Who rocks their Nexus S without a screen protector?

Who does not use a screen protector on their nexus s? My invisishield just got really bad so I took it off. I think I will get a new one but who doesn't use one at all? You have any scratches?

I don't use one. Have had my NS for 13 days and no scratches yet!

Why would you use a screen protector? It would totally negate the amazing oliophobic coating that makes this device so special

Ive never had a screen protector on this phone, and ive had it since the day it came out. Not a single scratch on the screen.
Of course now that i say that im going to scratch it tonight.

Had mine since release, not one scratch...on the screen.

I have a ghost armor screen protector and have been wanting to go no SP. Only thing stopping me are the painful pictures I've seen of the oleophobic coat wearing off.

I've had my Nexus One for about a year. I have a couple scratches on my screen even with Gorilla Glass. The scratches are definitely from keys. I also have a few nicks on the body. I went a month with a pouch/case and screen protector but after about a month I realized how you totally lose the design of a phone with cases'. So I think when I get my Nexus S, Im gonna use a pouch and just rock my phone fully NAKED, who cares if you scratch the screen or the body, Its just a phone. In about a year when your going to sell it, its already dated and worth little to nothing, How much is a 6/10 condition Nexus One Vs a 9/10 Nexus One?

im looking for a pouch too. i love the way the stock phone feels on my hand.
i'm not using any screen protectors for about a month, and no scratch till now

Because there are small spots on my screen where the coating is gone (or seems that way anyways). There are others who have experienced this also in the big "oleophobic coating" topic. It can only be seen under light in a certain angle, but it's definitely there. The screen protector negates the effect so I don't see it anymore. Weird, but that's why I use a screen protector.

No screen protector. No scratches either

I don't use a screen protector, had my phone since the week it was launched in the UK and I don't have any scratches on it.
I always think they look rubbish, no matter how neatly they are put on.

i dont even use one on my evo, unless your working in the trades I dont think most people will benefit from using a protector

No screen protector since day 1 in december, no scratches either despite some bad drops on concrete which have dented the plastic around the screen.
Glass is tough!

I think building up a castle around a phone is "iPhone user style"

Screen Protector!!!

Hey guys! I know the phone is still new but have you guys gotten you're hands on any good screen protectors for our phones? Clear, anti finger print, anti glare etc. let me know guys share you vast knowledge!!
Me personally I'm using the screen protector that comes with the phone when purchased haha! I noticed it was fading from being used so i ended up rubbing all the text off now i have a pretty decent screen protector to last me until i get heavy duty one!

I may be alone in this, but I think screen protectors are overrated. The biggest danger to the screen is shattering and no screen protector will prevent that. Unless you have diamonds in your pockets I cannot imagine scratching it without breaking it completely. .

That is a good point, which would go more towards purchasing a case rather than a screen protector, though i have a major pet peeve when it comes to my screen having any sort of scratch..let alone cracks..but IMO i do believe having a well made screen protector on or screens do provide a lesser chaw of getting cracks if the device were to drop!

I am using the gadget guard screen protector, i really like it it is heavy duty, anti glare, and anti finger prints, very easy to install, can be installed with wet or dry installation. It was a little hazy yesterday when i installed it, but really clear today, took about twelve hours to clear up after wet install. But only using it till my otterbox comes in.

I agree with you about screen protector being uselessly, but with phone being so new you have to order a case, because my att store one had one, and it was for women, and the screen protector is a nice peace of mind till the case comes in.

So I just received the skinomi and got it installed. No pictures though sorry!
It was very easy to install. Came with liquid, squeege, and cloth!
It is very clear. Pretty much like the invisible shields if you have ever seen those.
Feel is also not that bad.
Fit is perfect and goes from corner to corner very well!
For less than 10 dollars on Amazon it is the best screen protector you can get.

I was using invisishield protector for a few a months. Was a pretty decent protector. Didn't tear, anti glare and all that jazz. I ended up taking it off about 4 months ago because the protector itself was scratched and to be honest, since I removed it I've been asking myself why I bought one in the first place. 4 months later, not a single scratch and I think I have enjoyed the phone more without it. Screen is clear, sharp and bright and still without scratches. Often put in my pocket with keys, lighter and other hazardous materials for out phones.

Generally, for the average person, I agree. But I work in dusty/sandy environments and every phone I have ever owned ends up with scratched on the screen, gorilla glass or otherwise.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might get a normal screen protector to put below the built-in one on the otterbox and see if that reduces the sensitivity for me.

Do we really need a screen protector?
The gorilla glass is already there right?

same here, what will be the point in selling a super scratch free 2 years old obsolete phone .....
just like the slightly scratched glass on my iphone 3gs I gave to my kids as an ipod touch

I see I'm in the minority here but screen protectors just don't have the same smoothness as the gorilla glass. Coming from a Samsung Impression it felt like I was running my fingers on silk. And after 4 months of always being on my person I can attest gorilla glass is pretty kick ass. I've dropped the phone onto a gravel street and got very minimal damage. Now mind you the phone bounced, landed and skidded about 10' on the kevlar back so maybe it was just a small miracle it didn't shatter. But the only damage was a small knick in the glass on the top corner away from the touch screen and a small dent in the metal around the face. The kevlar took no damage at all. I've also had in a pocket with loose change and keys with no effect.
Now maybe I'm just lucky but the kevlar backing and silky smooth touch of the gorrilla glass as opposed to having to change screens and getting a bulky case that won't fit the HD dock just aren't comparable.

I go a couple of scratches on my screen, probably from it being dropped in the gym and all that good stuff. I went ahead and got a Zagg screen protector off amazon. It's not too bad for the 10 bucks I spent.

Well I haven't had any other screen protectors apart from this one so I can't give a comparison on the smoothness.
I never put one on the screen since I hate screen protectors, but I only used the for the back
And used the screen one for other devices.
Anyway I don't think you should use a screen protector with the gn2 since there is the spen. I don't know if that is good for the wacom digitizer!

yeah i saw the Manual thingy :/
But you know for a 750$ gadget you are better safe than sorry

Any of these screen protector will damage your pen. So do yourselves a favor and go on ebay and buy a pack of those cheap plastic 3 layer protectors. I buy them in packs of 5 or 10 and they're cheap and I only change them maybe once every year or 6 months because I never scratch my phone. But regardless the screen protector is smooth, so no damage to the pen or the phone. And no liquid either. So all is good there. But these invisible shield screen protectors are good for backs and sides!

****, $5 for 2 full body kits. Yep, I ordered... and free shipping too............

2 screen protectors for $2.50, no complaints! If nothing else, they'll hold me over until I get a glas.t. Best-case scenario, I end up liking them, and they don't interfere with the S Pen.

Ordered some of these a few months ago and they made the screen all grippy and un-smooth, did not like...

Actually, they are currently on sale. 4 full body packs only cost $5 right now. I only bought 2 full body packs and spent only $2.50 with the 75off2 coupon code (thanks op!). That includes taxes and shipping and handling. Really there is no better deal, and I expect them to suck but will tide me over until the Spigen Glas.tR comes out in a few weeks. For $2.50 what do you really have to lose?

anyone got their's yet? curious to see if these really affects the spen functionality

Used a similar product with my Note 1 and I can confirm it had no effect on the S-pen.
My only grudge with it is that it takes ages to apply and the corners eventually peel off after a few months (I keep trimming them back lol).
Great protection against scratches though and adds nothing to bulk/weight.
I also like the rubbery/grippy feel it adds too

They are probably referring to the screen protector that has a patented sand-paper type coating, that has been specifically designed to weather down the S-pen during use and provide maximum obscurity of the screen. This will then allow you to become frustrated at the S-pen's inability to withstand such stupid abuse.

Exactly. I had a tablet, made by Compaq HP, and it had a stylus (a stylus I still use today because it's just fantastic) and I got an Invisible Shield for it, and it was SO HARD to write smoothly because it was so tacky on the screen I had to take it off since i got the tablet to be used as a writing tablet! So I don't use those anymore on my touch screen devices.

No Sony Xperia Otterbox case?

G'day everyone,
I've been told that Otterbox is not making any cases for the Xperia Z,
Which is very annoying as thats the case thats perfect for me as im a Tradesman.
Is there any cases out there that are similar to the otterbox defender case for the xperia z?
I cant find much topics regarding this, basically its a case with three parts, the screen protector plate, the front plate and the back plate which is very thick as i need it for work.
I've had the phone for about 3 days now - not opened due to not having a good case for my work... its killing me haha....
Basically this is the Otterbox case for the Iphone:

I remember reading somewhere that otterbox were going to make a case for the Z but that was a while ago, the casemate tough case is a great option and use a high quality screen protector to protect there.

Yeah I messaged otterbox myself regarding it, they haven't made one "yet" and they'll let me know if any progress of a case for Xperia z is going to be taken up. I highly doubt they will be making one as its been a bit since the phone was released. Although I decided to order the tough case-mate case, as that's the best "rugged" one I have found so far, even though there isn't much too choose from sadly.
Dying to try out the phone, while waiting for the case mate to be delivered I bought a normal TPU case because I can't wait any longer... as its just sitting sealed on my desk for a good week now... I'm actually impressed that I haven't opened it yet lol.

It's real glass with 9H, it will last quite a while if you don't abuse it with constant drops. It's also rounded on the edges so it has a fairly good resistance to little chips from ocasional bumps.
No clue about the oleophobic layer, so far so good as in the first day.
I have the glass for a couple months now and it's exactly the same as in the first day i bought it, Hoping it will last for 5-6 months in pristine condition it will be a major good buy as the price it's quite afordable and the touch feeling of glass is absolutely amazing, seems the fingers just glide through the screen.

It lasts as long as you want, I broke the first one because I wasn't careful enough while putting the phone in the dock, so if you have a dock be cautions when you're about to charge your phone. Don't be scared tho, I got my second protector, been using it with the dock without a problem. But if I'm not careful enough it might break again. It won't really break, just crack (Which is essentially the same but still..)

I've checked out that case, being a metal case could be a problem for me, as I do work with electrical, as well the data speed can get annoying. I decided to get the case-mate and see how that goes. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just follow the instructions, it's quite simple tbh and much easier not to mess up compared to film/plastic screen protectors.
Bubble-wise it's nearly not a problem as with the nice squeege its easy to disperse them, the major problem is dust that may be caught between the glass and the screen, you do have some stickers that help a lot on those but only if the dust particle is near the edges of the glass, if it's in the middle you have to take back the glass to take the dust off. it's not realy a major problem as the glass glues with a substance that keeps glueing even if you remove the glass a couple of times, but just be carefull.
Be sure to realy clean the XZ shatter proof layer and try not to apply the glass in a dust-abundant environment.
Also (realy important) is necessary to understand that this brando glass is not a 100% fit on the phone entire screen. Example if the ZX screen is XX mm tall, the brando tempered glass is (XX - 0,5 mm tall) meaning that is slightly shorter than the screen, so you better adjust it to the speaker on top and start placing it 0,5 mm below it and it will fit nicely 0,5 mm above the bottom microphone. Also on the sides, 0,5 mm maximum.
This might sound that the glass is not of a good size, but after you place it on the phone you'll understand that this is even better than a "perfect" fit as the phone seems to be more rounded on the screen afterwards, trust me, you'll like it.

it looks really good but the problem is will it too thick? and the price is seriously too high (for a screen protector).
Any suggestion?

But the glas.tr on amazon. It's tempered so if you drop the phone the screen protector might crack but your actual phone screen won't. Check some YouTube videos. Extremely durable.

It's a good glass protector albeit at the typical high price. No regular screen protector feels as smooth as a tempered glass protector but you'd have to wait for the generic ones to show up on ebay if you're looking for a lower price.

I think a good Screen protector is definitely worth it. when I got my Note 2 last year I didn't use a screen protector and chipped my screen within a week of getting it.

Ya, I check couple of youtube that's awesome to watch they use screw and hammer try to destroy it :laugh:
Thanks for remind me it also sell on amazon and their company locate in CA which pretty closed to me!

I had one on my last device. Dropped it pretty nasty on concrete and while the Glas.Tr screen protector cracked in the corner, the device's screen was minty fresh and had no damage. If you drop your phone as often as I do, it's definitely worth it. I'm waiting till they officially release from Spigen on Amazon so I can use Prime on it.

Are the people on Amazon crying about bubbles popping up after a few weeks with the GLAS protectors typical morons, or is it not just a matter of user error?

Both lol they work fine. Ams Definitely worth the money

I can install regular plastic film protectors without bubbles, lift, etc, but the glass one I just got has major issues with the corners lifting.

I have a glass one on my note 3. I love the feel. One thing the edges do like to stick up just a bit, but my case covers the lip. So no biggie there.
