Really want to know how GPEL one works with cases I got a armorsuit but, I suck at putting it on and had it on a little with some bubbles and felt weird and hard. So bare screen till i see a glass that works well(hopefully within 1-2 days)

ALPHA Glass Review and Case test will be live on my channel soon !!
THE OtterBox Alpha Glass review and case compatibility test will be up on my channel shortly.. GPEL, as well as others will be up following after that..
GravX

I would love to find one that plays well with the Ringke slim fit case (or really any case for that matter). Thanks for your work on this.....I will certainly be checking your YouTube channel!

Gpel on Spigen Tough Armor? Got both just haven't applied Gpel yet

Ooh! This'll be really useful as I'm definitely interested in glass screen protectors, especially the so-called case-friendly ones. I saw this one by Zagg and I do wonder, with the $50 price tag, is it just as good as the cheaper ones on the market or is it better than those? Like do you get what you pay for, sorta thing.

Was it a wet install

Was the armor suite a wet install or a dry one?

I have the zag one.. for the Regular S8 and it seems pretty case friendly ..

Ready to see the gpel. Not sure if it's just my old s5 or what but you were a little hard to hear with your last video I watched.

Just checked the fit for the case you are talking about

Turns out Caseology cases and ringke slim fit are identical and the Gpel does fir the caseology one. My Gpel video will be up soon. Check out how it fits with all the cases.. It truly does seem compatible with every case I tested...Spigen,caseology,Otterbox,Vrs Designs and a no name ultra slim fit case... If you have any questions please let me know.

I've never like Otterbox cases as I found them to be too bulky for my liking. My limit on thickness is basically the Spigen Slim Armor cares. Also, didn't think I'd like this glass protector anyway, with how all of the sensors are covered...
The Zagg one seems to be similar to the Otterbox one, in how the adhesive is only on the sides of the glass. I remember seeing other people here who got it have VERY mixed thoughts.

Yeah, I had that problem too. Was watching it on my 2nd monitor and had to turn up the volume a lot, since my usual volume for watching vids was too low.
Also, can't wait to see the GPEL review. Funny enough, I saw the protector on Amazon... and it has some very mixed reviews.....

Hey, the key to the wet installs are soaking them with water.. The way I always do it ..and I get a perfect install everytime.. no dust no bubble..just pure perfection... Go into your bathrrom... clean a workspace large enough to work on.. IE your sink.. clean the sink..wash your hands very well.. First turn the shower on and make it nice and steamy hot.. your phone will love the romantic environment!! ( just kidding) after there is a lot of steam all the dust particles will be out of the air.. Now you can get to work!.. Clean your screan with the wet cleaning solution and make sure you have some of that dust removal stickers they give you.. I have also youse brand name scotch tape very gently to avoid the residue sticking.. you just want to make sure all the particles are off your screen.. make sure your phone is off.. Once your sure all the particles are off the screen.. douse your screen with the wet solution and douse the back of your new protector with it as well.. the wetter the better :good::good: after that's done line up your screen protector..use a point of reference.. like the sensors or the ear peace and the bottom. once its lined up ... start applying it slowly...don't be afraid to drag it.. since you pretty much submerged it .. should slide nice.. get a credit card and start gentlely pulling the water from the center out little by little.. done worry that its soaking wet and the air is full of steam in 1-3 days all that moisture will be gone gone gone.. the edges might need a little finess sing to get them to stick down.. if they are not sticking. Make sure its wet enough.. the curves like the wetness ...make sure all the air bubbles are out.. once your satisfied they are gone... let your screen dry.. it should take about 8-12 hours to really set and in 24 hours your safe to put a case on it... 48 hours all the little bubbles or mini halo effects should be gone.. always works for me !! hope this helped!

Spigen tough armor and tempered glass dont play nice. Even broke the temlered glass.
Will go look at the zagg at tmo store and get if it pits.

Who actually uses screen protectors?

Just curious how many people on XDA that have the Captivate and actually use one. (If you do, post the name and what you think)
The Gorilla Glass seems pretty tough to scratch. Anyone have any scratches?
got three of them on ebay for $1.60. I like them... Some day when I take it off to sell it my screen will be PERECT, not "only a few small scratches" and bump the selling price up a few bucks.
its gorilla glass you're wasting your 1.60! doesnt scratch.
$1.60 is a small price to pay just for that little bit of extra insurance... And it is possible to scratch gorilla glass - I did it to my bricked captivate. Thats what happens when you absent mindedly slip your phone into the same pocket your keys are in

But why would you sell the Captivate! Never! It's amazing, .
So do you even realize you have a screen protector on? Smooth?

this is the stupidest post ive seen all day. it CAN scratch. you have been sold on a product that works really well to prevent scratches better than most.. but still its not perfect, i have slipped my captivate out of one pocket and into another that had a penny in it and it made one small but long scratch.
a screen protector would have easily prevented this from happening....
I just received 3 screen protectors for $1.57 from ebay today. Just put it on and it's barely noticeable other than a haze while the screen is off.
I got them because I'm afraid scratching my screen. (My screen already has several micro scratches that are only noticeable when light shines on it at odd angles.)
I got the matte body cover from phantomskinz, including a screen protector. I can't tell it's there, and it's really smooth (compared to invisibleSHIELD)
Plus the matte body looks really snazzy
Nice thanks for the info peeps!
I was looking into getting a case through casemate...
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Cap...color=20&start=2&cgid=samsung-captivate-cases
And it turns out they give you a screen protector.
I use the ones available at the att stores. I am VERY picky when it comes to these things, this one is crystal clear, and difficult to tell its on there..
After a little practice ( I went through one package just practicing) I am now easily able to get it on without a single bubble or hair in the first try. Best $10 I've spent on a phone accessory.

Right! and the GPS works flawlessly too.. it actually scratches easier than I thought it would. Protectors are a wise investment imo.
it maybe be scratch resistant but not scratch proof. IMO its foolish to take any unnecessary risks damaging your screen.
Im using SGP Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint screen protectors... installs real easy and durable..

You are right ANYTHING can be scratched. See here http://www.amfed.org/t_mohs.htm notice quartz (found in sand regularly found in a pocket) and glass are right at the same level....
I have tried SOOO many screen protectors over the years. From the cheepies you buy at the ATT store, to the really expensive full phone wraps. I HATE screen protectors like zagg, ghost armor, etc. Yes they cover your phone, but your phone is going to be ugly, and a pain to use. They are sticky, discolored, and textured... all bad things if you are trying not to notice your protector.
The best thing I have found is REALOOK. They are crystal clear, thin, and hard. It feels like glass, and looks like glass. They are $10 for 2 of them, and I have not even had to use my second skin. I put one on my GFs phone at night and she didnt even know for a week she had a screen protector, until I told her. I also heard the SteinHeil screenies are about the same quality, just more expensive.
I actually use a Zagg screen protector, I know a lot of people hate the orange peel look but I don't mind it, it's very smooth under my fingers.
I'm in the boat too where I just keep it on there just in case, and as a matter of fact, it fell in my car the other day, and hit the underside of one of my seats, put a pretty good gouge in my screen protector, i know it would have scratched it if I hadn't had something on.
all of us cappy owners know that it has gorilla glass, but better safe than sorry. I would rather know I have a 100% free of scratches original screen than some small little scuffs on it without one..
i put on a steinheil ultra crystal clear screen protector.. depending on installation (no air bubbles) you hardly even notice it is there unless you look closely at the edges..
matte screen protectors i truly loathe, because it distorts the image and makes it blurry on our superamoled screens.. absolute garbage..
I've found the screen protect that comes with all Outterbox cases to be very nice. I think it was the easiest to install. Also I've used Reallook on my wifes Cappy. It feel the same as the Outterbox but you really need to clean the crap out of the glass for it to work well. It's not as forgiving to get the bubbles smoothed out as the Outterbox one...
In any case make sure to use a good glass cleaner before installing one.

Agreed. It most certainly can be scratched. I have a scratch on mine. Barely noticeable, only at certain angles and in the light is that noticeable. My phone is still naked but I do plan on getting a case from Otterbox when I can.

I have received mine today but I won't be applying it til Monday so until then I would also like some sort of review?
And this photo too... https://www.evernote.com/shard/s68/...73f0dbc0531e/ce4f433e908191be97ebe8af93a5d55a
Note: Although it says wet apply it doesn't actually come with any cleaning cloth, squeegee or spray ... but the cut seems very nice and I like how it is fully cut around the font facing camera and speaker
now i am wondering how to apply this stuff without the squeegee and spray bottle. will just wait for your review then
Shipped fron India? Do you really have to import a screen protector? Why don't you just put it on and post a review, because you're prolly the first and only one.

of course you have to buy your own spray bottle, create spray solution (quite easy actually). Use credit card as the squeegee.
It is a common practice by some seller/manufacturer to save the money.
I am preparing a short photo review as of the moment. Good thing I have this spare spray bottle with leftover solution from my previous skinomi screen protector. I got mine from a local authorized reseller. Will update you guys in a while, then a follow up after 24hrs when the solution and protector totally cures.
I work at the carphone warehouse in the UK and we are an authorized re-seller of ZAGG, but I hate how their protectors look! SO I have decided to give this a go, I am going to wait til I am in work tomorrow tho so I can use our squeegee and spray
Mini Review and Installation
The bad.
It only comes with the Gadget Shieldz. No squeegee and no solution spray.
The good.
It is clear, very thin, no yellowish tint and cut precisely.
Prep Up. If it is your first time to install a wet apply screen protector, I highly recommend removing the battery.
Clean the screen. I used wet and dry wipes and blow up dust particles with my rocket blower.
Squeaky Clean.
Spray the whole film with solution or water on the sticky side. Line em up. You won't have a hard time aligning this thing because its nearly the same cut as the screen. Just align the earpiece and camera hole as a guide.
Don't forget to squeegee out excess solution/water to lessen water haze and bubbles. Technique is to squeegee it out with a plastic card wrapped in a lint free cloth.
Waiting starts. Allow the film to dry and cure itself for about 24hours. Don't squeeze out and put too much pressure on the film.
Some water haze after installation. After 30mins almost 85% of the haze and tiny bubbles were gone.
I am still thinking if I will install the whole kit. I am planning to set the other pieces as a guide for a carbon fiber skin. The film looks great! It is barely there and you wont feel any grippy sensation when swiping back and fort. Unlike the Skinomi and Zagg that I tried before. There is a slight orange peel effect but it is because of squeegeeing out excess solution. I'll get back in 24 hours to upload another shot with the film fully cured.
Feel free to ask any questions! =)
Great review!
Awesome review.

What makes you think Indians can't produce quality products? People like you are the reason why we have to spend so much on stuff that costs nothing. A screen protector is a screen protector no matter how you market or advertise it.
Thanks for posting the mini-review. I've been obsessively researching the various wet-install options, and had narrowed down my options to XO skin, SGP flex, and now this one. For such a good price, I'm going to try the GadgetShieldz. It helps that I happen to be in India for a couple months. I have the original squeegee that came with the Zagg shield (installed on my old Zune), so I'm good to go.
Would appreciate some post-install high-res photos, if you see this post. Thanks again.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I have also ordered the same screen protector for my Nexus.
It would be my first time in applying one and I have certain points to I'm bothered about -
1) I don't happen to have any leftover solution as @snidrx and also do not know how to make one.
2) The swipes and the rocket blower are also missing.
3) any other points to be kept in mind.
Kindly guide me how to go about it and if its safe to have so much liquid around my device. I mean I am concerned if it might enter the main circuitry from the sides.
Thanks.
Steam up your Bathroom, so there is no dust in the air.
I've heard the solution is easily made out of water and just a little bit of soap. But please wait until someone can confirm.

TriboScreen screen protector

After watching that video I had to support the company that made it cause it's a pretty clever system they've come up with. I don't even care for dry install protectors but I had to try it. The fact that not only do you get 2 screen protectors with each order, you get the mold or jig specific to your device which ensures a properly installed protector every time.
I ordered mine off eBay from a seller named icapsale-istt. The product ships from S.Korea...I bought mine on the 9th, late in the evening, it arrived today. Pretty damn fast shipping if you ask me, especially since they estimated it wouldn't get to me until between 6.26.12 - 7.10.12. Obviously I can't do a product review since I don't have my device yet but rest assured I will once I get it installed.
**Update 6.30.12**
Alright fellas, got it on...installation was as straight forward as the video shows except you do have to get some bubbles out. So before you take off the top layer make sure you use the squeegee to get them all out. Unfortunately I got a spec of dust right smack dab in the middle of my screen but it's not noticeable unless the screen is off so for now it stays. First thing I noticed was the rainbow effect on the protector when the screen is off...when it's on I don't see any abnormalities. The screen feels the same as if it were naked. It doesn't cover the whole screen for obvious reasons (beveled edge around the screen) but during normal useage you don't even realize it. No banding, no rainbow effect, very clear, doesn't seem to effect the display negatively at all. Touch sensitivity is no different than without the protector on. The only thing about this is the price, it's pricey. That being said, it's not head and shoulders better than any other dry install protector i've ever used so hard to justify the price unless you're a noob and that concerned with installing one that the included jig will make you rest that much better...or if you're like me and just wanted to support the company who came out with such a setup for their ingenuity.
Overall, it's a nice protector that will ensure proper placement everytime...if only it could prevent dust as well But the price will turn most off, especially for this type of protector considering most of this type are about a quarter of the price or less. There is no rubbery feel on the display and it looks just as beautiful as it did when it was naked. I give this product an 8/10 only because of the price, would have been a 9 otherwise.
If I was not getting a otterbox defender I would get this. I hate putting screen protectors on wrong and this makes it so you can't.
yeah let us know how well they work. I am interested in seeing some close up shots of it installed as well.
I just purchased one as well!
I'm currently in S.korea and the SS3 isn't even out here yet, I wonder if I can get these here.
It's probably a lot cheaper here (just look at the prices of SGP in Korea compared to the rest of the world).
And does the screen protector cover the whole glass area?

How did it go?
Just got this in yesterday. Took off my XtremeGuard, and these screen protectors are pretty crystal clear and nice.
One problem is their cut. Unless if you have a case, they do not cover the whole phone but for good reason. The phone is a bit curved near the ends so if the hard plastic stretched all the way out it would float and not stick at all.
These are also reusable. To reinstall or reapply I suggest getting a lint remover, peeling off one of the tapes and just sticking your screen protector on it. This way it will remove any dust and you can reapply it.
It also feels great, if you have sweaty or oily hands, this screen protector will accommodate you. Application was easy, I just had a difficult time due to my dogs shedding in the summer heat... they are leaving a lot of hair around.
Summary: I would recommend it. Shipping takes forever though, like 2 to 3 weeks.
I can't find them on ebay. Can you guys post a link?

Can you post a picture with your screen protector on? The video never really shows it up close.
i ordered two of these one for me and one for my dad, woulda been nice to know that you get 2 covers in one order and based on the picture only a tiny bit of the glass is not covered by the protector

Thanks given :good: Nah man, it feels good. When I first installed an XtremeGuard, as much as I like that protector, it was noticeably tackier than the naked screen. This protectors feels as if it is the naked screen. As for the rainbow thing, yep, exactly as you just said. but turn the phone on and look for the rainbows or any other display defect and you're gonna be hard pressed.

Well then im sold I was a bit nervous about ordering a protector off of ebay, but this review helps a lot. And as far as the rainbow thing, doesn't bother me if its only when the screen is off (not like there's anything to see when its off) haha

Well glad I can help you out a bit. I feel the same....although I was very worried when I seen the rainbow effect before I turned the screen on. I have 3 XtremeGuards in hand but i'm not putting them on unless this one needs to be replaced for some reason.

Thats a smart decision. Im gonna order the SGP nano protector just in case the tribo doesn't workout for some reason.
only thing im worried about is if the edges will lift up due to the screen being curved

[Q]Best BUDGET Screen protector

Hey everyone, I couldn't figure out whether this should be in QnA or Accessories, but I figured it should be here.
Anyway, is there any known brands that do screen protectors, but at a reasonable price.
I know about ZiggZagg etc, but spending £15 on a screen protector to me is ludacrus, they come off/start peeling after not so long, so I couldn't imagine paying that for 1!.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated !!!
Umm... the One X has gorilla glass? You don't need a screen cover. That's like trying to wear a sock over your shoe to protect it from the ground....

1 - Its nothing like trying to wear a sock over a shoe thats a stupid analogy
2 - I would of liked a suggestion thanks.
Actually i just ordered the dynaflo hard shield, but i've search for other screen protectors in case it won't be as good as i thought.
I came across skinomi screen protector wich look pretty great and covers almost the entire screen...it cost around 12$ (i dunno what's your budget but i think its pretty cheap..) here's a video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otwcex1_uJg
hope it helps...

I have learnt the hard way that gorilla glass can not be trusted any more...
That's a shame as it was perfect on my Desire Z...
Hox screen is filled with micro starches out of nowhere....

Hense I want a screen protector.
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND ONE ?!?!?!
I would stay clear of SGP ultra oleophobic...
Its nearly impossible to install correctly, picks up dirt quite easily and the rainbow effect is all over the place...
The only things i like it that it doesn't go round the edges so it wont peel off and the feel of the protector is almost identical to the HOX glass...
For the price i paid not very satisfied since i ruined the 1st one upon installation!
Best Skins Ever .
www.bestskinsever.com
You can either get full body or screen only protection.
Cheapest price, BEST quality, the touch and feel is amazing.
I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6x-Clear-LC...901133?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4abb2d7fcd
unless u spend good money i find that most screen protectors are about the same. when i get them ill see how they stand up
I feel exactly the same as you. I've been looking for a decent screen protector since I got my One X. Unfortunately I can't advise you on any good ones as I haven't found one yet, but I can tell you don't bother with the official HTC one. I paid something like £8 (if I remember rightly) thinking it's the official one so it should be good but it didn't even fit the phone due to the curved edges. The edges were raise all around it which looked awful.
I'd be interested if anyone does recommend a decent one for a reasonable price.
And for the record, gorilla glass does scratch. It's not things like sharp objects that are the problem but minute grains of dust and sand rubbing against it. It scratches very easily under certain circumstances, such as in a gritty pocket or a pocket with sand in it.
well ijust recieved the ones from ebay... its clear but the protector doesnt cover the edges and ends like .2 in from the bottom
Well, the best that I have use so far is Skinomi. Have gone through all others and end up going back to Skinomi as it is the only which cover from edge to edge. The one who don't tend to collect dust on the side and it just annoying

Capdase makes pretty good screen protectors. Only thing you should be protecting your phone against is sand.
Thanks for all suggestions !
By the looks of it Skinomi looks best for me.
How is the install process, easy?
Does it catch dust or is it a clean install if that makes sense?
Thanks !!
Install process is not as difficult as dsbg, just make sure that your hand is wet

let me know what you think about it, i was thinking about buying this myself.
for me, sometimes my screen isn't slick enough when my thumb drags across it and im hoping a screen protector will help

Bestskinsever are the best skins ever, super cheap, great support, i can recomend them enough
Hi,
i use bestskinever and i am very happy with it. The skin goes frome edge to edge and is very easy to install. I also compared it with de XO Skin which is much more expensive and coud not see andy diference.
Decided to stick with my 6 for £2 protectors
I Bought Gorillagard from Amazon for £5.99. It does not cover the whole screen but slightly wider than the ones just cover the center off the screen. The good thing about this screen protector is that if it gets dirty all you have to do is peel it off, wash it with water and stick it back on. It uses static to stick to the screen. The edges are a problem though but i ain't too fussed about it.

Order day

Dont get a glass protector, they dont hold proprely, even the ones that get glued to the screen with uv glue.
Get the official samsung plastic protector, you get two for 12 bucks and they are pretty decent.

I dont see many small scratches on mine, its been on for a month or more and it is still pretty decent, yes it is case friendly, i got an orrerbox symetry series and the screen mrotector doesnt peel off.
For me its the best plastic screen protector.

If you are brave enough to do wet installation and have patience, I highly recommend the following one:

I'm using Spigen Tempered GLAStR and the Incipio Dualpro case - No issues with either - Spigen stays on and no issues with dust getting underneath (some have reported all kinds of issues with adhesion and dust) - But I suspect that they didn't prepare the surface properly before installing the screen protector... And it fits perfectly with the Dualpro.

Okay i ordered this one i hope i install it properly lol
Just be patient. I find bathroom after shower us the best place to apply the screen protector. Dust particles are settled after shower. After you apply the front of the screen, wait about 10 minutes then start working on the sides. Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer at a low heat setting. Good luck.
One more thing, unlike other protectors, this one has a total of three 'layers'
1.peel off #1, discard the layer with#2 sticker (Make sure you are discarding the frosted layer and not the clear one with glue side. I noticed that Sticker numbers are not consistent).
2. Spray on the glue side, place on the phone, work out bubbles, no worries about attaching the sides as they wont attach
3. Wait 5-10 minutes. Now carefully, hold#1 sticker and peel off the top layer. . A thin transparent layer will remain attached to phone. Now atrach the sides.
4.Let the phone sit overnight, you will have crystal clear screen protector in the morning.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it does take about 24-48 hours to clear up the bubbles and rainbow effect. Was there any reason that you could not squeeze out the bubbles during installation? Just curious. I normally add a drop of soap in the spray bottle and spray on the protector and the phone screen (just a mist). You get more control in adjusting the and squeezing the bubbles out.
I am glad you got it installed and it should be all good in a day or so. Take care.
