Best one hands down.
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)

Im using the Zaggs smudge finger print resistant version and i like it.
im using SGP antifingerprint/antiglare
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

I pulled the zagg off of my Evo 4G for 2 months, and never have had one on my pre launch 3D. Both still have perfect screens. Raw dog is the way to go. They have gorilla glass, its very tough.

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

Does your phone need a case? Does your phone need custom ringtones?
I think these are all questions you can pretty much gather up the answer for yourself. I'm not flaming, just saying.
To answer your question, this is more of a personal preference. I usually dont like to deal with screen protectors, but I got one that came with the otterbox case and I barely notice its there until I look around the edges of the qhd screen. No bubbles, no sticky stuff, streaks, perfectly perfect.

The OG Evo had gorilla glass, too. In all honesty, I used my OG Evo for a year with heavy usage and never put a screen protector on it. In the end, I only had a couple of minor surface scratches that you could only see in direct sunlight.

No, it doesn't. But if you want scratches, fine line scrap marks from objects such as coins, keys and even fingers..dirt gets on them..then go without. It amazed me on my first 3vo it scrathed from my fingers. Was surfing, git out and had sand and wax on em. You will not even notice if you get one.
watever type of glass it is it WILL scratch!!!! I have two micro scratches that show up when sunlight or other bright light reflects just right... basically looks like cobweb effect on car's surface in sunlight... not that bad but i suppose it could get that bad. Invest in a quality screen protector and save urself the paranoia
When the 3D first came out, everybody was running around saying it was Gorilla Glass without actually verifying it first. Not that it matters so much, as its all scratchable, just some a little less than others.
I emailed HTC and they emailed me back saying that they did not believe that the 3D's were made with Corning Gorilla Glass, but that it was likely it was HTC's similarly comparable proprietary glass. You can take that however you want.
Do you "need" underwear pretty much its up to do you like it naked, I love the feel of the smooth gorilla glass. But that's me its your phone your life. Do what thou wilt with your phone

I'm not sure how different the org EVO is to the 3D, but from personal experience, the EVO 4G's screen is easily breakable (all the people I work with had EVOs and half of them had broken screens.) If the 3D is the same case, then I'd say go for it.
I personally want a screen protector even on my SGSII. It make sure no scratches ever occur.
i mean my screen protector feels no different than my original screen i just keep it on for protection

This.
It comes down to the fact you can take your chances and deal with scratches if (when) they happen, or you can shell out $20 and protect your screen from getting scratches to begin with.

A screen protector is not going to save the glass from breaking, lol. IMHO this phone does not need a screen protector unless you are constanly placing the phone in your pocket and exposing it to sharp objects. For the guy who said his finger scratched the glass, I lol'd. You must have sand paper fingers.
I bought a bunch of cheap screen protectors on ebay. They're pretty awesome...virtually invisible, and feels smooth as glass. Glad I got it. I went to the beach a few weeks ago and the sand would've scratched the hell out of my screen. I just removed the damaged protector, and put a new one on.
Yup..was always very careful with mine. One day I noticed a scratch, now this things worthless to me...wear protection.

this is an interesting topic as i'm getting an evo 3d, i currently have a HD2 and have had it for over 2 years now, never had a screen protector and i have it in my pocket with keys and coins sometimes and there is not a single blemish on the screen!
but my friend has a sensation only had it 3 weeks and has a few nasty scratches, maybe we should be questioning the qulity of the glass on recent devices?

You will get scratches if you don't use a screen protector in a year or so.
The Gorilla glass on the Evo3d is very good, but it's not perfect.
I took my protector off. No scratches after a month of heavy use. Oh, and it feels and looks SOOO much better w/o one. I guess that goes for a lot of things haha
Previously on my ipod touch 3g, milestone, defy and blackberries i have always wanted to use an anti glare screen protector i get off amazon. But with the evo 3d i have noticed that the colour seems to be washed out with an anti glare screen protector.
So heres what i want to know:
1)Do you guys think the anti glare screen protectors for about £4 off amazon are really anti glare
2)Is it the anti glare screen protector washing out the evo 3d colours or is the problem apparent with all screen protectors
3)whats the best screen protector you guys have used?
First thing I bought for this phone was an invisishield anti glare protector and it washed the colors out as well. I've also seen multiple posts in the accessories section saying the same thing. I've heard that the phantom skin normal works really well although I haven't tried it. I ended up just getting the 3 pack from Sprint and I'm still on my first one ant it works perfectly

I have the anti glare screens from bodyguardz. I really like them. I don't think the colors are washed out. Maybe a bit, but it really does cut down glare.
Be aware of the version you get from them. My first set had a halo effect. Which is where the very edges do not stick to the screen properly. But a quick call to them and they sent me a replacement free. This one was manufactured (I'm told) differently and works perfectly.

interesting. the one I got off Amazon was
4 quid so it should be ok.
But do you guys think the glare reduction is worth the colour reduction?

I think it's worth it. It doesn't bother me. I agree it is not the same and not screen protector or a clear one. The I don't get any glare or reflections. Since you already ordered one, you will have it soon and can let us know what you think.

Ive already got one on my evo 3d and for £4 it's pretty impressive. yes it does help reduce glare a lot and it feels quite nice but it does wash out the colours a little
I don't like the anti glare protectors at all! The 3D has such a beautiful screen and I refuse to take away from it with a screen protector. Zagg, horrible, don't even want to go there. Otterbox, makes nice protectors but i felt they degraded screen quality just very slightly. I am now using a FLSuperstore clear screen protector and absolutely love it. Fitment is 100% perfect, and you can't feel or see that it is even there. I was skeptical of them cause they were so cheap, but they have really proven to me that they are the best.

I understand and agree with you. I compared my EVO 3s to my mate's desire s and the difference is astonishing. His one has a budget £2 clear screen protector which whilst has a lot of glare the colours look Amazing

High-res screens are always CLEAR > Anti-Glare; why? Because the anti-glare make the screen look like a low-res screen... and then, what's the point?
I'm currently using the $1.50 cheapy and it's wonderful! Especially for the price.
I think sprint sells a pack of three screen protectors and it includes two clear and one anti glare. I use the anti glare and its been fine for me. Yeah you notice the grain/specs but I can live with that.
For our phone of course?

I don't think there are any at all for our phone. Spigen doesn't have any plans to make one either.
This is just one helluva coincidence; I was looking for this yesterday! I was put off by a scathing review of Zagg's HD protector that stated it scratched easily, which somehow made me aware of Spigen's glass iPhone 5 protector and their lack of one for the ELTE.

Why would you want a glass protector to protect glass? Wouldn't that be like having a vest made out of another persons skin and using it like a bullet proof vest?

Haha… funny point, but if I wanted to have the look and feel of a human with the ability to replace damaged skin, this would be the way to go (even if it basically turns me into Buffalo Bill). As for the “bullet proof vest” part, I don’t think that the Zagg shield would be any better than a glass sheet at protecting the screen itself against a direct impact; their main purpose is for scratch protection.

A screen protector isn't meant to prevent breakage. It's merely there to protect the screen from scratches and gouges from every day use. Really, even a crappy screen protector would still come between the elements and the screen itself, so it would serve this purpose plenty well.
If there was an unbreakable screen protector with impeccable light transmittance then I'd wonder why our screens aren't made out of that instead.
Not a solution to your glass screen protector, but just so you know that at least a few of the regular style aren't bad at all!!
I can personally attest for the Zagg HD and the Otterbox screen protectors. My parents and I have all had the Zagg HD screen protector on our Evo LTEs since launch day, and none of them have a single mark on them! I have since purchased a white Evo LTE (since they weren't an option during pre-orders) and have the Otterbox installed on it. I like the way it looks and feels MUCH better than the Zagg HD!!! I would actually replace the Zagg HD with an Otterbox on my black Evo LTE if I wasn't planning to sell it. The Otterbox isn't even visible unless you are really looking for a screen protector! It feels just like the bare screen, better than any screen protector I've ever used in the past(which is quite a lot as I've been using touch screen smartphones for almost 6 years now and update phones at least once a year). Either choice is pretty scratch resistant! I assume the Otterbox would be the easier of the two to scratch, as you'd have to be trying really hard to leave a permanent scratch on the Zagg as it "heals" itself from any marks within a couple days. That said, I still think the Otterbox is a better choice as I baby my devices anyway, and the looks/feels outweigh the scratch resistance of the Zagg. Just throwing in my 2 cents...

I've been using the Zagg HD since it came out and I love it. Yes when the screen is off and I hold it at certain angles I can see minute scratches but I can't feel them or see them when the screen is on. The other thing I like about it is it does feel really close to what the screen actually feels like. The normal Zagg does not.

Hey everyone,
I'm thinking about getting the Zagg Invisible shield. In the past, I have noticed that these invisible shilds are slightly rubbery and softer than some of the other plastic screen protectors. I am just wondering if this effects the performance or the experience of the S Pen at all?
Anyone have a Zagg screen protector installed?
I got the hd variety and have no issues at all . I think I'll be ditching this zagg for the spg crystal though I hear really good things about it and at half the cost includes two screens. Good luck,

Zagg are only nice because you can get them near a retail store, but utterly, they are crap. I don't care what anyone says but every Zagg i've owned has been sticky or really thick/rubbery. It might be nice though on the note since there is little friction between pen and screen.

I only buy SPG and yeah, they are probably one of the nicest screen protectors out there, unless you import from Asia... which means longer ship times.

Doesn't affect using the pen but the screen protector will show the lines drawn over time. Buddy had one on his original note and it looked terrible after awhile. He ended up taking it off.
They do make an HD screen protector now which really is like the glass screen. I haven't used that one with the S-Pen.
Thanks for the recommendations....I'll look into SPG.
I just assumed with all of the retail stores and marketing that the Zagg stuff was the best. Glad to have opinions and reviews from other users to make an informed decision. Thanks!
I have the hd zagg. The rubberyness to the zagh seems to make sense. It doesnt cause friction on finger or spen but if you press to hard it does leave an indent. But the indent ise gone after a half hour or so. It like re expands lol

They are a total rip off. Anything that is mass marketed usually becomes that way. I have friends who love them, and then I show them my phone and they are like what? there is a screen protector on there? I've never liked Zagg. The HD one may be nice, but i'm wondering how they do the glass screen on a curved screen? I was under the impression this wasn't possible.
The hd is not a glass screen fyi. It's the same material as the og just supposedly clearer. It's junk and I wasted 27$ on it. I'll be switching to the spg crystal. For 15$ and you get 2 screens. Zagg=****
My spg is awesome. It's the ultra clear version.
