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.

Warning iphone in video,Well its reviewing screen protectors.
Looks like I can't have clear and no finger prints. I am considering these as well as a few others
What do you think?

Let us know if your screen protector covers all of the glass also.

July 18th full screen protection . Works great with defender otter . I could throw my last one on eBay
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
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.

My brother have a invisible shield one that's finger print resistant but is orange peel and not that smooth sliding

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.

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.

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.

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 usually use PPC Techs WriteShields but they don't have them yet.
I hate the Zagg ones, there a bad joke.
I don't care for ones that use liquid to put them on, I never had trouble putting ones on perfectly without liquid.
Is the EVO 3D have the exact screen size of some other phones already out.
I may just wait for PPCTechs but the ones that used to be included with Sprint Phones were very similar and quite good.
Does Sprint sell them for this phone?
Looks like Sprint does sell them. $14.99 2 Clear, 1 Anti-Glare plus $6.50 ship !!

there not rubbery like zag
pretty easy to put on
no water needed
cheaper the most
and there slick once u start using them so ur finger doesn't stick when swiping sliding playing games etc
if in doubt buy the 2 pack its only like 15$ for two worse case u mess up first one and have an extra one left
also if ur really bad with em take it in to sprint or bestbuy with just the screen protector and ask em to put it on and they'll do it saying "its a gift for mom" or something im sure they wont care
Boxwave are simply the best screen protectors, bar none, in my opinion. I've used them all, and nothing comes close.

Don't chose the free shipping. I don't know what happened but it took over a week for my order to get from FL to TX. He shipped them the next day after I ordered but it took forever. Definitely a USPS problem.

Installed it today, super easy. Very clear protector, you can't tell it is on. Adds a nice feel to the screen, and the oleophobic coating on the protector makes fingerprints and other gunk wipe off easily without need for a cleaning cloth or something of the like.

agreed!
unfortunately, Boxwave doesn't have one available for the 3d yet, so I went with Clarivue, which are just as nice...
it should be mentioned that the Boxwave/Clarivue screen protectors are hard plastic type, giving a very smooth screen feel
I've been using the "Cellett" brand from Fry's.
Whopping $4.99
You cannot tell it's there, perfectly clear, not sticky when dragging finger across, and (from previous phones) I know they last years if installed correctly.
Yea, the Zagg ones from worst buy or wherever blow.
FYI, I bought the Sprint ones.
They stink.
They scratch VERY easy even though they are the hard smooth clear plastic type.
And they do not cover the whole screen.
I just ordered me the photon today, I like to put screen protectors on my phones as soon as I can.
What are our options for high end screen protectors for the photon?
After some searching, the only one I found was skinomi. Currently $6.95 on amazon.
I ordered a 5 pack off eBay for $3 and change. It's shipping from Hong Kong
The 3 pack of screen protectors for the HTC EVO 3D sold in the Sprint retail stores for $14.99 plus applicable sales tax are a perfect fit for the Motorola Photon 4G. IMHO, the Otterbox Defender Series Case is your best protection for it.

I'm currently using the EVO 3D screen protector from the Sprint retail store. It is working well but getting a few scratches. The protectors are definately a bit more than I would like but I wasn't willing to risk scratches to the screen. With my prior EVO i used ghost armor... the sprint sales person said the EVO 3D screens are specifically designed to not interfere with the touch technology.... not sure if I buy it but I was still suckered into spending ...
I have never heard of that skinomi skin are they as good as Zagg?

they dont cover the bottom portion of the screen, sorry fail, scatches have a way to find places that are not covered.
Also the oil/dirt from your finger rubbing will eventually start to lift the edge of the film.
Do you even need one for the Photon since it comes with gorilla glass? It was my understanding that you dont and thats why we here at sprint don't sell screen protectors for them

I actually received mine yesterday (2 days after I ordered it, I'm impressed).
But I have some fitment issues with the skin.
Not sure if it's a bad cut or if they're all like this but it seems it was cut just a hair too wide.
Three out of four corners line up really well, however one goes past the screen by about 1mm.
I've uploaded pictures but I'm not allowed to post outside links at the moment
I've contacted skinomi, waiting to see what they say.
Just got my Skinomi and applied it, everything seemed fine but an hour later i noticed i let some lint, very small string get stuck underneath, DOH! otherwise mine fit snug. regardless of the lint ill keep mine on for now until the BodyGaurdz Kiosk or Invisible Shield kiosk gets in the Photon and ill have them apply a new skin.
Damn after another hour i realized my skinomi fit perfectly, i had no problems with fit, no curling, everything is great except for that damn piece of lint in the middle of the screen, damnit. I guess i will try to block it out of my head that it exists.

Glad to hear my fitment issue was just a bad cut and not all of them are like that.

Yes you do need one on the photon. I scratched my screen on the second day I had it. Thank god I convinced the sprint store to replace it because of a restarting problem. More I'm babying it until I get some protection.

From my experience, the area of screen I see most prone and most likely to end up with scratches on it sjjones is the LCD area which the HTC EVO 3D screen protectors completely cover. As I stated as well, the best defense and protection for the Motorola Photon 4G is the Otterbox Defender Series case. Yes, it is the most expensive carrying solution on the market, but it is also the most protective.

I hate that feeling like you want to block it out but you just want to rip it off and add a new one but at a price of 20$ for the Zagg I just wait till the next pay check and give a shot.

Try contacing zagg to see if they'll replace it. I know some of the brands of those kinds of screens have some kind of lifetime warranty.
Although generally they don't cover bad installation, it's still worth a shot.
Well other than the lint and occasional finger nail mark the Skinomi ended up pretty well, its almost exactly like the invisible shield but much cheaper. No bubbles, no peeling. The lint bothers me though; Instead of returning this one which costs you like 4-5 bucks (on their so called warranty). I decided to purchase the carbon fiber skin + screen protector combo they sell and just put a new screen protector on in a cleaner environment.

Hmm, i used to own the defender, and the screen protector never really bothered me that much. If you don't like the responsiveness with the screen protector on, then try the Seidio Active case, it's pretty similar
I put my own protector on and take out the one from otterbox. It works a whole lot better IMO.

Most definitely take the defender screen protector off! The visual difference is worlds better! I actually just took my 2nd one off because I received a replacement case. The HD zagg is awesome it looks like you don't have one on at all.

i had a hd zag. mine got all orange peel looking after awhile. i currently have mine in a defender case.as well as did with my 3D . yes a little visual difference in direct lighting. but not enough for me to give up the protection. I bought the sedio case from best buy as there platinum case on launch day. where to start. the first day i couldnt use the camera button without having to mash it in. called sedio complained. they sent a new case. this new case same issue with camera button. but guess what now the volume up & down buttons i had to mash now. so called again. they sent another. took it out the box put it on the device. same ****. save your money. garbage. get the defender leave it do its job & defend your phone.
All I can say is the ZAGG.. is not worth it.

I disagree. I used to buy the cheap screen protectors of eBay and THOSE are crap. This protector is quality. The only way I can see someone complaining is if they put it on wrong. I truly cannot even tell I have the thing on and i have received no scratches yet. Also I bought the defender and the Zagg for $60 back when I purchased the phone as a bestbuy special.

I bought my original defender only 3 months ago and they have already sent me 2 replacement because my clip broke and the little flap for the charger port snapped off. Your case is destined to break so when it does you will get a new one and then you can keep the protector on if you don't like the outcome of this one. The sun will come out tomorrow!

I took it of on mine because I already had a screen protector on my phone and I didn't want to take it off. Otherwise I would have left it on.

I hated the thickness and grainy appearance of the built-in anti-glare screen protector on the Defender, so I removed it and installed the Steinheil Ultra Crystal protector instead. World of difference in terms of clarity and sensitivity. Fingerprints are easily wiped away. Some dust does get under the edges of the polycarbonate top shell, but it gets trapped there on top of the screen protector and doesn't penetrate into the actual case.
I have the defender and had the zagg hd . I hate zagg , it feels rubbery and has orange peel and is too thick .. orange peel was ok, but if I get resistance when I'm trying to swipe my finger on the phone its irritating. If you try it with the protector and without you will feel worlds of difference. I have the defender , incipio ngp, and diztronic . I use defender for work in construction . And incipio on the weekends. I am waiting for the steinhiel ultra clear protectors in the mail . For the defender case , you will notice in certain angles it looks like there is water between the screen and the defender clear protector but if you put a thin screen protector on the phone and then put the defender on , it eliminates that problem .
I used to defend InvisibleShield (now the actual company is called Zagg) to the death a year or so back. I've had them literally on EVERY device I've owned. I've even recommended friends to it.
As someone that has done that I'm here to tell you that they are crap. Definitely remove the cover that comes with the case but do not get Zagg. Unless you can get a time machine and get a product from a year ago. They will get orangy and sometimes (they claim this is part of the manufacturing process) you might have horizontal 'lines' across the shield which requires a replacement. Also, they have gotten a LOT more rubbery. The original ones were still a bit rubbery but they felt sleek, the new ones are gross. I grabbed my old iPod nano and my LTE and I touch both protects, the new LTE one is disgusting.
I'm looking for a replacement and looking around the forums and other sites everyone recommends the SGP protectors. The following doesn't matter specifically to the shield but its something worth noting: Zagg's customer service has turned to crap, sure their lifetime warranty is awesome but trying to actually ask about something is horrid. I sent a quick email to SGP asking three simple questions and they replied with THREE FRIGGIN PARAGRAPHS HAND TYPED.
Sorry for the long post just wanted to give some input. Here's the email exchange in case you had the same questions I did:

Hello,
I have been an avid user of Zagg screenshields for years now but recently their quality has turned to crap. Horrible customer service, yellow tinting on their protectors and that awful rubber feeling. A lot of my friends and the forum I frequent recommended your screen protectors but I have a few queries.
1. I live in a VERY hot area (Arizona, USA) and I know that your product description says no residue but I would like to confirm if this applies no matter the temperature the screen is at. Please, please please be honest with this
2. My product is an Evo 4G LTE and I know that early on a lot of screenshield makers (including Zagg) did not provide a cut out for the proximity sensor, I'm curious to know whether you have updated your design to have the phone work 100%
3. Which protector should I chose for the best scratch-proofness (oleophobic, crystal or fine)?
Sorry for taking up your time and I look forward to your reply. With Zagg I'm giving up scratch proofness and lifetime warranty. However that is nothing compared to the horrible support and quality of their products. Spigen will have my support for years to come if I get good answers
Thank you,
Jon

Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen on Amazon.
It is no problem at all! Thank you for your interest in our products. I'd be more than happy to assist you with your questions!
Our screen protectors are not affected by the temperature and should not produce a yellowish tint. Our high quality screen protectors are manufactured with a hard coat so that it has a scratch resistance coat. This, however, does not mean that the screen protector is completely scratch proof, but it will not scratch as easily as most other screen protectors. I have been using the Ultra Crystal on my device for over 5 months and have not received a single scratch, despite the many falls my device has endured. Over time, the screen protectors will need to be replaced at one point, but should last on your device for many months without problems or tinting from the sun. If you do have an issue with our product, simply contact us at Amazon support and I would be glad to assist you.
As for the screen protectors. We have the Ultra Crystal, Ultra Oleophobic, and the Ultra Fine (Matte). The Ultra Crystal is a transparent screen protector, and our most popular, as it provides ultimate clarity and protection. The Ultra Oleophobic is almost the same product as the Ultra Crystal but it has an Oleophobic coating on top which provides oil resistance so that fingerprints can be wiped away easily. However, over time, the coating on the Oleophobic screen protector may wear off and would need to be replaced. The Ultra Fine is our matte screen protector. It is anti-fingerprint and will receive the least amount of scratches. However, because it is a matted screen protector, the resolution of your screen may be reduced. Of the three options, I do recommend the Ultra Crystal as it is my personal favorite.
We have also updated the screen protectors to have the cut out for the proximity sensors. We have shipped these updated products to Amazon for their inventory. However, if for whatever reason, you receive the older screen protector without the cut out, simply contact us and we will ship you the updated screen protector right away.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you.

just keep the defender on, and if it really starts to bug you then take the time to cut out or peel off the screen cover
Took out the awful defender screen protector and put the zagg one on there.
Much better
