Ever since my OG days, I have Always had a screen protector on my phone. Have had it on my dna since release as well, but now I'm thinking, the only reason I would be afraid to take it off is for drops. Cracks aside, does anybody who has dropped their phone without a screen protector had scratches show up? How strong are these screens really?

I have a decently protective case(incipio dual pro) but I do not have a screen protector and my screen is still flawless so far(knock on wood) after many hard drops.

Yea my launch device got a little scratched I dropped it after I had it a month or so. My new replacement still doesn't have a screen protector even though I bought a nice one to put on it. Just haven't done it yet. No drops and no scratches so far
Just took of my screen shield. So this is what smartphone glass feels like huh? So damn smoooooth. Could be pure placebo but the responsiveness feels just a bit more quick. I like It!

If you have not tried it,you have to try the zagg invisible shield HD . You can barely tell it's there.
I had a ghost armor but it just didnt feel the same... so I invested in a nillkin flip case that fits perfectly and protects my screen when its in my pocket; I get the best of both worlds

I've never used the ghost armor.
I have used the invisible shield before they were popular and you HAD to buy from their web site. While it was second to none protection there was always a little tackiness to it when trying to slide on the screen and so when I got my first smartphone it was irritating and I took it off. I didn't use one on my Rezound and there are a couple of really tiny scratches in the screen from when I put my keys in the same pocket like a dummy one day. So when I got my DNA, I saw the HD protector at best buy and paid them to put it on. The first time they put it on, I noticed a couple of things I didn't like and made them open another one and do it again. Worth the money right there. Lol.
As far as the protector goes, it is really pretty much as good as the glass was. Nice and smooth and can really barely only tell it is there. It is an excellent protector in every regard.
Naked feels best.

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 can't get the realook ones installed either. I have millions of bubbles. Any advice? I installed it in the bathroom, sprayed water, etc etc and still have bubbles.
Check out the halo screen protectors on amazon.. They're pretty cheap - i think 6 bucks for a pack of 3. Pretty easy dry install and looks great..

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

Those halo screen protectors are just as good as the cheap ebay ones. I used one previously and got tons of scratches and scuffs. Theyll definitely do the job though

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.

Ok cool, thanks.
I got zagg hd at best buy store. It feels smoother and doesn't have the orange peel look if viewed at an angle.
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
http://www.clearprotector.com/phone-protectors/lg/optimus-g-at-t.html
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.

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.

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.

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.

Same here, except before I put it in my pocket
Day Deal has a screen protector for the DNA, described as Anti Glare, which is great at minimizing finger prints and smudges.
It hides most fingerprints, but if you do get any fingerprints or smudges, a quick wipe on your pants or tee-shirt cleans it right up.
Also, the screen looks very good when the device is turned on.
On the negative side, it IS noticable on your screen, when the screen is turned off.
Also, it doesn't go right up to the edges, but it does cover the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Works well with most covers.
Well, Amazon is fast that's for sure. Ordered the screen protector yesterday with free 2-day and it showed up today. It isn't edge-to-edge, which is a bit disappointing as you have to be extremely precise in aligning it with the screen itself. At least it covers the buttons. A plus about not being edge-to-edge is that there's no interference with my case, so I won't have to worry about bubbling up. Guess this will do until I find a better matte set...

Gosh that was quick! It sounds like it is exactly the same dimensions as the stock ones from vzw. On the sides it just barely covers the screen. But what do you think about it so far? Keeping the fingerprints off good?
Yep, sounds right, this one barely covers the edges of the screen.
I think it's much better than the Zagg I was using in terms of functionality. Keeps fingerprints off relatively well, still get some smears but they come off so much easier than with the Zagg. Plus it feels so much cleaner when swiping...what I was using before made my thumbs feel like they were glued to the screen when I swiped. The only thing I wished is that it was edge-to-edge, but then again, that would probably cause issues with a case.

I know that some people swear by screen protectors but since the invent of gorilla glass 1 there has been no need for it. I don't have any problems with just not using any screen protector at all on this or my last phone that I had for over 2 years and had gorilla glass. I barely have any finger prints ever, just the act of putting it in and out of my pocket cleans it off. Plus I love how smooth the glass is compared to how sticky those protectors feel.

yeah i have already gotten a scratch on my screen... I had the Skinomi screen protector but my Diztronic case caused it to bubble up at the edges then it folded 2 days after i put it on when i put my phone in my pocket (there was no saving it... lint everywhere) Since then i have not used a screen protector but am definatly interested to see how those anti glare and fingerprint protectors do.

I don't personally care for the matte finish kind of protectors and the screen is anti-glare enough on its own. I got the ones from photodon. MXA with oleophobic option. Crystal clear and once it is lightly washed feels just the the screen without one. Also does not go to the edge so no worry about cases. Btw I got the minisuit flex case on amazon for around $5 and it fits so snuggly I can barely tell it's there.

It seems to depend. The only way you'll know is to drop it. If it shatters, then you got a fragile one. If it doesn't, you're good to go.
Many people say it is but you should youtube the drop video and see for yourself. I've dropped mine a few times (I have a cheap case) and do not have any noticeable damage.

I loved the build of the One X! It felt very nice, too bad the screen got messed up.
The glass on this phone doesn't really bother me. It's actually nice looking (the pattern in the glass). However, it makes the phone feel slippery. Like I will easily drop it. So I keep a case on it (diztronic TPU). :good:
Yeah it does feel slick. I've considered doing a ghost armor back on Mine but I like my cruzerlite case
I couldn't stop laughing when I opened the envelope from china. Looks a little thick. I hope its not Plexiglas or acrylic. Either way I suppose my phone is ready for anything with this protector. I'm just guessing they're overreaching a bit on the marketing pitch.
I'll update when I get it on.
where did you order this from? send me link plz! Did you also remove the shatter-proof film already attached to the Xperia?
I have installed a similar one but different brand it's quite good. Very clear and not fingerprint magnet.

I put on mine 5 minutes ago, I had an anti glare one before, and boy is this smoother than anything I've ever put on a phone... It has an effective oleophobic coating so you barely see any fingerprint, and touchscreen works fine, no issues at all.
It is actually pretty thick, but I guess it adds no more than 10 grams so I don't really care, I have a basic gel back cover and you can barely see it even if it's considerably smaller than the screen (talking about 1.5mm all around), and even though the holes for sensors and led are REALLY holes, you can literally fill them with water (I'm joking, but I will try and let you know... ).
Only problem with these protectors is you have to get it on on 1 max 2 moves, because replacing it is a real pain in the arse. Because is thicker and heavier and stiffer than any other screen protector, you can't simply put a piece of magic tape on the corner and peel it off, you have to do it with a nail or something like a guitar pick or it doesn't come off. Hence the difficulty if you happen to leave a freaking dust particle under it (usually at the center of the screen, where you see it EVERY SINGLE TIME you take a glance at your device).
Lastly, big bubbles are non existing, instead there are a million of infinitesimal bubbles that go away with hard work with a squeegee, or the producer claims they go away by themselves in the next few days.
Overall, if the bubbles really do go away in the next few days, I'll be really happy with my purchase.
Will keep you posted anyway.
P. S. If you're wondering, yeah, pen and pencils work just fine, I'd say better, since you don't have to worry about the screen (or screen protector) getting scratched...

Just replaced my old screen protector with the glass m. And it is just so annoying to see the sides not sticking. So effing annoying.

I spent way too much on my Armorz glass screen protector, but it fits perfectly and is really thin. good quality and feels like iphone screen. sturdy and slick. some finger printing but wipes off with ease. no problems with adhering except for the corner where I kinda messed it up. not super noticeable but still upsetting given the price. -__-

Quick update: I ditched the glas.t protector and have gone back to a simple anti glare one, branded Nillkin this time.
I hate the foggy effect on whites, but I love having no fingerprints at all, not having to clean it every two seconds, and not having to deal with several points where the micro bubbles never went away.
Furthermore, I found a slice on the glass protector that seems to have the coating worn off (it came that way, I just realised it was there the day after I put it on), and that slice is prone to be the dirtiest on the whole surface.
I tried to wash it with soap, dish soap, alcohol, nothing works.
I took it off and put it on so many times (after the first time there were always one or two micro dust particles that managed to get under there, and you often you only see them in full sunlight) that the lower right corner would bend a little so that it didn't stick as well as before.
Add to that the WEIGHT of the thing (about 45 grams) and the added .4mm (seems nothing, but they're A LOT on a 6.5mm thin device), I eventually took it off and replaced it and will stay with my plain screen protectors for the entire device life.

Yeah after just a few hours I decided to remove the glass protector. It just doesn't stick to the corners and edges properly. And the screen feels a bit unresponsive. I just replaced it with a regular matte protector I have as a backup and it feels so much better. Sigh. I wasted 50 bucks in that glass protector. Sometimes I feel like I made a bad decision getting the XZU having to think of all this protection crap. I never ever needed to put anything on my other devices before and those are still looking fine.

yea i have had to remove mine also, it made fps games unplayable because the glass made the screen unresponsive to multi-touch use it was very annoying. i recommend just sticking with regular screen protectors for this device.

Unless you remove the anti shatter and don't use two layers of screen protectors...
