Default SGP screen protectors

Does anyone know if the screen protectors from SGP for the ATT Skyrocket (HERE) will work with our T-Mobile Galaxy S II? i know that these two phones are basically the same and i KNOW there are screen protectors for our variant (HERE) but i have to say the cut out on our GSII is ugly compared to the skyrockets. i wish that they didnt cut the ear speaker grill like that, and unnecessary camera cut out.

If I were you, I'd use the real look branded protectors on Amazon. These are the best screen protectors out for our phones.

i have it installed and currently using it. this thing tracks so much damn oil! and also has that rainbow effect too. i've had SGP on my vibrant and loved it. i guess im just too picky when it comes to these things.

You'd probably have to trim it a bit at the corners where they curve because the Skyrocket is a bit more square than the T989. Otherwise when I quickly compared the 2 phones in an ATT store the other day the rest seems to line up fine. I like the ATT screen protector (Moshi). Using it on my iPad2 and former ATT SGS2.

Acually SGPs are better. i think sgp has a contract with att. Our phone been out over a month and were just now getting screen protectors for the phone. And with only 2 options. Neither one i want. The oleophobic one imo is better i had one on the tab. The skyrocket just came out and they already had all 3 types of screen protectors and cases incl. oleophobic and without the ugly cutouts on the top. What r they thinking

I was just reading the descriptions. The ultra-fine 'sounds' like the best.
What do you like better about the oleophobic?

I bought the SGP Ultra Oleophobic (the one for the skyrocket). It's a bit narrower and the corners need some trimming because, like MisterEdF said, the T989 has more rounded corners. Anyway, the really important thing that I wanted to say is that these have to be on of the WORST screen protectors I have used.
They are supposed to be Oleophobic (and Ultra at that) for God's sake, BUT they seem to attract oil, and it leaves a rainbow effect smudge that won't go away unless I wipe it several times!
I honestly thought that I screwed up the installation and put the sticky side out, but no...

I'm at a loss as what to get. Both the SGP and the Realook now seem to have this problem of the rainbow smudges. I don't mind if it attracts fingerprints and oil, just not those stubborn rainbow smudges!

What about that Moshi brand you mentioned MisterEdF? Can u post (or PM me) a link? Is it available for the T989?

Thanks.
