I'm planning to buy a screen protector for my moto x, which one should I buy?
i-Blason Premium HD Clear or ArmorSuit MilitaryShield?
I picked up the non-glare film set off the Motorola website. I think they're made by Power Support. Fits the phone nice, went on with no bubbles. I'm extremely happy with it.

Power Support for sure. Best screen protector I've ever used.
Or the screen protector that comes stuck on the phone with the white corner tab :laugh:

I left that until my xtremeguard protector arrived (I had to import it from the US because in México I couldn't find anything for the x) and after one week it looked like the phone was in a knife fight.
I'm using xtremeguard and it feels nice and isn't expensive (bought it on eBay).

I give the ArmorSuit a big meh. After a 5 days I'm starting to see orange peel around the edges and its still pretty tacky. I like it better than a Zagg, but still not a big fan.
iSmooth screen protectors are inexpensive with a lifetime warranty, even if it's bad install they replace them. You get 3 in a pack with a very nice size micro fiber cloth. Amazon has them on sale for under $10.

Verizon screen protector for Moto X

I went to Best Buy and purchased a Zagg and had the sales associate install it. I waited around while it was installed but was not able to really inspect it because I had to quickly leave and get back to the office. When I was able to really check it out, the Zagg had many air bubbles....large bubbles, not the small-ish ones that dry out and go away. And, there was dirt and dust under the Zagg. Plus, the Moto X Zagg does not cover the entire screen, it has a relatively large border on all sides. I returned the Zagg, got a complete refund, and went to the Verizon store down the street. I purchased the screen protector Verizon sells, used my corporate discount, and they even installed it for free. I must admit, I was very skeptical about the Verizon screen protector, only planned to use it while I read the XDA forums and reviews for Moto X screen protectors, but the Verizon one is holding up very nicely. The Verizon sales associate who did the install laughed when I told her about the bad install that Best Buy did, and she told me she was an expert, and I have to agree. She cleaned the device, used tape to remove dirt and dust and aligned the screen protector perfectly. Cheap, free install and looks great. Win!
Don't buy BoxWave!
I would recommend NOT buying BoxWave screen protectors for Moto X. I got some for my Galaxy Nexus last year and they were too narrow, but I never returned them. When I got a Nexus 5 here to test I used them temporarily and loved the feel, so I decided to give them a try for the Moto X. They don't fit right. If you line up the hole for the mic, the top part covers the earpiece and camera; if you line up the top, the mic is covered. Here's a link to my "customer image" uploaded to Amazon.

I got the Power Support ones from Motorola when I ordered my Moto X, and I love it. I tried the iSmooth protector from Amazon on my wife's Moto X yesterday, and it sucks. It went on fine and looks good, but it is "sticky" when I slide my finger across the screen. We both tried it along side mine, and the Power Support is definitely slicker and easier to move a finger across. I removed the iSmooth from hers and used the second Power Support one that came with my order.

I have never NOT used one, but I have had to replace them eventually because they got scratched and scuffed. But my screen did not. I have to assume that had I not had the screen protector on, the screen would have been the thing that was scratched and scuffed, and that I would have been able to do anything about it.

I never had a screen protector on my OG Droid, and never had a problem. When it became dirty with skin oil and whatever else stuck to it, I would get my finger wet, moisten the entire screen, then wipe it with a cotton cloth. In two years I never got any noticeable scratches on the screen. It was never in a case either, and I even dropped it a few times onto carpet-covered concrete floors from up to 6 feet high, and it never suffered any real damage other than a scratch on the bezel. When it wasn't in use, it was always in a holster - never in my pocket with other things that might scratch it.
That said, I would NEVER go without screen protector or a protective case again.

I am currently using a XT860 on AT&T and have never had a screen protector on it, and never had a problem. I am just trying to figure out if over the time people have had the Moto X they came to see a need for the SP or not.

I might have to try that one. I tried the xtremeguard and it is soft and gummy. My cheapo one of Amazon is better, but doesn't cover the greatest and is a fingerprint magnet.

I have to say, I think it is the best screen protector I have ever used, at least in terms of how it looks and feels. I can't speak to the long-term durability yet, since I have only had it for a few weeks. But it is definitely nice to use.
I like the PowerSupport (Brilliant at least) too. It's pricey, even with the 30% off accessory discount Motorola had, but it's a quality SP. This is Made in Japan. You get two SPs and some dust removal accessories in the package. I didn't need to use them since I went directly from factory SP to the PS SP.
The SP itself is very smooth in feel and glide; not quite glass, but very close. I like the way it feels. The PS Brilliant does show fingerprints but it's not horrible in that regard. The underlying screen's picture quality is still Brilliant as the name implies.
My only nitpick is an aesthetic one: the cutout on the top is not symmetrical (left and right of the center earpiece), but I can give them a pass on that due to the sensors in the top left complicating things.
Is it the best SP for the moto x? I don't know; I am not a SP aficionado and it's the only one I've tried on the X, but I do know I am happy with it.

Depends what you do with your phone. Every phone I've had has been in an otter box with holster.... Or seidio and holster on my s2....So I don't use screen protectors. I had one long ago and it was scratched up quick. Ever since I go without. My s2 after 2 years.... And working construction with my phone always with me.... Had one small scratch that wasn't even noticeable with the screen on. Again tho... My phones are in a holster... So the screen has awesome protection already. And my dirty hands and fingers have never scratched my screens.
My Moto X is now in an otter box defender... But I removed the built in screen protector from the defender... It really made it harder to touch things on the screen. So again... No screen protector now.
If I kept my phone in my pocket, I'd probably use a screen protector. But I'd miss the naked screen feel.

I was trying to find screen protector for HTC aria and all i found is from ebay. Zagg invisible shield dont even have it yet
On the zagging you could order the hd mini and cut for the optical
being a user of zagg on previous phones i can't imagine it playing very nice with a touchscreen.
Screen + Protector?
Try Amazon.com the screen protector product is made by Amzer for the HTC Aria.
I am a new user so I can't post the link.
I just purchased the screen protector from AT&T and the edges on all 4 corners protrude ... when I put the back case back on it pushed each corner up.
Has anyone else had problems with the AT&T protectors?

Keep in mind that the Amzer protectors don't ship until 7/13 (according to their website).
Me? I'll probably go the HD Mini protector + hole punch DIY route that others are suggesting. Too many opportunities to scuff up my screen with kids in the house.

I have the same problem with the screen protectors I got when I bought my Aria. I will apply another one tomorrow and cut the edges before I apply.
Zagg are great for touch screen
I have been using Zagg's stuff on my old iPhone and my wife's iPhone and they worked great. I actually prefer the feel with the invisible shield applied. I am bummed that they don't have one that is designed for the Aria yet. Anyone actually tried the HD mini one with success?
I got the Amzer® Rubberized Black Snap On Crystal Hard Case for HTC Aria. It doesn't ship 'till 7/13, but that's only 2 weeks, so I can live with that. I got this case because it's like a soft/hard case, and I think that will work better than an all-hard or an all-soft case. Then I got a Gadget Guard screen protector. I was originally going to get an Amzer screen protector, but I read reviews saying Amzer's screen protectors are really bad. Hopefully, their cases will be okay. This is the only company so far I've seen that are making cases for HTC Aria. I didn't know what AT&T had because I bought mine at Best Buy. Btw, from Best Buy, you don't need to do the rebates, because they already include it in their price.
as for the screen protector i got a package of 4 universal screen protectors
from there I took a hole punch to make a whole for the optical button then applied the screen protector to the phone without the case and trimmed it with a razor blade.

zagg is now selling screen protector, or full body protectors

Has anyone ever used the Phantom Skinz?
I briefly tried a Zagg Invisible Shield (invisible my ass) on my previous phone and it made the screen noticeably less clear and it was very hard to clean pocket lint off of it because it was so grippy.

I used to use them on all my blackberrys. You just dip them in water and apply it to your device. To me they all look the same, I would say that phantom is not as thick as zagg but performs just as well.
Does anyone have feedback on the zagg cover for the back of the aria? I am surprised that they even make it since its got a rubberized type coating. The screen protector is a must do, but the back I cant see for the aria.
Of course they come out with the specific cover days after I buy a different one and cut to fit. Dohhhhhhhhh!
Another thumbs up for Phantomskins. Easy ordering, fast shipping, easy installation.
For the first 24hrs or so, (Dry-ish california weather) the screen touch sensation is a bit grippy, but after a day or so it becomes slick again.
I ordered front only as I see no need to protect the back, and if there is a very nice case one day I will get that anyway. My immediate problem was protecting the glass front. So I ordered just the front skin, which covers the entire phone front as shown on the phantomskin website.
After drying, viewed at an angle the surface appears wavy but viewed straight on it is perfectly invisible. Skin fits aria perfectly.

The military grade tech armor screen protector. I got it off amazon for a very good price. I like this because it protects the screen, it diminishes finger print very very well and on top of that, it totally preserves the screen quality. Bought it for my nexus 7 and totally love it. Haven't changed it and it still just as good. Lifetime limited warranty. # I am not a sponsor lol

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).

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!

I bought this Tech Armor 3 pack on Amazon. I messed up the first one like always but the second one went on perfectly. For the first day or two it was rather sticky feeling but after a bit of break in time/use it feels just like the stock glass screen. I've been using it for about a month and there's been no peeling, bubbling, or scratches. It's basically edge to edge coverage. There's maybe a 1 mm gap at the bottom of my phone with the top flush so you could split the difference and have almost no gap all the way around.
For $6 shipped they're a good deal. I don't notice these at all and I'm not a fan of screen protectors in general. Since I haven't found a case I like for The One at all and I wanted protection for putting my phone face down when I'm at work these fit the bill for cheap. I just ordered a DevilCase bumper and back cover and I'll likely continue to use these covers even if I like the bumper combo.

I think I'm going to try the glass ones. I just hope they don't mess with the touch sensitivity etc.
I use a mime ghost on my one and there is no negative effect whatsoever.
// sent from my phone //
Note on the product page for touch sensitivity
"Please note system software 1.29.709.12 or newer is required for use with our HTC One Ghost Glass"
Spigen, Spigen, Spigen. Spigen all the way! The best clarity and perfect fit for my htc one (and all other phones for that matter)
I purchased a Nillkin red hard cover for my One, solely to add grip after a few slips, which come with a Nillkin screen protector that I decided to try. Applied really easy and has an excellent fit and the feel aint too bad. I'm not a fan of screen protectors generally but decided to try this one and it's perfectly fine.
Once you go glass, you never go back
i've used verizon protectors before on a gnex.
i'm on a t-mobile moto x right now, but obviously they are all the same.
anyway made the mistake of buying a couple ebay $1 PET hard plastic screen protectors and they did not fit (probably 1mm too wide, so it would always be a bubble on the edge.
so i threw those away, and went to the verizon store. 12.99 for 3 unless you have a discount. they do fit perfectly though, and they have some sort of anti scratch layer on them (i got some tape stuck on one, and it removed some from a section.... so be careful if you are used to using tape to lift the protector to remove dust that gets under it).
but yeah if you don't like the "wet" screen protectors that feel rubbery, these are not too bad. probably as good as you are going to get short of glass ones.
I saw some others talking about these in another thread and it's got my curiosity piqued. I'm using some iBlaison ones right now and while it's OK, it's no SGP or Power Support (who are actually making screen protectors for the Moto X). I think I'm gonna swing by the Verizon store here tomorrow and pick up a pack (I'm with AT&T).

The Verizon ones are ok, although they do pick up fingerprints really easily - much more so than the naked screen.

i have had a verizon one installed since day one, and it is a fingerprint magnet.......additionally it scratches really easily. there are tons of scratches on it already, though they can't be seen when the screen is on. maybe i'm just anal about this, but i remember my steinheil one didn't scratch up like that on my razr.

I am thinking of getting a screen protector for my moto g. I know it has gorilla glass 3, but i hate scratches on the screen so much I am still considering giving it a bit more protection. Had a look on amazon, not a lot of choices. In fact this seems to be the only good one. It has no reviews, so thought i'd share it here and get some opinions.
PS: Am i being too weird? Is the screen already safe enough? let me know

It will be my first smart phone, so I got the flip case/cover for the all around protection, but yeah, if you just want it for the screen, I guess it's an OK choice. Though I've read some people don't like the feel of those protectors.
My Dad has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it just has a "Scratch-resistant glass" and it has no protection at all it has been 2 years but there is not even a single scratch on it and I know how rough he uses the phone so there is no need for extra protection
Watch the scratch test video! They used even a knife but the screen was like new

I am just a bit of a freak when it comes to scratch on glass
I went to the beach with my Samsung S4 and it got scratched, but luckily I did have a screen protector on. So yes gorrila glass protects against knifes but it won't protect it from sand
@theArchitektas
Where did you get flip case from? Pretty sure they are not selling them yet
I have the atFolix ones on order from Amazon; were dispatched last week but still waiting. I'm the same, I always put screen protectors on my phones; the only exception is my Lumia 920 as it has a curved screen and I couldn't find a decent one to apply (even the official one was no good)!

I guess I didn't put it clear. I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK, haven't received yet.
If anyone can find a glass screen protector for the Moto G please let us know. So far I haven't found a glass one anywhere. I can't stand the plastic ones, but the glass ones (like the ones made by SPIGEN) fell just like the original screen.
didn't find one glass screen protector for MOTO G...if someone has found it then do share the link...desperately want one to gift to my friend on Christmas......
Thanks in advance.....
Did anyone find one in Mexico City?

I can strongly confirm. When I had mine I scoured the interwebs looking for a protector and couldn't find a good one. But I had min for about 1.5 yrs and had NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH. There would probably be small lines near the SE logo... but you would have to peep closely to notice.
I think I might order mine without the SP and decide to get one later.
Try xtremeguard website use coupon code cyber85 and mystery for 90% off paid $2.79 for 3 screen protectors xD

I'm one of those people who can't bear to leave the house without a screen protector. I've made my own by cutting an iPad screen protector to size. Looks ok to my eyes, though I'll treat myself to a decent one when they become available.

I could, though the Moto X itself isn't sold in the UK. I wanted an immediate solution so I wouldn't have to leave it unprotected but I'm happy enough with the outcome to wait until some decent screen protectors arrive on the UK market.
I brought a case which is actually quite decent and it came with an OK screen protector. I applied it like a 2 year old so ended up taking it off and throwing it. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161166397679
I saw a Samsung reps galaxy note 3 the other day that he had in his pocket with keys and everything and the screen was scratched really badly, not just a little and that apparently has gorilla glass 3

People who say only things of a certain hardness will scratch Gorilla Glass are talking rubbish. Either that or the phones I've seen in CeX - no more than two month old devices in some cases, with screens that look like they've been sandpapered - have been kept in the same pocket as someone's beach samples.
BEWARE the moto g does scratch quite easily, I know this because mine slid off the chair and the screen cracked and had scratches all over it, I now have got a replacement moto g and put a screen protector on from day one !

If you are spending $200 on something that could be damaged a good screen protector is cheap insurance.
We replaced my wife's Nexus S (bought the first month they came out) with a Moto G. She never had a screen protector. She has one bad scratch in the Nexus screen http://www.patentlystupid.com/sw/nexus.png sorry the pic is blurry but I took it in the dark with only a blue LED flashlight to highlight the scratch. Now keep in mind the Nexus S did not have Gorilla Glass. My guess is my wife's diamond ring hit the screen while she was rooting around in her purse one day. That is the only bad scratch on this 3 year old device.
A friend of mine likes to carry high end ($300+) pocket knives made by Bench Made, they constantly scratch is screens and he has resorted to using Spigen Glass screen protectors and these too get badly scratched by the metal edges of these hardened knives. He has replaced several already.
So no you are not being too weird or paranoid. I use Spigen Glas-Tr myself. I have no scratches on it yet, but I would rather replace the $30 screen protector than the screen on my $650 SGS4. Just make good sense.
I have put a cheap plastic protector on my wife's Moto G screen. I will replace it with a tempered glass one as soon as I find one I like.
screen protector ensures higher resale value, and since I sell my old phones on craigslist/ebay, I put protector on every single time. Sometimes $.99 stores sell iphone screen protector n I use it as temporary one until I wait to receive one I ordered online.
As for Moto G, I received the phone today and learned that the cover that comes with the phone CAN be used as a screen protector. Those M logo and motorola name on it? You can scratch them off with your fingernail.
