What is the best screen protector? - HTC EVO 3D

I'm thinking about ordering a screen protector and need to know which one(s) is/are the best. The one that's on my Otterbox Defender has an oily look to it that I hate so I'm most like just gonna take it off and replace it

In fact, i would like to know that as well...

I've always used the zagg invisible shield. The screen doesn't get oily as easy, and zagg has a lifetime warranty. If you damage your screen protector and want a new one, go to zagg's website, follow the procedures, and they'll send you a brand new one in retail packaging, then you send your old one back. You do have to pay them $4 shipping though.

Any clear one would work fine.
Don't use the anti-glare protectors UNLESS you want all the color on the screen washed out.
The best screen protector is keeping it by itself in your pocket. Haven't used one in years.

The last time I had a Zagg Invisible Shield it looked oily when I applied it (I assume it was because of that spray that had to be put on it before applying) and ever since then I've stayed away from it. This was years ago on my LG Xenon btw

I've used Invishield and found that they felt sticky/odd. They also tended to discolor and peel over time. I now use Phantom Skinz on all of my devices, and have been very happy. No peeling or discoloring. And they self-heal if scratched/nicked. Also, when you order online, you get 2 screen protectors for less than the cost of one Zagg protector. They're website is phantomskinz.com

I have tried several brands over the years on various phones. Zagg is very popular. I think it is more because of their marketing, and the facts that every cell phone store, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc have them in stock on the shelf. But personally, I do not like them. They seem sticky to me. They are also not as resistant to damage as others.
I much prefer SKINOMI. They are very similar to Zagg, but hold up to abuse much better IMO.
My judgement of this is based on the abuse my wife's phone endures while in her purse. She has a wallet that has been bedazzled beyond belief. She just tosses her phone in her purse with all the rest of her stuff. When her phone rubs on the wallet, it often gouges or scratches the Zagg. But the Skinomi holds up much better. Rarely ever gets any marks.
Same lifetime warranty on SKINOMI. To top it off, Skinomi are usually about half the cost of Zagg. And you can almost always find a promotional code for Skinomi to get 25% off and free shipping.

Wow I looked up Phantom Skinz and their prices are great! Plus they have me a 30% off code and I believe shipping is free. I think I'm going go with that. Hopefully it won't disappoint.

In past few years I have tried tons of screen protectors, but this one showed the best, and really cheap

Oh, I only got upset trying to apply a protector and threw it away. I haven't been using one since, and it's couple of years, and didn't have my screen scratched.
Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead...

I would always buy original screen protectors of HTC.
I already had a few of other companys an none of them fitted well, just HTC's screen protectors fit 100%

[Q] What's your favorite screen protector?

I'm not a fan but want to try another company. I tried Zagg a couple of years ago and it felt like rubber and had orange peel, pulled it off after a day.
In the perfect world I would get one that looks clear, feels like glass and helps with finger prints.
What is your favorite and why?
Thanks
I've tried Zagg and a bunch of others on my Evo 4G. The best one I had was this cheap 99 cent screen protector I got off amazon. Had it on for months with no scratches, and it looked and felt just like glass.

Warning iphone in video,Well its reviewing screen protectors.
Looks like I can't have clear and no finger prints. I am considering these as well as a few others
What do you think?

Let us know if your screen protector covers all of the glass also.

July 18th full screen protection . Works great with defender otter . I could throw my last one on eBay
I have ghost armor screen protector on my 3vo and they are the best in my opinion. Every phone I owned I bought ghost armor for them and didn't worry about the screen at all. Lucky for me, there is a ghost armor kiosk here in grapevine Texas so I just go there an they apply it professionally. I suggest it if your in the area.

Boxwave Crystal Clear.
The problem is, Boxwave has been really dragging their feet in getting ANY accessories specific to the 3D. They just finally got a rubberized case for it, but that's it. No screen protectors yet.
I ordered the BodyGuardz HD screen protector. These have anti-glare. Got it last night and it has a 'halo' effect. That is where the edges of the protector are not stuck onto the screen. It is not raised where it can easily become unpeeled. I wrote to BodyGuardz and they are sending me replacements that should work properly, which they claim are die-cut. A different manufacturing process that should work better.
Big plus for their customer support! I will post an update when I get them.
Zagg by far!

I have always used Zagg until I tried XO Skins. I was going to buy a Zagg for my GTablet, but someone posted the XO Skin for it on sale, so I gave it a try. It is somewhat like the Zagg InvisibleShield, but has that glass like feel with no orange or yellowish tint over time. It is a wet application, but when it cures it looks like nothing is even there. They also have a lifetime warranty just like Zagg, so if anything ever happens, you get a free replacement.

I got my screen protectors on Monday and I have to say it is horrible. You don't get fingerprints on it but it looks like it is dirty all they time. IMHO they suck!
I had a Casemate brand protector on my EVO 4G and loved it. Now I have a Clarivue brand on my EVO 3D and love it just as much.
No tacky feeling, no orange peel look, and no adhesive/water required.
Anybody try OEM screen protector that Sprint sells?

Absolutely horrible, do not get. They scratch so, so easy....can't even use a credit card to smooth out the bubbles. Several people in the forum have said the same.

Do they sell any good aftermarket ones at Best Buy or something? I just got my phone today and I want to protect my screen immediately instead of waiting for shipping.

[Q] Screen Protectors

I just ordered me the photon today, I like to put screen protectors on my phones as soon as I can.
What are our options for high end screen protectors for the photon?
After some searching, the only one I found was skinomi. Currently $6.95 on amazon.
I ordered a 5 pack off eBay for $3 and change. It's shipping from Hong Kong
The 3 pack of screen protectors for the HTC EVO 3D sold in the Sprint retail stores for $14.99 plus applicable sales tax are a perfect fit for the Motorola Photon 4G. IMHO, the Otterbox Defender Series Case is your best protection for it.
Just bought a case on eBay that comes with a screen protector. We'll see how it works out.

I'm currently using the EVO 3D screen protector from the Sprint retail store. It is working well but getting a few scratches. The protectors are definately a bit more than I would like but I wasn't willing to risk scratches to the screen. With my prior EVO i used ghost armor... the sprint sales person said the EVO 3D screens are specifically designed to not interfere with the touch technology.... not sure if I buy it but I was still suckered into spending ...
I have never heard of that skinomi skin are they as good as Zagg?

they dont cover the bottom portion of the screen, sorry fail, scatches have a way to find places that are not covered.
Also the oil/dirt from your finger rubbing will eventually start to lift the edge of the film.
Do you even need one for the Photon since it comes with gorilla glass? It was my understanding that you dont and thats why we here at sprint don't sell screen protectors for them

You do still need them. My wife has an Epic and got a few scratches before she decided to let me put a screen protector on hers.
Too bad for her I'm incapable of putting one on correctly.

I actually received mine yesterday (2 days after I ordered it, I'm impressed).
But I have some fitment issues with the skin.
Not sure if it's a bad cut or if they're all like this but it seems it was cut just a hair too wide.
Three out of four corners line up really well, however one goes past the screen by about 1mm.
I've uploaded pictures but I'm not allowed to post outside links at the moment
I've contacted skinomi, waiting to see what they say.
Just got my Skinomi and applied it, everything seemed fine but an hour later i noticed i let some lint, very small string get stuck underneath, DOH! otherwise mine fit snug. regardless of the lint ill keep mine on for now until the BodyGaurdz Kiosk or Invisible Shield kiosk gets in the Photon and ill have them apply a new skin.
Damn after another hour i realized my skinomi fit perfectly, i had no problems with fit, no curling, everything is great except for that damn piece of lint in the middle of the screen, damnit. I guess i will try to block it out of my head that it exists.

Glad to hear my fitment issue was just a bad cut and not all of them are like that.
Skinomi is sending me a replacement free of charge, no return or anything necessary. Great customer service
Yes you do need one on the photon. I scratched my screen on the second day I had it. Thank god I convinced the sprint store to replace it because of a restarting problem. More I'm babying it until I get some protection.

From my experience, the area of screen I see most prone and most likely to end up with scratches on it sjjones is the LCD area which the HTC EVO 3D screen protectors completely cover. As I stated as well, the best defense and protection for the Motorola Photon 4G is the Otterbox Defender Series case. Yes, it is the most expensive carrying solution on the market, but it is also the most protective.

I hate that feeling like you want to block it out but you just want to rip it off and add a new one but at a price of 20$ for the Zagg I just wait till the next pay check and give a shot.

Try contacing zagg to see if they'll replace it. I know some of the brands of those kinds of screens have some kind of lifetime warranty.
Although generally they don't cover bad installation, it's still worth a shot.
Well other than the lint and occasional finger nail mark the Skinomi ended up pretty well, its almost exactly like the invisible shield but much cheaper. No bubbles, no peeling. The lint bothers me though; Instead of returning this one which costs you like 4-5 bucks (on their so called warranty). I decided to purchase the carbon fiber skin + screen protector combo they sell and just put a new screen protector on in a cleaner environment.
http://www.skinomi.com/sk5877-motorola-photon-skin-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html
(it supposedly looks different than in the picture but i cant find anywhere on the web a picture of the real cut)
I have a 25% off coupon for skinomi, "skinomi25"
when i get this i'll try to take pictures this time, i keep forgetting to charge my dust-covered Nikon D80
Steinheil?
Anyone ever try Steinheil Ultra Crystal protectors? I can't find one yet for the Photon but heard they are the best available. Easily found for other phones on ebay.

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)

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

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

Zagg Full Body Invisible Shield vs. SGP Crumena Leather Pouch

okay. I'm not looking at cases for now, and I would rather want my phone naked. HOWEVER, I'm still scared to have it completely naked. I have ordered screen protector from sgp, and I wonder which one I should get between Zagg's full body invisible shield and SGP Crumena leather pouch.
Zagg invisible shield can keep the same original look of the phone and prevent the scratch. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-lte-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
SGP Crumena leather pouch can make me feel and look the sleekness of the phone when I use, and it.can keep my phone from scratches when it's in my purse. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/evo-4g-lte/htc-evo-4g-lte-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html
Not sure which one is better. What do you all think?
There's no reason why you can't have both. However if it does come down to one or the other, I recommend the invisibleShield. I've used them on countless devices (two blackberries, my old iPod, three previous phones, my tablets and not to mention the installations I did for family and friends) and out of all of those I've only had ONE scratch (and I had it replaced for free) but it did save the screen on my device.
The pouch is also nice because it will keep dust and other stuff off your phone and it might even protect it a bit if you (oh, please don't let this happen) drop it. However the shield is permanently on, meaning it will always protect you from scratches. You'll only have it in the pouch when you are not using it.
I stay away from anything named Zagg. Ugly rubber junk.

I'd personally go with Zagg... its military grade and has a lifetime warranty. Its comes off clean, line it was never there. I don't know about the full body protection as I've only ever used the screen protector but I'd buy Zagg again in a heartbeat. you're not going to use the phone in the pouch... most of the time you drop it, i guarantee it won't be in the pouch.

I've actually had them leave residue in the past. That was the thing that made me try other brands that led me to realize Zagg was one of the worst products on the market, just marketed well. I just don't understand why anyone would use a product that destroys screen clarity and feel as much as Zagg does.

I am using the Skinomi full body. It took time to put on, but it was easy to do. I wanted to protect my phone from scratches when I didn't want to use a case. The HTC logo on the back took about 3 days to fill in, but it did completely. Skinomi customer service is fantastic. They sent me out a replacement for the screen protector because of a defect and did not want the defective one sent back the way zagg does. Also, the screen protector self heals where I found that zagg hd does not. I have had pouches un the past, but ended up not using them because I found them to be a pain. I bought a few cruzerlites in different colors as well as the matte black Diztronic just for extra protection when I'm at the pool, etc. These cases are fantastic,very thin, and it's fun to change around the colors. I hope this helps.

That makes sense about the zagg residue... I've just never had that happen. As for the Skinomi, that's awesome. I didn't know it healed. Definitely going to check it out now.

Clear no-liquid screen protector recommendation

When I got my phone, I was going to get the $15 pack of Sprint screen protectors: the dry ones I've always used. Except... they were anti-glare and they don't have clear and I don't like the sparkles and reduced resolution of anti-glare or matte screen protectors. So the store talked me into the Zagg. I'm not a fan of the wet-apply screen protectors but thought I'd give it a shot for once. To each their own: some may love them, but I hate this Zagg screen protector and find it almost unusable! Orange peel out the wazoo (I can live with that since it doesn't reduce resolution) but the worst thing is that it's "sticky" like soft rubber. I can't even slide my finger (well) on this thing! Tried cleaning it and no amount of cleaning, washing hands, pressing lighter, etc. fixes it. Sliding my finger feels like I have dried sticky soda on my fingers.
So... being early in the game, has any one found a dry-apply clear screen protector they'd recommend, either from local stores (Best Buy, etc.) or online?
Edit: Maybe I should have posted this in accessories, but thought maybe someone had a solution to the sticky Zagg so I put it here.
Thanks,
Mike
Well i always used the cheapo SP, and i ordered four for $2 from Ebay the other day. Took like 2 days to get to my house. Only thing is, is that it dosen have the cut-out for the proximity sensor, but it functions just fine. Turns off when i make phone calls and everything. Some may not have luck with others that dont have the cutout, but this one works just fine. heres the link. If you want, i can send you one to try out. I have 3 left, and there no way ill use all these. WEnt on super easy and looks good. Lemme know. PM ME if u want. Be glad to mail ya one. Also, the one from Sprint SUCK. they dont even cover the whole phone. Just the screen itself. THey dont even go all the way doesn to the buttons. Unreal

Go with steinheil. Pretty good price on Amazon and you get two screen protectors.

I have always used clarivue screen protectors. Top notch and super easy to put on with NO bubbles. Little expensive ($15) but it comes with 2. I put them on every device I have. I love them.

When I got my phone, I was going to get the $15 pack of Sprint screen protectors: the dry ones I've always used. Except... they were anti-glare and they don't have clear and I don't like the sparkles and reduced resolution of anti-glare or matte screen protectors. So the store talked me into the Zagg. I'm not a fan of the wet-apply screen protectors but thought I'd give it a shot for once. To each their own: some may love them, but I hate this Zagg screen protector and find it almost unusable!

I just got these . Man its the best protector IMO. It doesn't scratch and you can't even tell its on the phone . Fits the phone perfect . Not rubbery like the zag .

Zaggs loose their stickiness over time, but Steinhel seems to be the best.

I've personally always liked and used Zagg. And it will slick up over a few days. If not, take it back, they are great on warranty. That being said, I got the Zagg HD for my lte. Can't tell it's on there at all.

the problem I have with zagg is that ridiculous price of $25...no way in hell a piece of plastic should cost that much.

I always buy the full body clear protectors from www.BodyGuardz.com, it always helps my phone resale value too. This time I went and bought the Black Carbon Fiber skin with the screen protector. Makes the Phone look and feel much better too. They also have Red and White.

I purchased from a luckeyminky on eBay. It is the type with two step application. First step exposes the sticky side. Smooth out the bubbles. Then remove step two layer. I reccomend cutting the top right cornner . It will get caught and eventually pull the protector off. Also if you get a piece of lint use one piece of scotch tape to life the screen protector another to grab the piece of dust. Did that last night with awesome results.
