[Q] Screen Protectors, do we need them? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if we do need them, or does the phone come with one already applied from the factory?
If we do need them, anyone reccomend the ones to get?

I don't personally use one because I'm very careful and keep my phone in a mofi case. Although I do know someone who has owned the phone a shorter time than me and has already scratched his screen.
I suppose it depends on how careful you are. The screens on these things are tough but they will scratch.

Was thinking of purchasing a gel case, or some sort of case.
FlexiShield for Galaxy S II
Has caught my eye, looks rather good. I know it wont offer full screen protection, but, The raised case around the screen means the screen won't touch any surface if its placed face down im guessing?

I always use a screen protector just in case, as I find the trade off between having one on or risking scratching a screen on a phone I paid £400+ that will continually bug me if scratched is worth it.
I normally pickup a pack of cheapies from ebay and replace when needed.
Also picked up an lovely s-line case too from ebay which does the job and looks great.
Sorry can't post an links as am in work and Ebay and other pleasures are banned

Gorilla glass is very resistant to cracks, but not to scratches from small pieces of sand etc.
I use sgp crystal screen protectors, so far so good.

screen protector
You should use a screen protector no matter what. It's easier to replace the protector than the screen. Don't waste money on expensive ones either. I don't use eBay but I do find them on amazon dirt cheap. Amazon is a excellent source for phone accessories. I use otterbox commuter case for my phone. You should if they make one for your model. The commuter case is best of the best when it comes to cases.

i like matte screen protectors myself , they dont show up fingerprints or oils as much , on the flip side they arent as clear as ''crystal'' ones nut i find that the ''crystal'' ones pick up fingerprints oils to easy for my likings
matte ones also feel really nice and smooth , i got some cheap ones from ebay and they are fine however sgp do some matte ones as well
google is your friend
i always use a screen protector even on gorilla glass , it will scratch under certain conditions with certain particles and id rather change a screen protector then the sgs2 front glass which isnt an easy job at all as everything is built into the front of the unit
have a good day and enjoy your new gadget

Hi
You can probably purchase a screen protector for the whole screen so you can just protect it from scratches...you can buy from amzer

I am using Zagg shield full body protector best protector in the market it is scratch proof and military grade producy. Not taking the risk cuz I paid 800 bucks for this phone.

Ive heard of people having scratch their screens already, so i would advise getting a protector. It gives that added peace of mind.

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 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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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.

Steinheil Ultra Fine Screen Protector

I'm disappointed with the grainy look of the Moshi iVisor AG and I want to get a Steinheil.
Would this be a good price?

I am pretty sure I bought mine from Amazon which saved me a few bucks on shipping. I highly recommend this product. It is clear and pretty smooth. In retrospect, I may get the oleophobic version next.
I got the Oleophobic version the other day. Ordered from Amazon to save on shipping since I'm a Prime member. Absolutely love this protector. You can't even tell that its on the phone unless you look closely at it. Its smooth, clear, no rainbow affect, finger prints hardly show and if they do wipe away with ease. Great protector. One side note, they send you two in the package. Nice surprise...
In my opinion, Steinheil makes the best screen protector on the market. I've been using them for years on all my devices.

Do you know if the Oleophobic has the same clarity as the Ultra Clear? I dont want to get anything that will cloud the screen.
It's a great screen protector, I bought the Oleophobic version and you cannot tell that it's even there.
Using the Oleophobic.
Noticeably more friction than the stock screen.
Does appear to make finger oils more apparent than stock screen.
Easy to wipe off.
Does cover the Front facing camera and sensor ports.
I highly suspect the protector would affect front camera performance, although I have not checked this.
Cutout for the earpiece only.
Two pieces in the package, with cloth and scraper. No alcohol wipes.
As always, apply in a clean, dust-free environment.
I'd call it above average.

I am using the Ultra Crystal Clear and I am very happy with it. It did not affect the clarity of the screen before and after installing it. I chose it for the clarity and for the scratch protection.
Unless someone has used or installed both versions on their phone, I think it will hard to judge what is better in terms of clarity. HTH.
Quotes from the SGP web site :
(Sorry I can't still post URL, so if you go to their sgpstore.com site and under cell phone > Samsung SGS2 AT&T)
Ultra Crystal and Ultra Oleophobic screen protectors are both clear type where it absolutely doesn't affect the screen image quality.
Ultra Crystal has glass-like surface coating with the best resistance against scratches.
Ultra Oleophobic has an oil resistant coating to resist oil and other contaminants.
Ultra Crystal : Ultimate Clarity
• Ultra Crystal : 25% Thicker than previous model
• Hard coated for Scratches and Scuffs Proof
• High Quality Optical Enhancement Film
• Ultimate Clarity surface hardness : 4H
Ultra Oleophobic : Oil-Resistance
• Oleophobic coating : Oil-resistance coating
• it protects from staining of oils, cosmetics and other contaminations
• High Quality Optical Enhancement Film
• Good Surface Hardness : 3H

I agree with you on the grainy aspect of the Moshi iVisor screen protector.
I was almost going to purchase it at the AT&T store when two of the AT&T sales guys showed me their Infuse phones one with the iVisor installed and one without. And that's when I decided to go with Steinheil instead. The iVisor on that phone made his screen so matte or so grainy.
Obviously the iVisor has other advantages (scratch resistant, reusable) but not the clarity one for me.
I'm looking to get a screen protector for my galaxy s2 as well. i've heard a lot of horror stories with screen protectors and leaving residue/ruining the screen so I'm a little hesitant in choosing one.
I know this phone has gorilla glass but it never hurt to protect it.
Is the ultra oleophobic worth the 13.99? Can someone confirm the front-facing camera quality since the protector covers it?
Or should i settle for those $1-3 ones on ebay?

I just got my olephobic, it's well worth the $14. Front facing cam is not affected by it, picture quality is beautiful. It blocks oils, so you can easily wipe them off, for that fresh feeling.

I use sgp screen protectors on all of my devices and i love them.

The screen on this phone is by far the best on the market so i want to keep it that way.
Well I guess the comments answer my questions. I'm not too worried about protection, but just want something that will show less fingerprints.
Im planning to get the oleophobic one aswell but I had a question about if I should use this screen protector that came with this gel case I purchased off eBay. the case is nice and all and it came with an ordinary protector, but because I've never applied a screen protector on any phone before - I was wondering should i apply it? I'm very obsessive about the screen on my galaxy s2 and don't know if removing a screen protector incase i dont like it will damage the screen or anything? there is no adhesive or other solution that came with it, its one of those that u just apply it on after removing covers on both sides

It should be fine, and you should use the one you got with your case for practice before putting on the steinheil one, I wish I did. After using both steinheil protectors, I put on the ebay one perfect, wish it was the other way around, lol.

[Q] Favorite Screen Protector?

Just got my first screen scratch on my new Rezound yesterday and have been kicking myself ever since. I've used screen protectors in the past on my tablets, but I personally didn't like the way they felt. They felt plasticky and cheap, whereas the glass screens were so smooth and premium-feeling.
My question to you, the Internet, is about screen protectors. Which one do you like most? Which one feels most like glass/is least noticeable/etc.?
(I searched, but most of the recommended ones in other threads are not produced for the Rezound yet.)
I havent found any legit ones on ebay yet. I like the rubbery film protectors not the hard plastic ones. My favorite for the Inc1 and 2 was the NakedShield. Those were awesome. Couldnt even tell there was anything on it.
I bought one from ebay by "xtreme guard" and it was awful. Pretty good materials but terrible shipping. I got several replacements from him because he ships them alone in an envelope and they come stuck to the side and rip when taken out. I told him several times and attempted to send him pictures of me opening the envelope and seeing the destroyed product but he didnt care
I have one from verizon that I got when I purchased the phone and it's ok, but I have used the seidio ultimate screen guard on every phone I've had since the Evo 4g on Sprint and I really like the feel of them. It's really clear, goes on easy and doesn't feel sticky. I would recommend them.
http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-rezound-screen-guard-protector-p/spm1htrzd.htm
I like the rubbery kind cause they don't scratch or mar.
I use the Ghost Armor brand.
It's crystal clear.
Smooth but not plastic feel.
Some people talk about orange peel effect, for me I only see it if I hold the phone at extreme angle. I never see it or feel it in actual use.
The Ghost Armor seems to be more finger oil resistant than nakedd or the plastic static screen protectors.
And with Ghost's you get life time replacements for your device.
They also have kiosk in malls, where they do installs and replacements.
Yeah $5 replacements and $20 for initial product and install. Ebay protector costs $2 and does the same thing plus I don't have to stick it in an oven or coat it in water.
anybody find one that covers the whole screen including the camer, LED and light sensor?
I've been using (and loving) Skinomi. Yeah, with that name it sounds like it should be sold in a sex shop, but it's a fantastic screen protector. It feels like the bare glass, is crystal clear, and can be put on easily.
You know, now that I think about it, maybe it SHOULD be sold in a sex shop...

Well that's one way to look at it. My previous phone I put the full body Ghost armor on myself, went like 9 months, no case, then it started to peel around the edges got it re-skinned for 5 and it lasted another 18 months until I got this phone.
I tried those static protectors and I just don't like the feel, and they get smudges galore.
E-bay may have something just as good or better but I don't know what it is, and don't have the time to waste buying from a bunch of different places. There's probably a thousand choices on eBay, but I have no clue which is good or if they are even consistent with what they sell. They may be getting screen protectors from several manufacturers.
I'm not certain, but I thought the 5 buck replacement is only if you have it re-installed at a kiosk?
I picked up the clear Halo ones off of Amazon, and am really happy. Don't like the rubbery Zagg ones, and don't like the anti-glare ones as they seem to mess with the clearness of the screen.
I bought the clear Verizon ones when I picked up the phone, and while they are clear, they scratch very easily.
I've had the Halo ones for about a week. They are just as clear, and haven't scratched yet. They fit better than the Verizon, a bit wider so they cover edge to edge, but not quite tall enough. (When you install them, start at the top)
http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Screen-P...ZBEI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327964467&sr=8-1
so far the Seido ultimate screen guards have satisfied me, as clear as the glass, no distortions at any angle... I do recommend!
Just got a second one from "Clear Freak" on ebay. He sent me one for the wrong phone. So I'm having no luck with eBay protectors. I trimmed it to fit but wouldnt advise it. I do tint all day so it came pretty easy to me
Pretty happy with the one that came with my otterbox. tried the Zagg but didnt get along with that one.
I have the REALOOK Crystal Clear one. works very well and no distortions. fits the front plate perfectly from edge to edge. It covers the capacitive buttons, camera hole, and proximity sensor.
Applied in a steamed bathroom and result had no air bubbles.

Not a good idea. Had several people call in with water damage on their phones and I had to tell em tough luck. Doesn't matter if it actually has water damage just if the external or internal sticker turns pink

I just got in my Boxwave Crystal Clear today and it fits over the entire glass top to bottom with a cutout for the front facing camera. I had one on my Dinc for 2 years and it was great--got very view scratches--and I like the feel on the screen. They are expensive but can be removed, cleaned, and replaced.

Press your fingernail into the black area above or below the screen. You will see it is not hard like the bare glass. That small bit of give is what is being described. The static screen protectors don't have that.

The best screen protector i can buy online

Last time I bought from eBay some very fast scratched screen protectors for my XT910, and now would like to know whats the best screen protectors I can buy online for the device? Thanks.
I've used two types. One is hard plastic, really easy to install, shows fingerprints and scratches easily. The other has a soft rubbery feel, is difficult to install, and doesn't scratch.
I know xtremeguard sells the soft kind, they often have decent coupon codes. I'm sure you can find them on ebay cheaper, but it isn't always easy to tell which type you are getting.
I am using invisible shield, it's working well. Bought it when I bought the phone and it's working well.

its vey cheap and kinda scratch proof , doesnt show fingerprints and easy to remove and doesn't left any adhesive after remove.
Please hit the thanks :thumbup: if i ever helped ya !!
I personally use all spigen SGP screen protectors. All their ultra crystal protectors are super scratch resistant. They don't have anymore on their site for the RAZR but I believe if you search amazon you will find that they actually use it for their back stock retail in the US.

Anyone tried The Holy Grail glass screen protector?

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.

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.

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..
