Has anyone used those cheap screen protectors on ebay? Those that are like 1$. I was gonna buy a clear-coat but I thought that there must be some that are as good or even better for a cheaper price. Of course, I dont mean those 1$ ones but maybe $5, etc. So has anyone tried any protectors that were good from ebay? For me, smoothness is more important then clearness (stock protector clearness is good enough). Thanks
I always liked the cheap ebay protectors over expensive Zagg InvisibleShield. I usually buy set of 3 for 1.99 or 2.99.

LOL DONT! its **** if u live in canada (cold season in winter then hot in summer.. duh) the screen protector's first layer kinda like peels off from the screen protector itself and it looks gay... + not scratch resistent or uv resistent so its ***
I bought mine on a local mall for 8$US .. its got scratch resitent, UV resistent, auto heal ****...
I live in Canada, and for the last 5 phones ive been buying ebay protectors, cheap and not bad quality.. make sure the sellers feedback is good tho
i bought cheap screen protectors off of 2 different sellers on ebay and they are cheap for a reason! they arnt cut properly and are larger then the screen. they cover the ear peace and physical buttons just a tad. so whenever you put your phone in your pocket the sides catch on your jeans and peels off the screen selector.
It really depends. While I didn't buy any from ebay, I received 10 or so screen protectors from the seller of my X10. They look like the $1 from ebays and while the fitment is great, I see a very bad rainbow effect across the entire screen. I've never seen this on the more quality expensive ones.

This is my experience as well.
I prefer the cheap ones. I brought them for my old phones and they fit reasonably well. They are pretty good quality for the price.
Well, i have bought cheap pnes from ebay and from amazon, never had any problems at all, they have always fitted perfectly, not discolored or distorted either.
I also have some stealthguard (the ones they handing out for free - usually ~£20) shields, which is what im using at the moment.
The stealthguards "stick" better so they dont peel at the corners or anything, and they are a lot more scratch resistant so you dont have to replace them as often, but i would never pay full price for them, they simply are not worth it.
Ultimately i would recommend ordering a couple of "free" ones from stealthguard, but failing that you cant really go wrong with ebay
I have tried cheap ones for my X1 more than a year ago. Can't recommend them. They were hard to get onto the screen because they were so thin and weren't scratch resistant. Pulled them off after a few weeks each.
For my X10 I have bought protectors for 10 euros each. They are great. Scratch resistant, easy to get them onto the screen, and each lasts at least a year, until you have to pull it off, wash it and put it back on again (yes this works really).

I bought the XtremeGUARD one from eBay for less than three dollars (USD) with free shipping. (Sometimes the seller will have a sale and offer it for one dollar with free shipping.) It's one of those wet application ones where you have to use soapy water.
Aside from having to put it on with water, application can be tricky since your fingertips need to be covered in soapy water too or else fingerprints will get onto it. A lot of air bubbles will also get in there, but those are pretty easy to get rid of.
The only thing I don't like about XtremeGUARD is that it has this kind of 'orange peel' look once everything is dried and you look at the screen when it's completely dark. It's not that noticable, though, and I accept it.
The quality and protection is right up there with the expensive protectors (I do know people with the ZAGG ones), and I thought it was a good buy.
i bought 3 for a $1. the description said anti-glare but when it arrived it was basically just a regular clear protector. So in order for it to be anti-glare it has to be matte?
HI,
i saw many users says about scratches and tiny scratches in thair theirs Atrix screens. What is your opinion about zagg shield or any other screen protectors? phoes touch drop down with these protectors or any other problem?

For one, if you wanted to spend over $100 you could get a new glass screen and get it installed somehow. As far as getting protection then, I fully recommend it. Gorilla glass is NOT AT ALL as good as they say it is. My phone doesn't come into contact with razor blades and other crap it says it stands up against, but it does come in contact with minor pieces of lint in my pocket which somehow scratched this "impervious" screen...
As far as what type of protector...I didn't like Zagg or Ghost Armor or any of those stupid things. More expensive, more hassle than they're worth. I got I think a Splash Masque screen protector off Amazon or something. Something like that should do the trick. Not too hard to install w/o bubbles and I can't really tell it's there (feels normal, fits just fine).
zagg scratch guards are pathetic to use.
all rubbery feel with no smoothness unless you lube it
overpriced stuff that you cant through off because you overspent kind of feeling ..
get cheap clear screen protectors.. cost $2-5 over ebay for pack of 10 or something
I agree with the other two. Don't get a Zagg. I am currently using one and regret it. When I slide my finger to scroll or to play games, sad enough sometimes my fingers don't slide as smooth as opposed to some other screen protectors. Although I would say that it has saved my screen a couple of times. If your willing to spend the money on a Zagg and idk what your budget is like you could try out the otter box Commuter. Its isn't that bulky in my opinion and has a pretty good screen protector on it, with the bonus of protecting the phone itself.

I use zagg and I like it. It does have a rubbery feel though but no glare and easy smudge clean up are good.

I have Zagg. I agree with the rubbery feel, but I like it. It gives it mooooreeee grip.

I used a bodyguardz but didn't really like the feel of it and the proximity sensor wouldn't work right. Order some other cheap one off Amazon which feels a lot better but the proximity sensor still doesn't work right with it.
I can deal with the proximity sensor issue more than I could put up with a scratch in on my screen. Not sure if the zaggs interfere with the proximity sensor or not.

I use Zagg full body coverage, and I'm very happy with it. Yes, it feels rubbery.
But I'm looking the Splash Masque stuff, it's good to know a second opinion
I picked one up on Amazon called
Motorola Atrix 4G Crystal Clear Premium Screen Protector 2 Pack by REALOOK (AT&T)
I can't link since I'm a noobie poster. It's slightly spendy at 10.99 but has been great for me so far. Easy to put on with no bubbles, doesn't effect the usability of the screen either. By far the best screen protector I've used when compared to a few I've had on my iPhones.

Don't go the Zagg route.
First the invisible shields are a true PITA to install! (trust me it's a lot harder than a normal screen protector)
Second even if you get it installed correctly it feels rubbery weird.
Just go with the clear screen protector cheapies on eBay, and either a leather holster or a TPU clear case (depending if you pocket or not) and you'll be fine...
Im a huge fan of ghost armor. I like the look and feel of it. Yeah it sucks do pay $20 for the initial screen and service, but its $5 bucks after to replace it forever.

I went with Zagg myself, went in to the local store had them install it for 10 bucks. Just got it replaced, it does have a sort of grip to it on the screen that you have to get use to. Overall all I'm happy with the protection it's given my phone, usually after a couple months I'll start seeing scratches and stuff, I'm a little disappointed that I had to take it in to get the shield replaced today, but it was free save for the installation free so I'd say it was definitely a good investment for my device.
hi ppl, i wanna buy a screen protector for my x10 but... I do not know what to buy
ZAGG invisibleSHIELD
or
Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint Film for Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
i think ZAGG invisibleSHIELD is good, but expensive
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SONY-ERICSS...T1QI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312324877&sr=8-1
They do the job for me
6-IN-1 and cheap
zagg ones are a waste of money, they feel too rubbery and have an orange peel effect when fitted.
i wouldnt use another one, nice cheap ones for me that you can just replace every other month if need be
I agree with Morbidx13. My first Zagg on previous phone was perfect but this one I got for X10 doesn't fit at all and looks terrible after just one year.

for me too
im kinda a headache with my screen guard. always tend to peeled off on the edge in weeks time,.]
I have a Zagg and I like it. Though I think it could have been a mm wider. There is a textile feel and a bit of orange peel effect but it feels great, is more responsive than the stock, while resistance to fingerprints and smudges is very good.

I used Zagg but I hate its stickiness (and it's difficult to apply and there's some "powder" under the screen).
Clearfreak is OK (no stickiness), but you have to custom cut (use the one for motorola t). It's soft like Zagg but the surface isn't sticky.
I think hard protector is much easier to apply and it's not expensive as Zagg (lifetime replacement still costs you, so I give up). I use Reallook and it's very good (no "rainbow effect" like cheap hard protectors).
I used the screen protector that comes with the phone... works well for me... you just need to know how to apply it properly
Just wondering if we do need them, or does the phone come with one already applied from the factory?
If we do need them, anyone reccomend the ones to get?
I don't personally use one because I'm very careful and keep my phone in a mofi case. Although I do know someone who has owned the phone a shorter time than me and has already scratched his screen.
I suppose it depends on how careful you are. The screens on these things are tough but they will scratch.
Was thinking of purchasing a gel case, or some sort of case.
FlexiShield for Galaxy S II
Has caught my eye, looks rather good. I know it wont offer full screen protection, but, The raised case around the screen means the screen won't touch any surface if its placed face down im guessing?

I always use a screen protector just in case, as I find the trade off between having one on or risking scratching a screen on a phone I paid £400+ that will continually bug me if scratched is worth it.
I normally pickup a pack of cheapies from ebay and replace when needed.
Also picked up an lovely s-line case too from ebay which does the job and looks great.
Sorry can't post an links as am in work and Ebay and other pleasures are banned
Gorilla glass is very resistant to cracks, but not to scratches from small pieces of sand etc.
I use sgp crystal screen protectors, so far so good.

You should use a screen protector no matter what. It's easier to replace the protector than the screen. Don't waste money on expensive ones either. I don't use eBay but I do find them on amazon dirt cheap. Amazon is a excellent source for phone accessories. I use otterbox commuter case for my phone. You should if they make one for your model. The commuter case is best of the best when it comes to cases.
i like matte screen protectors myself , they dont show up fingerprints or oils as much , on the flip side they arent as clear as ''crystal'' ones nut i find that the ''crystal'' ones pick up fingerprints oils to easy for my likings
matte ones also feel really nice and smooth , i got some cheap ones from ebay and they are fine however sgp do some matte ones as well
google is your friend
i always use a screen protector even on gorilla glass , it will scratch under certain conditions with certain particles and id rather change a screen protector then the sgs2 front glass which isnt an easy job at all as everything is built into the front of the unit
have a good day and enjoy your new gadget
Hi
You can probably purchase a screen protector for the whole screen so you can just protect it from scratches...you can buy from amzer
I am using Zagg shield full body protector best protector in the market it is scratch proof and military grade producy. Not taking the risk cuz I paid 800 bucks for this phone.

Ive heard of people having scratch their screens already, so i would advise getting a protector. It gives that added peace of mind.
My device is new but I know all the tempered glass protectors are awful for this phone and dropped fast from the screen...
Whitestone dome is expensive for me.. but it was worth it?
I want good screen protector please.. glass is not good for this phone? maybe I need clear protector or matte? silicone?
UV light is a good option or the liquid water scratch the screen?
Please advices!!
Search on AlieExpress for Liquid Tempered Glass for Galaxy S9. You can even choose Case friendly or normal type of glass. Price is around 10$.

I'm using the Whitestone. It is expensive but if you do it right it will be the only one you need for the life of the phone. I have one on my s9+ and on my note 8. If you but an 800€/$/£ phone there is no reason to cheap out on a screen protector and case.
this whitestone is good? but I read of users that have bubbles after a few days of use..
why so expensive? durable for drops?
how is the warranty?
Bought a few protectors from aliexpress for about 1.5€ each. Finally managed to apply the third one correctly and its absolutely great. Will definitely not protect against drops and shattering but they do their jobs against scratches.

thank you, i bought two
You can use any other tempered glass with UV glue, just as whitestone and avoid buying the expensive one, just use loca glue and a cheap (but good) tempered glass, google "DIY tempered dome glass for S9".
I ordered the Whitestone and installed it.. amazing screen protector I ever used..
I use the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin. It is relatively thin.
I use Crocfol screen protectors since ages. They're a foil so they go around the edges of S8 and S9 perfectly. Work as good as a tempered glass protector. Spigen has a similar product.
They're long lasting, self-reparing, don't take anything away from screen sensitivity. A bit pricey, around 25€ for a set with 2x front 1x protector plus something they call "liquid glass" which you can apply directly on the screen to eradicate micro scratches and seal your screen again, but absolutely worth it. I applied the first set immediately after my S9 arrived half a year ago and still have it on without it coming off around the edges or getting dull from scratches.
I had an accident and dropped my S8 full speed on concrete out of hand height, all it got was a tiny crack on the backside (2mm maybe). So if you don't like glass protectors this might be a very good choice for you.
I ordered the Spigen Neoflex
skinomi this is my go to screen protector. works with any case and when u scratch it it comes back to the original shape, more like gel on top though you don't notice it. It has life time warranty, easy to apply and the price is decent. all those aliexpress , ebay screens dont make sens any more. i mean you spend a 500 600 on a phone and you wont spend 10- 20 for something decent at least.
I used this and it works just like WhiteStone at a lower cost. Liked it so much I purchased two just in case.

I've got the supacase unicorn beetle. Has good case protection, very light and built in screen protector. Couldn't ask for much more.
Hi I ordered this screen protector and it seems nice ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsun...var=442089289527&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 )
Search term : "s9 tempered case friendly full glue"
It's very glossy, not fingerprint resistance but it sticks very well to the glass, bubble free (except the red circled areas ), and absolute no problem with touch responsiveness (I enabled touch sensitivity).
Now it's been about a week installed so drop, scratch and water resistance testings are not done yet
Works good easy to install no Fuss. www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7M061/
I am really impressed with this $16 TGSP from Amazon, US.

It is a full glue and was an easy install and feels better than the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector that are on my and the wife's Note 9s. It does not show grease from fingers, like the Whitestone, either.
I wish they made it for the Note 9.
