Hi, I wanted to know which set of Screen Protectors is better,
http://www.clove.co.uk/case-mate-samsung-galaxy-sii-i9100-screen-protector-2-pack
or
http://www.clove.co.uk/screen-protector-10pcs-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100
I only want to go with one of the options above and want to know which one in terms of quality is the best. The Case-mate screen protectors were purported to not fit exactly with the screen of the Galaxy S2, however, that was for the screen protectors that were included with a TPU case. As a stand-alone product, is the Case-mate a proper fitting? And what about the 10-pack Clove Screen protectors, are they fingerprint-resistant?
Please advice me. Thank you very much in advance.
I ordered Steinheil Ultra on amazon.

Thanks, but if you had only two options (mentioned in my first post), which one would you go for? Please let me know. Thanks again. =)

Sorry I can't vouch for something I've never used. I've used SGP, Power support and Martin Fields with success. I personally don't buy the cheaper bulk ones as I don't want them to detract from the screen quality.
You might check in the accessory section.
A number of posts in Accessory forum re screen protectors.
I would pick neither of those two .

Martin fields is the best ...

I was a big Brando fan in the past when I used Nokias, but the screen protector for my SGS disappointed me. Bad shape, bad cut outs, didn't stick well on the display. The I bought a SGP Oleophobic that's still on my phone without any damage, so I ordered one for my SGS2, too. Still waiting for it.
Doesn't the i9100 have gorilla glass on it? So it's a pity to cover it, and it's not needed, IMHO.
Also the screen protector lowers touch screen sensitivity.
Wouldn't say that, heard couple of users already having scratches on their screen due to sand or something in their pocket.
I would go for the 10pc. Case mate are getting bad reputations from everyone here. U cud try thr clove ones and tell us how u get on.

The Martin Fields does not reduce the touch sensitivity at all...it actually provides a much bettersmooth surface for the finger to glide over

what about finger prints
I got something similar to that 10 pack. I paid AU$3.20 which is about 2 pounds for a 5 pack. Protects ok, but it is a fingerprint magnet and also tends to grab onto the oil from your hands. I end up having to clean it with a proper microfibre cloth in order to get the oil off. Normal cloths don't work.

Yeah its a finger print magnet but not as bad as the original glass :-( if applied properly is seems like as if it is the glass itself...benefit is that colours and everything on the screen seems more vibrant and bright!
Plus easy to apply and minimum bubbles if you are a bit careful...:-( nothing like the invisible shield crap which dulls the screen and develops yellowish/orangish tint after a time and feels like rubber :-(

I mean, finger prints as in grease. My current protector get the oil from my hands on the screen and it messes up the colours. You get a kinda rainbow effect if you dont clean it.
Rubbing alcohol ftw. I carry some on me in place of hand sanitizer. It works great for cleaning all crap off the screen and drys dang quick, also sanitizes... don't use too much, only a little is necessary

I did a search and saw no thread, so I figured I'd let the Boxwave fans know that they do have EVO 3D screen protectors and other accessories for sale. The weird thing is, they don't have the EVO 3D listed under their HTC devices, or on their front page, but if you type in the name in the search for devices box, you will get the EVO 3D accessories.
Here is a link to the EVO 3D stuff. I personally think that Boxwave make the best protectors by far, so I am amped!

Thanks for the heads up, agree with you that Boxwave makes great stuff. Too bad they took so long to produce the protectors otherwise it would be on my phone right now. I'm currently using the screen protectors from FL Superstore ( http://myworld.ebay.com/flsuperstore ) for $1.48 shipped and it's been working well.
Maybe I might pick up a versacharger, it's a nice update from the original design. Did you order from them?

Yeah, I picked up a 3 pack of anti-glare screen protectors. Nothing I've used compares and I'm just going to replace the one thats on there now.
I've been using Boxwave stuff for 6 or 7 years and am 100% satisfied with every purchase. For people that live in the cold country and wear gloves their capacitive screen stylus is awesome.
Quick question for anyone that knows the answer: Do the stylus work with a screen protector on the phone? Basically does it work with the interaction between the stylus and the glass or does it also work if a screen protector is in the way?
Because I have an InvisibleShield on mine.

Yes they can be scratched .

Ask yourself:
Would you whine and cry if you got a scratch on your screen?
If yes, then buy a screen protector.
If no, then go naked.
Me, I would definitely whine, so I bought a protector.
by the way, there is no 100% surface coverable screen protector available...
Due to the curve in the corners of the screen, full screen protector will not sit properely... so the edges (2mm) are not protected form the scraches...:crying:

Actually ZAGG Invisible Shield (It's on my Galaxy S3 at the moment) covers 99.9% of the phone. It's also a very durable screen protector that will last months.
Awww but they do scratch, and it would take something pretty hard to put a gouge in the screen but a knife, keys or any amount of things can easily put micro scratches in the Oleophobic coating and if you use in daylight it gets hard to see the screen.
I have a sp on mine. Just to be safe. I wish my shell would get here from amazon already! I've accumulated some scuff marks on the back cover somehow! greatest phone ever!

Hey all,
just wondering. Is screen protector needed for this phone? I got the Diztronic case from amazon, been with it about a month and a half. It comes with its own screen protector which I used from day 1.
It has some bubbles on the sides, barely noticeable, but I'm wondering if screen protector is really needed on this phone?
My old galaxy S 4g (t959v) had the same gorilla glass, never used screen protector and almost a year and a half later is still is intact, with some minor scratches that are only visible when phone is pointed towards the sun or a very bright light.
What I hate about these protectors is that you get to much fingerprints on it and it's hard to get off, even while using the provided cleaning cloth. It's like oil that won't get off easily. I remember my old sgs4g, it was easy to clean and fingerprints weren't as bad. Also, screen seems brighter. Don't know if this phone minimum brightness level is lower, but the sgs4g looks a LOT brighter on lowest brightness setting than this phone, which I hope is because of ROM and not because of screen protector. Though this should mean better battery life for me while indoors i guess.
What you guys think?
Its opinion and preference. Im fairly nice to my phones, I dont use a screen protector or a case. i also think pizza is better than hamburgers and like blondes over brunettes.

I have used a protector on all my phones. Its not essential to use one but I think its worth because you eventually will get at least a small scratch on the device through normal usage and scratches are visible when you hold the screen(when it is off) under light. And I dont think that a screen guard would be a disturbing cause for the user experience unless its a low quality one. And it just saves the screen which might also help in getting you a higher resale value because your screen isn't scratched at all.
Well, I don't really like cases and protectors. I think they ruin the look and feel of the device, regardless of the type of case and how much they protect. I like my devices naked.

I had the captivate and I used it without a screen protector for almost a year without it getting any noticeable scratches. Then I got the S2 and within 2 weeks there was about a 1/2 inch scratch on the front, and I was incredibly careful with it. I would recommend using one.

I love to eat both at the same time, and also like both brunettes and blondes.
I've got the casemate pop case. Was bundled with a car charger when I got my GS2 for no additional cost (upgrade cost with case and charger was the same without the bundle anywhere else).
My case is black/gray, but the only one I could find is white/gray except from AT&T's site. Though it is only 20 bucks from AT&T.
Couldn't be happier. Gives the phone a more rugged feel and has helped the phone survive a few falls from about 4 feet straight to parking lots, thanks to my 1yr old, without any damage to the phone. The case has some minor scratches and a couple scrapes. The screen protector has taken all of the damage as well leaving my screen flawless.
It literally looks as of I just took it out of the box minus some lint. Might not be the best case, but is doing the job it was designed to do..and it was free!

Screen protectors are a preference. Though, some of them are known to degrade screen quality. I'm always afraid that my nails will scratch the screen so I always have em. The day I got my phone the first thing I did was get a case and a screen protector. Still going strong and as an added bonus, it covers up the at&t and Samsung logos on the front.

There is nothing better than a nice juicy burger and a......... brunet.
I enjoy the peace of mind, so I always get a quality screen protector for any touch device I own. If you spend a few bucks, you can get one that's not too sticky, goes on with no bubbles and is scratch resistant (which IMO are the three drawbacks of using screen protectors, especially cheap ones).
I've been using zaggs for just shy of a year now. If/how it differs from others, I couldn't say, but I can say it works, phenomenonly. On top of that, what prompted me to go with zagg, is their lifetime warranty (never pay for another one) and if you take the 10-15 minutes to register your purchase, and device online, it insures your screen. User damage, or not, regardless of at&t's verdict, your screen is covered for replacement. Just my two cents

question:
What do they do differently then any other screen protector manufacture? Ive only used the cheap ones and Zagg. i now go unprotected. Can you tell me why are they so likable?
****not trolling im just wondering.****
The crystal clear screen protectors are the best I've seen and used. I almost destroyed the screen on my charge with a set of keys in my pocket but the protector did It's job and saved it. I was helping a friend load some boxes and smashed the keys into the screen. They apply really nice, feel like glass, and are absolutely clear. At $14 for a 2 pack is cheap insurance for your phone. Just my opinion.

Thought I'd post links to the Realook (I don't have one yet, but it's useful to post links to discussed accessories).
This link will lead to both Amazon and Ebay sites.
I've had the realook ones and they don't compare to the quality or protection offered by Steinheil. I've run these on every phone I've had and my Ipod touch. Too bad they are not supporting the Rezound. They have them for the Thunderbolt, Incredible, and One X.

Just to put my thoughts out there - I fully disagree. I think the reallook ones are very comparable to SGP and come in at a very close second.
Thats how i feel as well. I had steinhils on all my devices for years...and i feel as tho the realook is just as good if not better. My 2 cents.
Sent from my HTC Rezound.
I've always had a preference for Steinheil too... They are just better... But I guess to the normal person they are just as good as anything else, a screen protector is a screen protector... Even though they are much better.
Most protectors I've used are really smooth and nice for a week or so, then get grippy feeling, even after cleaning them. Probably has something to do with the hardness... But the steins feel better for longer. Just something I've noticed...
Edit: oh not to mention they don't scratch as easy...
My realooks have been super scratched for the past 6 months of usage, wish I had something that is more scratch-proof
Ordered the Realook protectors. Guess I will find out soon enough. Always used zagg,wanted to try these out.

The plastic tips feel much better on a tempered glass screen protector than the rubber ones.
Actually the pen is powered by an electrical field generated by the phone. The electrical field is also used to determine pen position. Pen contact is determined by the pressure placed on the point of the pen. To prove this, take out the pen and open action note. Hover above the screen and then press the tip with your finger instead of the screen. You will still place marks on the screen. This shows that the screen does not interact with the pen in any way.

wow thanks i didn't know my extras were of rubber AND plastic. my default one was rubber and it didn't glide as well as i wanted it to (at least on my ebay tempered glass protector). i changed it out for a plastic one and now it's perfect (if anything, too slippery). now i have 1 extra plastic, and 4 rubbers.
OP, try to double check your extras... the plastic tips are even shinier than the rubbers, so you can visually see the difference with a good eye.
I had no idea that it came with plastic tips. I popped one in and the pen is much more enjoyable to use now. Plus there's no more sticky streak marks on my screen from the rubber tip wearing away.
In glad I saw this thread.
just checked my spare tips. 2 plastic and 3 rubber + 1 rubber(original)....seems a bit much on the rubber ones lol..but im guessing they do wear out faster
the plastic ones feel alot...nicer on the screen than the rubber ones lol
Does anyone know where to buy replacement plastic tips? I checked the box and can't find my replacement ones. I've searched and the only option I found was buying a brand new S Pen + the tips for around ~$20. My current rubber tip is almost completely worn out.

Actually the pen is powered by an electrical field generated by the phone. The electrical field is also used to determine pen position. Pen contact is determined by the pressure placed on the point of the pen. To prove this, take out the pen and open action note. Hover above the screen and then press the tip with your finger instead of the screen. You will still place marks on the screen. This shows that the screen does not interact with the pen in any way.

Don't let it get to you, it isn't like you started a new thread to ask about it.
wow, I've had my phone since October 4th, and hadn't even noticed that there are both plastic and rubber-tipped replacement nibs in the box! the plastic one is much smoother when using a tempered glass screen protector, so I swapped out the one that originally came installed.
thanks for the post !
ohh..
everyone has plastic and rubber tips?
mine only has plastic replacements, i find the rubber one better on my simple diamond screen protector.
I also tried each and every tip, they are all plastic.
