I usually do not ask these questions but here it goes. Had my One for a week now no screen protector. Usually I would never go this long without a screen protector. So far no issues and I have gotten use to the glass. Soooooo..... Should I get one for this device?

I don't use screen protectors. Every time I ever put one on, it was off again in a day . The screen is glass, and it takes minimal effort to prevent scratches. I work construction most of the time and toss my phone in my tool bag, never had a problem. Screen protectors basically protect the display for the next person who gets your phone, which is pointless to me. You paid for your phone, it should be you who gets to experience the luxury of feeling the slick, smooth glass beneath your finger tips, not the next guy.

Yea I understand that. I always try to keep my phone's as mint as possible to trade up after a few months. So far the screen has held up like a champ. I know deep down that all it will take is one scratch and game over.

I am getting this phone on Monday and am debating about getting a screen protector or not. I hate cases and such (they ruin the feel and design of the phone) but after having my One X+ get scratched up (never dropped it or put it face down on anything) I am seriously considering getting a screen protector. It seems like other peoples Ones are holding up fairly well so im kinda stuck. (Keep in mind that all my other phones iP4, S2, S3, iP5, never had any scratches on them.)

Exactly how i feel :good:

I didn't see a thread about this in the accessories section here, so I figured it would be a good one since many people will be getting one, despite the Gorilla Glass supposedly being a good protector as-is.
In my experience, good screen protectors will accomplish one of two things, but never both:
1) Invisibility - you don't even notice it is there, and does not mar your screen quality whatsoever (a big perk when your new phone's biggest feature may be the screen)
2) Glare-resistant - you sacrifice some of your screen's brightness and jump-off-the-phone clarity and colors, yet you do get much less glare, improved visibility outside in the sun, and it tends to have a smoother feel when swiping across the screen.
The purpose in this thread was to allow people to share recommendations for screen protectors on both fronts. I, personally, want one that won't hinder my phone's screen quality (although my OG EVO has a glare-resistant one on it right now). Any recommendations on brand, type, deals, etc?
Also, I've noticed that many of them won't be available until June or so, which is frustrating since I want to have a protector on mine as I walk out of the store next Friday. Ideas? Do I just buy the cheapest thing possible until a great one is available? Risk going without one for a couple weeks?
Share your thoughts and plans here! One week to go!
XO Skins is already shipping them. They posted a few videos today reviewing the phone on their youtube channel. You can get one here.

I have been using them for a while on my Nexus. I am considering switching to the evo lte or the galaxy III. I am waiting for that to compare, but the review in my signature has a tun of comments feedback etc. It's the best one on the market imo. I would get the full body on these since the back of the evo lte looks pretty weak. These don't have orange peel like others and have a lifetime warranty. The best coupon floating around is sprintxo

i have had the same skinomi one on my epic for 2 years now..they are pretty thick and protect well as well have having a lifetime replacement (just pay shipping). however i may not spend the $7 to get one this time around because while it protects really well, you can definitely tell it's there. the glare isn't bad on it either. being 2 years old i am unsure if they changed the formula for making them though.
I always buy phantom skinz. They are great. You can't tell visibly that they are there. Not anti glare and they're not real rubbery feeling like Zagg and you get 2 for 1.
Usually have a coupon code for 15-30% off. Which usually makes them 2 for $7-9. Can't beat that.

On my original evoi had one of Sprints matte screen protectors which weren't too bad, but prefer a screen protector that does not sacrifice screen quality, I had used ZAGG on my HTC touch pro and is currently on my Prime.The feel of the screen is a bit rubbery at first, but once it breaks in it feels very comfortable and smooth. It does not sacrifice any quality and they offer protection for the back of the phone as well. Unfortunately, ZAGG did not have anything listed yet for the Evo LTE , I did email them and got this response:

I second this. Steinheil is the GOAT. Crystal Clear, doesn't diminish the screen, very durable.
They will be making them soon enough. I need to find something temp for the time being. Because I am a danger around things which aren't protected.
Can't stand the ones with liquid though. They always freak me out.

Eh, they 'll still make them. A lot of assessory places say they have no plans but they are waiting to see the demands.
I'd be more concerned if a case maker said that, since it takes more resources. Screen protectors is a matter of cutting the right size.

I know they will still make them but might not as soon as we'd like...
Case makers say the same thing btw, its a straight company line unless they are already into production with the item b/c only then will they be able to 100% confirm they are going to have one.
I know the overall outside dimensions b/w the EVOLTE are different than the OneX slightly but what about the screen?.....should OneX screen protectors not work on the EVOLTE? or is the dimension of the actual screen different too slightly...The MAIN difference is the OneX case on the inside on the screen has round edges where as the EVOLTE is squared off in the corners...
might be worth something trying there for those that want to...
I'm waiting for the Steinheil protectors as well. They're the best. Period.

Gorilla glass won't stop dust or dirt from scratching it. This has been beaten to death in some other topics but the gist is that the key scratch tests etc don't scratch it because brass is softer than gorilla glass. Dirt and some dust is much harder so it will scratch. It's stronger than most glass, but not scratch proof. That's why people still use protectors, let them take the beating, if they get damaged, peel it off and slap another on there.
I got an extra screen protector left over from clarivue for the original evo. Will have to see how well it fits the evo lte, even if it doesn't cover up the screen entirely.

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'll eat both the phone is fine with no protector if your semi careful I've dropped mine had it in my pocket and so on, no scratches but I like the safety of a protector not gonna pay that much for att warranty.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
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

Hi XDA
I'm new here (this is my first thread) and I want to ask something. I have a question about screen protection on the GS3. At the moment I got a screen protector (€6,-) and the original GS3 Flip case (sideways). I also have a black vertical leather flipcase. But now comes the problem.
I find it difficult to type with the case flipped back. You have to kinda hold the phone a bit weird to type and I just don't like it.
My problem with the leather case is that it makes the phone like 2 times as thick.
Now my question: Is it necessary to have extra screen protection next to my screen protector (like with a flip case)? Can I use cases like the Otterbox Commuter in combination with my screen protector without worrying about scratches? I don't want to mess my screen up.
Note: I REALLY don't want any scratches or other stuff on the screen... I just put the phone into my pants and I just use it like a common person. Nothing exceptional.

(knock on wood) I have had an iPod Touch which I used for 1.5 years and I never dropped it. I always put my iPod in a Valenta Pouch, but I just don't think a pouch/pocket is good for a 4.8 inch phone. I don't want something too bulky and be able to use it immediately when I take it out of my pants. Now I'm using the original flip case and that doesn't protect the screen very well against falling. I dropped my phone a few times and I saw the flip part caught the wind from the fall and opened, ending with my phone landing on its screen. That's also why I want a case which has a little part at the front of your bezel/screen, so the screen never touches the surface it's laying on.
I kinda made up my mind, I'm going for the otterbox commuter. Is it a good screenprotector that comes with it?

I was over at the Verizon store yesterday doing something totally unrelated, when I pulled out my DNA TO READ a text and this (up to this point) salesperson, was doing quite well. He then tried to sell me a screen protecter, saying it was "critical I have one to protect my warranty." He went on to explain that if the phone is returned for warranty for any reason, that if they can see any, including extremely minor hard to see scratches, the warranty is NULL AND VOID. I told him THAT is the worst salespitch I have ever heard. He then proceded to try and find a minor scratch by looking at my screen in any angle and light (and couldn'tfind one). Said I was extremely lucky to have had this phone since launch day and not have any scratchs, and AGAIN tried to sell me a screen protecter. Huh???

Even though this is gorilla glass 2 it can still scratch, obviously it's harder to scratch but I feel safer with one on and have always had screen protectors on mine and sometines they save large scratches from happening. The ones at verizon suck as they don't cover the entire screen but I think having one is a nice added later of protection. Just my thoughts.

I can speak first hand that the screen definitely scratches (i have about 6 or so). That being said, it did withstand a face down drop from about 2 feet.
I just bought a One yesterday and wanted to know if everyone has any opinions on getting a screen protector. I don't plan on throwing my phone around with a bunch of quartz sand or anything, but I have had scratches on my Note 2 and GS3.

I know you'll get the random comment telling you that it's not necessary, but think about it: you've spent already about $600 on this phone, you should treat it as an investment. A good screen protector could set you back $25 in the mall is it really worth to skip on it when you've already spent that much already on your phone anyways?
I always place a screen protector on all my phones on day 1, regardless of gorilla glass or anti scratch technology on the screen, I'm not their QA department, I don't get paid to test their features.
Hope this comment enlightens you.

Yes. I have a scratch on the bottom portion of the screen. It's not noticeable when the screen is on, though. But I know it's a scratch since I rub over it and feel a slight bump. =.S
But that Tmo JUMP will have me getting the HTC One Max later on this year. I'll put a screen protector on that. I don't want scratches. LoL!!
So get a screen protector. I don't even know how I got the scratch. I don't put it in my pocket with anything else. Oh well...
Bought my wife and I matching Ones. $1200 in phones and you'd better believe I put on screen protectors. Whether or not the phone actually needs it, I'd rather be proactive and have piece of mind.

Do you all put that mask on your car to prevent it from getting dirty? Or do you go out and MAKE sure the car has mud flaps? I mean, I understand, but there are somethings I don't try to hard to protect.
Even though screen protectors, are pretty cheap, so it's not that hard to invest in one. Though I wouldn't spend no $20 on a screen protector. I'd just get a $1. I'm just too lazy to get them. LoL!!
And now I have a scratch on my screen. =.P
But I don't really care too much. I'm probably not going to put a screen protector on the HTC One Max when I pick that up. LoL!! (if the rumors are true)
