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.

Don't waste money on...

Expensive glass screen protectors like glassTr or whatever else. I got one of the 8$ tempered glass screen protectors off eBay and. Have been rocking it about a month now. Thing looks beautiful and is tempered and oleophobic or whatever it's called. Went on perfect the first time and I love the feel if the glass. Just like the original screen. Have had zero issues with touch sensitivity or anything

I agree. Spent $5.00 from ebay and about 3 weeks shipping from China. I even purchased another one just case .

Can you post some ebay links?
John.

I'm sure these glass protectors look good initially, but what I'd be interested in seeing is how they hold up long term after several months. My understanding is some of the cheaper glass protectors have issues lifting at the edges due to poorly made adhesive. I have an iLoome incoming and I'm worried even it will have lifting issues.
This seems to be the cheapest seller currently. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Perfect-Qua...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item51b23a2b92

I actually had a spigen glass screen protector before , removed it due to bad installation and bought a 8$ one . Found to be exactly the same. no issues what so ever.
Spigen and mime or w.e they are , are all ripoffs. just buy a aftermarket one. They also replace it for free if its not delivered to you in pristine condition.

Much sure you are applying in a relatively dust free area. Bubbles that won't come out are usually dust getting stuck between the screen and the protector. The glass protectors are less likely to get bubbles from non dust issues. I bought a MIME and while expensive at 25 bucks, it came with a tack sheet that removes any dust that you might not see.
If the cheap glass protectors work for you, great. 25 bucks is not a lot to spend on a 600+ phone in my opinion.

That is not a glass screen protector. I have had them. They are made of plastic. If you can get them on without bubbles, they work great but there is a stickiness to them that some like, I do not, so I wanted a real glass protector.

I like the water trick. Clean it up real good with the provided cleaning cloth and make sure its 100% dry. Then mist the screen with a spray bottle and apply the screen protector. Use the card to work out bubbles. Works every time.

I agree to a point. If even the smallest dust particle gets on the screen after cleaning it, you will get a bubble that is difficult, if not impossible, to remove. It is hard to have a "dust free" environement in a home.
The nice thing is I have wrecked a few of the plastic film protectors and the companies always just sent a new one.
I have had probably 20 devices over the past 2 years so I think I have tried about every brand of protector on the market
The glass protectors are the best for me. They feel like using the naked device. The plastic protectors always have a "sticky" feel to them and none lasted more than a few months before having issues with edge peel, discoloring, etc.

I had a Muvit Screen Guard for about 8 euro's.
It included two of these large protectors fitting screens up to 6.8" and you have to cut out to the right size yourself. They worked splendid for me. I sent in my HTC One for repair and the repair people scratched the screen, or rather the protector. Not a single thing on the real glass though so mission accomplished! And the scratches on the protector were pretty deep, so I agree. A cheap protector is just as good at protecting against reasonable damage done by keys or other sharp edges in say, your pocket or purse.
Now I'm using the screen protector the repair center included when sending my device back home.

A few people has posted to turn the hot water on with the shower running. Let it get steamy in there and it will take the dust out of the air. Then put your screen protector on in the bathroom and the dust element should be eliminated.

I 'wasted' my money on a GlassTr screen protector for my One. Was a little suspicious of the Ebay ones - probably wrongly so. It was I think very expensive but has fitted well and thus far working well. I'll never go back to those plastic 'things' again. Managed to get one spec of dust trapped under but other than that it's crystal clear, very smooth to the touch and phone just as responsive to the touch. Too early to comment on how it's wearing but looks good so far.

I got one of the cheapie eBay ones. I've had it about two months and haven't had any issues, save one... The glass doesn't completely cover the screen. You would think it would cover the entire black area on the face, but mine was cut about 1mm too short! Since it does cover the entire visual area, I decided it didn't bother me enough to go through the process of replacing it.
I used the hinge method, and did not have any issues with bubbles or dust on the screen.

Normally the saying goes, you get what you pay for. True for many things, however there are always exceptions. Going to try one of these! Thanks

I took the advice every one has suggested to fit screen protector tape down one side as hinge in bathroom with hot water running washed hands cleaned phone and screen even cleaned screen protector before removing plastic and it went on like a dream. Bought my screen protector from empire but can't recommend them due to carry on getting sent a protector packaged in thinner cardboard than a cereal pack so received it smashed then they sent me another in better packaging but doesn't say empire anywhere so not sure if it's there's but it works and iam happy although mine doesn't fully cover black area it's out about 2 to 3 mill but doesn't bother me .

Yeah I Agree

I've got the iloome, it's been on two months now and I've not had one problem.

I got a glass protector from ebay and I have a huge bubble in the lower left hand corner. Do those go away or should I reapply?

You could just buy tech amor screen savers from amazon, free replacements for life. I requested a new set of 3 and I got it for free, didn't pay postage or anything. Basically free screens for a while.

[Q] Moto X Screen Protectors ?

Hello Folks,
I know there are loads of screen protector threads out there but none of them are recent for the MotoX.
I have had an XtremeGuard Protector on my X for a few months, but the gummyness, orange peel and lack of screen sensitivity is killing me.
What are some good current options that are $15 or under ?
Thanks,
Pete

I'm currently using the SUPCASE Screen protector that came with my case: has everything I need to get it on once and only once(even comes with a lint remover film). Looks and feel great. I don't know what you mean by 'gummyness though, the only screen protector I would describe that has a gummy-like feel(especially when I pinch with my fingernail is the Skinomi brands.

I'll second these. I had the ArmorSuit and it was terrible. These are cheap, durable and don't negatively affect the screen.I've been using one for over 2 months and it still looks fine.

The screen protectors from Motorola are very good.

I bought a couple of the Mimeusa.com glass screen protectors, one for my wife and another for myself. Installed mine first, its a little different installing such a stiff protector, luckily i was able to lift it back up easily a couple times to adjust the positioning.
The wifes I installed a couple hours after, and it felt like it gave me more problems. didn't want to get positioned right, but eventually I got it lined up well.
The next day it fell off in her car while she was driving and got covered in dirt and dust on the adhesive side.
Mine is still on, after 2 weeks of use;
The texture is awesome! i hate most screen protectors, but this is glass and feels so good to the touch. you hardly notice its there.
It hasn't taken and scratches, and it does feel like fingerprints are less noticeable than on the bare screen.
I don't have a case of my X yet, ordered a bumper from amazon, but its not here yet.
I feel that the protector gathers small fibers easily at the edge. there are a couple of very small fibers that have worked there way just under the edge of the glass. They are hardly noticeable, especially when the screen is on.
I have not seen any new accumulation since the first few days, so maybe its more prone to catching the fibers in the hours / day after installation. I would advise avoiding pockets for 24 hours after installing this product if you can.
I will probably use this screen protector until it chips/breaks/gets too scratched up, and then go naked screen for the rest of the phones life.

If you are intending to spend $15 for a screen protector, might as well get a tempered glass one. I'm using this one: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Motorola-Ultra-Thin-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00E0CUP18/
If you installed it correctly the first time, it should stay stuck and without any bubbles.

I would just like to throw out my support for Liquid Armor. I use it on all of my touchscreen devices, and have never had a scratch on a screen since, and it feels just like glass, without anything on it. The best part is that the one bottle can be used for several screens. Though if you don't use it in a couple months, the stuff will harden in the nozzle of the bottle, making it more difficult to use.

Disclaimer: I posted this in a couple other threads, but I wanted to try and post it where I know we've been discussing tempered glass screen protectors.
Here's some pictures of the redesigned i-Blason protector. As you can see, there is now a cutout for the proximity sensor. The corners also fit the Moto X perfectly (their old design fit perfectly too). Very happy I finally have a protector that FITS and where the proximity sensor won't be blocked! I liked the i-Blason until I had started having proximity sensor issues because I had dropped it several times, and it never once cracked, unlike the MIME, which cracked the very first time I dropped it.

i have tempered glass on my moto X ( mimeusa.com/product/moto-x-ghost-glass-screen-protector/ ) since january.
it was very easy to install and the feel is wonderful. my only complaint is that when you drop your phone, it can crack. better a crack on the protector than a scratch on the device, right? my phone has been pretty suicidal lately, what w/ jumping off tables, so it has accumulated many cracks on the protector. i am replacing it (with same ghost glass) and also buying a bumper case ... that may make a difference in the life span of the protector.
this is my first glass protector and yes i like it. on previous devices i used zagg screen protectors and was VERY HAPPY with them, but when i ordered their protector for the moto X, i found that they must have screwed up on the device specs, as the film didn't even cover the entire viewing screen. UNACCEPTABLE! i will not go back to their products.

I had the MIMEUSA and was very happy with the feel of the MIMEUSA, but it didn't fit properly. The corners were too squared and extended over the screen. The edges were also suppose to be beveled to prevent chipping but mine seemed like they were beveled out, leaving a lip on the glass. This all led to the edges chipping and eventually a larger break.
I ordered the i-Blason to try it and am very happy. The fit is perfect, its quite a bit thinner than the MIMEUSA, and it feels just as slick and smooth as the MIMEUSA and the glass screen. I would recommend the i-Blason over the MIMEUSA. And the i-Blason is only $17 on Amazon making it about the same price as the high quality plastic protectors.

Found a great film protector

Not many post on XDA but I promise you I do not work for this company lol. I've been searching forever for a good screen protector and glass is off the table. Whitestone is too expensive and I know I'd mess it up! I've gone through several brands of films on Amazon that have good/moderate reviews but they have all had poor coverage or just didn't stick down on the edges, and I consider myself a pro at installing films. Found a new one that claimed it used new technology to create a tpu type film and took a gamble on it as there where no reviews/ratings. I am pleased to announce that with proper care putting it on its flawless, adheres 100% to the sides and is almost unnoticeable by touch or look. (Except for that it's film and not glass) I will note however that be careful installing as the adhesive is very strong, and getting dust out after installing is near if not impossible. I'll post pics tomorrow of the product and a pic of my phone with it installed!

Honestly I just got tired of looking for screen protectors. I made this account on XDA forever ago and decided that since I'd finally found one I'd just like to share my experience to maybe save some others frustration. I always lurk around here, have since the Moto a855 days, just never get on and post.
If someone does decide to try one of these protectors and chimes in that'd be great as I know my low post count doesn't make me look very believable lol

I got mine on without bubbles, but I learned very quickly the adhesive is extremely strong on these screen protectors and getting tiny bubbles out is very hard. You have to choose a large one and push it around through all the smaller ones. As far case usage goes, they fit snug and the only case I own is a OtterBox Symmetry which I have no problems with.
In the description and picture it states these have a 9H rating, and while I've had mine on since Friday without any scratches I have to call BS on that claim. They are a tpu film, feel like film, definitely don't feel like glass but are 100% crystal clear. They seems fairly durable compared to some other PET films I've used, and they are much thicker/heavy duty. (Can't tell once applied however)

Orange peel? Or completely flat like PET

No orange peel at all. 100% smooth like PET. I can't stand wet apply protectors because of the orange peel/clarity so I've never used them. Always stuck to cheap PET and this is very similar.
Like I said though, I can't stress enough to be careful putting it on as it has a very strong adhesive. It is still easy to take off and leaves no residue, but getting dust/dirt/hair out after is impossible. It's not like normal PET that uses static.
I did get a short piece of hair on mine when installing, which I'd normally remove or put on a new film after, but with the adhesive and TPU this seems to have just molded around it and it's almost not noticable. Leaves no air as the protector won't push back up. I'm very OCD with my protectors.
EDIT: Also, another note is that where this is a hard TPU film I have noticed it resist scratches very well but will indent like the wet apply protectors when force is applied such as with a finger nail. It does seem to recover after awhile. Funny how it's a TPU that feels like film. Also, 4 days now and no signs of peeling/no scratches. My phone is in and out of my pants pocket all day long.

No orange peel at all. 100% smooth like PET. I can't stand wet apply protectors because of the orange peel/clarity so I've never used them. Always stuck to cheap PET and this is very similar.
Like I said though, I can't stress enough to be careful putting it on as it has a very strong adhesive. It is still easy to take off and leaves no residue, but getting dust/dirt/hair out after is impossible. It's not like normal PET that uses static.
I did get a short piece of hair on mine when installing, which I'd normally remove or put on a new film after, but with the adhesive and TPU this seems to have just molded around it and it's almost not noticable. Leaves no air as the protector won't push back up. I'm very OCD with my protectors.
EDIT: Also, another note is that where this is a hard TPU film I have noticed it resist scratches very well but will indent like the wet apply protectors when force is applied such as with a finger nail. It does seem to recover after awhile. Funny how it's a TPU that feels like film. Also, 4 days now and no signs of peeling/no scratches. My phone is in and out of my pants pocket all day long.

Use a piece of scotch tape to remove any dust the gets behind it. Just peel up your screen protector then use the tape (sticky side to screen protector sticky side) to pull any dust or hair off the inside.

I tried that. Tape stuck to the adhesive on the film and when pulling off left a mark where the tape was on it. Like I said, the screen protector has a strong adhesive and doesn't use static. Usually only static pet protectors can have dust removed with tape. In this case, the adhesive on the film is stronger than tape.

How's it holding up a week later?

great screen protector
thanks OP for recommending this
I installed mine a bit over a week ago and have to say fairly impressed with it. It is stronger than your normal PET protectors (doesn't get micro scratches easily) and has very strong adhesive as the OP mentioned (great for the edges).
I did buy the case friendly version though instead of the full screen one

As far as install is concerned - If you have a rubber squeegee (had one from the armorsuite products) it will help greatly. Combine that with the hinge method and you will get a really good install.
Cons
You have to be pretty damn exact for the borders. There is really no room for error.
Not glass but I am definitely happy with it.

I bought a wet install film screen protector and I am loving it... No touch sensitivity issues, easy to install, and self heals scratches... I have used it on on a few past phones as well as smartwatches and have never had any issues with them.

It’s Supershieldz for me.

Got these today. Chuck is right, they are somewhat a pain to install but the result is great. Recommend.

Does the material of the Jolojo feel rubbery like other films do or is it smoother with less friction?

Accessories Screen Protector for OnePlus 11!

Suggest me a good quality screen protector to get for the OnePLus 11 which I'm going to get on 7th Feb!

As always for, a real good quality is glass screen protector from Aliexpress, 2pcs for around 10-15USD, glue and UV light.
I have used cheap chinese glass protectors for my Iphone 12, OP7Pro, OP 8T and always was very happy with them.
The only other and real alternative for me is a synthetic sapphire glass protector for ~100USD. All the other protector between them are pretty much the same in the long run.

Isn't that the UV and glue protector sticks completely like a superglue and it's very hard to remove it, saw some videos about them.
I've seen the Sapphire glass protector it is great but too expensive for me! I've my eyes on Spigen, Gadgetshieldz screen guard, and ESR but I want a user experience so I can buy one for my phone.

Not at all, they are quite easy to remove. At least Mocolo ones.

I believe the screen is exactly the same size? The protector fits perfectly on the screen.

Nice, I'll check out some tempered glass brands, or else I'm going to get a film protector from Gadgetshieldz because the tempered glass on a curved-display phone will break more easily than on a flat-screen phone! I've seen reviews on drop tests where the glass breaks because the case will not fully cover the curved edges.

I don't use screen protector.
After 4 years using a 6T, i just got a very thin line only visible under light and close inspection. Moreover, a 45Kg dummbell fell exactly over the screen phone (it was on the floor) and....crystal clear, not even a single mark or damage/deformation on the screen. ¿The almost invisible scratch? Carrying both phone and keys toguether, or even worse but it's plausible. I also owned the Nexus 4/5 and Moto Z Force and don't remember any scratch, at least no one to be concerned.
It's not the answer to you question but just a suggestion, don't spoil the touch/slide feeling, cleariness, and clean look of a naked screen. Of course you can get one of those stupid pseudo-"tempered glass" 9H (it's actually cheap polymer plastic), ... or a simple plastic one wich will be always shady due to have dozens of fingerprints (it's oil after all) without remedy) and will left a yellowish tint over the surface of the crystal (this is a fact, not my subjective impression).
Oh, i remember my Nexus 4, i also thought screen protector was a must, well after a year, i gor rid of it (the tint left by the plastic was there) and never looked behind.
And now we (I) have a more shadows fae beyond like turning a 799$ high end phone (Apple/samsung/former Huawei/etc consider OP10 not a high end (i don't want to say flagship) a mid range ) in a 206g brick.
Bumper case is another story. Now using the 1+ Sandstone and the same issue as with OP6T again, ****, the slider is almost unreachable to be operated propertly. I have been using a generic silicon case while i was waiting the new case, and slider hole was fine, hey, 1,89$ in AliExpress. I just bought it (the same) from Amazon for 10€, of course returned it with a random excuse when i got the new case. I will probably order half a dozen from Ali just to try.
I wass expecting the horror with ColOrxygenOS, but for the moment i havent suffered a stroke

I've never used screen protectors either. I've got 2 front pockets - one for my keys and one for my phone. It's not that hard. Anything that would actually damage the screen would shred the protector and damage your screen anyway. I've never had any scratches on my screens and a screen protector is not going to save you from an unlucky drop. I really don't see the point.

Stopped counting how many times I dropped my phone and it was saved by a glass screen protector - I would probably say dozens of time and I usually go through 2-3 protectors on each phone in average, depending how long I can live with a look of cracked protector before replacing it.
With typical, accidental drops the additional glass layer absorbs the impact and the phone just bounces of the impact area. In my personal experience for last 10 years with HTC M7, M9, Oneplus 7 Pro, Oneplus 8T and iPhone 12, I have never encountered a drop forceful enough to penetrate the protective layer and damage the actually screen glass under it.
Sure, it is possible but never happened to me when dropping phone from front jacket pocket heights, pants pocket height, going in or out of the car with a phone in the hand, pushing the phone from shelf or the bathroom sink etc.
Last week I removed my uv glass screen protector from OP7Pro that I was preparing for a trade in and it looked perfect and if I would want to trade it locally I would get a slightly better price for a mint condition screen rather than a used one for 5 years.

I've had pretty good luck with film over the years and the ONLY reason I started using them is they don't attract finger prints as bad as glass.

For some reason I started using tempered glass ones for the year I had an iphone 12 pro. I broke like 4 of them, it was ridiculous. I stopped using them after a few months and never did manage to hurt the screen, even though I broke the "protectors" left and right. And I use my phones in industrial applications (Im an industrial maintenance tech), they take some abuse.
Fwiw this phone comes with a film protector already applied out of the box. I haven't removed it yet and it's been fine so far.

Exactly. I'll leave the pre-installed screen protector on until it looks like ****. But when it's time to take it off, I won't replace it. Did the same with my 6T.

I see here people have said the 10 pro screen protectors fit, now that a lot more people have the phone has anyone tried this with any tempered glass ones with success?

Any OnePlus 10 Pro screen protector will work on the 11 since the screen (in physical size) is the same.
I use film protectors for a couple of years now and pretty happy with them
SmartDevil on aliexpress released good film protectors for a fair price

4 days ago I ordered the SmartDevil glass since it seems to be a chinese copy of Whitestone glass with the entire bundle (minus the glue foams for the bracket).
I ordered also 2 no name glass screens on 9th of February but it still in shipping, no idea if it will be delivered.
I was curious about the SmartDevil bundle so we will see how much does it actually helps and what is the quality of the bracket.

Yes, tempered glasses always break often so as I said before a film protector and a case covering the edges of the screen is enough for protection!
