I am looking for a screen protector for my wife's Vivid. Normally I order from Phantomskinz, but they don't have one out for the Vivid yet. I have used Zagg before, but am not fond of the orange peel effect on it. Anybody have suggestions?
Search for 'Realook' on amazon. Using one right now n love it. It has an extremely good cut, doesn't bubble during application, and has the same finish as the screen. Can't even tell I have it on my phone.

I got a Moshi protector at the AT&T store. Easy to put on. Reduces finger smudges. It has a matte finish (no-glare) which some people don't like, but I like not having a lot of fingerprints on the phone.

+1 for the Moshi!
I've seen people complaining a lot about Moshi. What is it about it that you like? Because when I saw pictures I really enjoyed the way it covers around the buttons, but somehow not everyone seem to like it very much

The protector has an opaque section at the bottom with round openings for the home, menu and other software buttons. The black protector does not look good on white Vivids, but I believe there is a white Moshi protector.
I think the main objection, as I've said, is the matte finish. It reduces smudges and fingerprints significantly, in my opinion, and comparing it to the screen protector on my old HD2. Also, it does not reflect light nearly as much as some protectors, or the actual glass, would do. There is little glare. However, it may reduce the screen's light somewhat. But even with my screen brightness turned way down, I have no problem seeing what's on the screen.
Is there a possible store that sent in the mail ?.
+1 on moshi. Anti bubble anti glare and they r washable and reusable. I've been using one since November and love it.

I used the Moshi on my Note and ordered one yesterday for my Vivid from AT&T and hope it gets here when my Vivid is delivered on Tuesday.The Moshi is the best one I have used yet,Zagg and Skinomi are way to hard to install and I cannot see paying Best Buy $25.00 to install it either!!
+1 on the moshi!!
Gotta say I like the not so glossy feel to it.
REALLY like not having to wipe smudges and fingerprints off of my screen constantly...
Installation is a breeeeeze.

Yeah, best buy is a worst buy. Went in to get a simple slip on case and a screen protector to use on my days off. Just something not as bulky that I can slip in my pocket. Between the rubber sleeve and the screen protector it was gonna be almost as much as my otterbox defender.

Realook screen protector is the real deal. The best screen protector for the money. Crystal clear and feel like nothing on.

I'm using the Invisible Shield and I don't have any complaints. There isn't very much "orange peel" on it, it's clear and easy to put on. We sell out of them fairly fast at my store.
If you do get it, make sure you get the wet application one. It's SUPER easy. Screw the dry application Invisible Shields.
Yeah, apparently Invisible Shields have improved a lot over the last couple of years. I've had a couple on some old MP3 players and they didn't look great, even with perfect installation.
I've always been really satisfied with Clarivue screen protectors, been using them for ages.
My moshi screen protector kept moving around but stoped after a couple hours it made me furious but how is it reuseable?

I was able to wash it and reuse it. You just have to let it air dry completely. If you try using a cloth or paper towel you'll end up with lint in the glue. I did that the first time I cleaned it and it was sliding all over the place.

That's the one that I'll be getting personally. I've just come to the Velocity (AUS) from a HTC HD2 and a Blackberry 9860; the HD2 had a matte skin on the screen and imho it killed the screen, the 9860 had a glossy-ish skin, it was beautiful!
I'll hit up eBay later on tonight!

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a screen protector that can add some extra grip to the screen to make handwriting easier. It needs to be hard enough not to get punctured by pressure or scratched.
Thanks in advance

I think they should all be good enough for the pen. Even the cheap on I got from the sprint store is plenty hard enough.
With that said I'm ordering this one below. I've had them before and they are ultra clear and very scratch resistant. Far better than Zagg.

Do not look at any of the wet install protectors. They will get indentions from the s-pen. All the dry install ones will be fine tho. Ghost armor, zagg hd... both get tiny marks from the s-pen.
Avoid the SGP Ultra Optics and probably all the matte and anti-fingerprint protectors. I thought a bit of grip would help handwriting but that was a huge mistake, the loose tip doesn't get along with the extra grip.

Hmm...I don't agree with this post.
I have the SGP Ultra Optics on my Note 2 now and it actually aids in using the S-Pen with less slippery surface.
The pen still glides over the surface well enough while providing some paper like texture.
The only thing that I don't like is how it makes a bit of squeaky sound, but it's not too bad.
The SGP Ultra makes the screen less reflective of the ambient lights and is still clear enough to show the screen very well.
Highly recommended!
I ordered one of the dba just like glass protectors. Ill let you guys know how it turns out.

How hard are you writing with the pen? I'm using tje WriteRight protectors too and the clear one had yet to actually get a scratch from the pen. Any lines left are just lines in skin oil that wipe off.

I'm not writing very hard I'm actually letting the pen just glide but marks will not wipe clean. I guess it could be the extra oil that I leave on it from my hands as I am a maintenance technician by trade. I will figure something out @ some point.

Just picked up the unicorn beetle pro (the otter box level one ) and just wanted to say it is a great case, I'm not much for writing reviews but can answer any questions if anyone else was looking at this case. It seems super durable, it's thick but reasonably so, the ir /power button has a clear cover so it still functions. The rubber sides are much harder than an otter box and don't pull on and off when you pull it from your pocket like some other cases.

I'll add to the positive reviews of this case. I ordered it early through Amazon so I too got it at a great price figuring I had very little to lose. I'm extremely pleased with most aspects of this case. I'm coming from an M7 with a UAG case so I have something good to compare this case to. Best things about this case are:
-built-in screen protector with tacky back. this keeps the plastic protector in constant contact with the screen so not air gaps like LifeProofs iPhone case
- completely covered plastic power button. much better IMO than UAG's slotted rubber button because it provide tactile feedback
-port covers. keeps the dust out
-very little metal is exposed. the camera lenses on back have the typical case protection but I really like the plastic around the speaker grills. looks good and looks like it'll provide adequate protection from most anything short of extreme sports
The only thing that I don't like is that the back of the case has a slight curve to it versus the flat back of the UAG case. But I figure this is why the Unicorn Beetle doesn't feel so bulky.
I was planning on only using this case for when I'm doing yard work, hiking, or playing in the park but I'm happy enough with it at this point that I'll likely leave it on most of the time. It's a great value, even at the current price. I will watch the price closely on this and probably pick up another one if the price drops.
Here we go!
I popped out the plastic screen cover and removed the residue. Case still fits great with my Nillkin Glass screen protector!
The other case is the regular Unicorn Beetle so you can see the size difference.
Sorry delete
Yeah built in screen protector is not that bad but doesn't work well with a wet apply style below it as I had one on mine , they stick together. I'm going to order a glass one and pop out the plastic eventually but the built in is good enough for now

Gestures
Got the case today, and seems like a pretty stout case. I removed my clear plastic as I have a SpartanShield screen protector on it. Customized it a little to my needs... Added mesh on the speakers. It didn't mess with the FFC much, but has a slight difference. I need this mesh as I'm a machinist, and have always had to dig out metal shavings. My main concern is since I've installed this case I havent had much luck with getting gestures to work. It seems like sometimes it doesn't work at all, and other times it seems fine. Didn't know of anyone has had this experience yet.
I haven't had any issues with the touchscreen, but I have a glass screen protector. Loving this case so far. Very well made. Way better than my Otterbox Commuter.

Did you remove the plastic screen protector before applying the case? If not, did the glass screen protector cause a gap between the plastic around the speakers?

Red and Gold
Heres the red and the gold on gunmetal. If the red looks a little pinkish its because it is. I didn't see it on OP's photos because he doesn't have a picture from that particular angle but mine are from LoveMei and has the words on the left side of the frame. It feels like the lettering is debossed so I think it might be acid etched. Kinda tacky and might be an issue with some of you.
How do these bumpers feel in the hand? Does it feel grippier or more slick?
What would you say are the protective qualities of the case? Or is it purely aesthetic?

Its anodized aluminum, so it feels like about the same grippiness as stock. To me it feels like its mostly aesthetic, the only thing i see it protecting is the machined edge between the sides and the screen, which i probably put a few scratches in to while putting the bumper on so...mostly aesthetic.

It shouldn't effect it at all. The "metal" bumper just surrounds more metal where it wouldn't receive those signals anyway.

Hi,
Does anyone know if this kind of metal bumper would protect the phone from drops ? From what i see on the pictures it is really thin, when the phone it put on a table does the back of the phone has a contact with it or only the bumper ?
For example i saw that the metal bumper from DevilCase for the HTC One seems to protect from drops based on how it was built (in case of a drop, the back of the phone shouldn't have a contact with the floor, only the bumper would) : http://www.amazon.com/DevilCase-HTC-M7-Aluminum-Protective/dp/B00D6OGPU6
Btw the devilcase bumper should be release for HTC One M8 on June.
Mainly the side. If your phone drops and lands flat on its back, it would still get scratched. There is not much protection to the back and some on the front glass. You should with a full case if that's what you need. The side of my phone got scratched pretty easily when I dropped it one time. I didnt go with a full case because that would defeat the purpose of having an all aluminum body.
The slide of your phone got scratched even with or without the bumper ?
Yes that's also my point, i'm trying to see if there is a case that would allow to keep the all aluminium body and also provide some protection too, hard choice ...
Side protection is pretty good. The case fits snug. I'm not worried about that at all.
How does the edge feel? I'm thinking of getting one like this just because I'm starting to dislike the rounded, soft edges of the phone when it's naked. Is it a nice corner ala iphone 5 or is it about as round as stock?
Also does it interfere much with the volume rocker?
i used the devil bumper case !
it needs 4 screws so i kinda feel secure,
but the case im using barely have any kind of protection to the device although it increases its beauty
If you sand the tapered sides of bumper case it will look more premium, I did it with my M7's bumper case.

I have not been using any screen protector or case for the last 7 months and it is still like new. Note 4 is meant to be used like this.
I'm really really want to use it naked but i also want to protect the screen - the best thing in the phone - from any damage i also heard that the metal frame lose it's shinning if not covered by a case . But i have an idea , what about 3rd party metal frame to cover the original one ?

Mine is still in pristine condition. I remember hitting hard surface few times but luckily no scratches in the metal frame. But there are microscopic hairline scratches in the screen that are only visible in reflection under certain light and certain angle. The scratches are so faint that I have to spend several minutes relocating them. I am totally convinced this phone can go naked if you baby it.
UPDATE
today i purchase non glass screen protector from samsung , it is MAGNIFICENT, no space around the edges and you barely can tell that there's a screen protector on the screen

I had the same issue, Zagg sent me a replacement but it was the same. Then they switched it to the HDX and problem solved. I prefer now the HDX since the GLASS did have some minor scratches and the HDX is self healing.
