Has anybody tried the invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG on the Bioinc yet?
Any ideas of how the screen might look like with invisibleSHIELD on it? any past experiences of the product?
In my opinion, ghost armor is MUCH better. Aside from being a superior material, the cuts are designed so much better, they lay flush and protect every aspect of the phone possible.
Plus ghost armor has kiosks. Have one of the dudes there do it. They are much better at it. I have had perfect installations at the mall by me.

Plus ghost armor has matte material, so you can have the back done in matte and the Bezel done in regular shiny material

Problem is, that I cant find any ghost armor shops. I looked them up online but it looks like they only have locations in the Tri state area. Or am I looking at the wrong place?

Finally got the Ghost Armor skins in at the kiosks. Beats the hell out of Zagg protectors. Full body and screen only are both available. Mine is super shiny now!

Looks like exactly the same thing as Invisible Shield to me. What's the difference?
I've owned both Ghost Armor and Zagg on many different devices. I've found that Zagg has a rubbery feel and yellows out in about 6 months or so. No such problems on my Nexus One that has been covered in Ghost Armor since I got it a month after it was released.
My MacBook Pro, Nexus One, and Nexus S are all Ghost Armored. Next up is my Nook Color.
Various pics of my Nexus S in Ghost Armor. Some of the pics are a little dusty. This is about 24 hours after it was done. No bubbles or "orange peeling." I'm pleased.

Interesting. I'll be curious to see how my Invisible Shield looks at that time.
It's definately better than nothing. I haven't tried the BSE pretoectors yet either but I hear people like them. I still think the Ghost Armor is smoother, but still has the non slip surface I want.
The one for my MacBook is full body, including the trackpad. If it was covered with Zagg I would have been driven bonkers weeks ago because of the slight rubbery feel.
Blue Acid,
Looking at your pics, it looks like Ghost Armor doesn't have the same texture as the InvisibleShields ("orange-peel" texture). Is this true?
I'm debating between these and Clarivue, which I believe has a slick texture vs. rubbery/friction.
How do these screen protectors work with swype?

Does anyone know where I can buy Ghost Armor in the UK?? Is there a UK site that sells Ghost Armor products?
They have a site but don't sell the matte version I want. Had it on my evo and it was sweet... just google ghost armor

It is much smoother than Zagg. Haven't tried any other protectors other than Zagg and Ghost Armor.
GA is almost as smooth as the glass itself. At certain angles you can see the slight ripples of the protector but you can't feel it.
My roommates both have Vibrants with GA and they handle Swype just fine.

Granted, it'd fairly cold out and in my house as well but how long did it take for your skin to fully dry? I'm still getting a little screen door and some bubbles on the case battery door. Love the fit but my touch screen is a little unresponsive. Seems my back button especially has this issue. I didn't use the phone for about 8 hours after I installed this. It seems great quality and it feels so much better than the zagg. I'm hoping my back button didn't just start acting up. On my 5th nexus here.

Mine was bubble free and done the same day. Gave it 24 hours to firm up fully. The Ghost Armor people have a machine they use to heat the whole skin up so the bubbles are gone immediately.
Does it cover the gloss black rim around the front of the phone?

Mind posting pictures? I've been reading about issues with smudges and such and I decided I'd do some research into screen protectors. I had one on my Epic but it was the Zagg one and it felt crappy. I like the feel of the smooth glass but I do understand that I can't expect one to be that perfect but from what I'm reading this would be my best shot.
Bump for pictures hehe

I've seen lots of cheap screen protectors on eBay. I just want something that's smooth and feels like the glass on the device. I don't want something rubbery like invisible shield or has the matte anti glare surface that feels like notbook paper and scratches easily. Any suggestions on a brand or seller to look for?
Thanks!

You guys outta try the screen protectors from Smartphone Experts from the Android Central Store. I have used them on my Inspire and they are great. After 2 months of use in a tire shop there are no scratches on the protectors. Easy application and they are available for the Thrill. They are $12.95 for a pack of 2, but they are worth it.

And skinomi has the smooth glass-like texture? I see on eBay there's a full body protector. If the $3 Xtremeguard body protector doesnt seem to work I may get that.
So just got the Spigen Case and Screen Protector, both are awesome! Put the screen protector on as soon as I opened the box, not a single bubble/issue at all.....
So far so good, just thought I should pass this along!

Clemc.... I too odered the Spigen(sp?) screen protector. I messed the first one up so badly that I threw it away.... If they just made that thing a teeny bit smaller than the screen, it would go on alot easier..... I'm going to take the second (and last) protector to Best Buy this weekend... There's a guy there who is great at installing screen and full body protectors.
I ordered the OtterBox Commuter case.... It offers great protection, especially around the screen. Biggest downside is it makes the Note much heavier, and it's a pain to put on and remove.

Hi,
As I changed my Gel case for a thin TPU one, I now have a small problem
I'm using a budget screen cover and all around it, there is a 3 to 5 mm zone where there isn't any protection.
I didn't notice it earlyer as the case was a lot more thick...
Could you please advise me a clear screen cover which is closer to the border of the phone ?

Funny just received my skinomi for note 2, it covers the entire screen. S-pen works, don't press to hard to void the squeak.
I have used skinomi for every gadget I own, but I since I have a cruzerlite case I need a screen protector that does not cover the entire screen.

You may want to check out the Just Like Glass. I haven't seen or used it myself, but the CEO does come on here and discusses the product.
From what he says, it's designed to leave 1/16" around the phone so people can use it with cases, such as a TPU, and not have the case push on the edge of the protector, per user requests. Sometimes, the cases push the protector up, which can lead the dirt getting under it or peeling.
I'm going to order one when they become available again, which is expect next week. I'm coming from using Zagg protectors the last four or so years.
That sounds great! Exactly what I need. I'm gonna have a look at it

Most screen protector manufacturers don't go all the way to the edge because of the rounded glass samsung used. I can attest to this, you don't want a protector up that far on the glass, because it will peel after a few times going in and out of your pocket. I only had this happen with wet application protectors (Ghost Armor and Zagg HD are two I used, both failed). I switched to SGP's Ultra Crystal, which feels like the original glass and doesn't reach the rounded part.
What are the best options for screen protectors right now? Has anyone tried the spigen ultra crystal for the g2, i have had good experiences with them in the past. I know that with my galaxy nexus the glass was curved so much that a normal screen protector couldn't fit across the entire screen and the wet apply screen protectors were a mess and looked horrible. Does the g2 have the same problem?
I was wondering the same thing. Anyone bought a screen protector they're happy with? Not a big fan of the wet application type
I used one of the wet application ones from Phantom Skinz (sp?) on my Nexus. It worked so well that I plan on ordering one for the G2.
I actually got the ones from T-Mobile and was quite surprised on how much I like them! They are a dry application, very easy to install, not sticky at all (feel very much like the natural surface before the screen protector), and what I like most...very, very clear and fingerprint and smudge resistant. The only downside is they are a little bit more than I usually spend on screen protectors, $17 for 2.

Wow that seems like a good sign, the best screen protector is one that you can't tell is on the phone. I'm curious, how much of the screen does it cover and do you have any pictures of it installed that you could share?
I got the only one that AT&T stocked. It's a glossy as opposed to an anti glare but the fit and finish is spot on and I can't even tell it's there. Very pleased.
/except for the glossy part
I picked up a few screen protectors from xtreemguard .com. pretty much the same thing as best skins ever. Used code fall80 for 80 percent off. Order was 3 bucks for shipping and two screen. Shipping was fast. Not amazing but definitely the best under $10.
I'm currently rocking the XOSkins wet application screen protector and like it so far.

I have the iloome flex tempered glass screen protector on order so I picked up the Supershieldz off ebay (6 for $5 shipped) as a hold over. They're dry application, fit well, and have decent clarity. Probably not terribly different from most plastic films, but man it hazes up from fingerprints like nothing else. I cleaned it off today with rubbing alcohol and it has already picked up some mild scratches. Guess you cant expect too much for less than a buck per screen protector.

I use the Spigen Ultra Crystal. My third phone whith them. Would not use any other. It actually seems just a tad small but I guess that leaves room for a case. It leaves about an 1/8 of an inch around the sides.
I use to pay the big money for ZAGG. When I bought my G2 (9/12) there wasn't anyone that had screen protectors, so I bought the 3 pack from VZW. I still have the first one on, and no issues. Paid like 10 bucks. It works fine for me.

Do the sides have any problems with the edges? And are you using a case with it?

I bought the overpriced crap from Verizon and they just peeled up with the gel case I bought from them too. Ordered the 80% off xtreme skins or whatever they're called and they're great. Fit nicely under the case. Only gripe I have is the screen isn't as slick as the ones from Verizon or the actual screen.
Well this time I just tried a bit different.... its not Zagg one...its not Spigen..but this time I tried Privacy at Fommy.....
heard a lot about it from one of my friend and after wearing it on my G2.. I can say that the thing it says..it delivers..now I can easily check out my official mails at crowded place and am not worried about the guys standing around me as its not visible to them..that is something I really like about it and moreover it is very finely gripped on the phone and does not even give the feel as If I have placed something on the screen.....I know its quite new one but I am liking this product...
Go with the iloome tempered glass protector I had one on my note 2 it works great and it curves to the edges

Just wanted everyone to know that I picked up these from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EL94VPQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and although they fit well, the adhesive is too weak and they are slightly too big. The is a little lifting around the edges but the poetic case does not interfere with it.
I use these:
