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?
I found a 6 thing of screen protectors for only 99cents with free shipping on eBayand from USA only took 3 days to get. Its nice!
<delete please>
I posted in the wrong thread :/
The day the gs2 was released I called every AT&T store in the area looking for "regular" screen protectors. They kept trying to up sell me on the re-usable anti-glare screen protectors that cost $15-$20 more. Five stores later I tried to order them. It wasn’t until then that I was told that AT&T wasn't stocking regular screen protectors, only the anti-glare ones. Went to the mall and found some at a cell phone kiosk for $10.
Screw you AT&T.
In my country they cost around 20$

All AT&T stores sell Moshi Screen Protectors. They are actually really good, durable, anti glare and anti fingerprint screen protectors. Not like the regular screen protectors that come in a pack of 3. Those peel at the edge, and after they do, you have to take them off an apply a new one on them. They scratch real easily and are very thin. The Moshi you are referring to are far from the cheap screen protectors. Not only are they 2-3 times as thick, but are 100 times a lot easier to install. They also won't peel up on you. You get what you pay for. I'm very satisfied with my Moshi Screen Protectors. A month in, no scratches, no bubbles, no peeling. Overall, a very high quality product worth every penny. Highly recommended.
The cheap eBay ones will most likely scratch easier than the $10-$20 range screen protectors, meaning you will have to replace the screen protector often if you want it to look clean/clear.
Best Skins Ever
Just thought I would share my experiences.. I am new to the Android community, as this is my first phone after having several iPhone models.. So far so good, loving it! Anyways, I have always used the skins from bestskinsever.com and they have always done what they need to do.. Easy to apply (as long as you don't get any air bubbles), and protect the phone very well.. I was following the site and just today noticed they finally have up skins for the AT&T model, and they are always perfectly cut to fit precisely! So thought I'd share, as it isn't a pricey option at all.. Cheers!
Trying to find a decent screen protector and want peoples personal experiences with theirs. I don't care so much about smudges, mostly just want something that doesn't effect the quality of the Notes image.
Really depending on case requirements the glas.t is probably the best I've seen yet.
Meaning, most aluminum bumpers don't play nice with it.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
I use a cheap plastic tpu(?) case, like soft gel etc. Found it on here for like 10$ lol but it's actually great. No aluminum or anything like that. It leaves a nice ridge around the screen and figure it should be fine with most screen protectors.
+1 for spiegen glast, best screen protector I have ever owned.
SGP Glass.t is excellent. Cheaper option is the SGP Oleophobic which is also excellent.
glas.t ... Just look at all the posts on it ...
Yet another +1 for the glas.t
I had a plastic traditional screen protector on before it, and it really affected the feel of the s-pen. The glas.t, however, feels like it isn't there.

hate to tell you guys, but the Moshi screen protetor, blows away the glass T...easiest to apply, even has a template to make installation perfect every time, and, there are NO SMUDGES, and NO SCREEN DISCOLRATION, EVER!
I've had every SP known to man, and this one is the absolute best; its 25 dollars at ATT stores, and you won't regret it...
And yes, 25 dollars is crazy for a SP, buts it less than what the Glass T costs..
And, finally, you get 30 days to try anything from ATT; if you don't agree that the Moshi is awe sum, just return it within 30 days and get your $$ back..

I've had the moshi I dislike the feel of it completely. Whilst the Glas.t keeps the screen feeling as if nothing was there.
i guess the fact that my fingers are so chewed up and calloused from years of hard work/abusing them, I can't really tell much difference, except I know the Zagg stuff feels horrible on any device...
The moshi feels just fine to me, but, to each his own!

have the moshi and hate it. distorts the quality of the screen. my old htc tilt2 with a zagg / bodyguardz film looked better (side by side comparison).
I like that the moshi is removable and washable - but that's where my love for it stops. this device has a beautiful screen, it's an injustice to cover it with a moshi. i'm past the 30 days and sorta stuck with it, but wish I had gone with glas.t instead.
it's almost as silly as the people that leave protective film on devices when they first get them.

yeah, I agree the screen is the best with nothing on it, but I drop my phone often, and need to protect it from me!
I guess my eyesight isn't what it used to be, because I see absolutely no distortion with the Moshi...
I have the SGP Oleophobic. It feels great and looks clean. I had the Glas.T too. That was a good protector, but i got some dust in during the install and ended up replacing it with the Oleo.
Anyone have any experience with privacy screen protectors such as this:

I used Zagg before and had issues with install and s-pen...I always used Gadget Guard before and I love it...try it out it has a lifetime warranty so if you hate it you can always take it off ask for a replacement and sell the new one...

I've always used zagg on my devices and have been very happy. They hold up great and I do not notice any unpleasant feeling with them (that being said, between guitar and building engines my fingers might as well have a coat of epoxy on them, very callous and non sensitive). Zaggs have a strange orange peel look to them when viewed at an angle, but this has never been visible when viewing the device straight on so its never been a problem for me. I've had two of them that I wore out on other devices, and zagg replaced both for free, which was nice for resale value of the devices. Oh, and no problems with the spen so far other than the hardest one to fix, my drawing skills are terrible.

Steinheil
I put on a Steinheil Ultra Crystal. It went on perfectly and fits the screen so well that I cannot tell that it is on the phone.
And the pen does not scratch the surface. :good:
I've read several posts about tempered glass screen protectors but haven't found a review of this product. It's more expensive than others but I like that it's colored and seems to cover the entire front of the phone. I've seen one other colored protector but doesn't appear to cover as much. This would serve two purposes for me. I'd like to protect my phone while also changing the color. I hate to spend top dollar on a phone accessory without any real world reviews.

This doesn't look like a good investment based on your reasoning for buying, I bought a Spigen tempered glass protector, but had I done more research I would have definitely saved myself some money on a cheaper product. Glass is glass, there is no such thing as super scratch resistant glass. If you want to change the color of the device buy a wrap AND a glass protector for less money, combined than this product. IMO, not a good but, but make your own determination.

So, let me get this straight...
"Sir Lancelot's" protector? Absolutely NO reviews on their own website? OR on Amazon's site, yet ONLY 16 are left? Rush, rush, i say, they may run out. After all, getting a no-name brand, Oh, no, sorry, Sir Lancelot's brand, what could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, go on, plunk down almost $40. Let us know what you think. I think it's an AWESOME idea.
<yes, all of that was sarcasm>
It's colored because that's where the adhesive is located. No bubbles because the middle section doesn't even adhere to the screen itself. Do yourself a favor and pay $7 for a real tempered glass protector. Heck, buy 4 or 5 for the price of one of those just so you have some lying around if you want.
Thanks for the feedback. I know there are several reasonably priced clear protectors but I was hoping to try out a white one. I've always had black phones and wanted to try something different by going with a white cover. I don't want to buy a product without any hands on reviews. It's odd there are no reviews of the Holy Grail or Znitro protectors.
All these test they do on TG are BS, why don't they just rub some sand on it, i'm sure scratches will turn up.

What I discovered with my GS3 and then carried over to my Note 2' then 3, is I'd rather just order a black phone and just buy replacement backs of the other color. I realized I didn't like the look of the white bezel around a black screen on the white phone. If I ordered a black phone and just got a white back, it would actually look cleaner with the front all black.
I did get the Spigen Glas-Tr slim and have been happy with it. You can get cheaper tempered glass protectors, but try to get one with rounded off edges as the other ones can chip (also the rounded just feels nicer. I did get a cheaper one for my iPad and I think the rounded makes a difference in feel when your hands touch the edges.
Finally, beware with tempered glass protectors as some cases won't work anymore because the phone will be slightly thicker.

By wrap, I mean a product like a Skinomi, http://www.skinomi.com/saganoiii.html which will allow you to change the appearance of the device. BTW, the glass screen protector will not look white on your phone, so no worries about that.

Oh I see. I just got a slickwrap but it doesn't go on top of my tempered glass protector well.. I wonder if a regular screen protector would work better because it's less thick.
I got mine a few days ago, been very happy with it
Does get very greasy through fingerprints though..
when we first get a shiny new LG v10 I want to know how can we remove the ink on the screen protector that the phone comes with, so we don't have to buy a brand new screen protector. I think it is a waste of money if the phone comes with 1. any ideas I tried nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol but no success.
This is what im speaking about
Pretty sure you are out of luck. That film is not meant to be a permanent screen protector, it is only there to protect within the packaging, and to highlight features of the phone. You can get decent glass protectors on Amazon for less than $10, that's what I did, and they work fine.
I use too do it with baking soda and acetone but I think they caught on
You really just bought a $700 phone, and you're going to risk the screen over a 10 dollar cover?

700 bucks no 400 yeah. And I think all phones should come with one. It is an investment towards the company. Most aftermarket stuff is over price or it is crap. I'm not rubbing the screen hard but would u not like 2 have a free screen protector for your 700 dollar investment?

Not if I have to do all that work.. 10 bucks is worth less than my time and effort.
Dude, just get a real screen protector. Like someone above mentioned, a good tempered glass screen protector is less than $10 (Yootech is a good one, for example), and it's gonna give you much better quality and last longer than the temporary screen protector, which is really not meant to be used once out of the box
