AT&T-branded screen protector review - LG Optimus G Pro

I've tried many many screen protectors on various devices and I swear by the Spigen products. Since they don't have a Steinheil or GLAS.tR SLIM offering yet, I decided to give the AT&T-branded screen protector a try:
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/screen-protectors/sku6610351.html
The packaging has a Case-Mate logo on the front, although Case-Mate's website doesn't show it.
Anyway, the cut seems pretty good; it covers most of the glass, up to the beveled edge. It has a cutout in the upper right for the front facing camera and sensors. The feel is not quite as good as Steinheil, but acceptable. I'd consider the clarity above average; while not quite invisible like the Steinheil, it's still pretty clear.

Yeah. I have the AT&T screen protectors as well. Seems ok even though I don't generally do screen protectors cause they always bubble at the edges when the phone is in a case that overlaps the edges.

I did ask Spigen about offering some of their Crystal Clear ones and was told they would be offering them in a couple of weeks. So hopefully that is the case, but they are not on the site yet. I am going to inquire as to any news or updates on it.

there decent. can't beat 3 for only $10.

I find that the screen protectors that we (at&t) offer tend to really hold on to fingerprints and not let them go without a fight. I'm assuming that's the case here as well?
Still waiting for my xtreme guardz to ship. I don't know if they have and don't notify you or if that company is just horribly slow.
On a side note, I just picked up my Folio case from my store today and it is wonderful. Way better than that cheap crap Samsung makes for theirs. Even has the nfc and wireless charging built in along with sensors that shut the screen off when closed.

How much bulk does that case add?
3 for $10 is bad of a price. I might have to stop by tomorrow and get a pack. Thanks for the review OP.

My daughter had the att guy apply hers. Looks great, just a couple of small bubbles near the home button. When they spread, she'll try one of the two left in the pack. I suspect she'll ruin it, and take the phone back to the att guy for the last one. Then, maybe, she'll take my recommendation and get a Zagg. How long that all takes = how good the att one is... looks good for now!

I also just picked up the Folio case. I'm a case hater because they usually add bulk, but I'm a big fan of this case. Since the "case" is actually just a screen cover attached to a back plate there is almost no additional bulk. The cover is millimeters thick and the back plate may add a tiny bit of material along the sides, but it's hardly noticeable. I initially balked at the $50 price tag, but with the built-in NFC and Qi charging, it's hard to argue.

Have anyone noticed a decrease in brightness with this screen protector? I just got the phone from another person who already had the screen protector installed at AT&T store and to me the brightness seems ridiculously low even at 100% compared to my One X+.
Sent from LG Optimus Phablet.

A few more observations now that I've used it in the office (bright lights) and outdoors.
From a fingerprint perspective, it seems fairly comparable to the Steinheil.
Under bright light with the screen off, the protector actually has a ever slight purple tinge to it, where the Steinheil is very clear.
With the screen on, it does not seem to affect the screen brightness adversely.

The best screen protectors I have used on any phone is Spigen ultra crystal. It's like you don't even have one on they are also very easy to put on. Issue is Spigen doesn't sell them for this phone yet unless you buy their Spigen case for LG Optimus G Pro they give you one.

+1:good:

I've decided to return my Optiimus G Pro. Great phone, but could not get used to the size of the phone is my hand. I've got two extra AT&T protectors that I'll send to the first person that PM's me their address. Will only mail within USA.

While the application was easy, with no bubbles or dust anywhere, and it gets ride of finger prints easily enough, i found that the att screen protectors scratched really easily. I do nothing different with this phone that i do with my others, and i already have hair line scratches all over the front of it ( gladly not on my screen ), just fair warning. I had the application down perfect and hate to have to re-do it because of future clarity issues due to scratching.

I personally enjoy the invisible shield.
I've had it on my Nokia N900, then on a xperia mini pro, on my wife's iPad and iPad mini, her iPhone, my GNex and my OGP.
Got nothing to complain about it. The only thing is that, if you live in hot weathered country and keep the cell in your pocket without a flip cover, it'll eventually start loosing glue and will need to be replaced.
That's why I always buy them in pairs. So I always have a spare.
BTW, they feel really good at touch.
I highly recommend.

Best ultra smooth screen protector

Yeah yeah I know there's a lot of topics about screen protectors of the one I'm serious about one that is very slick this very tough to the way I can use a stylus, Yes I'm probably still one you remaining few people who play drawsomething. The one I'm currently using a cut down from a wrapsol that I cut down and made to fit my phone. The one I currently have shows all lot of scratches on scrapes and marks. I want one that will not show any blemishes after taking a beating.

Surprisingly I have some cheap ones like $2 for 5 and it's really good quality. Compared it with a phone without a screen protector and couldn't tell the difference. got it off Amazon, but there are so many different Sellers and different kinds, I'm not sure you'll get the same one. Well ultimately, some cheap protector are just as good as some well known ones.

Try out Realook's screen protectors..at first I was a fan of SGP's ultra crystal screen protector but after putting on a Realook, I havent gotten a SINGLE scratch in nearly two months and also, it looks perfect - you can't even tell there is a protector on the screen. Good luck!

I'll vouch for Realook also. I used it for my Vibrant and now I'm using it for my S2.
The only downside to this screen protector is it will bubble (without modification) if you're using the D30 case due to the super tight fitment. There's some tricks you can do to avoid bubbling. Just do a search.
Amazon is selling a pair of the screen protectors for a very low price of $12!

Gadget Guard
http://www.gadgetguard.com/
I have this on my, phone, laptop, gps, my kids iPods. I put this on 30 Panasonic toughbooks at work and also about 10 different tablets. I won't buy another product ever again.
Pros: It heals itself if you use a stylus and it leaves makes they will go away, if i get a small scratch in an hour it will be gone. This doesn't include major damage. 100% life time guarantee, whatever the reason, if your gadget guard fails to live up to their high standards they will replace it, free, for the life of your device.
Cons: Dry install was a little tough, Wet install was easier but it is a little scary for electronic devices, If you wet install it will take a few days for all the little bubbles to disappear it goes faster if you let it sit in the sun.

Just ordered an otterbox defender, did i make a mistake?

I recently won a bid on ebay for a note II so naturally i want to protect it the best i can. I am the type of person who can be a bit hard on phones. I drop them, sometimes things can fall on them and so on so i need good protection. I pretty much have an otterbox on everything i own so i figured i would order one for my note II. Im wondering if i made a mistake because the reviews im reading arent very good. Can anyone comment about the case on the note II? Most things im reading is the outside stretches quickly and the plastic screen protector really diminishes the quality of the screen. If this is a bad case, can someone recommend the best solution for protecting the phone AND the screen, even if its two seperate parts.
I have the otterbox for note 2. Hasn't stretched at all. It's a chore to get it off really.
My wife's gs3 otterbox has stretched. But this one is much better.
It's great for falls, but it's not sealed as much as the evo otterbox. Not sure this case would save the note 2 from a fall in the dog water bowl like evo did.

Not trying to pick on you. But statements like this make me shake my head. Big deal the case scratches. It's better the case than the phone, right? Not that I'm ignorant, and know you don't want some case that's going to look like a cat scratching toy after a month. From what I read, usually the shinny slick cases tend to show more scratches.
As for the screen, I don't think you'll notice much if any deminished screen output from the screen protector if you've been using the Otterbox Defender on previous phones. I don't think it's that likely the screen protector is that much different from other Defenders for other phones.
My guess, I think you're psyching yourself out.
When I had my otterbox, I removed the built in "screen protector" and had a zagg on it. I dont like the built in one as sand and small particles can get inbetween screen and the "protector" and when you use it. Your mashing thos into the screen. I would advise you to remove the screen protector and install your own directly onto the phone. Other than that great case.

Apparently you are ignorant. I said stretches, as in the rubber stretches quickly causing it not to stay on the phone, no scratches.

Well, as lovely of compliment that is, either I don't know know the difference between stretch and scratch, or I wasn't paying close enough attention. Given what I wrote, the safer bet is the later. Thus, my most of drabble was not on point. But I digress....
Back to the topic at hand, As for screen protectors, I suggest checking out this thread, Screen Protector Reviews in the international GN2 subforum. It's 28 pages of this morning. I stopped reading it about a month or so ago. There was another thread, even longer, but it got removed.
Personally, I use the Just Like Glass screen protector. It's a wet application. Covers all viewable screen, but doesn't go to the edge. So cases that go over the edge won't push on it, like TPU cases with lips don't play nice with screen protectors that do go the edge. I'm not sure how the defender sits on the phone off the top of my head, so not sure if the JLG would work well or not. Since you're so rough on phones, it may be. JLG uses similar tech to hurricane glass, and claim it adds 35% shatter resistance; their numbers, not mine. It's stiff, really thin, and it feels very similar to the actual glass. I like it.
It's not perfect. It will get small scratches. I have a couple, but I rarely notice them. There is a rainbow effect that can be seen under halogen lights and the screen off. When the screen is on, you don't see it, at least I never have. It's a side effect from the UV protection the protector has. Some complain that screen protector scratches easily. I don't know how easily, but I have a few, but I don't see them when the display is on. I'm not sure if they came with one or not, but I know JLG owner was looking into getting a dry application model. Plus, unless something has changed, JLG goes give good customer service. Shoot an email to the ower, some guy named Scott, and he'll work with you as much as possible. He knows screen protector isn't for everyone.
It also works very well with the Spen. Others have had issues, from what I read, with Zagg Invisishield. The Spen sticks, unresponsive, to actaully scratching the screen protector. Some have said the Zagg's HD works well. But from what I gathered, for the Spen to work well, you'll want to get the thinner protects, which end up being less scratch resistant.
Here a picture of my GN2 shortly after I put it on:
if you click the picture, you can see a really big picture. But you can see how much of the GN2 it covers. I use a Cruzerlite TPU clear case. I'm still using the same screen protector and case, which has been close to six months.
For me, as long as the flaws are noticeable when the screen is on, it doesn't bother me. It's currently being sold for $13.50, so it's one of the more reasonable priced protectors. It only comes packaged with one protector.
Hopefully that helps.

I appreciate the reply. After doing a ton of searching, I found just about everyone who bought a SGP Ultra Oleophobic seemed to love it so I'm gonna try that. I wanted to get the just like glass but the wet application sort of scared me away. I'll report my findings when I get it and the phone.

Not really free. You have to return the original and pay for shipping. Now Otterbox's warranty is second to none. Just send it pics of damage and they will send you out a replacement completely free of charge. Now when I bought the first black Defender I had a pretty nice gap between the built in screen protector and the phone's screen. It really was annoying especially playing games or texting. I ended up giving that one to my wife and buying the grey/white one off Amazon for $35. This one has no gap and fits like its supposed to. It's been a few months and I've had no problem with dust in screen or silicone stretching. This one seems to be built correctly. Not so much for the Defender for my EvoLTE. Been a year and I'm on my 5th one.

I popped out the screen protector part as dust kept getting in the stupid hole they cut in it. My phone stays in my pocket with nothing else so no scratches on the screen. If I'm going to throw my phone in my wife's bag when traveling or something like that I bring the clip to protect it. Worked for me so far..
I'm a contractor and I've put my otter box through hell, I remove it every night and have for six months and it hasn't stretched a bit. My phone is still cherry because of this case, I've dropped it 10 feet gotten concrete on it and it's coated in crap every day.

I'm using zagg screen protector aka invisible shield
I picked up a pack of 3 from amazon made by Tech Armor. Link
Pros:
- No fingerprints whatsoever
- Very minimal discoloration
- Finger slides like on paper
Cons:
- Display loses sharpness
- Few mm short of covering length of screen
They make a matte and clear version of the screen. It's a fine protector for me since I prefer the papery feel, but not everyone like clarity trade off.
I am using the nillkin protector came with my nillkin case, it's very good and my friend did not even notice I have protector on. You can buy separate ones off eBay for a cheap price.

I use an Invisibleshield from Zagg. It works very nice but I've only had it on 2 days and I believe it takes longer to completely cure. So I'll wait on that to report how the screen quality issues affected but even now it's not bad at all; barely even noticeable

I use this screen protector too and I got the matte version instead of the clear one b/c I like the papery feel/sound. And I am impressed with the quality and the price. So far, it's been protecting my screen very well, but I did notice that I have to tap my capacitive buttons two or three times on occasions, but I'm not sure if it's due to the screen protector alone since I placed the screen protector on it as soon as I got my phone.
I'm hoping there will be spigen ultra optic..there's only ultra crystal right now. My experience on note 2 is really good. Antifingerprint while maintaining screen clarity
Glass, but the effect is not good, may be because I don't know how to stick it

It's not really your protector: it's probably the flawed kernel that got shipped out. Sprint released an update that fixed things, but it's not worked its way into custom ROMs.
+1 for the matte amFilms though. Great feel and price. I slapped one on my Galaxy Nexus as well just because (if you'd believe it, it's a perfect fit for the screen).

It's not really your protector: it's probably the flawed kernel that got shipped out. Sprint released an update that fixed things, but it's not worked its way into custom ROMs.

I got my phone from T-mobile though. Does T-mobile have the same problem too?
I use cheap ones off ebay... buy a handful from 2-4 sellers, find one you like and then re-order 10 or 20 more and just change them out once a month or so... screen protectors should not be kept on the phone for a year or more, except maybe glass (Haven't tried any glass yet)
You can probably get a years+ worth of decent protectors for the price of one Zagg at bestbuy... or less!

Moto X Skinomi Screen Protectors for $0.01?

I found this posting on Amazon which appears to be Skinomi screen protectors for the Moto X for only $0.01. This seems like a terrific deal. I'm not sure why they would be selling them for such a low price but thought you guys might be interested.

Nice. Good find. Order a couple to hold me over until I find something else I like. Something is better than. Nothing.

I honestly don't think I will put a skin on mine. This thing is pretty tough.

Just installed mine. Fit decently, but I will post pics after it dries. Sucks waiting to turn it on!
Yeah I have used Skinomi before and actually love how easy it is to install.

Just ordered two of these since they were so cheap. I've seen good reviews of it, but this is the first time i'm getting a "wet" screen protector, and I'm a bit apprehensive as a result. Thoughts?

Not too bad. Reminds of bodyguardz in regards that the screen isn't too rubbery like invisible shield. All in all, great especially for the price.
Had the skinomi on for one week... already full of imprints... don't think I would buy again.

XtremeGuard did the same thing.
I have an Armorsuit coming as well as the Skinomi. Guess Armor is going on first.

Any experience with IQ Shield? < or > Skinomi?
Had mine on for 7 days now. Still bubbles all around the edges of the protector which look bad. One corner peeled up when I was wiping it down with a screen cloth so now I have fuzzies all under it. The feel of the protector i enjoy. It's not super glass smooth but it never feels tacky to use. The cut of the protector was perfect. Overall for $3 its not bad to hold me over until my InvisibleShield gets here (boy they are slow at shipping). I think I'll stick with InvisibleShield which I've used for many different devices and never had any problems with bubbles coming out / edges peeling. Same feel but better quality it seems.

I've got an IQ shield on mine at the moment. Installed easy but I flubbed and didn't install it quite even and so the bottom keeps bubbling from the case. I think if I'd lined it up perfectly, it wouldn't be an issue. I'd also tried the Skinomi (not impressed) and the Armorshield (I think I must have put the case on too soon, it bubbled along the side once I put the case on 24 hours later). Maybe I should stop trying wet install screen protectors?
Picked up The Skinomi because I couldn't resist the price. The cutouts for the screen sensors wouldn't line up with the phone. (yes, I installed it facing the right way)
Onto the next brand. Thinking about going with the power support one because they are supposedly officially licensed M4de for Moto X.

I have the PowerSupport screen protector that is sold on Motorola's website, and it is hands down the best screen protector I've ever used. Well worth the $15, since it comes with 2. Buttery smooth to the touch, and absolutely no distortion of image. Just feels really high quality and minimal.

Do you use a case? I use the diztronic case, and worry about spending $15on screen protectors to find out they won't fit and peel up.

I'm using the Rocketfish case from BestBuy. 100% clear, really high quality, and lets the design of this phone shine through. Well worth the price, and doesn't interfere with the screen protector either. Plus its TPU, and covers all the sides of the phone. Really the best case out there IMO.

For what its worth, I got the i-Blason screen protector from Amazon and really like it. I've bought multiple screen protectors over the years for various phones, and this one is probably the best I've had, even better than Verizon ones (which are also really good). They seem overall the easiest to install, and are very clear. Can't even really tell the screen protector is on. Can't comment on how they will stand the test of time, since I've only had my Moto X a few days, but so far I really like them and would buy again.
I also use the Diztronic TPU case, and it doesn't interfere at all with these screen protectors, in fact I don't think it would with any screen protectors.

Same problem here the hole in the screen protector on the lower left side, which I believe is for the mic, does not line up at all.
The edge of the cut out is on the right side edge of the mic hole.
Not having any problem with people hearing me so I am going to leave it on.

I emailed them and they sent me another skin. Just got it yesterday (two day turn around, very quick) but I haven't opened it yet. I'll see today if it fits better

Ballistic SG Maxx?

Anyone have any experience using this case?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GW...711c0078cb53ed6a1c9&pi=SS115#ref=pd_aw_sims_1
The real concern I have is the screen protector, which is the main reason I want it, I want a phone case with a built in screen protector. However I keep reading it doesn't do well with glare, or its difficult because you have to press so hard. I want to hear from someone that has experience though. If anyone could share, would be much appreciated.

Built in screen protectors suck. Aside from the problems you mentioned above, screen protectors are meant to get messed up (scratches and marks and stuff) and be replaced, with built-ins you're stuck with them. It's just a marketing gimmick. I have had experience with Ballistic's SG cover on my old phone (HTC One S) and it was brilliant, good material and it really works at the price of adding a little more bulk to the phone. I've just ordered one for my nexus a few days ago.
I'd say get the regular SG and get a pack of good screen protectors for the $15 you'll save.

Ah ok, I'm using i-blason's Armorbox and the built in screen protector is very good IMO, I was just looking for an upgrade, because the rest of the case sucks lol.
Thank you for your input, I will steer clear of the SG Maxx for now.

I'm using the ballistic without the screen protector and love it. My phone took a tumble the other week and it didn't even sound like the phone hit the ground with the protection the case provided.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
my brother owns one with his nexus
it surely does a gud job protecting the device
but im not a big fan of the look
I'm using the case without the included screen protector.
Yes, I own this case! It's a great case (if you're looking for protection), but out of honesty, the built in screen protector is rather disappointing. The plastic feels cheap and emits a rainbowing effect when placed in light. The protector is very thick, which lowers the sensitivity of the screen.
I attached two images. One showing you a front shot of the protector and the other showing a side shot to give you the gist of how thick the protector is.
Overall, the case is fantastic, but you'll be better off using a screen protector from a different company. Also, you might have a little trouble sliding this case into jeans. The rubber sticks to the cloth of the jeans and it's not easy to slide the phone in and out with the case on.
Hope I helped.
