You don't need screenprotector for this phone, bcuz i think it has gorilla glass. I've been using this phone for 8 months now, but still no scratches.
-----------------------------
Sent From,
PHONE: LG Optimus Black P970
ROM: Zeus v3.2N
KERNEL: Diana v0
ClockworkMod.

I bought and a couple of times they have saved my screen , I bought them on ebay on Italian sites, you must be careful to have this form, look at pictures in the link ,there are different types ,with few cutters are better.

I have to agree that there very few situations where screen protector will help at all.
Only if you actually grinding the screen on sand or metal edges there will be use.
In reality a silicon or TPE bumper will give you much better protection.
I mean the gorilla glass really WORKS on this phone, being so lightweight there is hardly any pressure when you put out down. Off out falls from high enough nothing will save it.
I only have couple of little scratches and they are self inflicted (cutter knife ) to see the actual force that starts to make visible damage.
P.s. And not to sound out of idea i actually had couple of protectors. One was utter rubbish and peeled within a week. The other was good, stuck alright and was hard (ish) enough but there was some obvious loss of sensitivity of the screen - more often undetected button touch, wrong button etc.
So ended taking it of.
I prefer some (possible) scratches but responsive screen and less reflection and natural colours.

I've been using on my phone a Clear screen protector for a month,
But the problem is that the screen protector isn't smooth and it's hard to slip the finger on this screen protector.
Therefore, I've purchased a matte screen protector, once I'll receive it, I will write a review about it, but I've already seen it, and it's so smooth.

I used to have a nice 20+€ screen protector on the phone for about two or three months, then it lost the touch after it gained a few scratches so I took it off and was going to buy a new one.. that was more than 3 months ago and still haven't needed a protector for my screen, over 3 months "unprotected" no bag no silicon, nothing and still 0 scratches. one doesn't really need a protector with this screen.

I had my phone since 1 month, it got some hardly noticeable scratches :S
It sucks... I have to get a screen protector now..

Got a screen protector with a silicon case from ebay for a few euros and the protector is already on it for 6 months and seems to be glued onto it (so excellent one) and the silicon case saved my phone a few times already from being seriously scratched or broken. Worth the few euros for sure, especially if you want to sell it one day (now it is still as new)!!!

I use screen protector. I bought 5 for a bunch of euros. Even with Gorila Glass it's never to much protection

I think we don't need any screen protector.. gorilla glass is too good on our black.. you can see many videos in youtube about gorilla glass durability

Been using 3$ anti-glare for all this time
So far so good

Anyone have tried the invisible shield full protection ?

I....use invisible shield.....from ZAGG.The screen protector is not so good.Its litle "sticky"wnen toy touch him.The all telephone is like "fake"on toch.But protetion is realy amazing..

after i read this thread, took out my screen protector form OB. Now my device looks as good as new. Forgotten how beautiful the screen is without screen protector on it.

Personally I like a anti fingerprint screen protector on my OB... I know gorilla glass is very nice and strong. but I hate it to be super smooth resulting in super sensitive touch. With a screen protector it is not so smooth and I can do some pin point accuracy on the touch screen.

i recomented this...:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3x-Clear-Sc...od=261030825807&ps=63&clkid=46302645163578749

No matter what CPU and other specs your phone have you will always look at the screen and I want the best of it. For that reason I'll rather take the risk of taking extra care of the naked screen than even a 5% compromise of screen clarity due to the screen protector. What's the point of the IPS technology if the cover will reduce it to normal LCD or Pentile quality.

Advantages and disadvantages of screen protector

Are there any advantages or disadvantages by putting screen protector on my galaxy ace. Heard that som epeople put them, and after they removed it, there stayed permanent damages.

I use a screen protector and have no issues. They used to effect the touchscreen, but newer capactive touch screens have no issues. They protect my screen from a lot of scratches.
A word of advice: buy the more expensive ones - their thicker and leave less bubbles.
When putting one on, do it from the longest edge. You'll be able to line it up better.

theres no real disadvantages. They tend to get grubbier than the screen would, but you dont get scratches (theres a lot of debate over wether the ace has gorilla glass, many sources say it does, but equally many, including samsung say it doesnt).
Advantages, well, saves scratches and once every month or so you change it and get to have a whole new phone all over again.
i actually tend to go with the short side first (generally starting at the button edge) and working up with a credit card.
i just buy a new rubberised case/screenprotector/stylus combi on ebay once a month.. keeps my phone pristine so when it comes to upgrade i can still get a decent price.
but anyway, there will be those that show you youtube videos of people attacking an ace with keys and not scratching, there will be others you tell you their screen got scratched while it was in their pocket.
I cant think of a valid argument for having one. If the girls says shes on the pill, you still wear a condom

personally have one original from Samsung for SGA from retailer since i bought my phone.. it feels pretty good to have a good protector screen remains smooth and no scratches at all.. actually my phone after cleaning dirt looks like just unboxed even after 9 months fell 2-3 times but nothing happened anywhere

The way I look at it is that if you don't mean to beat your phone up, you shouldn't need a screen protector. The galaxy ace comes with gorilla glass and mine hasn't been scratched since I got it in November. I've accidentally dropped it screen down a few times too.
Either way its your choice. Just my 2 cents

Its a must have, no questions asked.

theres a lot of confusion over gorilla glass, samsung dont say it has, gorilla glass says it does.
But, worth remembering. Gorillla glass is SCRATCH RESISTANT, not scratch proof.
For the sake of a couple of dollars, why not have a protector anyway.

Well I see your point there. So yeah, it's not a bad investment. I just wish I could find a mirrored one But you're right, in the long run it will probably be worth it. Just like a case, we don't mean to drop our phones, but it's definately a worth it

no brainer
If your phone gets a scratch without a protector then your gonna have to look at that scratch till upgrade time...............
If you phone gets a scratch with a screen protector then its easy to replace the flimsy bit of plastic
Just put it on and forget about it.

I have a plastic cover on my Ace's screen and it works like a charm. Screen is still brand new too. I actually stabbed my phone with a knife to see how good it was. The plastic has a hole but the screen is still epic
And its not even a hole, its just a little dot. The plastic barely gets scratched too. Its a win-win situation.

Can you post a picture of this please. I just want to see how it looks and then I can purchase it from eBay or a Local Retailer. It sounds to be a Good value for money product

Its not noticeable its nothing bad it just protects your screen with out making a massive fusd, justbiy one you won't regret it.
Sent from my GT-S5830,Problem?

Knife your unprotected screen, there won't be a scratch either. Gorilla glass doesn't scratch easily.
The screen protector serves a more useful purpose at making the screen smoother, less reflective, and retain less fingerprints.

Erm....gorilla glass.....no scrathes!Unless u realy don't care for ur phone!

I guess accidents doesnt exist in your perfect world.
However, someone in the first page said to buy the more expensive ones, thats just a load of bull. Cheap ones from ebay work just as good. These screen protectors cost 0.1$ to manufacture so that's why they're able to make money even if they sell em cheap.
edit: 0.12$ to be more exact

I don't use any screen protector.
Glas don't scratches like the old touchscreens
which react react pressure.

As per my opinion there is not any disadvantage for using screen protector.It always protect your screen from scratches.

Why?
I'll never understand screen protector users. Our phone has Guerrilla Glass, designed so you DON'T need a screen protector, and it works. I've never had a screen protector on my Ace, or any of my phones for that matter, and none of my screens have scratches or marks.
My Ace Screen looks like it just came out of the box, and it has been dropped, and I have even tested the durability of the screen by trying to scratch it with a knife, keys, and sand paper... and it still looks brand new.
Screen protectors make the phone screen feel less slick and smooth, and they are difficult to put on and remove without air bubbles all while staying centered. You can't even force out most air bubbles with a credit card or flat edge. They also make the screen less responsive, although this isn't much of an issue with capacitive touch screens anymore, it still happens if your protector is too thick.
What are you doing that you need a protector? I carry my keys and stuff in one pocket and my phone in the other, and even if they are in the same pocket, none of my phones have ever been scratched by anything in my pocket...

[REVIEW] Buff Ultimate Shock Absorption Screen Protector

Hey guys,
I just recently bought this screen protector from Buff and thought i'd share my experience with you. It costs $24.99 from Amazon, although, I bought it for much cheaper at my local phone store. It came in a descent packaging and I think, even though I had never heard of them before, it did give me the confidence to go ahead and get one. Anyhow, lets get down to it.
Package includes:
1 x Screen Protector
1 x Squeegee Card
1 x Microfibre
1 x Instruction Leaflet
Application:
It was a dry application so it was fairly easy to apply without the need for additional equipment. The squeegee that came with it was good enough to push out some of the bubbles. According to their website, you don't have to worry much about the bubbles, especially the stubborn ones as they tend to disappear around 24-48 Hours after applying. Although, their website also states that you can use a blow dryer to speed up the process, I personally find this unnecessary. Additionally, at other times when i do notice dust particles during application, I simply use a mini spray bottle, filled with water, at the affected part and simply force it out using the squeegee. Furthermore, If you were to do this then i would recommend doing this by either leaving on the protective sticker during or wrapping the microfiber around the squeegee to avoid damaging the screen protector in anyway.
Fitting:
As you can see from the photos, the top part does not go all the way around the speaker grill. I presume, this was done intentionally to avoid any interference between the screen protector and the sensors. However, I have never experienced issues with other protectors that do cover the sensors and the camera...ohwell maybe given the thickness/material of this thing, it does make a difference. But we'll speak about that in a bit.
The sides and bottom part are, in my opinion, a perfect cut for those certain few enthusiasts who like to switch between casings on a regular basis. As you can see, the Samsung Protect Cover+, does not interfere with it whatsoever from any of the edges.
Feel/ Protection:
In my opinion, this has got to be the exception here. I've read that there are quite a alot of haters for the Zagg invisible shield screen protectors and some have mentioned that the feel of the Buff is no different. However, I find that its really not the case. Don't get me wrong here it does feel somewhat rubbery, and although my initial thought on it was disappointing, after a few hours of using my phone I got the hang of it. I could slide my finger across the screen without experiencing much of the grippy feel almost as good as a naked screen.
Now, with the use of Spen it does require a tad bit of getting use to, and although its not as smooth as the ordinary screen protector, its still usable...provided that you wipe the screen clean of any oily or dried smudges.
Heres the good part - its pretty easy to clean and not so easy to scratch, in fact, it is even harder to scratch compared to any other screen protector out there. And if you did manage to scratch it then you need to seriously consider changing your lifestyle
I found that the microfiber provided or my shirt was more than adequate to wipe off any smudge with just a few rubs. Usually I would use an LCD cleaner but in this case i found that to be unnecessary.
According to the manufacturers website it consist of Four different layers, however, I personally think they're full of crap with regards to this info. Now this thing is thick in comparison to other protectors but still not enough to be noticed but just enough to make me wonder if all those videos they've posted are credible.
I mean they've tried almost everything you can imagine to break that glass and it still came out sparkling...hammering, throwing a red brick on it, COFFEE MUG, etc you name it. Check out the video here to judge for yourself.
Clarity:
Now I think the best way to describe this is that it is somewhere in between the clarity of an anti-glare and a crystal clear screen protector. I noticed a somewhat very faint rainbow effect one that you usually notice from an anti-glare protector. It seems to be less noticeable under direct sunlight for some reason but it becomes apparent in a dark environment especially when you crank up the screen brightness and pay close attention.
Conclusion:
This is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. But if you do decide to get it, you can be assured that you can place your cup of tea on your phone and not have to worry as much about smashing that screen to bits. Additionally, its hard to scratch meaning you probably wouldn't have to worry about changing your screen protector every few months or so like the usual, but it comes down at the expense of having that slight rubbery feel to it. Nevertheless, its still worth getting if you find yourself to be one of those overly protective individuals.
PROS:
- Easy to apply
- A good fit all around
- hard to scratch
- Cheaper in the long run since its hard to scratch
- smooth to use with fingers
CONS:
- produces tiny rainbow effect similar to an anti-glare protector
- not so smooth with Spen when screen is smudged.
- expensive - considering some brands offer x2 screen protectors for the same price.

Good write up! Just out of curiosity I went to their website to find out thickness rating of this film. Typically cheap screen protector film is 2H (ebay junk for $0.99), while quality PET film is 3H (like iSmooth and Spigen for $10-$15 a pack), and tempered glass is 9H (like VITREO or MIME $30-$40). This one you have looks somewhere in between PET film and tempered glass in thickness. It wasn't mentioned anywhere on their website. As a matter of fact, they don't even go into details of which phone they cover or where to buy it. I checked it out on Amazon, and the cut in the picture looks totally different from what you have described. Kind of strange.

yea I had a look at their website too and it seems they're somewhat disorganized with their method of distribution. Although their marketing isn't so bad with regards to the videos theyve posted they have still got to mention the hardness and they've got to seriously provide more info to potential customers on the varieties and the availability of their product line. I bought mine from a local store so I've never really bothered checking their website earlier on availability. However, it feels like the surface hardness is about 3-4H, compared to the cheap ones youve mentioned from eBay. I would say their main highlight for this is in its ability to absorb and disperse shocks effectively rather than its resistance to scratches.

Absolutely, a good point!

Hi people, my buff screen has just five months of use, and it is becoming dark. It has been annoying me, mainly considering my GS3 is white.
What can I do to solve this question? Is there some product that I may use to have the clarity and the transparency of my screen back or should I remove the shield and lose my money?
Thank you.

I would recommend sending the company an email stating your situation and then following up with a warranty claim to replace it. The most you can do is use an LCD lens cleaner but I doubt that will help.

But this screen protector isnt anything like glass. Its hardness isnt anywhere close to glass. The part I do like about this screen protector is that its meant to be reusable, so if it does manage to peel off you can always wash, dry and stick it back on.

It's a temporary screen protector, just toss it and buy another one. 5 months is a lifetime for some of these cheapo screen protectors.

+1!! Unless you buy a screen protector with a lifetime warranty, then 5 months of use is pretty good....
If you're wanting to buy one with a lifetime warranty that does NOT feel rubbery like Zagg does, check out Ghost Armor. That's the brand I always use on my tablets, and the Note 2 is the first phone I've used Ghost Armor on. I've had a GA clear front and back on one tablet for about 1.5 years now and it hasn't discolored in any way, lost any clarity, and doesn't have a single scratch on it! Highly recommend Ghost Armor for the feel, durability, and cost related to those things. GA isn't cheap, but well worth every penny that you spend!!!

Well in India we are getting it really cheap just rs 200-250 dats arnd 4 dollar I wonder how amazon selling it at such high price and I even found the protector to be doing a great job and even after few month of use the spen even feels smooth on the screen guard .
I am very happy with this product n would recommend to all if u get it at low price

beyond frustrated please help with a screen protector see below..

I've tried plastic, wet install, and glass..... Glass was the best in terms of clarity but much more of a finger print magnet than the original glass underneath. And more reflective... The wet install one showed the spent marks.. At this rate I'll spend more on screen protectors than a replacement screen.... Please send your recommendations. Thanks

Lol. There are like 10 screen protector threads here already !

Feel your pain. I've done all what you have except for trying the glass ones.
Here is my experience. Get wet applied plastic one that is harder than the usual wet applied ones. A person on another thread recommend a Walmart Onn brand , I used it and it didn't leave S Pen marks at all. However, it was a ***** to fit correctly, so I being OCD I removed it and went back to the usual wet applied one again that does leave S Pen marks.
I believe Tech21 makes a screen protector similar in characteristics as the Walmart ONN one . Ain't tried that yet. But I can tell you that if the the Walmart ONN screen protector was applied correctly then I'd still be a fan.

So your criteria would be: best protection available without fingerprints, reflections, or s-pen marks? Might be tough without compromising a bit on one of those aspects. I've tried 2 cheap glass ones that I took off immediately, the Spigen film protectors that leave s-pen marks, and the Whitestone Dome which which was best for me of the bunch (no s-pen marks of course, and no fingerprint issues so far. Haven't paid attention to reflection issues as of yet). The new Zagg glass looks promising too...ymmv

I like Skinomi. You get some s pen marks but they go away overnight. I use the spen alot too, it's my preferred way to interact with the screen.

Go naked and live with it. I have been there, where you say to be and feel your pain. I just gave up and live with it. In case I really manage to break or badly scratch it, I will have to get a new one or live with it. All is better than the smudgy protectors giving a bad feeling to the touch and a bad view.

Beach and sand indeed is an issue. I do not live on the beach but was there last summer (S8+, no pen, easier situation) and was so glad to have a film protector on it.
Bite the bullet and get a Whitestone dome?

If I may offer an alternative suggestion? I did not even want to risk the screen protector lottery on this phone, so I took a different approach.
I have used a case with a built-in screen protector. I feel it gives me the best of both worlds; ultimate protection from drops and screen damage when out and about, and in a couple of seconds (when at home and the soft safety of my sofa), it can be out of its case and back to a slippery naked unblemished masterpiece.

Cons:
Minor reduction in finger sensitivity at the edges.
Adds significant bulk, especially in width making one-handed use impractical
Screen protector picks up scratches after a few months
Wearing polarised sunglasses makes screen hard to see (rainbow effect)
Be certain inside of screen cover is clear of grit before fitting
Pros:
Zero reduction in S Pen sensitivity.
Phone is tank-like. Has survived drops onto solid concrete no problem.
Screen protector can be popped out and used just as case if desired.
Dust caps for charging and headphone sockets
Easy to take off and have naked phone
It all balances out IMO. It might not be a perfect solution, but it is mine and I am happy with it.

I would advise against it, especially in a sandy environment. It WILL find a way in and then have a party with your screen. Also, in my personal opinion, this is way too bulky.
Personally, I am using a pitaka case. I am also having a thin, blank film on the back because ofscrarch protecting the back.

i'm using the official one for S8+ and it's very good, the s-pen does not leave any mark

I have used all types and found my favorite to be the tech21. No sensitivity issues, screen is clear, no spen marks, and decent with dealing with fingerprints. I couldn't use another after using this one.

Wouldn't it be just nice if Samsung offered a factory glass screen protector as an option when buying these devices. I'm sure they are aware of customers concerns - surely they have the technology to be able to do this, albeit probably not financially viable hence no go.

Question Did you remove your preinstalled screen protector?

Really curious. It's next to impossible to get a replacement here in the states. Does it bother you, or have you left it on? Please respond with your logic as well as answering the poll.

Mi 11 series all have similar screen. Considering early release of mi 11, it shouldn't be a big issue. I received a glass protector in 10 days from China.

And why would you remove it? Is bad?

It depends how you use your phone.
If you "baby" it you should be more than fine.
On my mi9 i have removed for the past year or more. I only have one or two very fine scratches and those are from some drops
So yeah, on general use and being a bit careful ( using a case that would prevent the screen to make contact to the surface) you should be perfectly fine.
I personally have the one that came with the phone still on and will remove it when it gets worn out.

Thanks for this tip. I did a quick look up on GSM arena. Screens seem to be identical size and shape. I went ahead and ordered two packs of protectors from Amazon. They'll be here Sunday.
My original protector got caught on the edge of a dog cage in the most unfortunate scenario ever. My phone was okay but the screen protector had a huge gash in it.
I've gone with no protector for about a week. I've collected one tiny scratch that can only be seen with the screen off and the light hitting it just the right way. I've babied this thing so I'm not sure how it happened. Either way Gorilla glass victus hasn't impressed me all that much.

oleophobic coating on this screen protector is iiiiinsane ! I surprised that no one said that yet. But I hate sharp edges on it.... Gestures and that no good together

I've gone with no protector for about a week. I've collected one tiny scratch that can only be seen with the screen off and the light hitting it just the right way. I've babied this thing so I'm not sure how it happened. Either way Gorilla glass victus hasn't impressed me all that much.

Curved screens are a flawed design imo
This is what I would classify as a highly breakable device
Between the weight of it and the slab of glass on the back and the wrap around screen your nearly guaranteed a breakage no matter what side it lands on.....
Gorilla glass Victus is junk compared to whatever is on the iPhone 12 pro
In every drop test I've watched the android phone with Victus smashed and the iPhone survived.... although the iPhone has the benefit of being flat

Yeah ditched the screen protector as soon as I got it.
It looks like a peel off screen protector which you get on new devices.
Colors and sharpness improves a bit and the touch is not plastic feel.

I like the screen protector. It feels almost the same like OnePlus7 Pro without a screen protector.
I keep it as long as possible

Hello do you need to remove originally pre installed plastic film protection before putting a newly bought tempered glass ?? Thanks for answering

Hi - I would not use 2 screen protectors at the same time. So if you want to put tempered glass on you should remove the preinstalled one. Otherwise you can get difficulties with the touch screen. I myself removed the preinstalled immediately and installed another (better) on.

Remove it or not eventually it will come off, better get hands on some tempered glass to protect those expensive curvy screen.

i dropped my phone about a week after buying it, was sick to stomach until i realized that the preinstalled screen protector was cracked but not the actual phone. im pretty sure it saved the phone

Many people think that pre-aplied screen protector is a feature therefore, they expect to see a better quality option. In reality, due to strict laws of EU and return policy of retailers such as Amazon, they want phone to be as much refurbishable as possible with given protection . That is why, we get a cheap quality phone case and screen protector that can barely live 4 weeks of legal limit and are really ugly non-characteristic additions. They have to make it looking boring because other case producers have to earn money too. So, my suggestion is change the original screen protector with a liquid self-repair one and buy a sturdy case for your own sake.

I don't see why you would wanna do that unless it breaks or you wanna install a better sturdier screen protector, keep the old one if it doesn't bother you.
