[Q] What screen protector should i pick? - Thunderbolt Accessories

Im looking for a antiglare screen / antifinger print screen protector for my thunderbolt. i dont like a crystal clear one's cause it attracts to much fingerprints and when im outside its really hard to see my phone.
Im deciding from these. can anyone help me pick one i dont know what to pick since i dont have experience with any of these screen protectors. (The ones i have experience with SUCK there for im not buying them again) i have bad luck picking screen protectors ^-^
the following screen protectors are from amazon,since im still new to xda i cant post links, so search em up
#1 Halo Screen Protector Film Clear Matte (Anti-Glare) for HTC Thunderbolt (3-Pack) - Premium Japanese Screen Protectors
by Halo Screen Protectors
#2 SGP HTC Thunderbolt Screen Protector Steinheil Ultra Series [Ultra Fine]
Whats better between those 2? feel free to recommend me other screen protectors that i dont know about (thats antiglare and antifingerprint)

I use the Steinheil protector. I came to the Thunderbolt from the iPhone and really missed the PowerSupport screen protectors. After trying about a half-dozen different ones I found the Steinheil to be the best equivalent, IMHO.

Thanks man, I heard many good things about that screen protector and i decided to order one !

I have nothing but good things to say about SGP's. Great choice.
Sent from Thor's hammer!

I hate my Invisi-Shield with the "orangepeel" texture. It also has a kind of tacky-feel to it. Avoid!
I bought my girlfriend a sonix (by Lenntex) screen protector 2-pack (clear and anti-glare) for her iPhone and they're great! The finish is really hard and super smooth. It feels just like the naked glass. I'm waiting for my Thunderbolt ones to deliver any day now.

I can't find an anti-glare screen protector

I'm getting the phone soon, and I want an anti-glare one. I looked on ebay and can't find any.
*edit* I realized I didn't even ask anything. Can anyone point me to a website where I can buy an anti-glare screen protector?
Boxwave, AT&T, and Skinomi all have anti-glare screen protectors. I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
SGP's Steinheil Ultra Fine Film (available directly from the SGP Store site) is another option.

I live in Canada, so the AT&T one is not an option, I tried skinomi, but I didn't see an anti-glare one, can you link me to one directly?
I'll try boxwave now.

I'll be going with the SGP, I used it on all 4 iPhone and 1 Motorola Droid. They are awesome screen protectors.
I'll probably purchase from their ebay store.

haha, it's ok, I live in Canada, the closest ATT to me is one in Seattle (if there is one there), and that's two hours away.
I'm not gonna get one from ATT. However, I need to know if those ones from Amazon I posted will do.
I didn't know they had one yet. Good deal, supposed to be the best.

I HATE the anti-glare screen protector but it was the only thing available at the time. Instead, I purchase a regular one on eBay as well as the Incipio Feather case that comes with one. IF these those fix the feel/look, I'll just have to go naked (screen )
Hi Ivan go to T-Mobile and buy the protector for Samsung vibrant and it fits very nice upside down plus its antiglare I have on my atrix
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Gorilla glass..
I 'm waiting also my atrix..
and i ordered from ebay screen protectors..
they said its anti-glare, but i dont think so.. because its very cheap..
anw.. do we really need screen protector?
it makes less-sensitive the screen..
it hasnt got good antiglare action..
it may not be exactly at the size of the screen
the screen is gorilla glass.. it is necessary to have extra protection?
is gorilla glass really un-scratchable?
from keys the gorilla glass it doesnt make any scratches..
but with something stronger?
e.g phone falls..
if the screen brakes, the screen protector wont prevent it from breaking..
if anyone has atrix or any gorilla-glass phone without screen protector
and believes it's not necessary,
please just inform us!
Do not buy wrapsol screen protector. They are extremely hard to put on and it dims the screen quite bad. Its the one with anti fingerprints. Also, the installation is a pain. There is no room for error. Any dust or lint trapped between the glass and the protector can not be removed with tape. It will beforever there. Im just thinking of removing it since my protector has full of unremovable dirt..

I found it not too bad to apply. Make sure you're in a dust free environment (close the door in the bathroom and turn on the shower - hot - for a few minutes to steam things up).
I've messed up quite badly on an installation (got some lint stuck between the screen and protector) and was able to rectify the problem by washing the protector with soap and water and then reapplying it. Worked great!
there is what your looking for. these are the ones that have the Matte finish to them. i had these on my HD2 but now i bought the Invisible ones for my Atrix.
splash Masque Screen Protector Film Matte Clear (Anti-Glare) for Motorola Atrix 4G (3-Pack)
The best I've found is from www.nushield.com. I've used their screen products for years now on touch gps screens, Tilt2 and camera screens. Their DayVue film is great.

And with Atrix Screen you dont really need antiglare
I bought the ones from att. I have had protectors on all my phones, out of necessity after scratching a new phone. I don't care for the att ones. They do ok for glare, but are horrible for the clarity of the screen. I am going to take it off. I went for about 2 weeks before I installed it. I really don't want to use one, but I live in Florida and the glass just reflects the sunlight soo well, which in turn really brings out the finger smudges. So I'll get another brand.

[Q] Which screen protector should I choose?

Hy guys, i'm going to buy a Galaxy Nexus and I wanna buy a screen protector before getting the phone.
I have a ZAGG one on my iPod Touch 4g, but I don't like it, so I decided to ask here.
I had the opportunity to try a Brando one on a friend's iPhone 4, and it's very nice, but I can't find a Galaxy Nexus' one... So which i should choose? I also can't understand yet differences between the one using wet application and the others...
PS: i already found some questions on various screen protectors, but didn't find a "which shouldi i choose" one in this section...
PPS: Sorry if i made some mistakes, my English is only a scholastic one...
Brando have screen protectors available for for the Galaxy Nexus (not sure if they do international shipping):

I've heard the SGP Flex screen protector is very good, I'll most likely be ordering one myself. (http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...s-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html)
i have the zagg. Its actually not as orange peely like the zagg on my old galaxy s. I wish power support made their screen protectors for something other than by apple because theirs are excellent.

Oh, didn't know Brando already have in stock Galaxy Nexus' screen protectors! Thank you very much, probabilly i will buy it. But tell me please, which are the differences between screen protectors with wet application and the others?
Uff, now i'm very undecided on buying SGP Oleophobic or Brando...

Do you know if the Brando is a dry install? If so, it probably won't cover all of the screen like he Oleophobic from SGP. I just bought the Flex and it will be here Wednesday so I can let you know how that feel/orange peel is.
The Zagg on my iPod is crap looking at the Brando on my friend's iPhone. Yeah, it has less bubbles, but his doesn't make the user feel he is using a screen protector!
Not meant to hi-jack this thread but I came across this
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...-nexus-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
The description says that the screen protector has an oleophobic coating. I was wondering if the film is clear or matte? I don't like matte screen protectors.
I'm interested in that screen protector too... I'm undecided between this one and the Brando's one

It's clear, but I feel like it causes a little bit more friction than the bare screen. As mentioned in another review on here, it's significantly smaller than the entire screen area to avoid peeling at the curved edges, so that may be something that affects your decision to purchase.
How is the fitting of the Brando screen protector? Can someone upload a picture of it on the Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks.
I never realized screen protectors were such a big deal. lol
The one I am using now is the Anti-Glare screen protector that I got from Verizon. It was a bundle with 3 protectors, a car charger, and clip holster.
Didn't realize everyone used one... My GNex stays naked!
Stay away from the ones Verizon sells. They aren't completely terrible, but those things smudge so badly. It's pretty annoying, but I can't complain because they are protecting the screen for the most part.

I've tried just about every screen protector out there and I have come to realize the VZW protectors are the best for me. Yes, they do show smudges a bit more, but they don't yellow, they don't require the wet application, they don't have a weird feeling to them, and they are the cheapest. Also, I had one on my Incredible for 6 months without a mark on it.
Just my opinion after trying tons of brands.
Ghost armor..Hands Down

@OP: So which Screen Protector did you end up with? Cany ou give us some feedback about it?
Verizon clear (not anti-glare) works great. No orange peel. there is a 1-2mm gap from the bezel but the sensor cutouts align perfectly
Currently using VZW clear + Incipio NGP.
I went with ghost armor, cost me $15 covers top to bottom and edge to edge. Rep installed it perfectly. No orange peel yet but I do expect some. The good news is that it comes with a life time warranty. If it does begin to show signs of orange peel, they will replace it for a $5 install fee.

Don't look too far, it's right infront of you!!!
+1 for Verizon clear screen protector.

Any matte screen protectors

Finally picked up the gn and really dislike the rubber orange peel ones. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
I am a fan of Ghost Armor. No orange peel effect (Hate that about the Invisible Shield).

Matte as in anti glare? I always go with a clarivue anti glare protector. Use coupon code ICS2011 for 10% off I have one on my transformer, i had one on my iphone, i had one on my ipad, i had one on my droid x2, they work amazingly
Made the mistake of picking up a cheap matte screen protector off eBay. Although it went on smoothly, it kills the screen quality making it all grainy. Not sure if this happens with all matte protectors but had to order the SGP one as a replacement.
Thanks for the responses. I've always used matte anti glare so I'm just use to them since Droid x all the rest seem to show scratches faster and the rubber like ones begin to show marks and such from my experiences.
Thanks I'll be trying those recommened

I am not recommending a matte screen protector, I bought 2 different brands accidentally and you can see this rainbow like pixels on the screen of my GN. It is really annoying specially when your browsing webpages and watching videos.
I had matte on my BB Torch and Bold 9900/9810 and I just got accustomed to seeing past it, if you will.

I have the sgp on my razr and it's really grainy. I'd yours not grainy at all? I love the matte look but this graininess is killing me.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
all matte screen protectors have that grainy look as far as i know. that's what makes them matte. if you're looking for something to repel fingerprints, then you might want to take a look at the sgp ultra oleophobic but know that it wont help with glare/reflections. i got a cheap matte screen protector from ebay to use until i find something better.

Quick question about screen protectors

Sorry guys, I know there are about three thousand or so threads about screen protectors and whatnot.....but yeah...
So here's the thing. I ordered the UltraTough Clear ScreenGuardz from Bodyguardz and I am thinking about returning it.
After reading around in forums, I am really leaning towards getting one of these two:
SGP Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen Protector Steinheil Ultra Nano Clear
Skinomi TechSkin - Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen Protector Ultra Clear Shield
Would you guys think that these screen protectors are a better alternative to the bodyguardz screen protector...or should I just stick with the one I bought? Do you know better ones?
What I am looking for is a screen protector that won't affect the screen quality.
At this point I am also considering going naked.
Thanks ahead of time!
In the past I have used many different screen protectors. Lately i have been sticking with SGP. I have the ultra clear now, but seems they have replaced it with the Ultra Nano Clear. Not sure how that one is. I have ordered the
Skinomi TechSkin - Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen Protector Ultra Clear Shield but have not received it yet. I could be wrong but in my opinion the best for screen quality are the ones you don't need to spray with a solution like SGP. Seems like Zagg and some others that you spray to get on just affect the screen too much. Again thats just my opinion.
The ReaLook Flex HD won't alter the screen quality. It's the only wet screen protector that I've seen that doesn't have any type of orange peel.
Dude you already have the BG so just slap that on and give it a shot. I like that its a hard shield and not the rubbery film like the skinomi or zagg. If it doesnt look good then go for the nano, at least this is the path I have taken, I just got my BG yesterday. If it dont work out I will try the nano
Hmm, thanks for the feedback guys!
I did slap the BG on yesterday, but after about 3 hours there was something about it that bugged me.
I think I am gonna go ahead and order the nano and see how that works out. I am gonna put BG back on for now.
Let me know what else you guys think! I am loving the feedback! =)

Screen protecters

Hey guys sorry for asking a noob question but what screen protector would you recommend for the s3 and way?
Im looking for a thicker screen protector... But any suggestions would be great thank you
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Personally, I don't recommend it. I've had mine since launch, only a tpu case, and not a sing scratch on my screen. Though if you wanted one, the invisishields are good, but I personally don't like how they feel.
Oh ok ...cause I got the otter box defender case ..but I like having the extra protection lol
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Lol, another thing i [personally] don't like...I don't need at case 5x bigger than my phone, lol. But to each their own.
Amazon got lots of protectors
Just order my screen protector a must since I don't want my screen to scratch.
I personally like the matte type because its anti finger print smooth like satin but it does take away glare and dull screens which is fine for me.
Here a link for all types glossy and matte
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...otector&sprefix=samsung+galaxy+s3+scr,aps,225
I personally purchased this one hopes it fits well and lives up to the hype...
http://www.amazon.com/Tech-Armor-An...2&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s3+screen+protector
keyword is lifetime lol...
Lanboy
=)
I usually don't like Zagg screen protectors, but decided to get the new Zagg HD screen protector. Doesn't have that off colored glare as the original ones did and also has lifetime guarantee. Also doesn't leave finger smudges like regular screen protectors either.
