Default Screen protector for Droid Razr

Well I had ordered the Skinomi screen protector for the Droid Razr and it was pretty much useless for me. It is a water adhering type and could never get it straight until several attempts, and even then after it dried it felt very rubbery and not smooth to use on a touch phone.

I also had a couple of basic protectors ordered with 2 tpu gel cases I ordered from ebay and they were pathetic. Watch out using stuff they throw in for free on ebay with case orders as they aren't worth hassling to put on without bubbles and scratch easily anyway.

Funny enough, after spending 30 bucks on cases and screen protection I have gone back to using the screen unprotected and it fits a leather slide case I bought and cut the belt clip off of. Fits snuggly and the screen is protected in my pocket. I am careful when getting it in and out but have dropped it once and only a couple small scratches on the back corner, the screen is still perfect.

PS. on a side note when I first bought the Razr there were no screen protects available and I ended up using a HTC HD7 mobile screen protector and it was slightly wider and did not reach all the way top and bottom. I regret taking it off, as it fit without bubbles and was tough. Might just buy another and cut the sides off a bit.

Default Just got new screen protector in mail

Just received the QtFolix screen protector from Germany I ordered a couple weeks ago. Been waiting to try it out on the Razr.

I work in a private hospital in the sterilizing section so have access to dust free environment, air guns, lint free cloths and such. Its a stick on protector so no water needed. Will give it a good go to put it on and will post back with results. Looks like a good quality protector, set me back 10 bucks for just the one. I won't have second chances with this so fingers crossed.

Are there not enough threads on this?


Ghost Armor. Its invisible, and feels very close to the actual screen.

Steinheil ultra crystal, feels amazing and waterless application. Tried skinomi this time to save a few $$, took it off, it was horrible.

Steinheil Ultra Fine for me. No glare, no fingerprints and doesn't feel like it adds any thickness. In fact, it doesn't seem like it's even on.

Why do you even need a screen protector? It's already Gorilla Glass. Do you bump your phone against things all the time?
Nothing is going to scratch or crack the screen.

GG is not scratch proof. Especially against sand. There's a reason you always see them demo it against keys or coins but never use sand or glide it across a gritty sidewalk like if you dropped it and it slides. There's plenty of forum threads where people talk about scratches they've gotten.

I bought a 3 pack from Verizon and ordered some skinomies (spell?) Online. Took the Verizon one off today as it gathers a lot of smudges.

The way I see it, the average person won't scratch it naked. However, I've watched some drop test videos and this puppy cracks easy. So in my opinion, all a screen protector will do is keep those broken pieces intact, which will hold you over until you get a replacement.
