Zagg Screen Protector questions - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hey guys! I now have Zagg installed on the front of my phone.
1) How long do I have to let it sit and dry for I can stick it in my pocket?
2) How long do I have to let it sit before I can stick a case on my phone?
SO far I like the feel to it! It is also the HD version and looks like it covers the whole screen. So 2 big pluses in my book! So the corners peel easy? This is my first time really using their product. So far so good and no air bubbles that I can see. Some will need to dry out I am sure over the next few days.
Thanks!

I have the zagg HD and I messed it up a bit by putting my case on it too early. I would say let it dry for a few hours before putting a case on it. If your pocket is empty, you should be ok, but to be safe, wait a few hours before you do that too.

Great! I installed it yestersday so its all most been 24 hours. I will prolly wait like 48 hours before the case just to be on the safe side.
What cases are good for the Zagg front only? Let me know if you have any reconditions!

I bought my SIII at Bestbuy and the clerk put the zagg invisible shield on it. He took all of several minutes to install the shield, then put a rocketfish hard case on the phone. No problems. The hard case is a two piece case though. The top snaps into the bottom. The clerk did a good job with the shield. No bubbles, very smooth and nice fit. I never cared for screen shields before, but the zagg HD invisible shield is a very nice product. I started using the phone immediately with no issues with the screen protector.

I saw the Rocketfish cases too. I'm looking for something with a little more protection I think. Would love an OB Defender but they are not out yet. ><

Are you guys happy with Zagg? I have used it before, and have known plenty of others who have used it...
I am baffled as to how they stay in business (good marketing?). It's expensive, tacky, and has the worst orange peel effect by far of any soft screen protector. Also, the viewing quality quickly deteriorates compared to competitive products.
Products like Steinheil, phantomskinz, ect... are superior, and cheaper IMO.

i am happy with the HD version on my SGSIII. Also liked it on my iphone.
And remember the life time warranty replacement applies to the orange effect. just make sure you keep the old one so you can send it back. or they will charge you the full price for replacement.

So far I have no orange peel. Its clear as can be! Nice and smooth too.

I only stay because if I need a new one all it costs me is a stamp, envelope and 3.99. No matter what happens to my IS that is all it costs. I will check into the others you listed if I remember them when I get a new phone. If it isn't the same to get it replaced then I'm going back to Zagg.

Zagg vs BodyGuardz vs Etc...

Hey all,
I'm definitely interested in protecting my Evo upon purchase, as I'm always traveling and it's just nice to save it from any physical harm (as not to induce the +$100 on TEP). At the moment, I dualphone a TP and an iPhone 3G -- both have generic screen protectors and no case.
The two most thrown around names for screen and total phone protection are Zagg and BodyGaurdz. What is everyone's experience with these companies? Do the screens/bodies stay on? Do they really protect as strongly as advertised? Any problems with touchscreen via the protector? How difficult were they to actually apply and are there bubbles or peeling visible (this is my number 1 annoyance).
Didn't see a thread on it, so feel free to throw out some other companies you've had experience with in the past.
EDIT: Those with cases; do you find they're an annoyance when removing them from jeans or slacks? Feel free to submit cases as well, however I really love how the Evo looks, so I'm trying not to cover it up too much...
i plan on picking up an Innocase II
I have the Bodyguardz on my Hero. The big piece on the back cover has proven durable. The small add-on pieces on the sides have started to peel off slightly. The plastic that is used does a great job protecting the phone from scratches and nicks. It is a bit slicker than the Hero's rubberized case so it comes out of the pocket easily when needed. I did not use the screen cover, because I don't like texture on the screen. I opted for Boxwave on the screen instead. The installation of Bodyguardz was not too difficult. It uses a soapy water spray to aid in installation. I was pleased with the end result.
I've used Invisible Shields on two iPod Touches(1st and 3rd gen) and my Hero, they work amazingly. One thing I hate about touchscreens is if say you wash your hands and need to go back to your phone, all the oils of your fingers have been washed out and makes using them pretty awful. Never a problem with invisible shields. Had all of them at least 8 months each(about a year and a half with my first gen iPod). Lastly, I'm a small guy and I like to look my best (;D lol) and I wear tighter slim fit jeans and I've never had any problems with taking them out of my pocket.

Have you tried the full body invisible shields? I do like their screen protectors, and I'm a little curious out the full body protection as well. I've heard (as posted above, also) the BodyGaurdz start to peel on the sides after a short period of time. Have you experienced this problem at all?
I have the Full Body Bodyguardz on my TP2 and the sides peel off rather easily.
I had the Full Body Zagg on a TP and never had any issues with peeling. BTW, I used a boxwave screen protector instead of the Zagg.
I prefer the look of the Bodyguardz but I don't like the peeling. I plan to go with Zagg.
i actually decided to go with what i'd heard the best things about for the HD2 and get a DQC-160 (made by 3M) here : protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-dqc-160-screen-protector-htc-hd2-28087.html

Always the full body protection, on the first gen ipod it fit perfect, my hero it first perfect, but because of the odd contoured shape of the 3rd gen ipod touch the corners started peeling sooner than the other two. But my first gen started peeling after a year and a half, and I've had my hero since launch and still no peeling on this one.
zagg
its funny about the invisishield, i had one on my iphone 3g and it seemed to peel about every 2 months, and i always got it installed professionaly at a kiosks
I pre ordered an xoskins for $11 bucks for a full body. Google them, they have had nothing but great reviews.
Ghost Armor is the way to go. $14.99 for full body armor and it doesn't have the orange peel effect a lot of the others give you. Also they use usps priority shipping and it comes with application kit. Biased since I run a cart for them lol. We are opening Monday at Town East Mall in Mesquite, Texas so come by and take advantage of a free professional install and lifetime warranty. If you are in the phoenix area we are in every mall.

I like bestskinsever.com
super cheap and durable.
Zagg
For those of you with invisibleshield, you should know that Zagg says they replace for free, for the life of the device, any of their skins that tear or peel. I think that is the way I am going.
I have never had any luck with Zagg. I always have orange peel. Bodyguardz has never given me fits, and once its on, its really on there. I love bodyguardz
You guys know that Zagg has a huge memorial day sale every year right??

I think i may be buying one for my evo that im getting next week
ZAGG
I was just about to post about the zagg sell guess turbo beat me to it, i ordered mine last week, had a 50% off code from the ipad giveaway, but i have had zagg on multiply devices, and never had a problem, I even show off to my friends by trying to scratch the screen with my keys, and great customer service... By the way i have the full body coverage..
I have a zagg on my Touch Pro, Ipod and son's DSI. I had to replace the one on my Touch Pro twice because of issues with the Touch Pro where I had to send it in for repair. Both times, Zagg sent me out a new full body kit, I replaced it on the phone and sent back the old one. Only cost me $3 something for shipping each time.
I did notice the first time I replaced the skin after about a year that it had a yellowish tint to it when I took it off the phone but I never noticed it yellowing while it was on the phone.
One last thing that I have seen a lot of people turned off by is the "Sticky" feeling the zagg skins have. I don'y know how many times I almost dropped my Touch Pro where if it wasn't for the "Skickiness" of the skin I wouldn't have been able to catch it. I like the feel of it and it keeps it from sliding around in the car when I throw it on the dash.
I already received my new Zagg for my EVO...just need the EVO to go with it now.

HAHA 'professionally' and 'kiosk' shouldn't go together in the same sentence.
I just ordered a ZAGG due to the sale, $15 and change inc shipping. I was looking at their videos and such, it looks very easy to install and seems like it will work great.
Ive used zagg on a couple of devices now and would swear by the protection they provide, but most recently i left my phone in the car and the edge of the screen protector portion of my device looks as though someone put a hairdryer to it. Lots of ripple like it was cooked. For this reason I followed a link here on xda to "clear-coat"... Bought their full body for 16.24 using a memorial day code I found on their facebook page. Original price is 24.99 for full body, figured it was worth a try considering most screen protectors alone for zagg will run you 18 or more.

Wrapsol protector for EVO

Wrapsol now has a protector for the HTC EVO. I had this for my Hero and it was great. They just put it on their webpage today, just ordered mine.
Enter the promo code "chatter" for %20 off. www.wrapsol.com
How does this brand differ from any of the others that are out on the market, or, have you not used any others?
thanks!
I've used the screen protectors from the Sprint store as well as the ones from Wal-Mart. Those are difficult to apply and you will always get bubbles. The wrapsol is very easy to apply and I had no bubbles. Also, it doesn't haze up as much as the Sprint/Wal-Mart protectors. I believe Wrapsol has a lifetime warranty as well.
do you just use the screen protection, or do you install the full phone protection?
I am curious how it fits around the camera/LEDs. plus how it sticks to the sides, since its such a narrow side channel on this phone cover..

I've installed two of the screen protectors sold at the Sprint store and have no bubbles whatsoever (one clear, one anti-glare). No haze either. They weren't difficult to apply and look great. Maybe the ones I bought are different than what you tried (I have the 3 pack. 2 clear, 1 anti-glare), but I don't have anything bad to say about them.
Eh, after watching the videos i'd say ZAGG looks like it gives a more professional finished product.
if you dont mind the orange peel effect, zagg is ok;
I've used zagg, best skins ever, and one other brand, and I thought zagg was the worst of them all, and the most over priced..

memorial day sale, $15.xx out the door for a full body skin
I never owned this product, but they were at the gdgt.com show I went to (in Chicago). First off, the guy had it on his iPhone and told me that it's impact resistant...I said "Huh?", he took his iPhone and dropped it from shoulder height (He was 6'4")...nothing happened to the phone.
Second, the stuff is durable feeling...it's weird to explain, but it's got this hard enamel feel to it.
Lastly...it doesn't have that orange peel look/feel to it. It's a nice product. I think I'm going to buy it myself...
and seriously, if one of you tool bags think I work for the company, or am being paid by the company, or anything like that...go screw yourself.
just ordered one; curious to see how it fits on an evo..
thanks for the coupon code!
Impulse bought this after getting my evo and having nothing to protect it with. Ill let you know how it turns out.

Invisible Gadget Guard screen protector and full body protector

I ordered those from eBay for around $15, they just arrived today. Tried to apply body protector first. Body protector is made out of 5 pieces and no matter how hard you would try to fit them, it's impossible to get them to stick nicely and not move. Started with the battery cover piece that's the largest and easiest to apply, it turned out to be just a little too big and when I put battery cover back on the of the phone, sides of the protector unglued and let the air under them which created bubbles. Tried side protector next, but that thing is impossible to fit. Gave up on the whole body protector and though to just apply screen protector and keep my gel case for now.
Screen protector is of the most horrible quality I've ever seen in my life! It's so grainy, it looks like my screen has a resolution of about 100x40 after application. More than that I'm not sure if it's because I used soaped water (as per instructions) or for some other reason, but parts of the screen-protector actually turned grey (against black background), some other parts are a bit clearer, but still, grain kills the whole thing. Ripped it off and will be waiting for some better screen-protectors to show up on the market.
Don't waist your money on those.

I ordered a similar protector from clearfreak (they were the only ones selling a protector for the captivate when I ordered about 10 days ago), and it came in the other day. While the material itself seemed about on par with the zagg protectors (I've used Zagg before), the screen protector was a bit too big, so theres a bubble going across the top where the protector wraps around the top of the phone.
I see that zagg has protectors now, so I guess I'll get one of those. They seem to have changed up their offerings a bit, they offer full body "maximum coverage" and "easy install"; can anyone tell me how difficult the maximum coverage protector is to apply? I've done a zagg full body install on my zune hd, so I understand that these things are a bit tricky to get on just right, but I want to know if the full body is significantly harder than the easy install one with a bit less coverage.
How is the touch screen after you put on the screen protector? I have had a few that really seemed to mess with the touch screen. It seemed like it took twice as much pressure for it to react.
Is that the case with the captivate as well?

Capacitive touchscreens aren't pressure sensitive, so protector or not, how hard you press shouldn't make a difference. That being said, I have a Zagg invisibleshield on my zune hd, and it hasn't affected the touch sensitivity at all.
I've used BodyGuardz and Zagg before. The one piece of advice I have is, instead of using the soaped water they give you, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. It lets you slide the cover to the correct position very easily and will just evaporate out from under the cover, leaving no bubbles. I had a super clean install on my HTC Pure that way. To be safe I'd also remove the battery and make sure the phone has plenty of time to dry before you turn it on again. Also, if you enter ZAGG's weekly iPad giveaway thingy they have been giving out 40 and 50% off coupon codes.
I just got the AT&T screen protectors (pack of 3 for $10). I actiually got it for 5 (50% off through FAN account) and they are of good quality, clear and fit perfectly. There's even a cutout for the earpiece speaker and light and proximity sensors.
The two AT&T stores I went to did not have them but the AT&T smaller stores in the malls did.
I got the full body Invisible Gadget Guard, and mine looks fine. I didn't use soapy water, just plain old water, and everything fits perfectly, except for when I was dipping it in the bowl of water it snagged on the side of the bowl and when I made the mistake of trying to pull it off, it stretched, but I just cut it to fit and it's hardly noticeable.
Although, I won't lie. I did order the Zagg front screen protector for the fact that I know it works. I did the infamous "key test" on this cheap one, and it performed surprisingly well..
But it's not completely a rip-off if done right, especially for the $5 I paid.

you paid 5 bucks?
Let us know when you all get your Zagg Invisible Shield protectors in. I am trying to decide between Zagg and BodyGuardz. I haven't used either but I love the device entire too much to cover with a case.
With a 45 day money back guarantee, surely it cannot be that bad for the $24.
I bought the Invisible Gadget Guard off Ebay as well for $13.97 with a free car charger. I used just water to get it on. At first, it felt and looked awful but given 2 days, everything smoothed out and I was able to get all bubbles off. It's actually pretty nice now. I had to snip a little of the sides because I stretched it a little too long, but that's not a big deal.
I have a Zagg on my Zune HD, and initially I felt like it was a bit rubbery, but I left it on to see what happened, and after a week or so, it didn't feel rubbery anymore to me. You have to be really careful with the installation, make sure you dont get any dust/debris under the protector, but after that you can throw it in your pocket without any worries.
I got a phantomskinz for my captivate, since it ended up being similar in price to the Zagg but comes with 2 instead of one, and I'll post back here with impressions once it comes in.

I bought it and it was total crap. Waste of money!
Well I just finished installing this, and TBH it wasn't that bad... I've done many type of film installations on cars and stuff and it was very similar to doing it on the phone. I took my time with it and I am actually very satisfied with the result. It gives the phone a very needed grippy feel. Some pieces weren't the most perfect size to fit but it covered most of the area pretty well. I will got some pictures up later tonight. You really have to take your time with this installation or get a professional to do it, other wise you will end up like some people on here not very satisfied at all.

invisibleSHIELD experiences: Is it worth it?

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.

You obviously bought a fake or another produuct that is not invisibleSHIELD or Best Skins Ever.
These 2 I have no doubt do not let anything scratch.

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).

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.

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

Please check my thread for some more information on screenprotectors and shields, it's in my sig

What screen protector?

That's the response I always get. I have the Realook screen protector, I think you can only get it from Amazon.
I've been very happy with Ghost Armor.
I like Seidio's Ultimate Screen Guard.
HTC EVO 4G screen protector
This is where i ordered my screen protector, much cheaper than local shops. crystal and just like you never use a protector on your screen.
I forgot the name brand, but I have a privacy protector. Not because I want to conceal my privacy but because most privacy protectors offer the thickest of SP's!
100% recommend Zagg.
Great protection, dosn't smudge, and lifetime warrenty. I have sent mine back twice now (first time was because I managed to get dirty under it, 2nd because I shattered my screen) and I get a brand new set. Peel it off send it back, done.
Hey,
I agree zagg all day every day! Their protectors are cheap thin, the feel is amazing, they protect from scratches and you can beat them up but it keeps your screen safe! they are easy to apply with solution, and best part when you want a new one just pay a few bucks for shipping send them back the old one and its free!
this video says all! hope i helped!

Zagg is by far the best imho
I had ZAGG on mine for several months. It worked great. I took it off because I didn't like the feeling of it compared to the "glass" feel. I've had it off for a couple months and still no scratches and I like the phone a lot better without it.
I just tried the new anti-glare version from zagg, it was horrible!!! It was like looking through crystallized glass, especially when there was white background. I went back to the original zagg and love it.
I use the one that came with my OtterBox. I thought I was going to hate it but rarely even notice its there any more.
Clarivue. Can barely tell the difference between it and the glass. Just bought my gf some generic ones off Amazon for her shift and the quality was really good for a quarter of the price. Don't think I'll be buying the name brand versions anymore but if I did I'd go with clarivue.

I also use the one that came with my Otterbox case. Before that I also used Invisashield(Spellcheck ).
The touch screen is more prone to breaking from pressure or impact then from scratching.
yess finished my fiends...
I have to say Zagg is the best. For one, if you have them (or someone like best buy mobile install it) both the screen protector and the installation have a lifetime warranty. Meaning if your screen starts to peel off, take it back to Zagg get a new one free, and get the new one put on for free!
i dont like screen protectors and cases and mi phone is perfect but depends how you use it
i've used an the otterbox one for a bit and then a zagg when that wore off but now i have SGP STEINHEIL anti fingerprint one. i didnt really care bout the fingerprint part but liked that it was slightly matte so its wayyy easier to see with sunglasses on
I'm using the one that I came with the otterbox. It has been on since September, with heavy use/abuse. Its just barely starting to peel at the corners.

Zagg since launch day. Has a couple of pretty decent "marks", but when the screen is on you cannot even notice it. It is the only protection that I use. No peeling so far.

Zagg! You cant beat the warranty if something does happen to it. If you can find a kiosk let them install it. Its the only thing I will let someone else work on my phone.
