ZAGG invisible shield screen protector video review

Hi guys, just wanted to share this video I made reviewing ZAGG's invisible sheild for the samsung galaxy ace.
Overall it is a great product, and I will highly recommend it. The only problem being that it is not a perfect fit, nevertheless it feels great and it is one of the few that offers a complete protection to the front, the back and the sides.
It only retails for $15 if you only want the screen cover, and $25 if you want the full body.
You can purchase the product in their website: http://www.zagg.com/

I searched google and many users complain about the resistive touch effect of the shield..What can you say about that?..

And what whit this corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list I think (I can't post it as url because I don't have eight posts)Ace have gorilla glass, but it isn't so indestructible how they say. I have on my Ace a small crack and my friend have on his Galaxy S a crack too.

Possibly. 1st gen or not. its not bullet proof . id take the screen protector just to be safe.

screen protectors tend to be rough in the beginning......but after few days we dont even feel they are there!!

[Q] galaxy s gorilla screen??

Well as youcan see from the title.. I am wondering if galaxy s i-9000 does have the gorilla screen protection. Has anyone confirmed this ? Or even better has anyone tested this and video taped it? It will really help me get over the paranoia of putting my phone in my pocket filled with coins and keys. Thanks

it does have gorilla glass.
Google it

Don't get over your paranoia just because it is gorilla glass doesn't mean it won't mark if you chuck it in beside keys and the like without a screen protector on it

My phone got a noticeable scratch but a cheap screen protector covers it really well.

[Q] Dropped SGA - cracked screen

Dropped it earlier on concrete, so is pretty damaged.
I believe it is only the glass screen that is broken as it responded to touch soon after incident, but hard to tell now as it just displays various different colours?
Will this fix it, regardless of whether the digitizer is broken?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digitizer-I...EMBLY-EVERYTHING/dp/B005OYAUZW/ref=pd_cp_ce_0
I assume I can just follow that tutorial and fix it?
Many thanks,

Buy a galaxy gio, its pretty durable, dropped it on the screen 7 times and still working!!

I can't evaluate the damage from your description but I agree with pancakes. I dropped my gio so many times that it is amazing the screen survived!

If you have broken the gorilla glass, getting a replacement can be tough. Just ask the service centre guys!

It isn't, my Ace has Gorilla Glass i have dropped it a lot more than 25 times NOT A SCRATCH well except the back panel lol.
There are cheap Ace's floting around that don't have Gorilla Glass and are probably made with faulty parts.
THIS IS Gorilla Glass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv4Llv3UedY AND THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyFt-8jUtx8 :victory:

I guess I have a faulty one, it scratches too fast.

Gorilla glass protects from minor scratches. It's not likely to sustain a meter drop.

It's not even anti-scratch you know, it's scratch "resistant"

Samsung galaxy Note and Note 2 got corning gorilla glass which is very very weak. 1 friend had 3 major scratches after 1 week of using his note 2. At my HTC gorilla glass is ok(tried with a cutter and keys). Gorilla glass is not made for drops., maybe scratches but no way for drops.

Well, mine has survived some falls from more than 1m high and is still almost intact.

Glass is always glass the more hard the substance is the easy its breakable. No matter what u do. Even bullet proof glass also breaks. Thats why the windows in the jets and rockets are plastic.

AFAIK,,
Unlike the popular legend Gorilla Glass does not make your phone invulnerable. It could not be scratched by materials that have lower hardness level but can be easily scratched by materials with higher hardness level such as sand or diamond.
And hardness only protects it from scratch. It does not protects from breaking which depends on a lot of physic factor.
So next time protect your phone and don't expect it to be unbreakable. Even a diamond can be cut. Hope it helps

Gorilla Glass Myths
Watch this video first: http://youtu.be/TfgKLwGnOZs
Gorilla Glass is an amazing product, it has an amazing ability to not break when impacted on the face, but when that pressure is placed on the wrong edge the distribution of the force can cause the glass to shatter so violently that it releases a spark. Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof and has no real protection from scratching, they add a anti-scratch coating to the surface to protect it. If you did NOT have Gorilla Glass, the alternative would be plastic which would scratch easier. It's not always the distance that the device falls as it is the angle it hits and the surface it lands on. I realize that to most people this won't make much sense, but if you understand physics and how it applies to the molecular structure of modern glass it all makes sense. Corning spent years analyzing broken iphone screens to develop Gorilla Glass 2 and each time they increase the properties and reduce the situations where it will shatter, people come along and exert more force and then question the quality or specifications of the product. Regular glass would have scratched or broken under a significantly less violent impact.

I dropped my note from 3 ft height maybe thousand time and the screen is ok
maybe the surface you dropped your note on is too hard with direct drop on the screen caused that
and why you replace the whole screen !! I am sure that your screen is working and your touch screen also
it is just the gorilla glass layer that is broken
and the gorilla glasse even it resists scratches but it is not enough to keep me from installing screen protector

my device note 1 today 2 meter drop on hard tiles but nothing broken

Yup dropped it on a tarmac faced down. Any sorts of protection wont help, considering the weight. :banghead:

please stop dropping expensive stuff, any type of scratch resistant glass can scratch (in this case a grain of sand) or break (even heavily tested Iphone glass)
It is just less inclined to do so
edit: I fel for the troll trap, darnet. the next person also, as he managed to rephrase what i said, what also has been said before me. I dub my and his remark the infinate troll loop. These threads bring out the worst in me. I will have to tame the inner troll like the hulk. Not sure if I can blame the Christmas alcohol anymore.

If you drop a phone, it is very likely to break. So expect it to do so, and if it doesn't, next time it will, no matter which glass it is made of.

Also, dropping the phone (or any such electronic gadgets) may cause hardware malfunction..may be immediate effect or in a long run..

Amazon but it come with the Note 3 screen protector too. No idea on the quality but it is a tad expensive. Not heard of the brand either.
I want to know what the screen is made of. Can you imagine how odd it is to wear a watch with a plastic screen protector on it?

Sources say the Gear comes with sapphire glass, which is very hard. I'm not planning on using a screen protector on the Gear.

Indeed. if it is true that the Gear has a sapphire glass then only a diamond can scratch it. Diamond rates 10 on the Mohs scale and sapphire glass a close 9. I collect watches and those with a sapphire glass simply don't scratch.
The only question I have in my mind is how on earth have Samsung managed to use sapphire glass?. The cost of such a watch crystal would be the total price of the watch. Sapphire watch glass is a small, or large, fortune!
This one puzzles me. Anyone seen an official Samsung written spec sheet stating sapphire as the crystal?
Best wishes.

On Amazon.com I see GG and GN3 bundled screen protectors and while the screen its saphire crystal the edge around it is metal so I would prefer not to scratch the metal up.
I did find Skinomi has one up by itself here http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-Tech...&sr=8-2&keywords=Galaxy+Gear+Screen+Protector

Just read the online Samsung manual and notice they specifically write NOT to use a screen protector on the gear.

I think they are talking about a screen saver like your computer has or some animated screen motion since it would just kill the battery.

"Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions."
Above taken from the manual

I read that also. Do not use a screen protector.

Well that clears it up, but the way the post I replied to was written and now edited are different. So no screen protectors, ok, I can live with that. But someone should really tell the damn screen protector companies otherwise they are going to wreck a lot of GG devices.

They also said not to use screen protectors in the Note 1 and Note 2 manuals.
The S Pen and touch works fine with screen protectors on.
I think they say more to cover their own butt.
If anyone does have a problem, then they can tell them to try without the screen protector first. They have no control over the quality of third party screen protectors or the materials used.

The screen is said to be made from sapphire crystal. With this in mind it will certainly not need a screen protector.
Gorilla glass by Corning or Dragontrail is hardened glass not sapphire so will need protection at present. Both manufacturers make it clear their glass is scratch resistant NOT scratch proof. The only material that can mark sapphire glass is diamond or, of course, a sapphire.
To give you an idea, on the Moh scale diamond scores 10, sapphire glass scores 9.
Hope this helps?
