So my 2 day old Note has a hairline scratch that is only visible with the screen off in the right light. I am told that if I get this screen protector it will more than likely hide the scratch, and obviously prevent new ones. I'm curious to hear if others have this and like it. I have never used a screen protector because I don't like the way they look and feel, but apparently this screen is very easily scratched, despite me only keeping it in my pocket by itself.

I had an invisibleShield on my Atrix and loved it. I also bought the ivs for the note and am sending it back tomorrow because it is for the European modle which means it has a button hole on the middle front. They don't make one for the ATT note yet but as soon as they do I am getting it.

Yes the Zagg or any Zagg type screen protector will make any light scratch invisible. I was the guy who posted about a scratch . Anyways my Zagg came in like a day after it happened, I put it on and I cant even see the scratch.
Does Zagg still have the orange peel look?

Yes it does and it kinda sucks, I always buy BSE skins (Best skins ever) but they only have the international version atm.
Have the Zagg Dry Invisi-Shield installed on mine, front and back protection, and both he dry and wet install shields leave little indented marks when you use the s-pen because they are soft. At first its barely noticeable but the little grooves build up over time. Just something to consider, depending on how much you use the s-pen.

I wish they would have just left the s pen off because I'm never going to use it. It should just be a smartphone, not even tablets come with stylist pens now days. Oh well, I'm still really enjoying the phone. Can't wait for ICS to come out and fix the stutter/non responsive bugs when flipping through home pages.
Check ebay. It's cheaper and free shipping.

I went to Best Buy and and exchanged the phone for a new one because of the scratch and bought the InvisibleShield. I'm not crazy about the Orange Peel look, but it's better than the scratched screen look.
i have the shield on mine as well........after having the rocket for 5 months and not having a case nor a screen protector i had to get one for the notes awsome screen.
and the S-pen is Great. i use it for texting and everything. the write to text is pretty accurate and fast when you get used to it. my only gripe is that with the Zagg shield the pen does not flow quite as smoothly so it hickups here and there when not applying just the right amount of pressure.
I actually wish that it had the physical home button like the Intl version. I saw some neat tips and tricks -such as disable touch screen -which would be great for movies, etc -especially with children...
I went with the Rearth Ringbo screen cover. Cant comment since I ordered it this AM.

I was 1 click away from ordering that. I ended up with the SGP because I didn't know which was better. I haven't done screen protector shopping in a while. Is the Rearth better than
SGP?
I just learned after buying the Invisible Shield that even though they offer a lifetime "free" replacement, it costs $4 for them to ship it to you and you have to pay to ship it back. In what world is that free?
I bought the invisible sheild today from bestbuy. Not really liking how it feels "tacky" compared to the slick glass. Something to keep in mind when considering purchasing it.

I bought the Zagg tonight, installed it and thought I had it on perfect! Was all proud of myself. Went to go turn the screen on and all these rainbow colors and weird looking dots all over between the screen and shield! I was so pissed. I think I sprayed too much of their liquid on. I should have just paid Best Buy to install. What a waste of money. $22 down the drain.
bought some screen protectors on Amazon to get here Thursday and then 6x off of eBay. I don't care if I have to replace one a month. I'm not spending $20 anymore on one screen protector.
Zagg has also started making an HD version of there screen protector, this one does not give you the orange peel look like the old ones. Right now i think it is only for the Iphone but give it some time they will probity start making them all like that.

UPDATE:
I finally received my invisibleSHIELD the other day. Past by my local kiosk that does the professional install. After 1 hour give or take I went back to the store. Right away the store attendant told me it looked sharp and I had to agree with him. To my surprise it looked better than I thought. I purchased the full body protection and it pretty much wrap the entire body. The kit fits almost perfectly on every curve and holes. The mocha color has a glaze look to it like a coat of glaze you would apply on wood. He told me I shouldn't put it in my pocket or place it in any case for at least 24-48 hours, letting the process take place and reduce the lint and dust. During the first 24 hours, it did felt the rubbery feel to it. It felt awkward at first. However after my first 24 hours, that rubbery feel disappeared / less noticeable. Not sure if I got use to it or it takes a while for the product to settle. Now waiting for ProClip to release its device holder for the T-Mobile version.
Comparison: Screen Protector that came with my HTC Rhodium vs. invisibleSHIELD - no comparison. After couple of days with the stock, there were visible signs of scratches from my nail and stylus. invisibleSHIELD - none. The only thing that the stock has over the invisibleSHIELD is that it was more flush and didn't have any major gap. I can't complain.
Overall: I'm happy with it and I don't have to worry about it getting scratched or dent with the full body kit.
I would strongly advise not getting an invisibleshield. My friend bought one and its not really touch screen friendly. Its very squishy (for lack of a better description) and when using the stylus and or finger on the screen you finger/ stylus gets stuck, almost sticky like. The screen does not react to many of the screen taps or slides.
My friend hated it so much he had to replace it with a generic screen protector (but he kept the rest of the body on.)
Try the Bodyguardz, they're somewhat similar but they are much more responsive and easier to deal with, and you get 2 sets with each one-
http://www.bodyguardz.com/content/accessories/57---2007.htm
I'm waiting for bestskinsever.com to get it. I've been using them ever since I had my Blackberry Curve 8320 and I think they are the best. Works great and without any problems with touch screen devices, I have it on my iPod Touch.
As of right now I'm using the piece of crap one that came with the phone. Got a few scratches on it already, I mean as long as it keeps my screen safe then I don't care.
same here and i hate the one that came with it.
I tried an InvisibleShield on my TP2 last week. It went on easy enough with just a few bubbles that slowly dissipated over a few days, but it is definitely not touch screen friendly - using your stylus with it feels like dragging the stylus through treacle.
Luckily it came off easily enough too....

I'm waiting for bestskinsever as well. I just noticed last night that i have minor scuffs that you can't really see on my screen unless you look under a light. I tried to install the original screen protector & it just didn't want to go on.
Oh well.
Bodyguardz...... I have the screen protector and its great!!! "the one that came with it"? I looked at that for a second (us tmo) and it only looked like an template to me...lol
Did you guys buy the full protector or just the screen protector from bodyguardz? How's the full version? Does it fit well?
Hello, I found one that works well. It is from www.clearprotector.com I bought the entire phone protector and am very impressed. I did have to use a heat gun to shrink the edges a little on the battery cover, but that was because I did not align it very well As for the screen, it did feel a little on the sticky side for the first week, but as of now I cant hardly notice it and I personally dont feel that it had made the screen any less responsive. Overall a good investment vs. a beat up phone.

He is saying the surface of the protector is much more "grabby" then the oem protector or protector's like Boxwave and Martin Fields. It is much harder to slide your finger with these types (body guardz, zagg, etc...)
I got news for you, Bestskinsever uses the same material as the zagg stuff.. I ordered a universal cut your own kit. Its just as sticky as Zagg (which I have also owned before)..
So sounds like body guardz is also the same material, yes?
So, I bought this slide screen protector last week for two dollars from ebay and I thought it was too good to be true but they are actually great, here is the link if you want it:http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-XtremeGUARD-HTC-MYTOUCH-SLIDE-3G-Screen-Protector-/230487883667?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35aa25ff93#ht_2384wt_1137 I cant even tell I have it on! make sure you follow the directions!!
i was going to make this same thread whenever i bought mine lol, these screen protectors are perfect, and easy to do, i literally used one hand to do it(i recently got a bad cut on my other hand)
2 dollars is to cheap not to try just bought one now im excited hopefully will work good already got a little scratch on the side of my screen
Ordered one. Thanks!

For sure ordered one. $2 is worth it no matter what. thanks for the post.
Sweet! I've been waiting for BSE to come out with theirs but so much for that. Thanks for sharing.
are these the stupid protectors that tell you to install them with water? I ordered a set of 3 protectors off amazon for 2 bucks because they were the only ones available when the phone first came out and they all ended up in the trash within two days. I have ordered cheap protectors for my G1 and you just have to clean the screen and put the protectors on and it comes out perfect. Also I notice a lot of the new protectors are made of some rubbery stretchy material and not plastic like the ones I am use to.
Why not read the description and FAQ's in the link before you make a judgment. If you don't like it, return for a refund. Yes you use A LITTLE soapy water but as long as you don't drown your slide you should be good. After two weeks, this thing is still looking new .
Just ordered, hope its as good as you say =P
So far so good. There appears to be some slight distortion, I hope that it will clear up as the moisture evaporates and the protector adheres to the screen. Not sure if it is just a mental thing, but screen actually seems to be a bit more precise with this rather than the regular screen protector.

Got mine in today. Everything looked cool until I put it on. That's when I noticed a piece of lint or something stuck just near the right edge. Couldn't get it off for the life of me. Sucks. Gonna order another one. Good thing these are only $2.
I got thr same screen protector and it is just as good as any high dollar one. Worth the $2
This thing is awesome! It really looks nice I am very impressed, for $2 its one of the best investments out there for your phone.
I did have distortion the the first day but it cleared up to be crystal clear. Ordering another for my g/f tonight.
Edit: Just wanted to say that this protector does not leave smudges or finger prints at all. Had a protector on my HD2 and I still had aton of smudges and finger prints even with the protector.

It took about 4 days for mine to arrive. Its coming from Utah so it shouldn't take that long.
Ordered it on a Sunday night and it came in the following Saturday.
They ship it in a regular envelope, so delivery times arent guaranteed.
Just wondering, from what part of the phone to what part does this cover? I mean like, from just above the buttons to the end of the black outline on the phone? or just strictly the parts you touch the screen?
Hey everyone, I made this post to ask around and see if anyone has tried out the ZAGG Invisible shield for the Mytouch Slide, and what do you all think about it.
I'm thinking of buying it but would like to get some feedback first.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I have it on my slide it has allready saved my screen my daughter dropped mine and it scratched the screen shield and it saved my screen.They have a lifetime warranty they are a little difficult to put on so if you are getting it at a store let them do the install and whatever you do make sure you leave your phone of for 12 to 24 hours. 1 is it helps and all the bubles realease and 2 they use a liquid spray on each piece when they install it.And you dont want anything wet when you turn it back on. I swear by mine. And I live in Utah where they are headquartered.I have an in so I get alot of free skins and stuff.
I wont use any protector that requires a spray or water to apply the protector. I'm waiting for the plastic static cling protectors to come out. I used them on my G1 all the time and they are simple to put on without any bubbles and plus the are pretty cheap. These new rubbery screen protectors feel weird, they say its some high tech military material or some garbage. I just want a simple plastic protector that sticks to the screen with no solution. There's a ton for the G1 I dont know why they havent released any for the slide yet.
I'm not too sure about Invisible Shield, but I recently installed a bodyguardz full body protector on my slide and so far I love it. The major advantage I see over invisible shield is that, for about the same price, bodyguardz gives you two sets of protectors in case you botch the first installation (which I did). Overall, after a few days after the second installation I only have a few small bubbles and I actually love the feel of it overall... since installing the protector, I have found it much more easier to type accurately in swype, but that may just be me. There is also no negative effect on the touch screen in any way if you were worried about that.

invisable shielde
whats up man. i just wanted to let you know about my personal expirences with invisible shields. i personally have had one on every htc phone ive ever owned (touch pro, touch pro II, HD2, and now the mytouch slide 3G) and i love pretty much everything about them. they seriously are nearly scratch proof and honestly, during a fall it will protect your phone for the most part. installation can be a pain in the a$$, but you just have to brave about it and use plenty of the spray. use it ilberally on the actual shield and your finger-tips and it will make it pretty easy to position it. on the back peice just go ahead and soak that thing cuz its hard to get it right the first time. luckily if you do mess up, these things come with a lifetime replacement warrenty. all you have to do is give them back the old shield and they'll hook you up with a brand new one . once you figure it out though you'll appreciate it a lot. it gives the phone a really nice feel and it keeps it really well protected. me personally, i like to pair a full body invisible shield with a regular t-mobile screen protector. the reasoning behind this is, one, that ive discovered that it is nearly impossible to get the screen portion of the invisible shield on without bubbles underneth it for some reason (possibly because of how slick the screen is compared to the body of the phone?). and two, a touch screen is meant to be glided around on. it should be nice and slick and feel extremely smooth tothe touch, not all rubbery and sticky when warm. and finally, because it just plain looks better, straight up. your not going to get the same clean look of the plastic protector as you are from an invisible shield. yes the standard protectors are easier to scratch, but thats why they come in three packs. so you can replace em when nessesary. i find it easiest to place the protector down on the screen and position it properly, then take a piece of scotch tape and tape the side. that way you can peel up the backing and lay it down properly with a credit card as to get it perfectly positioned and without bubbles. if you follow my instructions you should be able to install with ease . ive really liked every invisible shield ive had, and the only problem ive found with them is that after time the edges of the shield will get dirty because of the adhesive on the back slowly being pressed out over time. that and the edges sometimes come up. but thats why they come with a warrenty, so you can replace em all you want . i tend to replace mine every 4 to 6 months. in the end i found that its a worth it investment if your the kind of person that wants to protect your phone but doesnt want to add a bunch of bulk to the phone from a case. it really allows the beauty of the phone to come out while still being protected. anyways, i hope my review will help you with your installation and help anyone else reading with their choice on wheather or not to purchase an invisible shield. i really like mine, and i hope you like yours too. enjoy
I have had the invisible shield on my last 3 phones and it is clean, discrete and it does everything that it is suppose to. I personally pay the extra money to have the representative put it on for me and call it a day. You will not be disappoint in the product and the others are just plain cheap and inefficient.

I've ordered those one at 0.99$ from China and do the Job #1. I change it as soon as the shiny finis is gone (after 3-4 month)
don't get it too thik because you lose touch screen sensibility.
i was just about to buy the htc's..
I don't know which flavor phone you have, but AT&T currently has a three pack online for $5.00

I ordered three packs as the phone is no longer online and I am sure these will be gone soon too.
Get the AT$T ones as they are a perfect fit. I bought some off eBay and while they fit they were just slightly larger overall. This makes them not sit flat on the screen giving you a slight bubble along the edge and you can feel the edge with your finger when you slide it across. I've lifted mine inadvertently a few time because of this.

That's exactly the reason i entered this thread. I have had a pair of mirror screen protector sitting in a drawer for moooonthssss. The previous one was my first, but it did the job and time forbiding, i left it alone. But tonight i took a few minutes and installed the first of my mirrored screen protectors!!!
WOW
i don't get why all the others are still available. People you won't believe it!
I didn't pick any specific ebay seller. Just hit the cheapest i saw( i also bought the tv out thingy from the same seller, haven't tried that one out either)
You may read around that it darkens the screen a bit. That may well be so but no remarkably enough to stop you from using it!

Update.
All good, apart from direct sunlight. Everyphone suffers in that area, mirror screen protector sucks worse!
Honestly get the Zagg ones. I dropped my HTC Touch Pro 2 twice, while running, face DOWN, and it skidded for like 5 feet. I've got scratches on the inside of the phone, on the case, but the screen itself is perfect. Best money I ever spent.

I second the Zagg. Garanteed protection. I am done with those cheap dozen for a penny protectors that last maybe a month, bubble up, don't fit, peal off, etc, etc... Sure they are cheap, but what a waste of time...
I typically go with the full body style from Zagg to provide an almost complete protection of the phone and enhance the style. You can buy them from Zagg.com, Amazon.com or if you prefer the touchy feely you can typically get them at Best Buy. Come with an applicator spray and squeegie to ensure there are NO bubbles!
Just my 2¢...
Hey all,
just wondering. Is screen protector needed for this phone? I got the Diztronic case from amazon, been with it about a month and a half. It comes with its own screen protector which I used from day 1.
It has some bubbles on the sides, barely noticeable, but I'm wondering if screen protector is really needed on this phone?
My old galaxy S 4g (t959v) had the same gorilla glass, never used screen protector and almost a year and a half later is still is intact, with some minor scratches that are only visible when phone is pointed towards the sun or a very bright light.
What I hate about these protectors is that you get to much fingerprints on it and it's hard to get off, even while using the provided cleaning cloth. It's like oil that won't get off easily. I remember my old sgs4g, it was easy to clean and fingerprints weren't as bad. Also, screen seems brighter. Don't know if this phone minimum brightness level is lower, but the sgs4g looks a LOT brighter on lowest brightness setting than this phone, which I hope is because of ROM and not because of screen protector. Though this should mean better battery life for me while indoors i guess.
What you guys think?
Its opinion and preference. Im fairly nice to my phones, I dont use a screen protector or a case. i also think pizza is better than hamburgers and like blondes over brunettes.

You must be wrong because I prefer hamburgers over pizza and brunettes over blondes.

I have used a protector on all my phones. Its not essential to use one but I think its worth because you eventually will get at least a small scratch on the device through normal usage and scratches are visible when you hold the screen(when it is off) under light. And I dont think that a screen guard would be a disturbing cause for the user experience unless its a low quality one. And it just saves the screen which might also help in getting you a higher resale value because your screen isn't scratched at all.
Well, I don't really like cases and protectors. I think they ruin the look and feel of the device, regardless of the type of case and how much they protect. I like my devices naked.

I had the captivate and I used it without a screen protector for almost a year without it getting any noticeable scratches. Then I got the S2 and within 2 weeks there was about a 1/2 inch scratch on the front, and I was incredibly careful with it. I would recommend using one.

I have both screen protector and case. As the other has mentioned, it's optional but good protection from scratch and ding. I occationally drop my SGS2 once in a while and I am glad I have those protection.

I love to eat both at the same time, and also like both brunettes and blondes.
I've got the casemate pop case. Was bundled with a car charger when I got my GS2 for no additional cost (upgrade cost with case and charger was the same without the bundle anywhere else).
My case is black/gray, but the only one I could find is white/gray except from AT&T's site. Though it is only 20 bucks from AT&T.
Couldn't be happier. Gives the phone a more rugged feel and has helped the phone survive a few falls from about 4 feet straight to parking lots, thanks to my 1yr old, without any damage to the phone. The case has some minor scratches and a couple scrapes. The screen protector has taken all of the damage as well leaving my screen flawless.
It literally looks as of I just took it out of the box minus some lint. Might not be the best case, but is doing the job it was designed to do..and it was free!
NewEgg link for white/gray at $25

Just have to ask, what was the one year old doing with your phone?
Grocery shopping isn't always fun for a 1yr old... Sooooo, my daughter has a few apps on my phone and a few on my her mom's (my fiancé) iPhone. Gotta keep her from being that screaming baby when she starts to get cranky

This could be used as an advertisement by samsung...
Screen protectors are a preference. Though, some of them are known to degrade screen quality. I'm always afraid that my nails will scratch the screen so I always have em. The day I got my phone the first thing I did was get a case and a screen protector. Still going strong and as an added bonus, it covers up the at&t and Samsung logos on the front.

There is nothing better than a nice juicy burger and a......... brunet.
I enjoy the peace of mind, so I always get a quality screen protector for any touch device I own. If you spend a few bucks, you can get one that's not too sticky, goes on with no bubbles and is scratch resistant (which IMO are the three drawbacks of using screen protectors, especially cheap ones).
I've been using zaggs for just shy of a year now. If/how it differs from others, I couldn't say, but I can say it works, phenomenonly. On top of that, what prompted me to go with zagg, is their lifetime warranty (never pay for another one) and if you take the 10-15 minutes to register your purchase, and device online, it insures your screen. User damage, or not, regardless of at&t's verdict, your screen is covered for replacement. Just my two cents

Nice! I like that. +1 In your case, screen protection + Heavy Duty case. Just incase she drop it, or get cranky and throw it.
Lol, like I said, casemate pop case has been good to me so far.
