Best screen protector - Galaxy S III Accessories

What is the best screen protector for good clarity and can show across the screen very nicely and decent stretch protection although the corning glass is scratch resistant. I have the flex vs right now and there is a big scratch in the center of the screen that's annoying and has rainbow effect on the whole bottom left side that is quite annoying on white screens. I have the nano clear from the neo hybrid car I might try it is the nano clear good?

I love the zagg HD screen protectors. I may be a bit bias though. Work at best buy so my discount on them is huge.

if you want a screen protector that doesnt scratch easily like your flex did - stay away from zagg. Look at the spigen products like you are. The one that would be least likely to scratch is the ultra crystal

Hi I bought a pack of these and have to say I am really impressed. They fit well and are ultra clear.

I have the nano clear I'll look at those if it scratched through the screen protector the corning glass I would think would save it.

I ordered the "next generation" protector from Bestskinsever.com, on sale for $5. I had one on an old clickwheel ipod from 2006 that was still going strong, and the new generation promised less orange peel. I have to say, I HATE screen protectors, but I'm liking this one. Individual holes are cut for everything, no U channel cutouts on top & bottom like the Zagg HD. The orange peel is minimal, and it's smooth as can be, feels like glass. I was really expecting the crappy, rubbery, finger drag feel that wet protectors are known for. I'd definitely order it again.

Here is what I orderd...according to Amazon it was shipped, hoping to get this in the next few days...

Xoskins works nice.. wet application but very little orange peel. Distortion is minimal too. Comes in normal and case fit which leaves a tiny bit on the edges so cases don't peel it up.
I'd buy another one.

Only down side is they take away the sharpness of the picture. I just run VZW screen covers. I've had this one on since launch day and it still isn't peeling or bubbling.
Um using the seidio protector. Its the only one I have used that hasn't dulled the look. Simple install.

Yea very good. I used the crystal clear one and I'm currently using that anti fingerprint one with the matte finish
Invisashield from zagg. Best screen protector hands down. Had one on my imagio for over a year and put it through all kinds of abuse. Its still on and perfect. Show me another screen cover that you can scratch the **** out of with keys and it won't even phase it. Put one on my TB as soon as I took it out of the box and fully expect it to stay on long past the life of this phone.

How is the matte finish? Does it take away from the image quality of the screen?

My crystal Steinheil is amazing. Try that.
I hate my Invisashield with the "orangepeel" texture. It also has a kind of tacky-feel to it.
I bought my girlfriend a sonix (by Lenntex) screen protector 2-pack (clear and anti-glare) for her iPhone and they're great! The finish is really hard and super smooth. It feels just like the naked glass. I'm waiting for my Thunderbolt ones to deliver any day now.
I purchased the protectors from Verizon. They work fairly well I have several scratches in the protector but not the screen. After prolonged usage though I can't clean the protector all the way anymore. Going to have to take it off and put on the second one that came with the kit.

[Q] Case that does NOT cause screen protector to come off or form bubbles?

So far I have tried wirelessemporium.com TPU case and D3O case and both cause bubbles on screen protectors. It happens on screen protectors I bought in tmobile store and also on the ones I bought from amazon and wirelessemporium. Anyone knows of ANY case that is free from this fault?
thanks.
I posted in another thread that the D30 does not bubble up the t-mo protector, but today, it did. Only on the bottom left side. I think it has to do with how center and aligned you get the protector on the screen.
I can only see the hard snap-on cases not doing this. But, a user with those would have to chime in.
Thanks, I wonder what it is... Samsung vibrant and Galaxy S 4G did not have this problem..
I have a feeling that if you took a knife and shaved around the edge where the screen meets the D30 case (don't do it with it on the phone of course) it might remedy this problem. I haven't tried it yet but it's just a thought.
Have you tried a wet applied protector ? Those are 100x more resilient to peeling and bubbles...
I will get back with you hopefully today if not tomorrow . I got a white case off ebay . I hope it don't have this fault . Otherwise no more screen protection .
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
We had that issue all the time with d30s and the vibrant/gs4g, either cut the protector or use a zagg invisishield. I'm using the zagg and d30 without issue, i've also set up several coworkers and customers phones exactly the same with no bubbling.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I'm using the zagg dry application along with the d30 case. Right after I installed the zagg, I popped it into the case and still no bubbling. I still see a line on the sp due to applying the sp tho using the squeegy
Make sure to force the lip over the screen protector in order to avoid the bubble effect.
Thanks for the advice
the diztronic tpu case and body glove diamond case that I have do not bubble up at all. I'm using an sgp dry screen protector.
I like the fish bone ones on eBay!

First time with wet apply Screen protector. A little bit tricky to install but very nice results. Screen protector feel sticky on humid day...
I am currently using the CIMO S-Line Case TPU Case. I have some bubbles on the screen, but they aren't because of the case.
Am using the d3o case and screen protector from tmobile and it's not causing any type of movement or peel up on the screen protector, I've even removed the case a few times....

Zagg is a humongous piece of crap. I got it free when I bought the phone....really...even those 10 screen protectors for £1 are better!

I have the sgp ultra nano and love it. Wish it didn't get as greasy but it's soooo better than the zagg.
Zagg protectors are worse than the $1.00 screen protectors on eBay that come with like 7 protectors. Absolute garbage screen protectors.
I am using the Ultra Nano Clear and it is one of the best screen protectors I have used for any phone.
Try Dynaflo, it is a nano liquid application. There is nothing to apply but a few sprays.
SGP nano is sooo clear compared to the zagg.
Ive never used screen protectors, but im using a zag hd with no complaints.
Why you guys hate on zagg? Whats wrong with them?

I recommend SGP Ultra Nano - one of the best screen protectors, very thin and clear though hard to apply; Zagg shield turns yellow after a few months
Get the nano, if you have any type of case the tiny edge that is left exposed is a non issue. I will agree that its sorta tough to install really any of these perfect. The nano came with 3 luckily as I jacked up the first one because you cant freakin see the thing on there and it was crooked...but second time was good. So I still have one left over to use once this one gets too banged up.

Zagg HD and the Note 2

I installed the Zagg HD screen protector on my new Note 2 yesterday, and I will tell you it should not have been cleared for use with the Note 2. It is so soft that it feels like it's ribbed from using swype with the S-Pen... and I don't press hard at all. What's worse, it's effecting the accuracy of the S-Pen itself, as I find I need to press harder. I would not recommend this screen protector for use with our amazing device. Really looking like I might have to go naked unless I can find a very S-Pen friendly protector!
PS
Best Buy Mobile offered to exchange the protector for me and install it tomorrow, an offer which I am going to accept and deal with until I find the best alternative.
I have the extreme guard $4 body and screen. Everything works flawless.

I made the mistake of believing the saleslady at Best Buy Mobile that the new Zagg HD was just fine with the S-Pen... first mistake. I have a Rearth screen protector waiting for me at home once I return from this business trip... but ya, I am looking forward to the upcoming Glas protector as well. Any word on it's release date?
I was on the same boat I bought the rubber screen.. shouldve posted a warning but got lazy :/
And I asked sgp and all they said so far was that it was a wip... and blah blahs

What screen protector do you use?

Well the note 3 has now been out for some time! What screen protector do you guys use if any, how do you like it? Also do you run into sensitivity issues or issues with the stylus?
I have an Otterbox and have gotten along fine, though the plastic one included makes the screen clarity worse!

No marks at all. Even fingerprints are rare unless I have greasy fingers, but wipes clean extremely easily. It's made of tempered glass, so I won't expect marking by the stylus.
Bubbles? I got a few when I first paved it on the phone, but they pressed out very easily. No bubbles at all on the screen, crystal clear.

Anything tempered glass is the way to be. It is far superior to the standard screen protector is quality and feel and also visibility. Grab the off brands anywhere online, or unusually just go to Verizon store, and grab one, like 15 bucks for one, and they last for a super long time while retaining their new appearance.
I've used iSmooth on my last few phones. They cost a few bucks more but have lifetime warranty, which I've used and gotten replacements pretty quick. Come 3 to a pack so even if you screw up on the first one you've got 2 more, contact CS whenever you need more. Anything that doesn't use a stylus I use extremeguard. They do 90% of sales quite often and thats when I stock up. Good deal.
