Default [Q] How much do you pay for screen protectors

Hello people!

How many of you out there are using screen protectors?

If you do, how much do you pay for a piece of flat plastic?

If you do not, how are your screen doing?

About 2 scratches for a half year of working. Don't think this is big price for better response from touchscreen without protector.

Didn't have one until scratched it. 2 nasty stripes along my screen, think i had tattoo and my old nokia in same pocket...sharp edges of my nokia did not like my new phone's screen.
Screen protector slightly cloaks the scratches and prevents new ones i guess. Barely noticeable.

costs pennies in UK ebay.

I buyed 15 pieces from China shipped (cheaper with 3 x 5). I think they costed me about half a USD. You can just see it on the screen if you look very good. You may notice the edges of the protector. But the colors of the screen and quality is just the same, i cannot see any difference. Before this, I used another protector for 1 USD. The problem was:

1. Production fault. A big square cutted in the middle of the protector. It should have been on the other layer, that actually is garbage.

2. "Wadda heck happened to your screen?!"

3. Colors were absorbed buy the plastic and so was some of the brightness.


But this new one, half the price, is just NEAT!

Default Screen Protector

Hi,

I bought 6 screen protectors for £ 1.95 on ebay.

I never had risks on my screen, but the digitizer already broke two times in two years, but fortunately I still have warranty.

I think one year from now I'll have to buy a digitizer (around £ 5 on ebay).

I used to buy protectors 3 for 5 USD or something on ebay (always the same seller) but I lost 4 of them when re-innovating the flat and now I'm fed up and don't use any protectors any more

Matte protectors are ok,
Mirror protectors provided a distorted reflection and made looking at the screen in sunlight nearly impossible.
And I haven't tried the privacy protectors.
