Are you guys using a screen protector on this phone? It seems that one may be unnecessary with the gorilla glass 3 we have on this thing. I'm still debating whether to get one or not.

yeah im using the one that came with my spigen neo-hybrid but its a fake and its already bubbling. Im thinking of getting a glas t slim glass protector because its so clean and slim. If you plan on selling the phone later on then you should.
Using an SGP crystal. Even gorilla glass 3 can scratch if it meets something like sand. I may go with a glass protector eventually.
I'm using the iLoome Screenmate glass protector and love it. Only thing is it does not have rounded edges like some do. I would recommend iLoome or MIME for tempered glass protectors. The MIME has rounded edges and you can use coupon code "bbq" for an additional 11% off plus free shipping through Monday for memorial weekend. I used both on my iPhone 5 and both companies have excellent customer service.
I got Tech Armor for just under $6 for 3. It's very nice and clear although I don't know about durability.

I will also be using that, just exchanged my S4 so if all goes well with my tests and checks I'm putting it on tonight. I'll never not put a screen protector on a phone.
I'm using the Glas.Tr. Its worth every penny

I'm still using the one that came on the phone. Lol. I couldn't decide what protector I wanted to go with, or if I'll even use one, so I figured I'd leave this one on until I decide. I will say this might be the best install I've had on a phone. NO DUST OR AIR BUBBLES.
I did cut off the tab at the top. I slid a credit card underneath the tab and cut the section level with a razor to make look nice.
Yeah I was bummed when I removed the OEM screen plastic from my nex4 cause that same day I put my keys in my pocket with my phone for all of ten minutes. Still have the little marks it made.
I bought a screen cover after that and ripped it off a few days later cause my diztronic phone case was messing up its edges that went all the way to the rounded glasses ends.
Had I kept the original it would still be perfect I bet. Still good though just saying I learned that the OEM is fine for a long time.

It's a good idea to use one anyway. I had someone at the Verizon store apply mine for me.
Steinheil oleophobic on mine. Can't even tell it is there and feels just like glass. Keeps fingerprints minimal too.

I almost left the default on my replacement, I never saw such a decently placed factory protector in my life. In the end though I decided to give my SGP a try and do it in the bathroom after I got out of the shower. Using the hinge method, this is the first time I've never gotten a speck of dust on the screen and placed it 99% perfectly. Can't get much better than this:

The only flaw I see is around the front facing camera, it could have been moved to the right a micrometer. Actually, looking at the home button cutout, I think that's more of a cutting issue on SGP's side because that looks perfect vertically and horizontally.

Looks great to me. I normally get the SGP Ultra Crystal for my devices, but I was thinking about trying the GLAS this time around. Since the original protector is clear and doesn't have lines or writing on it, it has given me some more time to make my decision. Which version of the SGP are you using?

That's what I'm using, the SGP Ultra. Got it for 50% off when I bought the case from them. First experience with them, but both case and screen protector are very nice.
I started using screen protectors on the note 2 and this phone after all the phones I own. Because I don't notice a difference in quality or feel. And find it much easier to clean. and the slightest hair line scratch will drive me crazy. I'm not awesome at putting them on. So when I get devices. I make the salesmen put it on. And if it's not mint they try again and again till its perfect or I don't want it and won't pay for it haha.

What do you guys think is the best screen Protector for the Rezound? I've tried Invisibleshield, but don't really like the orange peel or rubber feel. I also want something that covers the entire screen and has some fingerprint resistance. Also, anti glare would be nice, but I don't know if they make those. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

I also dislike the invisi shields. I hate the feel & when I had one on my Thunderbolt I ended up having to replace it twice.
right now I am enjoying using nothing but if I do get protectors its probably just going to be the basic cheapo ones.
I had a cheap one on my Incredible, then Invisishield, and now nothing for 3 months. I like it better without protection, personally. :-D

just like sexytime.
as Austin Powers once stated they're only needed by sailors who go from port to port.
I'm pretty paranoid about scratching my screen, but also VERY particular about the protector. I tried the ones from VZW, but couldn't stand how it changed the awesomeness of the RZ screen. Didn't like the eggshell feel of the Zagg or I'd go to Best Buy. Been using Steinheil on my DI1 and DI2, but when I checked last week, they still weren't available for the RZ. Same for Ghost Armor.
Hmmmmm.......

how much of the screen does the screen protector actually cover? can we get a close up picture of it?
it's literally the whole screen, except like a milimeter off the sides. it goes down to the bottom of the bezel and is on the top of the bezel (has cutouts fro the camera and the light sensor)
Since I hate shiny screens, I used the same protector film as I have on my ipad2:
Speck Matte :
http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Product...SHKC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322019483&sr=8-1
I can probably make about 6 Rezound sized screen protectors from 1 sheet (the pack comes with 2 sheets...but 1 is on my ipad 2). I made using the crappy screen that came with the otterbox case as a template. Dhen you think you have it the EXACT right size, cut about 1/2 (half) a millimeter off all sides, otherwise you will get hung up on the edges and perpetual bubbles where the film catches the inner "edge/lip".
The matte film lasts long, is fingerprint/smudge resistant, and THANK GOD, its matte (not shiny).
Just be sure you REALLY clean the screen well prior to application, go slow and work out all the bubbles, and do it in a DUST/lint free environment (like a humid bathroom) or a cleanroom (if you have access to one).
god i HATE screen protectors! less than 12 hours on and this stupid ass thing has a damn scratch already. it's only been in my pocket ONCE since putting it on, and it was in there b yitself!
these things scratch if you put it on velvet. that's why i hate screen protectors lol i have a feeling i'll be taking this thing off in a day.
How scratch resistant is the screen? I had always used a screen protector with my Droid X (Steinhiel ultra clear). I hate them though but I am so OCD if I got a scratch on my screen it would drive me crazy. I would like to go without one cause the screen looks so much better.
just checked Steinheil and Phantom Skinz. Both dont have one yet. I emailed them both asking when we ca see it. They are the only ones I have ever used.
I refuse to use ZAGG/ Invisible shield

I bought the Verizon Screen Protector as a stop gap until better products hit the market. Unfortunately that was money wasted. It felt too slick and gave that rainbow effect whenever viewing anything with white background. Like oil on water, I guess because of the anti-glare treatment. I pulled it of after 1 day.
I just hope GhostArmor gets some skins out soon.
I'm looking for one that helps alleviate the fingerprints the most if anyone has any suggestions. I have a Zagg on my Bolt and I don't mind it but I want something a little less orange peel for the Rezound.

I think that the matte/orange peel/egg shell type textures do the most to make fingerprints less noticeable, but I don't know of any screen protectors that flat out repel fingerprints (oils and stuff). That would be really cool though.
With such a beautiful phone, I really dont want to cover it up. I bought a very minimal case but I'm not sure if I will use it or not. Its also a big phone so it may be easy to fumble so even though I have never dropped a phone, the thought of having that case on there for the what if moment.
So are you going to go Naked or is the security of having a case more important to you?
With the exception of a snack size Ziploc bag to keep dust out at work I always go naked and haven't had any problem yet but I hope to keep this phone for a while so I have been shopping around for the perfect case
I have a full body set of Xtreme Guard protectors on it, basically a cheap Zagg without the orange peel.
I would love to go naked but because its such a beautiful phone i need some protection. So ill be using a case thats got minimal protection but still keeps it nice and thin

That is what I have ordered as well. Can't go wrong. Ordered a full body set and a spare screen protector.. Used Zagg on my iPhone 4 and the orange peel was horrible.
I have an Infuse 4G car dock.. so can't add too much of a case without making that no longer work.. (although I am going to likely modify the holder a bit and see if I can make it work with a case.. will see)
I am assuming that the 3rd party accessories will start appearing soon.. some pretty nice cases.. the phone I find is a bit smooth and hard to hold onto.. nearly dropped it a couple of times.

I would never do that in my life, all my previous phones were protected by full body protectors and TPU or silicon cases. When I get this device nothing will change, I don't take no chances with stuff like this; GSIII deserves to be protected IMO.

I have a invisi shield on mine fitted specifically for the gs3. i like that alot. keeps the big nice screen protected and scratch free. The back of the phone also has the invisi-shield on it. Im currently shopping around for cases to add to the protection also. I have a tendency to lap my phone when getting out of the car. Its the only time my phone has a chance to touch the ground. You can Never get to much protection. i would hate myself forever if i destroyed this beautiful machine

Would prefer to go naked, but with a device this gorgeous I'm gonna have to get some kind of protection for sure....
So I ordered the ones from XtremeGuard Spartan Tempered Glass
http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-G3-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-g3-screen-protector.htm#.U8CjKOXD-3g
And used the discount code and got them for 6.00 a piece. Havent got them yet but people are reporting that they are aligned horribly and requesting refunds.
So now I need another brand. I've always used spigen for my regular screen protectors. Never tired a glass one.. But there's plenty of brands out there..
Anyone make any recommendations based on the g3 or previous phones models that they used an glass protector on?

I am using the one in your first link.
The Spigen GLAS.tR NANO SLIM , a bit pricy but I've used them on my last couple phones and love them.
I think Spigen glass products is so pricy, but, it's worth it I think!
I just ordered the Spigen. I went with it because it was so thin with rounded corners, it completely covers the top, and because I could get it with prime (I want to slap it on before I touch the new screen to ensure no smudges). Most don't seem to cover the top and that leaves an area for a crack to start, and probably doesn't look as nice.
I had planned on ordering the second link one which seemed better while cheaper, but it's not available now.
I stopped using screen protectors on my last 2 phones (Nexus 4 and Nexus 5). However, my Nexus 5's screen developed a couple of pretty nasty scratches over the past month or two. In an effort to not subject my G3 to the same fate, I did some research and went with the recommended Spigen GLAS.tR NANO SLIM Tempered Glass protector. It was definitely pricey but had excellent reviews and I was hoping to keep the feel of the stock screen, which these glass protectors supposedly mimic.
My phone finally arrived today so I immediately installed the Spigen protector before I even turned the phone on. It was significantly easier than what I remember from standard screen protectors and came out absolutely flawlessly. I was never able to accomplish this with regular screen protectors so I was very happy that the ease of install lived up to the hype. Overall the screen protector feels like the bare screen and you'd never know it was there, especially once the TPU case was installed.
While it is pricey, I imagine it will last quite a while, so it's worth it to me. I'd definitely recommend it.
**Ignore the thing that looks like a bubble near the bottom left of the screen, it was a piece of dust that wiped right off.

I went with some glass from eBay, it was a doodle to fit and cost £8. Infinitely better than the screen protector that came from spigen (not glass), that seemed to smudge and was took hard to fit (bubbles)
Go with #3. Its the best for the money hands down. Trust me, you will not be disappointed and probably buy an extra after you get it.
Beware.. if you buy any of them with a big cut out rather than a separate cut out for the camera and speaker you will get a lot of dust collecting there. At least my nillkin one does anyway, apart from that its great.
Got the Spigen, seems be be the thinnest at .23mm
Thinking about upgrading to a glass screen protector. Has anyone had problems with trapping a rogue dust/fibre whilst applying? With traditional PET screen protectors its ok to lift up and get a bit of sticky tape to remove the dust/fibre that was trapped.
Thanks!
Wow that glass is fancy. I've never had issues with my usual clear stick on $5 3-packs from any brand out there on Amazon. I just change them out after 6mo to a year for a fresh look.
Actually, I'm big fan of Spigen......So I bought the case and glass screen protector for my G3.
I didn't apply the screen protector on my phone yet because I didn't get my phone.
But. I'll upload new updated comment after applying that.
I can't wait for my G3.
I got the SGP Nano glass and it works great. Just don't be a dumbass like me and try to wipe the sticky side when you mess up.
Does the spigen cover the front camera? If so does it obscure it at all?

Yes. The only cut out is the speaker. Everything else is covered. It is crystal clear and I have seen no difference in before and after pics using it. Hell, if I didn't put it on I'd be hard pressed to tell it's there. 100% satisfied.

It's $15 with Prime and has a lifetime warranty: The purchase of any Skinomi product including TechSkin and DesignSkin includes a lifetime replacement guarantee. Yes, you read it right! We are confident that Skinomi products are the toughest and the only film protector you'll ever need. If ever a properly installed TechSkin is scratched, torn, or damaged, we'll replace it free of charge.
The last glass one I purchased for my X ended up breaking from my keys and I had to replace it so I figure the warranty might come in handy. Not many reviews but they were both positive. Arrives Saturday and I I'll try to come back here and update with my thoughts.

Same. Think the rainbow effect is due to it being fingerprint resistant. (Not that it actually works well!)

I usually leave mine on any phone that ships with it installed.
However,once it starts showing its age/peeling/dirt collects around the edges,I peel it off faster that a Band-Aid.
The most I go with afterwards is one of those liquid sealers.
However,I've skipped that (liquid sealer) on my Note 9 & its holding up just fine (GG5),still has a the same slick feeling as it did out of the box & not a scratch/ding to be found anywhere.
My 1st extensive usage of screen protectors was with the Motorola Photon & a Zagg orange rind that they marketed as a screen protector.
I kept it on for a long time (had it installed in-store @ Best Buy),finally removed it once it got dog-eared & haven't used a screen protector since, (that wasn't pre-installed from the factory).
Perhaps I'd use one if a was one of those people that seem to drop their phone on a daily basis,or,a work environment deemed it necessary,but,even then,I'd probably just use a $200-$300 phone & not worry about it.
I usually do get a full body kit (clear or matte) from Skinomi,but,just use the back protection & toss the rest.
I'm not even going that route this time,got an OEM OnePlus 6T Sandstone Case on the way & that's it:

Perhaps I'd use one if a was one of those people that seem to drop their phone on a daily basis,or,a work environment deemed it necessary,but,even then,I'd probably just use a $200-$300 phone & not worry about it.
I usually do get a full body kit (clear or matte) from Skinomi,but,just use the back protection & toss the rest.
I'm not even going that route this time,got an OEM OnePlus 6T Sandstone Case on the way & that's it:

I never use screen protectors but honestly the only reason i I took this one off so soon was I'm using the gesture navigation and that screen protector whenever you swiped up from the bottom you could feel the edge of it.
I also ordered the OnePlus Sandstone, that's the style case I run on all my phone's. I usually get the Spigen Thin Fit case.

I have 3 scratches on mine out of the box as well. I ended up just taking the screen protector off. As suggested the phone does have gorilla glass 6, I figure it'll be fine this way.
Haven't used one in years, no visible scratches over that period either. I'm an old man so my phones don't go through much of a struggle during their journey in my hands but I still cant help but feel the concern over screen protectors might not be fully warranted. In any event mine will be off along with the rest of the plastic when it comes out of the box.
When I opened the box my screen protector was in mint condition. I even told them at the store when I picked up to leave the box sealed and I'll set it up when I get to my house.

The screen protector on it is garbage.. just from my fingernails I have scratches so end up pulling it off.. totally useless protector.
Mine started to peelup. Took it off.

Mine was fine, although I've only kept it on because of how well it came. I really don't like the plastic feel and am currently looking for a tgsp.
mine was garbage, took it off to apply an xtremeguard tgsp against my own good judgement, and the tgsp was garbage too - didn't cover the whole screen. Now I'm SP-free and the screen feels much nicer!

Mine too, also from T-Mobile. I've only had it a week, so we'll see how it goes. Like many others I've found that it does collect a huge amount of dust!
I'm in the USA and waiting for the phone to ship to me. I need tempered or glass protection for the screen. I keep looking on amazon but all I see are reviews with switched products. any one recommends one that's not shady?

can confirm, works great
Im using the whitestone dome glass and works perfect me, I know some people do have issue with the FPS not being reliable, but I have no issues with the FPS and works perfectly fine for me.
It looks very similar to the one I have and also works great. IMBZBK.

FPS? Frames per second? How a glass on top of device screen affects FPS!!??
Yo! so I have been using my s23u naked for the last 2 months and now I think i should get a glass protector to protect the screen since this will be expensive if I drop it... I am looking for something good and worth the price, some mentioned whitestone but that is 50 USD in sweden.. any other good options you are satisfied with that costs less? I do not want to use any case since that makes this sleek device fat and ugly (no body shaming pls!) but i guess the glass protectors are cool that can save the display from one or two drops..

Not sure if you're trolling or are genuinely confused.
But just in case it's a genuine query, he means FingePrintScanner.

Stay away from amfilm
Whatever liquid adhesive they're using is terrible

Ive tried a few and they are all **** or average in comparison with other brand that gives you a WELL placed protector from factory.
Ive email samsung about this BS ''save the planet so no protector nor charger '' ****, and we have to order , get ship by plane/truck , stuff, and found this is ****, and re-re-re-order.
Anyway, I got the Mowei UV glued protector, and the stikyness power is good as masking tape. If you get the phone in your pockets and the corner of the glass touch the pants, and will unstick.
Oh you think with a case it will be fine? no, cases are often soft, so they will contact the glass and unstick it.
It will create huge bubble. However, You can stick back the glass with minimal bubble left.
Protector are not only for protector the glass , but also the oleophobic coating. I use to have my phone naked, but after few years, the glass is full time greasy because it come a finger print magnet since the coating is gone.
10 days after receiving it, waiting on my Amazon protector shipment, was sitting and dropped my phone from my lap to hardwood floor .
Back top left corner had many small cracks running into the lenses

Sad story bro. I always order a Spigen case as soon as I order the phone. Cheap insurance to tide me over until the case of choice becomes available.
I used this one here and so far it's been a good experience. You get the whitestone dome quality w/o the messiness. And I'm rocking it with the Ringke Onyx Case with no lift.

Which one?
Two things I'd wish they'd do:
Stop with the curved screens. Tits on a bull!
Second, ditch the behind the screen FP reader. Put it in the power switch. Anyone that's owned a flip/fold knows how well they work.
Then we could have FLAT tempered glass screen protectors that stay put and look great for a long time.
Mous is nice, wish the carbon fiber one was in stock!
I use this when I want that naked experience and still have protection similar to a skin:

I have the same one on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and the phone fell off a chair onto a slate floor backside down and I thought for sure it was going to be a bad day. Nope, phone unscathed. Thought the case was OK too but later when I took it off it had a crack running all around the area covering the camera bump.
I got the UAG Pathfinder for the S23 Ultra, yeah it's on the bulky side but I probably could drop it down the stairs and it would be fine. ;-) That's what I use when working outside.

Its better to use a Screen Protector Film because the device has a curved screen. I really dont know if there are any good Tempered Glass for curved screen so I went with a Full-Body Screen Protector from Gadgetshieldz since they not only have Matte options but their Full-Body covers the back panel, sides, top, bottom and also the camera module. I didnt want any scratches at all so I covered my phone completely with this. Went with the Clear for the Screen and the rest were all Matte cause I love the finish.
Although, recently I wrapped my S23 Ultra with skins cause I was getting bored of the look but I still have the Clear Screen Protector on.
Im in love with the grip they provide, feels soo good on touch!
