Hi. I just wanted to know if most of us mega users use a screen protector. Which kind do you use matte or clear?
Also is the screen scratch resistant?

The Mega uses tempered glass so it should be scratch resistant but like all screens even Gorilla glass, it scratches and breaks no matter what the manufacturers say. I always use clear screen protectors as matte ones tend to reduce brightness and doesn't feel smooth.
Do the maths, even if the screen is tough it's always possible to scratch it and it's a lot cheaper to change a protector than the glass. I prefer matte or semi matte myself, anti reflective. They do make the screen look a bit grainy but I prefer that to seeing everything reflected in the screen.
I personally use a full case (OtterBox Defender). You can never be too careful with a screen in general, especially when it's this large.

I bought a pack of 10 clear screen protectors off eBay for £1.89 and I couldn't for the life of me get it perfect! Wasted 7 cos they had bubbles on with tiny specs of dust on the screen but on the 8th it wasn't so bad. Still a few bubbles but better than the rest haha OCD sucks

Tempered glass, but which one - Gorilla Glass or not? If not, who is manufacturer?
& Tempered glass is:
- difficult to scratch with knife, but simply with sand or another kind of abrasive.
- easy to break
This is my 7th high end smartphone.
Never use any screen protectors.
I like the feel of the phone totally naked.
Don't even use a case. I know it is possible to scratch or break the screen but never have.
Just slide the phone in my pocket and go.

It isn't dust from the phone, but dust in the air. Get the shower running hot enough to fog the mirrors in the bathroom. The humidity in the air will catch most of the dust. Put the screen protector on very quickly and you'll see less dust or no dust under the protector.

Those are really great and plus matte screen protector makes it almost prefect...
I find it quite important to have a screen protector on this huge phone. I'm using iSmooth clear protector. It's cheap, but the quality seems decent. Scratch free after a week now. It does have little rainbow effect but 99% of the time you won't see it.
I got it Amazon for $10 (pack of three). Dust tapes are included, and they help a lot!

Has anyone used Moshi screen protectors? Worth the $25?
Although my SGS2 has Gorilla Glass, thinking that AT&T's 3 pack (for $10) of CaseMate screen protectors would be a no-brainer and not have to worry about scratches on the screen. However, the store said they aren't carrying those for the SGS2 but that the Moshi is a much better protector.
Here's the link - $25 for one protector seems steep to me
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...sku=sku5370231&q_manufacturer=&q_model=#fbid=
I have it. Its nice because it covers the att logo.
Id like to figure out a way to nicely cut out the circles for the navigation buttons. Would be easier to find when the back light is off while in the dark

It is a nice screen protector, but is anti-glare (which some people like) and anti-glare protectors wash out the screen color some. I'm going to try out a couple cheap clear protectors and see if I like them.
If you want or like anti-glare this is a good one then.

i personally like them, it makes the screen "a little" darker, and probably to some diminish the quality, but it is just fine for me. i personally like the way they feel opposed to the glossy ones but to each his own.
Yea, I have a couple of friends that like anti-glare, and I can understand why. I just don't like how much it affects the screen appearance.
although even clear screen protectors affect the screen appearance some as will. I would like to go without one, but I work in a manufacturing environment so if I want to keep the phone in decent shape I have to.

I'm wanting to try some cheap ones off eBay and the SGP one.. but don't want to waste so much money on screen protector.. trying to wait for the SGP Neo Hybrid case to come out which it should include one screen protector. I really like the Power Support Anti Glare for iPhone 4 but then there isn't that option for the SGSII. Even though the screen is hard to scratch, I usually prefer having a screen protector just to ease myself from being paranoid lol
I love the Moshi, although I admit I'm not sure if I'd pay $25 for it.
I get 50% off of accessories, so after getting the Moshi for the Infuse, getting it for the GS2 was a no-brainer - especially given how many smudges I got on it in the hour I spent dumping the stock kernel.

Thats the moshi on mine, it's a bit dirty from fingerprints and well the picture quality is crappy because my Roomie's droid pro is a piece of crap But you can clearly see no bubbles!
Moshi with a Case Mate, both from the ATT Corpo store.
I love the moshi, but there are some odd rainbow color effect in the middle.
you should see if you can exchange it... i dont have that problem with mine
Im not seeing any rainbow effect... hard to tell with your background..
Here's the rainbow effect shown a little better. It's much more visible in person, however, it almost disappears when the screen turns on.
So, this isn't normal for these Moshi screen protectors? I should take it back for a new one?
Thanks
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

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.
I would love to know what kind of screen protectors you go with? What do you like? What you don't like?? What brand do you go with???
The screen protector I chose for my HTC Amaze is the Zagg Invisible Shield Full Body Protection.....

I just those anti-glare/fingerprint screen protectors from eBay. They're cheap and make the touch input very smooth.
I've been using the Boxwave "crystal clear" (not the "anti-glare" version) screen protector from Amazon. Works fine, fits well. One corner is lifting up a bit after re-applying 2-3 times, but they've promised to send me a replacement.
Pluses:
Dry application, no wet or "glue"
Reusable, manufacturer claims can be removed and washed (I've done it, but the edge is lifting up at one corner; was doing it before I washed it)
When applied without bubbles, can't tell it's there -- really!
Makes it easy to use screen with stylus and finger
Price ... much less than carrier store protectors
I don't like the Zagg stuff. Body protection is fine but makes the screen a pain to use. I am using RealLook Crystal Clear screen guard right now. Had it on my Vibrant before and had to use it again on the amaze. Cannot even tell that you have a screen guard on.

Fingerprint resistant screen protectors are awesome!!! I had it on my G2x....
Its a pain for me because of the rubbery texture it has to it. So sliding motions and other gestures don't feel as smooth as it should be. Plus the edges have some glue that leaks out to the side over time and it becomes a lint and dust magnet.

Clean the nude screen with a microfiber cloth first. Then apply the screen protector from one side (or top or bottom), smoothing out bubbles as you lay it down. If you get a little bit of lint on the underside (almost always happens to me), I found that using a reverse rolled-up "mitten" of Scotch magic transparent tape, or (better) blue painter's masking tape (your local hardware store will have it), gently patting the underside will pick up the lint spots.
Depending upon the screen protector, smoothing out bubbles once it's on seems to work if you take a cooking spatula (silicone or rubber) and use the flat edge to smooth them out. I have a silicone-edged pot scraper, but that's a bit too firm. Ideally, find one like a KitchenAid with removable blade part so you can handle it easily without the handle getting in the way.

I have a Zagg screen protector on my phone now.
It works great but after a few months the screen has some stains and scratches from the s-pen.
A replacement screen is free AFTER you pay $12 for shipping and handleing. I only paid $20 for it
Im thinking of just taking the screen protector off.
Anyone ever scratch the screen or have any nicks from day to day use?
My phone is on my desk most of the time at work and Im pretty careful with the phone.
I have a case on the phone so the back is covered.
You want a screen protector. The zagg is pretty soft which I like the feel of when using the spen so I'd suggest a more rigid protector. The ones att sells are pretty good if you don't want to know its there.

When I had an iphone I really liked the apple screen protector. I don't know who makes it but it seemed like it was only available at the apple store.
It didn't get smudged or have a any peeling.
I've never had a screen protector on any of my androids.
My last phone ended up with a very light scuff, but hard to tell.
My GNote has one minor scratch. I know where it is, but can't feel it and I'm honestly not able to see it right now with the screen on. It's actually kind bothering me I can't find it!
I hate the way screen protectors feel. Guessing the glas.t or whatever it is, is the only one that feels about perfect.
Really in the end, it's user preference. I think a case with a lip around the screen is essential, screen protector is not. I have 5 cases no screen protectors.

I bought my Note on release day from AT&T. I've run three different cases with no screen protectors and I don't have a single blemish on my screen. Like you, my Note spends most of its day on my desk at work. Try it for a couple of days and see if you are comfortable with it.

I put on the protector right in the att store when I bought my note. I just recently replaced it with a glas.t and the difference is night and day!

Zagg makes a great screen protector but when I looked when I got my note they only had a version for the international version.
My screen had accumulated more scratches in 2 weeks than my I9000 did in its entire lifespan so I went with something else.
And yes, no matter which brand you go with it will affect the s pen usage but after a while you kind of forget about it.

Using the glas.t screen protector and it is honestly like there isn't one there at all. It feels the same as naked, looks the same, spen works the same, etc. It's great! I will never use another screen protector ever again, they ruin the feel, but the glas.t doesn't.
No screen protector on my last three devices, Note, Inspire 4G and Nexus One.
Not a single scratch or blemish on any of them
I absolutely love the feel of Zagg's protectors. Used on my iphones, gs2 and note. I can barely type with out it. I will say that the screen "pops" more with out it though.

Never had a screen protector or case on my S II and definitely not putting either on my Note. Why would you want to ugly your device?
I ran my spen over my captivate and wow. Even if I can't see them there are hundreds I can feel. Its like a glass brillopad' very scratched.

I haven't used a screen protector for the past couple weeks. I am using an Anymode flip cover i got off Amazon for $16. So far no scratches and I like the look it gives my note.

I haven't used a screen protector at all, I've dropped it on my screen a million times. I have a tiny scratch that you can only see in some light but that's it

I have two notes. One with a protector and the other didn't have one. The other was scratched by the pen but its the way the pen is held. Now I have otter boxes for both and its just dandy. Love it now. No loss of responsiveness or anything, FOR ME at least.

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.
