Cheap Screen protectors - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

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!

Ebay screen protectors, any suggestions?

Hi all:
Does anyone have any suggestions for good screen protectors for the Tilt2 off of Ebay?
I know there are a number of name brand ones which are good, but I have an Ebay gift certificate, so I'd like to buy from there if possible. I can't seem to find any of the good name brand ones on ebay, so I was hoping someone may have tried one of the ones that are available on there.
Suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thanks!
PS: I am currently using the one that came with the phone, and I was happy with its quality, but it has gotten quite scratched up, quickly, so I need to replace it.

Extremely easy to apply, barely any bubbles/air pockets to be seen. My screen looks like it doesn't even have one on.
Or you could try this link. I ordered mine, but I didn't received them yet so I don't have pictures to upload, but they look sharp

I've always ordered screen protectors from Clarivue. The one I put on my Palm TX 4 years ago is still on it. They're durable.
As to ebay, the seller I've always used for clarivues is JHongs. They currently don't have protectors for the Tilt 2 listed, but the last time I asked them to list one they didn't have up, they happily did so.
Just message them, give them the link to the Tilt 2 clarivue (linked above), tell them you're ready to buy, you heard they would list it for you, and I'll betcha in 48 hrs your new screen protector will be on the way.
I bought ebay item #250541670275. It only cost $2.98, it shipped from California, and I had it within a week. They fit the tilt 2 VERY nicely, and I can't tell there's anything on the screen. Buy it!
Thanks so much to everyone who replied!
I will definitely be ordering one of the ones suggested in this thread.
Thanks again!!

I wouldn't call it bad, but in terms of durability it's lacking compared to clarivue or boxwave or some other name brands.
im To late
but your best bet would have been zagg. most of those cheap plasic one's only hold up for about 3 month or so. zagg hold up until u decide to take it off.
www.zaggs.com that the main site and there should be some on ebay also. i kno that you have a gift card.

Don't get this if you have a Tilt2. Just thought i'd give you a heads-up (it'sthe T-Mobile version).
If you still haven't purchased any scrren protector, you must have a look at this, although it's not on ebay it's very cheap and offers full body protection.

If it's not cheap enough use 20% discount cupone PPCSG20
I have excellent experience ordering from Amazon and HIGHLY recommending this seller - Eforcity. (I've ordered 3 protectors for my CDMA and got 8 in the package - someone was pissed to my bennefit )

They say "scratch proof", but 3 of mine scratched.
Also, those "invisible shield" ones leave weird residue that does go away after a while, but it gets annoying.
After trying 3 types of screen protectors, I would HIGHLY suggest the regular scratch proof ones. They really work and the bubbles went away after a night of having it on.

Generally an anti-glare protector has a matte finish and generally the crystal clear ones are glossy. That's the distinction that matters in regards to fingerprints -- any glossy surface is going to be print-astic and hold on to finger oils with the jaws of life.
I have a clarivue anti-glare, and it is definitely more resistant to prints than the stock HTC protector was. But it's not magic, or even oleophobic, it's just an ordinary matte surface.
I also recommend a decent brand like boxwave or clarivue above some no-name protector if you want to be sure it's going to be durable. I used the same clarivue for 4 years on my palm TX and it was in a 100x better shape than the stock HTC protector was after a couple of weeks.

Cheap Ebay Screen Protectors

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?

What's Best Screen Protector (No Spray, No Orange Peel)

I usually use PPC Techs WriteShields but they don't have them yet.
I hate the Zagg ones, there a bad joke.
I don't care for ones that use liquid to put them on, I never had trouble putting ones on perfectly without liquid.
Is the EVO 3D have the exact screen size of some other phones already out.
I may just wait for PPCTechs but the ones that used to be included with Sprint Phones were very similar and quite good.
Does Sprint sell them for this phone?
Looks like Sprint does sell them. $14.99 2 Clear, 1 Anti-Glare plus $6.50 ship !!
I Found theexact part on EBay for $10.00, $2.00 to ship
I searched for ZCH5009V on Ebay.

i alsways use seidio for my screen protectors
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/spm1hev3d.htm
there not rubbery like zag
pretty easy to put on
no water needed
cheaper the most
and there slick once u start using them so ur finger doesn't stick when swiping sliding playing games etc
if in doubt buy the 2 pack its only like 15$ for two worse case u mess up first one and have an extra one left
also if ur really bad with em take it in to sprint or bestbuy with just the screen protector and ask em to put it on and they'll do it saying "its a gift for mom" or something im sure they wont care
Boxwave are simply the best screen protectors, bar none, in my opinion. I've used them all, and nothing comes close.
I ordered this one works great looks great. Covers the whole front glass, screen. Give it a try

That link didn't work.
If you want to order some matte and some clear you can get them directly from the seller on his website. Save on shipping.
Don't chose the free shipping. I don't know what happened but it took over a week for my order to get from FL to TX. He shipped them the next day after I ordered but it took forever. Definitely a USPS problem.

I have used Steinheil for all of my phones. Ordered these and got them yesterday:
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Screen-Pr...QNJQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1310872807&sr=8-5
Installed it today, super easy. Very clear protector, you can't tell it is on. Adds a nice feel to the screen, and the oleophobic coating on the protector makes fingerprints and other gunk wipe off easily without need for a cleaning cloth or something of the like.

I have used boxwave screen protectors too. They are 2nd to none. But, 3vos protectors are not listed on their website, yet.
I like Steinheil screen protectors. Bought the Ultra Crystal and installed it on my 3D and it looks awesome. Can't notice I have it one and to me its durable. Worth every penny.

I'm also using the Seidio one on mine... it's great. Another good one to look at is Martin Fields... even comes with a sheet for the rear camera glass.
I bought the Ultra Clear Steinheil for me and my fiance's phone and love it. Can't even tell it's on.

agreed!
unfortunately, Boxwave doesn't have one available for the 3d yet, so I went with Clarivue, which are just as nice...
it should be mentioned that the Boxwave/Clarivue screen protectors are hard plastic type, giving a very smooth screen feel
I've been using the "Cellett" brand from Fry's.
Whopping $4.99
You cannot tell it's there, perfectly clear, not sticky when dragging finger across, and (from previous phones) I know they last years if installed correctly.
Yea, the Zagg ones from worst buy or wherever blow.
FYI, I bought the Sprint ones.
They stink.
They scratch VERY easy even though they are the hard smooth clear plastic type.
And they do not cover the whole screen.

[Q] Screen Protectors

I just ordered me the photon today, I like to put screen protectors on my phones as soon as I can.
What are our options for high end screen protectors for the photon?
After some searching, the only one I found was skinomi. Currently $6.95 on amazon.
I ordered a 5 pack off eBay for $3 and change. It's shipping from Hong Kong
The 3 pack of screen protectors for the HTC EVO 3D sold in the Sprint retail stores for $14.99 plus applicable sales tax are a perfect fit for the Motorola Photon 4G. IMHO, the Otterbox Defender Series Case is your best protection for it.
Just bought a case on eBay that comes with a screen protector. We'll see how it works out.

I'm currently using the EVO 3D screen protector from the Sprint retail store. It is working well but getting a few scratches. The protectors are definately a bit more than I would like but I wasn't willing to risk scratches to the screen. With my prior EVO i used ghost armor... the sprint sales person said the EVO 3D screens are specifically designed to not interfere with the touch technology.... not sure if I buy it but I was still suckered into spending ...
I have never heard of that skinomi skin are they as good as Zagg?

they dont cover the bottom portion of the screen, sorry fail, scatches have a way to find places that are not covered.
Also the oil/dirt from your finger rubbing will eventually start to lift the edge of the film.
Do you even need one for the Photon since it comes with gorilla glass? It was my understanding that you dont and thats why we here at sprint don't sell screen protectors for them

You do still need them. My wife has an Epic and got a few scratches before she decided to let me put a screen protector on hers.
Too bad for her I'm incapable of putting one on correctly.

I actually received mine yesterday (2 days after I ordered it, I'm impressed).
But I have some fitment issues with the skin.
Not sure if it's a bad cut or if they're all like this but it seems it was cut just a hair too wide.
Three out of four corners line up really well, however one goes past the screen by about 1mm.
I've uploaded pictures but I'm not allowed to post outside links at the moment
I've contacted skinomi, waiting to see what they say.
Just got my Skinomi and applied it, everything seemed fine but an hour later i noticed i let some lint, very small string get stuck underneath, DOH! otherwise mine fit snug. regardless of the lint ill keep mine on for now until the BodyGaurdz Kiosk or Invisible Shield kiosk gets in the Photon and ill have them apply a new skin.
Damn after another hour i realized my skinomi fit perfectly, i had no problems with fit, no curling, everything is great except for that damn piece of lint in the middle of the screen, damnit. I guess i will try to block it out of my head that it exists.

Glad to hear my fitment issue was just a bad cut and not all of them are like that.
Skinomi is sending me a replacement free of charge, no return or anything necessary. Great customer service
Yes you do need one on the photon. I scratched my screen on the second day I had it. Thank god I convinced the sprint store to replace it because of a restarting problem. More I'm babying it until I get some protection.

From my experience, the area of screen I see most prone and most likely to end up with scratches on it sjjones is the LCD area which the HTC EVO 3D screen protectors completely cover. As I stated as well, the best defense and protection for the Motorola Photon 4G is the Otterbox Defender Series case. Yes, it is the most expensive carrying solution on the market, but it is also the most protective.

I hate that feeling like you want to block it out but you just want to rip it off and add a new one but at a price of 20$ for the Zagg I just wait till the next pay check and give a shot.

Try contacing zagg to see if they'll replace it. I know some of the brands of those kinds of screens have some kind of lifetime warranty.
Although generally they don't cover bad installation, it's still worth a shot.
Well other than the lint and occasional finger nail mark the Skinomi ended up pretty well, its almost exactly like the invisible shield but much cheaper. No bubbles, no peeling. The lint bothers me though; Instead of returning this one which costs you like 4-5 bucks (on their so called warranty). I decided to purchase the carbon fiber skin + screen protector combo they sell and just put a new screen protector on in a cleaner environment.
http://www.skinomi.com/sk5877-motorola-photon-skin-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html
(it supposedly looks different than in the picture but i cant find anywhere on the web a picture of the real cut)
I have a 25% off coupon for skinomi, "skinomi25"
when i get this i'll try to take pictures this time, i keep forgetting to charge my dust-covered Nikon D80
Steinheil?
Anyone ever try Steinheil Ultra Crystal protectors? I can't find one yet for the Photon but heard they are the best available. Easily found for other phones on ebay.

He's already stated that he'll be reviewing several glass screen protectors for the S8+, and I think most of the information should apply to the S8 as well.

Sucks that the Amazon link he posted, the item's unavailable. Hopefully it'll come back in stock. Curious about other glass protectors and if they're case-friendly. This one does look promising though.

I went out to Best Buy yesterday to get the Invisible Shield Glass Curve by Zagg and was not impressed. I'm going to try and return it in a couple hours..
The touch response is horrendous. I almost want to call Zagg directly and suggest they pull all these products from stores because I'm sure many people will not be happy.

The touch response is horrendous. I almost want to call Zagg directly and suggest they pull all these products from stores because I'm sure many people will not be happy.

I'm in the same boat with this screen protector. I put it on last night. I appreciated the little frame to help you guide it, but the screen response is crap. There is one section that I have to forcibly push down for it to register. There are some parts that lift and you can hear the plastic coming down to make contact with the screen when being touched. Not the best fit, and for $50 it better be perfect. Calling Best Buy after work to see about a return / refund. There was a $24.99 one there that I'll try next, but it didn't curve.
Just returned mine.

I just got back from Best Buy like 2 hours ago. I returned it and they asked no questions. I did, however, keep the screen on until I got there because I wanted to explain that I was afraid of breaking the screen protector upon removal. They said it was fine and to go ahead an remove it. It came off pretty easily, which made me wonder how long it would have stayed on if I would have decided to keep it. I got my $50 back and I instead bought the $24.99 I think you're talking about. Also made by Zagg called "HD Clear." Its a floppy plastic one and a lot harder to put on correctly but this is the one I had on my S6 and I loved it. Currently I have my S8 curing so the small bubbles can evaporate.
I'm wondering if after I return my Zagg I should just make a drive to the mall and visit the Ghost Armor kiosk and pay to have them put it on? Their website shows a 'case friendly' one costs $29.99 for the screen alone. Not sure how much the person putting it on would charge above that, but I've at least used them before and they also have a guarantee.
I had a tempered glass protector on my S6 that was great, but it had a flat screen so no issues. I tried 2 different tempered glass on my S7 Edge. Neither were any good so I went with a plastic shield that was OK but it's not the same as glass. I just put a Armorsuit plastic screen protector on my S8. It looks better than the one I had on my S7 Edge. If you go on Amazon and check out the reviews on the glass protectors, you see almost all bad reviews. The good reviews are probably mostly fake. I'm going to wait and see if someone finally makes a glass screen protector that actually works properly on curved screens.
I ordered the Philonext on Amazon, arriving tomorrow. I will post later on how it is.
The problem with the 3D curved tempered glass is that the adhesive they use is not like the flat glass versions. Not sure why no one can do this. If you look at all full coverage glass (had one for the LG V20, same issue) the adhesive is only on the outer most edges. Since the adhesive is like .02mm or so, the rest of the screen doesn't sit flat against the display. So this causes the user to use a bit more force to press down on the glass cover. Until someone can fully coat the glass with adhesive as the fully flat glass does, then all will suck. I bought the Verizon Full coverage glass and it's the same...bad touch sensitivity!
