Clarivue screen protectors are damn good.

Just got one for my Milestone, and must say very impressed with the Clarivue screen protectors.
Not only are they actually made in Japan (I can tell since labels are also in Japanese), they give you two, along with a wet wipe.
Was very easy to apply. The Anti-Glare one I got does reduce clarity significantly but at the same time appears to be completely finger-print proof.
It's on special (at the moment), and got a 10% discount coupon from my first purchase so think I might buy another pack (this time the ultra-clear one)

I have Clarivue screen protector on my Milestone also, and it's perfect. The second one I put perfect, the first one still had some dust beneath. Anyway for the money I prefer Clarivue instead Boxwave.

Do you see any orange peel with the screen saver?

whaaat 11$? no way, just go to ebay and check those sellers from HK - you can get these things pretty cheaply (even ten times cheaper)...
I've got the cheapest antiglare on earth for my milestone as I hate fingerprints and also with the antiglare it seems like it is easier to swipe fingers across the screen as they don't "stick" to the default glossy screen.
However I get pretty weird colors probably because of refraction characteristics of the protector. Even though - pros>cons.

Can you suggest any seller for the HK one? At least you tried them already.

I would say any ebay seller with 90%+ rating si good.

Look good! But does the milestone really need a screen protector?

If you keep your phone in a "sleeve" or you don't use the phone in dirty conditions - I would say - it doesn't need a screen protector.
However I use a matte protector for two reasons:
-it feels better, my fingers "sticks" to too shiny surfaces like milestone and with the matte protector I think it feels more smooth to swipe across the screen
-no finger prints!

I totally agree. Mine right now sucks. I'd like to try the matte.

Thanks for this! Im alway want no finger prints!

can they delivered it to indonesia?

The Milestone has a gorilla glass display thats very hard to scratch! It is harder than most metals and there are videos on youtube of people trying to scratch gorilla glass with keys and pens, but fail to do so... so its kinda pointless adding a protector as it will only detract from the smooth feel of the gorilla glass. It will reduce the sensitivity of the touch screen. It is counter productive!

You can find it on google - its a pretty well known fact - The Droid and the Milestone were amongst the first cell phones to use Gorilla glass on the display - youtube should have a bunch of videos too.
But you should understand - this only makes it very hard to scratch the glass - any material that has a hardness value higher than the gorilla glass can scratch it.

I was using a screen protector for a while but I got fed up with it after a while and took it off. The cover I used diffracted the light from the screen caused a slight rainbow effect and was less sensitive to the touch. One of the reasons I chose the milestone is because of the capacitive touchscreen and the cover made it almost as bad as an old resistive screen!
My screen is still scratch free dispite living in my pocket, although the metal around the screen has a few nicks. Gorilla glass is impressive there are some demos on the net like this one http://vimeo.com/8602963

The rainbow effect was because it was anti-glare. With clear protector you shouldnt get any difractions. Also the clear protectors are thinner so you get better sensitivity.
How are you protecting your screen from looking all smudged? And don't your finger "stick" to the glass without matte protector? Because for me that's even worse than having less sensitivity.

Yes the screen permantly has a bunch of fingerprint marks, although I don't notice them much. This will probably bother me more in summer when there is more sunlight around.
I find my fingers do the opposite of stick, they glide over the glass, with protectors I didn,t like the extra friction.
I appreciate it is down to personal preference.

I'm sorry to say that, but Gorilla Glass has one weak point, dust... Dust and sometimes sand have quartz and quartz still is harder than GG. My Milestone has survived so many falls but once, and just once, it slipped in the floor and one small spec of dust fell of the speaker grill and the screen got a tiny scratch from that single spec of dust.
It is hard to scratch it, but not impossible. Today I use a Invisible Shield and I'm happy with it, no more scratchs.

Here I use the phone only in a Noreve leather case... I dropped it only one time, the cover was open and the Stone felt with the screen on the floor and I got 2 tiny scratches on the amazing GG 8-|... I'm using a cheap screen protective film now ^^.

[Q] Fingerprint-Proof Screen protector

I have been looking for oil-resistant screen protectors for this phone all over the internet. Do any of you have one that is oil resistant but CLEAR?
Because I used Steinheil Fingerprint Proof and it really affected the vision (it's a matte material :S? no idea). Is it possible for there to be a screen protector that is fingerprint free AND clear?
I just bought a "5pcs Clear LCD Screen Protectors For Motorola XT720 701" off ebay.
It says its Fingerprint Free, but I don't know if I could trust that. Because I got a screen protector from HK saying it reduces fingerprints, but it still had oil stains.
So, any Fingerprint resistant AND clear screen protectors that people can recommend?

Screen protectors are worse than fingerprints. I used some of the best in the market like zagg and bodyguardz. They are clear in the start but slowly accumulate scratches and imperfections and decolourize ruining your viewing experience. Not to mention they too attract fingerprints. I removed my zagg after 4 months and I enjoy my phone ten times more. Just wipe it on your shirt when it gets a lil dirty. Besides fingerprints dont show up when the screen is on anyways. Its only when the screen is off that you notice them.

Our XT720's screen is made of Gorilla Glass, which is very hard and scratch proof. So, unless you'd like an anti-glare (another word for matte) protector, you won't need clear or whatever. As Sorhab said, screen protectors are made of plastic and can easily be scratched.
Only matte screen protectors are fingerprint free. Even that, you still need to wipe it with mild soap-liquid at least once a month to clear.

.
i was afraid of that, because Matte traps light in AND out. so on a bright day, the screen is less bright, and the sunlight is trapped inside, giving off a generally hard to see screen.
I'm a bit of a clean screen freak. Ive been using no screen protector for a few days and I always end up having to wipe it alot. Everything is a lot clearer though.
I guess there really is no hope. If I want oil-free, then I have to sacrifice clarity and brightness right

Go without the screen protector, our XT720's have one of the most beautiful screens and resolution. Overtime youll come to notice them less. Its only when we buy something new that we are anal about cleanliness

great review.

One question, because to me it does make a difference.
Did you purchase these yourselves, or were they given to you as review samples?
Now, back to the matter at hand, Steinheil is definitely a great brand.

That is a fair question.
Due to the popularity of my youtube videos and website, I have been approached by MANY manufacturers and distributors to do reviews of their stuff. I have turned down 99% of them because I don't want to be a sellout. However, when I had a chance to get these screen protectors as review samples, I jumped on it, not just because I wanted quality items for myself, but I wanted to share with the rest of you my experience with items I really believed in.
In all honesty, I was probably going to buy either the matte one from Spigen, or one VERY similar made by a different company.

It's not grainy, but there is an obvious emulsion to the screen protector. Some people might have a fit over it, I don't mind it since now the screen isn't so glossy.

I like the matte because not only does it not show fingerprints but it also doesn't get sticky after playing a game. I'm using the matte now. These go on so great because they are thicker and thus tend to want to lay flat, so bubbles work out very easy. This was my first time using their rubber squeegee. I was skeptical at first and had a credit card handy but boy does it work great.
The screen has a different type of smooth with the matte. I like it. Alot.

I bought this screen protector based on this review and I am very disappointed.
Once applied the Nexus 7 does look much better indeed, and the touch feeling is very pleasant and smooth. However, there is a quite noticeable noisy light diffraction that makes bright areas very painful to watch and are specially noisy (chromatic noise) in low light conditions. Said differently your eyes will suffer and your most likely to get headaches from this issue if you intend to look at the tablet for long sessions of reading and gaming.
I am baffled that such an obvious change in the screen rendition is not mentioned in the review.

I almost had it perfectly done. Huge corner bubble, not an air bubble, but like a good chunk of the lower half wouldn't wipe out. I tried everything, I was 2 seconds away from getting a perfect fit. Then I get dust artifacts, following that my screen appears to have been damaged. Now it doesn't even look smooth. The squeegee and sticker removals didn't do squat. Worse product of the year. Complete waste of time and money.

I have just installed the Ultra Fine and as usual, I'm very impressed with the quality of their screen protectors. The screen protector is made to cover almost edge to edge, which is nice. The finish is excellent and fingerprints are nonexistent as advertised. Personally, I don't have issues with the screen looking grainy. Its fine enough for me such that I don't notice the chromatic issues that are usually seen with cheaper matte screen protectors.
Overall a screen protector worth its price and very easy to install perfectly. I like it.

[REVIEW] SGP Ultra Fine Screen Protectors

I've been using my Spigen SGP Ultra Fine MATTE screen protector for a few weeks now and I finally want to upload my thoughts and some pictures.
Spigen produces some of the best quality screen protectors that I have ever tried. I first owned one the Asus Transformer TF101 and couldn't wait until they made them available for the Nexus 7. Since I owned one of these in the past, it was a no brainer for me but they work so awesome that I want to share with you.
Here is a blurb from the website:
Code:
Ultra Fine film is a high quality film with a slightly textured film with
30% increased light transmittance. The Ultra Fine is effective in preventing
glare, smudges and fingerprints
High grade anti-glare hard coated film
Premium matte surface
Good surface hardness : 3H
No rainbow effect

What this doesn't tell you is that these suckers are thicker then normal. They aren't flimsy like other ebay or amazon cheapo protectors. This makes them easy to get on without any hassles. Because they are thicker and less flimsy, pushing air bubbles out is a breeze. Especially because their little rubber air bubble remover tool is amazing and helps a lot. I chose the ULTRA FINE because of the MATTE fingerprint resistant properties that I loved from my Asus Transformer.
I've uploaded some pictures of the process starting from the unboxing, POST-installation, and a few weeks later. I wanted to give it a few weeks because this is why this screen protector is so awesome.
Code:
I haven't cleaned my screen in over several weeks and it still looks perfect!
Truely amazing!
The Package arrives in a very nice, well crafted cardboard packaging (as pictured). The kit comes very well stocked with your not-so-typical accessories. Most "other" kits come in a cheap clear plastic bag, with a cheap card board cutout card and sometimes with a lent-free cleaning cloth. The SGP kit comes with a real nice cleaning cloth, a super awesome rubber Air bubble removal tool, and a 4-pack of dust removal stickers. There was also a nice marketing piece in there to show off some of their other products.
The Rubber Air bubble removal tool really surprised me. I thought, "No way will this be better then a credit card". Well I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. The tool is pretty tough, like a big pencil eraser that you could simply erase the air bubbles away.
The cleaning cloth feels really good too is bigger then most models you get from the other guys. This one is thicker and softer.
The screen protector itself is thicker then most and noticeable right out of the pack. There is only 1 "protection" piece that you remove during installation. Some protectors have both sides covered. In this case, the protected side is the side that has the "glue" on it. So only tamper with this when you are ready to begin.
Here are some very important notes that will make this extremely satisfying on the first go:
1. DON'T USE WATER!
- On some of the cheaper protectors, you can apply a mist of water to ease up the positioning of the protector once applied. This is NOT the case with these. These have a thin film of "glue" that actually will start to break down if wet. So clean the screen very good.
2. USE PROPER LIGHTING!
- I suggest being close to a very bright window so you can easily spot any dust particles.
3. TAKE YOUR TIME!
- Don't rush
4. ONLY PEEL BACK ENOUGH TO GET YOU GOING!
- Don't rip off the protective sheet completely until the toward end. Just peel back enough to start.
5. START FROM THE TOP!
- Align the top/camera hole first. I found this easier to actually FOLD the protective sheet back and hold it out of your way. Make SURE the top is ALIGNED properly. You don't want any overhangs on the bottom.
6. WORK OUT BUBBLES AS YOU GO. DON'T WAIT UNTIL LATER!
- Working out the bubbles as you go allows you to make sure there are no dust particles hidden in one of those air pockets. If you work out the pockets as you go, half of the screen protector would still have the protective layer on it. You can easily raise up that section of the protector from the glass and use one of the included stickers to nab the dust particle before you move on.
7. REPEAT UNTIL YOU ARE DONE!
- Marvel at the glory!
Here are reasons for why I love the MATTE Ultra Fine!
1. It's MATTE = No Glare
2. Never have to wipe off finger prints!
3. Never gets grimy (sticky) after playing games for a few hours
4. Looks superb/quality
The Ultra Fine is currently $24 but worth the extra cost for the benefits. Highly recommended!
http://www.spigen.com/tablets/google/google-nexus-7-remium-lcd-protection-film-steinheil-series.html
Bonus!
The Reason why I switched to a Anti-Fingerprint Matte?!
I am a IT Tech. I was working on a military base for 2 weeks and using my Transformer religiously. Tablets back then were semi-new (iPad 2 had just come out). I was talking to one of the girls who seemed interested in my tab and she briefly mentioned how nasty they look from all the fingerprints. I hadn't noticed before but after a long day, they really piled up and with the screen off, they glared out. I was trying to persuade her how awesome it was, yet she didn't even want to touch it... and that's not very sexy at all!
So I researched and found SGP Ultra Fine and purchased a protector for my Transformer TF101. Never looked back. Having your screen look amazing all day, every day without constantly cleaning it or wiping it down is a curse lifted. Long live SGP so they can protect all of my screens in the future!

Great review man!! I've used SGP before for my Inspire 4g and the protection to me is awesome. Quick question I've never used the anti glare/anti fingerprinte matte ones, could you comment how it feels? I know it won't be glass like but I kinda don't like the ones that feel too grainy if you know what i mean. thanks

Really good review! I have a eBay Matte screen protector and it's actually not bad at all. I love how the screen looks now as it's matte and anti-glare, finger prints are barely an issue as you say.

I actually like the way the screen feels with the matte. It is still very smooth; it doesn't feel grainy. To me, it just feels better, even with a stylus. Perhaps I'm just used to it from my Transformer. The AntiGlare and FingerPrint Resistance is a solid win to me (on top of protecting the screen).
Most LCD/TV's have a MATTE screen. Rubbing on some LCD's around the office, it is similar texture/feel... but the SGP is slightly smoother.

Love SGP.
It's a better "swipe" experience than clean glass, IMO. Viewing outside, GPS use, etc... and the Matte really shows it's worth. Plus no prints
RF
P.S. Steam up the bathroom and get some surgical gloves.

How is it with the rainbow issue matte screen protectors tend to have? I bought a cheap one off Amazon and it was terrible. I don't want to make the same mistake before ordering this

Beiuns Tempered Glass Screen Protector [First Impressions]

When shopping for a tempered glass screen protector for this phone, I decided to go with the Beiuns protector on Amazon UK due to the great reviews which unfortunately were not specific to the P9000.
The protector itself came well packaged and accompanied with all the wipes and stickers required for the application process (use the guidance stickers, they'll help you a ton). Application was a breeze but after a while, I began to notice that the protector does not adhere very well at the very edges of the screen. This is impossible to notice unless looking at the phone from an angle. This may be the cost of having the protector so flush to the edge of the phone.
The glass itself feels like... glass? A little tacky at the moment but I'm sure once my oily fingers lubricate the glass the experience will be much smoother. Unfortunately, this protector does have one rather substancial caveat; there has been a dramatic reduction in touch screen responsiveness which gives the illusion of a slow and uinresponsive phone. Light taps are left ignored and scrolling just doesn't feel as smooth.
It is because of the responsivness reduction that I would advise against getting this protector. You can check it out on Amazon here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...ummary#mobile-twister_size_name_1472216732457

I have this same exact issue. Sometimes light touches are completely ignored. Can get really annoying especially when typing or trying to swipe-type.
