I was just wondering if anyone had got a screen protector yet and if so which ones people recommend?
SE already applied a screennprotector on the screen. Looks closely and you'll notice it, it's almost invisible.
yea no need to get a new one. no point on having two screen protectors.

With most screenprotectors you can easily remove them by pressing with your nail at the edge of the protector (press it parallel tot the screen). I don't think the X10 protector will be any different.
I think zagg has a invisible shield for it.. but zagg is overpriced!
there's already a screen protector on it?? i just picked one up from rogers today.. and all there is was a piece of cheap plastic with air bubbles everywhere
Yes, screen protectors.
This is the best quality/price protector. from 3M, not glue for stick to the screen, anti-static, and washable, can be remove a put back. No buble.

Remove that piece of bubbles and below that piece is an screenprotector already applied to the screen. Look closely at the edges.
I have just got mine yesterday from Rogers as well. I can see the edging you talk about where it seems there is a protector on it, but after several attepmts, I can not get a corner to lift. I am certain that it is not a removable screen protector.

best way to remove screen protectors is to use scotch tape ~ stick it on a corner tighten it by pulling away from the phone and lift ~ try several time and different corners if it doesn't lift. i've done it with thousands of phones as i used to work @ places that applies them ~ works every time

I do not want to remove it. I'm a fan of using screen protectors as having a permanently scratched screen makes me cry. So I want to make sure I do have one and if not, to get one ASAP. So I tried to lift a corner to see if it indeed does have a protector applied. Even after reading these posts and the link that was directed to me I can not remove this alleged protector that's already on my screen.
It's funny, because I have watched some un-boxing videos and some show screen protectors that came in the box with the device. (Rogers does not) I'm curious to as why that would be if there is one already on the device. Is it that it was an "extra" protector or merely one that was expected to be placed on by the user; where as the Rogers version apparently has theirs already installed by the manufacturer?
It's hard to get a definite answer as people post here from many many different countries. Each x10 launch in the countries has been different in some way. Some with the screen protector in box like I mentioned, some with a 8gb sdcard, some with a 16gb, some with a head set AND the mw600 in the box, some with just the ear phones and no mw600...
So I still stand by my own findings, I can not remove this invisible screen protector, using tape, or the other tricks floating around, making me believe that it does not have a "typical" screen protector that is applied on top of the actual screen. A few calls to various local Rogers stores has yielded zero results in confirmation, with all 3 saying , "No, the x10 does not come with a screen protector in the box" when I ask "what about it being already installed" and they scoff saying they have never heard of that.
hmmm.. if that's the case then i think i should buy a screen protector. mines Rogers x10 too.
Zagg screen protector
I bought the Zagg invisi-shield after i saw one on an iphone. Took me a good 45 mins to get it on with out any bubbles. I think its worth the extra cash as you get full body coverage and it improves the grip - so it doesn't feel like its gonna slip out of your hands all the time (a must for me as i habbit of droping things like this).
Also i'm not a fan of silicon covers or leather pouches - whats the point of spending money on a good looking phone like the X10 and then have to cover it up??? Show it off i say!!!

May I ask you, is it a fingerprint magnet?
I'm planning to buy full body protector too because my white x10 looks kinda ugly with fingerprints all over the body
I like my Invisible shield too, no its not so sensitive for fingerprits than the original screen protector.

Not at all, before i had the shield on i was constantly wiping with a lens cloth. If you have mega greasy fingers then you will leave a mark, but with normal every day use i'm not having to wipe off fingerprints.

Agreed.. Took my screen protector off about a month ago and it's still mint
Sent from my X10a using Tapatalk
it comes with a pre applied screen protector, and yes my phone wistanded so much friction and the screen is still as it was out of the box
I removed the screen protector after about a week after I got it, up to now it's still in mint condition. I look at it under the bright sunlight to see if there is any scratch recently, but I found none. So, I believed that it is true, that it is using a mineral glass and scratch resistant, but not scratch proof...
Hey same my screen is pretty mint with one month or normal usage with only the hidden screen protector. I do not think that the screen is scratch resistant but more like the hidden screen protector is.
IMHO I wouldn't take off the preapplied protector unless u replace it right away. I took off the protector when I got it and now my screen is really scratched up. There's even an imprint from when it came into contact with a hot lighter.

Lucky you took the protector off. It would have melted and been stuck permanently. How would you have taken melted plastic off the glass?
mine survived beach use... pretty tough
so i guess the x10 screen is scratch resistant after all

I had a fright the other day when I saw what I thought was a crater from where a bit of hot ash had landed, then realised even it was it had a SP on, in fact it's got two because I put another on not knowing it already came with one applied. It was just bit gravy after all, but had it of been ash it could have been nasty was the screen not protected.
And you can obviously show that it's not really "resistant" as such so I'm with you, leave it on or replace it straight away. But each to their own and all that.

This case sucks the outside is allright and will protext but it is ugly and the screen protector is twice as bad both sides are almost impossible to put on without a bubble and even if you do manage to get them on with no bubbles then the adhesive type stuff that makes it stick makes it look dorty and messy its a shame cause it works well and you can only use it once so if you mes up at all you are screwed
good tip, just right now my order on amazon for this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049SVT54 was shipped, do you know how is it ?
never tried it but a lil update tho the back of the phone looks a lil better after a few days of us but the screen protector part is crap
I do not understand why people remove the screen protector in the first place; the phone already comes with one which is perfectly good.

Because screen protectors are ugly crap. The purpose of a screen protector is keeping the screen unscratched during the transportation and storage, until somebody buys the product.
I always remove the screen protector before I start the device for the first time. I bought the device in order to use it not to keep it like a museum exhibit.
BTW, I just LOVE people who buy screen protectors for gorilla glass devices )))

Getting display scratched in a way that cannot repaired except for swapping the display ($$$) is way more ugly, if you ask me.
Yea but you can buy a screen protector that looks clean and cool like it is not even there instead of the original that is ugly and has that little dirty tab that says tear me off I got a great reusable screen protector from tmobile you can't even tell its there I love it and I kept this on the back of my phone cause it does protect it even if it doesnt look quite right its better than a ugly case

It's pretty simple: don't put your phone in the same pocket you put your keys/other stuff in and it won't get scratched) I have mine for ~7 months and I have no scratches on the display.

I bought this screen protector on ebay, but it was amazing. I've been using this for like 3 months now and I have no problems. Applying was easy with no problems and had barely any bubbles. I rate it 5/5.
I got an otterbox of ebay. It came with a screen protector
works great, crystal clear, nice and smooth to the touch, and easy to clean of my greasy hand marks (I work on cars).
I just hate the way the screen looks but the outer part is cool

/gg screen protector
Hi guys, I'm new to Android OS and to Samsung phones, so welcome me! I came from using BlackBerry for years. Never tried iOS, nor owned an iPhone, so I hope I made the right choice.
So there's a scratch already on my phone. I can't tell whether it's on the screen protector or the screen itself... I'm debating whether I should peel the protector off and take a look (obviously losing it in the process).
How do I tell? I'm very obsessed about my new Note, so it's hard for me to not notice.
The screen protector was put on since day 1. The CSR from Future Shop (Best Buy owned in Canada), put it on for me and I sure hope he didn't scratch the screen while applying the cleaning solution, wiping it, etc. before putting on the screen protector (I was watching him do it)... The screen on the Note doesn't scratch easily does it?
im sure its only on the screen protector but that would make me weary of how well it protects. I replaced my screen protector and switched to a sgp protector cause on my original protector the s-pen scratched it....since I switched to sgp I have used the crap out of the s-pen and it hasnt scratched these yet

Thanks for fast reply. What is this SGP protector? I'm going to look into that.
It's a good thing I didn't pay for this ZAGG protector... It was $19.99 lol, they gave it to for free so I'm not so upset about it (as long as it isn't on the ACTUAL screen). I can actually register the product and ask for a replacement (since it's lifetime guarantee), but will cost me $3.99 for shipping.
sgp steinheil screen protectors. These are the only ones I use. they last for ever
here these are fantastic imo

so how did you scratch your screen protector?... with s-pen or something in your pocket with your note?

That's what I've been wondering myself... I'm not sure where the scratch came from because I barely used the S-pen, and the scratch is half an inch long (noticed it on white background).
Anyway, that's what made me to believe that the scratch could be on the screen itself since there is also a little dust particle that I can see under.
Over time, my Zagg looked like it had many scratches and I could not discern whether it was on the screen or Zagg. Eventually, I removed it out of annoyance with the orange peel and tackiness. The Zagg did it's job. I liked other wet protectors more because they felt more like glass and didn't have the orange peel. I'm using a dry SGP now, it's very nice. I'd recommend the SGP over the Zagg any day of the week.

This is another gripe I have about my screen protector... The orange peel feeling and the fact that the S-Pen is HORRIBLE with it. Anyway, I don't use the pen much so it's fine.
I do like it since it hides fingerprints well. I guess I do have to try SGP.. Wet and dry protectors? I'm assuming dry is just the usual adhesive style, while wet is the ZAGG where you have to use the liquid solution?
Here is what my SGP looks like and I have used the s pen alot
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Another thing... the Zagg protector doesn't cover the top right side of the phone as well.
While I did not choose a zagg to put on my gnote, I have used them in the past and they can take some serious abuse! Unless you really smacked, it I doubt the scratch went through.
I went with a sgp since it is clearer and for the s-pen. I wanted the s-pen to have as close to a stock screen as possible and the sgp does that very well.

My concern is if the scratch got onto the screen before the protector is on. Anyway, I'm probably just overreacting. I couldn't remember how the scratch got onto the screen protector, so I was thinking it was under it

I've used Invisibleshield (Zagg nowadays) protectors for years now on 5 or 6 different devices. Never managed to scratch it. If you scratched the protector, you'd know it. It would have either had to have been something as sharp as a knife, or have taken a pretty good hit.
But, if you see dirt or dust behind it, then the install area wasn't very clean. So, is it possible that the "scratch" you are seeing could be some debris between the protector and the screen (like maybe a hair)?

If it was hair, wouldn't it just show a black line? The "scratch" is distorting the color (more pronounced in white background).

Hey, hope you read this and share if you eventually found out if the scratch was on the protector or underneath after several months.
I have the same exact problem as you, I am seeing some scratch color distortion in white background. Hopefully the scratch is on the protector, not the screen. Problem is I have no way to know since I didn't install the protector myself, unless of course I remove it which I don't want to do right now.
You can always replace it through zagg.com for only the cost of shipping the old one back and the new one to you. To the USA is 3.99 I believe.

Hi all,
I'm looking to switch to the G3 from an HTC One M8. Love that phone but the camera lens issue and the fact that the screen scratches so easily have really put me off. Once I get my phone back from HTC (who are currently repairing the phone), I plan to trade it in and get the G3. I know the G3 has Corning's Gorilla Glass 3 but given the fact that I've been burned on the One M8, I'm wondering if getting a good screen protector would be worthwhile, even with Gorilla Glass 3. Any thoughts on whether or not Gorilla Glass 3 would be sufficient?
thanks!

I strongly suggest getting one. Nothing worse then scratches on your beautiful screen.
yea that's for sure... i'm still really bothered by the HTC One M8 getting scratched with nothing in my pocket and it happened six days after I got the phone.. so I'm going to make the move to G3 and hope that it won't scratch so terribly easy. Any suggestions on screen protectors? I had used the Zagg Invisible shield and they worked pretty well but they were expensive. Any thoughts?
There is no harm in running a quality protector. Zagg tempered glass protectors have been on my last three phones, and I used Spigen nano TR before that.
Better safe than sorry!
Got the tempered glass protector from Verizon. Can't even tell that it's there.
I'm rolling without it..did the same on my s3 for two years and it didn't get much.. Just be smart about it..not the same pocket as your keys..you'll be fine!
I got the Zagg Glass screen protector right at Best Buy when I got the G3 and all I can say is wow... Wish I looked into these things for my S4.
You can even tell it's on. Obviously doesn't effect the screen quality. With the environment I work in usually within a day my screen protector is all messed up and this thing still looks brand new. And they've put some kind of coating on it so when you're swyping it's silky smooth.
They're $30 or around there but what you want to do is hey it at best Buy and have them put it on... That way if they mess up or it just doesn't come out good... They just try again with a new one so your not out the $30
I highly recommend this screen protector to anyone!

I have never used screen protectors before. For the G3 I got the tempered glass as it is the only type IMO worth buying. I would agree you can barely notice it is there, except I have one singular small bubble in the middle and don't want to remove it to try and fix that one spot

Dunno why people still think this. There have been hundreds of "scratch tests" with keys, knives, etc. vs gorilla glass. None of these will scratch your screen. It's simple physics. Whether something scratches your screen has everything to do with hardness, not sharpness. Any material can only be scratched by another material that is harder than it. "Gorilla glass" is harder than metals and therefore wont be scratched by it. It CAN be scratched by sand, quartz, and other minerals (sand paper will absolutely ruin your screen). Things like tiny particles of sand can't really be avoided by "being smart about it" so I keep my screen covered.
Edit: That being said I also keep my keys/phone separate but not because of my screen, but because the rest of it is plastic, which can be scratched/nicked by your keys quite easily.

No need, I believe you. But that has nothing to do with keeping your keys away from your phone. It is all location dependent, perhaps you just live in an environment with less sand.

Then you, my friend are much luckier than I. Too each his/her own. I too ran my GS3 for about 2 years without a screen protector and ALWAYS in it's own pocket by itself. Somehow somewhere sand got in there and scratched my screen. All it takes is one particle. So I guess for me, with the activities that I partake in, its inevitable. The reason I never used plastic screen protectors was because I never liked how they felt. Now that glass screen protectors are only a few bucks, that's pennies over the lifetime of the phone. I say, why not?

Nope. And I asked if I ever needed another one if the same deal applies would they just put it on and they said no problem.
I'd definitely look into it. It's by far the best form of screen protection and you can't even tell it's on.
And another thing.... My S4's screen got scratched by my keys while in my pocket, and that has the guerilla glass so it's definitely possible. Only had the phone a day and tried going without a screen protector. Bad idea.

You don't use a screen protector, and haven't had a scratched screeb...cool.
I use one because I've had a scratch despite my efforts to pocket my phone by itself. My work requires me to visit sites that have dust and sand etc... I can tell you that a small piece of sand will scratch your phone easy.
Tempered glass protectors are nice and leap years above the plastic ones of old. Outside of the cutout for the speaker I wouldn't know I have one on here.

Huh? Arrogant about it? The original question is do you need one.. the answer obviously is, it depends. Like the guy I was talking to said.. we all live in different circumstances.. I don't care what anyone else does, all I can do is state my experience. Plastic screen protector? Don't bother. Tempered glass? Maybe. I haven't tried it.. but I don't need either. Perhaps you misread what I said but I wasn't going for arrogance.
