so I received my Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector, and I was able to put it on perfectly 1st go, no dust, no bubbles.
however it's made my screen look....fuzzy, like there's moisture underneath, but I didn't use the shower method so I don't know what moisture it would be.
Should this fix itself up after a couple of days?
Mines fine, it never had a moisture look, sometimes it gets a little fuzzy when its dirty, after a wipe its fine.

I just put it on, used the squeegee to pop bubbles, then gave it a rub down a few times with the included cloth.
Non fuzzy....
Sounds like you may have ordered anti glare, they have a fuzzy look because its a matte finish
Yeah...mine is fine....maybe you've got the ultra "optic" instead

yeh, sorry, double checked and I got the Ultra Fine, coz I wanted the Matt finish.
everything is great, I love the feel, its just this thing where it seems to really accentuate the pixel colours especially on my white background. it seems to slightly show all different pixel colors on the whites.
Hopefully it sorts itself out in a couple of days...

That is one of the characteristics of those type of screen protectors. That won't go away.
Question for you guys who have the Ultra Crystal or Ultra Oleophobic...
Does the Ultra Crystal show finger prints or smudges very bad?
Does the Ultra Oleophobic have an actual matte finish to keep fingerprints from showing up?
I'd prefer a smooth/clear finish.

I ordered the oleophobic because they are supposed to be clear with an oil resistant coating.
That's what I'm hoping. I'm sure these have been talked about before for other phones...I need to run a search. Thanks!

I just put the oleophbic on mine. I have a couple random dust like spots under mine but it definitely isn't matte. It kind of has a tacky feel though. I might just continue naked until a glass protector comes out.

The oleophobic ones are easier to clean but also easier to scratch where the ultra clear is their best screen protector yet, with it being 25% better than the last one. I went with the ultra clear, but I still want to try the oleophobic, seems like a good idea. Either one is fine, don't have any complaints about the ultra clear, just my 2 cents.
Also the glass protectors won't be out for a while.
I have the oleophobic one and compared it with my friends gnote 2 without a screen protector. SGP Oleophobic screen protector does indeed make the screen look fuzzy.
Crystal version is very good. Clarity is comparable to the GlasT I had on the Note I. Actually, I think I might stick with the Crystal, as it works great with the S pen.
How bad do fingerprints and smudges show up with the UC? That's the main issue I'd like to avoid, of course without sacrificing clarity.
From my experience with the oleo for my note 1 .....the oil resistant layer doesn't last that long at all

Try an anti glare. The touch is smoother and fingerprints won't disturb you anymore.
Cons: display will look a little less "sharp" but you'll get used to it fast.
With such SP a "rainbow mask" noticeable on clear colors may stay for 3/4 days untill it dries.
I got the CaseMate from my local AT&T store, it does a good job with fingerprints and cuts down on glare with a reasonable reduction of screen clarity.
I am using the one from the T-Mobile store. Is a perfect fit covering the entire glass, only leaving a hole for the sensor and camera at the top.
It has a matte finish so fingerprints are a non-issue
yes, wear cotton gloves... nothing is going to prevent fingerprints. Some of them may reduce the effect. But if your eating chicken wings and tweeting at the same time your gonna make a mess!
i have privacy filter (ebay) and it shows little or no fingerprints.. its also a bit blurry like the no-glaze filter
Look for matte screen protectors online, I'm using one right now but lost the packaging so I can't tell what brand, but it costs about 12$. Sharpness is indeed reduced but its worth not wiping the screen all the time with a microcloth IMO

I have a Otterbox Defender case for my Galaxy Tab, the screen protector that comes with that attracts much less fingerprints than the screen when it's naked or the Zagg invisibleSHIELD.
Wow. I feel cheap. I cut the tab off of the screen cover that came with the tab and just left it on there. I hardly notice the finger prints.
I like naked screen, more comfy, cold touch.
Wrapsol works pretty well too. Got the matte package and it works nice.
for me the best one, not only for Smartphones, is the ANTIGLARE from BRANDO

Got the one from the T-Mobile store last night, it's T-Mobile branded packaging, $14.99 and it works great, cuts down glare and fingerprints.
Just ordered the sgp oleophobic screen protector. Similar to what the iPhone has for repelling fingerprints.
Does anyone else's screen protector have dust collecting under the spot where the screen curves down into the bezel? its above the speaker grille and also below the capacatives.
I ordered a zagg and I'm hoping that it doesn't also do the same thing.
Has anyone come across a screen protector that doesn't suck/ do this?

Good, I just ordered one from Zagg and hopefully it fits like yours does.
I have an Xtreme Guard (here) and I don't have this problem. Fits perfectly.
My Nexus S came with a Zagg already installed, and yeah, I kinda hate it. I'm too lazy to order another one and put it on, so I'll deal. I was just wondering if anyone's screen has an orange tint to it? I just got the phone (3 days), and when I put it next to my Captivate, the Captivate's screen is much more vivid and has no orange tint to it. Is this because of Zagg? It fits very well, by the way.
Well i have slcd i9023 version, and its colors are still like before. I agree that the texture is a bit getting used to but when you do it doesnt really bother you. And on the plus side the annoying fingerprints are greatly reduced.

I had one on my Transformer and it was fantastic. I got one after someone mentioned how tablets accumulate tons of prints all over the screen.
It did wonders for my screen.
I ordered a wet screen protector and while it looked good, it still had a print problem. Also the N7 has a flat screen and doesn't need a wet SP since there are no curves.
So I'm looking for a dry apply fingerprint resistant screen protector. Any suggestions?

Yea, no that's not what I'm talking about. That's just a matte finish which is not what I'm looking for. The reviews also say it "feels like paper" and "smudges too much". Both something I don't want.
The fingerprint resistive ones I'm looking for aren't matte. They have some kind of protective coating that resists fingerprints.
The one on my Transformer was not matte or anti glare or anything. Just a regular glossy anti fingerprint dry SP.
Any other suggestions? Cause I haven't found any.

The amFilm matte finish screen protector is better with fingerprints than the clear one. You can see smudges with the screen off, but with the screen on, they're not noticeable. I tried taking a picture, but it's not coming out.
Anyway, what you're looking for is an oleophobic screen protector. Spigen makes one for the Nexus 7. I don't know if anyone else does yet.

Learned something new today. :good:
SGP Protector
I really like the SGP ones. I have had them on my Nexus S since I got it and love it. It by no means is fingerprint proof, but does quite a good job. If you have oily hands, you will see some, but not nearly as bad as no screen. I tend to like the matte finishes to kill the reflection as well. It's quite a bit on the pricey side, but worth it since it lasts a while and looks great.
I already purchases the SGP screen protector for my Nexus 7 and it's in the mail. If you don't mind waiting, I can let you know how mine turns out.

Yea this is the stuff I'm talking about. My old one was possibly a matte but felt smooth. It was edge to edge and you couldn't even tell a difference using it.
I got it via being asked to review it, which I gave it great reviews but I can't find my damn review in the Transformer thread to get the name.
I'll look into some further now I know the actual name of that coating but I wanted to see if anyone had any they've found already.
After installing on my transformer, I don't think I ever had to clean my screen ever again... they're that good.

Yea it isn't in there. Maybe it got lost in the shuffle or something. SGP was probably the one though. After visiting the website it looked strangely familiar, as I visited the website to get a running list of features for the review.
Whatever I had before, I want on my N7.
I also changed the title using the relevant keyword.
It looks like the 'official' Google screen protector will be oleophobic. Can't put out a link yet, but...

As some others have suggested, the matte screen protectors hide finger grease and reflections very well. I use these Fosman protectors http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R0CA7549 which are excellent and inexpensive. Like any dry apply protector you have to be very careful about dust getting between it and the screen when it is applying. Using the touch screen is much nicer with this screen protector since your finger now glides smoothly over the surface.

Do your math. My link is a 3-pack with free shipping.
I really hate applying screen protectors and I always seem to mess it up. I know Sprint will apply it if you buy it from them. ANyone have experience with their protectors?
Yeah, the only ones that had at sprint when I bought mine turned out to be the square type that JUST cover the active screen portion. This significantly reduces the effectiveness of the S-Pen. (It catches on the side, making it rather hard to write or do anything closeto the edges of the screen for me.)
I recommend one of the better designed ones that covers more of the bezels so that your spen doesnt get caught up around the sides.
For what it's worth, I got the Sprint protectors and they are good but only cover the actual screen.
If you want to apply your own, turn the shower on the hottest setting for 10 minutes and then turn it off. Apply the screen protector in your bathroom now. The steam pulls the dust out of the air and allows you to get a perfect placement

I'm running that one for now until zagg makes hd for it. It is not that bad in my opinion, it's smooth and clear. But it only covers screen and gets really bad micro scratches but those aren't noticeable with the screen on. Also the aforementioned possibility of the pen catching it when near the edges. Pen runs smooth across it though. Comes with 2 clear and a matte one.

I have read through the other screen protector thread and I feel like it's just a mess to read through because it's people either simply stating what they ordered or SSHguru from just like glass suggesting his product or talking back and forth with people about the orders. Just like glass is definitely one of the protectors I am considering as well as possibly looking at the SPIGEN SGP protectors.
I have not used a screen protector on a phone in a few years but due to the screen being so big and not being able to get insurance on the phone this time I feel a screen protector is wise. I just want to make sure it will not hinder the use of the spen. I am no artist and can barely draw a stick figure or even write with a pen for that matter, I just have horrible handwriting. So as long it still functions correctly I am happy with it.
I am thinking of adding a pole to this with the ones most recommended.

I'm using the Spigen Ultra Crystal and despite it not covering the screen entirely I love it. It's virtually unnoticeable other than the fingerprints that it collects, which is something you'll see with all screen protectors(I had issues even on my oleophobic that I had on my GS2). The stylus works just as well as it did before I put the protector on it and there are zero marks on it from the stylus since I've been using it(5 days)
I'm using a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic and, in retrospect, I wish I'd left my Ultra Crystal on. The Ultra Crystal was all but invisible aside from the fingerprints that wipe off cleanly, whereas fingerprints on the Ultra Oleophobic leave behind a film that makes the fact that you're using a screen protector painfully obvious. All things considered, I should have stayed with the Ultra Crystal, and it's only my desire to not give up on a $7.50 screen protector ten days after getting the phone (as I did with my Ultra Crystal) keeps the Ultra Oleo on there.
That being said, I use my S Pen regularly, and neither Spigen protector ever showed signs of wear or marking from the S Pen. I did have an Xtreme Guard screen protector on there for a few days after getting the phone, and it was badly marked up by the S Pen. My theory is that wet-apply protectors are just a bad idea with the Note 2, as gooey plastic (which is basically what they are) is prone to being scratched up and dragged around by pointy objects.
I use the same material used on cars for their clear bras. S pen works fine, and it's very tough. I use it on my iPad 3 as well. Never buying screen protectors again. Lol

This is completely bogus. I had two zaggs on my Note 2, one replaced by Best Buy because the S-Pen marks were so profound, the second removed because it happened to the improved Zagg... Even with the second being a Zagg HD, I was 100% let down by this product. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
The SGP Ultra Crystal is, by far, the best available, as far as the S-Pen goes. It's just too hard for it to even think about leaving marks. That being said, I am eagerly awaiting my new re-cut just like glass to see if it's all that it's cracked up to be. If not, I will be certain to let you know... and subsequently go back to a SGP Ultra.

Let it dry for 48 hrs before using the s pen.

Has anyone noticed any delay/lessened sensitivity issues with either the SGP or JLG screen protectors? It's awesome that the note 2 has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity (I'm assuming it's built into the spen), but I wouldn't want a screen protector getting in the way of that.
Spigen ultra clear here works fine

I wouldn't do that...you WILL get marks on it...I can almost guarantee it. I too had the Zagg HD and after a few days use, there were s pen marks all over it. Initially it seemed like a great protector...actually, without the s pen it would be. However, if you look at your screen with it turned off you can see marks all over it. Go with xtremeguard, Just Like Glass or Spigen...any one of those will hold up better and they are all quite a bit less expensive.

I don't much care how the screen looks while off.
I don't really use the pen much either, just don't want that rubbery feel (OG Zagg) when I do.
As far as price, I don't really care as long as I get what I want. Also, working at Best Buy has its advantages
