Does the screen need to be protected or does it really stand up to the abuse the youtube video shows?
Unless you want to test on your own =)
I had the hd2 and got a nasty scratch across it. So honestly for the $5 cost of a screen protector I don't think it hurts to use one

this. the screen is a beast honestly. I'm actually having second thoughts about buying cases for it (one leather, one silicone gel). it's so light and thin it belongs in a pocket and I wouldn't put anything else in that pocket (change, keys, etc). In my opinion, for myself, I would never ever cover it up with a film and diminish the clarity, brightness, or touch sensitivity, however minuscule the difference might be my two pennies
ive tried to scratch it with keys and it wont happen same with a pocket knife.
this thing is TOUGH
I actually use the one that came with the Phone. U know, the one on the phone when it ships. It works great. I wash them in water, and shake most water off. I lay it on the phone with some water still on there. Not a lot duh, but enough to moist most of the sheet. I then use my credit card to flatten it nicely. It's great. And free. Oh, i also cut off the top right tab.
personally, I like riding bareback when it comes to phones if you're careful it's totally worth it.
99.9875% of the time the screen protector isn't necessary but then there's that ONE little thing that puts a scratch across the middle of the screen and it bugs me for the rest of the time I own the phone. That's why I use screen protectors.

Badass. I had to cut mine to fit inside of the slight chrome rim but totally worth the effort. I had the tmobile one on there and it looked like sh*t. Really degraded the screen quality IMO. Don't know why mine was over sized but it's all good now.
The video is in Japanese, but you'll figure it out.
First test...galaxy s in a bag with keys, screws, random metal, etc.
Second Text....nail / screw to the screen directly
Third Test...razor blade to the screen directly
Then they do several drop test.
I had a BestSkinEver protector on my G1 and my fingers didnt glide very well on the touchscreen. The Vibrant screen is very nice, fingers glide just great for Swype. Worried about putting a protector on it and losing this PLUS screen awesomeness.
For those who put a protector on, how does it feel/look?

I am now without a protector. I tried many times to get the finger print smudge off the stock shield but it just wouldn't come off. (on the sticky side, that touches the glass) I am gong to get the clearfreak.
What needs to be protected is that metal edge. I dropped my phone ONE TIME on concrete from KNEE LEVEL and now all four corners of the metal have ding in them. Under that cheap layer of gunmetal coloring is Chrome, wouldn't be surprised if the gunmetal just wears off from everyday use eventually.
On another note the screen and battery cover were 100 percent undamaged. Tough plastic surrounded by cheap metal, if the plastic is so fancy and strong, why didn't they just make the whole outer shell out of it? Geniuses.

That video was PAINFUL TO WATCH!!!! Good to know that our phone is pretty damn scratch resistance other than being struck by a direct blade attack as shown in the video. The guy kept commenting on how strong the Glass is. In the mix bag test, he says that the glass is clear. The pastic areas were scratched but the glass was okay he says. Btw, it's Korean.
edit : that's so awesome, they get Terrestrial DMB to stream TV whoa. guess they had this since 2000 lol
Not sure if anyone has noticed this yet, but I noticed when cleaning my transformer that the capacitive screen still works even through thick tissues, so if you've just cleaned your screen and don't want to get greasy pawprints all over it again, wrap a tissue around your finger, and prod away!
I'm just gonna buy a matte screen protector, i ordered one that's made for the galaxy 10.1, i am sure it wont fit perfect, but it should at least cover the viewable/touchable area.

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.
Hey guys,
So I've had the Nexus 4 for around two weeks now and it's too well designed of a device for me to resort to using screen protectors although I will be getting a thin case soon since it is quite slippery. I was just wondering what some of you do in order to maintain the condition of the device. I've simply been using a dry microfiber cloth - usually used on my eyeglasses - and rubbing gently until all the smudges are gone. This keeps it quite clean for 3-4 days but I don't know if that period will shorten with prolonged use. Any and all tips are appreciated, thanks in advance!
I just usually rub it on my shirt. Takes the smudges off in one wipe

After I wash/dry my hands I use the edge of my palm, the coating is great so I don't even have to do that that often.
Sounds like a pack of microfiber cloths should do just fine for the future then! Thanks guys, still welcoming other suggestions

american apparel t-shirts work surprisingly well. it makes the phone extra shiny!
well it works just like a microfiber cloth.
any sunglasses pouch works well too!
I use optical wipes on my phones, gets rid of any finger grease and doesn't leave streaks.
I use the cloth that came with the Nillkin case. Works way better than a microfiber one that came with my girls mini laptop.. :/

Not fair
He guys im new and i had a question about keeping my nexus 4 clean. So when i recieved my nexus 4 i had it naked without a screen protector or case, then i decided to buy a full body xtremeguard screen protector, which was 6 dollars. They arrived and i tried putting them on the next day. They were wet installation which i didnt really like. I had to use a bowl of handsoap and water. So I installed them and tried to accelerate the drying process a little by using a blow dryer, but guess what, it really made the beautiful screen look all ugly and disoriented so i took them off and decided to keep it the way. and applied a little more water to the glass to get all the soapy residue off and dried it off a little more. The next day I noticed that when i held it in sunlight I noticed this white stuff inside the crevices in between the glass and the edges of the phone. SO whats bothering me is that i think its dried soap in there and blow drying it only made it worse. But wheat really gets me ticked off is that i wanted to keep my phone perfect and clean but that stuff is still in there and i dont know how to get it out. Its just killing me. Ive tried water, q tips, even scraping it out with printer paper but no luck. Can anyone give me ideas or help plz?? thx. IM sorry if this a very long post
Should have left the XtremeGuard on there, it takes a few days for them to dry properly and until they do, they look like a disaster.
As for the left overs, maybe a fingernail will be able to scrape it out?

Fingernail is thicker than paper. If he can't get it out with paper....Try using a needle I guess?
Oh nope I already tried that when my nails were longer and now there even more useless ha. Its too deep in there. But I guess I'll keep searching though. Any type of liquid I could use to dissolve it or something?

Not related to the above posts as such but more the actual thread title, a pair of jeans works very well. Wiping the phone on my knees while wearing jeans gets rid of everything, and no smears either. Looks like new, much better than T-Shirts.

Compressed air, but be careful not to blow it to closely.
As far as cleaning the screen itself, I use monster LCD/plasma TV cleaner I got at best buy. Its a little pricy but I've had it for 3 years and works wonders on all my phones, even on screen protectors.
I do not have any advice as far as what to do what the residue in the screen your talking about.
I have a screen protector on the screen and have been thinking about removing it lately. I had a convo with my neighbor who never uses a protector on his phones. He never has gotten a huge scratch on gorilla glass, and to be honest I rarely ever change my protector and prob sacrifice more clear screen using one vs not...

Get yourself a small camera lens puffer (like a rocket). Great for getting dust and lint out of nooks and crannys, but not enough force to damage anything nor any chemical agents (like in canned air).
my ear piece and mic is a bit dirty, I don't think air will get it out. can you use alcohol or something similar??

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?

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.
