I bought 5pcs for about $3 off of ebay which is a great deal but it looks like they were cut wrong because it doesnt line up great.
Here is the link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/29064751891...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1898wt_897
I really dont want to pay $18 for a single one, like Steinheil.
My question is, have any of you bought cheap ones that lines up perfect with the phone and corners?
As with many things you get what you pay for.
I have the Skinomi which one of the early ones available and its been ok:
http://www.skinomi.com/
The more I use them the more I recommend the wet apply one as they seem to have less bubble and last longer. For people who are worried just go to best buy or a mall stand and have someone who installs them all day install it.
Most of the newer screen protectors don't line up directly to the edge if thats what your referring to. They save space on the edges so that it doesn't peel off as easy and a lot of new cases cover the edges to. Plus they save money by using less material. I have the ones from verizon and they dont go edge to edge. I even believe that the new Zagg's are being cut the same way.

I actually hate the ones that uses water to install, such as invisiShield. They are not as slippery as the ones that stick on there.
Is skinomi requires water to install?

No I am definitely not looking for a perfect fit but the ones I bought does not line up straight, from top corner to bottom corner. I can buy verizon protectors $9 for 3pcs. So, if they dont line up crooked I am fine.
i bought this http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...BX5A/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1324879125&sr=8-6
i think it's worth it since i started using that brand since my first android, 2 yrs ago. it's really tough and durability is super good.
The reason why the nexus doesn't have a dry install that doesn't extend to the edge because our screens are slightly curved so they will create bubbles at the top and bottom of the screen. The wet screens protector will fit better because they are more bendable
I use a brand called terrapin on my GN. They're cheap on eBay but they're made from very hard plastic. They go right to the edges of the screen and fit really well with cut outs in the right place for the speaker, camera and various sensors.
The quality of these protectors is brilliant, no affect on screen quality at all and there's no rainbow effect or orange peel. There's a few light scratches I can see on the screen protector when bright lights are shone on the unlit screen but as soon as you wake the screen up you can't see them at all.

I would still use a screen protector dust/sand/dirt can get on your fingers and still scratch it plus anything gets in the case and the cover may scratch it. I am super paranoid about scratches though so it may be just me.
There's a bunch of discussion in the Accessories forum on which screen protector is the best. I vote for Verizon "clear" one.
Great! Ordered them. Hopefully they will turnout better.

In their videos the take a dremel to one and it stops the bit. No way the cheap plastic ones would.
Orange peel is my biggest problem with expensive ones such as invisible shield.
XO skins looks pretty legit. I wish I had seen it before I purchased the one I posted earlier
If they are not too too expensive I might pick that up too, as a back up.

Just thought I would share. I picked up a ZAGG Invisible Shield for the Galaxy Nexus today at BestBuy. As usual, its top notch. Very well cut. Reaches to all edges, not too hard to install (mind you, I have a lot of experience with them, and have gotten pretty good lol)
(sorry its stupidly hard to take pictures.. and uhh I used my Nexus One to take them lol) BUT just as the pictures show.. it really is invisible and hard to notice.

I hate ZAGG. They look good for about a week then they start collecting lint around the edges and it also stretches out of place.

+1 on the powerskin.
is there a "invisi skin" for the body?
i'm more interested in putting a invisible shield type protection for the body.
as for the front, i've used armorsuit and they have less orange peel effect.
without a suitable "powersupport" type i probably would just use the wet skin, but not for this phone. resolution and screen is too damn sexy.
How's the feel of it? I never liked the rubbery feeling of ZAGG protectors... made swiping motions on the screen a chore. Has it changed from their previous material or is it the same?
+1 for Best Skins Ever, their stuff is super cheap and works amazingly well with minimal orange peel and not as grippy as the Zagg. I've tried them all; Zagg, GhostArmor, Skinomi, SGP, but as far as the wet film install types, Best Skins Ever is definitely my favorite.

I concur, and the orange peel bothers me. Never using them again.
The cover itself is very good though for those who aren't OCD like me.
I like Zagg. I'd rather have a thick film that actually protects from cuts and scratches than a thinner one that looks nicer.
The only time the zagg shield are hard to use is the summer time when it's humid outside. Makes swiping hard.

Well, I finally installed ZAGG on my GN. The outline cut looks good, and was so easy to apply to. It does feel strong. It doesn't feel rubberish actually, and when you look at the reflection, its kinda looks slightly bumpy (though can't see any air bubbles). On screen, it kinda looks like there is a smear of water/oily look -- but then again, I only just put it on 10 minutes ago!
It does say that micro air bubbles will eventually come out over the next couple of days, so will see how it goes.
I love mine. Ordered mine on CyberMonday from Zagg along with my full body for my 2011 11'' MacBook Air. Due to issues with customs I received my shield prior to getting my phone so before I even booted the phone up it had its protector on. I put Zagg on all my devices that take it.

I was scratching my head as I don't see any orange colour on the screen protector, but now I just realised you referring to those little bumps (aka orange peel). Yeah at first, it bugs me, but it grown onto me now.

I had the Zagg on my Vibrant and i now have one on the Nexus. The one on the Vibrant had annoying orange peel but this one seems better. Im good at installing them though. One thing that really annoys me now though is they watermark the shield in the lower right corner with "ZAGG". But you are right about power support. Thats all i buy for my wifes iphones. She hates the Zagg anyway LOL.
This is a strange question, but do you still have the packaging for the screen? I wanna know what the UPC number is so I can see if any local stores around me have this bad boy
Last week I found some screen protectors on ebay for the nexus that I thought I'd give a try. The deal was 10 for 6 dollars which is a pretty sweet deal I figured even if the plastic was somewhat cheap.
Well they came today, and I didnt apply any yet but they had the double sided stickers (like how SGP does their skins) and so I peeled back the front sticker and felt the plastic and it felt pretty thick, much like the the quality of SGP. Also, I noticed that they have an actual cut out around the camera which I thought was nice since it could be used as another reference point when applying the skin. And, on top of that the screen goes the whole side of the screen with no lip on the sides.
Here is the link if anybody is interested, I should be applying it later and supplying pics of it once I do.

No bubbles from it reaching the edge of the screen? I don't think I've heard of a dry application screen protector that actually reaches the edges of the screen without bubbling up or peeling near the edge do the curvature of the screen...

I see what you mean by the peeling cause of the curvature and the shorter screens would pretty much stop where the peeling is actually happening lol, but I still like that is at the ends only to be honest, but it doesnt bother me so much. The pics make the peeling look a lot worse than it actually is I think.

Is the difference that bad? I really want an antiglare film for the Nexus... I actually really like matte screen protectors, especially after putting on so many matte power support protectors on iPhones.
I'm currently staring at my MB Air that has a glossy display with an antiglare matte screen protector I had put on perfectly
I just realized this is a super old thread but I'll post anyway.
(assuming you still use these screen protectors), does the matte one affect the colour at all? I used to have one on my Atrix, and it kind of dulled the colours and made whites a little rainbowy. But maybe I just chose the wrong manufacturer of $1 Hong Kong matte screen protectors
Yes it does, I had a Matte one, and within a minute, took it off. It looks absolutely terrible, worse than having an orange peel effect from wet apply screen protectors.

Looks like this protector comes up easily... I had a Skinomi (similar to Zagg) on my GNex. Only had 2 spot where my Driztronic case rubbed the protector causing it to come up. I'd love to keep the phone naked, but too worried if I ever dropped it on say... concrete.
I bought 3 clear protectors from the seller called wireless_toy_world and this is how it looks like under florescent light:
The top doesnt stick well and it is short at the bottom. I will try another seller and report back.
Let me know if you find a cheap and good one..

What? No, they don't. The cheap protectors (Usually dry applications) don't have any liquid or residue to use thus no ruining the screen. It's akin to static cling for some of these cheap protectors.

Where did you buy this case?
As i have now tried 3 different screen protectors i can say this:
ZAGG/KINGFISH: both sold by car phone warehouse are no good.
Zagg is a flimsy piece of skin which once fitted is not even smooth. Your finger will not slide on the screen and it makes the view on the screen quite poor as well.
Kingfish is a Matt type screen. Its smooth but also covers the front camera and goes beyond the beveled edge of the phone making it easy to collect dust. Viewing is not very good and i suspect covering the sensors won't do any good either
Positive: Protex
Sold by phones4u and online. Cheap when compared with the above and easy to fit. (I always use droplets of water to fit as it eliminates dirt and little dust fibres to the minimum)
Easy to slide the finger on, does not cover the sensors or cameras.
Rock screen protector: similar to protex, a bit wider and same quality. Highly recommended to the point that i have cancelled the original protectors that Samsung will bring out later in the month.
Overall if you want something that will be good and not disrupt the feel and view, the 2 above ones are ideal. I'm sure there will be other more or less expensive but i won't be testing any new ones.

Are Protex and Rock wet or dry protectors? Do they stretch to the edges of the phone? Or are the edges exposed?
The eyes are slightly exposed about 2mm.
They are not soft protectors and that makes them very good. No glare or other issues. Zagg is a soft one and the most problematic one.
When you say wet or dry i suspect you mean needing to use spray water to apply. Both rock and protex do not need water to apply but using it makes it much easier to apply

Wet application screen protectors
I originally got a dry application screen protector (the ones with the sticky stuff) as an interim measure. After a few days it did start peeling up slightly on the edges as the screen is curved on the edges. I then ordered an XtremeGuard protector (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/23080181...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3744wt_1396) which is a wet application one. It has been sooooo good. Since it is wet application it is alot more flexible and can hence handle the curved edges. Also the XtremeGuard protectors don't suffer from the 'lemon-peel' effect of other wet application screen protectors.
Not saying anything bad against other screen protectors, more just sharing my experience with some screen protectors.
Gear4 Case vs. Case-mate
Hi,
Your Gear4 case looks very nice and pricing is reasonable.
Do you have any experience with the Case-mate barely there cases and how it compares to your Gear4 case?
Thanks
Saw this on ebay today. Was wondering if anyone has tried it out yet. It seems similar to the one sgp is coming out with.

It's not unique. SGP did it first with their Curved Crystal, which is the one I'm getting when it's eventually available at Amazon.

Well sgp's hasn't even came out yet so for now yes, it is unique AND it is first to sell it. Who is to say sgp didn't get the idea from Tridea?

That could be a month from now.
Why bash this company and say SGP was first? This company could have been first they are actually shipping now not just taking pre-orders. I first saw this protector on ebay around the same time the SGP was posted on here so who knows who was first?
I have no affiliation with them I'm just saying there is no point in saying it's not unique when they are the first company SHIPPING one so it actually is unique

Strange, before it said pre-order rather than add to cart
Might have been overwhelmed because of preorders, hence the long expected ship time. Either way I'd love to see a review on the Tridea, but SGP makes some high quality products, especially screen protectors.
Also, it is available on Amazon. It's $11.99

Wish that had been listed before I ordered them from Korea! I could have had them sooner
This has a good price but the sgp covers under the button and above the speaker. Wish this one did, I'd try it.
Fwiw. The sgp dealer i ordered from told be they had issues with the first batch that came in and that they are going to have to cut a new match which might cause further dealay.

I got mine today and they were a little difficult to align properly but not bad. You have to press on the edges several times to get them to stick but if your persistent they will stay down. The clarity is pretty good. When the screen is off there are some weird looking sport that almost look like orange peel but they are smooth and you cannot feel them. When the screen is on you cannot see these spots at all. These are just my first thoughts. I will report back in a few days to see if the edges stay down.
Overall I am pretty happy with the protector. They are much better than the straight ones that don't stick to the edges.
Amazon no longer has this screen protector. I was just about to order it too.

You might've seen a momentary Amazon stock hiccup, because I see that it's still in stock for $12. I have it "saved for later" as a 2nd choice while I await SGP's Curved Crystal.
with the sgp one's you get two pieces.

SGP failed with first batch of "Curved Crystal"
Then SGP failed with first batch of Neo Hybrid.
Goodness, are they testing it out on a customers?
p.s. Tridea owners, any comments on a subject?
Are these worth it? Seem to be the cheapest screen protectors for the quality?
FYI - Spigen's long-awaited Curved Crystal screen protector is now available at Amazon for $16 with free shipping, but won't actually be in stock until August 9th, so with 2-day shipping (Prime) it'll be in my hands by next Monday.
EDIT: Back In Stock again (Aug 9)
I've gone through three crappy screen protectors already:
1) SGP Ultra Crystal (dry; discontinued due to edges peeling up; returned it; curved crystal fixes it)
2) Skinomi (wet; TPU case peeled the edges up; feels funny)
3) Incipio's free protector that comes with their Silicrylic DualPro case (dry; oily-looking; peeling up at the edges and there's gunk under it already)
Comes with 2 in the pack. Can't wait to finally replace my cheapo protector with this full-coverage glassy-feeling version.

If you use the hinge method (two pieces of tape) to apply it, then it should only take one attempt to put on perfectly, limiting the amount of time for dust to drift under it to a minimum.

I know I can order straight thru Spigen, but the topic says they are now available at Amazon while Amazon says they are not available... Thank you tho.
Hell even the OP says they aren't available now as the title says... misleading, topic is misleading.....

Wouldn't the hinge method be hard to use, since this is a curved cover?

It was available for buying when the OP posted it. When I checked it last time, it said 9 in stock. So it went out of stock later on. Not OP's mistake.
Just ordered one off of the SGP website. Can't wait to get it!
By the way, does anyone else think the display on the S3 is WAY smoother than the S2? Without a screen protector I mean.

My apologizes to the op then. Was out when I checked about an hour after he posted it.
I've been looking for a screen protector with this type of cut out for the speakers and home button for the longest time.. If only it covered the camera too

I love my Ultra Nano Clear and can barely see its even on there. Only reason its noticeable is because its cut short so at angles u can see the edges. Just wish the it covered the whole screen like this one does.
I've never had issues with Spigen screen protectors in the past, but I can't speak for the quality of their cases. I'm not a fan of cases in general. Only reason I've got one on my SIII is to hide the purple..... XD
Can anyone comment as to whether a case will cause the edges of this protector to lift?

Any insight into the clarity of the screen afterwards? I am looking to really get away from the rainbow grain effects of this otterbox built in protector.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
If its anything like their Ultra Nano Clear which I'm hoping it is, its crystal clear and you'll only notice its there because of the slight visible edge from the cutouts around the speaker, camera and home button.
I kind of wish they covered the camera and only cut out the speaker n home button tho.

This is if you have the white SGS3. If you have the blue one, the screen protector is very noticeable.

Are you referring to this new curved crystal from spigen? If so that's slightly disappointing. Makes some sense tho since the U.N.C. is thinner while this one is supposed to be slightly thicker which would make the edges around the cam, speaker n home stand out more.
I do have the Pebble "Purple" GS3 btw. lol
My current screen protector (U.N.C. not this new one yet) is only noticeable around the edges. I can see the edge line. Aside from that line, the covered area looks identical to the non covered areas. Sometimes I can't even tell its there at all.

I have a Nillkin case and do not have this problem. There is some clearance between the edge of the protector and the edge of the screen but I think it'll depend on what case you have.
