Screen protectors

---

So, after watching the Zagg youtube video on how easily the the
Captivate's screen scratches. I decided I once again needed a screen protector; so I did a search on amazon and found xtreme guards. For $2 your can get a screen protector (which is what I did) for $5 you can get a full body protector, so my screen protector came in today, and I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the quality; it's easily the best screen protector in terms of material I've ever had (and I've had tons of em).the best way to describe it is like the window decals you put on your house for holidays only thinner.when installing you of course get a hard plastic installation card, and when working out the bubbles and install solution I was surprised to find the protector it's self not scratching! like so many other countless protector I've installed in the past. The instructions said it takes about 2 days for any hazeyness or bubbles from the install to go away and there's a little of both still left. The bubbles are no big deal as I expected them because I SUCK at putting these things on. However I would like the hazeyness to go away but only time will tell. Bottom line for the price these things are amazing! And if your insecure about scratches like me then you need one of these. I give it my kick ass product stamp of approval!

Zagg is also pretty impressive. Although it is quite a bit more money you easily get what its worth. Zagg also makes me condoms xD jk

The biggest and main reason for me only buying ZAGG products is because of the lifetime warranty they come with. To me its a no brained for a protector. If I mess it up they send me a new one free of charge. If the corner peels or it gets caught on something they send me a new one. Greatest protector in my opinion.

I had the full ZAGG on my Evo and loved it! Does anyone know if they make a full one for the Fascinate WITH the extended battery and door? I couldn't find anything about it on their site but wondered since it's an OEM accessory?

Yea my only problem with zagg is paying $14-$24 for a thin piece of plastic that I can never apply perfectly anyways.

With my Droid X I went with a Steinheil Ultra Crystal and it was really great because it covered the whole display and was perfectly clear, very transparent user experience.

Since then I traded the X in for the Fascinate and unfortunately Steinheil hasn't released the same protector for the Fascinate yet. So for now I went with Zagg shield because the Verizon branded protectors are horrid (don't cover whole display, nasty texture, and dull the gorgeous display).

I'm not too impressed with the Zagg, but it covers the whole front and is relatively responsive and clear.

• My biggest gripe is the orange peel effect as well as little lines of distortion (almost looks like application solution that didn't dry or something, like a water / oil on screen effect).
• It also takes 24hrs to "properly apply" so that may be a downside because they tell you to turn the device off until dry.
• Also the material has a habit of retaining any indentation from fingernails and such, almost like a rubber memory type plastic.

Perhaps some of my issues are to do with poor application of the protector so personal experience may vary. Some people were saying it takes 2 weeks of heavy use to fully cure. These are nit picky gripes of flaws I see in Zagg compared to the Steinheil. I believe Zagg to be a more professional military grade protector, but the steinheil seems to offer a better viewing experience.

I would recommend going with something temporarily and then switching it out for the Steinheil once they are available, my preference of course.

Steinheil Ultra Clears are THE BEST CLEAR screen protectors out there, period. Nothing is more optically clear, durable, no orange peel/distortion, easy to install, able to be installed with NO dust, etc. I've used every brand of screen protector out there over the last 15 years, and they are THE BEST I've used.

As mentioned, they're not out yet for our phone though. I e-mailed them and they said they are going to be making them but they're a few weeks out at least. They suggested watching their twitter / facebook page.

So since they're not out, I'd recommend going with "whatever" for now. I'm going to use one of those $2 full protection ones that are mentioned in this forum

The best ANTI GLARE protectors, are Boxwave ones. But given how beautiful this display is, I don't think I could recommend putting an anti glare on this screen.

I just want one that covers up the whole face of the phone

you can get a bunch of those on ebay

I just bought the Realook screen protectors from Amazon - they cover the whole screen and are very clear, can't even tell it's on there. Fairly easy to apply too - they are $9.99 for two of them.
