Default [Q] Zagg InvisibleSHIELD (Nexus S) Color Distortion

Hey guys,

I have a Nexus S, and I bought the Zagg InvisibleSHIELD screen protector. I noticed that the grays now have a slight purplish tint, and the whites aren't as white as they used to be.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I don't have an InvisibleSHIELD on my NS, but I've used them in the past on other phones, and every one I've ever had makes the display look worse in some way (the "orange peel" look seemed to always be a constant).

Yeah, I definitely get the orange peel effect -- doesn't bug me all that much, though. I'm just used to the brilliant AMOLED display of the Galaxy S series, and everything appears to have a very slight yellow tint... And, as I mentioned above -- the grays look ... "meh".

i never liked zagg... theres so much hype around it. its garbage. It says screen will be unscratchable but the screen protectro itself gets scratched very easily. after a week the protector gets very "rubbery". And also color distortion on every one i've used. I love realook, waiting for it to come out on the nexus s

Zagg feels like a condom and ruins the super amoled colors, lets face it.

I've got a zagg on my NS. I'm not noticing any color distortion. I got it free with the phone so no big deal.
