Reviews:

SGP Review by Supish
Well its a dry apply screen protector so it is a little by harder to apply than wet applications. However, it is very smooth, almost no resistance and comparable to the naked screen (almost). Absolutely no yellowing as well and still no scratches so far. Good angle visability and not more of a lint/oil magnet than the naked screen. The one I got was advertised as ultra oleophobic meaning it resists oils, I guess it works.

SGP Oleophobic Screen Protector Review by cheetah2k
I've just received the SGP Oleophobic screen protector. It took me a whole 2 minutes to install and is totally bubble free. You get 2 protectors in each packet, plus bubble removal card, cleaning cloth and 4 dust removal stickers.

Definitely the most complete screen protector on the market.

And it works!!! Awesome i give it 10/10

Skinomi Review by djkinetic:
i use the skinomi screen protectors and they are great in my experience, at the time i ordered it it was the only one available, it is a wet apply, put it on align it, and let it dry and its nearly invisible no bubbles, the material is polyurethane, and supposedly has a uv coating to prevent yellowing, it feels smooth when using the touch screen even tho the texture seems rubbery, its weird cuz u can definately tell its a different texture but ur finger still glides over the touch screen like nothin is there. Only downside is that if u knick the protector it doesnt self repair, for example if u press hard on the film with a fingernail it will leave an imprint that doesnt go away. However they do offer lifetime replacements, overall id recommend it.

Ghost Armor Review by cegna09
Used them on my Aria, and now my Atrix. They are awesome if only for the warranty alone. Great coverage of the phone, great protection, awesome at hiding finger grease on the screen. And if you ever need it replaced they send a new one no questions asked, just mail the old one back to them. Had it on my Aria for 6 months without problems, then switched phones.

EMPIRE Screen Protector Review by vin791
bought the empire screen protector from amazon for $4 (free 2 day shipping w/ amazon student) and it rocks. there's a ~.5mm border on the sides and ~1mm border on the top, doesn't both me though and its super clear. i got it perfectly aligned on the 2nd lay down with no bubbles or dust (make sure you wipe it down really good with the cloth they send). its easier when you start from the top of the phone instead of the bottom. i oull the whole sticky side protector off, align the top and kind of guide it straight towards the bottom. the card they send removes any bubbles that are there at first. no worries. as long as you cleaned the surface well and theres no dust, you shouldn't have bubbles when you're done. great and inexpensive product (compared to competitors)

InvisibleSHIELD Maximum Coverage Review by kmiller8:
Immediately after I applied the skin, I could tell instantly I would love it, mainly because of the texture/feel of the plastic "skin" applied to the phone. It added a nice rubbery feel to it while at the same time not making it any harder (maybe even a little easier) to use the OSK and Swype. You can see in the album on pics 2 and 5 where I had a bit of trouble applying, but those could have been easily avoided, had I taken just a few more minutes to make the skin more even throughout the phone. However the edges of the cover are a HUGE lint magnet especially in pockets but I think (hope) that this is just because it was recently applied. Also, it still fits perfectly in the Standard and Car Dock In the pictures it appears as if there are little bubbles throughout the skin, this is not visible under normal lighting, but the flash of the camera seems to have over exaggerated it.
EDIT: After a few weeks with the protector, I ended up removing the part covering the glass, The atrix just looks SOOO much better without a skin protector on the front, but I did keep the ones on the side and back because it adds a much needed grip to the back of the phone.

Fin

I hope this helps someone decide whether or not to get one of these skins, and personally I like the fact that it appears as if it is just the bare phone, but there is a nice layer of protection throughout the phone, however others will equally enjoy a nice OtterBox Defender or Incipio Feather case (two previous options).

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, or if you have any suggestions to be added to the first post (kit recommendations, personal reviews) reply below!

Yellowing, corner adhesion, edge lint, and texture = no way Invisibleshield is going on my phone. I used it on my Fuze and it was awful.

Is there any other kind of "full body" clear protector that is better?

Whats the texture of the phantomskin? like is it smooth like the regular phone or more "rubbery" like the Zagg shields.

Also, they're the same price $25 before shipping, but i do like how phantomskinz has a matte version avialable

EDIT: nevermind, apparently you get two kits for $25. i might just try out a set.

EDIT 2: heavily modified first part of first post to provide links to both Zagg and Phantom Skinz. and other places
