Hey guys,
previously I saw people post a thread about the A.R.M screen protectors.
I went to their site at armstation.com to see if I could purchase one and it seemed that they havent really started their internet sales yet.
So I emailed them asking about it, and they said to leave them an address and they will ship 2 pieces for me to try out.
AND HERE THEY ARE!!!
arrived today, which is approx 2 weeks after my emails, so kinda slow, but alright.
Now, ONE THING. THE PACKING ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKS SPLENDID!!!
but....when you open it, there really isnt anything, just one little screen protector.
I gotta hand it to them though, the packiging must have been worth more than the screen protector it self.
Usage:
I haven't really gotten to put these on yet cause I just recently sent my phone in for repairs. But from the way they feel, compared to the XO Skins which I have handy. They simply do not match the craftsmanship of the XOs.
ALSO, compared to other crystal screen protectors, this one, had only one layer to take off, which really troubles me, but I guess this is one way to lower the budget.
(EDDITTTTT: There is a second layer to take off. But according to dothedyu (Thanks), you have to take it off with tape @@)
Anyways, if this thing sells for less than $5 bucks, I'd say it's worth it, but if it goes beyond 10, ehhhhhh....
This is really a brief review as I really couldnt test anything else out. Anyone who ordered these and have put them on feel free to share ur opinions.
Dont know whether they still offer samples, but you can always try.
Nough said, this really just widens our selection of screen protectors, but really, i ll stick to my XO.

Actually, there's a second layer to take off that doesn't have a tab so after you take off the first layer and put it on the phone. It'll still look hazy. So use a small piece of tape on the corner and peel back and the top layer will come off revealing a clear, thin skin. It actually looks really nice!
what I want to know is how resistant to smudges and oil is it??

No orange peel. Dry applications don't have em. Does has streaky rainbow effect at angles though.

Has terrible rainbow effect and is way too thin. I can't really complain for free, but I'd be pretty bummed if I had paid a decent amount of money for them. The generic crystal protectors from VZW are better quality IMO. Only real advantage to these is the edge to edge coverage.

Thanks just got one! hopefully it'll be better than the invisibleshield

I dunno, the Zagg I had on my G1 had much more of a rubbery feel than this one. Doesn't affect the color or clarity noticeably either.

I tried Clearfreak on my Vibrant and had to take it off after two days. Just too much change from that perfect Samsung screen. It degraded both the look and feel.
Tried Realook based on recommendations on this board, and it is by far the closest to naked I have even come across. The thing really is that amazing.
Being a nOOb I can't use links, but a quick scan of the Vibrant Accessories forum will give you pictures and ordering info. $10.99 for two includes shipping.
FWIW highly recommended.
Enjoy!

I might buy one of these. I want to protect my screen, but I do prefer the screen naked, but for $4, it won't be too much of a loss if I don't like them. Might as well bite.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I just bought two of them, I hope they turn out ok! If not then I might end picking up a reallook one. I hope everything turns out ok though.
Anyone know how the ClearFreaks compare to the Realooks? After further testing of the Realook it takes some sensitivity away from the capacitative buttons but not the display its self.
I had Clearfreak on my first Vibrant. Had to send it back in for having defective home button. As replacement screen protector I decided to try Realook.
They are completely different products. Clearfreak is much more along the lines of Zagg and Phantoms. That slightly rubbery feel never goes away.
Realook is dry application, easier to finess and de-bubble. Best of all its the closest feel to factory glass you'll get.
Finger-print wise, Realook also wins hands down. I did notice a very slight decrease in button sensitivity, but not noticeable enough to make it an issue.
One tip for super-clean install is to use clean room environment at home. I used to do that when I had to swap hard drive parts. Run a hot shower for 15 min, keep the door closed. Let it build up steam, that will clear the air of most dust and lint particles. Turn off water, and let the room clear out for 10 or so min, don't bring in your electronic equipment in until you are ready to work. And keep in mind that most surfaces will be damp. That will pretty much get you cleanest environment outside of real labs.
I'm using clearfreak right now but I picked up some realook since everyone has been raving about them. I haven't put them on yet will probably do so in the next day or so. According to their instructions you should use a spray bottle and spray air then wait 4 to 5 mins.
I put my clearfreak on this morning and so far im not digging it. I thought it wasn't supposed to feel rubbery but it does. Although it doesn't stop swype from working, its not near as slick as I had hoped. Not only that, but the damn thing matches the size of the vibrant so closely you have to align it perfectly not to overlap the edge of the screen.
Based on what I've seen online, i'll probably just end up removing it once I can't tolerate it any more and leave the screen naked.

now that it settled in i will let it be for the week, got a near flawless installation but one small speck under my back key some how got under the protector. This might cause me to rip it off as is but i will give it a good work out this week to see if it feels any different. This is much better than Tmobiles screen protector however i feel it still messes a bit with the clarity of the screen.
Hey
Id like to get a invisibleSHIELD (Full body) because I like to carry my phone in my pocket and with a case/cover/etc that is not possible sadly. Ive heard ALOT about invisibleSHIELD but they are all mixed. I dont mind much (I think) that "orange peel feel" alot of people have been saying but the important part is does it actually protect the phone. I know that it wont be protected if it falls and such but at least if it is in my pocket it wont get stratched, dirty, etc.
Some hands on experiences would be nice. The terminal Im going to put this on is a HTC Desire Z.
It's a good protection for your phone for a fair price.
But it takes some time to place it without any bubble or dirt.
(Tipp: If you have some dirt making a bubble take a sticky tape to remove it.)
And yes, the feeling of holding the device a a complete different. But you will only recognize it the first day's ...
I have it on my business phone and i'm happy with it.
On my next phone i will buy it again.
I used to keep my phone in my pocket and little scratches would appear all over it. I installed the Invis Shield on it and I couldnt be happier with the results. But as above poster said take your time putting it on and be somewhat generous with the application liquid they give you in the box. Good Luck

Thats something else I also heard: Instalation can be tricky if not done with with that solution they include. Might have to view some YouTube videos for that.
Thanks.
Used the solution they give you to install it. Also let it sit for a good amount of time before you use it, and put it under some source of heat for awhile. Like a lamp or blow it with a hairdryer for a few minutes.
Also check for their discount codes on facebook or twitter. You can get 10-40% off.
Some places will install it on your phone for you. I went to one in a Mall and the people there install them all day on people's devices and do a great job at it. $5-$10 for the installation, but worth it.

Ive also been commented that Best Skins Ever is better. Any comments on that?
i had it on vivaz hd, it's a very good protection but the phone won't look as bright as it would be without protection
If it has any chrome painted parts dont be suprised if the invisishield pulls off the paint.
i've had mine on for 6months (screen guard) good, lasted longer than other protectors, but their scratch-proof thing is a gimmick. Mines been through for abt 6months and there are loads of minor screen scrathes on it which you can see under the sun. im looking to replace it, i guess :/

There is a difference between gimmicks like Screen Guard and invisibleSHIELD and Best Skins Ever. That Ive realized.
My problem is that if the Best Skins Ever is as good as the invisibleSHIELD at the low price it is selling...
i have a invisishield on my wildfire. whilst it seems ok, some kind of black stuff (fluff?) formed on the bottom of the sides and caused them to loose their stickiness. the bottom panels are going the same way. you would be better off getting a silicone case

I agree, and the thing about them replacing it for free is nonsense (you have to pay p&p which is going to be a lot to the uk)
I will NEVER buy one of these protectors again, I hate the feel and they do scratch easily regardless of what they say. I have minor surface scratches all over the surface and its only been on for 3 weeks. You always are wiping them off to get rid of all the fingerprints, they are worthless in my opinion.

I agree, Invisibleshield aka Zagg products stink. They are very over priced and do not provide full protection for your phone. I stopped using them after they skimped out on my Tilt 2. I would go with bodyguardz which is a little better and they give you 2 kits (instead of 1 with Zagg).

I have an invisibleShield on my Droid Incredible and my Galaxy Tab. I love it. I ordered another one for another Tab I purchased (not an invisibleShield) and I'm going to compare the difference. The shield makes everything look a little darker and richer IMO. It offers really good protection. You can see fingerprints and minor scratches when the device is off, but when you turn the device on, it's crystal clear. I think it's a great product and worth the money. I paid to have it installed on my Tab at Best Buy, what a waste of money. It was easy to put on my phone and I did it without any bubbles whatsoever.
I had invisibleshield and best skins ever on my BBs, EVO, and others.
They're both about the same. The BSE are cheaper, but they save a lot on packaging and extras.
I got away from them because of the orange peel effect.
They do protect though. I did have a problem with my BB curve protectors eventually peeling away at the corners from taking it in and out of my pockets so much.
I can take a knife to my screen, yes I have done it but dont recommend it, all it did was leave lines in the oily residue which always coats my phone. It wiped off without a trace. The corners are starting to peel again after six months of abuse. But thats whats great about their warrantee

So when I bought my captivate I bought the ATT screen protector and it was very nice.
If I were to leave a mark due to hitting with my nail on the screen, the mark will slowly disappear back to normal. It was also full size all the way to the home button etc.
After many months I decided to replace it as it was coming off on the sides but the quality was still great.
Well, first red flag was that the new version is no longer full size. Only covers to the lower part of the actual display area but I was assured that it was the same material...
Yeah, same material my A$$! That thing sucks...it became a mess of horrible screen patterns like I was looking at some Nasa Mars photos or something.
I took it back and the bastards wanted to charge me $5 bucks to replace it again!
I express my deepest feeling in some not very forum appropiate wording and left.
Bought an invisi shield even though opinions are mixed about it and so far I love it.
Screen looks perfect with non of the horrible patterns I was getting with the ATT ****.
Just a warning.

Yeah, I'm using a invisishield
Had one since day one of phone purchase. No complaints.

If you can find the original one (full lenght) you should be fine but if it is the small one run away from it. I couldnt take that more than a week.
The invisi-sheild is pretty good I had one and loved it, but I just replaced it with the ATT screen shield last week and mine comes all the way down and covers my buttons and is actually a pretty decent protector. Maybe they were out of stock and gave you one that 'works' for your phone. The rep did bring me the wrong one initially....
That's not good. I HATED my InisiSheild. The ATT screen protector was the only screen protector I've been able to stand.
Good thing I have two spares...

Agree on the Zagg. It was absolutely terrible, but it was free, so I can't really complain. Anyway, I gave up on screen protectors altogether.
Screen protector? What's that? Lol. Seriously, I've never used one and I've dropped my phone face down on both gravel and pavement. My screen still looks brand new. I think screen protectors on these phones are just a waste of money, and I hate the idea of having another layer to distort the image.

The old AT&T screen protectors are the best compromise I've found between the crystal clarity of running naked, and having at least some protection.

I don't know how you people keep saying after months of screen protectorless use, your phone looks brand new.
I went protectorless for a couple months, and after that short a period of time I picked up a few noticeable scratches. They aren't deep enough to be seen in use, but they are there.
I'll keep my screen protectors. Can't really tell the difference anyway.
You agree with a post that is stating the opposite of what you are saying? That is cool LOL
If you want the original At&t protectors, search for the brand Real Look. One of my packs from At&t had the Real Look branding on the stuff inside the pack. I also suggested Real Look to a buddy with an iPhone 4, and when he got his, it's the same great material.
I will never use another brand of screen protector as long as Real Look makes one for my phone.

These are the Real Look screen protectors. I find that the rainbow effect disappears when the screen is on, so that is really not an issue. Also, I don't really think the cutout for the proximity sensor is that bad, it's a really small area that is barely noticeable, and I'm sure probably is there for a reason.
To me, the Real Look screen protectors have an unbeatable finish for keeping clean, smooth, and even scratch free. If you like the natural feel of gorilla glass, give them a shot, because these really do feel like the gorilla glass when they are clean. IMHO, they have the best scratch resistance of any crystal screen protector that I have ever used on any device. In the past I used matte screen protectors because I always hated scratches in glossy ones, but these have solved that problem.
I'm not trying to flame, I just think it's a bit unfair to be that nitpicky about a great product. Did you notice any of the positive qualities of these?
I dont know what brand it is but i use the screen protector that came with my otterbox. didnt use on on my first captivate, could definitely see some marks on screen, no problems with one in place.
I have also used Realook brand protectors. I thought they worked really well. The only reason you could tell I was using one was the horrible job I did installing it. They say they are washable and reusable, but after trading in my phone for a warranty issue I decided not to even try to reuse it. I just ordered a new one. $10 for 2 of em. I almost wasn't going to use one and I read a post from someone who says that he can see a bunch of microscopic scratches on the glass from keeping it in his pocket. The way I see it, I would rather cover it and not take any chances.
Go to best buy they have a military grade polyurethane they wrap around your phone it is the best screen protector phone protector ever

After watching that video I had to support the company that made it cause it's a pretty clever system they've come up with. I don't even care for dry install protectors but I had to try it. The fact that not only do you get 2 screen protectors with each order, you get the mold or jig specific to your device which ensures a properly installed protector every time.
I ordered mine off eBay from a seller named icapsale-istt. The product ships from S.Korea...I bought mine on the 9th, late in the evening, it arrived today. Pretty damn fast shipping if you ask me, especially since they estimated it wouldn't get to me until between 6.26.12 - 7.10.12. Obviously I can't do a product review since I don't have my device yet but rest assured I will once I get it installed.
**Update 6.30.12**
Alright fellas, got it on...installation was as straight forward as the video shows except you do have to get some bubbles out. So before you take off the top layer make sure you use the squeegee to get them all out. Unfortunately I got a spec of dust right smack dab in the middle of my screen but it's not noticeable unless the screen is off so for now it stays. First thing I noticed was the rainbow effect on the protector when the screen is off...when it's on I don't see any abnormalities. The screen feels the same as if it were naked. It doesn't cover the whole screen for obvious reasons (beveled edge around the screen) but during normal useage you don't even realize it. No banding, no rainbow effect, very clear, doesn't seem to effect the display negatively at all. Touch sensitivity is no different than without the protector on. The only thing about this is the price, it's pricey. That being said, it's not head and shoulders better than any other dry install protector i've ever used so hard to justify the price unless you're a noob and that concerned with installing one that the included jig will make you rest that much better...or if you're like me and just wanted to support the company who came out with such a setup for their ingenuity.
Overall, it's a nice protector that will ensure proper placement everytime...if only it could prevent dust as well But the price will turn most off, especially for this type of protector considering most of this type are about a quarter of the price or less. There is no rubbery feel on the display and it looks just as beautiful as it did when it was naked. I give this product an 8/10 only because of the price, would have been a 9 otherwise.
If I was not getting a otterbox defender I would get this. I hate putting screen protectors on wrong and this makes it so you can't.
yeah let us know how well they work. I am interested in seeing some close up shots of it installed as well.
I just purchased one as well!
I'm currently in S.korea and the SS3 isn't even out here yet, I wonder if I can get these here.
It's probably a lot cheaper here (just look at the prices of SGP in Korea compared to the rest of the world).
And does the screen protector cover the whole glass area?

How did it go?
Just got this in yesterday. Took off my XtremeGuard, and these screen protectors are pretty crystal clear and nice.
One problem is their cut. Unless if you have a case, they do not cover the whole phone but for good reason. The phone is a bit curved near the ends so if the hard plastic stretched all the way out it would float and not stick at all.
These are also reusable. To reinstall or reapply I suggest getting a lint remover, peeling off one of the tapes and just sticking your screen protector on it. This way it will remove any dust and you can reapply it.
It also feels great, if you have sweaty or oily hands, this screen protector will accommodate you. Application was easy, I just had a difficult time due to my dogs shedding in the summer heat... they are leaving a lot of hair around.
Summary: I would recommend it. Shipping takes forever though, like 2 to 3 weeks.
I can't find them on ebay. Can you guys post a link?

It also feels great, if you have sweaty or oily hands, this screen protector will accommodate you. Application was easy, I just had a difficult time due to my dogs shedding in the summer heat... they are leaving a lot of hair around.
Summary: I would recommend it. Shipping takes forever though, like 2 to 3 weeks.

how do the protectors feel on the phone? Does it feel like there's even a protector there? or is it just a smooth feeling?

Thanks given :good: Nah man, it feels good. When I first installed an XtremeGuard, as much as I like that protector, it was noticeably tackier than the naked screen. This protectors feels as if it is the naked screen. As for the rainbow thing, yep, exactly as you just said. but turn the phone on and look for the rainbows or any other display defect and you're gonna be hard pressed.

Well then im sold I was a bit nervous about ordering a protector off of ebay, but this review helps a lot. And as far as the rainbow thing, doesn't bother me if its only when the screen is off (not like there's anything to see when its off) haha

Well glad I can help you out a bit. I feel the same....although I was very worried when I seen the rainbow effect before I turned the screen on. I have 3 XtremeGuards in hand but i'm not putting them on unless this one needs to be replaced for some reason.

Thats a smart decision. Im gonna order the SGP nano protector just in case the tribo doesn't workout for some reason.
only thing im worried about is if the edges will lift up due to the screen being curved
Just saw these online. Was wondering anyone has used or is using one of these.
Any reviews?
Thanks!

They look pretty sweet.....
Just wondering how it looks on a screen and is it too thick or ruin the view of the screen.....
Think I am going to order one, but wanted to see if anyone else already had one.
I wonder if it has a glass feel or a sticky rubber feel. Someone who has it please do tell

That being said, I would be willing to help some people out if they wanted to order.
Just found North American website

The shock absorb demonstration video had me in tears, god that is awesome and hilarious at the same time LOL
Wish I could see one on the galaxy s3.
Seems interesting. Is this whole body protection or just the screen? 30 bucks for just the screen seems a bit much. For that price I'd be more likely to get a glass screen protector.

It is only for the screen.
It is about 20 bucks here, and I live in Korea so I am getting free shipping
I ordered one yesterday, so should get here on Monday. Ill post some picks. No videos though, I could never even think about doing that to my phone!
Well, finally got er on.
Pros
-protects the screen very well
-covers most of the screen, leaving only the speak and above, and the camera hole not covered. (and the button I suppose).
-feels smooth
Cons
-gets marked up very easily (just using the applicator left marks on it.....the plastic thingy)
-feels kind of rubbery to the touch (although it is smooth).
-still has a bit of a rainbow effect......a bunch of little rainbow pixels that I have been trying to get rid of.
I don't know what I want to do....there are marks on the screen already, but this thing really protects and covers the whole screen.
Just looking at it again, and it seems to be peeling up the sides like all the other ones.
Im going to leave it until morning and see what I wake up to.....
Hmm... are you using a case as well? Maybe I should have waited before I ordered mine

Any further information on those Buff covers? They look tempting imho... but testers should report .P
Sorry, to update....
It is a very sweet protector!
The sides settled down after a day or two and no problems at all.
Screen is clear and finger prints are not a problem.
Recommended for anyone that wants some extra protection.
One small problem....if you have a case that comes up and over the edges of the screen, you may have some problems. My gel case would cause the sides to peel up, do I'm using a slim case now

FO SHO
Got a different case because my diztronic was not having this protector at all.. works great.
Problem with mine is, I didn't align perfectly, so sides are a little off. But I spent too damn long applying it and had many dust problems, so I said screw it.(Also botched my first one -_-)
How is the screen clarity compared to not having the screen protector? I've tried the Zagg stuff and although nice protection, orange peel look and feel of plastic really got to me after a while.

I find it's somewhat similar to a ZAGG, not as orangy, but definitely not as smooth as naked either. You notice it the first time, but I just glide now that I got used to it. This obviously isn't the answer you were looking for, but it's the best I could do @[email protected]

Actually it does help, looking closely at your pictures, I can see where the buff protector starts comparing it to the white of the phone, there is a slight tint, so your right it is not as orange but still there. But I might sacrifice the smoothness since the buff protection from shocks is amazing, and from the number of cracked screens I have been hearing about with this phone, I think I may need it.

Glad I could help bro, I didn't apply the screen protector too well also. It seems to be more on the right side of the phone, but yeah.. I just got too tired man. I iced my first one, and the second one took equally as long and painful due to dust cleaning. Sometimes I just can't win! I'm happy with it though. Now I know my phone can take a brick at it, kinda.
