Weird, I have my Zagg on and it looks fine. Unless of course your talking about when the screen is off.
I'm using an XtremeGuard which I got off eBay for $2.50. It is wonderful!! It had bubbles and stuff when the screen was off when I first put it on, but EVERYTHING cleared up within 2-3 days. I used a mild soapy water to put it on, so it was kinda "rainbow" looking when the screen was lit up, but all of that has since dried up. The screen is crystal clear both on and off. If you didn't know there was a screen protector on there, you would see it. You can tell by touching it, it feels a little more grippy, which I actually like. Also it hasn't intefered with the performance of the touchscreen as well, I'm 100% satisfied with it.

Mine is still as naked as the day I bought it. Mint condition, too.

Mine looked terrible at first too, but after about a day, I guess the liquid fully dried and it didn't look cloudy anymore.
Bought a 3-pack from a Sprint store.
Don't use the anti-glare one. It significantly lowers the image quality.
It's akin games which use the film grain effect, except here you'd want the clarity instead of fancy effects.
Thank you all for your responses, I really appreciate it. I guess it only looks bad because I got a few scratches on the screen protector itself but I guess that's why you buy them in the first place. I might call to get a replacement if it gets any worse, these have a lifetime warranty.

That is exactly the reason I don't use a screen protector. They are made out of plastic and will scratch easily. The glass that is covering the LCD is made out of glass and VERY difficult to scratch. Seems like a waste of money to me. I had 3 iPhones and never had a scratch in the glass.
Did not work for me
I bought an invisi shield Saturday and they put it on my phone, I have had problems typing with it. I even tried to recalibrate the typing but it was not even able to type the first letter. Therefore, I took the front shield off and i am able to type with no problem now. Sucks.. maybe they put it on wrong because my wife's phone is working fine with it on. Life time warranty on it so Im going to take it back and have them try it again.

How is the fit on that screen protector? Does it fit exactly all the way around? Is there a space around the edges?
Thanks!
I just got a screen protector put on mine (first time ever having one on) and now it screws up my swyping in... swype... it confuses it... messed with settings and everything.... pain in the...
+1 for Anti-Glare.
I know most people do not like them because they "reduce" the colors or quality of the screen, but I like the fake that it provides a smooth surface and doesn't leave any fingerprints compared to Crystal-Clear screen protectors
I got the Zagg (actually I am on the second one, as the first came off in my pocket and got covered with lint).
I should say that Zagg is great, they sent me a new one with no questions asked and even waived the shipping, since the replacement was requested so quickly after purchase.
In any case, I am now second guessing my decision after viewing a youtube video on the scratch resistance of the screen.
Just go to youtube and search for "HTC EVO screen test". (sorry, as a new user I am unable to post the link).
Here's the link. Pretty impressive.

I've used all kinds of screen protectors for all my devices until the ZuneHD, which is supposed to have Corning Gorilla Glass, supposedly super scratch resistant. Long story short, i pulled it out of my pocket where it was by itself and it had a nice fat scratch on the surface. Brought it back to Best Buy, got another one, and swearing to never trust any claims to scratch resistance.
Using a clairvue clear on my Evo 4g, and clairvue antiglare on a tp2, and a martin fields on a tp1, all 3 are well protected and i've never been happier.
I would like to keep on the screen the Plastic Protector that comes with the XOOM from factory while I get the Screen Protector, is it possible to use it with it ?, or I have to remove it ?, thanks
Ditch the screen protector, recommend the Motorola Case

Not sure if you can, I yanked mine off so fast, it was like I was 5 again again on Xmass morning. I have never used screen protectors on anything and frankly I have never got a scratch, I think they are huge ripoffs. The screen on the Xoom is very tough gorilla glass.
I WOULD recommend the Motorola case that snaps around it, some people complain that you can't charge it with it closed, but that is very minor. Otherwise it's a good case. You will want a case not only to protect against droppage but to protect the screen and make it overall less slippery when you carry it (often under your arm). It also kind of Hides it, so to most people it just looks like a little black notepad, which keeps a lot of people from asking what it is.
Dan
you can use it. I kept mine on for a while yesterday until I was ready to install my screen protector. Only downside is it feels real gritty but it works fine

That is the reason I bought InvisibleShield, the same reason I got it for my phone. It helps to reduce glare and fingerprints.
I kept all the plastic on mine for about five days until my skinomi came. I didn't want a single scratch on my baby while i waited for the full carbon fiber/ screen protector to arrive! Worked fine with plastic. Edges started to peel back after a couple days, that's it.
I've had mine on since day one. Figure when it starts to come off I'll just take it off and do without. Not worried about scratches, just seemed like it'd allow me to be lazy about cleaning for a while if I kept it on over the screen.

It won't act as a screen protect as much as a figure protector lol.
I left mine on for two days till I got a real screen protector, it will work for smudges but ID be a little careful about scratches. It's a good idea though so you don't have to clean the screen before you put the real protector on

I'm sure you know most techies (and clumsy people?) like keeping their gadgets as perfect as they can. If that means covering it in damage-resistant plastic, then why not? I've never been one for screen protectors... but I definitely see the point. Full body protectors also seem very useful. You can bump into things, drop your device on the ground, put it in bags full of other stuff, throw it around (not horribly, of course) and still not have to worry about damage.
Its much better than letting that one little scratch you tried so hard to avoid get on your device. Unless you just don't care. However, after paying 100+ dollars I would surely care. Can't have expensive things that look like trash.
My original plastic is still on the face, after 5 days of use I finally took the other plastic off.
I'm having a real hard time deciding whether to put a screen protector on this thing or not. For the first time in a decade of using the stupid things I think I'm going to try going without one. I'll be heartbroken if I end up with a gash though. This is my first Gorilla Glass product so it's a foreign concept to me.

gorilla glass scratscratches surprizingly easy! And I never used to care about screen orotectors and stuff until I started reselling my gadgets on eBay. I usually get my tech on sale and end up getting same as I paid for it back with a well preserved gadget and a good listing. Plan on doing the same with my 25% off xoom in a couple months or year when the next google experience tablet is released...

Yep, same here but I guess I've developed a different kind of "analness" eg, instead of keeping the plastic on the leather couches, I clean and condition them every 3mos (with Lexol).
Instead of putting a screen protector on my Evo, it always flies solo in my pocket everywhere we go (keys & nicknacks go in the other) and slide it in with the screen facing my thigh
Not sure I can fit the Xoom in my pocket but it'll stay in the safety of the home most of its life.

that's a special post for people like the OP. I wrote it back in may of 2009.
Friend recommended this to me, '303 Aerospace Protectant' works like a charm at keeping fingerprints off the screen & if you do get any it's really easy to wipe them off. I had tried RainX & it worked, but not really well. Also as a side note you can use this stuff on just about anything ! My car looks like new again inside & out. Even tires. At any rate give it a try. I'm done with screen protectors.

I have some of this in my trailer. I'll have to give it a try. Do you spray it onto a towel and wipe it on the screen?
I just use a paper towel to put on & a micro-fiber cloth to wipe off/polish. My tablet is still holding up fine where as my phone with the RainX isn't, so put the 303 on it tonight. I'm sure your going to be happy with it, let me know & no I'm not in any way shape or form involved with the company I just love the stuff.
So lets say someone takes a key and slides it across your screen? Does it protect it then? (No flame intended... I'm trying to wiegh the pros and cons of this stuff compared to the ****e screen protector I got off amazon free with a case.) The screen protector I have now picks up scratches like a scratching post for an animal... but the screen underneath is most likely pristine.
Jeez ! Do you know the difference between Protectant and Protector ?
Hmm made me curious, saw it on ebay also.
Dit you tape-off the front-camera or microphone? I have the later model with mic between glass and alu.

If someone did that to my A500, I'd spray the person in the face with 303 Aerospace Protectant. But seriously, no screen protectors for me. I may try this stuff.
No, I just put it on carefully Also found two things if you put it on wipe off & let set overnight it seems to work better. I still haven't done a second coat yet but have read that works better I don't know. All I know as I said mine is still holding up. Just use a micro fiber cloth to touch it up occasionally.
I'm looking for a screen protector for my S4. Given my history with them, I'm trying to find a 'Protector for Dummies' brand. Any suggestions?

There are several great brands out there, I've had good experiences with Zagg, Skinomi, and Armorsuit Military Shield. Though the latter of the three is a bit more "stretchy" than the others (from what I remember). Another brand that has felt most like not having a screen protector on at all was REALOOK, I had their Crystal Clear protector on my GS2 and really liked the way it felt and looked. You couldn't tell there was a screen protector on the thing. I did find it to scratch though. I've had great experiences with their Customer Service too, I had a little "glue booger" on the sticky side and when I contacted them about it, they sent me another two pack for free. It also kept me from breaking my wife's screen. I chunked a door stop (on with a screen on one end) onto our bed, not knowing her phone was there. It landed screw side directly onto her phone's screen, and it sounded HORRIBLE. The screen protector received a little hold poked in it, but the screen itself was perfectly fine, not a scratch. Now, the phone would have likely been just as protected with ANY of the ones I mentioned, the realook just so happened to be the one I assaulted this time. Having said all that, I decided to try Armorsuit again on the GS4, and I am mostly pleased... I can tell it has a screen protector on it, but it doesn't really bother me that much.
Realook is the only one that I mentioned that is not a wet application protector, so there is less "forgiveness" in getting it on straight. Both wet and dry applications have their pluses and minuses. But, if you want something that is more forgiving in the installation process, you would likely want to go with one of the wet application screen protectors.
Good luck!

Unfortunately, realook ONLY has dry installation, the other brands I mentioned are the wet applications, and I believe all the others have a lifetime warranty if I'm not mistaken.
You can't go wrong with any of them, but I will say that the armorsuit protector doesn't feel as much like glass as the realook did. It is ALMOST "tacky" feeling, but not quite... it's hard to describe.

Spigen Glas TR Slim.
spigen.com
It is a tempered glass SP. It protects your screen from cracking and shattering as well as scratches. It is a dry install but super easy. Even easier if you have painters tape to make a hinge to place it down from the side.
I also suggest grabbing the aluminum home key buttons. It comes with 3. Red, black and silver. They raise the home button a bit to make pressing it easier because of the screen protector.
This is a bit expensive, but completely worth every penny.

I contemplated removing the factory screen protector for the last month as I hate how my fingers catch the edges, how the dust gathered along the edges as well as how it affects the fingerprint scanner. Well I removed it today and added the liquid screen protector (which with a little commen sense actually worked to protect my screen on my Note 10 Plus for almost a year from any scratches) and this phone is so much nicer. Your fingers glide across the screen and the finger print reader works so much better know then with the protector. The screen also just looks better...clearer, I'm not sure how to describe it but I sure love this phone even more now.
Liquid Glass, it's been around for years. Hydrophobic.
It's nanometers in thickness. Bonds on the molecular level.
It's also a real ***** to remove especially around the edges. Mineral spirits, lots of it and clean clothes. If you go to another system it may not need removal or it could cause adhesion failure.
I'm not very keen on it for this application for a variety of reasons.
Unfortunately the protection 1 coat provides is almost nonexistent. On cars you need minimum 3 coats, 5+ is better with Liquid Glass; it's formulated to be used like this.
5+ coats looks like a layer of clear coat, great for black cars.
The stuff you're using not so sure it can be "layered".
Don't count on this to save the screen from even sand; it's simply not thick enough. It will repel water and make cleaning easier, eventually it wears off of heavily used areas.
No added impact resistance.
Plastic urethane screen protectors don't feel as good but provide excellent scratch/marring protection and even some limited impact protection.

Where did you get your phone from because I really don't see a "factory" screen protector? I bought mine paid in full from Samsungs website but I really don't see a factory screen protector on it.
Mine was purchased directly from Samsung Canada and it had the factory screen on it...you can tell if you look at the front camera....you can see the circle around the camera.

I looked and quite closely too and I don't see anything around my camera hole.. At least nothing that resembles a screen protector cut-out.. I'm guessing some have them and some don't.
That is pretty strange, I cannot remember the last Samsung phone I have purchased that didn't have a factory installed screen protector.

Apparently this is the case; some do, some don't.
You can see a small bit of exposed screen all around the edge of the screen protector if it has one.
Lame of Samsung not to include this on some for at least temporarily protection.

That factory one is really pretty good.
Leave it on until it wears out. Have a one ready.
I found the wet apply ones are the easiest to put on perfectly. They last about 3-4 months maybe more, give good scratch protection and a little impact protection as well.
Yes I still have the factory one on it, thanks. I did purchase amfilm on Amazon for when factory one wears out. I was tempted to order the Whitestone dome but way too expensive.

So yours didn't come with one. We are talking about two different things.
On one hand you have a factory installed edge to edge screen protector with a cut out for the camera.
On the other hand you have a shipping film added to keep the screen from getting scuffed when shifting around in the box.
I usually remove mine when it starts to get messed up. Then it's like getting a new phone!

Your fingers glide across the screen and the finger print reader works so much better know then with the protector. The screen also just looks better...clearer, I'm not sure how to describe it but I sure love this phone even more now.

i use my phone without any protector )
Don't remember if mine came with one or not. But definitely need one and a case as well because I HATE the accidental touches on my phone lol
Mine came from Samsung Canada with the preinstalled screen protector, but I was unhappy with the responsiveness of the fingerprint sensor, so I peeled it off. What a difference. The fingerprint sensor works instantly and the screen feels much smoother.
