Sand or dirt on your finger, along with other substances can and have scratched Gorilla Glass.
$13.50? How is it different from a $2 screen protector?
These are polyurethane, they don't peel up and let dirty under them. They also have videos where they stop a drill and a dremmel and they have a lifetime warranty. I havent seen a cheap $2 plastic one do anything like that.

How do you like it? Is it more of a static cling type or the invisible shield type? I noticed it said it came with application spray, so am not sure. I don't like the invisible shield type as much anymore since they usually aren't as smooth as the screen itself.
Nice try owner of XO Skins!

i am also curious
Sorry it took so long to answer, have had an outage and needed to replace a tun of switches... xoskins is a glue skin, thats why you have to spray them. Once the spray dries they stick very hard and dont come up easy. The static ones fall off and get dirt jammed under them. these are about as smooth as the acrylic ones but they are the strong military grade kind.
I ran an XO Skins protector on my TP 2 for quite a while. Good thing is if you do have issues with the protector it has a lifetime warranty! Once installed I did not notice any reduction in screen touch response nor did it affect the viewing of the screen. I have ordered up a protector for the 3d and am interested to see how it affects the 3d display, hope it has no negative affects!
I've got a set of XO skins protectors here for my 3D and just waiting to put it on. I will say the customer service there is fantastic. I received my order quick, and then about 1week later I got another envelope in the mail from them with another protector. When I emailed them they said they had a mix up and some of the original orders for the 3D got sent their "case fit" protector instead of the regular one. So to fix the problem they just mailed out regular protectors to everyone that ordered one then in case they got the wrong one before. So now b/c of this i have 2 both same size b/c mine was right. lol
Now I had skinomi on my EVO4G and loved it. Interested to see how this compares, as the skinomi I had was great and touch input was flawless still and smooth too.
I have XO skins screen protector on my Gtablet and I have to say that I like it better than Zagg InvisibleShield. The Zagg's kind of have a rubbery feel that makes it a little more difficult to slide your finger when swiping or scrolling. With XO skins it feels almost as smooth as glass. I have ordered the Zagg for mine, but I think I will get an XO too since they both have lifetime replacement offers.

So impressions? Good bad, not worth it, worth it?
I love mine. I just need to find a case that doesnt look lame. All the ones I have found are all flowery lol
Just ordered mine coupon code BYUBLUE is still good
Ordered one as well, thanks for positive reviews, coupon code BYUBLUE is still working.
Ordered on 7/3 and it's still not here. Shipping for these is slower than molasses. For comparison, I ordered a case from tpu-cases.com on the same day and it arrived today.
I'm not a fan but want to try another company. I tried Zagg a couple of years ago and it felt like rubber and had orange peel, pulled it off after a day.
In the perfect world I would get one that looks clear, feels like glass and helps with finger prints.
What is your favorite and why?
Thanks
I've tried Zagg and a bunch of others on my Evo 4G. The best one I had was this cheap 99 cent screen protector I got off amazon. Had it on for months with no scratches, and it looked and felt just like glass.

I have ghost armor screen protector on my 3vo and they are the best in my opinion. Every phone I owned I bought ghost armor for them and didn't worry about the screen at all. Lucky for me, there is a ghost armor kiosk here in grapevine Texas so I just go there an they apply it professionally. I suggest it if your in the area.

Decided to go with Phantom Skinz since it comes with a camera protector and I've read good reviews on their products
http://phantomskinz.com/htcevo3d.aspx
I first got an Invisible Shield for my TP2, but there was too much orange peel effect and it was too "sticky" so I changed to Phantom Skinz. Phantom Skinz was much better.
On my Evo 3D I have a Clarivue protector now and it seems like it's scratched on the bottom side... I think I might change to Phantom.

Boxwave Crystal Clear.
The problem is, Boxwave has been really dragging their feet in getting ANY accessories specific to the 3D. They just finally got a rubberized case for it, but that's it. No screen protectors yet.
I ordered the BodyGuardz HD screen protector. These have anti-glare. Got it last night and it has a 'halo' effect. That is where the edges of the protector are not stuck onto the screen. It is not raised where it can easily become unpeeled. I wrote to BodyGuardz and they are sending me replacements that should work properly, which they claim are die-cut. A different manufacturing process that should work better.
Big plus for their customer support! I will post an update when I get them.
Zagg by far!

I have always used Zagg until I tried XO Skins. I was going to buy a Zagg for my GTablet, but someone posted the XO Skin for it on sale, so I gave it a try. It is somewhat like the Zagg InvisibleShield, but has that glass like feel with no orange or yellowish tint over time. It is a wet application, but when it cures it looks like nothing is even there. They also have a lifetime warranty just like Zagg, so if anything ever happens, you get a free replacement.

I got my screen protectors on Monday and I have to say it is horrible. You don't get fingerprints on it but it looks like it is dirty all they time. IMHO they suck!
I had a Casemate brand protector on my EVO 4G and loved it. Now I have a Clarivue brand on my EVO 3D and love it just as much.
No tacky feeling, no orange peel look, and no adhesive/water required.
Anybody try OEM screen protector that Sprint sells?

Absolutely horrible, do not get. They scratch so, so easy....can't even use a credit card to smooth out the bubbles. Several people in the forum have said the same.

Do they sell any good aftermarket ones at Best Buy or something? I just got my phone today and I want to protect my screen immediately instead of waiting for shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TMTPMY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A127GCSIQ9QZ6G
Anyone used this screen protector before? Nice price...but that makes me worry a bit about the quality.
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=skinomi&aq=f
I have one on my Transformer and Nexus S 4G and I'm happy with both.
They don't feel quite as durable as Invisible Shield (yet far, far more durable than the cheaper adhesive plastic models) but the installation is easier and the price is nice.
I have one arriving on 7/12 for my Evo 3D. I'll make a post related to my first impressions on it if you like.
I would appreciate.
Not as durable, what do you mean? I have never used a screen protector. Screwed one up when I tried to put one on my hero. Almost think it would be worth getting a zagg at best buy and paying to have it installed so I don't screw it up.
I just haven't heard the best things about zagg.
Thank you.
Skinomi are nice. I like them better than Zagg. They scratch fairly easy though. I'm using Clarivue screen protectors and like them better than Skinomi or Zagg. Skinomi has a lifetime warranty, like Clarivue and Zagg.
It's the material they use. Zagg's InvisibleShield feels like a thin rubber sheet while Skinomi's are a little more rigid (but less so that the dime a dozen cheap ones sold by Sprint). Putting a noticble, permanent scratch onto an InvisbleShield takes some serious effort. Overall, some things that will put a scratch on a Skinomi won't on a Zagg. For the money I think Skinomi is pretty solid and a far better investment than the thin velum ones (by Innocell and Writeright) that the Sprint stores in my area are pushing.
InvisibleShield does make the screen feel a little a little bumpy, almost sticky, when swiping (the "orange peel" effect some people refer to) whereas the Skinomi is totally smooth. I've never cared either way but some folks do seem to have a preference.
I'll post here again when I get my 3vo Skinomi and let you know what I think.
Sent from my 3vo using XDA App.
I've had the Zagg screen protectors and really didn't care for the feel. As stated above than can feel sticky when swiping, etc. I found some decent reviews on the Phantom Skinz screen protectors and decided to try it. Much better feel and once dries is hardly noticeable. Also seem to resist scratching very well. Plus you get 2 for the price of 1 and protectors for the glass on the back camera. Check them out:

Put it on, feels great. Look horrible....but I am assuming what appears to be moisture, scratches, and etc will disappear in a few days?
Screen scratched....but they are sending a new one.
Got a zagg installed. Love it. May keep this and give away the skinomi.
If anyone wants it, ill consider giving it away, you pay for shipping.
My small contribution to xda.
I actually got the full body film and it was fairly easy to install. The only thing I don't like is the ridges in the back of the EVO 3d turn out white and sustain the moisture from the solution. But the cut outs are perfect and the screen and camera protectors are nearly invisible. The touch to the screen protector is nice and smooth with no catch whatsoever. Also the film on the body give it a nice glazed look that I've grown to enjoy. I give this product an 8.5 out of ten. The screen protector on its own is 10th out of 10.

Is it on your Decepticon or Autobot? Because I always wanted a Prime.
My last phone was scratched, and among other issues with it, so I returned it for a new one. The scatches bummed me out so bad I made sure this time I'll get a screen protector. Bought the Zagg Smudge Free one for my phone and the feel is awesome, but it looks like ****. Everything is grainy and there are lines throughout the screen, so looking at 3D pictures and stuff sucks. If anyone can suggest an awesome screen protector that doesn't mess up picture quality, let me know.

I have used Zagg & just about every other screen protector out there. I have found XO Skins to be the best. They are much like Zagg, but are smoother, clearer & cure much better with less bubbles & imperfections in it. Just use Google & you will find them. You can also find many coupon codes for them. If I remember right BYUBLUE will get you $3 off.

I have dogs that like to jump on beds, so I use one just in case. Also I use one so I don't fret about my glass being dirty or when a girl with rings on is playing with it, I will always know I have a perfect glass behind the screen protector. Sadly my screen underneath has funky **** going on like light bleed and a discolored spot

I don't have a screen protector, but I am looking into getting one.
I have a very tiny dot on the border of the glass which I don't like much, just in case.
But the problem is how to apply a screen protector!! on my HD2 with its 4.3" display I had too much difficulty to put a screen protector without leaving dust underneath it, on a 10" display it is impossible....
I don't use a screen protector and my screen is perfect.
Tough i always keep it docked, so i guess it helps a lot

Biggest tip I can give is to apply the screen protector in the bathroom after running a hot shower to get the steam in the room to make the dust die down. Also, the bit of added moisture in the air helps to let you slide the screen protector around a bit before letting it become settled.

I use clear tape to get dirt out from underneath. But yes bathroom helps although I don't make it steamy. The biggest problem I ran into was aligning the whole thing. One corner would always be off just a tad. I ended up trimming it a bit and I can't even tell.

checking for videos on how to apply a screen protector, I found this video:
where can I find this Dust Isolation sheet ?!? it seems GREAT
I use a screen protector on my TF101 mainly because it reduces glare and the fingerprints come off easier and it feels smoother that the regular gorilla glass
My tf101 was a best buy display model. It didn't have a screen protector then and it doesn't have one now. I sell saltwater livestock for a living and I'm a mechanic on the side, so it frequently comes in contact with dirt, grease, and saltwater. Not a scratch on the screen. I use a targus case to protect the screen when its not in use.
Regarding putting a screen protector on. Its just like window tint fellas. Clean screen as best you can. Mix some hand soap and tap water in a spray bottle. Spray screen protector and device and apply screen protector. Now spray front side of screen protector. Use a credit card or rubber squeegee to squeegee the water out from under the protector. As the water comes out it will drag the dust with it. Keep a towel on hand to dry the device as the water runs out. You might see a little water left under the protector after squeegeeing but it will dry completely over the next few days so don't worry about it.

its just too bad that SGP has no longevity... and by that I mean I can still get a martian fields and skinomi products for my old Touch Pro 2 but cant get a screen protector for either OR my TF101 through SGP/Steinheil...
When it comes to screen protectors for me its SGP/Steinheil then Martian Fields (then pretty much anyone else), but like I said, 8-12 Months later they drop it completely... so unless you stock up on them, be prepared to be screwed to find a different brand if you have an issue (I had my nephew destroy one of mine... I couldnt get my finger under the side but 2min with him and me not looking and it was off and bent in half )
My .02 anyway..

And...you'd be wrong. All those things he did most likely wouldn't scratch regular glass. For the most part keys and coins aren't hard enough. What will scratch glass, gorilla or not, is sand. Sand and grit is everythere. If your hands are dirty its there. It there's lint in your pockets its there. That's the enemy of screens.

Had the transformer since it was first released. After a few months of ownership i tried the SGP ultra fine matte protector as the insane glare was starting to bother me. Had that on for a few months during which the screen nor the protector took any damage as i keep it docked when its not in use. Took it off 3 months ago and since then i've gotten one hairline scratch thats about a cm long, not noticeable unless you knew where it was.
I would say if you keep the thing docked and take care when cleaning the screen its not necessary to have a screen protector. However if you don't use a dock and the tablet is constantly exposed to any number of things that can scratch it, or you're not in the habit of taking good care of your gadgets then a screen protector might not be a bad idea.
Every time i see one of those glass scratch demos i facepalm as i've had quite a few devices that were supposed to be "scratch proof" get scratched by the most mundane things. Its all about angle, material, and force. I can slice a screen and not get a scratch but angle it a bit and give it more pressure and I bet i can get these screens to scratch pretty easily.
Scratch resistance is awesome in the lab, but in the real world there are just too many variables to be absolutely sure.

I've used ZAGG a few times, once on my zune, once on my evo and again on my evo LTE. The original ZAGG product is one of those soft wet apply films that are a bit grippy compared to a hard plastic film protector. I hated it for my zune and i hated it for my evo because of the grippiness as well as the slight orange peel effect. Over time the zune's wore down enough so that it was smooth and had no orange peel, but that took about a year and only in the spots you swipe around to change tracks and volume. Same thing happened with my evo.
On the Evo LTE I was tempted to try zagg HD, which actually was much better than the original film in that it was a lot more clear and had less grip, but alas it was still a soft wet apply film and i just couldn't get used to it.
If you like the grippy texture then the zagg and similiar soft films last longer than the hard plastics. It seems like a love it or hate it situation for a lot of people, myself included.
I will always go with the hard plastic dry install as those are in my opinion easier to apply because you can hover over the screen and slowly lower it as opposed to sliding it around on liquid and then have to squeegee it all out later. Even if i have to replace it once every few months as opposed to once a year for the zagg, i will still stick with the hard plastics.
So, I just got the phone this past weekend when it came out. Today was its first day to go with me to work, and the screen protector faired poorly. There are two "permanent smudges" from rubbing, and many, many, MANY scratches all over it. I have no idea how this happens from just sitting in my pocket, unless there's dirt and dust rubbing against it causing the damage.
So after one-day, the Sprint-store screen protector is trashed.
Any phone pocket'ers have any suggestions as to screen protection?
The "Body glove" case faired OK, so at least the back-side is ok!
I once had an "SGP" screen protector on the Evo Shift, and it was good and a little more resilient, but it still ended up with smudges and scratches from riding in my pocket.
I would just use the "Gorilla Glass" screen but the the "permanent smudge" pocket wear marks would be on the screen instead of a screen protector!
I haven't used a screen protector since my Evo 4G. I used two different kinds and I don't even remember what they were. I actually stopped using the second one because I didn't feel like I could swipe my finger across the screen smoothly enough. I actually broke my 4G by throwing it at a wall. The screen didn't crack, but it no longer worked. That little fit of rage assuaged any concerns I had about the screen ever breaking.
Zagg screen protector. Get the "HD" one-can't even tell it's there. Lifetime warranty. totally worth it. I gave used them on all my devices for years.
Edit: they are guaranteed not to be scratch-even by keys!

I don't recommend the zagg shields they get orange XO is good but feel rubbery too, is hard to find a perfect screen protector but don't buy sprint one they completely suck

2nd Recommendation for a Zagg Invisibleshield HD. They are amazing and you can't tell they are there. They have a lifetime warranty in case they peel or start to turn orange, feel like glass not rubbery at all, and are amazing. I have one on my Kindle Fire too.
I just looked up the Zagg InvisibleShield and that's the second screen protector I had on my original Evo. I didn't really like it. It covered the whole screen and offered great protection, but I hated the way it felt. Having gone about a year without any kind of screen protection, I must say I prefer a naked screen to a protected one.
A buddy of mine had an OtterBox Defender for his Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and eventually got tired of having the screen protector.
It's your prerogative to have a screen protector. I can vouch for Zagg's reliability and protection, but it gives an orange peel effect and makes swiping your finger across the screen more work. Having dropped my phone on various surfaces and throwing one across the room at a wall, I don't think these screens really need protecting.

You had the orig Zagg not the new HD ones. The new ones rock even compared to the older ones.
Will
I will personally never use another screen protector after launching my phone into a wall and picking it up to see it was not cracked. The screen no longer worked, but a screen protector would have done nothing to change that. I would rather invest my money in a case that will protect other parts of the phone that aren't quite as indestructible.
It sounds like the Zagg screen protectors are still the best. I was hoping to find a dry screen protector, but I guess they still haven't made any of them. But I did want to ask a stupid question about the Zagg screen protectors. Above people where talking about an HD version of Zagg screen protectors. Is that the same as the link below, because I don't see the words HD on the page, that said I saw it all over their main page, so it might just be that all their screen protectors are this HD version now. Is that correct, and is this the link everyone is talking about?

The HD version is sold exclusively by Best Buy right now. So it's not on their site.
Check out the XO Screen Protectors.

I also am with the Zagg HD. I like it, is very clear, and very thin. you'll hardly notice it.
Haha what in the world happens in your pockets? I've had the Sprint screen protector on my phone and in my pocket for two weeks and it is as good as ever. I've had people continually tell me that I need to put a screen protector on my phone because I'm going to mess up the screen... It's that clear and smooth! I typically don't like Sprint's accessories, but I love this thing so far! I had an Invisishield before and hated it. Maybe the HD ones are better, but I just can't bring myself to do it again.
Zagg HD all the way, can't even tell it's there

+1 on the zagg HD, just got it today at bby with their rocketfish softcase, gel case, installed for only $35. Had a 35 gift card so I didn't complain. Having had the original zagg case for a short while on my OG EVO and going to this new HD case I can definitely tell the difference, I much prefer this screen protector.

i would wait for an sgp screen protector. from what i hear they are the best of the best when it comes to screen protectors. i personally have never used a screen protector so i don't know first hand but none the less. also ive had my evo for about a year and a half and there is not one scratch on it so i don't think i will buy one for my lte when i get it in november
I maintain that these phones do not need screen protectors, but if a $15 purchase gives you peace of mind, go for it. I would rather put that money towards a case that protects parts of the phone that are far less indestructible.
I also put down the money for a Seidio active case as well as my Zagg HD screen protector. I don't go cheap on something so expensive to replace.

i know its not out yet but http://www.clear-coat.com is by far the best protector ive ever had for a phone hands down. the hands on demo on the front page is completely legit. things work no doubt.
Throw in another vote for Zagg HD....I too was a hater of screen protectors on a touch screen phone. Always ruined the touch.....I understand some of the haters out there...I was a strong hater of screen protectors.
This though is unbelievably good...like others have said, its like its not there.....feels like the glass. If you get one from best buy, have them install it....if you don't like the job they did they will put another one on at no charge until you are happy. Bubbles will work out after a few days....I have never been this happy about a screen protector.
Besides...you still have 30 days to return it if you decide you don't like it.
