Today XtremeGuard released a new "HD" screen protector model, now with dry application instead the old wet application
It's a clear model (invisible), ultra anti-scratch, etc. The FAQ says it's not a tempered glass protector, but a "ultra hard PET very similar to glass".
https://www.xtremeguard.com/Articles.asp?ID=261
Someone already tried it? It's a good protector?
It's already avaible to nexus 5 here, just U$6,00 + 90% off if buy 2 or more items using coupon "90off" (+ free shipping to USA)

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! :good:
Just placed my order.. $1.20 shipped for 2 great protectors?? It's crazy not to get.
I have the 'old style' of XtremeGuard on my phone right now, and even though its protecting my device REALLY well, I'm starting not to like the thick 'rubbery feel.' I also have a small scratch on the protector that I accidentally made when rubbing out bubbles when I first got it, and my OCD hates it! lmao.. So i didnt want to buy another one, and i didnt wanna spend $15-$40 on a freakin' protector, so im stoked about this!
Thanks again
Order a HD and a Original ^.^

Just ordered a hd for my Nexus 5 and iPhone 5. $1.20 shipped. I'll report back with a mini review when it arrives.

I have had nothing but a great experience with the regular xtremeguard shield, had it on my Nexus 4 too. One thing I did was to use some car wax on it, make it considerably smoother and easier to clean. Just placed an order on the new HD one.
Ordered a red 16gb N5 yesterday, and just saw this thread. Thanks OP. I got a back protector, new HD front protector and install kit for $1.70 shipped. Nice!
Did anyone get their's? Wonder how thick it is, how it feels vs bare glass, and the clarity.
Boo for $6 shipping to get them to Canada.
I got mine already :3

My guess is that these are just the normal plastic screen protectors that were popular before the wet application ones came out. No different than the ones you can buy at T-Mobile or Verizon stores. I use the regular XtremeGuard screen protectors for every device of mine and I love them. They're cheap and I'm good at installing them. No need to spend $30+ at a Ghost Armor or Invisible Shield kiosk in the mall.

Same thing here... Not very happy with the product. I knew it was bad before i even installed it as the side edges weren't even cut straight.
I received mine too and the top/edge is peeling off and there were dust particles. i contacted them and asked for a replacement.
Thought I'd order one of the dry application ones, it's gonna take a MONTH to arrive!!! now, I know I'm in the UK but come on, in this day and age it shouldn't take a month to send something from the US to the UK...
It feels really nice and smooth. But the top cut outs are terrible. Contacted customer service they said they will replace. We'll see if they fixed their first run issues.

Same thing happened with me. I thought I was just incompetent.
Still don't know why people continue to go with XtremeGuard. The only thing that gets them sales is their big discounts of their "original" price. The quality is pretty horrible. The wet apply ones are very grippy and make your device feel crap.

maybe its a carrier fault, we cant blame the seller. Here on brazil the national carrier is a huge sh*t. The progress between any country to brazil only took 3~5 days. Then the package goes to the national carrier on the "international scan" and stay there for 40 days until anyone found your package lost in a pile of other millions package and send it to your city carrier

I dont bought this HD screen protector, but looking these pictures it feels really crap
I'm using the "standard" (wet) protector and althrough the wet installation and "grip-feeling", I'm already using for 3 months and it stay 100% perfect as the first day I apply it. No dust, no damage, no scratches, no edges taking off. It's not the 'best' protector in the world, but much more resistant than others brands
I'm glad to see I'm not the only person having bad luck with the HD ones. they already shipped me out 2 replacements.

Made by: A.R.M. (www.armstation.com)
Model: Samsung i9250 (GSM)
Dry or Wet: Dry
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE (Verizon)
Compatible with GSM & LTE
Rating: 8/10
About me: I am writing this section because I want to justify my review. I have been following phones and accessories since 2002. I have tried anything and everything. I have put screen protectors or similar products on almost all my electronics (iPod, Macbook Pro, Nintendo DS, etc) since 2002. I have tried Zagg, Best Skins Ever (BSE), Verizon brand screen protectors, SGP, etc.
A.R.M. vs ALL: I always bought SGP screen protectors because of the clarity and glass-like feel of the screen protector. I swore by it, but I was disappointed at the coverage. And there was no way in hell I was going to get a wet screen protector again. The one thing I learned is that never ever ever ever ever buy a wet screen protector, I don't care what you say about XO having ALMOST ALMOST ALMOST no orange peel. ALMOST isn't going to cut it for me. I decided to get the A.R.M. because it was dry, great screen coverage, and the Nexus glass is pretty strong.
A.R.M. Customer Service: A.R.M. had great customer service, I requested a sample through my connection on Thursday, received it on Monday. It took less than 3 business days to arrive from Hong Kong. INSANE, not only was it free (for me) but it arrived safely and quickly. This is the reason why I am writing this review. No I do not work for A.R.M. I don't know how you can buy it, I'm just writing this review because I like their product and company.
The Review: Packaging is simple, just a gold envelope you tear with your finger. The screen protector has 2 cutouts, 1 for the front facing camera and the other for the speaker and sensors. It is covered both sides to keep it protected. The install is simple as usual. I installed in the restroom with steam from the shower. The screen protector is noticeably thinner than most which is why it has such great coverage while not lifting up on the sides. It uses static to stick on the phone, no sticky residue. There was somewhat of a drag at first, so I thoroughly wiped it down with a microfiber and it felt a lot better. Obviously there is nothing like glass, but this feels similar to the SGP dry screen protectors. It attracts some oil (not much), but it comes off easily. In some angles you can see some rainbowing, but not noticeable in normal situations.

i just put on vzw clear ones on my gnex.. hate it.... want to take it off already . There is this crazy rainbow pattern going on that i cannot stand.

I'm using a Clairvue protector and no word of a lie, it feels just as smooth as the glass on the GN or iPad 2. Zero friction that I can feel.
Compared with a Zagg invisible shield, which had a lot of friction, this protector is a joy. Do you think the one you are using will always have that drag? That would make gaming a pain (literally ) in the fingers.

I dunno, I have a Clarivue ultra-clear on mine, and there is a bit of the drag sensation when it's clean (as in, just wiped down with isopropyl alcohol clean). But once you get a bit of oil from your hands on there it's very smooth.

The alcohol is drying the plastic, this might be the cause of the drag. I stopped using alcohol years ago to clean my screen (protectors) as they would always be negatively affected by it.

Bummer. I can't believe how smooth it is.
I emailed them the other day and got no response. Looks like they are waiting for the website to be setup before taking orders.
Received an email from them this morning and heres what they said;
"Mike,
Thanks your support and sorry late to reply email.
We are no any online shop."
Wow I want that... tried almost every screen cover wet and dry for the galaxy nexus and none of them have satisfied me still...got spoiled by the sgp glas when I had my Galaxy SII How is the coverage on the Clarivue screen covers? Is it close to the ARM?
I got a set of these in the mail yesterday and they are fantastic. The protector itself is extremely thin though and thus results in imperfections. Way better than the VZW ones I had been using that's for sure.

Does anyone here know if the Europe version will be the same as the US version?
XO Skins has the Europe version shipping, but the US is only preorder. I got a 50% off coupon from their newsletter Code: XOFD502012
Theer stuff is the best and looks and feels great. I want to order it so I have it when I get my phone and I don't want to waste the code.
Thank you for that coupon. Last time I bought one of theirs it was only 30% off.

Ok cool. I will grab a screen from them and as soon as the carbon fiber comes out, get it too.
I have only ever tried Zagg and Ishieldz because those two dominate the much smaller Canadian market. I found ishieldz to be pretty clear on my GS2. Has anyone ever tried both XOskins and ishieldz before? Is one much better than the other? Thanks.
I already had my mind set on Clarivue dry screen protectors because those you honestly barely notice but the Clarivue on my HTC One X was so small it looked ridiculous. I already purchased the Clarivue for the GS3 but if it doesn't install properly or is cut to small I have to go either wet application or no application.

Tbh i never tried any of the ones you mentioned but i already ordered a XOskins screen protector using the 50% discount code.
From my search i found some really nice reviews for the XOskins in general.
From my understanding none of the Dry application screen protectors will cover the front of the phone (whole glass part) thats why i went with wet Screen Protectors
I tried the discount code and it didn't work

Do you have any experience with those? I was originally looking at that brand but from what I read in the other thread it seems that the general consensus is those are junk. Many people said they weren't worth it even for super cheap.
I ordered my XO screen protector yesterday before I realized this thread was here. Sent them a message saying I forgot to use the coupon code and was hoping they could apply that. They just sent me a refund for half of what I paid.
A little disappointed with their service so far. I ordered three skins, only received two. Contacted them a few times via different routes over the last few days and no response.
EDIT: They eventually got back to me, said they'd ship another and include a spare. Fair enough.
Again disappointed here. Put the skins on an ipad3 and S3. Noticed odd looking marks on the surface. Left it over a day to dry out. Still hoping it goes on its own but it looks permanent to me. Hard to explain, looks like marks on the surface (not the adhesive screen side) from contact with the plastic bag they were shipped in. Large sections of frosted areas and then a few clear areas where the bag wasn't making contact. Can only be seen at an angle, not direct on. It's a damn shame, as the skins fit brilliantly. Especially the S3, cut outs are perfect and the screen is nice and smooth to the touch. Easily the best wet material I've tried.

I have to say I didn't like the protector I bought for my droid charge (it was horribly miscut) but the fact that they refunded my money before I even sent them back like they told me to was nice. I will now keep it around and at least try it on my S3.

You must've just been unlucky to be honest, my S3 ones fitted perfectly. Although I kinda wish they gave you the sides as well, they are still prone to scratches as well as the screen and back cover of the device!
Other than the black specks, which you must wash off thoroughly if you get any in your order, I can say so far mine has held up and working as well as my Skinomi did..

I agree! Just do not buy it... I bought one and I regretted
I bought these via the last thread about them a few weeks back. The cut out for the camera etc has to be the worst I have ever seen on a protector, It's not inline with anything and to steal a phrase someone else used in the thread as it explains perfectly looks lIke they where cut out by a blind sIx year old chIld. After a while the back plate protector developed a yellow tinge and looks horrible. The rest I've thrown in the bin. These are cheap in every sense of the word but also expensive for what they are even with a 80% discount. Their basically disposable protectors that will need changing regularily say every week or so if you want to keep your phone looking nice.
Not sure what you guys received, but here is a picture of my phone with the screen protector installed. It is working just as my invisishield, skinomi and shieldguard protectors have.

It's a trade off for multi layered self healing that can take the energy off a screen hit.
If there a difference in distortion or clarity when the screen is on? For what mine does, I am satisfied.

I just gave it a try for about a month and thought it also looked good until I decided to give other protectors a try to compare and the moment I took it off the screen just looked way way better. Then I slapped on a dry screen protector that is virtually invisible. Have it side by side by my friends sgs3 attention and sgs3 tmobile with same images, can't even see it or tell.

I've used many dry protectors, everyone of them has had the same result, sure they look great and clear, but they always start gather soot at the edges and start to peel. Once that event beings it doesn't end there..
Expired July 9th 2012, someone please post a new one quick
finally i got my order yesterday... never been so happy.. this is actually my second order, but now its for ipad, iphone and my s2..
Bought these when they had the 80% off and they are horrible. I put them on 2 phones and promptly took them off and gave away the remaining 3. Kudos to those that like them, but to me they were cloudy and I was clearly able to tell there was a screen protector on.
Saw this on ebay today. Was wondering if anyone has tried it out yet. It seems similar to the one sgp is coming out with.

It's not unique. SGP did it first with their Curved Crystal, which is the one I'm getting when it's eventually available at Amazon.

Well sgp's hasn't even came out yet so for now yes, it is unique AND it is first to sell it. Who is to say sgp didn't get the idea from Tridea?

That could be a month from now.
Why bash this company and say SGP was first? This company could have been first they are actually shipping now not just taking pre-orders. I first saw this protector on ebay around the same time the SGP was posted on here so who knows who was first?
I have no affiliation with them I'm just saying there is no point in saying it's not unique when they are the first company SHIPPING one so it actually is unique

Strange, before it said pre-order rather than add to cart
Might have been overwhelmed because of preorders, hence the long expected ship time. Either way I'd love to see a review on the Tridea, but SGP makes some high quality products, especially screen protectors.
Also, it is available on Amazon. It's $11.99

Wish that had been listed before I ordered them from Korea! I could have had them sooner
This has a good price but the sgp covers under the button and above the speaker. Wish this one did, I'd try it.
Fwiw. The sgp dealer i ordered from told be they had issues with the first batch that came in and that they are going to have to cut a new match which might cause further dealay.

I got mine today and they were a little difficult to align properly but not bad. You have to press on the edges several times to get them to stick but if your persistent they will stay down. The clarity is pretty good. When the screen is off there are some weird looking sport that almost look like orange peel but they are smooth and you cannot feel them. When the screen is on you cannot see these spots at all. These are just my first thoughts. I will report back in a few days to see if the edges stay down.
Overall I am pretty happy with the protector. They are much better than the straight ones that don't stick to the edges.
Amazon no longer has this screen protector. I was just about to order it too.

You might've seen a momentary Amazon stock hiccup, because I see that it's still in stock for $12. I have it "saved for later" as a 2nd choice while I await SGP's Curved Crystal.
with the sgp one's you get two pieces.

SGP failed with first batch of "Curved Crystal"
Then SGP failed with first batch of Neo Hybrid.
Goodness, are they testing it out on a customers?
p.s. Tridea owners, any comments on a subject?
Are these worth it? Seem to be the cheapest screen protectors for the quality?
Right now I am using a DBA screen protector and although it is a great protector, it is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a protector that covers the whole screen and does not leave the 1mm edge around it that looks like it is lifting up. And a protector that looks as clear as the naked screen.
So far I have narrowed it down to these two. I wish I could see both in person. Thats why I am asking you guys is you have had experience with either. I figure XDA is probably a better source than amazon reviews as many here are picky like I am.

I just ordered a set of 3 from xtremeguard.com. They're $5 each, but order 3 and use the code '80off3' and get 80% off. So 3 for $3, free shipping! I hope they don't suck...
Thanks phixional for the tip.
Unfortunately, I haven't tried either of those. I use the Zagg HD screen right now, and I can say that it keeps the screen looking sharp and protects it well. Don't go to cheap and end up with a scratch and regret not spending the extra $5
try the realook one, its really high quality and is super durable
I've used the both ArmorSuit screen protector and the dba one, currently using the dba. The ArmorSuit does indeed cover the whole screen and even comes with a small film that covers the home button. Installation is the standard wet application, it slides around pretty easily once you set it on the phone before the water is squeege'd out. Be warned though that the ArmorSuit dents very easily and contrary to their "self healing" claim, it's not true. I had a weird dent on the top part of my screen protector and thought it would go away eventually, two weeks later it was still there. Also in terms of smoothness, it's pretty smooth for a wet application but the dba screen protector wins in that regard. Customer service for AS is also pretty good, I told them about the dent and they sent me two new screen protectors.
Just for comparison's sake, I've owned a skinomi screen protector for an iPhone4s, it's not as smooth as AS and it acquired an orange peel effect in a pretty short amount of time. There was also some imperfections on the screen protector that caused vertical streaks all over the protector. But customer server for skinomi is excellent and they sent me a new pack after I told them about the issue.
I would still say that dba > AS > skinomi but if you're really keen on having the screen protector cover the whole face of the phone then I would suggest you go with AS
dont know how come this isnt mentioned more often but i have been using bestskinsever for some time and ive been extremely pleased with them. they are pretty cheap to boot too. just grabbed a bunch during the BOGO for black friday
I have a friend that says he likes the armor suit military. I have yet to get a screen protector and might just go without one but I think if I do I will go with the armor suit as I have heard others that like it.

I actually ended up with the hd. I like it and it has minimal orange peel. However, the installer nicked it in a couple of spots and said they would go away within 5 days or so (otherwise they will replace it). They have gotten smaller and I am on day two. Have you had experience with dings fully going away?
Thanks for the replies!!

Heard good things about the skinomi protector. I ordered the armorsuit. Both are highly rated on Amazon.com.

What do you think of the Skimomi? I wonder if I can use it with the TPU case.
I tried the Armor Suit and it shows nicks in it ... they say it heals over time, but after a week it still shows them

I'll echo this. I've used this brand on multiple devices and I've always been very happy with it. I just ordered from them yesterday. They are very inexpensive and have a 30% off sale through the 14th.
Anyone tried glass screen protector from xgearlive.com for this device?

I like the Xtremeguard protectors because mine seems to get better the longer I use it.
