Best one hands down.
I used Ghost Armor on my evo 4g and just put it on my 3d and love it, much better then zagg (smoother) and they send you 2 of them, and if those get messed up they will send you new ones (you pay shipping on new ones, thats it, but you have to send your used ones back w/ supplied delivery method)

Im using the Zaggs smudge finger print resistant version and i like it.
im using SGP antifingerprint/antiglare
I'm using seidio ultimate screen guard. I had it on my evo 4g and liked it. I had the zagg on my 3vo at first but it was too sticky for me. The seidio screen guard is a lot smoother and goes on easily with no bubbles. I recommend it.
Boxwave crystal screen protectors
And boom goes the Shooter...
I also have the seidio but my experience with the application was far different. I guess its possible I got a bad one but there were specs on the back which became air bubbles which I can't remove. I have installed many screen protectors like this one but never had this much trouble. Unfortunately Seidio doesn't stand behind these.
On my original Evo 3D device I had a Zagg Invisibleshield on it. But, after I got a new phone I tried a screen protector simlar to the one in the ebay ad above. Although the actual screen protector I'm using now covers the entire screen, is really smooth, and came with a plastic clamshell case (that I'm not using).
The screen protector and plastic clamshell case are made by Beyond Cell.
Goodluck with whatever you choose...
had zagg no smudge protector, then switched to zagg regular. Smudge proof protector made screen look a bit cloudy to me. good luck on your search!

SGP Ultra Crystal are my favorite.
I've tried 4 different brands now, each has had it's own drawback.
Cloudy, gritty feeling, not as clear, some were "rubbery", some peeled up on the edges, one even smudged more than the glass.
In the end, I went back to just the plain screen, none were as ever as nice as the plain glass was.
I'll just have to be careful with my screen.
Just don't use the Sprint's store stock screen protector. The regular (glare) one had WAYYY too much reflection that I couldn't see anything. The non-glare one was a lot easier to read however it def. took away the quality of the screen. White seems to have rainbow crystals in them.
I'm also looking for a new screen protector now.
Why use a screen protector? I never get scratches unless i drop it.
Every screen protector ruins the screen quality more then even some small scratches and the glass on the Evo 3d is even stronger than on my Desire witch still looks great after more than a year with no protection at all.
No screenprotect is the way to go. Best feeling and experience

I pulled the zagg off of my Evo 4G for 2 months, and never have had one on my pre launch 3D. Both still have perfect screens. Raw dog is the way to go. They have gorilla glass, its very tough.

Was gonna mention this, the EVO 3d officially has gorilla glass which has a hardness rating of 7 I believe so unless you are always around sand/quartz or anything with a hardness rating above 7 like crushed diamonds all the time then you are fine going naked

Does your phone need a case? Does your phone need custom ringtones?
I think these are all questions you can pretty much gather up the answer for yourself. I'm not flaming, just saying.
To answer your question, this is more of a personal preference. I usually dont like to deal with screen protectors, but I got one that came with the otterbox case and I barely notice its there until I look around the edges of the qhd screen. No bubbles, no sticky stuff, streaks, perfectly perfect.

The OG Evo had gorilla glass, too. In all honesty, I used my OG Evo for a year with heavy usage and never put a screen protector on it. In the end, I only had a couple of minor surface scratches that you could only see in direct sunlight.

No, it doesn't. But if you want scratches, fine line scrap marks from objects such as coins, keys and even fingers..dirt gets on them..then go without. It amazed me on my first 3vo it scrathed from my fingers. Was surfing, git out and had sand and wax on em. You will not even notice if you get one.
watever type of glass it is it WILL scratch!!!! I have two micro scratches that show up when sunlight or other bright light reflects just right... basically looks like cobweb effect on car's surface in sunlight... not that bad but i suppose it could get that bad. Invest in a quality screen protector and save urself the paranoia
When the 3D first came out, everybody was running around saying it was Gorilla Glass without actually verifying it first. Not that it matters so much, as its all scratchable, just some a little less than others.
I emailed HTC and they emailed me back saying that they did not believe that the 3D's were made with Corning Gorilla Glass, but that it was likely it was HTC's similarly comparable proprietary glass. You can take that however you want.
Do you "need" underwear pretty much its up to do you like it naked, I love the feel of the smooth gorilla glass. But that's me its your phone your life. Do what thou wilt with your phone

I'm not sure how different the org EVO is to the 3D, but from personal experience, the EVO 4G's screen is easily breakable (all the people I work with had EVOs and half of them had broken screens.) If the 3D is the same case, then I'd say go for it.
I personally want a screen protector even on my SGSII. It make sure no scratches ever occur.
i mean my screen protector feels no different than my original screen i just keep it on for protection

This.
It comes down to the fact you can take your chances and deal with scratches if (when) they happen, or you can shell out $20 and protect your screen from getting scratches to begin with.

A screen protector is not going to save the glass from breaking, lol. IMHO this phone does not need a screen protector unless you are constanly placing the phone in your pocket and exposing it to sharp objects. For the guy who said his finger scratched the glass, I lol'd. You must have sand paper fingers.
I bought a bunch of cheap screen protectors on ebay. They're pretty awesome...virtually invisible, and feels smooth as glass. Glad I got it. I went to the beach a few weeks ago and the sand would've scratched the hell out of my screen. I just removed the damaged protector, and put a new one on.
Yup..was always very careful with mine. One day I noticed a scratch, now this things worthless to me...wear protection.

this is an interesting topic as i'm getting an evo 3d, i currently have a HD2 and have had it for over 2 years now, never had a screen protector and i have it in my pocket with keys and coins sometimes and there is not a single blemish on the screen!
but my friend has a sensation only had it 3 weeks and has a few nasty scratches, maybe we should be questioning the qulity of the glass on recent devices?

You will get scratches if you don't use a screen protector in a year or so.
The Gorilla glass on the Evo3d is very good, but it's not perfect.
I took my protector off. No scratches after a month of heavy use. Oh, and it feels and looks SOOO much better w/o one. I guess that goes for a lot of things haha
Hello. I just got myself a evo 3d and I noticed there aren't much screen protectors for this phone here, especially in Canada. I know Future Shop has a Zagg, but 2 ppl said it was too long... Then I see XO on Youtube and that's it.
I got one from a small shop and the guy put it on for me there, but now I have no clue what brand it is. It's 2 screen protector covers for the front screen and the back where the camera lens are. The guy says when put on a black surface, it's darker than the other protectors which means it's clearer or something.
Any idea how many screen protectors are actually out there, and which one I might have gotten? (or i could have gotten a no-name brand from China... hope not :/)
Thanks.
I think if you do a search there are a few threads about it... but, I hope someone replies with a few links.
I really need a new one myself and ALL the ones I buy from Sprint/Radio shack don't cover the entire front piece of glass (only one I found that does is the one that comes with the Otterbox) and i HATE the Zagg, it kills resolution and makes your phone look like an orange peel.
Anyway, I'm sure someone here can help you out a little more, I know there are several sites to order some.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Screen-Protector-Steinheil-Ultra/dp/B005AZ4KEW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Amazon will ship to canada right? I have that one, i love it and it fits the whole screen. They make two other kinds as well.
thanks, the review says it's matte, which means it's anti-glare and highly oil resistant? More than non-matte ones I assume?
I have a matte screen protector for my iPad2 and it's very oil resistant. The one I have for the EVO 3D is also supposed to be oil resistant, but it's nothing compared to the matte... Are all non-matte protectors like this?
I think I'm gonna get that once this one wears out. Thanks.
The one you have might be phantom skinz, It's what I use and I'm a big fan of it

I'm having a hard time finding a screen protector for my EVO 3D in Canada as well. I was going to get the Invisible Shield but read the same reviews as you did, that they're longer than the screen. Amazon.com doesn't ship to Canada.
I was reading up on Ghost Armor and might consider it. Or just go to the Asian mall and get one from them.

Best screen protector hands down. I had to put it on twice because I had an exchange for phones and it still works relatively well.

Hmmmmm.... I've used them for my o.g. evo 4g, but not for my 3d. I'm actually looking for the type that just cover the actual screen, (like the ones they sell at sprint). The only problem with the ones from sprint is that they scratch really easy, & if you're not careful when applying them you'll end up with a bunch of scratches I've tried so many from e-bay/amazon but they're never cut right, or don't line up

The zagg doesn't kill the screen I'm not sure which one you have. The matte zagg does decrease the brightness of the screen because of the matte finish. And it doesn't decrease the resolution because resolution isn't the brightness of the screen...

I got a zagg invisishield for $12 shipped on ebay. Reduces smudges and glare which is nice. Also the lifetime warranty is nice to have. You usually get a replacement a week after you request one.

Get this one. It's one of the best clear screen protectors I've used on a phone, and I've used steinheil and the like. The fit is better than most, others are rather conservative and cut their protectors shorter to make install easier. This one fits close to the edge and still installs very easily. Just get it.
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.

Ever since my OG days, I have Always had a screen protector on my phone. Have had it on my dna since release as well, but now I'm thinking, the only reason I would be afraid to take it off is for drops. Cracks aside, does anybody who has dropped their phone without a screen protector had scratches show up? How strong are these screens really?

I've never used the ghost armor.
I have used the invisible shield before they were popular and you HAD to buy from their web site. While it was second to none protection there was always a little tackiness to it when trying to slide on the screen and so when I got my first smartphone it was irritating and I took it off. I didn't use one on my Rezound and there are a couple of really tiny scratches in the screen from when I put my keys in the same pocket like a dummy one day. So when I got my DNA, I saw the HD protector at best buy and paid them to put it on. The first time they put it on, I noticed a couple of things I didn't like and made them open another one and do it again. Worth the money right there. Lol.
As far as the protector goes, it is really pretty much as good as the glass was. Nice and smooth and can really barely only tell it is there. It is an excellent protector in every regard.
Naked feels best.

Maybe 1/8 of an inch plus another 1/8 overlap on the screen. It still feels thin.
