So, I keep getting a problem with ghost touches and grubby fingers and I wanted to get a screen protector. Opinions seem to vary wildly on them, so I was curious what everyone recommends. I was actually looking at the Monoprice ones (since they're under $5 shipped). Has anyone tried the the "high transparency" or "matte finish" ones from here?

Or is there another kind you like?
I have these http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-Anti-Gla...7?pt=AU_TabletAccessories&hash=item3cbd6dd853 and they work really well. Easy to apply as well.

Cool, thanks. I might have to get those. .... I like this part.... "Accessory ONLY. Device not included" ....darn!
Having a spare is nice too!
I use xoskins. They have a lifetime warranty and they look better than anything else
Thanks. I ordered the ones Zires mentioned -- just awaiting shipment. We'll see how they work out, but for $3.11 I'm not out too much.
@ponyboy82,
Still good for me. The matte finish is great.
I am using the one that came with the Aegis case. After about 4 months it has started lift up around the edges so the time may have come for a new one.
Do any of those screen protectors that claim to allow for reading in daylight really work?
thanks you for the info
Just following up... I finally received and applied the screen protector that zires suggested, and it works great. The installation went pretty well -- I used the hot shower trick as well as some tape on a pen to pick up a couple stray pieces of dust. I actually failed to line it up correctly so had to pick the whole thing back up and reapply it, and it still turned out great. This was actually the best screen protector install I've done.
If anyone else is looking for screen protectors, I'd really recommend the matte/anti-glare ones. It sounds like any of them should be about the same. I actually ordered some for a couple of our phones. I haven't tested daylight reading yet, but it definitely cuts down on smudges and glare, and I haven't had ghost touches happen again yet. The NC won't magically get brighter, but just reducing glare should help in daylight. It does cut down on the clarity a little, but overall not too bad.
I really like the Monoprice matte screen protectors -- I've used them on a number of devices (including the NC) and they are extremely durable, they don't have reflection problems, and their surface feels a lot better than some of the other screen protectors I've found on Amazon/E-Bay.
They're the typical static cling type.
Check out ebay, I bout 4 for 5 bucks shipped, I bought screen covers for my phone tablet and all r great quality, they r generic but u won't notice the diffrence

Hey there fellow Nexus 10 enthusiasts.
So I absolutely love my Nexus 10, but the glare is killing me while using it on the daily train commute. I've tried googling for matte screen reviews but they seem pretty hard to come by.
I don't really care about a film for 'protection' purposes. I only care about reducing the glare. Ideally it won't mess up the underlying image too much, which from what I can find is probably going to happen. Any advice/insight would be greatly appreciated!
here's one:

and another:

i haven't tried either, so can't comment on their effectiveness

Although some might say it is a crime to put an anti-glare protector on this beautiful screen, your particular usage probably warrants it. I would try this one. It does not require water to apply and there are 3 in a pack. It is pretty common to use at least two before getting it right.

you also can try this one:

i have the ultra clear HD version of this screen protector and it's quite good.
I can't decide between the HTC One and the GS4 for one reason only: body damage. All the reviews so far have been about the usual stuff, but no one mentions what possibly could happen in the future. Now, all my previous phones have been plastic, and the scratches and damages have been minimal. But I was just wondering, with the metal and all, how badly it would get affected? Would the body degrade after a year?
Some reports say that the S4 is worse than the One or Iphone 5 in terms of durability. But i want to hear from the users themselves what the reality is.
P.S: I won't use a case, because i'm not about to buy a good phone and ruin its looks with a case.
Appreciate your honest feedback!
Thanks

I had an S3 prior to my One, and have vowed not to go plastic again, as after 12 months my S3 especially the back was covered in ugly scratches, even the plastic case I had on for a month scratched the S3.
The One is made from an aluminium alloy since Aluminium as a pure metal I am sure is way too soft, I think Al-Mg-Si is probably the elements but I dont know the mix.

Oh I didn't know that the S3 could get that bad. Most people have said that plastic handles it well. Thanks for your help though.

What a wonderful on-topic post! Thank you soooo much for your kind help and tip. You have solved all my problems.
After having my One for a week , I have managed to bump into the corner of the table and that corner tap into the camera area and shattered the lens cover and damaged the camera modules, it wasn't hard but with sheer bad luck it dented the surrounded area (hardly visible due to no scratches) but it's there.

Seriously, if people thought about what could happen in the future no one would buy anything. Like you I don't really like cases but after paying nearly £500 on this phone I decided to buy a nillkin case off eBay for under £5 and it hardly adds any bulk to the phone, I've still had people ask what phone I've got and been impressed

Ah that's a really nice case. Thanks. Minimal and clean. I was looking at a DoubleDip case as well but it seems a bit odd. This is definitely cheaper and better.
Has anyone used a tempered glass screen protector for this phone, I know it doesn't cover the whole screen, just wanted to know what people think about it. I've already ordered 3 pieces from different suppliers to see the differences, and whether it goes well on the phone.
id be interested to know if you get a good 1 cause ive bought the mobilefun version and it failed bad i got a full refund within 10mins of applying it. so cross that off your list lol

I have a few coming in during the next few day, I will try them out and give you some feedback, it's hard to use PET after many years of using a glass protector, so I have to try it out.
do you still have the protector, can you post a photo of it.
thanks
thanks, a good idea will be to provide some info on were u got em and i will have a look into getting some different ones and trying them out. right now ive bought "3x Vikuiti™ MySafeDisplay Screen Protector DQCT130 from 3M for Nokia Lumia 930" from "protectionfilms24" these work well enough but would love to have glass as ive got it on my other devices! thnx

I get them all from china, from some of the suppliers.
once i'll posted the results, and if it's positive, i'll see if I can ask the supplier or shop to put some online.
Update
Apprently I received the 3 glass protectors today, and i'm completely disappointed with them, it seems like glass protectors are out, i'm using my old pet A.R.M station one now which seems to fit the best so far, apart from the sides about 3 mm, the whole of the surface is covered, may be i'll try something like invisible shield next.
There isn't point in posting photo's, it's a waste of time.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the experience anyways.
I'd also say get one with wet apply, if you live in europe Invisishields are by far the best I think, at least in Germany others like Skinomis are really expensive to ship. I got myself an Invisishield, and it's really good so far. It covers up the whole area, except for an extremely tiny part which is good since it doesn't get loose on the edges. The only thing I don't really like about it is the feel, it's a bit rubbery, but I guess that's due to the type and in normal use it doesn't really bother me.

I've actually used invisibleshield before, the rubbery surface will wear out, and it will discolour overtime, but it's our only option for better protection.
Off topic Q: have you used the official flip case CP-637, i'm interested in the green one to compliment my green phone, but thinking the green will get very dirty quickly, so do you think the black is a better option.
checking out a few screen protectors from ebay
invisble phone guard
front and back and sides USD 19
extreme guard
front and back USD 10
screenknight
front and back USD 14.50
not available from invisible shield.
they are all very cheap, do you know if they are all the same.
update:
I got the xtreme guard from their site, it was more expensive at USD 10.99, then shipping on top which was about USD 6, from ebay it's USD 10 with shipping, but found on the internet a 85% off discount, so I purchased 2 sets which adds upto USD 9.17.
good saving
Hello Group
I should be getting my S21 Ultra any day now (I hope) anyway Ive read that it comes with a screen protector and Ive also read that it doesnt, so does it come with one and even if it does do you guys put another one on top of the one that came with the phone?
And feel free to recommend one too. Thanks
What are you asking?

In certain places, it comes with a screen guard and in some places, it doesn't! The best one in my experience is the one that comes with the phone... Other than that, everyone else has some problem or the other!

If you're living in the best country in the world the USA then it won't come with a screen protector. Just a thin clear factory film that has a pull tab on the top right hand corner.
Rumor has it Samsung stopped applying screen protectors to it's devices sold in the USA. Because folks were returning the complete phone or creating mass warranty claims due to marks on the plastic supplied screen protector. Thus Samsung ceased it for this market. Wasn't worth the hassle.
I believe the snapdragon variants don't come with the screen protectors (US models) the Exynos ones do (Non-US models) I personally like whitestone glass protectors (they can be a pain in the ass to get on, but once you get the perfect fit it's like they're not there)

I have the snapdragon version which came with a pre installed screen protector (got the phone a week ago). The pre installed protector is pretty good but I replaced it with an amfilm glass protector which is amazing!
Hey, Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the US version at least I hope so

They don't come with screen protector. But I'm sure yours will, I feel it inside my bones.
