Get rid of your screen protector, now !

So, I have been using a screen protector since I bought my S2 for a few days. Yesterday when I was drunk, I realized there are some scratches on it, so I decided to peel if off, thinking having another protector later. And to my surprise, my screen became freaking shiny and colorful and beautiful like a stone turning into a diamond. Now Im feeling like a retard, because that lame protector (in fact it's an expensive one), I suffered from an ugly change of screen color of my S2. I am sure I will never get another screen protector, this screen is too beautiful and it deserves to be seen.

Screen protector is a stupid idea anyway. Anything that can scratch a gorilla glass will easily go through a flimsy screen "protector" and scratch the glass anyway.

Im using a Zagg Invisible shield, purely through habit as I've had one on all my phones and comparing it to my GFs S2 (with no screen protector at all) there is absolutely no difference, but to each his own

That depends what screen protector you're using. The matte and the cheap screen protectors are not shiny and look dull, but if you get a good quality screen protector, you won't even notice the difference. Everyone SHOULD have a good quality screen protector because it protects the phone from scratches.

This kinda right.
I used a costly PS and still notice a little difference in the vividness of color and obviously the touch response is much more different, i mean more prominent. Using it without a PS for a month now and no, I am not applying a PS again.

My scr protector was an expensive one, it doesnt change the touch sensitivity but for God's sake the color is aweful...

Nope, it's pure logic. You can't scratch gorilla glass. You can only scratch the oleophobic cover on top. If your phones comes across something so strong that even gorilla glass will be scratched, a flimsy screen protector won't be any help.

Ive had a screen protector and all the phones ive owned, and yes you see a difference in the display but i can live with that! and what plank said if you scratch a screen protector it'll go through lol if thats the case then i wouldnt use a screen protector in the 1st place my phone is always in and out of my pocket and most the times its my keys or coins that scratch but underneath my protector the screen has NOTa single mark/scratch and ive gone through loads of protectors since i had my GS2..
Conclusion: i would highly recommend a screen protector ! ChEAp and keeps the gorilla glass free of any scratches!
The end!
Bye

I don't use a screen protector, but can see 2 scenarios where my screen can be scratched.
1. The beach with sand... Solution is to get a waterproof case/bag and have some fun too
2. letting my gf or any woman with diamond earrings to talk on the phone... Solution don't let then use my phone!!
Other than that, I even demoed to my friends the key scratch test on my screen frequently. Someone asked what would I do if a drop of super glue lands on my phone... My answer... Use a razor edge and scratch it off!

No problems here
Been using my S2 phone since it came out. No screen protection at all. No scratches of any description apparent. My screen is still 100% perfect.

Flawed logic. Gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. To scratch it, you need to use something harder than the glass. Metal is softer, so your keys are not going to do harm to the glass, it might scratch the coating only. However, sand is just as hard as glass if not harder. That will scratch through the coating and the glass in one go. Unfortunately, sand is everywhere.

If you want the screen to look good then don't use a matte screen :O

Rather have the piece of mind knowing that with a screen protector, even if it doesn't protect it that much.. it still gives some protection. Same goes for cases why have use some cases when "some" add very little protection and mostly for looks.

The fist thing to do when i get a friend's phone in my hands is to peal off the protector and pretend it was by mistake

Actually no. Gorilla glass isn't completely unbreakable or invincible to scratches, just harder to. You will get some hairline scratches but with a screen protector you won't

Screen protector: yes or no?

Have heard a lot of conflicting advice respecting Gorilla Glass. Is there any agreement on whether we should use a screen protector or not?

There are several arguments in favor of using screen protectors as there are several things capable of scratching Gorilla Glass. Most notably sand. I get the feeling here that a lot of people plan on using some combination of either a screen protector on the front and back, or a screen protector on the front with some kind of TPU case.
I personally don't like screen protectors or cases. I don't like the way screen protectors make the phone feel, and cases generally make the phone too bulky for my liking. No less, I plan on going with one of the androidified cases by CruzerLite whenever they're released -- they're kind of like the case for people who hate cases. I'm willing to make this sacrifice to save myself from an indoor drop. In New Hampshire, all bets are off when you're outdoors.

After a year my RAZR has a single hairline scratch that's only noticeable if you really look for it. Never had a screen protector on it.
That being said I have seen many people who got scratches and on gorilla glass seemingly easily.

I strongly advise a protector. The new tempered glass protectors are really nice but they aren't available for this phone yet. I was totally okay using gorilla glass 1 (original) without a protector. I used my Sensation naked for months and it never got a single scratch. Not even a nick. I sold it in perfect condition. My nexus already has a few microscratches in it though. I have seen galaxy SIIIs with scratches in them too. Gorilla glass II just sucks. It may still be resistant to cracking and shattering, but it seems to have virtually no scratch protection anymore. When I get my warranty replacement, I'm definitely putting a screen protector on.

tbh I don't like anything on my phone, and most of us gonna use it for a year or two. so why not use her fully naked :cyclops:

choose your own, and risk your own.
Why bother asking others if there is no absolute answer?

I don't plan on using one until some tempered glass ones start coming out. I hate how normal screen protectors feel.

I highly doubt this. My nexus has been subjected to the same if not better conditions as my sensation and already has scratches whereas my sensation was even dropped on concrete and not a scratch. A simple Google search will show most people find the original gorilla glass to be more scratch resistant. Samsung Galaxy s2 vs s3 is a prime example.

Using stock screen protectors permanently a bad idea?

I'm planning on using the stock front, back, and side screen protectors for my new Nexus 4 but have not seen many people doing the same. Is anyone using the stock protectors or is there harm doing so long-term? I am planning on using this with a the Exact Armour Case (sold on Amazon) too...

The front protector ist often not applied very well and has symbols für Volume an Power printed on it.
The back protector fits perfectly.
Iam only using them till they fall off^^ I dont think they will last very long.

Why would you want to use them? It's got Gorilla glass 2, so it's not like it's gonna get scratched easily. The only protection you could get is against hitting and the screen protectors can't help you there.

Pretty certain that there's no side protectors. I'm still using the stock protectors until my BSE ones arrive. Problem is they are designed to be removed easily, especially the back one, so it's actually already coming loose just because my hand grazes the removal tab.

Because it's been established that the glass still scratches easily, even though it's marketed as gorilla glass. Mine got 2 micro scratches before I decided to put a screen protector on - it's a common issue.

Gorilla Glass is quite resistant to scratches from the key or coins (in your pocket) but a simple grain of sand can make visible scratch on it! I used stock screen protectors but they started to come off after a week, so I bought Spigen Dual Ultra Crystal for my Nexy and I'm definitely satisfied with it.:victory:

Some of the phones were coming with protectors around the sides too, some weren't.

How is the friction of the finger to the screen then? Is it much worse than without using a protector?

using the stock screen protectors is probably the worst thing you can do. They're not really even screen protectors at all. They are much more flimsy and thinner then a screen protector and why would you want to keep them on when the front has the buttons printed on them and the back has the IMEI on it. If you want protection get the SGP dual protector.

I don't have any screen protector on my N7. Most people buy a case, that covers the screen too. The N7 has scratch resistant screen (not Gorilla Glass, but almost), and I think it is enough for daily use, and when you have to put it in your backpack, you can use the case. (And it's not too easy to install those screen protectors without any little bubbles, I tried )

Is that official Nexus case enough ?

A screen protector won't prevent the fragile Nexus glass from breaking if it is dropped. I use a matte screen protector since it lets my finger glide over the surface and reduces smudges and reflections. It just feels better than the bare glass. Tricky to apply but worth the effort. Mine has been on for over a month with no signs of wear.
Here's a kit with 3 protectors, case and OTG USB cable. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R0FR8332
Maybe putting the silicone case on backwards will help protect the glass from breakage during transport.
Google for the best prices on matte screen protectors. No need for an HDMI cable as there is no matching connector on the Nexus.

I have no screen protector since I like the feel of the screen as it is. After 3 months of constant use, I only have few, tiny scratches.
You decide if you like to enjoy the N7 like it is out of the box (all slim with nice glass and stuff) but with few small scratches; or you want to avoid scratches completely and have bulky covers + some plastic on the screen.

You Should!
I regret not buying one for mine, i have many nasty scratches! The Nexus 7 can easily get scratched

I just bought a Skinomi protector last week sometime. Still waiting for a few bubbles to smooth out but other than that I like it. Easy install and my fingers can still slide well on the screen. The only time it feels a little "rubbery" is when typing. Overall I would recommend.

I'm glad I'm not the only one in this boat. I have a pack of tec armor non-glossy stickers sitting here. I tried for 30 minutes one day to get one on that :
a. did not interfere with camera [not that I use it...]
b. no air bubbles
c. properly aligned.
fail.
it was basically impossible with my fingers/hands and the static electricity attraction. the thing would jump almost an inch to attach itself randomly.
if i were terribly interested I would try to build a cardboard frame or something to align such a thing properly, but that wouldn't help with bubbles or wrinkles or whatever.

I use this protector in the ultra crystal. I found it was much easier to install than Zagg and other wet install protectors. Hardest part was keeping the dust off the screen long enough and that problem was solved by installing in the bathroom after steaming the room with the shower. I prefer the peace of mind of a screen protector, but I'm more paranoid than some.

The only reason you would need a screen protector is if you plan to use the touchscreen in a Beach or construction site constantly. The only way top scratch a gorilla glass screen is to force something harder than gorilla glass on the screen.

There's a lot of people out there that prefer the feel of naked glass and say they have no scratches, personally I'm not willing to risk even the minor microscopic scratches that are only noticeable at just the right angle with the screen off, so I use protectors.

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:

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.

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.

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.
