It's been a while since many of us got the Nexus S. For those of you that decided to go without a screen protector how is your screen now? We know its not Gorilla glass and there has been some debate if one is needed or not. So naked people, how's your screen today? (If you purchased the phone like 4 days ago please ignore this. I'm more curious about people that have had the phone since launch or close to launch)

Beautiful and scratch/mar free.
Been running naked screen since 12/16 with no regrets.
Got my phone mid-January, and I decided to play it safe. Ghost Armor. Love it and it works great.
I'm considering pulling this ZAGG off of this beautiful Super AMOLED.

Ghost Armor interested me, but there's no kiosk near here in Los Angeles.
I used to be really good at installing Zagg full bodies and other brands of screen only, but I messed up my last Zagg attempt (my i9000) and am not 100% happy with the outcome, but not unhappy enough to re-do it, so not sure I want to invest the time and money to go with the GA, especially since I would not put it on the screen, just the back.
I used screen protector on my previous phones (G1, nexus one, G2). When I got this phone I realized that I was taking care of my phones just so the second owner will get a almost brand new phone and wasn't enjoying it to it fullest.
I got the Nexus S and there was no way I'm putting cloth on this sexy screen. I'm enjoying the phone to it fullest. No scratches so far, I also take good care of it by dedicating my right packet only for her, no coins no keys, just my nexy.

Ooo ya, if there hadn't been a kiosk I wouldn't have done the GA. And you'd have to buy the whole body protection which I'll admit adds sharp corners to the phone that I'm not 100% fond of. I actually took off the side protection because it was just too damn sharp.
By the way, distorted. Have you noticed its pretty much just you and I in the mornings and that we just end up chatting?

Yeah, actually I had noticed that you and I tend to hit the same threads at the same time.
Maybe we're just the only ones on the West Coast...everyone else has hit work by now. For them, it's not as much morning as for us.

Fair enough, though I'm surprised by how early you get up. I'm only up this morning because my wife woke up with a fever so I'm up taking care of her for a bit.
I Zagged my first one but had to return it(TBH i didn't like the zagg but like to keep my phones in tip top condition as i only keep them 6 months.)
anyway CPW replaced my phone last week because the back button wasn't working but I could't transplant the zagg so went naked !
bad decision...although I keep it in a leather pouch, I noticed yesterday there is a small scuff to the screen coating near the earphone.
I love the phone but what a bad decision not to have gorilla glass or factory apply a protector!
I'm going to take it back to CPW and see if they'll replace it under sale of goods as the screen is not performing as expected - no one would expect a scuff within 5 days if their phone is only ever touched by fingers or the felty inside of phone pouch.

I don't sleep much. I was up at 3:00 AM local today, but took a short nap at 4:30 or so.
Getting old sux, you need more sleep, but can't seem to get it!
I hope the wife's not too ill.
Sorry for off-topic to the rest.
no issues whatsoever. Screen protectors r overrated.
I got mine on first launch day, and basically I used that one as my experiment phone just to see how durable the screen was in comparison to my previously owned N1. I had the phone about 2 weeks before I noticed some very light scratches on the screen. Nothing visible head on, you could only see it from an angle with a light source reflecting off of it. For the most part, I kept it in my pocket free of hard items, but there were times when I threw it in my pocket with a few coins and keys in there. My second unit I kept for about a week. I specifically steered clear of sharing my phone with other items in the same pocket. Lo n behold, another small scratch surfaced up on the display. As I said before, it's nothing you can see right off, unless you specifically look for it. Over a short period of time, using this phone without a screen protector, will develop some sort of scratches on it, guaranteed!

I have the Nexus S for 10 days now. No screen protectors but I put it in a soft pouch when it's in my pocket. So far pristine.
I've been carrying mine in a ziplock in my pocket. My pockets seem to attract lint like no tomorrow, and I dont
want any getting stuck between the screen and bezel. I wish my cases, soft pouch, and Skinomi skin would show up already.
Phone is pristine, I'm just trying to avoid micro-scratches on the battery cover.

I use ziplocks for my phone when it's raining (which doesn't happen much here in LA); I don't even need to take out of the bag to make a call or use the phone.
Ive had mine for about 6 weeks now...just before christmas i got it. Up until about a week ago i used it with no screen protector. Its fine as you would expect. But anyway i been using a screen protector for about a week now, and i feel a lot better...i dont have to worry about any little accidents or anything.
Screen responds exactly the same...no issues.

Seidio and Steinheil. Clarivue is also good.
Ghost armor all the way! No issues here with it. Had it on my g1 and it kept the phone perfect for 2 years. That one was applied by the kiosk. Don't have one real close to me now in this state but after applying these things now in a few phones I could probably do it in my sleep. Nothing under my screen and it looks and feels great. No clarity issues and it seems the film self heals scratches. You can just barely see orange Peel in certain angles under the light but you can't feel it. I had the zagg before and its utter crap in comparison. The zagg is very bumpy and the thickness of it doesn't feel right on the phone. I've found the ghost armor to fit better as well. I originally wanted a static type like realook but with the curve of the screen it doesn't seem any of those type will fit as flush as this one.

I bought a set of 10 and they didn't cover the buttons.
I bought another set of 10 and they were too wide and would curl up at the edgeß because they extended over too far.
The otterbox for this phone did not come with a built in screen protector.
I need screen protectors. Im rough on my phone. Any recommendations? Post a link to a good manufacturer or retailer so I can buy some which work and are cheap so I can replace them frequently.
I got an XtremeGuard off amazon for $1. Its thick but not as thick as zagg. (Same wet install and give it a a day for all the tiny bubbles to dry up) I've gotten one for all my phones. I love em!!

If your buying a set of 10, then something tells me that they are not that good to begin with. Anytime i have bought a screen protector it has been 1. Unless the purpose was to cover 10 phones I don't see why anyone would buy a set of 10. After all you only need 1 protector to cover your phone.. unless they are complete crap and you go through em.
but really.. spend the money, buy a nice one. There are a couple out there that have great reviews and even some that will insure your device even more. I don't use em for a couple reasons.. but i think zagg and gorilla glass are ones you could look into.. just my 2cents
I found that real look brand in really nice. When it is installed you can't tell its there. I think it came with two films for about 10 bucks.

I don't spend "the money" on expendable items. I had an iPhone previously and I would spent alot on the screen protector because my otterbox had a very hard piece of scratch resistant plastic on the front covering the screen. On this phone, I have been through several screen protectors. I need some cheap ones because theyare going to get damaged
Im not planning on spending more them $3 per screen protectorbecause of the frequency which I damage them. I want a cheap, low quality, thin, maybe even slightly too small, easily scratchable, maybe even difficult to apply screen protector.
I don't want a reputible name brand. I want cheap screen protection that works and actually covers thewhole screen because I am rough with my phone.

Hey man all I'm saying is spend 3 dollars all the time (if you really are scratching your screen that much) or spend 20 and have some sort of warranty or replacement. Or maybe be a little more careful with your exspensive phone.

I keep that on my dev phone inside its otterbox. It does not leave the house. The "self healing" capability only goes so far. It is really only good for keeping the dust inside an otterbox from scratching the phone. The screen protector is very weak. It gouges easily and under normal applications it has a rippley surface on the face.
Sounds like you have luck with anything unless you just stop being so careless and rough. Protection only goes so far.

Read the first post. 20 bad screen protectors have shipped to me so far. Lack of research and development were to blame. I can handle lack of quality control. But wgen its obvious the manufacturer never even tried to use their products....
Honestly, the ones from at&t seemed pretty good and they are 3/$10.

That's what I use and they have been great. I am on my second in about 6 months and I have maybe two scratches that are obvious when sweat or moisture gets on the phone.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
I agree with the two above.
The att ones are 3/$10, cover everything but the light sensor and proximity sensor, are clear vs orange peel, and just plain work well.
Definitely agree with the above posts. The pack of 3 from at&t is actually made by Real Look. The pack costs 10 bucks. They apply easily, are super durable, and stay slick like the bare glass so swyping and cleaning the screen is super easy. Each one will last me a good 3 months if I don't gouge it, and that's fairly hard to do with how durable they are. Don't waste your time or money with anything else.

I'm almost positive they are the same. One package that I bought from at&t even had real look branding on the included stuff...unless I was delusional or something. To further reassure i wasn't seeing things though, I suggested real look to a friend for his iPhone 4, and the ones he got are the same material, so I'm almost positive that at&t's are made by real look.
Woot! I found some. 5 screen protectors for $1.59 from Amazon Seller ID: eTECH
I ordered 3 sets for a grand total of 4.77. The guy had a special going on where you order 3 items and receive a 10-in-one USB SDCard reader. So For a total of $11.71 (including shipping), I received 15 screen protectors and a USB SDCard reader.
They aren't as slick and smooth as the AT&T ones, but these are the cheap expendable protection which can be changed on a whim. This is what I was looking for.
Here's a link.. 3 for a dollar. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Captivate-Crystal-Screen-Protector/dp/B0040IUGG6 That's 1/10th of the AT&T price.
I put a super expensive invisible shield on my nexus s as soon as I got it because it looked so good I wanted to keep it that way.
But, for quite a while now I've been looking at my phone and thinking it just doesn't look very nice at all.
Today I was sitting having my lunch and using my phone and I had an epiphany. It occurred to me (finally) that it was the screen protector that was making the phone look bad.
Pulled the thing off and every single time I pick my phone up now I'm amazed at how pretty the thing is. And everything on the display looks great. Before it just looked dull.
Why the hell did I put that stupid thing on my screen in the first place. I keep the phone in a case all the time anyway. I must be fookin mad
Agreed, but I scratched my first one in a week and I keep it in a case as well. I wish someone actually made one that was good and clear.

That is food for thought. I hope I don't scratch this, but no way am I putting a screen protector back on it.
How did you scratch yours, and is it bad? Has it ruined the look of the phone??
Have had mine naked since I got it a month ago no scratches at all. I keep mine in my pocket. Oh and I work in a machine shop so lots of stuff to scratch my phone and it still looks brand new. These screens are alot more scratch resistant than we think.

welcome to my world
i did exactly the same thing, then i took it off
those super shields are just in the way IMO, and smears-up the display quality.
also the touch and slide sensation loss, is very irritant, when you can't slide naturally on the screen, always like glue stuck to your finger

I got my nexus earlier this week when I upgraded from my vibrant. One thing I've learned is to keep your nails filed and short. My phone is usually in my right hand and in turn use my thumb to touch the screen. Keeping the nails short keeps the nails and simultaneously touching the screen while gliding and preventing scratches. Filing them keeps them smooth rather than rough which also reduces the risk of scratches. Watch what you put in your pockets and clean your screen with a lent free cloth with micro pores. Dust can scratch your screen when it accumulates.

FYI, Anyone that is considering purchasing the Invisible Shield for their Nexus 7, I just received mine in the mail today and when applied it would not allow the touch screen to operate.

The front looks perfectly fine. You can't even really tell there is something there. The back is subjective. I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me. But no one forces you to have the back anyway.

I don't have a single problem with my invisibleshield on my Nexus 7, including the one you mentioned above.
So one of the following must be true:
You have a defective Nexus 7 with under-sensitive touchscreen.
Your InvisibleShield is defective (somehow)
Your installed your InvisibleShield wrong.
I received a Nexus 7 with "extra-sensitive" touchscreen (if something like this exists!)
Does anyone's protector seem a hair too big? A bit of it is going over the bezel. Will this thing shrink?

youre meant to let it dry...
capacitive screens work by reading the changes in the electrostatic field directly above the screen as you slide your fingers across it. using applicator fluid and the screen protector will restrict the range of the electrostatic field to underneath the screen protector until the screen protector dries. plus, you're putting water on an electronic device... generally not recommended to turn it on until the water's completely gone. it shouldve mentioned this in the installation instructions...
Anyone ever notice the glass looks like it's permeable on these touch devices? Lots of little holes.
But yes, water cuts the conductivity and will do so until completely dry, at least that is the result on this device.
Same results with most wet install screen protectors, it's not any particular brand being the problem... If you read the xoskins, skinomi and xtremeguard threads, people have the same exact "complaint"..
Let it dry man!
YMMV

Risk over heating an LCD, I wouldn't.
Besides trying to expedite drying time may cause trapped air bubbles that will take twice as long if ever to stick and will leave a ripple on the protector. YMMV

And out of the box received a phone with some unknown screen guard. I doubt the prints are because of this? Anyone removed this and experienced the phone without the guard? If so hows the default display, attracting prints or not?
Um... you do realize that the phone comes with a plastic screen protector pre-installed right? That preapplied one doesn't have oleophobic coating on it. Remove it and you should be good.

I removed mine after a day and I'm pretty sure the 3T comes with a really bad oleophobic coating. Compared to my other phones the 3T gets alot dirtier, alot faster than my other devices.
Anyone feeling the same way?
How picky can you be? wash your hands if you really care about smudges so much
By using mind control to navigate your phone, thus never having to touch it with your oily fingers ?

I wash my hand more than enough. That's not the issue. I just think it's sad the coating on this phone seems much worse than on other, but I really like the phone, so it's not like I'm gonna change it out.

And I have 5 other phones and 3 tablets, and all of them handled smudges and fingerprints better. That's why I'm asking.
And you can clearly see (on my phone) that up by the top, around the speaker, there are pretty much no fingerprints or smudges. And that's the only part where the screen protector that came with the phone didn't cover the screen.

Well you could try buying oleophobic coating on eBay and wipe it over the screen. It's cheap

The ones I've found is about $20. I might try one out. I actually used Sonax Liquid Hardwax that's used for cars on my tablet once. It did work pretty well so I think I'm gonna try that

I did it a couple of hours ago and I can really tell a difference. I tried it yesterday on my old Nexus 5 and had some trouble for the wax to stick on the surface of my Nexus 5. I was thinking it would be the same on my Oneplus, but interesting enough it stuck there really well. I guess that might just be because the lack of oleophobic coating on the Oneplus.. Either way it's better now, so you should try it if you have the chance
