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.

Cuts down on glare and finger prints and the screen quality is still ok.

Zagg invisible shield. It helps remarkably with fingerprints and glare. No impact on touchscreen. 20 bucks at their online store. Got it in 2 days.

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 else super OCD about getting any scratches whatsoever on their phone? especially when you order a case and it takes awhile to arrive!
No.i just left it in the box until case arrived.
Nope, I'm running naked, and don't plan on getting a case. Scratches happen.
As I always say to other Harley Davidson owners that I see with pristine scratch free clean bikes, "while your busy polishing and washing, I'm riding!"
Its just a phone, use it enjoy it, its bound to get scratches, dings, cracks etc.
I've been paranoid as sh!t using this phone naked while waiting for my case.
Already dropped it once, luckily it landed on corner and bounced safely, not a scratch yet.
But damn this thing is so sexy, can't take my eyes of it
Man this phone is so big it is ridiculously easy to drop. Better safe than sorry. Get a case.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Out of the like 11 years I have had phones I have only dropped them twice. Once my Omnia and once my OG Droid. Neither got anything more than a tiny scratch, both fell on pavement. I'm pretty good about not dropping them. They're my little electronic children!
With this phone I do have a case in the mail, and I'll be ordering a screen protector soon, if not just go into Best Buy when I get it and get one there.
My case won't arrive for another week along with the screen protectors. Going on a trip this week and am kinda worried right now.

I bought a case that came with a screen protector before I got my phone. *Cheap case* .. I will get something like the trident kraken or the otterbox defender when those start to come out.
Got some cheap silicon case and a screen protector until the otterbox commuter case is available for it.

Wasn't too uneasy using it for 2 days naked (although it did suffer a 3 foot drop - on carpet), but now I'm rocking a diztronic case + screen protector and everything's going smooth. Not so keen on getting an otterbox as that would be overkill for me.

I've only had my Nexus 4 just over a week & now noticed the Oleophobic Coating is starting to wear in the middle of the screen were it's been rubbing in my pocket.
Past phones i had with this coating has never had this problem upto a year after purchase.
I'm not really keen on screen protectors, but it looks like the Nexus 4 needs one just to protect the coating.
Im now considering RMA it, and the next Nexus i get stick a screen protector on right out of the box.
So has anybody else suffered this problem were the coating starting to come away?

I have mine now for about 4 months, i use no screen protector and no wear off noticable anywhere on the screen.
AW: [Q] Oleophobic Coating doesn't last :(
Have mine since January. Still has its coating and I never use a screen protector.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4
it should last between 4-6 months, it will wear alot faster rubbing on materials or if you clean the screen often, you can buy those drops to restore a coat ontop.
I was wondering, what do you guys think? I just got mine and I've left the factory cover on for now. Do you think this is a problem and I should invest in protectors, or should I just use it? Where could i purchase these drops your talking about?
-Thanks
You could replace it.........Ifixit

That isn`t right Had mine for 4 months now and nothing of the oleophobic layer is wearing off anywhere.
I don't think I have had a phone it had ever worn off.. Heck I still have phones all the way from about 5 years ago.
If it's wearing off I would contact Google about the defect

It seems a few others have suffered the same problem as me with the coating starting to rub off in places.
I remember iphones & ipads suffered the same problem to, not sure if it still effects the iphone 5
In the past I've had GS1, HTC Sensation, GS2 & GS3 none of these ever had a problem with the coating wearing, also have a Nokia Lumia 800 & same goes for this coating still just as good as the day i bought it.
Maybe it's somekind of manufacturing fault with a few Nexus 4's, were they not applied the coating properly.... who knows.
Eitherway think next week I'm gonna return it, and the next one i get hopefully without any other problems i'm going to put a screen protector on it right out of the box.
Em. How do you know it's wearing off?

Thanks for passing it on. Got 5 screen protectors for a few different phones for $3.49 shipped.
I got this on a promotion a while back. Personally I didn't like it and replaced it already. This is a wet apply screen protector and it has a very gummy, soft feeling to it. Fit was OK and it seemed to protect well, but I couldn't stand the gummy feeling of it. I bought a cheapo pack of dry ones off Amazon instead.

I saw this sale listed on slickdeals the other day, and as soon as I saw they were applied wet, I passed. I bought a Zagg Invisible Shield once when it was the only thing available locally that would fit the phone I needed it for, and I'll never get another wet-apply screen protector again.

I used it before. Personally I have no problem installing the screen protector. But I just don't like the tacky feeling of the surface.
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk 2
I bought several a few months ago when they were 80% off. Not bad, especially for the price. It was very easy to install and after a couple days the "tacky" feel went away and was very smooth... Definitely not up to par with the higher end screen pros but at a small fraction of the price, to me, is a very good deal.
I would recommend them at the greatly discounted price, they get the job done and they are extremely easy to install perfectly.
AT&T Moto X rocking rooted 4.4
I already had a screen protector that I really like (the Power Support one from Motorola site), but I ordered one of the Xtreme Guard back side protectors. It was extremely easy to install, looks great, and adds just a little grip to the phone, which was more slippery than I would have liked. For 50% off (the deal at the time I ordered), this was definitely worth it.
Much deal. Very protection.
If you want a higher quality screen protector without that sticky feel I strongly recommend Skinomi over these. Still pretty cheap. On sale for $9 on Amazon.

I use Fosmon screen protector and am satisfied. It's quite resistant to scratches, compared to some other films I have used in the past.
Xtreme Guard is ok, I actually like the wet installation method because it guarantees there will be no bubbles. I just don't like its tackiness which doesn't go away with time. Plus it's a finger print attractant, and sometimes it displays rainbow patterns when viewed from a certain angle.
Make sure you poke out the hole for the mic at the bottom of the protector. I did not the first time & no one could hear me.

Maybe. My RAZR one was flawless. Tiny bit tacky but overall very smooth, no bubbles, no orange peel, no rainbow.
My nexus 7, however, had 3 attempts and they're all too sticky. One had serious orange peel effect too and another had permanent bubbles after just 2nd attempt. But worst is the stickiness. You can literally hear your fingers squeeking across the screen.
Ps: with Canadian shipping, it's $22+. MimeUSA is $24 + $5 shipping. Totally worth it.
Pps: I'm using XtremeGuard now on my nexus. It isn't perfect but a whole lot smoother.

Hi Guys,
So i bought a Tech 21 evo frame for my edge but the phone feels so nice and looks so stunning without a case, is anyone rocking It naked?
(Meaning the phone itself lol)
I have tried, but there is nowhere to put the phone when your not using it, plus it can get pretty cold sometimes.
The lateral grip is so bad (slippery, narrow) that I think it's guaranteed you will drop the phone if used without any case.
I'm currently using it without case and will go on that way, I'll most likely just get a skin for the back to avoid scratches and get slightly better grip.

Using naked with a ScreenKnight protector on it. I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid for it but it makes it too bulky....
Kinda worried about dropping it though, especially after paying so much for it.
Going to be using an otter box symmetry once my zagg screen protector dries up.
Bought a cheap Best Buy store brand clear gel case for it, adds grip but keeps the look of the phone. No screen protector until a glass version.
Naked for me, I do what to get a screen protector for the front though. Just worried about scratches causing issue's when using the vr.
Seems a shame that a manufacturer spends so much time perfecting the design to look and feel this good when the majority of people just stick a case and screen protector on.
Obviously I know it's an expensive and great device to own and we don't wanna risk scratching or smashing it.
Just saying...
I like to live life on the "edge." No case or screen/back protector for me. Ran for 14 months with a naked Note 4 and only dropped it twice with minimal bezel damage. The trick is to have no friends and stay in your house/office all the time...

I do see one benefit of a case though...
True Story;
Woke up on day two with my new Galaxy S7 Edge and grabbed it off my nightstand in the dark bedroom to start my morning routine. I am embarrassed to admit that I sat there for the better part of 30 seconds trying to turn the screen on only to find that I was holding the phone upside down and it was illuminating my palm. The phone is curved nearly the same on the front and back and the glass on both sides really confuses the senses. I doubt I will do it again but I laughed so hard at myself.
It is a beautiful and well curved phone that shouldn't be hidden. For the same price as an Otterbox Defender you can get a year of SquareTrade Insurance and let them handle the worrying. Thankfully I don't see myself filing a claim for a toilet drop like with my Note 3 since this one's water proof; just as long as I fish it out before 30 minutes.
Yes, but I will purchase insurance.
