Hi,
i bought a screen protector for my 3D and the thing is, on whites, the image gets full of those pixel colors (green blue and red). It happens also on other colors but not so notorious.. 3 of these screen protectors cost about 3€ so they might be of not good quality.. any reference on any screen protector that will "respect" the colors and keep the screen quality? where can i buy them? ebay, amazon?
thanks in advance
PhantomSkinz.com
FLsuperstore.com , around $1.50 shipped. Looks and feels MUCH better than Otterbox screen protectors. Literally can't even see or feel that it's on there. Love it!!

Did you get a Matte/Anti-Glare screen protector? They are known to do that and its a drawback, but the positive is you get less glare.
Other wise get a crystal/clear protector, they will look just like the naked screen, with the same mirror reflection.
The zagg ones do that until they've dried or aged-----the one on my ipod was awful looking for a day or two until it just disappeared. If it was a applied with a liquid it might need to dry out a bit before it has its final look

Go with bodyguardz.
Re: matte screens. I have the bodyguardz version and don't have that problem. If you look closely you will notice in white backgrounds. But not with other colors. I'm happy with it. Plus they offer free replacements.

It was the same with me in the beginning with the matte screen protector...but it seemed to have worn of lately with some use. I'm guessing the material on top of the screen protector isn't as sufficient as it was on day one
Another vote for the clear ones from flsuperstore.com
Easy to apply and once it's on, you can't even tell it's on there.

I'm trying to decide which will be a better fit for a screen protector. Right now, there really seems to be only two contenders. The Zagg and the Skinomi, links provided. I know there are generic protectors but I'm looking for the "best of class" for this beast. Anyone have any suggestions before I scratch this baby?

I personally hate the wet type of protectors for the screen. It messes up the smoothness of the touchscreen & your fingers don't glide over it easily (especially the tacky feeling Zaggs. Those are the worst).
Go with the dry ones (the kind that use static cling to stick). I ordered the REALOOK protector from Amazon that gets good reviews on their other devices. Should be here in a day or two. They feel as smooth as glass.
I guess it's a matter of preference. I had a Zagg on my Focus for a year now, and it works great for me. It does give the screen a more "grippy" feel though, but I actually like that. If you want it to feel slick, I probably wouldn't go with the wet style. Another plus for the wet though is that it's pretty much invisible when applied. You won't get any peeling or bubbling like a dry protector. A lot of screen protectors are quite noticeable when they're put on a phone.
Reading the Realook reviews on Amazon shows they get mostly great reviews. I might have to give them a try one day. For now, I'll stick with Zagg though. It just arrived yesterday, and my phone should be in by Thursday, so it'll be the first thing I install.

I got the one from AT&T from there website and LOVE LOVE the feel it gives.
Just enough Drag to feel comfortable.
wrapsol makes some good ones as well. haven't decided what to get yet...
Got from tmart (can't post a link yet)
search ror item BD005788
Not bad at all
Brando Ultra Clear is the best.
got the htc one from clove technology.excellent fit
My Realook screen protectors came in today. I held off on installing the Zagg to try these. I can say, this is probably the most crystal clear protector I've ever put on a phone. It is 100% invisible.
So what's the con. The fit is so exact, they must have measured in microns. It still bubbles up at the extreme top right corner because it's hitting the small ridge that loops the front face. I definitely ding it for that. I guess if you have robo eyes and can place this thing on exactly, and I do mean EXACTLY, it would be the best protector I've seen. I can't see any blank space what so every, but it's still not on 100%.
The screen is slightly less slippery which I like too. It gives it a better feel. For the price, I think it's worth it. Besides, even if it peels off, you still have a second one to apply.

Yep, got mine in too. And I agree. Its almost TOO perfect, meaning they cut this thing so there's hardly ZERO room for error when applying. I actually ended up scrapping the first one I applied (it comes w two) because I wasn't satisfied with the slight bubble in the corner.
But I FINALLY managed to install the second one perfectly. Now its amazing & 100% perfect. Thank God, cause it freakin took forever. You really have to have patience when applying these. Be sure to stick a small piece of scotch tape on the bottom side so you can peel it up easily, because you're going to be doing that a lot to get it to seat just right.
I installed the maximum body Zagg and the screen protector turned out perfect. I've installed zaggs on LG Quantum, and Samsung Focus so I had some practice. For some reason the Titan zagg seems better quality than the ones installed on the other phones. I'm really not seeing any orange peel. I also put on the case mate tough case and doesn't mess up the zagg protection at all. For the Titan I love the Zagg

I never liked the grabbiness of the Zagg protectors. I ordered the ATT offered two-pack not knowing they were the full on glare reducing version. At first, it was a little too much, but the glare reduction seems to settle in a bit with use. OR my eyes are used to it now, but I quite like it after using it for a while. I matches the matte finish of the phone.
That said, I do want a screen protector that doesn't have anti-glare made by the same people as the ATT Samsung Focus version. Super slick, was pretty tough. Anyone know the vendor that made it for ATT?
"Orange peel" - that's a good description of my Focus Zagg screen protector. It didn't bother me though. I still have my Zagg in my drawer if the Realook craps out, but I don't think so.
I just bought the Skinomi Carbon Fiber full body kit that comes with a screen protector and really like it.
One BIG problem though: The Carbon Fiber back skin seems to have killed my signal strength. I now get no service instead of 3 bars? It covers the whole back of the phone. Even the plastic antennae area.
I'm surprised that it would kill your signal strength. I would check the metal contacts on the back case and the phone to make sure everything is touching and seated properly. Someone else in the forum tried that, and it fixed their problem.
I'm using atFolix anti-glare screen protector, it's brilliant get improved contrast and it's finger print resistant!
Got it from here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-FX-...m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=05DX3CNJ9KFAVHD8RYFC

Ok I'll answer my own question! Curiosity got better of me so decided to get Rock Naked Screen Protector AF & AG, and sure enough it's clearer then atFolix anti-glare screen no frost effect!
So if anyone's interested here are the Pros and Cons between the two screen protectors:
atFolix anti-glare got it from here http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-FX-...0VSQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330083294&sr=8-1 :
Pros:
- Easy to fit
- Perfectly fits the screen of the Titan no gaps!
- Excellent anti-glare and anti-fingerprint
Cons:
- You lose sharpness of the display and get frosted glass effect on close inspection!
- Easily scratches!
Rock Naked Screen Protector AF & AG got it from here http://www.obostore.com/rock-anti-f...ed-screen-protector-for-htc-titan-p-3597.html :
Pros:
- Good anti-glare and anti-fingerprint
- You don't lose sharpness of display i.e. no frosted glass effect
Cons:
- Fiddly to put on!
- Not a perfect fit for Titan about 1mm gap around screen!
- Easily Scratches
For me between the two I prefer the Rock Naked Screen Protector over atFolix losing screen sharpness/frosted glass effect was too much of a compromise!
I'm looking for a different screen protector. The one I got for free is an anti-glare and smudge free protector from ATT. However, the color and saturation seems to be way off. And I could see little pixel-like dots in different colors. I know that for an anti-glare screen protector the colors will be washed out, I just didn't know that it was this bad. But I realize that I need the anti-glare because I'm outside all the time.
I was wondering if anybody has tried the Moshi iVisor screen protector. I heard some great reviews for it on iPhones and iPads. However, because the screen protector does not actually touch the screen, how's the sensitivity with the s-pen?
...I have it/had it, I does the job. It's bubble free and prevents those tiny scratches however there is a big difference between clarity w/ & w/o it works no doubt but u loose the super HD display I think.

Do you have a screen protector at all? or is it naked.
I put one on yesterday and it makes me second guess keeping it. Using it in daylight is abhorrent.
Just use SGP screen protector and be done

I'm looking for a Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector. I've found a few so I'm wondering if any one has had a good experience with one they've purchased and applied.
Looking for something that feels like the film that was on the EVO LTE out of the box, the LOCATION PRIVACY warning one.
Long time lurker, first post wooohooo lol.
I'd wait for the Spigen SGP matte one to be released. Have it on my 3d and I recommend it with my eyes closed. Goes on pretty simple, hardly noticeable, matte feels great, easy to clean, no glare and fills the screen real estate nicely. Overall, perfect.
Zagg HD is fantastic..feels like glass and crystal clear. Love mine.

I always got mine off eBay, and they worked great!
I think they all perform about the same. If you aren't using the phone in the sun all the time, I'd recommend against it though.
But if working in the sun is what you need it for, you'd be much better off finding a really good pair of polarized sunglasses to with an anti-glare screen protector.
I used to have an awesome pair (before I lost them) which made the screen about as readable as if you were inside a dark room, and I think the screen protector was one of those cheapo made HTC ones.

He said anti-glare.
Thanks for the replies.
Well I'm not in the sun all day but I like the feel and the no smudge, anti-fingerprint capabilities.
I just ordered one from eBay for $4.95 and i'll wait for the Ultra Optics protector from Spigen to come out and i'll probably try that one out
I ordered this the other day
CrazyOnDigital Screen Protector Film Matte (Anti-Glare) for Sprint HTC Evo 4G LTE One (3-pack)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007X6JQ7W/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2C_ST1_3p_dp_1
Waiting for it to come in. I can't imagine 3 screen protectors for only $4 can be very good, but I figured I'd try them out. I couldnt find any Zagg screen protectors AT THE TIME, so this would hold me over until I ordered a Zagg.
Do the zagg screen protectors they have for the HTC One S and One X fit on the Evo LTE?
I also saw that one on amazon. I've seen a few that's why I wanted some 1st hand advice.
The one I ordered has a cut out for the sensor.
I read that people were having trouble with it because of the screen protectors.

Man, if you aren't in the sun all the time, DO NOT use an anti-glare screen protector. They aren't perfectly clear as a regular screen protector would be. They have this overlaid rainbow effect which distorts colors and visibility.
A perfectly white screen will not look white, but will have tiny red/green/blue sparkles all over.
clarivue makes the best. I always use them. Used them on the HTC EVO, EVO 3D, and now the EVO LTE. You get two "ultra clear" screen protectors for 14.00 shipped.

I let the Verizon salesman get me to buy their overpriced protectors (3 for $15...) I really don't like it. It's as wide as the screen, but long enough to cover the Verizon logo on top, and the softkeys on the bottom. It has cut outs for the camera and the light sensor.
What I don't like, is that despite the best efforts of the Verizon salesman (and he did try his hardest, there isn't a spec of dust under the cover) the edges don't stick. This is because the phone's glass curves to the edge. This leaves a tiny bit of the protector that isn't stuck down. Not only does this look bad, but it's also going to attract dust and pocket lint to get in there.
Furthermore, the screen protector also detracts from the aesthetics of the phone, it shows finger prints much more than the gorilla glass 2 does, and it adds a very slight color tint.
I think I'm going to remove it and just go without.
If you like Zagg then xtremeguard already has the DNA protectors available. Current sale means they are only 5 bucks a pop. I have used them before and was very pleased.
That is strange I got the Verizon screen protectors and don't have the issue ..however mine isn't edge to edge .. did he give you some type of aftermarket or does it have the droid stamp on it ..?

The Verizon protectors not covering the entire screen (not edge to edge, only the part that's illuminated) is a deal breaker for me. I'll just keep shopping around.
Also, I have nothing against Zagg. I've used Zagg on two devices and they held up great without any of the (noticeable) orange-peeling effect I've read about. My only big complaint with them is the outrageous price.

The ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Screen Protector is the best!
Are screen protectors even necessary? I owned my DROID X for 2 yrs without a screen protector and it looked as good as the day I bought it. That only had Gorilla Glass 1, it looks like Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be thinner is all, and I assume the same strength.
I am not for one going to put one on. Besides I love how silky smooth the screen is, and despise others with their sticky rough screen protectors.

Because of the curved edges the display has, I doubt there will be ones that will cover the whole thing, unless they come curved... I don't use screen protectors, but for those that do, that's most likely all you will get.
The more I use the phone, the more I'm thinking about just skipping the screen protector this time around. It seems pretty substantial on its own and the great, smooth feel is something I wouldn't want to lose (along with the clarity of the awesome screen, too).

I just can't use screen protectors no matter what. Some of them have a haze foggy look to them, others feel a tad sticky, and sometimes I'll have the tiniest dust particle under the glass or just a small bubble around one of the edges. <<<---- Each, and everyone of these drive me nuts! Also the touch never feels the same, or as smooth. I don't know about most of you, but I'm very anal about my phones, and never had any glass damage, or scratches for that matter.
My final word.... GO NAKED!!!!!!

I work in construction sites a lot. And I use my flash light app a lot. I will sometimes lay my phone screen down above the ceiling. There is always metal shavings and chunks of cement up there and I do not have the smallest hint of a scratch on my screen. I have also dropped it on concrete and asphalt, still nothing.
I honestly think it is a sales gimmick.

I have a Gnex right now... went naked with that and it was a mistake. I have 2 or 3 small hairline scratches and I take pretty decent care of my phone. I dislike screen protectors but I dislike scratches even more.
i've had an old LG Xenon (text phone) i had a cheap case on it which i ended up destroying after repeated drops on concrete, I've even cracked the screen a little on the side with the case and screen protector on, but after all of that i went naked anticipating an upgrade, but i've dropped it off a 2nd story porch straight down onto concrete with screen face down and not even a scratch. I think that the screen itself will survive alot of impacts, it's the rest of the body (as well as the corner of the screen) that can't take the damage.
I'm going no screen protector, but will put a case on it once the one i want comes out. I dont believe it makes enough of a difference to counter the cons of it.
Hey people, just wanted to do my part and contribute.

Could you possible elaborate on which particular brands of screen protectors you got? You know, for research purposes
No, but I was there when my brother and his SO both put zaggs on their piXeL and they did end up with the slightly exposed screen on either side. Very very poor work by zagg. PeehPs even more troubling was that they each had multiple protectors simply not adhering at the edges, which was frustrating. They went to Verizon to complain and were given free exchanges since the verizon folks said lots of people (of all phone types) had been having these exact issue with the zaggs recently. Definitely not touching them myself.
[2-Pack] Google Pixel Screen Protector, Dmax Armor [Tempered Glass] 0.3mm 9H Hardness, Anti-Scratch, Anti-Fingerprint, Bubble Free, Ultra-clear - Noticeable screen on both sides of a perfectly centered protector.
Pixel intelliGLASS HD The Smarter Galaxy Glass Screen Protector by intelliARMOR To Guard Against Scratches and Drops. HD Clear With Max Touchscreen Accuracy. - Noticeable screen on both sides of a perfectly centered protector.
[2-Pack] Klearlook Google Pixel 9H [Scratch Proof & Ultra Clear] Tempered Glass Screen Protector - This was the closest to covering the whole screen, but still not quite. Might have just stuck with this one if I'd realized the others were gonna be worse. Still would have bugged me though.
Google Pixel Screen Protector, Fosmon 3 Pack [Full Screen Coverage | HD Crystal Clear] TPU Sticky Coating Screen Shield for Google Pixel - This is not a tempered glass protector. Because it's so thin it was impossible to get off it's adhesive covers without touching the sticky side, also impossible to get it down centered and without bubbles because it was too thin. But it did cover the entire screen properly.
Google Pixel Screen Protector (5")[2-Pack], ILLUMI AquaShield Full Coverage Screen Protector for Google Pixel HD Clear Anti-Bubble Film - I bought this one the other day but it has not arrived yet. Figured i'd give the wet apply one a try because I can at least center it and it should cover the whole screen. I'll have to see how it feels though.
I put on a wet-apply protector the other day and am quite happy with it. I went with the Skinomi MatteSkin.
I've used matte protectors before and never stayed with them. I'm finding I really like this one, though. It has a satin kind of look that goes well with the black leather skin and colored "G" logo (Slickwraps).
