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 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.
I just ordered my HTC One and am looking for a screen protector.
1) Do you guys think the gorilla glass 2 will hold up on scratches?
2) I'm thinking about playing it safe, so for those of you who have a screen protector, which one would you recommend? SGP?

I decided to get one after seeing my wife's DNA screen get scratched by her keys in her purse. What's up with that, gorilla glass 2? I bought a 3-pack of Lumii Ark protectors for $.99 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BL5N0X2/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Just arrived yesterday, haven't applied one yet.
Also thinking about getting a Poetic or Nillkin case to shield that beautiful aluminum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171713)
For what it's worth, the aluminum looks plenty capable of buffing out some reasonable scratches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0kel2d3xGQ&feature=youtu.be
Personally, I'm not using a screen protector but I keep my phone in a sleeve type case from Krusell when it's not in use so that does the trick.
I use cases and screen protectors on all of my devices. My HTC One never saw the light of day before the screen protector went on it. I'm a little OCD like that though.

I use Skinomi tech skin Carbon Fiber skin that came with a screen protector and I'm very very happy with both.

This may only be my experience but I found that the capacitive buttons weren't nearly sensitive and had trouble hitting home+back with an invisible shield (which covers the capacitive buttons). I ended up cutting away the excess which covered the buttons and have seen a huge improvement.
I bought the skinomi full body, but only used it for the back because I didn't like the feel on the front with it, and its not so clear.. but now I have the skinomi on the back, sides, and speaker grill, and a fosmon ultra clear on the front.. the fosmon is a lot better than the skinomi and is very very clear.. I cant even tell that there is a screen protector there..
Ps if you decide to get the skinomi, I used the coupon code 'earthday2013' , and got 60% off of the full body, so it was only $8.. if that coupon doesn't work anymore, there is one for 25% off which is 'get25'

I went to three at&t stores yesterday and they all told me they only carry the invisible shield dry for $30!!! I was a little skeptical, but with my luck my One would never stay in it's prestine condition without some kind of protector, so I got it. I have to say it is much better than others give it credit for; it's far greater than all of the "cheapy" screen protectors when it comes to look and feel, lifetime warranty when you register it, and I feel much better knowing that my device won't look like my buddy's horrific note II whose been naked since he purchased it because he bought into all the hype that the gorilla glass II is so incredibly scratch resistant!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Decided to go with the sgp ultra clear screen protector. I have used there protectors before and they are really nice and high quality. Also $14 for 2!? Not bad if you ask me.
I bought a screen protector straight out from the t-mobile store, it cost around $30+ I believe, I bought the most expensive one at the store, knowing that it mightve been a good quality screen protector.. but unfortunately, I dont really like it, I hate how I could see my finger prints clearly, after using it for a while, especially when I wrote something down using the s pen. Its the worst.
Im planning on buying iloome screenmate tempered glass, or the flex flexible one. Which one should I get? Should I get one of those, or are there a better one out there? Please let me know ^^

H9 Tempered Glass screen protectors are my favorite, I haven't bought a film screen protector in over a year. Tempered glass all day! iloome is just as good as Spigen and cost less. I have used both. I would go with iloome, but if you have a Verizon store you can visit, I bought 2 from there at $25. I just didn't feel like waiting on shipping, they will also install it for you. It works fine. I always buy 2, one on standby.

TechMatte is the best I've EVER used!
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
I'm sure the pros and cons were mentioned somewhere on this forum but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for as there are hundreds of pages of comments. I'm undecided between Spigen glas.tr slim & iLoome screenmate 9H for the note 3 and would like some input on which would be the best bet. They both seem equivalent as far as what they offer but would like to know from those who actually have used them. I've looked at Amazon reviews and still couldn't make my mind up. I plan on using one of these with the Otterbox Commuter.
My main concern is that it be truly bubble free so no bubbles form months down the line and no adhesion issues. From Amazon reviews I've seen people mention that after a few months bubbles had formed. If anyone has used these for a few months, do you have any bubbles and what are your thoughts?
I've got the iloome and there are no bubbles. I've never used the other one but can recommend this one. It wasn't too hard to install. You kind of have one shot at it. I found a video on YouTube where the guy places the glass on top first then puts blue tape on one side. So its like a door. Then he lifts the glass up, peels the plastic and drops it straight onto the screen. That's the method I used and it worked out perfectly. Once you do that just start pushing from the middle out to get rid of all the air.

I've had my SPIGEN for about 6 months now with zero issues. I never has bubbles and nor do I have any now. It can withstand some abuse too. I dropped my phone on a gravel driveway, straight on the glass. Didn't move a hair.
Btw, using it in combination with an Otterbox commuter.
spigen user here for me it's worth it
Been using iloome glass for 7 month now. No scratch, no crack, no bubbles. Still clear and vibrant as I first got it. Totally recommend their screen protectors.
Do they extend up to the edge of the screen? Because there are some cases that overlaps a TINY portion of the screen like caseology

Get the zerolemon tempered glass. Its about $9 and has the same cutout as spigen with the curved edges.

Maybe off topic, but their neo hybrid case is a complete crap. Outrageously expensive and poor to medium quality. Not necessarily a bad brand, just too expensive for the quality they offer. IMO spigen products are NOT worth the money.

My iloome didn't. Also, I don't know about Spigen, but my experience with iloome support has been amazing. Not sure how much I can say, but I am seriously impressed by how supportive they were when I contacted them numerous times.
Just got my G3 from Best Buy on Sunday and this phone is pretty impressive. I always like to get a screen protector as soon as the phone comes out of the box. I bought the Zagg Invisible Shield Tempered Glass screen protector and it is pretty awesome. Don't have to worry about the orange peel that is on their regular screen protectors and the clarity is really good. Check it out.

I also scratched my screen on the very first day. I am not sure how I scratched it but its there. So in a case of closing the barn after the horse ran off I bought a tempered glass screen protector from Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KGSW734/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Price wise it was 9 dollars but I really liked and and best of all is that it has a life time replacement warranty.
Now about the actual glass its not too thick and though it does slightly protrude a bit you don't really notice unless your really looking for it. The shape is perfect and fits exactly as it should reaching the edges exactly.
Now for the scratch proof test, Since it did have a lifetime warranty I said screw it and took a knife to it. I really did try to scratch it and I wasn't successful. I thought those advertisement pics and videos were bull$hit but it really didn't scratch.
Anyway all in all I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice screen protector and doesn't like the feel of the thin film/ membrane type ones.
That's really cool. I picked up my glass protector yesterday. The brand is body guardz. Purchase price was $39.99+tax. No life time warranty, but if you register you can grab replacement at 20% discount.

Interesting product. I scoffed at the idea of paying $40 for a screen protector, I've lived through all my smartphones on cheap Ebay films. They get scratched up over time, but by the time I even think I should replace it, the phone is over a year old anyway. I've never applied more than 2 over the life of a phone, and the one on my EVO 4G LTE is the one I applied on launch day. Even so, for this price I'd go for the glass protector. That micro-ridge you'd get would be covered by a case anyway, too.

Possibly, I guess it all depends on how big the scratch and how deep it is. Doesn't hurt to try and protect it from more scratches.

I used to get Bodyguardz but they didn't have the anti-glare for the G3, then I found iCarez on Amazon. It has better quality than Bodyguardz and comes with three protectors. Best of all, the price was $4.95.
I am very particular with my phone. My phone is naked except for the screen. I used to use Zagg on my HTC EVO 4G and Galaxy Nexus, then switched to Bodyguardz for my Nexus 5, but when I realized they didn't make the anti-glare for the G3 I was lost. Amazon saved me. I am so happy I found iCarez. I have another set in the way for my wives new iPhone too.

Picked up a iCarez Tempered Glass protector and must say, for ~$8 you get one heck of a piece of kit. The Protector fits great, looks great, and feels fantastic with a smooth touch. While they are this cheap I highly recommend them.
*Edit* Ha completely missed the first page post, but yes same protector and for the price, this screen protector is the real deal.

If i kept my phones long enough i would pay for something like a zagg. Truth is i change phones a lot. Sometimes i dont even have everything come in that i order before i have traded or sold/bought another one. For this reason i usually get a 7-10$ ebay tempered glass protector. I love the glass ones. I cant see how paying an extra 25$ could make it that much better. The cheaper ones feel great imo. I dont think i can ever go back to a plastic screen protector now that i have used glass

Sounds great. Thanks for tip. Ordered mine tonight.
5 months into using the Icarez and I have to say I still love it. No problems with it whatsoever and it still hasn't been scratched. What else can a person want from a screen protector?
@ScottPa74- no problem for the recommendation. THe first thing I do when i get a new device hel sometimes even before I get i come to XDA to check out whether its worth it and what should I get for it.
