[Q] n00b here. Help required. - Nexus S General

I want to buy a Samsung Google Nexus S I9023 but it does not have a Gorilla Glass. If I use a screen guard, will that be enough protection and will it impair the touch experience?

Yes it will be enough as long as you don't throw it at a wall or drop it(although I still recommend the gel case or hard case in addition to screen protector) and I haven't noticed any hindering of elegance and I am using the Zagg screen protector. It may take a week but it will mold right in and you'll hardly notice it is there.

Thanks
It was really a relief. Anyway am from India and will have to look for local equivalents but hearing that it would not impair the experience was a deal-saver Thanks really.

I use the phone without a screen protector for about 3 months now. I don't have a single scratch on it. I always take good care of it and never put it in a pocket with anything else (except maybe a handkerchief).

Same with me; no screen protector and I've had mine for about 4 months without any problems whatsoever. I don't even take any special precautions except to make sure there isn't any sand or anything on the screen before I wipe it.

Had the phone early January and have not used it with a screen protector and have yet to get a scratch on my screen. Don't worry too much about it

I didn't have it more than two days before the protector was put on it. This is, of course, only because I get a discount on accessories occasionally at the store I usually go to. So 25% off sounded pretty good without having to buy two accessories for the usual deal.

Zagg Screen Cover from BB

When it says leave the device off for 24 hours, is that before or after you put the shield on? I can't see why it'd be before, but just curious.
Also, anyone have any special warnings before I apply this thing?
it's after you put it on to let it cure. It's going to feel weird spraying liquid on your screen to set the protector, but it does work. I've only used the Zagg on the body part of my devices, it seemed to "sticky" for the screen for me. I generally like the Zagg shield. I've had one on the body of my Archos A5IT for over a year. I might try it on the Acer screen.
edit: oh... and just realize you have time to play with it for the first few minutes to get everything smoothed out and a lot of the tiny bubbles will disappear as it sets, but after you get it set, you can't take it off and reposition it the next day.
Went ahead and slapped it on. Yea, I took a moment to align the camera hole and then squeegeed it on. A couple of microbubbles, but they state that will disappear as it cures.
Now to poke around on my gtab while this thing cures.
Curing is for sissies.
Just installed mine... it's in the case and I'm typing away!

Cuts glare dramatically, fingerprints greatly reduced. I think the display quality is marginally subdued. Make sure you put it on correctly and get the bubbles out - the wetter the better.

I bought my tab at a full best buy store.. they did not have screen protectors.. Not even the tab on display.
I took it into a best buy mobile site and paid the 31 bux for the screen protector, but I went ahead and paid them 14.99 to install it.. I figured, what the hell, I just paid 480 for it (after tax), so another 45 bux is worth it.
took only about 1 day for it to fully cure and the last little micro line to come out. other than it is a little tactile orange peel feel to it (all zaggs have this), and your finger may drag a little, it is well worth it.
Let the finger prints get on the shield and not your screen.. just wipe them off.
I love the tablet!
I'm loving it, it might be a bit better glarewise, but not much. The big thing for me is I don't feel like I'm touching my filthy fingers on a pristine piece of virgin glass anymore. I don't have to wash my hands every 30m of tablet use.
I never got a protector for my Viewsonic Gtablet and never got a scratch. Same usage patterns with the A500 and I got a small scratch 3 days in. Returned it to best buy for an exchange and got the protector this time. Dunno if the crystal is different in the 2 models or I just got unlucky with the A500, but there you go.
I use it on all of my devices.

never turned my on, or took off factory protector until
I was pretty clear I wanted/needed a screen protector.
I carried the thing into the box into the mobile site to have them install the protector. I did not take the factory protector off, I let them do it..
I really like the protector, but, it can be a fingerprint magnet, but it wipes off easy enough.

I thought I read that the A500 has Corning Gorilla Glass. Does that mean it's less likely to break, but still susceptible to scratching?

it's actually the other way around.
It will break easier than it should scratch.
Gorilla Glass shatters like crazy if you drop somethign on it (i saw it happen).
Day to day scratches should not happen. I don't want to test that theory, mind you.
I don't have a protector on it yet, not sure if i will.
The feel of naked glass is just sooo pleasing.
This thing has such a great display, I don't want to subdue it at all with a screen protector. My phone has gorilla glass as well, and I've dropped that from 3 feet onto concrete multiple times (on accident), and the display is still flawless, so I am confident I won't get any scratches on this.

Zagg protectors are different depending on which device they are used.
The protector for the A500 feels pretty rubbery and is very "orange peel-y" whereas the Zagg on my wife's iPad is a lot smoother in both respects. It's so much easier to glide your finger over the Zagg on the iPad than it is on the A500, I might replace the A500 one with one from the iPad!
Both protectors produce a light shimmery effect and definitely reduce the wow factor on both screens so that's a disappointment but they both greatly reduce glare and fingerprints which is a big plus.
Unfortunately, it's a set of compromises you have to accept when using them.

Who has a screen protector?

If you have a screen protector can you please post which one? Please include a description of it, does it help with glare, fingerprints, and any sacrifice in display quailty? How much you pay and a link if not bought at a retail store.
I know people have them, but not much commented on how they are once installed. Thanks.

I think I'm going to try out the Zagg. As much as I don't like the idea of spending $30 on a screen protector, its worth it. I have $50 at best buy anyway. Wish they had a display with it set up. Or does anyone know of a way to rerun a screen protector if your not satisfied with it?
I really can't go any longer without one.

Upon further investigation, if you buy the zagg from the directly, which is $10 cheaper than best buy, they give you a 45 day money back guarantee. I may just take advantage of this if I can't test one out.

I've ordered some from the company before and they are good to deal with. I think they also have a lifetime guarantee if you register your protector on their site.
Using GadgetShieldz
I've just ordered Gadegetshieldz, they don't make it for the A500 yet, but you can use the "DIY" version and trim it to fit before applying it. I've used their products for almost all my phones, I prefer it over Zaggs or Skinomi stuff.
gadgetshieldz.com/diy-gadgetshieldz-skins/
It'll take about 1.5 weeks to arrive (since it's a India company - oversea mail), but it's cheap and does the job. In fact, i have one for my iPad (1st gen) and I like it a lot.

I got this one too. It's surprisingly easy to apply.
Attached is a photo I took with the front cam of my Iconia. There's an unprotected gap at the edge of the front where you still can see the reflection from the windows.
I bought the Zagg directly from their site. Installed it just a few minutes ago. Pain in the rear to get it lined up and laid down. I'm interested in seeing how well it calms down over the next couple of days. I installed one on my sons Ipod as a dry application and granted even though it's much smaller it was way easier to handle and install than this wet application was. I will reserve judgement for a few days and see how it turns out.
Xoom Protectors
I bought a pack of 3 from the Verizon store for $24.95 - they go on easily and although they don't cover the bezel, they do cover the entire screen area with about 1/8" over all around. Nice protector and very durable.
ZAGG Invisible Shield
I've been using ZAGG Invisible shields for quite a long time.. Most are pretty easy to install. With the exception of this one.. Took a few tries but I got it on there. One of the best things I can tell you about them is that if anything goes wrong with them. They give you a lifetime replacement warranty. Just make sure you register the product and you are covered.. So what I like is that they stand by their product.
Just in case you are interested about that tidbit.
Zagg Shield
Very disappointed with the Zagg shield. a real bit** to install and I hate the way it feels. The drag on your fingers is definitely there. I should have realized I wouldn't like it because I had one for my Omnia phone and I ended up taking it off of that as well.
I really liked the Zagg body glove on my wife's phone but hers is not a touch screen.
Oh well, live and learn.
I had the Zagg shield put on the Acer A500 and I like the feel of it. Easy to clean and seems to reduce some glare.
I paid Best Buy $15 to put it on. Best decision.
I watched the BB person apply the shield. The process took about 20 minutes, and she got it right the first time.
After watching, I am convinced that I would have messed it up.
The stylus is useless with the the zagg cover right?

Anyone using ghost armor?

Well I currently have SGP dual front and back but this thing is a finger print magnet. I saw a ghost armor booth in the mall and I'm wondering if anyone uses it? How's clarity and smoothness? Orange peel? Does it pick up a lot of fingerprints? I don't want to pay a lot and then not like it!

I use it exactly because there is a ghost armor stand at the mall.
No orange peel. I haven't used other wet applies, but I don't think it feels rubbery. It is not edge to edge, the curved edges are left uncovered and even the back piece is a little small. I have the official bumper with it and the ghost armor works perfectly, the bumper actually does not even touch the front and back pieces. I have the full covering around the edges as well, which obviously does get covered.
Hope that helps.

I just got a full body Ghost Armor for my N4 and I was surprised by 2 things:
1) It isn't edge to edge which I found odd because it was a wet apply.
2) Normally, I would not even look at a screen protector if it wasn't edge to edge but oddly, this protector isn't even noticeable that it isn't edge to edge. The way the N4's screen curves on its sides is so pronounced that you won't be able to see the edges of the screen protector. I've seen some other non-edge to edge protectors (SGP for example) and it looks terrible with such a "small" protector but this one seems to be oddly fine. I can't explain why this one looks fine (it's not as if they use some kind of special material or something), but I have no problems with it at all and as a bonus, it won't lift up because of any cases. Best of both worlds I'd say and I'm pretty satisfied.
I also got them to throw on a matte back protector which I think will go well with the official bumper if that ever comes back into stock. I was going to get a clear back as well but they ran out and offered me a matte back which I took. Think it was a good decision as the back will feel more solid with it than a smudgy and fingerprinty clear back.
They also put on some side protectors for the sides of the phone which I don't really like. Most likely going to rip them off, but might keep them as I will be using a case anyways and would make no difference.
Pretty satisfied overall. A little pricey at $35 for a full body kit + installation but I have always hated applying screen protectors by myself. Throw in the lifetime warranty and it's fair value I'd say.
Thanks for the replies. One last question. Does the clear one repel fingerprints well? If not how would you compare the matte one to the clear one as far as clarity is concerned?

I used to only use ghost armor but tried Bestskinsever and now ghost armor looks like crap to me. The orange peel effect is horrible on ghost armor and on BSE it almost non existent. Just my opinion

The clear one repels fingerprints about as well as the screen alone, maybe a little better, which basically means it doesn't.

You can order it and install it yourself and save 5$ from the installation fee. It is really easy to install yourself, although it takes a little while to cure, being a wet-apply screen protector. Personally I also don't really trust the stand at the mall near where I live, as I let the guy there do it once, and he did it quite poorly (left dust and many bubbles underneath, and actually didn't line up the cutouts right). I ended up redoing it myself ( I feel like reiterating that it is the easiest screen protector installation I have ever done). However, this is just my experience with the people at my mall, YMMV.

I've generally had good experience with the stand at my mall, specifically with one guy who even when hungover (he told me) still did a great job. I've certainly had better treatment with Apple devices though, they go through so many iPhones/iPods each day that they can do it in there sleep and I find they have more difficulty with less popular, or, in this case, new devices like the Nexus 4.
With the Nexus 4 I'm a little dissatisfied with some of the application. The sides in particular, but for some reason the guy had trouble with the backing as well and there is a few air bubbles that have been bugging me. I've been considering redoing it myself, but as I've always had them do it I don't have the materials.
Do you know what I could use to reapply it at home?

I found that many of the tiny speck-like air bubbles actually dissappear by themselves after a few days, the larger ones you can sort of "push out" with your finger.
If you choose to install it yourself, they give you all the supplies you need, including a new screen protector, covered under the warranty. However, the mall stand I go to asks that you bring in your old screen protector if you peeled it off, so hang on to it.

I've never been given all the supplies before, as they do the install there and then I'm on my way. I've gone back and got them to reapply a few times previously with a few other devices, but I felt like I might just try it myself this time.
I realize most of the bubbles disappear, but it's already been over a week and there are a number of them left including one large one that I knew from the beginning would never go away on its own.

Does the Nexus 4 come with a screen protector?

Hi everyone,
So the question is pretty clear I think, I want to know if the Nexus comes with its own screen protector from LG/Google?
Thanks!
Sort of. It has one front and back. It looks like it's not intended to be kept on there, because there is a tiny tab to remove it, but mine seems perfect so I still have it on after several weeks!

Yes and they are perfectly cut but the front one has volume and power button symbols on it though but work very well still got my back one on.

Yes, the Nexus 4 comes with front and back ones. They are pretty high quality too-nothing like those 5-for-a-dollar ones you get on eBay or the one that comes on Samsung devices. Like somebody else said, there are pictures on the front of the power and two volume buttons. They aren't that annoying though. I took off the factory screen protector and put on my Skinomi a few weeks ago because I got it for that reason lol. I still have the back protector on.

does the device arrive with the protectors on it or are they separate?
Why am I asking? Assuming they come on the device, I don't want to think that I haven't received the protectors.
Typically those are the shipping protectors, they should be on the device. They really aren't met to be left on but to protect the glass in the box during shipping from scuffs and dirt.

Yes and no.
You are for the most part right, but since they have cut outs for camera and proximity/light sensor, it's pretty clear they expected people to leave them on.
I received my Nexus 4 in the mail yesterday and have left the screen protector on it's actually better than most screen protectors that are pre-installed on devices. I also think the volume and power indicators are actually quite useful. I'm still getting used to the location of the power button (coming from an HTC Sensation where it was on top). Like someone mentioned the indicators aren't too distracting either.

No it does not. It comes with a film that is static applied as part of the manufacturing process but they are not meant to be used as screen protectors.
they're screen protectors in a sense that its to protect it while it ships to you, but not meant for long term use. it doesn't have a good glide for your finger.
the front screen is rather tough. I've had mine naked for 2 months and not a single scratch. you may want to leave the back one on until you find a more permanent solution if you really want a screen protector.
Did anyone here ever use the Wrapsol screen protector? I want to buy it (and the back protector of course) but I heard it has the orange peel effect - can anyone confirm/disprove this claim?

I am using the Verizon screen protector, but other than that, no case. I hate cases and haven't found one I like for any of my phones (iPhone 3Gs, Iphone 4s, Lumia 920, LG G2). The only case I've ever considered was a wood back replacement for the iphone 4s' glass back, but I couldn't bring myself to spend $80 for it.
I just have a screen protector on it. Been browsing the accessory page trying to find a case I really like but haven't been able to choose one yet. I'm on the Next plan (ATT) so I have 12 mos before I can turn it in if I want.
I was.. But I switched to a poetic palette case because it was a little too slippery for me. Though I'm not a clumsy person and rarely drop phones, I had to get a grip on it. I may go for a glass screen protector since i plan to keep this for a while.

That's my concern ours the slip it has to it. Was thinking about a zagg type back skin.

Someone a couple weeks ago used a fine still wool to buff off the slippery texture, though I didn't feel it myself so I couldnt vouch for it. It also changed the look of it to more of a brushed metal look. I may be in the minority but I like the pattern on my At&t version more than that.

I'm using it naked and plan to have it in fantastic condition in 18 months. Did the same with LG Dare and Galaxy Nexus, though they have small scratches on 1 or 2 corners.
I just rarely drop things. I keep care for my important belongings.
Always nude never ran protection on any phone, ya just gotta be really careful
Vzw screen protector & the ugly folio case. I paid retail for my G2 wasn't gonna take a chance. So, I'm looking for a case with a small footprint. G2 is too cool to have a bulky case.
Always naked....always...DroidX...GNex...G2. I love the people that brag about how thin their iPhone is and they have this monstrosity of a case that makes it 4 times as thick.
I only use it fully naked in the house. Otherwise I have to put some pants on.

lol I came in here to say the same thing and cant believe it took until the 2nd page of replies to see it!
Well I just put on a tpu case. Normally put the phone on my front pocket faced down with no sharp objects. Should do fine.

Naked atm but only because the tempered screen protector isn't out yet

Fully naked and have no scratches at all on the screen. Curious to know how others are faring that aren't using any screen protectors and cases now that our phones have been out for a little while.

No case but I HAD to ghost armor at least the back. The phone was too slippery

No screen protector here, but already 2 tiny tiny scratches on the screen (and I do take good care of it !!!).
So I'm planning to get a screen protector asap...
