Anyone try these yet? theres been a few videos floating around the net lately about them. One video has a grandma shooting a iphone in the air with and without it, another shows the clarity and smoothness of it vs the invisable shield. there $13.99 for just the screen and since i had some money just sitting in my paypal account i thought id order one.

well, it looks nice. im buying one now because I have a zagg cover on now and cant stand it with the s pen. I hope this one is better...
Someone should do a review after they get it. I never use screen protectors cause i hate the sticky feel of it.

i currently have the ghost armor one on mine and it doesnt have the sticky feel at all. Ill try to throw up a mini review when i get mine, if it doesnt work out so well i got a back up ghost armor at least. they gave me 2 sets when i got mine.
I've been looking for something like this. I'll write a review on this when I get it. Remember to use grandma at check out for a discount.
Looks very interesting, I'm more intrigued by how impact resistant it is. Would love a review of this one.
I absolutely detest screen protecters but I have had to go back to them because of my job. I'm doing sheet metal/air conditioning for the summer until I start the nursing program in august, then it will be bye bye protector. but in the mean time I really need a good protector that feels nice with the s pen. My zagg one is'nt cutting it, so, here we go...I hope to give a review soon.

Really? I'm exactly the opposite. My handwriting is 1000% better with my zagg. I like a little texture and the way light reflects on it makes it hard for people next to you from seeing that your Googling the latest Hollywood nipslip.

I apologize guys. My clearplex came in today and i had the intention of taking lots of pix of my ghostarmor on there with screen on and off, then taking comparison pix with the clearplex. Well instead i got drunk and decided i wanted it on now to test it lol. Good news is I did snap a few photos, got it on perfectly, but i didnt take as many pix as i hope for. Ill give it a few days to test out. For now ill say this, it really looks like there isnt a screen protector on there, clarity seems great, and feels like my finger is actually on glass not a protector.

well, just installed clearplex on my phone and I must say that for the note this has to be the perfect screen protector. you really cant tell its there. the s pen works phenomenal compared to the zagg protector I had on it. it feels like glass and not the plastic feel. I would definitely recommend this to someone. great find op. im glad I got it!

Not sure what went wrong with mine then... put it on with what appeared to be a pretty good install, no bubbles or anything like that to speak of. However the rainbowing/striping effect is pretty bad. Granted, that can only be seen when the phone is off, but still. (it's just been a day so I'll give it a couple to settle in as they say in the instructions, but based on others I've used, I'm not expecting much of a change) Also not a fan of the fit... there's a pretty good gap around the edges since the length of the protector is close to an 1/8" smaller than the screen.
On the pro side, it does have a nice feel to it, touch sensitivity is very good, and the clarity through the rainbowing seems decent enough.

I have that effect as well, but I'm sure its because there's still moisture. It has been getting better daily. Remember to go over the screen with the cloth and card twice a day for 5-7 days. Clarity is possibly the best I've seen so far

yes, the protector itself is a tad bit small, but I can live with it. as far as the rainbow, i dont have that problem...for the most part, it is working out great and the feel compared to anything else I've tried is amazing. I do think any protector is not fun to use but this one is , to me, the best so far. especially thefeel and the way the s pen works on it. I hope it works out for everyone.
Awesome thanks guys for leaving some feedback , im prob gonna pick one up then.

Hi, this is my first thread so far I've been doing a lot of research about my phone, figured it was a good deal, and purchased the Tmobile version. I've been looking for a case even before I bought it, but it seems there isn't a perfect case out there simply because of the sliding keyboard. Well I was just using my TP2 about an hour ago and as I was using the stylus to scroll down in opera, I heard "SCRAPE!" ...my ears said "WTF!?!?! NO!!!!" and i quickly realized what had just happened. Never thought it was possible but whatever. Anyways, I've had the phone for 6 days or so and I plan to exchange it tomorrow.
This has definitely motivated me to find a case and screen protector and end the headache. So I've came up with the following from reading some threads the past hour, but I want to be sure before I order. So far I have this case
http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Hard-Skin...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45ef91bf67
and these screen protector (boxwave Crystal or Anti-glare)

I'm still searching as I don't want to purchase something and regret it, but let me know what you guys think. I've heard good things about the plastic case, but overall I'm looking for quality, but no more than $45 for case. Much appreciated
EDIT: DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A SCREEN PROTECTOR IN THE BOX

It was 2000 the first time I experienced that. It was a palm m500 and a little piece of dust got on the tip of my stylus. I didn't hear it so much as I felt the friction, but my reaction was much the same. I haven't gone without a screen protector since.
As to the included screen protector, use it if it works for you, but you'll typically find better durability in popular protectors like the boxwaves you linked to or clarivues. The clarivue that I put on my Palm TX in 2005 is still on it, and still looks good.
The thing I worry about with a lot of those no name brand cases on ebay is how well do they really fit? The last thing you want is to have them falling off. I don't know if my fear is well-founded or not, but I didn't really want to gamble on it. But as far as TMo goes, I'm not sure what to tell you. Boxwave actually has a pretty cool soft case called the praetorian crystal slip, but not for the TMo version. Seidio seems like a nice quality joint, but they don't seem to make their innocase for the TMo version either.
Edit: I suppose you could check this thread out.
I had the acrylic case with screen protector and I removed it shortly after purchasing. The porblem I had is that the screen protector is superficial and although it works sometimes when I typed certain virtual keys another part of the screen protector would also bend down on my press and caused for a different near by character to be pressed. Eventually I got rid of it and just purchased a seperate screen protector.
I really am looking for quality though for a case, just want something that's not too big or will not hinder usage of the phone. I've heard a lot about the ghost armoring and all. I'm considering it, but that will not save a phone from a fall or anything like that.
Consider an all-body protector (such as zagg or bodyguardz), combined with a pouch or holster case that you remove the device from to use it.
This is my preferred method, so my TP2 is well protected when it's not in use, and I'm completely unhindered when I am using it (but still with scratch protection).
Note that the protectors need to be applied very slowly and carefully to make sure they're lined up well and properly stuck down around the edges.

I have the same clear hard plastic case and absolutely love it. I've tried the body glove case, and had some issues with sliding the keyboard in and out. I just use the screen protector that came with the phone, and the clear hard plastic case. No problems at all, though I still have to take the case off every once in a while to clean it, but you'd have to do that with any case really. Get a lot of compliments on it.

So it fits alright eh? The bodyglove one didn't seem to snap on correctly, and all the other ones I've seen fit so tight that it tends to seperate the screen portion from the keyboard portion...no issues with fitment for the tmobile version? Can you post a picture of how it looks with the clear case?
I just ordered some phantom skinz, I'll report back when they get here.

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.

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.

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 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.
Its on the general "screen protectors" thread, but these are so great they need to be announced in their own
no, its not just for announcing their availability (EVEN THOUGH IT IS http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/ht...-screen-protector-steinheil-ultra-series.html -- hell yeah!!), its for discussion too. I'd be happy to post pics of the shield upon arrival
These are easily the best screen protector out there in terms of strength, durability, texture, and light transmittence. I know there are legions of us that were holding out for these to finally go on sale.
now, to get ultra crystal or ultra fine?
EDIT: i ordered ultra crystal and it came out to ~$17. btw, im not sure if buying through amazon does the same, but ordering from the sgp website has always landed me with TWO protectors *hint hint*
I take it the ultra crystal is the clearest, whereas ultra fine reduces fingerprint smudges more? How noticeable is it with either that you have a screen protector on?
ultra crystal - completely invisible except at the edges were the protector obviously ends its surface is extremely glass-like
ultra fine - like any anti-glare/anti-fingerprint it has that matte-like texture/appearance so it'll be noticeable (i've only ordered ultra crystal)
neeevermind
Thanks. Not sure if I actually need a screen protector or not, but I decide to get one, it sounds like the ultra crystal is the one I'll pick. Are these dry or wet application?

I was just wondering the same thing...
yup I knew I should have said somewhere that they're dry installs.. ever since I tried skinomi in my E4GT and got water damage from the stupid wet install I'm strictly going dry from now on, even if it was just a fluke that one time.
Steinheil is usually top quality with their protectors so I'm sure the sensor will me accommodated for, I'll certainly report back when I get it.
As for NEEDing it, it's totally debatable. I've gone a couple weeks without and not a problem. It just gives peace of mind and since the ultra crystal is almost nonexistent its pretty much a win-win
NOTE: the picture on the Site is not accurate to what you'll get (looked at the advertised picture of the E4GT and it looked like there were no cutouts but there are when u get it)
Will definitely check back on your experience with these. I have ultra clear version on my OG evo and have been pleased with the results. I'm considering going without, but if these are good, I may just have to get them for the peace of mind.
Ordered mine. You can also buy via Amazon (sold by SGP).
The crystal ones are perfect. You can't tell that you have a screen protector. They last the longest, are the most scratch resistant and you don't have to put water near your phone.
I've been waiting (carefully) until these came out. Now I can feel better about not getting a random scratch on my screen.
I was going to go without a screen protector, but I may give these a try. So many people seem to speak highly of them.
May wait for someone to confirm that the proximity sensor works properly with one of these installed.

If installed correctly, you won't even notice a difference (using the Crystal). Plus you can feel safe about accidently putting your phone in the pocket with your keys, etc.
The only pain with installing is making sure you start to lay it down correctly. Unlike the water methods, you can't really shift it after you lay it down. The protector is a tight fight so your hands have to be on their 'A' Games. If you miss slightly, you have to pick up and retry, which could lead to random dust floating in.
Luckily, they usually give you two. So if you screw up royally with one, you get a second chance.
I've used dry protectors ever since I seen how absolutely terrible the zagg ones are. I did order an xo skin which makes me sad after seeing this. I'll wait for a review/pix and prolly order one anyway

Yep it comes with two. Only once did I have to abandon the first try and move on to the second one. I don't like installing them either, but I feel much better after I do. I feel much better installing a dry one like this (at least you can't really screw up the phone).
Looks like mine has shipped already. I'll let you know how they fit, apply, interaction w/ proximity sensor, etc.
Ran across a link to this somewhere.......haven't tried it yet myself, but it looks like it would keep it in the right place. Have to try it when I get my phone.....hopefully sometime soon.

yup its still on my S2 as well and I envy it bc I actually like it BETTER than the glass. sometimes the glass can be hard to navigate bc it doesn't have enough oil on it, but that's never a problem with the ultra crystal on it. like someone said earlier, ultra crystal is perfect.
I'll make an installation video when mine comes in which will probably be Friday or Saturday, I'm no professional though so don't expect too much. the method that they demo in their install videos on their Site works very well. It also comes with stickers to help lift the protector and take out dust specks if any get trapped under the film. you just need to find a clean, dust free environment to install it - like a murky bathroom after a hot shower
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!

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.

Makes for a perfect teething toy
Hi all, been using OP phones for a while now, and since the 3, it has been really impossible to find a good glass screen protector worth the money, as we all well know.
I have then gave up on them and have decided to try a film type, since I take good care of my phones and really never drop them.
So I usually don't take the time to write about that, but really I feel like I should say good things about this one brand (first time using those "wet application" protectors, so the same may apply to other brands, I'm just happy with this one on first try).
First, they do free shipping anywhere in the world. The protector and small accessories come in a simple hard back enveloppe. I think that's good for us, as well as smart.
Second, and linked to the first point, they have a good customer support. My problem was that when entering my shipping address, I could not select Hong Kong as a "country". So I emailed them asking about this, and within a few hours, I had a nice reply and the customer rep had activated HK in the drop down.
Then the product itself.
It is not too hard to apply, really. Follow the steps and you'll be good. They recommand to wait 8-12 hours to turn on the phone again, but I need my phone as an alarm clock, so I waited like 2 hours and all is well. All in all, doing it in the evening, it took maybe 30 mins to install (with waiting to dry up a bit).
The film sticks well, even on the edges of the screen, and it is hard to tell it is there (well, under low angle light, you can notice a very slight "orange peel" effect). On the other hand, touch feeling is really as if there was nothing there.
I tested with the slim official OnePlus cases, as well as the official carbon bumper case, and no problem to notice at all. I also have a Spigen case, but I don't dare trying it, it looks like it "crawls" up a bit much on the edges of the screen. I expect that any slim cases, or those that are not too tight on the edges won't be a problem.
I also ordered one for my wife's S8+, and have installed it as well. Will post pictures this evening when she gets home and I can use her phone for pictures, so you can see how it looks. (for her, I took a full body coverage, and I'll post some pictures of that, so you can see how it goes, and how it looks on different phones).
So all in all, I liked the company attitude, the price (8 GBP for my screen only coverage for OP5, and 12 GBP for S8+), free delivery and of course the product itself.
Let me know if you have questions, I know I personnaly am always looking for info before trying those protectors. God knows I've wasted enough money on many useless ones :crying:
Edit :
have added pics so you can see how it looks (the slight orange peel effect), and also how it goes really fully to the edges
Woow it looks really good!

It does, yes.
I've been using that for a few days now and it's really hard to tell it's there.
Also something I noticed with usage is that it's very fingerprint resistant. Maybe better than the naked screen in that respect.
Can't really comment on long term durability but at least it's very good at the moment.
Having a discount of 25% today i took the risk and ordered it
Oh cool, hope it'll work for you as well as it does for me
I have a spigen case too, you sure you don't want to try it ahah?
is it like rhinoshield or is it like screen protector for scratching?

It's very exact fit lol, so the protector must be very well aligned. But the protector is so thin that it just stays under the lips of the case.

Yep
I personnaly have the rugged armor
Can't say about that one!
I ordered it long time ago. Haven't tried it yet. I have nilkin glass now. Since I want to protect whole screen and I have a otterbox case... I will apply film soon. Fingers crossed
Ordered one today, got tired of every single tempered glass protector that has adhesive only on the sides and lets the dust go under the screen.. Let's hope this is as good as advertised!
Yeah, let us know if it works well for you guys too
Ordered! Waiting on shipment
Mine arrived, pretty simple package but it made its way to Hamburg Germany without problems :laugh:
Will apply it when in clean surrounding ;p
