any one with recommendation on screen protector
I'm currently using a Zagg max coverage protector that I had installed at Best Buy, and have no complaints so far. The only thing I've noticed with it is that my finger tends to get stuck when using Swype, but not often enough for it to bother me.
I don't have this phone but I don't think you need a screen protector. I haven't seen any videos on the screen durability test like they do for the iphone scratch test. But I think the screen should be sturdy enough. The screen won't be as smooth to scroll with a plastic layer. And if you accidentally get even a drop of water in the corners of the phone with the squeegee, you are screwed. Good luck.
Using an Invisible Shield on mine. This is the only phone I've ever used one on. I figured with a screen this huge I want to keep it looking nice.
You don't need you it is glass like the Iphone and hero. I have seen test's on both using key to try and scratch nothing happened. Anything that would damage the screen (scratch it) would go right through the screen protector and still damage it. As it would take a lot of force to scratch. Just a wast of money not to mention it hampers the touch screens ability to pick up your finger.
someone apparently water damaged their evo with putting on a protector. Careful. I would cover up the indicator on mine once I get it.
i have a zagg on mine and hate it. its sticky and has a "orange peel" like appearence. i ordered a hard plastic one on amazon and am waiting for it to come in the mail.
I also feel that a screen protector is unecessary...glass is very hard to scratch, and can only be scratched by something harder than it is.
Zaag one here and I think it's too sticky. It messes with my swiping. Catches my finger too much.

I used the same logic with my hero and ended up getting a few scratches just from unforseen sh!t happening. this screen is too beautiful for me to risk.
also whoever water damaged their phone while putting on a screen protector is an idiot.
I put one on for peace of mind and it works just as it did without the protector.
However, if it's like the iPhone screen, then you shouldn't need one at all. I had the same iPhone since the release date and had zero scratches as of Friday... it's last day in service!
We pre-ordered out Evo's at RS so we used out accessory credits for Zaggs and car chargers and I put them on. They do have an orange peel like look when looking at them at a angle with the screen off and reflecting off some light. But with the screen on and looking at them there is no issue with the display. They were not hard to put on either.
I'm using the "anti-glare" protector that comes in the 3-pack you get at the Sprint store for $12 (the other two are "clear"). I love it - it doesn't interfere with my user experience at all. Why on earth would you risk scratching your screen? To save $4 and 5 mins time?
Boxwave Crystal Clear screen protectors. I have a 3-pack on order (I have 2 Evo's between me and my girlfriend). We're using them "naked" so far until they arrive.
I highly recomend the Boxwave protector though, I have used them for about 6+ years on various PDA/Smartphones. I even have one for my P&S Camera.
Here is my experience:
Zagg:
Good -
Works well as protection
Hides fringer prints decently
Bad -
Blurs your screen a very small amount
Makes the surface feel like rubber
Hard to put on without getting a little dust under it
Generic hard plastic sheet:
Good -
Works well as protection
Feels very smooth, smoother than glass
Easy to put on, and normally you get 2 or 3 in case you make a mistake
Perfectly clear
Bad -
Finger print magnet, oil really builds up
You can see where the protector ends around the edges
Added glare in sunlight(small amount)
Unprotected Glass:
Good -
Feels very smooth
Easy to clean off, just rub it off on your shirt
Perfectly clear
Bad -
Medium finger print problem, but easy to clean
I feel scared to place it face down, once I get a case that recesses the face I will feel better.
Over all I decided to go with unprotected. Its the middle of the road and I feel the best over all experience.
Zagg Invisible Shield is NO GOOD.. Its almost sticky. Don't get it! I warned ya.

Agreed, the Zagg is sticky. But I deal with it so that I can protect it. I don't have a huge issue with viewing it or the orange peel look when it's off because you don't notice it when it's on. The fit is nice. On my hero, I had a really clear smooth one from ebay which was great, but was all scratched up. The zagg shouldn't even mark up which is why i'm dealing with it. Sticky, but not to the point that it pisses me off. I put it on myself relatively easily, just spray lots of that solution on it, no bubbles, no dust, 2 minute application.
Maybe the Zagg is sticky if you put it on backwards but I have ZERO complaints about mine.
I ordered a 3 pack of anti-glare/anti-fingerprint screen covers from handhelditems for 7.99 (for the 3pack). They have crazy deals on evo 4g accessories right now. I also got a car charger for like 3.99.
I bought it more for the anti-glare/anti-fingerprints than the actual screen protection.
Warning!
There is a whole thread started on water damage and most of this comes from any screen protector that requires you to spray on water... ei Zaggs
When you squeegiie the water off the screen it leaks in to the back of the phone and Sprint has been sneaky about placing water damage indicator right on the tip of the phone.. below battery.
Either cover the indicator with protector or stick to the regular screen covers..
I really like the protection that invisible shield provides but I hate the feeling of it, kind of like the skin of an apple. On the other hand, I like the feel of the anti-glare protection but I don't like that it is prone to scratches and scuffs. What screen protectors are there that you think are great?
I've had my EVO since launch without a screen protector and I don't have any scratches. All natural is the best.
Since you're asking for opinions, I'll give mine. I've had Ghost Armour on mine for the last couple of months and really like it. If my hands are moist (sweat, water, whatever), there is increased resistance, which feels weird. I suspect, however, that would be the case with most protectors out there. And who makes a habit of handling their phone with wet hands anyway? I will also note that it took at least two weeks for it to completely dry and not look kinda foggy in places. Now however, it looks great.
The one that comes with otterbox product works great. No bubbles on installation and feels smooooth, unlike invisibleshild.
Get a seideo for the front.. It's rated for the most Glassy feel out of all of them
i got one that bestbuy sells been great no troubles
+1 for ghost armor
I got the shield by zagg. My fiancée got one for her captivate and had some fart knocker at best buy put it on and its feels really rubbery and looks hazy. i got one and put it on myself it took me awhile cause of course i had to have it perfect and after it dried it feels great. you can barely notice it.
None, have had mine since launch and don't have a single scratch. And I don't exactly baby the phone either.

Steinheil AF. I like the feel of it and it really does reduce glare. My evo spends a good bit of time in a car mount where any reduction in glare is helpful.
Martin fields screen protector. Works pretty well for me. If its dirty you can wash it under the tap (seriously) and it will stick back again. Quite thick but has got a nice feel. Installation is do easy that monkey could do it. If you fail un peal it and stick it back again and again and again. (washed mine about 10 times and it still sticks like brand new). They don't use glue on it...

This one seems great but I'm alsao wondering about how it lowers the display quality because my friend has an anti-glare protector and it is noticeable that the quality is not as good as the invisible shield.
Also, the feel of the ghost armor looks similar to the invisible shield

I've tried all of them; I recommend that you get Clarivue.
Best:
Martin Fields (Best by far, no comparison, way too expensive at $27 shipped per screen protector)
Good:
Steinheil
Clarivue (Best value)
Garbage: Don't bother with these
Invisibleshield
Ghostarmor
DCMUGEN
Stealth Guards

I do prefer anti-glare, anti-fingerprints & less sweat resistance so that sounds like what I'm looking for, it still looks good on the EVO (any application issues, how long has it been on)?
Did you get it from:
http://cretouch.com/steinheil-anti-fingerprint-protection-film-p-732.html (2 for $12)
Sprint sells Custom Screen Protectors shields (Pack includes 2 regular and 1 anti-glare screen protectors) curious if anyone tried that anti-glare?
I just went from a zagg (very rubbery until a lot of use) to the one that came with my otterbox commuter. The one included is immensely more glassy with the downside of less anti glare. Either way much easier to apply then the zagg.

I got the OtterBox Black Defender Case - MOTOROLA ATRIX (TM) 4G with the belt clip and built in screen protector. I kind of liked it at first but it keeps jabbing me in the side and I wish I could just put it in my pocket but it's too think to do so while sitting down.
So I'm looking to get another case that will mostly protect my phone from scratches and a few bumps here and there. So this means I need a screen protector too. It's hard to tell how the screen protector feels and how the case fits on the phone.
What have you used or seen that you like and why?

I currently use the anti-glare screen protectors that AT&T carries in store. It takes away a little of the brilliance of the screen but I don't mind. I'm also using the Incipio Feather case but for more protection I also did have the Speck Candyshell which fit it really well and did not impede the screen protector. The only reason I returned it was because the "outer-shell" was too smooth for me, I like the rubberized feel of the Incipio.
I have the OtterBox Commuter case on my Atrix. I really like it. It not nearly as bulky as the defender case but still provides seemingly decent protection.
Do these cases keep it from seating on the laptop dock properly?
Seconding the Otterbox Commuter. The naked Atrix felt kinda slippery, the rubber sleeve peeking through the clip on shell makes it feel secure in my hand.

As far as the laptop dock, I'm not sure but with the multimedia dock I have heard that the Speck case can fit if the insert is taken out. If you use the laptop dock quite a bit I would go with the Otterbox Impact case because it would be the easiest to remove and put back on.

Yes, Otterbox cases are notorious lint magnets. It's a trade off for the protection.
Has anyone heard about "Skinomi TechSkin", "Great Shield", or "splash Masque"?
They are the ones that you can get off of Amazon.com.
I also have the Incipio feather case, works great so far, and is easier for me to hold on to. I work in a warehouse and from handling boxes all the time its hard for me to keep a decent hold on smooth plastic unless I try to crush it.
As far as a screen protector goes, I have not seen a need for one yet. I forgot I had my keys in my pocket when I put the phone in and didn't get any scratches.

Yea, I feel th same way. I usually take such good care of my phones that I never even get scratches on the screen protector but knowing my luck if I ever tried without one something terrible would happen.
Got the Otterbox Defender for mine. I'll happily have a thicker phone for the added protection.
body glove case
Body glove case seems to be the best fit for the atrix...for me, i.e slim, feels sturdy in hand and removes easily to allow fit with other moto accessories.
Just got the Incipio case and it's great so far. I also have a SGP ultra clear screen protector.
This should be in the accessories forum.
I like to use my phones naked!
Even if they get damage.
In fact, I happen to dislike very much how those protectors make the phone larger in the pocket.
If you know of anything for the Atrix which doesn't make it bigger please let me know.
Gold luck guys.
I also have the Otterbox Commuter case and no screen protector since the display is made out of Gorilla Glass.
Not using a screen protector. Just a bodyglove tpu case. Love it.

Using the skinomi body skin .. it's awesome. applying the back part was a little challenging but i got it down.. I failed on my screen though because I did it in low light.. so I didn't notice i still had some lint on the screen so you can see a little when it's bright.

Hi,
I have had my Acer A500 for a couple of weeks and now the sunshine has appeared, and when i am outside I have major problems seeing my screen.
Is there any thing I can use to counteract this?
I have searched the forums and there seems to be answrs for other tablets, dont really know if the same answers will work for me.
Any help will be greatfully received
there are some anti-glare screen protectors for sale on ebay. I have not tried any of those yet because shipping to Mexico is kind of painful, but looks promising.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Anti-Glare-Scre...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2a12766180
Here is my post from another thread on the same topic:
I picked up an anti-glare one made for the xoom from handhelditems.com (store brand). Cost <$7 shipped. Had to cut a hole for the camera and trim it a little, but for the price, I am happy.
Pixelation is noticable, but you get used to it. Haven't had to wipe fingerprints since.
A tip for install: Make sure it is CLEAN first (obvious), but if a little something gets under,peel it back up and use scotch tape to get it off the sticky. Using this trick, my protector went on perfect.

When i am outside, i turn screen brightness from auto to manual,full brightness. Itdoes not eliminate the problem but it is greatly reduced.

This is a great product. The screen protector fits great, and there is a cutout for the camera. The screen protector reduces glare and fingerprint smudges alot.
I also found it easy to install, and the best thing was that I was able to salvage the install when I initially installed it crooked.
I normally use SGP protectors, but if you jack up one of those and try to peel it back to fix it, you might as well throw it away.
With this i just used scotch tape to peel it back, and reapplied. No bubbles or dust particles. It looks great and it gives the tab a very nice smooth feel.

I am also another happy camper with that. I did not like the feeling of the original screen (it did not glide well?), with the protector it is a lot better. Althoug it reduces the screen sharpness a bit, which is true for all anti-glare protectors.

I just installed the screen protector from POSRUS (Available on Amazon.com). Works great to kill the glare. The Zagg protector is not really anti-glare.

I have this one too and it really is a great product, except for a little pixelation that I'm not used to yet...
There's another great brand where I often buy screen protectors from: www.brando.com.
I agree with the rest, the POSRus protector is very nice. It's elimated probably 85% of the glare and made the surface a little nicer on the fingertips, they seem to glide across it better. Another good thing is that it goes in dry, some of the others I saw on amazon were like window tint, requiring soapy water on the screen. These are much more forgiving when applying. Just be diligent in getting -all- the dust and hair off the screen right before you put it on and only peel back as much off the red tab layer as you need while applying from corner to corner.
Hiya guys,
I was just wondering if anyone else has either used xoskins or xtreme guard protectors and been left feeling disappointed? I originally had an SGP ultra on my nexus 4 but I was feeling a little annoyed that it didn't cover the full screen. Other than that they're perfect, nice screen hardness difficult to scratch and leave the screen looking amazing. I really thought the xoskins one would be perfect so I paid the price and ordered (shipped from US to UK).
Finally arrived, installed straight away. Let me just say I've fitted lots of screen protectors before to various phones and I'm pretty good at it. So much so friends and family ask me to do theirs for them. Still, the xoskins one felt a little fiddly. The solution they provide makes it very slippy, so using the squigy afterwards made it squirm around which was annoying. Also, even though both sides were wet the squigy still left slight burns after only 3-4 swipes. It took a full 48 hours for it to dry.
The cut on the protector was good, and it was nice and clear. It seemed to leave a slight orange peel effect across the screen though, and I had 4-5 thin rainbow type lines/scratches about 1cm long on the one side which were clearly on the underside of the protector (all perfectly straight and all facing down perfectly so I'm thinking manufacturing fault?). The feel of the protector was frankly awful. It flexes under finger and restricted swiping somewhat. Worst of all, any slight knock leaves imprints. I tested it by lightly rubbing my nail across it, it left a clear mark that was there for 2-3 days! It flexes way more than I'd like, I can't see it providing much protection from knocks tbh. Granted I wouldn't do this in normal usage but any other knocks left imprints too.
So I removed it, and thought I'd try the xtreme guard. My god, I've never used such a rubbish protector. The cut is dubious at best, the screen clearly looks worse when its on and it suffers from the same indentations and flexing as the xoskins ones.
Maybe I've been spoilt by the SGP ones (I still have the back protector SGP skin on there as its a perfect fit as its flat) or maybe all wet application protectors are like this to be more flexible for the curved glass?
Either way I've ordered another set of SGP protectors and I'll put up with the exposed edges. I'm sure there's people out there that are happy with their protectors, but I just wanted to share my experiences.
Wet applied screen protector can never compete with the dry one..even the $1 junk one.
I took off my Xtremeguard and using the junk that came with my nillkin case..which is still much clearer than the xtremeguard.
But I keep the back of xtreme since it make it less slippery.
Glad its not just me who found this then I can see how having a *stickier* back protector could be beneficial. The SGP one I have is still rather slippy. Hoping it will help strengthen the back though in case it has any accidents The SGP ones saved my iPhone 4 before. One was a drop from my ear onto a wooden floor!
It's nice to read that I am not the only one who dislike the Xtreme guard screen protectors.
I just cant believe how sticky it feels and how much it gets scratches and dents.
I've got a fillkin flip case comming my way as well so I think I'm also going to replace the front xtreme guard screen protecotr with the nillkin one.
One thing to keep in mind for all wet protectors is that when you need to push out the bubbles, never used a squeegee. It is very difficult to avoid burns on the surface with a squeegee. Instead wet your finger tips and push the bubbles out with your finger. Much easier and doesn't leave burn marks.
If you absolutely need to use a squeegee, the paper one provided by SGP (ironically) is pretty good for wet protectors. Use the corner as much as possible and don't push too hard.
I myself prefer dry protectors as well but there are indeed some good things about wet ones. They are very scratch resistant, provide more grip, and doesn't show finger prints as much.
The xo skin i have is trash the front has so many random Knicks and bubbles and stuff the back does too but I'm going to leave that on and just use these 3 for $5 screen protectors from amazon until the glass protector comes out with reviews

I am using the XG and granted it has it's orange peel look to it, but I don't mind it. The look reminds me that I have a sp on and I can safely put the phone in my Seidio holster without looking. LOL.
Yes, the screen looks way better with a dry sp on, but I am happy with the cutouts and fitment. And plus doesn't affect the Diztronic Ultra hard case at all when taking off or putting on. Which is good IMO.
Am I 100% happy? No, I say maybe 96%. But for the price of 3 front and backs for 6 bux. I can't really complain too much.
Xtreme Guard are excellent. You just need to take your time applying it and pushing out the bubbles. Minimal orange peel and the protection is perfect around the curved edges.
After having mine on for nearly a week i'd still disagree. I have no bubbles or marks on the xg but it does have the black spots issue I've read about which suck! The cuts off on mine everything is aligned perfectly with screen edges but 1/4 of the camera lens is covered. Honestly its not how I fitted it. The feel is also pretty bad. I genuinely cannot wait until I get my new SGP ones.
Xoskins replied to my email about 4-5 days after I showed photos of the defects. They are sending me out a new protector at least. Will probably sell it on eBay to claw back some cash.
I'm not going to bother emailing xg as they're cheap and tbh I won't be going near their protectors again!

The problem I had with XO Skins was that the protector for the back of my n4 had a little pin hole in it! Luckily they are replacing it free of charge, including shipping! Which is good cause I'm in the UK and did not want to pay to send it back to the US.
The protector for the screen however has been brilliant, I've had it for about two weeks on there and the sort of rubbery feeling goes away and it feels very similar to the glass on touch. If a little more squishy. It does not drag against my finger anymore.
As for bumps leaving marks, I've noticed that, but they always go away within about thirty seconds.
All the bubbles have disappeared on my screen and its very clear.
I definitely agree with the OP about the application process though, the solution makes it very slippery, which is good when trying to position the skin. But when using the squeegee to push out the air bubbles and liquid the skin moved everywhere. After that though, it dried family quickly, did leave it overnight anyway.
I'd say I'm pretty pleased with my XO Skins purchase.

Why not? I'm talking about the front facing camera not on the rear. My SGP ones arrived this morning so the xg one was ripped off almost straight away so unfortunately I can't take you a photo to show you.
The cut was definitely off, there was some extra material right in the dip of the cut out that goes around the lens as if it hadn't been cut cleanly. The dip wasn't rounded like it should of been. Maybe I just got a bad one in this respect, but it shows there is very little quality control. Especially as mine also suffered from the same black spots I've seen elsewhere.
The bottom of the protector was literally up against the chrome rim, I couldn't of positioned it any lower so it wasn't due to bad positioning. It was just poorly made.
I've just ordered a Nillkin case which will hopefully help protect the bits of glass the SGP ones miss. The feel and screen clarity is so much nicer!
Well, xoskins replacement arrived today. It had been put into an envelope that has a bright blue lining and the edges of the protector now have a lovely blue haze. Great! It didn't even have a piece of card in to stop bending etc. so lucky it survived at all.
Not even worth trying to sell it, If I purchased one off ebay myself and it had this haze I'd be gutted. Really disappointed with them.
I did notice they seem to of changed the design too. My previous xoskins one had a U shaped cut out for both the front camera and the proximity sensor. This new replacement has O shaped holes for both so that there is something actually protecting the top edge all the way along.
That sounds like your first one was a case fit and your new one is a full skin. When I got a replacement it came sealed in a baggy, crazy. I would hit them up again.

The first one I had definitely went right up to the chrome edges on every part other than the top by the proximity sensor and camera where there was a U shape.
I'll drop them another email and see what happens. They can only say no.
Well, what can I say? I'm using the xg for the front and for the back of my nexus 4 and I'm very pleased with it. I have them on for about 2 weeks now and everything is well..
The cut of the xg protector is one of the best out there. In my past galaxy nexus I used a clear screen protector and every 2 months I had to change it with a new one because of the dust that got under it... Causing to many bubbles.
That's not the case with the xg protector. This thing is not going anywhere.. And I also use it with the official LG bumper case with no problems..
I'll try to upload some pictures for you to see.. The only disadvantage is that the feel of the xg protector is worst from other clear screen protectors, using the dry install method.

I agree. You must have a defective one. My second set has all the correct cutouts. Here's my with the XDA case with XG front and rear protector on. The link is to the front.
