Screen Protector

[VicVinegar]

"tacky at first"? just about to order this after all the good reviews but this concerns me a bit. Is this tackiness just from removing the cover off the front of the screen protector and goes away with use or by the microfiber cloth? thx!!

Tacky is the best way I can describe it. Probably just some residue from the cover. I didn't try wiping it with the cloth, but just using it a little bit had it going away. Nice and smooth after a couple hours. Microfiber might have sped it up.

I've never used a screen protector before, but I decided to try the Spectre screen protector from xgearlive.com. It's made of tempered glass! I can't really say if its any good or not, because its only pre-order, right now. Kind of pricey too, at $29

Is anyone having trouble with N7 touch response when using a screen protector? For me, touch response was perfect before I put on a screen protector and just as perfect after I took it off, but with it on it was terrrible! Had to touch and hold for a long second for it to even recognize. Other activities were fruitless. For instance, I couldn't play Angry Birds -- it would release the bird before I could lift my finger off the screen.
I finally just peeled the screen protector off and now I'm running bare glass again.
The screen protector I was using is ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD. I have this on my Toshiba Thrive and it works great, so I'm thinking it's an N7 problem.

Hmm, I was thinking of getting the Steinheil Ultra Crystal cuz I'm hearing a lot of good things about it but I'm also interested in their Curved Crystal? It's supposed to be curved so it's supposed to be a perfect fit for your phone. Or is the ultra crystal just as good? I need a good protector NOW and I don't know if I can wait for the curved crystal to be available. Any recommendations??

I am also using the nano clear from spg and they are awesome! Super clear the only problem I found it extremely hard to put on... I went threw all 3 before I almost got it perfect its super hard to line up. But it feels like glass and doesn't mess up the vision which I love.

While waiting for my Nano clear to get here I was willing to try out the new Zagg line. Personal view to anyone thinking on it DO NOT and here is why

1. They now have the Zagg logo built into the screen protector and if you happen to get one with it not all the way in right corner it shows on the screens actual display. Took 3 from best buy before I got one with logo in right area (Horrible choice on Zagg part)

2. With glass being curved if you do not get the alignment PERFECT one side will peel on the top edge. Not worth it even if I picked one up online for 10$ and obviously I paid 30$ at bestbuy

So coming from someone who has used Zagg on Incredible / INC 2 / Fascinate / Thunderbolt / Rezound I hope you can respect that if I am switching companies there is obviously issues with the screen protector. Sure some people will get lucky and get good print on the logo and lined up perfectly, but for me NOT WORTH the hassle, cost and time!

Just my two cents - I noticed a small scratch on my screen yesterday while I was at the mall. It doesn't have any effect on screen visibility, but I want this thing to last!

I bought the flip cover.
I LOVE my flip cover. Screen is protected, and not interfered with. Yeah, the only PITA is using the camera but c'est la vie.

I have the zagg hd (same as the regular version minus most of the orange peel effect) version of the screen protector on my S3 installed at best buy the guy did an excellent job with the installation. I honestly don't think I could have done a better job. I also have been examining my phone after reading this thread and i do not see a zagg logo anywhere. I just had it put on yesterday. I guess i just got lucky.

Has anyone been using any of the several varieties of Steinheil protectors (for the SGS3)? There are so many choices. I know the "Curved Crystal" isn't out yet, and probably wouldn't get that one, since from what I've been able to find out online, it may not fit under my case well (just using a plain, belkin silicone cover, and really like it). Currently using the Verizon protector. Really smears with finger oil and facial make-up oil. I want something that is clear and resists oil, as well as being protective and touch-screen sensitive. I am thinking Steinheil, and it looks like the "Ultra Nano Clear" may be a good compromise. But I haven't used any of their protectors before. Anybody use the "Ultra Nano Optics" one? Anyone have experience with the various kinds? Any info would be appreciated! :-\

I have the nano clear and it is the best I've used. A little thinner than their ultra crystal but much easier to apply as it seems more tolerant to small dust getting caught under it. It is also much more resistant to smears than anything I've used in the past. Clarity is non issue as I can hardly tell it is there.

First time Steinheil user here. I ordered the nano clear solely by all the positive reviews in this forum. Had it on since last week and it's gorgeous! Honestly can't tell it's there and my fingers glide over it. Great choice for me!!

Was going to wait for SGP to come out with their curved crystal but never mind. Just ordered my nano. Let's see how that goes...

Ultra Nano Optics did not work for me - aside from being more expensive it is a matte finish to resist fingerprints and has some resistance to a sliding finger - sort of a zippy feel. Using the stock Verizon clear for now.

How do these Steinheil protectors compare to BSE protectors?

 

[Sabban]

Well i just went thru all three ultra nano clears. First on pealed off with the front piece and i didnt realize it at first, 2nd has some residue on the side i couldnt get off and the 3rd was an attraction magnet.

Will order some more come payday and try again
