So I'm aware that there are tons of threads around about screen protectors and I just want to make a poll for people without the screen protectors so they'll know what to get :) I've included some coupons for each one :D

I'll be naming the major brand ones only since they're easier to identify.

Please tell me if there are any other brands that I'm missing :)

The choices are listed above :)

Zagg Invisible Shield
Coupon (20% off): ZAGG20

Skinomi Techskin
Coupon (25% off): get25 or skinomi25

SGP Ultra Oleophobic
Can't find a coupon for this :/

SGP Flex
None either :(

XO Skin
Coupon: SPRINTXO

Other
Please specify! :)

So please vote for the brand that you're currently using and comment about your screen protector :D

If everyone can share some thoughts about their screen protector like:

Name of Your Screen Protector:
Wet/Dry Application:
Easiness to Install:
Orange Peel (Yes/No):
Fingerprint Resistance:
Screen Coverage:
Protection (High/Low):

You can rate them 1-5, or just comment on them :) whichever is fine :)
1 Being unsatisfied, and 5 being satisfied :D

Thats all I can think of so far, but I'll add on more if I can come up with more later :p

Ordered a BestSkinsEver, which is currently running 25% off. Hopefully I'll actually have the phone soon to use it with...

Not all of them are wet application :)
Only skinomi, xo, and flex are :) (I'm not sure about zagg)

And wet application shouldn't damage your beloved phone since it dries fairly quickly!

Zagg is wet also so it would have been easier just saying the Ultra Oleophobic is the only non-wet one.
I bought one called iskinz locally in Canada. I really like it and I think it's a lot smarter that they use an alcohol base for the installation instead of water base. It evaporated so fast and I had zero haze or bubbles like I did with all the others that use water.

I haven't bought a screen protector yet, but I'm planning to when I pick up my Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus (YAY!!!!). I want to understand the types of screen protectors out there because I usually kind of get whatever is out there.

I'm assuming wet applications will generally give you that orange peel effect. These usually offer better protection and coverage, but clarity of the display and feel of it???

What's the downside of a "dry" application of a screen protector?

I was a little surprise to see all the others,
but I added a few things that maybe people can help to rate each individual categories or something like that :)

i used the one that came with my diztronics tpu case. it is actually pretty good and only leaves about a mm all the way around which is acceptable. too many dry screen protectors go edge to edge and it makes installation more challenging. i came away with no dust and centered perfect with it. i ordered a skinomi but i don't know if i'm going to put it on. wet application bothers me a little bit. other than that, i usually use el cheapos from hong kong and they have always worked great on my other phones.

    based off of some of the reviews I saw on here I went and purchased a Martin Field screen protector. the quality is incredible! Did heights fingerprints better than anything exclude screen protector I've ever used. For A dry application protector it is incredible. I highly recommend it! This is coming from someone who has used nearly every screen protector out there is well worth the price. I am hoping I can get a replacement sent as there was a small portion that won't adhere to the screen. If I had any fault with this, it would be that it is almost cut to big.

    What would you guys recommend for me according to this criteria:
    1. wet or dry doesn't matter
    2. retain screen quality as much as possible (no antiglare or orange peel)
    3. feel like glass
    4. Most importantly: edge to edge
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    XO Skins for me. Its edge to edge, No Orange Peel, it has a slight rubber feel if your hands are moist for the first few days, while it cures up. It also hides finger prints and makes the screen easier to clean. Their customer service is awesome and so is their product.
