Clear no-liquid screen protector recommendation - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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

So, tell us what you got, where you bought it and how easy was it to install.
Purchased on amazon.
Took me two tries to get it perfectly positioned onto the phone. Looks great, feels great! Tried many other screen protectors (both wet and dry) and this has to be the best one to date. Comes in a pack of two as well. And you cant go wrong with the reviews. Havent posted a review on amazon yet but i will soon

Oleophobic is an anti-fingerprint technology used on screen protectors and display panels. Theyll pretty much give you the same anti-fingerprint results as you would on the gnex. Gnex is the only phone i know that currently uses a Oleophobic screen panel. Try a gnex and see for yourself. I had one so i can actually say from experience that the stuff does work

I admit that they were a bit difficult to to properly position them onto the screen. Theyre cut exactly the same size as the screen. I have steady hands so it didnt tale me long at all. Just a little tip, i started applying the screen protector from left to right insteat of from top to bottom. I also held the phone upside down to avoid any debris. I did get a half bubble near the front camera

This Stuff is Crap . I have it on for about 1 week and now scratches are everywhere (phone is well taken care, always in Jean pocket with no keys, no card, nothing ).
RealLook is GREAT. I regretted that I didn't get it in the first place. RealLook has been on my Samsung Vibrant for over 1 year and there are very few scratches here and there but not noticeable when the screen is on.
I installed the Reallook scren protector last night and it took me a very long time to get it bubble free. It's cut to the exact dimensions of the actual screen so if you are even slightly off alignment, then the film will sit elevated off the Rezound's glass resulting in bubbles.
Having said that it doesn't appear to be any different in composition than the 3 pack scren protector that Verizon sells in their store. This is particularly disappointing since it doesn't resist fingerprints as advertised. Reallook suffers from oily smudges from use although when installed properly, it is very clear and feels smooth like glass.
I will probably keep this on for the time being, but when I have a chane I will return to using the water based films from Bestskinever. Those tend to resist smudges better IMHO.

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.

I bought mine from the following website! It's impressive that I have to look at an angle to see if the shield is installed on the phone! Great product in my opinion! If you decide to buy it from them use discount code: iwantultra that drops your price to $12.49

I bought the maximum coverage set and it fits perfectly. I have a cheap protector on the screen and haven't installed the Zagg screen protector since they usually end up askew when I do it, lol. The back is a lot easier to install than the front IMO. The side strips don't really add a lot of "protection" per-say but they add more grip and make the phone less slippery which is my main concern. I'm most likely still going to get a case or bumper.

I got zagg hd at best buy store. It feels smoother and doesn't have the orange peel look if viewed at an angle.

It is zagg hd ,got it in store at best buy. Doesn't specifically say att but fits perfect.
I have the full body Zagg directly from Zagg, not the Zagg HD. There is some orange peel. It is no where near as slick as the bare glass. Being used to having a Zagg on my Atrix, the slippery glass on the OG was almost too slick for me. But now I kind of miss it especially if my hands are real hot and a little damp as they stick rather than slide. It's your typical Zagg. My only issue is as usual I had a heckuva time getting the front lined up and managed to get some lint under the protector.
Got mine in the other day, definitely worth the extra few dollars over the eBay crap.
Got the HD. Fits great. Love it

I had to take my regular Zagg off, and now I have the option to get the HD from best buy (they want $25) or get the replacement regular Zagg for only $4. Is it really worth the $$ to go with the HD version? Have you tried the regular Zagg before?

The Realook is pretty good, actually waiting for SGP to come out with our version of the crystal clear screen protector.
So, I've been stuck outside of the US for work basically ever since I got my OG. I didn't have the chance to put a screen protector on it before I left home, and wouldn't you know it, the ONE time I dropped the phone it was onto a floor with sand on it. Now I have a few minor scratches. I am OCD about this phone, though, and they are driving me crazy.
I'm guessing that the liquid that's used to apply the Zagg Invisishield HD will help to fill in the small scratches so that they are not visible after the screen protector is applied. Can anyone confirm this? Or know of any other way to reduce or remove small scatches?
The liquid for the Zaggs is literally just soap and water.

Thanks for the info, but be that as it may, I think it should still help fill in the scratches and make them less visible, right? I'm getting the screen protector either way, and hope it helps.

If the scratch is deep enough, it will show through pretty well. It's like getting a piece of dust under it.

It does dry eventually. The liquid is just to create a good seal. I can't really answer your question since I have never applied a Zagg to a screen with scratches already on it. My guess is that light scratches wouldn't be visible.

Luckily my few scratches are pretty light. I'm almost willing to try the N4 conversion now because of this. I wouldn't pay my insurance deductible just because of a few scratches, but if I happened to hard brick trying the conversion, at least it would be an excuse to get a new OG that I can take care of from the get go, haha.
