Default Best Screen protector, period.

I just got the javoedge no-glare screen protector and it is the best I have used.

I think that the zagg invisiblesheild is amazing and bulletproof, but has a terrible glare. The one from javoedge makes this phone usable during the day outside.

Default Outside Use

If it was mid-day, brightest sun you can get directly over head...when I try to use my phone, I jack up the brightness to 100%.

Then I would usually have to cover it with my hand, and still get very little ability to see the screen.

I'm using, and have been for about 6 months:

It's like impossible to scratch and the screen is perfect.

The main problem is glare / daytime usability. I'm ready to buy the one you suggested almost ASAP just for that.

I used the zagg one you have and love it for durability (I had the whole phone protector and loved it until it got gunky around the edges). The issue was glare; I couldn't see anything with it on.

With this you get one screen protector, but it is all you need. With the regular phone with no screen protector I could see about 40%, zagg 30%, this one somewhere around 75% or better (a noticeable increase, not perfect, but much much improved).

The problem with the walmart ones (and most others) is that you don't have the durability that zagg and this one does; with this one you can abuse the screen and still wipe them off with your finger for a perfect view.

I recently purchased the JAVOScreen anti-glare screen protector and enjoy the durability and fitment. However, I find it very hard to use in daylight.

Are you sure you purchased the anti-glare one?

Expensive but the best screen protector I've ever used. I use them on all my mobile devices.

My .02

I have been using Pocket PC Techs WriteShields for a long time now all the way back to my Ipaq 3650 days... long before my i700.

They are anti-glare and so dang durable that it is one of those products you just love to recommend. I have been given some other brands here and there along the years and those REALLY cemented my appreciation for the WriteShields. I play a LOT OF SOLITAIRE... like every time I go to the reading room (if you get my drift) and I always my fingernails... along with all my other PDA/phone use. I get around two years out of one of these and that includes just a ridiculous amount of abuse.

I have the same thing on my Tablet PC... it has been there since 2004 and I kid u not... it looks like brand new (obviously not as abused as the phones )


FWIW

DONATE TO ME
Can't believe it's not mentioned here.

The best screen protector hands down for any device are the Anti Glare ones from www.Boxwave.com

they'll last forever, are washable, easy to apply, make the touch surface feel more paperlike which makes writing on it nicer, eliminates glare, doesn't show fingerprints... it's just awesome.

I have the on my Sony TG50, my Nintendo DS, and my xv6800. All are perfect.
If you like what I posted - I won't mind if you hit the Donate or Thanks buttons
Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Clie S300-> Clie TG50 -> XV6800 -> Touch Pro2 -> Fascinate -> Galaxy Nexus

JAVOedge

Choices... choices...
