Do u guys use screen protector on yr 7.7?
Personally i dont use any screen protector on my previous gorilla glass mobile phone, like lg optimus 2x, i feel like use it without screen protector would give me more nice experiance, but still thinking should i use screen protector on my 7.7.
How about you guys?

feel like going without too but afraid accident might happen
Had one fitted at point of purchase. It was free & fitted perfectly. Don't know if the screen would be more responsive without one but it feels perfectly fine as it is & so I'm not going to remove it as it would give extra protection.

I got the "frosted" non-shiny type and in sunlight or halogen light it improves readability and is pretty good, but in dark rooms, it looks like the "frosting" makes the RGB colours separate a bit.
Before I got the frosted type i had a clear one, and that was looking greasy all the time when opening the cover, so I was not happy with that.
I am not sure if I will keep it or get rid of it since I need it everyday on the bus were there are lots of reflections, but in the dark it seems that the frosted type is not the right choise for the very nice P6800 display.
From a protection perspective, it will keep fine dust or sand particles picked up by the soft inside of the cover from scratching the surface.
Naked screen here. I think the only exception I would be willing to make is if Spigen made Glass.t for the 7.7, as well as for the Note.

I just applied an official T-mobile screen protector for vibrant... Applied it well with no air bubbles... but when I turned my display on.. I saw that it makes the screen look really blurry and kind of pixelated because of poor quality plastic texture...
I also noticed that the plastic film that the vibrant came with was better quality because it was completely see through and it never worsened the quality of phone's display.
Does anyone else see this with T-mobile screen protectors???
Any recommendations on which one to buy?
I feel like T-mobile really failed at making a screen protector for such a brilliant display.
I always get screen protectors on Amazon. They are so much cheaper.
I really like the T-mo case for Vibrant though.
Get the realook screen protectors. They cover the whole entire screen and buttons, can't tell there is a screen protector, and feels like there is no screen protector on!
They are $10.99 I believe for 2 of them on eBay and Amazon.
What about not falling for the screen protector scam these company are running, You dont need a screen protector for this phone, and anything you put on this S amoled screen will lower the quality of the screen, Remember you are applying a film of something that will have an impact. Go Naked its gorgeous.

How can you say that... There is No mention of Vibrant having a gorilla glass! On Euro Galaxy S model it does say that it has a gorilla glass protecting the screen.
Plus many users on xda said that they got tiny scratches from having the phone in their pocket.. without anything else in it! So there goes to show you still need a screen protector to protect from salt on finger tips and sand in pockets.
I keep my phone in my pocket with keys, coins and any number of other things and I do it naked (but that's besides the point)
I also saw a video on YouTube in Japanese where the guy was trying to scratch it with razor blades, keys, dropping it and various other tortures. I wish I had the link. Anyway, I agree that this phone does not need a screen protector and you will only be degrading the visual impact to some degree. With that said I know that many people just feel better about doing so.

Thanx for your comment... I have seen the video you're speaking of... I was just very sceptical since they show the european galaxy s in there and not the vibrant... And since u said u keep it with ur keys and w/o screen protect that is good news! Thanx!!! I guess Im gona take my ugly t-mobile rip off screen protector off
+1 on the realook. You can't even tell it's on there (can't say the same for clearfreak and definitely not the t-mo one. I tried them both.)
By the way, there are plenty of reports of people scratching the Vibrant screen w/ normal use.

The T-Mobile screen protector are a real sh**. I bouth it when i bouth the phone and they are a poor quality ones and dont cover the entire screen
No gorilla glass?
There were several articles posted in the last week or so (Engadget, Gizmodo, Androidguys) about how it turns out that gorilla glass was indeed used on the Galaxy phones.

It has already been confirmed that the vibrant has gorilla glass. I'm not saying it won't scratch. Its probably a tad more resistant.

I'm with sano614, I bought and have had the Realook protectors from Day 1 and they are crystal clear, so much so that you can't tell you even have it on, but the protection is there. It's also great that for the price you get two of them. Here's a link to some customer reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/REALOOK-T-Mobile-Samsung-Vibrant-Protector/product-reviews/B003WL4W6M
Whatever you choose, put something on it. You paid good money for the phone.

I could bet that these people think they scratched it as I thought mine was scratched SEVERAL times but it was just weird smudges or something that looked like a scratch. After thorough wiping the scratch turned out to be an illusion. My glass is perfectly FLAWLESS with no special treatment whatsoever.
Take it for what it's worth. Maybe I've just been extremely lucky.
Went through 3 different screen protectors and by far Realook is the best. I can't even tell it's even on there.
Realook is amazing, I have had quite a few compliments on it after I tell them there is a screen protector because they don't realize one is there. +1 realook
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
+1 for Realook ! Like everyone here already mentioned, you can hardly feel its presence after you apply it and you know you are protected.
I've used Tmobile's screen protector. It gives the display a scattered rainbow like look. The only good thing was the matt finish was very less reflective and less prone to finger prints. I replaced it with Realook and I'm loving it.
I also have used screen protectors religiously. This time I had zagg, **** was too sticky feeling so I ripped it off after some friends said they go naked on there evos, n1s and incredible, so, I said hell, I never put it in my pocket with anything anyways.
Well, Its just sooooo much better without one. Ive yet to get a scratch either and even dropped it in between the seats of the car and it hit all the way down. One guy up above mentioned it looking like theres scratches but were wiped away, Ive also had those and thought, "oh crap I got a scratch," but realized it wiped right off and my screen also is flawless still.
Gorilla glass or not this bad boy is tough... Just reserve one pocket for your phone only. My right is only my phone and my left is everything else. Pretty soon it will become second nature and you wont even need to think what pocket to put **** in...
GO naked, screw protectors.
Honestly, if realook wasn't this amazing, then I would have definitely gone naked since all other screen protectors seem to take away from the Super AMOLED screen. But to all honesty, realook is awesome. It seriously doesn't feel like there's anything on the screen once installed.
The vibrant may have gorilla glass, but why not invest $10 bucks to protect a $500 phone anyways?
I don't run a screen protector and haven't had any problems with the vibrant or my old G1. I do keep my vibrant in my old G1 pouch case though when its in my pocket.

Hi guys
I had the HTC sensation for over a year and didn't have any screen protector on it or even a case and its still in really good condition you can only see really really small scratches under the light holding it at the right angle.
Do i really need one for the S4? Also if you use one, which one do you use?
Thanks

Can't say if you need one or not, since it depends on what you're doing with your phone. I've used the Spigens glass screen protector and it worked great until it fell off guess I cleaned the screen to shabby before putting it on.

It fell off after a few weeks of usage and it has worked fine without one now for 2 months so I'll probably not get a new one. No scratches so far on the screen.
The screen will get scratched without a screen protector. The End.
I'm very happy with Spigen's GlasT Nano. Minimize the chances of botching the install by using the tape hinge method and using the shower to steam the room to remove dust from the air.
Nope, never used one in my life. Use good cases though like atm the Spigen Slim Armour View Case for the S4.
I like to keep my phone in mint condition, so i use Spigen's Steinheil Ultra Crystal screen protector and a Spigen Neo Hybrid case, and for day's when i know i'll go out and drink too much i use a otterbox commuter case
I use this screen protector, because the glass ones are too thick and i don't really like it.
i use the iSmooth ultra clear, i love it, it feels like theres no screen protector and i cant even see the borders of the protector because the otterbox commuter covers them (except te top border)
So the Galaxy Note 3 Manual says: "Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions."

Has anyone had any issues using a screen protector? Is the added protection worth whatever "malfunction" you might have to deal with?

I've had no issues using an Invisible Shield screen protector for over a week.
i dont know most people wont have any issues out of a screen protector i dont use them just for the fact of i dont like the feel of them
I use Hard-Shield Nano Coating Screen Spray on Protector (also known as Dynaflo LIQUID-ARMOR Universal Invisible Nano Tech Screen Protector) and it works great for 6 months, then you just reapply. It's really easy to apply and it comes with the best microfiber cleaning cloth I've ever found, too.
I've been using screen protector and never had problems .

Gorilla glass 3 doesnt need a screen protector. Unless you all walk around with pockets full of sand. Might I add they make the screen look horrible, they smudge and grey over. All you need is a good spigen case and you are good to go.
I use Mime USA's Ghost Tempered Glass & it works perfectly. It works with gloves on when I have the screen sensitivity on to full blast. That's the one I use & WILL ONLY use. VERY affordable & works GREAT with the S-Pen. A MUST investment if you are going to rock the sweet 5.7 inch 1080p Galaxy Note 3. :good:

You couldn't be more wrong. Everyone that's seen my phone never EVEN realize that it has a screen protector. Mine is as CLEAR as glass because it IS a piece of tempered glass. It makes Gorilla Glass 3 literally shatter proof. This is a MUST especially considering the giant 5.7 inch 1080p screen the Galaxy Note 3 has.

Gorilla Glass is scratch resistant not scratch proof, a good screen protector will not even be noticeable.
I use the Spigen Ultra Crystal and you cannot even notice it is there.
I don't think it smudges anymore than a naked screen.
hey if you want to waste your money on something useless and degrades the quality of the super amoled pixally goodness its your perogative *thumbs up
gorilla glass 3's ndr rating is effectivly 3 times more resistant to scratches than GG2. If you can scratch this screen you dont deserve to own a $700 device.
I suppose it has its uses though. Like if you ever need to sos a comercial passenger plane at 30,000 feet you should have no problems with the glare those things put off.

Accidents happen, I don't mind "wasting" a little money to protect the screen on a $800 device. Again, it's scratch resistant not scratch proof, if it was scratch proof then I wouldn't use one. To each their own I guess.

I use XtremeGuard on mine. It cost 3.99 on ebay and it has better quality than invisibleshield--IMHO. I've used it on my pebble, wife's s4, my note 2, and my note 3, and I 've been nothing but satisfied. I don't know if I can post a link to it, but just search XtremeGuard Note 3 in ebay.
*Note--no pun intended--this is a wet install protector. I prefer this because dust is less likely* Also you will have to wait about a half a day before you can effectively use the spen after your install
I find that a can of compressed air gets rid of all dust...if done properly

I disagree with your statements. Gorilla glass 1, 2,3 is nothing special. It scratches just as easy if not easier than other screens out there. I honestly believe that gorilla 3 is worse than 2. My GN3 Gorilla glass 3 scratched before i could get a screen protector on it. I did nothing out of the ordinary. GG3 is super easy to scratch and I would put apples glass as superior in scratch resistance from my experience.
I think a good quality screen protector is needed, and I agree that some do interfere with the picture quality but not all do.
I use iloome tempered glass screen protector and I also have a spigen slim armor love it no rainbow effects you can't even tell I have a screen protector on.

Hi,
I put my phone in my gf's purse in a pocket just next to her earings (which I had not seen obviously) so my z2 screen got now a very obvious scratch that I would like to remove.
I can't feel it with my finger but it's still visually very annoying.
I tried the toothpaste but didn't do anything.
Would you have any product to recommend?
Thanks for your help!
Damn, thought the screen would be more resistant than that : ( Guess it's not as solid as Gorilla Glass.
Apply a screen protector, it normally helps hiding scratches
I highly recommend grabbing a glass screen protector (Nillkin on eBay is pretty good). It'll hide the scratch *and* feel great.

I'm using Nillkin tempered glass on all my devices and it's awesome.
First thing when I'm buying new device is ordering Nillkin TG.
I still have one I applied on Z1 and it's just like it was the first day.
I'm cleaning my devices by showering them and washing them in water so that's pretty awesome protector which could take all that and still stay proudly on screen

Metal should not scratch the screen.
Sand, glass or any other kind of silicon will though.
I had Nillkin Tempered glass, it couldn't apply/align properly. One edge was not good. Got angry and broke the glass lol. I'm totally OCD about screen protectors.
I generally do not use screen protectors, because even if they are immaculate when you put them on, they quickly become less so. The cure is worse than the disease. The only way I'd use one is if I was very very concerned about resale value and did not care if my display quality was impacted.

Screen protectors vs tempered glass is a world of a difference. Tempered glass does not show signs of scratches or air bubbles unlike normal screen protectors. They also dont hamper touch sensitivity and save the screen from the various damages we might inflict otherwise..

You can try Glass4M or iTop Tempered Glass.
iTop is quite hard to find but it's verry popular in my country. The screen protector fit perfectly and cost me about $10.
ohk guys, how many of you really use a screen guard on your note 4? I am planning to use it without any kind of cover or screen guard do you think its a good idea? i really hate a sheet of plastic on this beautiful screen
I had screen guard on my Note 2 and by the 2nd year it started to come off so I just decided to take it off
It went about 8 months and it didn't have any scratches on it

Yes, I do. IMHO you should use it too. It only takes one grain of sand in your pocket to ruin your experience. I really don't mind scuffed back or sides, but screen is the most important element of a smartphone. Your choice ?
S2, S3, S4, Note 3: all used about a year each, not a screenprotector to be seen. Worked out fine. No scratches or anything to ruin the experience. I wont be molesting my Note 4 screen with a protector. If I get a scratch in a screen protector (and they do scratch more easily) then its basically the same as having a scratch on my display. Then I have to switch it every month, for what? So my screen looks great underneath my horrible protector? Meh... Also, I generally have bad experience with touch sensitivity/feel in regards to the SPen when combined with screen protectors.
Full glass protectors may be a lot better, but again: scratch it and youre walking around with a scratch on your screen wether or not its on the phonescreen or the protective screen over it.
Its like having a SWEET LOOKING toyota, but wrapping it in cardboard to keep it from scratching.
No screen protector nor case. I always had one in my previous notes. Let's see how it fares. But have one in camera lens though.
