Best dry screen protector - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys after having some bad luck with the wet screen protectors I am looking for the best dry screen protector to get. Anyone have any ideas? One that would prevent fingerprints would be the best. I have a GSM nexus

Sgp Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic. You can them on amazon for roughly $14 for a two pack.

Thanks mate but they aren't dry ones. I don't want any solution to use

Sgp Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic is dry one.
Sgp Steinheil Flex is wet

Also look into Boxwave.
The Steinheil Ultra Oleo isnt edge to edge....the Boxwave says it is but I read of a couple people having problems getting it to stick on the outer edges of the screen. Boxwave support says after a few days it should conform and stick just fine.

Honestly, the ones from VZW arent bad at all ... no orange peel, little to no added "drag" on your fingers, and covers all but a very tiny edge around the entire glass (may actually be good if you run a case)

The ones at Verizon suck IMHO. I picked up a 3 pack for my girlfriends GN and the first one the clerk put on and had a fiber under it. So when I got home I took that one off and put on another. Well that one had a fiber in it too. The third one worked ok but I was disappointed I had to use 3 of them to get it right because they came with fibers in them.

I highly doubt they had fibers in them straight from the box ... this is why everyone recommends doing the install in the bathroom after you have steamed it up with the shower to knock the dust out of the air.

Please don't throw away the screen protector just because of a piece of fiber/lint underneath of it. Just juse a piece of tape and stick it to the outer side of the screen protector to "peel" that part up, and then use another piece of tape to "pull" that lint out.
I still like the Verizon "clear" screen protector.

Well considering the clerk did one at the Verizon store and a fiber was on it and I did one at my house on my dinning room table and had one. I can only guess they were there from the factory. Same white fiber on both. And both times the phone was wiped down with a clothe and then used canned air to blow it off. Nothing was on the screen before I tried to put the protector off.

I tried using tape but no go and at one point I managed to scratch the protector with my nail trying to pick it off.

The phone can be spotless -- its the dust in the air that ends up sticking to the protector before you get it seated on the glass

I have always used Boxwave for my previous phones. I just installed the Boxwave for GN, and I must say I am disappointed. Reaches further to the edges than the Verizon clear, but as stated above, the edges do not stick. It has only been one day, but it doesn't seem like they are going to magically stick in a few days. We shall see.

I'm reading on amazon that this one covers the FFC...does this make any noticeable difference?

The guy who makes Diztronic TPU cases sends a screen protector with his cases. They are great! Cover edge to edge in all directions. Better than verizon ones but still susceptable to fingerprints and grease, not oleo-phobic.
also.. at the edges, since the glass is curved down, it doesn't contact. not a big deal for me. i have a case.

Yeah Verizon NON-matte ones are best. I removed dust with the tape trick. These are static cling so u can pull it off and clean it up and stick it. Once its on its on there good. I can only tell around the ffc that there is a protector. The gel case I got covers the gaps perfectly if u align the screen protector on right. All accessories free with my Microsoft discount and these are the best accessories imo

No, not at all. (unless you have oil on the screen protector, but then you can just wipe it)

The standard crystal screen protectors that are all over ebay for around 8 for $3.50

Had a boxwave the edges did not stick as others have said replaced with sgp oleophobic it is better

Well I decided to get the newest Diztronic TPU rev 3 case and it's pretty nice but the screen protector that came with it is complete dog****. Attracts a TON of lint, had lots of bubbles under the screen despite putting it on quickly in a steamy room, doesn't contact the screen at the top OR the bottom and leaves smudges all over it. Worst screen protector ever.

I tried this out and LOVE it (as well as the price). It's strong, goes on clear, and edge to edge without bubbling. Definitely worth trying out for the cost.

Verizon "Clear" Screen Protector

Save yourself money and time by going to a nearby Verizon store and get a pack of 3 "clear" screen protectors for $13 (even cheaper if you have corporate discount). They are PERFECT!!! I can't even see the screen protector, especially when the edges are covered by the Silicone case, both while the screen is ON and OFF!!! The first time I didn't know and they gave me the "anti-glare" one, man...those really kill the sharpness of the screen with the grainy look. You can even see them while the screen is OFF. So I riped that perfectly-installed protector off and thought I would never want to use ANY screen protectors again for this beatiful screen. But then I see in one thread of someone saying that there are two types of Verizon screen protectors, "clear" and "anti-glare", and the clear one is pretty good. I stopped by the store after work today and grabed a pack that includes 3 protectors (for trial-and-error ). After 5 minutes, both mine and my wife's Galaxy Nexus looks flawless with the screen protectors on. Man I love this thing, it's completely invisible and not affecting the screen resolution or sensitivity at all. Just my quick review as the result of the excitement .
And PLEASE....search for the "tape trick" on youtube show you how to lift the installed screen protector up and get the last piece of lint/dust out without using your nails or messing up the whole installation.
Goodluck
P.S. yes, the Silicone case does fit Galaxy Nexus with extended battery.
Does it completely cover screen in a perfect fit I had the anti glare and it was still off in size just a little bit
Yeah....it's like a millimeter or two from reaching the outer edge/rim. But I use Verizon's silicone case, so it wraps around and cover the transition good.
It covers the entire display portion of the face but does not cover the entire glass
Fail post op. Go get three on ebay for $3. I lmfao

I can already see that they don't look identical. The Verizon version circle/flush around the earpiece speaker nicely, whereas the eBay version only encircle bottom and sides of the earpiece speaker. The Verizon version covers the glass almost completely, almost.....it only like 1-2mm from reaching the edge of the glass. I see many other screen protectors where they only protect the main portion/center of screen and not covering the remaining of the glass just below the Home/Back/Talk buttons.
I think the VZW screenies are fine. I don't like the rubber feel of the expensive one. I'm sure there more durable but the verizon one are nice and clear. Not bad

i also just grabbed them in the store. also very surprised by the quality and extremely satisfied
While I like the material of the VZW screen protector, I'm not a fan of how it fits. It looks too small, as there's about a 1mm gap between the edge of the screen protector and the edge of the screen itself.

You have to watch though. If you aren't using a case, I think you can go with other brands that cover the entire screen. If you are running a case plus the entire screen protector, sometimes the case contacts the screen on the sides and creates bubbling. I've had it happen to a few of my phones. I'm using the verizon silicone case and their SP and no bubbling because of the gap..
I was suckered into the Verizon Screen protectors. They DO NOT reach edge to edge. They just cover the lighted portion of the screen. I never even applied one. I pulled it out and said, "Awww".
Anyone wants them, PM me. I'll sell them 50% off = $6 shipped. 3 in a pack / $6 = $2 a piece.

just go back and return them I went ahead and did that with the anti glare ones yesterday shouldn't be an issue
i like the vzw clear - as someone else said only millimeters from the edges.
I initially tried the antiglare ones but they made the screen horrible to look at.
Do these provide any real protection? Or just from light scratches? Obviously they won't be as safe as gorilla glass or similar products, but I don't throw my phone around, so I don't need anything super protective.
The ones I bought from Verizon have about 3mm of space from edge of the phone. They aren't clear, more like a matte finish. Weird. But I hate to have a naked screen so I bought them anyways. I have a zagg, some ebay screens, and an xtreme guard screen in the mail.
i really like the VZW clear protectors... i measured less than 2mm gap all around, and you wont find an edge to edge dry protector because of the curvature of the screen at the edges.
I bought the Incipio 2 piece case and the Verizon screen protector. I really like the Incipio case over the Otterbox Commuter. I had the Commuter on my Fascinate and the plastic was slippery. The coating on the plastic on the Incipio reminds me of the rubber coating on Seidio cases.
The Verizon screen protector is okay. It is clearer then the SGP Ultra Crystal and my fingers glide over it pretty easily. However, I've already gotten couple scratches on it. I plan on getting the XO SKINS.

Looking for a Screen Protector

I'm trying to buy a screen protector preferably with a matte finish. I like the fact that its a smooth finish allowing for easy gliding with your fingers. I also looked up crystal clear ones but I do not know how they feel to the touch. Also I'm trying to look for ones with good cutouts (NOT like this: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Anti-G...8-6&keywords=galaxy+s3+screen+protector+matte). Can anyone give me some input or links on amazon?
Have you looked into the Spigen SGP Flex HD screen protectors?
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...3-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html
It's wet application, so I don't know how comfortable you feel about installing them.

Do your fingers glide across it easily or does it kinda stick? I've put invisible shields on my phones before and I hate that its sticky (even when I first applied it) and the orange peel/yellowing effect
From what I know, the Flex HD is pretty smooth to the touch and you won't have to worry about any orange peel/yellowing effect because it's a high quality product.

not sure about the matte finish or the glide for you, but i can tell you i've had 3 screen protectors on my galaxy s3.
first there was the ZAGG. expensive, full body, etc. the screen protector was decent enough, very plyable and stretchy. uses that press and peel install method. cutouts for the phone suck though. they are cut-downs, not cut outs. more area is exposed than needed. i never did like the feel of it either once it was on. that and the store guy goofed the install, so...tore that off.
then there was the protector that came with Incipio case i bought. way different material. stiff and rigid, a harder plastic feel than the soft plyable ZAGG. i think this is that "crystal" type protector. but the cutouts were worse on this than the ZAGG. even more area exposed because of big cut downs on the top and bottom (lots of area exposed up top basically stretching end to end) i did install it though, and i liked the feel and glide more than the ZAGG. it seems more "slippery". unfortunately the top two corners never took (they are awfully pointy due to the big exposure up top). they seemed to be bent up in the packaging. and so that screen protector also came off (i do like the incipio case though).
now i'm onto the Skinomi. came with a skin. the cut outs are actual cut outs. no cut downs, no extra exposure. install was a little harder due to alignment, i swear i think they cut it small. i did get everything to line up eventually though. old school install with the spray bottle. material of the Skinomi is probably more ZAGG than Incipio-like, but it's not quite as plyable as the ZAGG. I do actually like the feel on my finger with the Skinomi. It's not the same feel as the Incipio though, it has a little more "sticky" to it than the hard protector did. pretty pleased with it tho, and it's working thus far.... :good:
anyway, if that helps, cool. if not, thanks for the vent.
Moshi is nice and anti glare... It does cover edge to edge but the blue trim covers up the blue pebble finish. I have the sgp nano optics on the way...

I picked up the Flex HD and installation went smooth. Only thing I didn't like was the spray bottle included which sucked. After installation, the screen is smooth as silk, very little "tug" or any of that yellowing effect. Best part is, it comes with 2:good:

Anyone plan to sell their second piece of their flex hd? =)
I saw in a review video from a guy who posted it on this forums said it had a rubber feel to it. I'm a swype user and I hate when my finger gets stuck because of that rubber feeling. When I felt matte for the first time, it glided so easily that I would never have problems swyping.

I was never a fan of Zagg products, until I had the HD screen protector installed on my S3. Perfectly clear, and its 100x smoother than regular Invisishield products. Id recommend it to anyone.
so I've had a chance to try a few different screen protectors already and I've found that the edge of the S3 display has a slight curve making it difficult for screen protectors to stay down.
the edges on 3 different sp's have done this. I've tried a full screen and then a few that were smaller than the display and still have issues.
The issue is that thick screen protectors just lift up off the curved display over time..
It sounds like wet SP installs are going good though?

I snagged the Incipio Sicrylic (sp?) off ebay. It's the soft rubber case with the two pieces. A snug rubber piece, and an outer "shell" that snaps onto the rubber case. Works really well actually. My daily case at the moment (better than the vent samsung with coin holder, and a straight skin from skinomi - i have the carbon skin)
I could post a link, but I'm a newb and so that's not allowed. I'll try to take a picture or sometghing and update this or my earlier post. Spent all this money on acc's...might as well share with folks so they don't have to repeat my mistakes....
and to the other poster who mentioned wet installs going well - i'll have to agree. vs the peel install on zagg, and the rgular install on the incipio crystal, i've ben happiest with my work and the protector after the wet install on the skinomi.

I am on my second flex hd and I am taking it off. It's been a week and the "rainbow-like" specks or clouds are appearing. It could be the adhesive that's turning into like colorful sandy appearance. Kinda annoying.
I ordered the Spectre but I am not gonna see it any sooner.
I've used dry application protectors on my other phones but its not going to work with the curved glass of GS3. Good luck.

Best wet applied screen protector (case fit)?

I have been wanting to get a Zagg HD protector but it appears they only make a full screen coverage version which won't work with most TPU cases. I don't want to give up my Diztronic case so I'm looking for a similar wet application screen protector that will work. Ideally, I'd like it to have very minimal orange peal like the Zagg HD one does.
Any recommendations?

+1 I also have a diztronic case which I like because it keeps the slimness, but at the same time I'd like for the full screen protector to not have its edges lifted (looking at you zagg HD)
I have the ZAGG HD and love it.
i got one for free from bestbuy and they installed it as well (came with my phone) - i let it sit for 2 days and when i put my "PT" case on it came off =(
the PT case is two pieces top and bottom, it covers up the entire back and the front bezel.
bestbuy replaced the screen protector and i wanted 2 days again, this time however, when i put the case on i pressed DOWN on the phone while sliding it in the case - to put preasure on the bottom/back of the case and less preassure on the screen.
nnot sure if i explained that correctly, but now i am able to take the case on/off at will without getting in the way of the ZAGG HD
it takes a little longer, but works perfectly

I just got the Best Skins Ever "Version 2", which has reduced orange peel and a better feel. It's about $6, and is probably the best skin I've ever used, normally I hate them all. The holes are individually cut out, no U-channels like the Zagg HD. Feels like glass, nice and slick from day 1.
I have an Armorsuit Military Shield and have never had any problems with it.
Based on your description you appear to be looking for something along the lines of Zagg's "case friendly" screen protector for the IPhone. My solution? Simply shaving the sides and top/bottom of a full sized protector. A scissor is largely ineffective because of the difficultly in cutting straight. I solved this by using an old fashioned paper trimmer. Requires a very sharp blade. Can also be accomplished with a straight edge like a ruler and a very sharp razor blade. Cut to size and apply. The "edge" is virtually impossible to see. If cut properly, it actually goes right to the edge of the case itself. I practiced bit on a few excess pieces I had.

What does this mean? Is it wet application? Does it work with a TPU case like the Diztronic case? I'm sorry but this isn't really helpful.

Thanks for getting back on track. This may be the way I go with it. At least until Zagg comes out with a case fit version of their HD protector for this phone. I'm tempted to just try one with the Diztronic case and let it fully dry for a few days at home before carefully trying to get the case on. But I highly doubt that is going to work.
I noticed Zagg has a "Case Friendly Screen Coverage" for the S3 for $14.99:

Not entirely clear if it's wet or dry.
I have the skinomi tech and it is fantastic! Screen is very clear no bluriness and it fits edge to edge! Very easy to apply! I highly recommend it! :thumbup:

Nice find. Looks like it's the non HD version though, which means more orange peel. Hopefully they will come out with the HD version soon.

Perfect! I had this on my Galaxy Nexus and it was the best protector I found. I'm glad they finally released it for the S III.
Thanks guys!
Just checked their website, looks pretty good. I'd definitely refer my friends to it.

What screen protectors can be put on with spray?

I like to use the spigen clear glass screens but they are very hard to get on perfectly.
Can you use spray with these or can anyone recommend another brand?
Check out gadgetshieldz.
I had a best skins ever one on my nexus 4 after trying 5-6 others and it was by far the best. Had 2 for my nexus 5 show up today so will fit and post what I think shortly if you're interested I bought the spg ones for my nexus 5 but wasted 2 with tiny specs of dust. Has be perfect for me or it'll be ripped off!

Dude I bought two packages and went through all 6 with my ocd. Besides little specs of dust it's also hard to put on perfectly lining up with the speaker and stuff. I got it close and it would probably be perfect to many but still pisses me off.
Anyway post your thoughts about this new one when you can.
you can use a spray with any of the rubbery ones, the hard plastic/matte ones do not use liquid afaik

Can you use spray with these or can anyone recommend another brand?

I've got the Skinomi TechSkin, and I'm happy with it. It uses spray for the application, so it's easy to get perfectly aligned and dust-free. I used on my gnex as well, and it held up well over time... for me atleast.

Does this screen have am orange peel look to it or rubbery feel?
Also does it come with a solution to spray? If not what did you use?
I am the worlds worst at putting on screen protectors. The best thing I found for putting them on is turning on your shower full blast hot and waiting till the room gets really steamy. That's how I put on my spigen (dry install) and it turned out perfect. I've also used xo skins (wet install) on my old gnex and had good luck with them.

Minus the Spigen bubble issue, I've applied all my glass protectors with left over solution from Zagg. After a day or so the liquid goes away. It doesn't hurt it IMHO. I'm pretty OCD about my screen protectors.
If you decide to go with a different type I'd suggest one of the plasticy ones just because you can remove dust easily using a piece of scotch tape. iSmooth gives you scotch tape like dust removers. Most of the people in my office come to me to apply screen protectors...lol
When I say plasticy ones I'm referring to anything that is rigid. The problem with Skinomi and Zagg like protectors is the scotch tape method doesn't work and they are much harder to get aligned. the upside to them is that they don't scratch like the rigid ones.
I think I am the only one that uses the wet method to install dry screen protectors. I used the wet method to install the spigen dry protectors, since they are the "static cling" type and not adhesive as with many other dry protectors. I normally install them in a steamed bathroom, and if i get any lint stuck on the screen i take it off them phone and rinse it under water then try again.
I didn't order the spigen glass protector due to people having bubble problems, but when the new revised version is out i'll buy it and also try installing it wet.

The Skinomi protector came with spray, microfiber cloth, and a rubber wedge for squeegeeing out the excess spray solution and air bubbles
It does have an orange peel effect, but I can really only tell when the screen is off and/or outside light hits the screen at a perfect angle. My personal opinion is that its effect on screen quality is negligible
It does have a more rubbery feel than a bare screen, however that's because it should "self-heal" from light scratches/abrasions
Should you go the spray route for the first time, definitely look up some how-to-apply videos. I want to add that the protector on my g-nex lasted the entire lifetime of the phone (~2 yrs) without a problem, which hasn't been my experience with most traditional protectors. That's the main reason I put it on my N5

Found a great film protector

Not many post on XDA but I promise you I do not work for this company lol. I've been searching forever for a good screen protector and glass is off the table. Whitestone is too expensive and I know I'd mess it up! I've gone through several brands of films on Amazon that have good/moderate reviews but they have all had poor coverage or just didn't stick down on the edges, and I consider myself a pro at installing films. Found a new one that claimed it used new technology to create a tpu type film and took a gamble on it as there where no reviews/ratings. I am pleased to announce that with proper care putting it on its flawless, adheres 100% to the sides and is almost unnoticeable by touch or look. (Except for that it's film and not glass) I will note however that be careful installing as the adhesive is very strong, and getting dust out after installing is near if not impossible. I'll post pics tomorrow of the product and a pic of my phone with it installed!

Honestly I just got tired of looking for screen protectors. I made this account on XDA forever ago and decided that since I'd finally found one I'd just like to share my experience to maybe save some others frustration. I always lurk around here, have since the Moto a855 days, just never get on and post.
If someone does decide to try one of these protectors and chimes in that'd be great as I know my low post count doesn't make me look very believable lol
ha. yeah, I suspected some time ago, that an employee or more were making accounts promoting their asian battery, with low post counts.

Don't know about this one, but I just received a similar TPU-type screen protector. Haven't installed it yet, will reply back after I have.

Well, can't tell you that as I screwed up the install and had to trash it [emoji17]. Couldn't get the bubbles out of it. Very likely my ineptness - been a while since I used anything besides tempered glass.

Sorry man, had high hopes for it based on the case problems with tempered glass I've been reading about. Anyway, just ordered a tempered glass one [emoji9] that purports to be "case friendly". We'll see.

I got mine on without bubbles, but I learned very quickly the adhesive is extremely strong on these screen protectors and getting tiny bubbles out is very hard. You have to choose a large one and push it around through all the smaller ones. As far case usage goes, they fit snug and the only case I own is a OtterBox Symmetry which I have no problems with.
In the description and picture it states these have a 9H rating, and while I've had mine on since Friday without any scratches I have to call BS on that claim. They are a tpu film, feel like film, definitely don't feel like glass but are 100% crystal clear. They seems fairly durable compared to some other PET films I've used, and they are much thicker/heavy duty. (Can't tell once applied however)
Orange peel? Or completely flat like PET

No orange peel at all. 100% smooth like PET. I can't stand wet apply protectors because of the orange peel/clarity so I've never used them. Always stuck to cheap PET and this is very similar.
Like I said though, I can't stress enough to be careful putting it on as it has a very strong adhesive. It is still easy to take off and leaves no residue, but getting dust/dirt/hair out after is impossible. It's not like normal PET that uses static.
I did get a short piece of hair on mine when installing, which I'd normally remove or put on a new film after, but with the adhesive and TPU this seems to have just molded around it and it's almost not noticable. Leaves no air as the protector won't push back up. I'm very OCD with my protectors.
EDIT: Also, another note is that where this is a hard TPU film I have noticed it resist scratches very well but will indent like the wet apply protectors when force is applied such as with a finger nail. It does seem to recover after awhile. Funny how it's a TPU that feels like film. Also, 4 days now and no signs of peeling/no scratches. My phone is in and out of my pants pocket all day long.

Use a piece of scotch tape to remove any dust the gets behind it. Just peel up your screen protector then use the tape (sticky side to screen protector sticky side) to pull any dust or hair off the inside.

I tried that. Tape stuck to the adhesive on the film and when pulling off left a mark where the tape was on it. Like I said, the screen protector has a strong adhesive and doesn't use static. Usually only static pet protectors can have dust removed with tape. In this case, the adhesive on the film is stronger than tape.
How's it holding up a week later?
great screen protector
thanks OP for recommending this
I installed mine a bit over a week ago and have to say fairly impressed with it. It is stronger than your normal PET protectors (doesn't get micro scratches easily) and has very strong adhesive as the OP mentioned (great for the edges).
I did buy the case friendly version though instead of the full screen one

As far as install is concerned - If you have a rubber squeegee (had one from the armorsuite products) it will help greatly. Combine that with the hinge method and you will get a really good install.
Cons
You have to be pretty damn exact for the borders. There is really no room for error.
Not glass but I am definitely happy with it.
I bought a wet install film screen protector and I am loving it... No touch sensitivity issues, easy to install, and self heals scratches... I have used it on on a few past phones as well as smartwatches and have never had any issues with them.

It’s Supershieldz for me.
Got these today. Chuck is right, they are somewhat a pain to install but the result is great. Recommend.
Does the material of the Jolojo feel rubbery like other films do or is it smoother with less friction?
