Default Screen Protector WARNING

I bought a 3 pack of screen protectors from clearscreens for only 1.30. I knew they were cheap and all, but these protectors were HORRIFIC. They were a bit too big for the phone so I found them having a lot of bubbles and always moving. They had SCRATCHES, yes scratches, on the back itself so my phone looks uneven. I applied these in my bathroom after running hot water and cleaned so there was no dust, just a heads up. DONT BUY FROM clearscreens

And yes I understand its only a dollar, but still, a bad item is a bad item

man, thanks for the heads up. I bought a universal screen protection kit in the att store today (ya know the ones you can cut out and make urself). I was afraid when i read this that those are the ones you were talking about.

If you get the 3 pack from the att store that is universal, put the screen on your phone without pealing off any coats on it and draw the outline of what you want to cover and then cut it out. Its really simple because the cover on the screen protector has a grid printed on it. Stick it on in a humid bathroom (not too humid, just enough so that you feel the humidity) and get the bubbles out. Some of the edges might not stick down right away, take ur phone out to your room and let it sit. Press the edges down whenever you remember and eventually they will stick.

Ps when you cut the screen protector to size always round off any corners so they dont catch in your pocket.

Ok thanks

Also, the protector was cut and it seemed like it would fit, but it just was a tad big so there would be bubbles. I won't lie, I went through all three and this one just looks horrible, but I am keeping it on just so my screen doesn't get scratched until I buy a new one

if you still have the original no texting and driving screen protector it came with, you can use acetone to remove the text on it and then reapply it to your screen. Ya know just as an alternative :P

Yah, but my rep saw a dust particle so he wiped it off with his FINGER. When I got it there were smudges already

I am waiting for my screen protector from AT&T. I generally buy Zagg but it seems to be too sticky for me lately. I'm going to try this one out for a while.

I have the AT&T protectors on my Captivate. They work fine, but really show the smudges. Constantly wiping it down because it looks tacky. They aren't "no-glare" so you do get some reflection, and they don't seem to affect the screen sensitivity too much. I still type the wrong stuff inadvertently. . . .
One, SGS3, HOX, and too many others to list. . . .
