screen protector - Galaxy S III Accessories

I want to buy a screen protector for my galaxy s3 from ebay. which is the best protector? I want protector that I can use the phone with gloves.

Go with the xgear glass one had one on s3 and not 2 they are awesome and cheaper on ebay than xgear site.
And they sell gloves that work with cells at walmart..most screens generally do not work with gloves

Gloves? Thats a new one for me.
Ive used cheap screen protectors from eBay and they really suck after a week of normal use. Ive had my ismooth for almost a month and its great, only complain is the top edge didnt adhere. But for 3pack,lifetime warranty and under $10 its a great deal. Got it on amazon prime tho. Ebay might have them too.

How's the smudging? I'm using the one I got with my diztronic and it loves fingerprints... I would ditch the protector, but I will be passing the phone on in a month or two (when s4 and One arrive). Want to keep it clean!

Xgear glass on ebay: A $35 screen protector?!!
Maybe a better question is what is the best bang for the buck in screen protectors for the S3?

I just saw an impact resistant screen protector on Kickstarter: Rhino Shield. Looks pretty tough. I've backed it for my S3.

Go naked! I work with metal all day and haven't had a screen protector on since I got my s3 (September'12) and there is nothing even resembling a scratch. Finger prints and smudges wipe off far easier too.

Metal may not scratch the gorilla glass 2 screen, but sand deffinetly does (you can check the innumerous gorilla glass reviews). So, for people like me, who live close to the beach and often bring their phones to the beach, a Screen Shield is a prety good idea.

all screen protector are garbage

[SCREEN PROTECTORS] What do you use?

I've been look around to find a nice screen protector to use. I've been using a crappy $1 from eBay, which don't get me wrong does the job, but I'm looking for something nicer. Something with more quality and maybe a different option, like oleophobic or something.
I've been looking around and reading a lot of reviews. It seems I'm stuck and I can't decide.
Realook VS. Spigen
What do you suggest? Any thought? What do you use for a screen protector?

I have the same protector you have lol and it's nice but scratches easily, i too am looking for replacement of quality

Your screen protectors scratch easily? I don't even think that they are near necessary with this phone. I've had mine for about 5 and a half months, I work construction and carry it around in my pocket without a case or screen protector and I don't have a single scratch on the thing. It's neigh invulnerable the only damage to it is a thin scratch along the bottom back by the speaker but its not on the glass so I don't care.
The Zagg Invisibleshield is pretty good, but it has kind of an orange peel look to it. I've only been told good things about the Steinheil Ultra Crystal screen protectors. You could always try that, or the other screen protectors they have.

XO skins does a great job little less orange peel look and not quite as sticky as zagg invisible shield though both are good products priced about the same. I've used both xo on my e4gt now zagg on my evo 4g.
Check out the Steinheil screen protectors (Amazon search: Steinheil Epic 4g Touch). They are pricey, but well worth it. I have the Ultra Crystal on mine and although it still picks up fingerprints they wipe right off with a microfiber cloth. I've had it on since I got my phone 4 months ago and there is not a single scratch on it anywhere. They do have different types (like the oleophobic) so you should find what you're looking for.
i use from radio shack or walmart there universal in a blue package u get 5 for 11 bucks if ur good at puttin them on like i am 1 last me 4 months and im a metal fabricator... im rough. gl!

Yea the spigen is the same as the steinheil. I don't know which 1 to get tho.
The steinheil/spigen protectors have more options. Like ultra crystal/oleophobic/fine film.
But I've heard better reviews about the realook. But realook only has "crystal clear".

I went with reallook at first, didnt like them. As you put the screen protector on, it creates lots of bubbles. I got them to send me 2 replacement packages literally within 2 days after bought.
Right now I have the matte antiglare. Its like 3$ for a pack of 6. Free shipping too

ghost armor is the best screen protector ever. It's so strong and you can't even tell there's a screen protector on it
But then there is the fact that our phones come with gorilla glass. Do we really need screen protectors?

If you have any intention on re-selling your device, then you will get way less if the screen is all scratched to ****.
Mine is a 10/10 still. I can get top dollar for it.

Screen protectors which one is stylus resistant?

Hello all, I like Ghost Armor for the body of devices but their screen protectors suck and get carved up by the stylus.
What are some of the harder and smoother protectors that work well with the Note's stylus?

It increases a friction a bit initially but over about a week it'll smooth out and write well. I don't get any stylus marks. I clean the protector occasionally with zagg foam and it's like new. I have the full body version. As a warning if you get the back protector it needs to be cut to accommodate the s-pen. I've been working with zagg to get them to fix it. I ended up just cutting mine.
I am hoping for glass smoothness. I finally got the SPG glas on my Note LTE and it really spoiled me but they don't make that in 10.1 size.

I also have Zagg screen protector. It does have resistance. The pen does not move freely on the screen. It does leave marks on the protector.
The screen can self healing so most of marks will disappear after a while.
Zagg suggest uses of Turtle Wax. Performance is acceptable with turtle wax apply to it weekly.

I bought the zagg protector BC that's all best buy had. After 1 day of my kids using it the screen protector was ruined. It was all scratched up and even broke in spots lol. I went and bought a armorsuit militaryshield and its holding up great so far. You can see marks from the pen but its not scratches and my kids color hard. Its a little thick and sometimes I have to press a little hard but it works great other than that.

Thanks, gmfeny, for the heads up on Zagg. This was discussed in the larger screen protector thread. I'm at the armor suit website now. Did you get the screen protector for 19.95? Is it Glossy? This looks like it adheres similar to the Clear-Plex brand. Thanks.
I got it from amazon I think for around $19 and it came with the clear body shield to protect the rest of the tab. It is glossy not one of those dull anti glare ones and its a wet application or whatever its called so you can't really mess up putting it on.

I got a Steinhill (SGP) for $20 from Amazon. I use them for all of my devices and they stand up really well. They are difficult to apply because one spec of dust will ruin it. Take your time applying (in a steamy bathroom is helpful) and all will be good.

I use the Xtreme guard screen protector. It is similar to the Zagg protector people have been talking about, It is self healing so has no scratches, even after my 2 year nephew got on it with a pen...
At the moment Xtreme guard are having a sale, If you buy 2 protectors use the coupon code 75off2 and you'll get a good deal.
It is also put on using water. You need to soak the protector in water, take off the cloudy protective backing and put it onto the note 10.1 screen wet. Make sure the tab is off. It's pretty easy, take about 10 minutes and once on is really good. If you need to take off it comes off fairly easily but you won't take it off accidentally...
They also have a body shield too that keeps everything looking new...
Just purchased a couple new protectors, code is still good... Would've been $15 for screen and body protector X2 if I lived in America but since I live in Oz it cost $19..
I got my clear plex screen protector yesterday and is awesome. I go through screen protectors like crazy. Heard about clear plex the other day and truly impressed. Stylus does not stick as I use my note for graphic designs and freehand drawing.

Was the clearplex hard to install. I have had really hard time with Zagg in the past so I am a little leary to try to install the the clearplex because I don't want to mess it up.
Installed a bodyguardz last night. I've trusted their gear on all devices. Epic 4g, iPhone 3g, S3, and now my note 10.1. It seems to be pretty smooth. Easy to install with the lube they send. Doesn't seem to keep finger prints and comes with a fancy microfiber as well.
Hi, you can try replacing the tip of the stylus with the full white plastic tip. It will be smoother.

It's all personal preference, just like what kind of case you want to use.
Not sure how the good brand matte screen protectors are like, but the cheap ones i recieved were horrible. The quality was great but the screen resolution sucked bad. Gave it a washed out pixilated look to the screen. Took it off with in few minutes. I just ordered the tech armor HD clear see how that one is like. Got it in amazon prime for 7 bucks for pack of 3. Should recieve it friday

So you did choose matte. I once had it and it was driving me crazy. Just feels not right when you touch it. I like glossy ones.
I got the lloyd matte ones and i couldn't take it anymore after two days. It was fingerprint proof and that was great but the pixilation and loss of screen quality was a real dealbreaker. It was like looking at a old tube television really up close. Too bad. I really like how the touch was compared to the hd gloss ones.

I use to use a Zagg shield on all my phones but on the S3 it seems its not as resilient as past phones cause im noticing like "dent" marks in it now. SO not sure if they changed something but they arent as good anymore...go figure
I forgot which matte one I had but it worjed well. Only thing I didn't like was it got dirty really easily. I have an SGP ultra nano now and like it a lot better.

The nano clear does not cover 100%. The only screen protector that cover full screen are wet applications or the dry application sgp curved crystal.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
Some of the matte or anti-fingerprint screen protectors make the screen dull or grainy, some don't. I have typically just purchased Spigen crystal Clear but sometimes I just get the ones at the Verizon store too if I am out and need one on a hurry. I tend to avoid the Zagg film ones due to the orange peel affect. Some of the tempered glass type like Spigen's Glas.t (which they are not offering on the GS3) are beneficial as well.
One thing to keep in mind is not all screen protectors work with all cases. Case in point is the Spigen ones with the curved edges, I found they tend to lift and were useless.
I use iSmooth and my friends can't even tell its there. Its a dry application but doesn't cover the whole phone which I'm fine with.

No scratches, also, this is the first time I've used a screen protector on any of the phones I've used. I hate having one but I have to admit, I'm impressed with this one. IMO, the picture doesn't do any justice, thats not a lift, its the shadow on the edges. It's only $10 on amazon
Here's a tip when installing, have a scotch tape near by to remove any lints. It works better than what comes with the product.

I'm going to purchase this because you said it's a good one! Well no but seriously, I'm going to look around some more so if anyone knows any protectors that can back it up I'll take a look. But as it stands, I'll probably be buying this one
I bought an awesome pack of three on Amazon when I first got my GNex, let me see if I can find them in my purchase history.
They're anti-glare, and you can't see your fingerprints because they have a matte finish.

I would recommend all screen protectors by SGP
They're way more expensive, but in my opinion it's worth (Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic , would be a good choice)
Also for more protection than just a piece of plastic, i use the fantom glass screen protector which is also pretty nice.

+1 for this. I have used several other screen protectors (ZAGG, Spigen, Clarivue and a couple of others), and this one, while not the easiest to get on, works great. Great feel and I like the way the screen looks when it is on. Because it is a matte protector, it is not invisible, but no real orange peel and it is not sticky at all - great finger feel on the screen! And cheap as well!
I hated any screen protector that I put on my Galaxy Nexus, after buying it I put on an Xtremeguard wet apply full body, after 4 months, I took it of.
Screen protectors suck and reduce the usability on the phones at times, some of them are pretty sticky or not as slippery and smooth as the glass.
PIE from AOSPA has never been so easily, I still use a case, but I bought my phone to actually use it, and I've been affecting my usability by babying it. It'll be so worth it unless you're really that paranoid about a scratch here and there.
No screen protector doesn't work for me. I work in a machine shop and metal chips find their way in my pockets daily. I prefer the non anti-glare 3 pack from Walmart or target. I forget the brand but they're cheap enough and don't interfere with usability.

I HATE screen protectors. I used my HTC evo, and shared with my 3 and 4 yr olds for 2.5 years and only used a screen protector for 1 month. I ended up after those 2.5 yrs with only a couple very very minor scratches.
Decided to keep rolling naked cause if I'm paying so damn much for this phone I want it to feel like it should.
I am going naked too.
Insurance is a wonderful idea.

Glare-reducing screem protectors tend to do that, whereas a regular clear one will not. If you put a screen protector on very well you cannot tell its there without looking for the edges and cutouts and I find the only difference is sometimes they attract fingerprints a bit more... but that tradeoff is well worth it when 3 years later you can pull off the protector and have a literally like new screen.
I used to worry incessantly about scratches or dings. Then the cases started getting larger and larger and I'd have a phone that was twice as thick as the day I unboxed it. I've since gone "naked" on my SIII and it's holding up beautifully. The screen is clear and unblemished and it's nice to have a phone that will slip into any pocket without catching or bulging. :good:

Best screen protectors I've ever used came from spigen SGP ... Here is one for the S3. They are pretty damn close to the original glass in both smoothness and oleophobic-ness, and are pretty easy to put on to boot.

I used it for a little bit this way. Loved the feel. But I noticed some people complaining about the fingerprints were showing more and more and some glide was lost. The problems appears to be that the oleophobic coating wore down. Decided to go back to utilizing a screen protector...about the same time lifeproof released the nuud and fre for the s3. Decided to go with the fre. I have tried multiple screen protectors before: zagg, spigen, even cheapos, and none can match the feel for the real thing. They come close bu just don't cut it.
Haven't had one since day one with this phone. No damage in over a year. I'll never use one again.

never have, never will
i have no idea how the naked glass feels like Lol, always have a ismooth film protecting it.
I love mine without the screen protector.. But I still use it.. Not for protection porpoises.. That's silly because of the gorilla glass.. I use it for the touch.. The matt touch is amazing and I hardly notice it..

I'm not a big fan of screen protectors... I use the Samsung Flip Cover and it works good enough.
I´m not a fan of screen protector too! I use as the only protection for my galaxy s3 an FitBag
and i can say it´s an really nice thing
someone took my screen protector off so I said oh what the heck can happen, it has gorilla glass, and after 1 month the screen got scratched so I had to put another protector on to hide the scratches.. .. . ..
Me personally i love the protection of a screen protector, i cant stand scratchs on my screen... So i double the protection screen protector , plus otter box defender case which has a built in screen protector

I love the "Just Like Glass" product, I can't even tell it's there... cheaper than some other ones too.

Just clean the screen sometimes if is protector too and quality will be fine :laugh:
No to screen protectors. Hate the feel and glare. One year with the S3 and not a mark, knock on wood.

I took my screen protector off, I was sick of replacing them all the time. I haven't got a scratch yet but I am careful
