What do you guys think is the best screen protector for this phone? I have been looking on Amazon and they have been getting bad reviews on them.I ordered a mirrored one and that was a terrible middle because I couldn't see anything if there was any sunlight on the device. Any screen protectors like the Apple one where it is anti fingerprint? I'm thinking of trying the Zagg screen protector but I use Swype a lot and don't like my finger sticking to the screen.

I just received my ZAGG screen protector in the mail today. I'll let you know what I think once I put it on. My buddy has one on his IPhone, and I liked it because my finger DID NOT stick when I was sliding it around. I have seen other screen protectors that made my finger stick.
I've had a Zagg on my iPad, iPhone, Fascinate, Thunderbolt, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy 10.1 and now my Hercules. My finger has stuck to the screen exactly 0 times in the 2 years I've been using them and I've used Swype with every one of those devices.
I also prefer ZAGG's invisible shield. I had one on my Glacier and loved it so I grabbed one for my S II. You can usually find them several dollars cheaper on ebay or amazon.
I only use the screen protectors by ZAGG, but if you get a full kit, remember that you might run into fitment issues with tight-fitting cases. A full shield and a case seems redundant to me, anyway.
Zagg Invisi shield is definitely the way to go. I would just take your phone to the mall and have them apply with the wet method instead of the dry ones you can buy in store. They are the best and once you pay full price you can always get any side replaced for only 5$ :]
Personally I prefer the reallook screen protectors. They are a dry application, but have had awesome success with them. Only issue will be if you have the d30 case. But most screen protectors have issues with this case.

I tried one of those first on my Thunderbolt. It was really nice... Until it spent a ride in my pocket with my keys for a couple hours. It got pretty scratched up. I also have a pretty oily face and the Zagg hides that and the fingerprints a lot better than the SGP. When it's new though, that SGP is great.
I just ordered an Xtremeguard full-body kit off of ebay for $5 with free shipping. They are supposed to be direct competitors to Zagg from the looks of their ad but I don't have any experience with them so when I get it, I will get back to you.
I am not really worried about the screen as it's gorilla glass and that stuff is tough! I already have a Diztronic TPU case on my phone and just wanted a "apply and forget" screen protector that will lessen my OCDness with the screen (despite it being so tough).
anyone have a preferred screen protector with the 3DO case? i'm trying to find one that doesn't mess up with this case, lasts, and doesn't show all the oily fingerprints

I don't think you did it right i thought the squeege was scratching the screen protector. Cause it had a whole bunch of scratches on it. When trying to get the bubbles out. I removed the scratched up screen protector. Then underneath was the screen protector on perfectly. I even applied keys to it it didn't scratch up.

For those of you with the Zagg screen protector, does it tend to bubble around the edges when used in conjunction with a tpu/d30 case?
Considering getting one myself, but this would be the deal breaker

Im looking for a screen protector that doesnt hinder picture quality or touch screen feel. I didnt plan on buying a screen protector because ive never been happy with how they make my touchscreens feel (Invisible Shield, BestSkinEver) but I have a small light scratch and want to eliminate any future scratches.
I went with ghost armor... they applied it for me for 18$ and its amazing.
Reallook, hands down. It doesn't slow down swype, or dull the gorgeous screen. All air bubbles are gone after two days, and is a no water application.

I also recommend the Realook screen protector. You hardly notice that there's a screen protector on your Vibrant. Swype is great on it.

I handed my phone to my friend earlier tonight and the first thing out of his mouth was that I really should put a screen protector on it.
I have a realook on it.
My wife and I have Reallook and LOVE them. we r going to put them on my mother in laws new vibrant when it comes in. 61 Years old and wants the vibrant instead of the 3g slide.
I was using the clear freak for the past 3 weeks or so and I really liked it but I just switched to reallook and it's so much smoother! It's almost like it's too smooth now lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
are the reallook screen protectors fingerprint friendly? im looing for one that doesnt leave any finger prints.
So is the Realook protector similar to the Invisible Shield in terms of scratch resistance? What kind of material is it? The site says you can remove it,wash it, and reapply. That doesnt sound like tough protector like Invisible Shield or BestSkinEver (cannot be removed and reused). Is it just as scratch proof?
Anyone have any pics of it on their Vibrant? Thanks.
I also have the realook SP and love it. It is really easy to put on and I cant even tell it is there. It does show some prints when the screen is not on, but only then and they wcan be wiped off easily.
i had the CF and it was really bad, switched to the realook and its great
It's definitely not smudge proof. But I have yet to see a smudge proof that doesn't mess up the screens clarity

Best one by far is realook. I just received mine today, ordered on ebay, received it in 4 days. Super simple installation. No bubbles, prefect fit. Contrary to other posts, no lost in sensitivity to touch or any of the home buttons at the bottom of the screen. Swype is still a breeze. Doesn't cause loss of quality in the screen. And best of all, its invisible, my wife can't even tell its on. Paried with the gel skin, best protection for this phenomenal phone. Only thing I can't comment on is the finder prints, as I just finished the installation.

Realook, had another protector on it that i bought from ebay, thought it was pretty good, until i put my realook on, and realized how the screen was supposed to be, swype is much quicker with this one, and i handed my wife my phone after i applied it, and she asked me why I removed my screen protector, so she couldn't even tell that it was on!

Not really, they are on amazon, once you order once, realook will give you a coupon code to use for your next purchase, 2 for like 12 bucks (realook price)is more than I paid for all of my other screen protectors I have tried for my vibrant, so far i have tried 4 brands, I stopped looking after i got my realook on my phone. well worth the money.
I've been look around to find a nice screen protector to use. I've been using a crappy $1 from eBay, which don't get me wrong does the job, but I'm looking for something nicer. Something with more quality and maybe a different option, like oleophobic or something.
I've been looking around and reading a lot of reviews. It seems I'm stuck and I can't decide.
Realook VS. Spigen

Your screen protectors scratch easily? I don't even think that they are near necessary with this phone. I've had mine for about 5 and a half months, I work construction and carry it around in my pocket without a case or screen protector and I don't have a single scratch on the thing. It's neigh invulnerable the only damage to it is a thin scratch along the bottom back by the speaker but its not on the glass so I don't care.
The Zagg Invisibleshield is pretty good, but it has kind of an orange peel look to it. I've only been told good things about the Steinheil Ultra Crystal screen protectors. You could always try that, or the other screen protectors they have.

XO skins does a great job little less orange peel look and not quite as sticky as zagg invisible shield though both are good products priced about the same. I've used both xo on my e4gt now zagg on my evo 4g.
Check out the Steinheil screen protectors (Amazon search: Steinheil Epic 4g Touch). They are pricey, but well worth it. I have the Ultra Crystal on mine and although it still picks up fingerprints they wipe right off with a microfiber cloth. I've had it on since I got my phone 4 months ago and there is not a single scratch on it anywhere. They do have different types (like the oleophobic) so you should find what you're looking for.
i use from radio shack or walmart there universal in a blue package u get 5 for 11 bucks if ur good at puttin them on like i am 1 last me 4 months and im a metal fabricator... im rough. gl!

I'm going to purchase this because you said it's a good one! Well no but seriously, I'm going to look around some more so if anyone knows any protectors that can back it up I'll take a look. But as it stands, I'll probably be buying this one
I bought an awesome pack of three on Amazon when I first got my GNex, let me see if I can find them in my purchase history.
They're anti-glare, and you can't see your fingerprints because they have a matte finish.

Also for more protection than just a piece of plastic, i use the fantom glass screen protector which is also pretty nice.

+1 for this. I have used several other screen protectors (ZAGG, Spigen, Clarivue and a couple of others), and this one, while not the easiest to get on, works great. Great feel and I like the way the screen looks when it is on. Because it is a matte protector, it is not invisible, but no real orange peel and it is not sticky at all - great finger feel on the screen! And cheap as well!
I hated any screen protector that I put on my Galaxy Nexus, after buying it I put on an Xtremeguard wet apply full body, after 4 months, I took it of.
Screen protectors suck and reduce the usability on the phones at times, some of them are pretty sticky or not as slippery and smooth as the glass.
PIE from AOSPA has never been so easily, I still use a case, but I bought my phone to actually use it, and I've been affecting my usability by babying it. It'll be so worth it unless you're really that paranoid about a scratch here and there.
No screen protector doesn't work for me. I work in a machine shop and metal chips find their way in my pockets daily. I prefer the non anti-glare 3 pack from Walmart or target. I forget the brand but they're cheap enough and don't interfere with usability.

Is there any company out there that makes screen protectors like SPG? Currently I have the Verizon screen protector with the diztronic tpu case and it's already peeling. I know Skinomi makes one but it's a wet application and I really don't like the feel of it. I know Skinomi has a sticky feeling to it like Zagg when you glide your finger on the screen. I have searched across the Web. Seems like no love for the Maxx.

No, Skinomi is the best protector. Zagg is a piece of crap! I have used multiple Skinomi protectors (never the whole body ones) and loved all of them. I have the Skinomi on my MAXX right now and my fingers glide like on polished glass. You have to be in a dust-free environment and have an assistant help spray your fingers with the applicator. There is a science to doing it right. Also the lifetime warranty is awesome.

SON OF A B... I feel like I am being punished for upgrading early or something! I have the anti glare screen protectors. The girl at the store did a GREAT job of putting them on. She even used scotch tape and everything to eliminate dust. Well...I'm on day 6 of use, and now my protector is peeling off. Why are so many things going wrong with my purchase! I'll call it bad luck and have her put a different one on and hopefully week 2 of my trial will go better and the notification volume issue will be resolved.

I agree with skinomi being on top, still have a skinomi on my original droid razr maxx for almost 2 years and you cant barely tell its on there.
I bought a skinomi and I think it sucks. When I think screen protector I think of something hard that can not be scratched. These "tech skins" are some kind of soft gel. I actually gouged it with my fingernail while swiping.
I use the xtremeguard. Feels rubbery and not as durable as I expected. I scratched it intentionally using my fingernails and it failed me.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
using skinomi.. it is a soft type material but protects well.. and the items it comes with just makes it easy to install. if you gauge it with any small scratches or even your fingernail.. dont worry about it, it heals itself back.
Here's a follow up on the verizon anti glare 3 pack. I'm still on my first one. It's got quite a few tiny marks but not visible when display is on.
Once in a while my defender or Trident cyclops cases will make the edge bubble ever so slightly but no dust has accumulated and upon removal of cases with built in screen protectors it goes away.

Another +1 for Skinomi. I am currently using it. Application was a cinch. And they have an application video to aid. It is applied and I put a Otter box on top. Feels and looks great. Not as stick or gelly as I expected. Perfect.

Long story short, my mother just got this phone a few days ago and I know the amount of abuse she inflicts on her phones. She normally just throws it into her purse with all the other stuff. I'm trying to find a protector that can handle whatever may hit the screen. I've used Skinomi and like them but I've used a tempered glass protector and I like those a lot more. Do any of you have a recommendation for what type to get?
P.S. I already have found her a case, so the body of the phone should be safe.

I haven't seen any of those for the Ultra series yet. I have a Skinomi, and have had it on the phone for 5 months now - it's just fine. Occasionally the case will start to peel the edge a bit but it's always easy to get it to adhere back down. In fact, I haven't seen that happen in weeks.
So yesterday I removed my anti glare screen protector (verizon 3 pack) because it was due for a change. The screen was so hard to see, very shiny and reflective, but it did look slightly clearer.
But I became weary and installed another one. Lol.

depending on how you carry your phone around i think your way more likely to shatter your screen then scratch it. I kept my s2 in my pocket and never had a screen protector. after 2 years the screen still has no scratches.

I am way more likely to shatter the screen than scratch it, yes. Also it is very important to me to not feel anything on the screen and that the case will be as invisible as possible.

Dont get a Zagg, they almost always orangepeel and are overpriced. Check out Spigen screen protectors, they have some of the best screen protectors i have ever used. I got got one for my Nexus 5 and cant even tell there is on on my screen. You can get a 3 pack from them for less than 1 Zagg

The invisibleshield never had an orangepeel effect. I think that feel belongs to the older versions of Zagg.
Anyway, from my experience I went with Zagg. Just bought the screen protector. If I won't like it I can always ask for a refund, their customer service is amazing. Also, if anything peels off or the installation isn't going smooth they can always replace my screen protector for free.
If I won't like it I'll go with the glas.tr by spigen.
Thanks everyone.
I have a zagg invishield on day of purchase cracking protected action and covers well. I applied and left the phone for 24 hours . I have some spigen too and there now just sat in the box lol.

Why not just get a screen protector from xtremeguard for under $2
I cannot stand the sticky/gummy feel of Zaggs. For that type of protection, I go with Clearplex. Right now, I have a not-quite-faulty Spigen glas.TR on mine while I wait on the replacement Nano glas to come in.
Never really like Zagg, there more pro apple imo. But thats not the reason I dont like them...I hate the orange peal looking and sticky texture I get from there screen protectors!
Ordered a Zagg. They have always done fine by me.

I couldn't find any pictures on their site, do they have cutouts for everything?

There are cutouts in the picture for the speaker, prox sensor. Although rumor has it that the 3 pack on amazon by Spigen for $15 its just like a flat deal with no cutouts and works fine. Go with what you trust and what you think is right and will work for you.
I don't like Zagg. I used Invisishield on a lumia800 and it had horrendous amounts of orange peel. Also, I was not a fan of the feel because it didn't feel smooth. They are not very forgiving if you are not good at applying them correctly the first time. I RMA'd one because it got some scratch on it and while they did send me the replacement, they said they never received my original protector and charged me the amount for a new invisishield. It's their fault for not providing me with a tracking number on their return packaging that it got lost. I've used dry application screen protectors since and they are visually better looking as well as they feel better.
I find Zaggs texture to be... Weird. I'd go for Skinomi. Smooth and doesn't have the orange peel effect that most wet application screen protectors have

I got Spigen Protector Steinheil. My first time using. Cheap and I'm more than happy with it

If I play games on my phone, I can't use a Zagg. The sticky gummieness doesn't let my finger slide on the screen, it's tries to skip across instead.
Zagg is garbage in my opinion. I never had one I kept on more than a few days. I in general don't like screen protectors. If I did use one though the only company I liked was clear-coat.

My only complaint about zagg (and most wet application screen protectors) is that over time, if you were jeans, the screen protector will turn blue. It's easier to notice on a phone with a white front, but it sucks to know that it's happening nevertheless. Be prepared for that if you plan to invest in one of these.
