[Q] Screen Protector Questions

---

Hi everyone,
I'm going to be getting an SGSII, and I'm not sure whether to get a screen protector or not.
I think I will (better safe than sorry), but I'm really confused as to all the choice.
There are cheapo ones off ebay, and there are $30 ones from Zagg, and a crapload in between!

What are all the different ones out there? What's different about them? What are their pros and cons?
How easy are they to put on?
How much do they actually protect?
How much do they cost?
How do they feel?
How do they look?
How do they affect the touchscreen?

How am I supposed to know which to chose, if at all?

Please don't just say a brand and that you recommend it, tell me why.

Thank you,

Amando.

I wont be getting one my galaxy s hasn't got a single mark after a year of use. Ive applies many screen protectors in the past to other devices and I've never been able to apply one perfectly (tiny spec of dust/ slightly missaligned etc)

This phone doesn't need one. I would get a case though

That's a thread addressing whether it needs one or not, none of the questions I've asked are really properly answered in that thread...

I'm not sure whether I want one or not... I can see your point, but there's always the 'just in case' nagging feeling... I'm a student and I live away from home. I shouldn't really even be buying the phone, but I want it and i *can* afford it, at a sacrifice for a few weeks. So I just want to make sure it is worth it.

I like zagg a lot, great protection and gives it some grip.... better safe then sorry is always the best method.... putting it on can be a pain... you really cannot go wrong.... it is to protect the screen and does not affect anything IMO

I actually always found the Zagg ones to be really fiddly to put on and overpriced. On my old phone I went with a cheap screen protector. I just needed to protect it from the possibility of my headphones scratching it in my pocket but that's about it.

It all depends on the amount of protection you think you need. If you're gonna be gental with it then the cheap-o ones will do the job and they're easier to apply.

Ive ordered a xtremeguard until something better comes out. But they got good reviews online. You have to install with a little water though.
