I'm looking for a screen protector with anti-glare if possible, what is the best one to buy?
Was going to suggest Skinomi, then saw you need anti glare. I never found one I liked with "ant glare", and I don't know of any for the View/Flyer. Sorry =/
If anti-glare becomes too difficult to find, then I highly suggest the Skinomi. I have it on 3 of my tablets currently, and have tried multiple different companies protectors including whatever Sprint sells, BestSkinEver, Zagg, Bodyguardz and a bunch of generic ebay screen protectors. After trying all the other brands, the Skinomi is my favorite and all I'll use on any touchscreen device now.
Don't know about "best", but I quite like the Skinomi (wet apply) protector on my Flyer as well.

I have Bodyguardz on my phone, which is also a good protector. They didn't make protectors for the Flyer, when the tablet when the first came out (why I decided to try Skinomi) but now they do. They have anti-glare, but its backordered:

I use this one

You're ordering from Hong Kong, so it takes a while, and the credit card hassle with overseas orders. But really high quality.
I am currently using this one from Amazon. The only thing is you have to use a hole punch to create the hole for the front camera. Other than that, it is a great screen protector that is matte.
Forum wont let me post links yet, so search for Great Shield Ultra Anti Glare screen protector for HTC Flyer.
Official htc screen protectors are £5 ($8) on amazon uk, they're great.
Any of these work better with the pen?
It's not anti-glare, but I have this screen protector, and it's fantastic. Perfect size with cut outs where they're needed. Very easy to apply as well. I use the Scribe daily, and this screen protector works great with it.
GreatShield Ultra Smooth Clear Screen Protector Film for HTC Flyer / Sprint EVO View 4G
I tried an anti-glare screen protector when I first received my View, but the graininess was much too distracting for what I primarily use it for - reading. On phones, I generally don't have a problem with the graininess that anti-glare screen protectors add. But that's probably because I'm not staring at my phone and reading for hours at a time. The size difference in the screen also makes it more pronounced. I'll put up with having to wipe finger prints off and making adjustments to avoid glare to have a better overall experience. This is the anti-glare screen protector that I used - HHI HTC EVO View 4G Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Glare, Matte Finishing Screen Protector. It did the job quite well, but it just wasn't for me on a screen this size.
I'm considering buying an anti-glare one for my Flyer because I'm getting tired of adjusting the angle when working on my tablet.
I was wondering how the stylus works on these anti-glare screen protectors? The one I have on now (simple screen protector) gets scratched easily when using the stylus.
Are these behaving better?
Anti Glare, expensive but from a good company... http://www.boxwave.com/htc-flyer-screen-protectors/htc-flyer-cleartouch-anti-glare/bwpdd/f-ztwp/

I've had this clear screen protector applied since late December. I use the tablet with the Scribe daily, and I have yet to get a single scratch on it.
When I used this anti-glare screen protector, the Scribe never left a scratch either. The Scribe worked fine with it, but since the screen protector was somewhat thicker than a clear one (which seems to be the norm with anti-glare screen protectors in my experience), I did experience some issues with it not always registering and a loss in precision at time. But it wasn't anything that was terribly noticeable most of the time. I Haven't had any problems with the clear GreatSheild in the that department.
Thank you for your answer.
Surely the screen protector I have on right now is of lower quality and I'll have to change is ASAP. I'll just have to decide between a clear or anti-glare one. But since the viewing angle and outside readability are still issues for me, I think I'll go for the anti-glare one.
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.

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?
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-lte-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
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.
Has anyone had any luck with a certain brand of screen protector? Is there any brand that has given you problems? I've never used cases or screen protectors because I rather have a decent looking phone for a while or some knicks than an ugly case and bubbly screen. But lately I've used some friends' phones that I didn't even realize had screen protectors on. Unfortunately, they came with the phones, so I still don't know what a good brand is.
If anyone has a sleek case they really like, list that too
This belongs in accessories.

Anyone found a decent screen protector for this thing?
There isn't a tempered glass screen protector for Galaxy View. which would easily be the best out there. There is plastic screen protectors which can be bought from Amazon USA or UK.
I bought one from USA this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017KZI3YW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it's bit tricky to put it on and a bag from China https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018W0O0MI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'll give that one a try. Thanks. Reading the reviews on all the protectors available for this thing is discouraging.
It's very difficult to apply a plastic screen protector on galaxy view. I ruined my £18 screen protector I bought from USA because it was too difficult to put on. I'm not worried since my tablet screen doesn't have a single scratch at all without it
The illumishield installed good for me. Took a lot longer than any I've ever installed since it's a huge screen but it's bubble free with no flaws in it.
Hi everybody.
I have been testing a couple of screen protectors in the past and wanted to share my experince with you.
The best one in my opionen is from SAMSUNG itself. It simply has the best quality. If you buy it on amazon its only $11. (http://amzn.to/2xGpWWs) I think for 2 screen protectors thats a good value for the money.
I even made a video review about it to tell what I like about it. If you are interested in it you can watch it here:

What are your experiences with screen protectors? I am curious. Share your opinions here
Though mine isn't really a screen protector, I am using the lifeproof case for my S8. Have been very happy with it. The screen protector built into the case is already curved so it fits easily. People have complained about issues with the curved part of the touchscreen and responsiveness. I have not experienced this issue at all. I have always had good luck with the Zagg Glass Protector with other phones, not sure how that is with the S8. Something to potentially look at for people.

I see. THe big problem with most of the screen protectors for me was that most of them could not hold to the edges and came off pretty early. So that's a big criteria for a good screen protector. THe one by samsung still covers my whole front after months which is one of the many reasons I like it so much.
Glass protectors are to thick and make the phone too thick in my opionion. But maybe I should give it another shot..
yes but glass protectors are designed to protect your screen in an accident, the normal film ones you have will not protect your screen from accidental damage, i presently have a htc phone with a glass screen protector on it and it has saved my phone many times as the glass screen protector cracked but the screen underneath was unmarked. I know have a samsung s8, i bought two glass screen protectors from amazon uk, the reviews were made by 72 viewers and almost 100%. i fitted the screen protector perfectly and it didnt stick to the curve edges and was very unresponsive to touch , i sent them back for full refund which i got. most importantly most of the reviews are fake reviews, amazon should stop this. ive left my feedback on amazon.
These flimsy plastic screen protectors make no sense to me. Your phone glass is already harder than anything you'll throw into your pocket. The metal on your keys and **** can't scratch your screen anyway and all these would do is protect from scratches by getting scratched themselves.
People want screen protectors to protect from cracking and shattering the phone not to protect from scratches. The screen is already mostly scratch proof unless you're rubbing it up against a pointy edge of some harder glass which I seriously don't think you'd be doing.
Anyone try Nano Fix it?

best Screen Protector for the S8
I almost feel bad that I underestimated the installation part as I almost wanted to throw the first screen protector I used. If done correctly and patiently, you will have a premium looking phone. Don’t rush it if you don’t want to regret it. So for you guys who are afraid of the “wet installation”, give it a try. It was a bit difficult for me, but I’ll do it again if it means maintaining the high quality of my Samsung Galaxy S8. And besides, the S8.

I bought this one, though I will give it a try. It works perfect and holds very strong as well. I bought same brand for s7 edge and it is the same quality.

i tested this one works perfectly
the guard actually sticks to the device via glue with UV just like whitestone one but is lot cheaper
I don't use any screen protector, I realized that touching and stroking the screen was very sensational.
I can totally agree with you. In the past, I've always used multiple screen protectors.
I have my S8+ device a bit over a year now and I can see only a micro-scratches, which are invisible in the daily usage.
Besides, what's the point of buying screen protectors for, let's say 50$ and replace them every year? I'd rather save this money and buy sooner the new, fresh model.
Hi. I would like to know what you all end up using on your screen. I just bought me an S8+ and are desperately looking for a good screen protector that i can use with a case.
Please enlighten me
