Hi,
I'm not really happy with the preapplied screen protector on my XT. It is quite a fingerprint magnet, and attracts a lot of dust and particles any time I put a phone in my pocket.
I see that it would be possible to remove it, but apparently, bare screen is also not handling fingerprints very well.
Any of you guys can recommend a good screen protector? Are you using the Sony one that came in the box with the phone? Any other?
Thanks for any tips.

Some companies sell them online. You might want to Google them. I plan on buying the oil.

Looks similar to crystalusion which seems much cheaper.

Hi guys, just wanted to share this video I made reviewing ZAGG's invisible sheild for the samsung galaxy ace.
Overall it is a great product, and I will highly recommend it. The only problem being that it is not a perfect fit, nevertheless it feels great and it is one of the few that offers a complete protection to the front, the back and the sides.
It only retails for $15 if you only want the screen cover, and $25 if you want the full body.
You can purchase the product in their website: http://www.zagg.com/
I searched google and many users complain about the resistive touch effect of the shield..What can you say about that?..

Does anyone know of a reputable and cheap seller of screen protectors for Nexus S i9020, in the UK? I am suspicious of eBay results but perhaps I should not? Links/Names would be appreciated.

I suggest eBay. Got mine, an XtremeGuard protector which is a vinyl type protector (from user xtreme_guard). First one I got was damaged during shipping, too much weight was put onto the envelope containing it and it got marked by the application tool and he sent me another one free of charge. Best protector I ever bought and definitely a good ebay experience.

Don't waste your money...screen protectors aren't necessary with gorilla glass

Have faith. There are no scratches. Gorilla glass isn't the only sturdy/scratch-resistant glass in the world.

I was under the same impression when I bought the phone too.
Gorilla glass or not though, the biggest screen scratcher isn't rusty nails or whatever gimmicky thing they show you in the phone screen protector ads but rather pocket sand. Any sand you have in your pockets will DESTROY the phone over time. I've seen some phones become completely hazy, including ones equipped with Gorilla glass from people working more physical jobs.
Mine has a protector, but it's for the OCD rather than anything else. As long as you put your phone in a pocket of it's own, empty of any debris, and you don't rub it face first on a table, it should be fine.
Always I removed the film from my Sony smartphones when were scratched, but afraid to remove the Sony logo, I intend to buy a film to not scratch the original film.
I'm afraid of losing the image quality and touch.
I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XtremeGuard...028108?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51a810dbcc
This film is good?
Nobody !??
It's very good. But it's really hard to perfectly apply it to the device. I tried 3 times and failed miserably. lol.

Yes, series = ADQC27 clear surface protector and DQCM30 series = protector with a matte surface. I always chose ADQC27, although I think the back should be matte (anti fingerprint)

I bought xtremeguard from 1st post and already applied it on my xperia z. Looks great. Installation was very easy. if it is wet installation you can easily move with protector on phone and than if you are satisfied you just remove water under screen protector. Now i leave my phone have som sleep to make protector fit well. I can post some photo later if you want.

Yes post a picture. Do you have any bubbles? And what about scratches? Does it scratch a lot or?
Here are photos. It is not totally perfect but for this price it is great. I also have zagg and bestskinsever and zagg is for me very expensive and not so good quality as this one. No it does not scratch a lot because it is not plastic film it is like rubber. Also like zagg and other.

Thank you for photos and short overview. Will buy it. And good job on putting screen protector very good.
I had used Zagg on my Xperia Arc but had to remove it when I had submitted my phone for housing change and it is very expensive.. I searched on eBay India and I found Gadget Shieldz.. Which is very good n almost 8 times cheaper than zagg.

Hello,
I have a hard time deciding between Muvit and Glass-m.
I want the best protection to my screen out there, but at the same time the screen should be crystal clear.
What tempered glass do you have? Which would you recommend?

I hava not tried the muvit but have tried numerous others. Honestly the major difference is the the thickness of the glass and whether their have an anti-fingerprint coating. I saw that the muvit does not so I would go with the glass-m.

Hello,
Could you please suggest a good Screen Protector Film or my Nexus6 ? I don't want a Tempered Glass. I need the Proximity Sensor and Camera to be working after installing the Screen Protector.
Thanks.
I'm using a Mr shield that I found on amazon for 6 bucks. Normally I would use a tempered glass screen protector, but after 3 failed attempts I gave up on finding one that fits without the "halo"around the screen.

You know many of the tempered glass ones have cut outs for these sensors now? If that is the only reason stopping you using one.

I found one but I wouldn't recommend it. You don't really need cut outs on film ones though. In fact on my Nexus 5 I had tempered glass without cut outs and everything worked fine., though apparently Nexus 6 this isnt quite the case.
Everything is working on mine (only put it on 3 days ago). The other screen protector you can get that has cutouts is Xtreme guard. Dirt cheap and a decent product.

If that is the case, then I think I will go ahead and purchase the one with out cutouts. I was looking at this. The Mr Shield also seems to be good.
I have found this one has appropriate cut outs, but it is a Wet Application Film. So I'm doubtful if it will damage my phone.

As long as you don't use too much water, it will be fine. I've seen people filming videos under water in the bathtub with a nexus 6. It is not rated for underwater use (and would not recommend you use it underwater either) but a few splashes on the screen isn't going to cause an issue.
Also the armorsuit if too costly for me. So if you are saying that the cut outs are not necessary for film protectors then I'm planning to order the Spigen shown above. It is lesser price with good quality.

You really spent $15 for a plastic screen protector? There are high quality plastic protectors than can be had for 1/12th the price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6X-Supershi...884973?hash=item2ed8911f2d:g:MxsAAOSwEppUSqmb
Maybe you should hang out with the guy who spent $40 on a Spigen Slim Armor case. (can be had for $12 on ebay)
I've had the same Skinomi film on my shamu since I received it last December. The fact that it's a wet application turns some off to it, but I've had no problems. I have one preordered for my 6p as well.
Yes, I avoid eBay if I can, and would rather spend a little more for it and know who I'm dealing with and the quality of the product. The added cost is well worth the piece of mind. Also the fact that with my OG Moto X, the protectors from Motorola had the best fit and finish by far of the protectors I tried.
