I'm using Zagg invisible shield. They have kiosks in SM megamall, SM North, SM MoA and Robinsons galleria. They probably have in other malls, too. It's a bit pricey at Php 800.00 as screen protectors go, but I like its rubbery feel. If you have clammy hands, you should probably skip this.

Also, when I bought mine, they had to order it from their supplier and I gave 50% down. It took 3 weeks for it to arrive. If it doesn't arrive it 3 weeks, you have the option to refund your down payment. I got mine at galleria and the guy manning the booth did a good job installing the protector. A lot of people don't like the orange peel effect of invisible shield. I, however, don't mind since it's only really noticeable when looking at it at an angle.

I got my nexus from a friend in japan a week ago. It's a docomo locked unit. I found the guide here on how to unlock then root from wugfresh toolkit. then run the F* docomo apk. And now I'm a happy gnex user..

Congrats on your GNex. Screen protectors i've tried that are locally available are sgp steinheil, capdase klia and zagg. Not available locally is gadgetshieldz. Of the 4, i kept gadgetshieldz on my device. In rank, i would do gadgetshieldz, capdase klia, sgp steinheil then zagg

I've heard that the steinheil isn't a perfect fit and it can't cover the entire screen which makes it a no no for me.

hows the new capdase screen protector? used one on my iPad and it was ok. used one on my nexus one before and i took it out after 3 days since it ruined the beauty of the samoled screen.

where are these available? just saw that the steinheil was available at applewerkz. zagg is in the sm malls. how about the capdase?

it has to be Capdase Klia. the fit is larger than the steinheil but it's also not from corner to corner as we have curved screens on our device but it does its job pretty well, imho. there's a capdase outlet in sm north annex although they are never updated on their products. i was able to source mine in a shop in VMall. the name of the shop is Orange. they sell orig capdase products. price is about 500php if i can recall correctly. i have an extra one in case i get bored with my gadgetshieldz protector already. hehehehe

How bad is the fit of the capdase? Pictures?

I've read that there are some perfect fit protectors though I couldn't remember the brand.
