Default Screen Protector!!!

Hey guys! I know the phone is still new but have you guys gotten you're hands on any good screen protectors for our phones? Clear, anti finger print, anti glare etc. let me know guys share you vast knowledge!!

Me personally I'm using the screen protector that comes with the phone when purchased haha! I noticed it was fading from being used so i ended up rubbing all the text off now i have a pretty decent screen protector to last me until i get heavy duty one!

I may be alone in this, but I think screen protectors are overrated. The biggest danger to the screen is shattering and no screen protector will prevent that. Unless you have diamonds in your pockets I cannot imagine scratching it without breaking it completely. .

That is a good point, which would go more towards purchasing a case rather than a screen protector, though i have a major pet peeve when it comes to my screen having any sort of scratch..let alone cracks..but IMO i do believe having a well made screen protector on or screens do provide a lesser chaw of getting cracks if the device were to drop!

I am using the gadget guard screen protector, i really like it it is heavy duty, anti glare, and anti finger prints, very easy to install, can be installed with wet or dry installation. It was a little hazy yesterday when i installed it, but really clear today, took about twelve hours to clear up after wet install. But only using it till my otterbox comes in.

I agree with you about screen protector being uselessly, but with phone being so new you have to order a case, because my att store one had one, and it was for women, and the screen protector is a nice peace of mind till the case comes in.

So I just received the skinomi and got it installed. No pictures though sorry!

It was very easy to install. Came with liquid, squeege, and cloth!

It is very clear. Pretty much like the invisible shields if you have ever seen those.

Feel is also not that bad.

Fit is perfect and goes from corner to corner very well!

For less than 10 dollars on Amazon it is the best screen protector you can get.

Thanks for the reviews my screen protector failed on me lol so I'll be looking into the Skinomi sounds cheapest and seems to work great but I'll let you guys know!
