Nokia Lumia 900 Screen Protectors

---

I've got the AT&T gel case which protects the rest of the phone nicely.
Now I'm looking for the best screen protector for the 900. I'm getting tired of the finger prints!

What's everybody using for a screen protector?

I'm leaning towards the Zagg (screen coverage only) but I'm open to better options if they're out there.

I bought the Zagg Dry for my Lumia and really like the front cover. It does a good job of staying nearly invisible and still protecting the screen. The back cover however is different. It has a rough texture and honestly, if I hadnt paid for it I would take it off. It just ruins the look of the matte finish. But I dont have a case yet so I think I will leave it on for now

I have two zaggs and I REALLY don't like the orange peel effect but the finger streaks are far better than the PET type plastic that use static adhesion to stay on.

What's the orange peel effect ?

Zagg screen covers are not completely smooth. The screen cover has a slight "orange peel" texture to it that some people despise. You cant feel this texture but it is visible in the right light. I dont think its a big deal but to each his own.

"Orange peel effect" as seen on this Skinomi TechSkin, which is analagous to the Zagg (Zagg is allegedly uglier):



No "orange peel effect" on Brando UltraClear:



Unfortunately, it looks like Brando hasn't put up an UltraClear for the Nokia Lumia 900 yet.
When I got the UltraClear, as seen on the Focus S above, they didn't have one for the Focus S. Instead, I got one for the Galaxy S II, and cut off a bit around the edges because apparently the Galaxy S II, with the same screen size has a bigger bezel. Worked like a charm.

Not sure what you can do with Lumia 900 though.

tldr: the Brando UltraClear is by far the best screen protector I've owned, you might want to wait until they stock them (on brando.com) for the Lumia 900, but if you can't wait, then there are a number of ways you can cut other screen protectors to fit.

The other thing I don't like about Zagg type protectors is the finger adhesion is greater than the PET type.

I might give the brando a shot if they get one.

Right now I am just using a PET type I ordered from Amazon the same day I pre-ordered the phone.

Edit: Now that I have looked up brando and see its a "PET" type protector then I have to say my favorite of all time in those types are from Clarivue.com but they dont have the 900 up yet either.

Edit: Just heard back from Clarivue and they say ETA is next friday.

I have the Zagg protector on my Kindle Fire. While it is noticeable in the right light, it looks absolutely nothing like your Skinomi. I just tried to capture it in numerous different lighting scenarios, and I was unable to capture a picture of the orange peel effect at all. That Skinomi looks absolutely horrible...

Edit: Finally got it. Had to take a pic with heavy light directly on the bezel of the screen to see it in the picture. First pic is without direct light. You can't even see the orange peel.



Second pic shows slight orange peel.

Ya I would say the orange peel effect on the Skinomi is on the extreme side. Its nothing like that on my device. It looks clear at almost all angles but just a few in the right light. The kindle is a more accurate representation I feel.

I used to use PhanomSkinz on my Palm Pre and never had a orange skin effect compared to when I used the Zagg skin. I haven't seen them release a PhantomSkinz for the Nokia Lumia 900 yet though.
