Wondering if I should put a realook on order right now or just use the one provided? feedback please.
I ordered the Barely-There case, and since it's made by the same company I assume the SPs are the same.
I really, dislike mine. The screen protector was very hard to swipe without getting my finger stuck. It get's dirty, and smudgy. Plus, the SP is for the international Galaxy S, meaning they're unnecessary holes at the buttom.
I wouldn't recommend putting them on, because they're terrible.
Order the Realook now, because you will be much happier.

order it now! I have one on my vibrant, my son's ipod touch and my wife's iphone. The only flaw in my opinion is the fingerprints, but that can easily be fixed with a quick wipe from your shirt.
Go for the realook. You will not be disappointed.
Got my TC a few weeks ago, and was really looking forward to replacing the T-Mobile SP that I got for free the day I received the phone. I know what I had on it sucked, and like Sam V said, I was disappointed when the SP was not for the US market.
Instead I ordered the realook and I am frankly stunned by the improvement. Never having the opportunity to use it without a SP, I did not know what I was missing. So yeah, be like everyone else and get the TC and RL. Although I have never seen it posted here yet, I have been a lurker for sometime, buy a couple of two packs since there is a good chance of messing of the first try. If you have not done a SP before that is. I am glad I tried the 2nd one myself instead of going to the local T-Mobile looking like a noob ass, it went on fine.

Might want to ask the source... I've done the same for Best Skins Ever, which I can't wait for... The damn Tilt 2 is slippery as a bar of soap.

That's the one I ordered. Says tilt2.
EDIT: Well I think it is. Thier site seems to have gone down while I was posting this.
The tilt2 doesn't show up under the AT&T manufacturer on the zagg website, but if you go to HTC and then, I think it is page 3 or 4 of the HTC phone model list the Tilt 2 is listed there.
From the looks of the diagram, there doesn't seem to be skin coverage for the chrome trim, which upsets me

I contacted BSE directly last week and had some back and forth emails with them. They were unaware that the tmo tp2 was different than Tilt2. They do not yet have a skin for tilt2.
I ordered one from Bodyguardz.com with a 10% coupon. I've never used them but heard decent things.

Interesting.. The person I spoke to clearly said they had one for the T-Mobile model but would have one for ATT/Sprint/Verizon in the next few weeks.
Got my invisishield in today. Will put it on tonight if I have time. Will update with impressions.

What are your impressions? Does it stick better than the one that came in the box? Stupid thing started to lift at the bottom within a two days for me.
It's sticking fine. No issues at all with lifting or peeling.
Seems to fit well, could be cut a little more accuratley (by hairs) but I think that is intentional to allow some user error in application.
It doesn't feel anywhere near as nice as the one that came in the box, much "stickier" to the touch when sliding your fingers around. Once you are used to it, it's fine though. I've got one small bubble on the back of it but all the mini bubbles that were on the front dried out after a couple days.
The biggest complaint, and not really a major concern of mine, is that it's got that rainbow streaking thing going on. If you aren't paying attention to it you don't notice it but when you do it really makes the amazing screen look very crappy. Most noticeably it shows up on the white at&t spalsh screen.
Has anyone come across an Anti-Smudge/Anti-Glare screen protector for the 4G? I was looking for the ones that have a slightly textured feel to them. I've done a few searches and came up with only a couple and they were "cut to fit" or from someone that looked a little shady (had misspelled words in their advertisements). I have an XTREMEgaurd on there now that I'm not super happy with but it'll keep my screen safe until i get what I'm looking for. Thanks ahead for your help.

The T-Mobile Store took and used a G2 Anti glare Anti smudge and cut is slightly at the bottom and it looks and works great. I think the girl has done quite a few as she did a great job on mine. I would highly recommend this over the regular clear plastic ones.

I was just thinking about getting the XTREMEguard, why dont you like it? I thought it would be nice..plus it is supposedly 'very tough' "Military grade" material... please tell me a little feedback on that?....
BTW- are you looking for a S.P. which has a grippy texture? is that what you mean? I saw one on eBay which said it had a grippy texture....
Well i may end up giving the G2 screen protector a shot. Hopefully someone up there will be kind enough to cut it for me. I don't trust myself to cut it correctly lol. Thanks a lot for the info!
The problem i had with EXTREMEgaurd was that it had visible "grains", even after having it on there for 3 days. The "grains" ran length wise across the screen and it drove me nuts so I peeled it off yesterday. It is also thicker than my liking. It served its purpose though and was scratch resistant. I tend to be a little more particular than most people though so you may not notice the inequalities that I found with it. I only wasted 5 bucks though. I think there are superior products out there but the price was right and like I said... some people are as particular as I am.
Im not sure what they mean by "grippy texture". "Grippy" sounds like "sticky" to me so I'm not sure. The one I'm looking for is textured but not "sticky". Like what Bobsbbq was talking about with the G2 screen.
Thank you both for the info. I'm gonna look around for a couple more days and then I'm gonna go the "cut G2 SP method".
I have tried the Clarivue in the past, which btw does not have one yet. But nonetheless, it has always been highly rated
My Point? Well the Tmobile OEM one that they put out seems to be EXACTLY the same as the Clarivue.
You can't go wrong with that. By the way EREBUSTING, what is a S.P. ??
I think I know what a grippy texture means, sort of like the ones (they are good tho) like the invisible shield that you use a liquid to put on??
Hi everyone,
I'm going to be getting an SGSII, and I'm not sure whether to get a screen protector or not.
I think I will (better safe than sorry), but I'm really confused as to all the choice.
There are cheapo ones off ebay, and there are $30 ones from Zagg, and a crapload in between!
What are all the different ones out there? What's different about them? What are their pros and cons?
How easy are they to put on?
How much do they actually protect?
How much do they cost?
How do they feel?
How do they look?
How do they affect the touchscreen?
How am I supposed to know which to chose, if at all?
Please don't just say a brand and that you recommend it, tell me why.
Thank you,
Amando.

I wont be getting one my galaxy s hasn't got a single mark after a year of use. Ive applies many screen protectors in the past to other devices and I've never been able to apply one perfectly (tiny spec of dust/ slightly missaligned etc)
This phone doesn't need one. I would get a case though

That's a thread addressing whether it needs one or not, none of the questions I've asked are really properly answered in that thread...

I'm not sure whether I want one or not... I can see your point, but there's always the 'just in case' nagging feeling... I'm a student and I live away from home. I shouldn't really even be buying the phone, but I want it and i *can* afford it, at a sacrifice for a few weeks. So I just want to make sure it is worth it.
I like zagg a lot, great protection and gives it some grip.... better safe then sorry is always the best method.... putting it on can be a pain... you really cannot go wrong.... it is to protect the screen and does not affect anything IMO
I actually always found the Zagg ones to be really fiddly to put on and overpriced. On my old phone I went with a cheap screen protector. I just needed to protect it from the possibility of my headphones scratching it in my pocket but that's about it.
It all depends on the amount of protection you think you need. If you're gonna be gental with it then the cheap-o ones will do the job and they're easier to apply.
Ive ordered a xtremeguard until something better comes out. But they got good reviews online. You have to install with a little water though.
So I'm a manager at a Verizon premium retailer and I just had this guy come in and try to get me to buy these for my store anyways this guy hooked me up with one for my GS3 and I must say it was the easiest thing to install, no bubbles and it took all of a minute to completely do it. So far I haven't had any problems with it and I would actually recommend my immediate family to get one, they just have old phones not supported by it unfortunately lol. It's almost like the InvisibleShield except it doesn't have that really thick orange peel like feeling to it. There is only two problems I have found with it, if your hands are greasy you will have a hard time with the touch screen (easy to fix, just wash your hands) also it doesn't cover the FFC I understand why, but at the same time I personally would have liked it to cover that. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask.
Easy Install
By the way I am in no way affiliated with this company, nor am I trying to influence you in any way, I am simply sharing my experiance with this screen protector, since most users (myself included) care about our screens getting scratched.
TL;DR: Its Easy To Install And Really Nice SP
I wouldn't ever buy something that starts with an "i" though.
I just purchased a back cover for my Z3C and noticed that it covers the camera lens too. That's a nice feature considering so many have scratched their lenses.
And it goes without saying, I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! Just trying to share the deal I got.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/
I got in on this for another phone but didn't see anything for the z3c, otherwise i would have ordered something for the back
Guess my brain wasn't working that day, just found it. This will be perfect for the back plus better grip. Ive used these in the past with great results
thanks for sharing! just ordered one too!
does it fit with devilcase?
I don't see why it wouldn't. It's just a thin piece of tpu
Sent from my Xperia Z3 Compact
Nice!
Thanks for the heads up!
These were so cheap, I purchased two of them. I've noticed that these films tend to yellow over time, and it really shows on a white phone.

Now that you mention it, I recall the yellowing from past use
On a side note, I got an email today for 91% off the entire site. Will have to place an order today

I hope not, I really like their protectors; mainly for the back. However they do need to work on the yellowing issue as you mentioned.
Also they just came out with their spartan glass screen protectors. Really hard to say, what's going on but I'm not complaining
Will have to stock up on a few items just in case
Edit: Just went to their page and saw that they now offer lifetime warranty on their protectors, granted most will update at least every 2 years I imagine. So the warranty is kind of pointless; good marketing scheme though. Also looks like they are starting to offer more products overall. So I'm not sure why the low prices, maybe to stay competitive?
EDIT 2: maybe you are right, just reread the email and says "*Limited quantities are available in tempered glass and other accessories by XtremeGuard. These products will only be available while supplies last"
Sorry to double post but wanted this separate from my last post.
I believe this code is good for more than 1 use; so anyone wanting to use it on the site is more than welcome. I just ordered a bunch of protectors, etc for various devices we have.
price comes out to dirt cheap.
91% off 2-15 items storewide: BEACH91 enjoy! At this price, you can't go wrong
otherwise they still have their summer80 off.
