Hi,
I am thinking of buying SGP SHIELD Full Body SET for SONY Ericsson Xperia X1 on ebay... But I don't know what it will look like on my phone... Can someone please post some photos of their X1 that has applied SGP full body shield? How do you feel about it after purchasing??
Thanks
i'm sorry i don't have pictures to show you but i wasn't very satisfied with the body shield. it doesn't cover most of the edges around the phone so if you drop it, it'll still get some small dents at the corners. after a month or so, the edges started peeling off for me so i took it off. the screen protector is fairly good though, i've had it on for a few months now and there's only a few minor scratches on it, but you won't see it after the backlight is turned on. the screen protector fits perfectly so you wont have to worry about it being too big or too small
I've been using a matte screen protector on my Galaxy Tab since I got it. Loved that it barely needed wiping..but hated the "rainbow" color effect it had on the screen, particularly on whites. Replaced it yesterday with a clear/gloss protector and i like it better, even though it attracts fingerprints like anything. I was just wondering, since the SGT has a gorilla glass screen, do we really need to use a screen protector for it?
Does anybody use their tab naked?
(i'm talking about the Tab here being naked, not you)
I just feel like I might be missing out on a better Galaxy Tab experience because I keep my tab in a thick case with a screen protector.
I tired it once. It feels smother actually, and considering the gorilla glass, a protector isn't really needed. However, there's probably the psychological impact of it. You know, glass is still glass.
I use the tab naked and naked ;-)
no screen protector but a case that protects realy nice.

I am using the anti-glare screen guard.. it guards perfectly for my oily fingers hehe..
Sorry man, I don't think you will get a perfect answer. Some people's screens will have never scratched however some do get scratched although they are careful. Gorilla glass is not scratch proof, just more resistant to scratches than a normal non enhanced glass or plastic screen. There may be minerals in all sorts of places (cleaning cloth, pocket, car seat) which are harder than glass which could scratch your tabs screen.
The fact that you have been putting screen protectors in the first place and also have created this thread gives me the impression that you want a perfect screen. But there is always a trade off... no protection gives smoother and a greater touchscreen experience but a protector will prevent any possible scratches to your screen.
My advice would be for you to leave your screen protector on. Glossy is fine as fingerprints are not really visible when backlight is on.
I have used them for a while. I installed a XO Skin on my gtab and my 10.1 io. The best thing, (besides stopping scratches) is they hide finger prints and smudges. Heres a link

Same here and I have absolutely no scratches on the screen. I do however keep my tab in a case whenever it isn't in use.
i guess there is no definite answer to this, as with a lot of things, it comes down to preference...
honestly now that i think about it, having a screen protector gives me the peace of mind that i did everything I could to protect the screen. I let other people use it, i stuff it in my bag with more confidence. If i take the screen protector off I might end up being an over-protective galaxy tab parent, always polishing the screen, always checking for scratches.
I think i'll be sticking with the glossy protector for a while.
ps. can anyone suggest the clearest possible screen protector i could get?
I used my Tab for 4 months naked without issue, then got a little paranoid before going on holiday.
The day after the Techskin arrived (and before I put it on) I drop the Tab on my driveway resulting in 2 tiny marks The marks aren't huge, but I can't help but notice them everytime I see the screen
*sigh*
I have used a screen protector on all my past tablets ( my GT is my 5th tablet ).
Using the protector allowed me to sell my previous tablets (when upgrading to the next one) with a 100% looking screen.
I use the GT without a screen protector (and with a case permanently on), as I intend to keep it for a while - and at the time I will maybe want to sell it, it will not be worth too much whether there are slight traces of use on the screen or not. It does look better and has better touch sensitivity with no screen protector on - no doubt about that.
But if I ever get a scratch on the glass - I can still put a screen protector on, which makes that scratch disappear.
My second current table (iPad) has a screen protector on, as my small kids often play on it . Also, the ipad has no case on it (only a back cover) - so the front is more exposed.
I use skinomi on my tab, incrediable, and ipod touch. They are almost like a vinyl. Very clear and I had very small bubbles when I installed it but the next day all of the imperfections disappeared. Like if you get a piece of dust under there during installation you don't get the air bubble with it. And they are cut to fit.
I was given a screen protector when I bought mine in the shop. They even applied it for me I think it the brand was screenguard.
I have a case for the tab, so i don't know how scratch resistant it is. As for the screen, it still looks great, but at extreme angles, there are coloured grains when viewing whites.
Its overall very good and is sized perfectly, I sometimes forget there's a screen protector!
I used my tab without screen protector. Screen protector is useless for a gorilla glass. I already tried scratching my tab using a key and scissor. No scratch at all. Try it guys.

I got the Invisible Shield protector from Zagg. They had a 50% off deal going for Memorial Day, so it came to like $13. From what I read, I might not need it. But I still bought it, just in case. Now all I'm waiting for is my Tab to arrive from Woot!
I use one of those cheapy anti-glare matte screen protectors. It makes reading things on the tab a bit easier on the eyes and prevents a lot of fingerprint smudging, however it also covers up the nice screen. So it just boils down to preference since the tab's screen is made of gorilla glass.
Screen Protector definitely. I love the gloss screen but fingerprints annoy me and glare can be bothersome. I got 3 for $4 bucks and only used one so I figure if a huge gouge gets in the screen protector the screen will be good and I have 2 extras.
I acquired my gsm galaxy tab last week, and I am extremely pleased with it. However I have been using it without a screen protector or a case. Unfortunately, I have managed to get abminornscrstch on the screen of my Tab. I was travelling with it in my pocket, but I never kept it with anything else, nevertheless I somehow managed to scratch it. So now I am on the lookout for a decent screen protector as I suspect my device's gorilla glass screen is probably not the strongest, all devices are not equal, there will always be some minor variation in quality in the hardware between devices, eg, CPU - some can be heavily undervolted AND overclocked and others freeze even if you attempt a minor overclock.

It is not necessary to use a protector screen with gorilla glass!! Protect your Tab with a neoprene case!

I myself use that plastic film that came on my GTab when I bought it. You know, those cheap screen protectors that are added on at the factory before they get to the consumer. I just carefully peel the screen protector off, so as not to bend it, and then cut the little tab part off of it and rounded it out to fit the dimensions of the screen. Then I will spray water onto the tacky part that touches the screen and place it back on and the squeegee out the water to the edges. Works perfect every time, and it is removable and reusable. I do this will all of my phones too.
Matt screen protector all the way.

Hey all,
A little headsup I found an awesome screen protector. Thought I'd post it as theirs been an influx of "MASSIVE SCREEN SCRATCH" Threads.
This screen protector is military grade, does NOT scratch.
The only downside (could be an upside for some) is that it requires soapy water for install.
I have this screen protector and can not tell you how happy I am !!!
Check it out here
Once applied, all bubbles disappear within about 24 hours. Once its fully dried and bubbles are gone, its virtually invisible !!
It feels lovely to touch, you can feel it but its not a nasty feel like some of the other protectors. Almost the same sort of feel as an Xtreme Guard, but less rubbery !
If you want any more info feel free to ask.

Hi!
I'm planning to buy a screen protector and I might choose this one, can you tell me about how effective it is against fingerprints and smudges?
Well, I have a XtremeGuard screen protector which is also a soapy install screen protector and I must say it's nice. There are some major downsides like smudges and an orange-peel effect which happens if you don't install it correctly (also happens when you do install it correctly, but minor). The only way I can remove smudges off this thing is with water and a micro-fiber cloth which isn't something I carry around with me everywhere. That being said, dry screen protectors are the way too go. They can be cleaned easily (meaning smudges can be removed with your sleeve) and look better when the protector is installed on your device. I've gone through the Zagg Invisible Shield (the one OP posted), XtremeGuard's screen protector, and a normal screen protector and the dry one is the best in my opinion.

Hey, it hardly shows any finger prints at all. I've cleaned it once since install (month or two ago) and that was just a wipe with my jumper sleeve. Much better than the others such as the XtremeGuard mentioned below.

Hi, I also have an extreme guard on my HOX and I agree with your comment. However, and this will sound weird, try this:
Rub the finger prints in, with your finger. Untill they are really smudgy and horrible, then get your jumper sleeve and just wipe the smudge fairly hard. I'm telling you this works like a charm and gets rid of all finger prints !!
Here is my review for the Otao Tempered glass Double Strong screen protector. This will be a Honest review(it lasted 3 days).
I give it a 3 out of 5.
I received the Screen protector in a nice padded envelope that had a nice cushion to it and once i opened the envelope I saw a nice little box surrounding a foam insert. It really is well packaged and the directions for installation were fairly straight forward. Open box, Clean phone, apply alignment tool, apply screen protector. Only nitpick about the directions is it never says anything about the plastic protective film on the back side that keeps it from sticking(straightforward common sense but still should have been at least mentioned).
Onto the actual installation:
I had issues with it lining up properly. It kept lining up slightly diagonal so the top left and bottom right corners would not stick properly(more on this later). I attempted to align it twice and both attempts were diagonal so either my phone was made diagonally or the alignment tool was slightly... not aligned? Other than that the installation went fairly smooth.
Features:
This like many other screen protectors claim case friendly. I decided I was going to put that to the test. My case of choice? Spigen Tough Armor. You know what? It ACTUALLY was casefriendly. It would be a perfect fit other than my alignment issues but it was not lifting any where other than those 2 diagonal corners( this is where the 3 days come into play). The amazon page claims scratch resistant and "Super anti-Fingerprint". I tested out general day today scratch possibilities such as keys in pocket with the phone and sliding the phone around on the screen(don't judge.) and i can say it IS pretty good with day to day items. At the end on my 3 days there was not a single scratch on my screen protector. I was amazed. As for "Super Anti-Fingerprint", Sadly that is not so good. Within the first 5 minutes it was COVERED in fingerprints. When the screen was off it was unbearable to the point I had actually flipped the phone over(remember when I said sliding on the screen?). Another thing I noticed that doesnt say anywhere on the product page is that it is a "Dot Matrix" type screen protector.
Gripes:
Other than my few cons listed above with the alignment issues and fingerprints. The screen protector is fairly well made. However... due to said alignment issues The screen protector was not sealed properly and will no longer stick to the phone. Thus leading me to my next test, Durability. I, like a lot of you, am certainly not going to do a drop test on my phone to see if the screen protector does its job. Instead I did an off the wall method. After the screen protector no longer stuck to my phone I placed it on something raised(notepad if you must know) and dropped various objects onto it from 6ft away. It survived. So I did a bend test. It takes ALOT of effort to break one of these, but once it did break I noticed a problem. Its only a 2 layer protector. The phone itself will be protected from glass shards incase the protector breaks since the inside is a seperate layer HOWEVER the glass is right on top. It is VERY easy to cut yourself once it breaks. I think they could have added another thin layer to protect the user from glass. That layer would also help with the finger print issues aswell.
Final thoughts:
All in all its a pretty good screen protector. It does its job well, Protecting the screen. Some of the other claims it makes though... not so much.
My score? 3/5.
Sometimes the actual screen protectors are not cut straight,.not just the alignment tool.
Ive never had much success removing and replacing a screen protector due to possibility of dust and contamination etc. Your review is great, since it's informed me that one cannot install this screen protector on first attempt due to either the tool or cut of the screen protector. Which in turn for me is a major fail.
Thanks .

What tempered glass is everyone using for the V60? I don't use the Dual Screen, so I just need it to cover the phone screen.
Dmax glass was the thinnest glass screen protector I have ever seen for any phone I've put glass on ever.
Came in a pack of two. I chipped and cracked the edge of one with my fingernail simply taking the film off to install it. The second cracked in a couple days later from setting the phone down too hard I guess.
LK glass had poor adhesion. Large air bubbles on the edges of the screen. Bad enough I took it off after a month to try a diffrent brand. Noticed the sticky part of the glass felt subpar after uninstall.
Now using Zagg glass and its okay. Doable for now. However a thin ring shaped air bubble is present on the Zagg around the edges of the screen. It's thin and even, and can't be seen when the screen is on. When off it looks like its gonna start peeling up at the edges.
The issue I had with glass is that its too thick to close the cover if you have one on the phone and one on the sexind screen
AmFilm is what I put on the phone today. Came in a pack of three. Probably the best protector I've tried yet.
Thicker glass, might be a true 0.3mm. No bubbles or rings near the edges. Sticks very well, good adhesive.
Touch is good and looks are good with the screen off or on.
However, AmFilm is slightly (1mm?) shorter and narrower than the Zagg glass.
The Zagg glass was 0.26-0.23mm thick and covered more screen surface. The Zagg covers more screen surface than LK, DMax, or AmFilm.
However, the Zagg never adhered to the screen edges completely resulting in a white ring air pocket along the outer edges of the protector.
The Zagg glass was stuck to the screen very well when I removed it. The outer air pocket never did grow in size, was very narrow, just annoyed me to look at when the screen was off.
Overall the Zagg was a good option, but maybe not for those like me that value good looks as highly as I do.
The DMax Armor glass I tried was so thin, it might be an option for the dual screen case. DMax could have been 0.15mm thick possibly. Really similar to the Baseus ultra thin glass.
It's very fragile stuff as noted above, but again DMax might be as thick as double overlapped film protectors.
For those looking at a good protector here is the link for what I am using. Installs with ease, no bubbles and halos.
