Has anyone found a good screen protector for the camera that doesn't take away from picture quality?

Heard good stories about that one. Mine are in the mail.

I received mine and its now on the phone. Got 2 for 1 deal with total of $7.46 shipped. It comes with a screen and camera protector(2x). The camera protector is a must for anyone with a case that doesn't cover the camera.
I took the $7.50 and basically kissed it good bye for the screen protector. Mine came out cloudy no matter how long it dried (well after three days I was tired of waiting).
Got a Zagg screen protector and within 12 hours it was how it should be.... don't know if I like the smudge proof thing though. Kind of puts a weird, almost glare, on the screen.
I did keep the phantomskinz camera protector on though. I have used the phone nekkid since I got the PS screen protectors in the mail, and don't intend on taking it off (the camera at least)
Either one of you guys want to sell me your extra camera protector? Already got one for my screen, been trying to cut up my old 4g's steinheil to make a camera protector but the edges won't adhere. I'll give you $2.50, that's a whole tpu case off ebay!
does it have a cutout for flash on the glass?
Where do you get 2 for 1 for 7.46?

I believe it just comes with two, as their website mentions in the banner ads
If anyone doesn't have a screen protector yet, I'd highly recommend picking this one up: http://www.martinfields.com/US/MFOP-HTCEVO3D
I've used MartinFields screen protectors for years and they are awesome.. best part is that they come with a camera protector as well. The only reason I don't have one on my EVO 3D is because they just released it two days ago, and I couldn't wait that long. They are static cling and feel like glass. Consider it!
As for me, I'm going to try and cut my own camera protector... we'll see how that goes.

OP "summersale25" is the discount code to get the phantomskinz for $7.46
Not sure if this really qualifies as a protector but I think it does. I just got a normal case and then Sprint send me an e-mail with an offer of a free skin from skinit.com. Went there and got my free skin. Put in on the phone and it seems to do the job, covering all the glass part that was left open by my case.

I was wondering if i really need to keep my screen protecter on or is the screen hard glass thanks
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yes, it does have gorilla glass and the screen protector is just personal preference, I have one just in case...
As far as it says on the gorilla glass website our phone has gorilla glass but I would highly recommend you keeping your screen protector. I already scrached another 3d
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Based on what I've seen, I believe the Evo 3D is listed on the Gorilla Glass website because the glass covering the camera is Gorilla Glass. It's my belief that the glass covering the cameras is GG and the glass on the front is not. I can't prove it but I bet if we looked into it, that's what we'd find.

Have you had any success getting a phone replaced for a screen scratch? I would think they would put that squarely into the "your fault " category...

I'm sorry were you under the misconception that the insurance only covers loss or something? Your fault category is precisely what insurance is for slick.
Mechanical or electrical failure, routine maintenance, and failure from normal wear and tear. File your replacement request within 60 days of incident.
Loss, theft, physical or liquid damage and resulting corrosion, and fire or lightning damage. File your replacement request within 60 days of incident.
The screen scratches just as easy as any phone. I had ny EVO screen scratch on me from my earrings. Forgot I had them on while talking on the phone and scratched my screen to all hell. Safe to say doesn't sound like gg to me.

I actually emailed HTC on this question a few weeks ago..the rep told me that neither the front screen or the back camera cover were gorilla glass..he said that they have used a glass that is comparable or better than gorilla glass.but on the corning site it shows as having gorilla glass
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc
No offense but most everyone knows that the reps aren't exactly the most knowledgeable of people.
If it's listed on Corning's site it must be true, they can't really lie about where their product is and isn't being used, it's bad business.
Also my phone's glass is pretty damn strong, I've dropped it on a metal seat belt and I don't have anything to show for.

Its been officially stated that the screen is GG and the camera lens protector is just plastic (albeit a strong plastic).
I dont bother with screen protectors. My Evo 4G (not GG) never had a protector for a little over a year and never had an issue. If you treat your stuff right, it should stand upto any "normal" abuse. Of course its preference.
Yeah, everyone sweats over whether it has Gorilla Glass or not, it's still just glass. Every phone now has hardened glass, they all don't scratch from metal, and they all scratch from the same sand and what not. Who cares if it's officially Gorilla Glass or not?
FYI:
EVO 4G x2. Evo# 1 never got a scratch. Evo #2 (Wifes Evo) scratched......insurance replaced without a deductible (I have no idea how that happened...lol).
EVO 3D's NAKID as well...and will be....for me screen protectors just make the touch screen feel crappy......

Most metal is harder than any kind of glass (Except maybe gold). Specially if you have any kind of gemstone in your earrings. Gorilla glass != Indestructible.
For what it is worth:
I dropped a small hardened steel drill bit from 8 inches and it chipped my screen. (this was by accident as I had it under my work station). The chip immediately turned into a crack the moment I touched the phone. I bought a replacement digitizer to replace myself...
The outcome: The outer glass/digitizer is 1.40mm/0.055in thick. It is fairly tangible. Replacing the digitizer is a b---h, and I mean that as the LCD and digitizer cannot be accessed easily, if at all, from inside the phone.
And, my new screen got a tiny scratch from a razor blade on my work desk. I do not think this is a specialty glass. I would advise caution and possibly a case & screen protector...
i dont know about you guys but my Evo3D has DIAMOND GLASS !!! I have a pure diamond screen. **** gorilla glass !!!!
There are so many reports of broken and scratched Evo 3D screens already, why take the chance. Just search the forums, you'll find a several gouged and shattered screens here. Phone insurance doesn't cover cosmetic issues (like scratched glass), only functional issues.
Taking care of the phone helps, but accidents happen. I had 4 Evo 4G's, 3 were mint, 1 had a scratched screen, they all had screen protectors and cases from the time they came out of the box.
Since the Photon has gorilla glass, I don't understand why I would put a piece of plastic on the screen to protect it from scratches. Why are people buying screen protectors? Screen protectors were invented when the glass was prone to scratching.

Because gorilla glass isn't scratch proof, its scratch resistant. I've already got a tiny chip on the face (barely noticeable) from accidentally dropping it flat on the face onto the floor at work (tile floor)
The phone feels better without one but the screen protector is a must. I just need to find the right one that doesn't interfere with the amazing feeling of my raw screen

Also depends on what you do for a living, your activities, how you carry your phone, etc. I use one because my job requires me to be in the office and the field. However, others never use screen protectors on any phone and never get a scratch. I love how the screen feels without it but until I'm close to my upgrade date the protector is staying on.
I haven't used a screen protector for years ....treat it like a laptop

1. What they said!
2. My last 4 phones as soon as I got them I walked immediately across the mall and got GhostArmour installed. Now I have OtterBox.
3. Although I treat Photon like 2-day old baby, I would not be caught dead without screen protector. I have sold all my phones for more than I paid from them and when I say "Not a scratch on it" I mean exactly that!

$300.00? LMAO!
I paid $600.00 to tell Sprint "Give me the box and kiss my black a**, I'm not signing anything!
$50.00 for 32Gb Class 10 MicroSDHC Card I got in mail the same day.
$45.00 to have GhostArmor Installed.
$34.00 drinking at Fridays while GhostArmor Installed.
$39.00 back to Sprint because I wanted new leather case.
Subtract drinks, $734.00! da** skippy I will kick out a few $$$ for some protection!!! (But, before anyone calls me a sucker, I got $300.00 for Evo with SanDisk Class 2 32Gb!) So, $434.00, again, without drinks at Fridays but the joy of dissing Sprint!
i have used screen protectors on every, from my evo, to my ds, to point and shoots, if its got glass and its mobile, it has a protetor however i broke that with my mopho. it hat 2 almost invisible nicks on it when i bought it [off contract unblemished aside from those two nicks] for 250, with box and everything.
ive since noticed what i can best describe as swirl marks. they look like a bad orbital polish on a cars paint job. that being said its only noticable under bright light with the screen brightness down. so i just let auto brightness do its thing and i dont really notice them.
I like the anti glare ones i can't stand the shinyness and all the finger prints off the regular screen, drives me crazy, also i like the matte feel of them too.

Always a screen protector for me. Probably not necessary for me - it's usually in a dress shirt pocket, sometimes a holster.
But, once in a while, in a jeans pocket -- and all it takes is a few pieces of sand in a jeans pocket.... (Some of the harder mineral particles in sand are about all that appear to scratch Gorilla Glass)
Seidio screen protector all of the way!
I never bought a screen protector for my photon, was broke after buying it, but I don't feel the need to get one.
I usually don't like the feel of screen protectors, a lot I've tried stick too much. If I were going to buy one I'd get a Steinheil, used one on my Evo and it felt like the protector wasn't even there.
First, use a screen protector, later retracted, now, after two months - not a scratch. The main thing - the careful use!

I would believe it has Gorilla glass. My phones screen was quite touch and very resistant to scratches. I keep the phone in my cupholder while I drive (bad idea really) and with the way I drive the phone falls to the other side and back multiple times. Every time it falls on way the corner of my cupholder always slams into the screen. Never had a problem, crack, weird looking spot, or anything. Ive dropped my phone 3 or 4 times too and no damage to it. Hmm. I am a horrible person for taking care of my phone...

All glass is not created equally, and the way the HTC reps put it is (not exact words but you know)
" it either has gorilla glass or Our alternative of the same specifications as gorilla glass" something along those lines ..
And at the end of the day it is still 4.3 inches of glass, its very scrachable and very breakable...

Its just Funny how i never got scratches on my phone until i got a screen protector (cheap one by the way) and suddenly i started to get a bunch of small scratches .
By the way i thought Gorilla glass just makes it harder to crack the screen instead of more scratch resistant
can anybody tell me what Gorilla glass really do

LOL...The scratches are on your screen protector not on your screen....
Though the gorilla seems sturdy, i still don't feel it can within a drop from waist down to the floor (taking out of pocket and dropping is common) so i am careful. but i have no protection on screen either. I have seen scratches on cowboom which sells used 3d's and they have photos, i have seen bad scratches on 3d.
i don't believe gorilla doesn't scratch from falling on cement, sorry.

I've had it a few days now, and i swear i have been consciously very careful with it, but i have a few scratches on my screen. only really noticeable when the screen is off, but still a pain in my ass.
i made sure nothing else was in my pockets and everything. i really don't know how they got there.
so if you're of the protection persuasion then yeah put one on imo.

Scratch resistance? None. My 2 year old Desire has less than this after a month..
It's really sad, if you think about it. The GS3 has Gorilla Glass 2. If anything, it should be much harder to scratch.
That being said, my employer ordered a bunch for a launch event and all but one came back with multiple scratches on the screens. I get the distinct impression that even the iPhone's screen is more scratch resistant. Why are we going backward?
No gorrilla glass screen is scratch resistant. Sometime or the other it will definitely get a scratch. Be wary of the small minute particles like salt, dust..etc if there aint any screen protector....
If u dont want to apply a screen protector and want to keep it scratch free, here's how :
1.Take the phone
2. Put it in its box and seal it
I guarantee screen will not get a single scratch.

I have had many phones and I have never used a screen protector on any of them. I also have never scratched the screen on a single one. So, I can assure you that there is more than one answer to "not scratching your screen" and your ridiculous response is wildly unnecessary.
Gorilla glass is supposed to be scratch resistant. That's basically its entire claim to fame. What it isn't is shatter resistant. It is hardened to the point where things like keys and razor blades won't scratch it, but it becomes more brittle and a direct impact will shatter it. This information is freely available on the web.
In the case of the glass on the GS3, it doesn't even seem to be scratch resistant. I have heard cases of the HTC One X scratching easily as well, and it also uses Gorilla Glass 2. Very disappointing.

This is the common misconception of people who think gorrilla glass is scracth resistant. Gorrilla glass only protects the screen from cracking when slipped from the hands or pocket. Its not scratch resistant.
Gorilla glass 2 is more thinner and more fragile than Gorilla Glass 1.
The main weakness of gorrilla glass is small minute particles that have settled on the screen.
Dont believed it...???
Take a particle of salt on your fingertip and spread it on the screen. Have a look on clear sunlight and you will see a light scratch (depending on the force).

you are incorrect
gorilla glass IS made to be scratch resistant and not drop resistant.
also gorilla glass 2 is not more fragile then gorilla glass 1, gorilla glass 2 is 20% thinner but same strength
personally they shouldnt have made it 20% thinner instead same thickness and 20% stronger

My cruzerlite cases put a couple light scratches on my marble white gs3 after a day or two. Probably dust that was trapped inside, i can always buy a new backplate.
Honestly, I'm of the opinion (<--note that keyword) that anyone with scratches on this device is doing something wrong. I've had the phone just over two weeks. I don't have a screen protector, or even a case for it. It's just like it was when I got it out of the box (except that I actually put the battery in it and removed all the sticky transparent film from it). I constantly have this in my pocket with nothing besides the occasional spare change to keep it company. No scratches. At all.
