[REVIEW]CrazyOnDigital Matte Screen Protector

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FF85TA/ref=ox_ya_os_product
$4.84 USD for a 3 pack of matte screen protectors, not a bad deal! ***spoiler*** this thing sucks ***spoiler***
So I've had the TF101 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 both with Zagg screen protectors but ended up taking them off after a few weeks since there was too much drag resistance. Never experienced any "orange peel" effect many have noted. On my mom's iPhone and Sidekick 4G, I saw this matte screen protector, and I was very impressed with the feel. This was a while ago, but once I got the N7 I decided to grab some matte screen protectors.

-3 Screen Protectors with proper camera and light sensor cutout
-1 card to squeegee the bubbles out
-1 microfiber cloth
-1 white business card sized label (to remove lint)
Installation was dry, and some what easy. I'm no expert at this, but I was able to successfully put the screen protector on with no bubbles or lint (after squeegee and using the included sticker to get out a few pieces of lint.
I was so excited that I got it looking so nice, no bubbles, no lint, etc. I've done this before with other devices and whenever I had lint stuck under the screen it would drive me insane everytime I looked at it.
Anyways turned the screen on and it didn't look too bad, just a little grainy rainbow pixel effect. w.e. I'll get used to it, less finger-prints and anti-glare + screen protection is a fair trade off. Wrong. A few hours later I turned on my tablet to browse the interwebz and get my eyes accustomed to the new screen. Holy Shiz. I am on the computer for the majority of the day. I browse numerous forums, reddit, i've accumulated 120+hours on battlefield 3, even more on starcraft 2, Im almost always on the computer. Hell, I just got a circuit board tattoo a week ago. I rarely ever get headaches from looking at a screen, when I do, it's most likely from forgetting to drink coffee. I got a nauseating headache from staring no more than 5 mins at the screen. Needless to say I ripped it off, threw it away and thanked my lucky stars it was so cheap.

I concur I got rid of mine after a few days.

I like mine. No issues with install and I can use the N7 whereever I feel like. I had too much glare when using it in the office and outside.

Glass back breaks quite easily.

So, in a recent review/first looks courtesy of The Verge It is shown that the nice glass backing of the nexus is quite easily broken. This does not guarentee that this is the case with the final release variant as google might pick this up. Joshua from The Verge said he 'knocked it of his table on to the floor' from memory I think it was a tiled floor.
Whilst its just a hairline crack it is something to look out for
Here is an image I quickly threw together in paint:

I think people are aware of this already. It uses stronger glass than the iPhone 4/4S so it should be fine. I had an iPhone 4 for 2 years and it dropped twice on concrete, never broke. It's glass, it can break if it hits in the right spot. Best bet is to not drop your phone, or use a case. Honestly it's kind of funny how people freak out over the fact that it breaks when they know it's glass. Gorilla glass is strong, but it's still glass!
I read someone say that EVERYONE they knew who had an iPhone 4 had the back break. What a load of ****. My wife has an iPhone 4 and is terrible with phones, her back is fine (although scratched a bit)

I'm not completely ignorant to the fact all glass breaks on the right spot, It's just an idea of how bad and a bit of a warning to make sure people know what to expect more realistically than a guess.

Yes, it is being discussed in this thread

I'd rather have it on.. until its gets badly scratched. I mean they put it there for a reason right?

I agree

I totally agree with you at least I know if I wanted to resell my tl I won't have to worry about describing a scratched screen.

i toyed with the idea of removing mine, but after seeing how the glass is hard to clean after I might leave it on.. stupidly the only scratches mine has endured so far are where i have failed to get the charger in the hole and it has slipped onto the screen. there may have been alcohol involved.

Won't the Xperia Z use Asahi Dragontrail glass?

I feel the same here. Too bad the screen doesn't have that oleophobic coating.

I have the Xperia V, but I know that mine also has a screenprotector on it, but I cannot understand why anyone would remove it.
I have also added the Copter protection ontop.
It feels nice, allmost like glass. It also it sensitive like it would be without any protection.

R: Sony Xperia T have pre-Shatterproof screen protector (vid)
I removed the screen protector because it generates too much friction with my thumb. I had to be literally oil-fingered to use it comfortably.
The bare screen is better, letting the oil film form and my thumbs slip better.
Furthermore, no more dust collecting between it and the screen edge.

Having previously had iPhones, and knowing a friend with the Galaxy S2, I didn't even expect the Xperia T to have a screen protector, so I'd ordered my own before I even had the phone.
It wasn't until snooping around XDA forums I found out, after I'd already put one on.
Point being, even if the "stock" protector can scratch, it turns out I have a second protector on top anyway. There is no issues of sensitivity.

I removed mine
I think the shatter-proof thing is tacky, and I am very careful with my phones. I'd rather feel the glass that I paid all that money for! I don't mind breathing on my phone and rubbing it on my shirt every so often.
Take it off, it's nice!

ItSkins Gla.Z Glass Screen Protector

Original Thread - Itskins Problem
ItSkins contacted me when I was desperate for an update on my order. Well, it's finally here.
I chose ItSkins Gla.Z for a few reasons.
All clear glass SP seem to work better overall. as per XDA threads.
I hate the opening under the home button. This one is enclosed.. Though the top is trimmed for the sensors and speakers.
Spigen wimped out, whom was my first choice.
It was $29,90. With shipping it came to $39.80
Onto the review.
It came in a box in a bag. The contents were well padded.
It did not come with h spray bottle, but it did come with
.
.
. WAIT FOR IT!
four round iPhone buttons, two white and two black. Thankfully I already bought the Spigen Aluminum Home Buttons. I told Itskins about it already and future shipments will have the right one.
It did come with the mini-credit card
squeegee, which I didn't use because I have a Skinomi soft squeegee that won't scratch nor require a microfiber cloth. I used their included one to dab any excess liquid.
There still is some moisture, but it can take a week to dry. It has been two days and the moisture pockets are getting smaller. I may grab the hairdryer again to speed it up.
So far I am loving it! I had a plastic SP before. But nothing is more like glass than glass.
With my metal case and the Gla.Z SP , my phone feels bomb proof!
If you have any questions, just ask. I'll do my best to answer them.

Thanks sorry I misunderstood your sentence .. I read it wrong. :banghead:

How do I upload a picture to the forum? The Picture Icon wants an URL. It been a few years. I think I used to upload them to some free, no questions asked website before posting. Any recommendations for a no sign-in picture hosting website?

I will take pictures again in a week to show how the moisture is dissipating. The blue thing was one of the pre-installation protectors. I thought it might give a better idea of the SP shape. With the glare on the actual SP, it might be hard to tell.

I spent the extra for the Spigen Vitreo. I must say that the dry install left me with no 'patches' like those wet spots on the wet install.

It might have been intended as a dry install, since they didn't include any spray. I used wet, because it gave me extra time to get the placement just right. It also means I have to wait longer for the best results.

Nooooo. Not this **** again. It's only the shatterproof shield (screenprotector) that is damaged. If you remove them, your phone should be as new. If you searched the forum you would already know this

glass screen XZ easily broken.
I'm looking to buy an XZ. I view on the forums, I see like that.

Do yourself and us all a favour and buy something else.

My phone has survived multiple drops, sometimes even on uneven concrete surfaces.
While the polycarbonate shell does take a beating, the glass has never so much as scratched.
These are 3-4 foot accidental drops though. If you intend to throw your phone around, it probably wont last long.
Also, you should put a screen protector over the shatter proof film or remove the film completely, because shatter proof film is prone to scratches.
In conclusion, I suggest that you get a case and a screen protector should you choose to purchase this phone.
I'd recommend this case that comes with a screen protector for the front.

1st pic
sheet... the speaker hole is totally bent, no way it is subjected to light abuse before break
the rest of the pic
this is still glass
I dunno what is the claim of gorilla glass/dragontail
but i remember that the point of the ion-exchange type glass is to make a stronger against scratches glass
as for the strength, some did say that with the better glass, they ae able to use a thinner piece of glass
(lower weight, and/or cost)
so the end result is still the same
glass is glass, and it will break rather than dent
just the right(or wrong) pressure at the right angle
and the glass will break deeply
