Who rocks their Nexus S without a screen protector?

Who does not use a screen protector on their nexus s? My invisishield just got really bad so I took it off. I think I will get a new one but who doesn't use one at all? You have any scratches?

I don't use one. Have had my NS for 13 days and no scratches yet!

Why would you use a screen protector? It would totally negate the amazing oliophobic coating that makes this device so special

Ive never had a screen protector on this phone, and ive had it since the day it came out. Not a single scratch on the screen.
Of course now that i say that im going to scratch it tonight.

I have a ghost armor screen protector and have been wanting to go no SP. Only thing stopping me are the painful pictures I've seen of the oleophobic coat wearing off.

I've had my Nexus One for about a year. I have a couple scratches on my screen even with Gorilla Glass. The scratches are definitely from keys. I also have a few nicks on the body. I went a month with a pouch/case and screen protector but after about a month I realized how you totally lose the design of a phone with cases'. So I think when I get my Nexus S, Im gonna use a pouch and just rock my phone fully NAKED, who cares if you scratch the screen or the body, Its just a phone. In about a year when your going to sell it, its already dated and worth little to nothing, How much is a 6/10 condition Nexus One Vs a 9/10 Nexus One?

im looking for a pouch too. i love the way the stock phone feels on my hand.
i'm not using any screen protectors for about a month, and no scratch till now

Because there are small spots on my screen where the coating is gone (or seems that way anyways). There are others who have experienced this also in the big "oleophobic coating" topic. It can only be seen under light in a certain angle, but it's definitely there. The screen protector negates the effect so I don't see it anymore. Weird, but that's why I use a screen protector.

No screen protector. No scratches either

I don't use a screen protector, had my phone since the week it was launched in the UK and I don't have any scratches on it.
I always think they look rubbish, no matter how neatly they are put on.

i dont even use one on my evo, unless your working in the trades I dont think most people will benefit from using a protector

No screen protector since day 1 in december, no scratches either despite some bad drops on concrete which have dented the plastic around the screen.
Glass is tough!

I think building up a castle around a phone is "iPhone user style"

Screen Protector!!!

Hey guys! I know the phone is still new but have you guys gotten you're hands on any good screen protectors for our phones? Clear, anti finger print, anti glare etc. let me know guys share you vast knowledge!!
Me personally I'm using the screen protector that comes with the phone when purchased haha! I noticed it was fading from being used so i ended up rubbing all the text off now i have a pretty decent screen protector to last me until i get heavy duty one!

I may be alone in this, but I think screen protectors are overrated. The biggest danger to the screen is shattering and no screen protector will prevent that. Unless you have diamonds in your pockets I cannot imagine scratching it without breaking it completely. .

That is a good point, which would go more towards purchasing a case rather than a screen protector, though i have a major pet peeve when it comes to my screen having any sort of scratch..let alone cracks..but IMO i do believe having a well made screen protector on or screens do provide a lesser chaw of getting cracks if the device were to drop!

I am using the gadget guard screen protector, i really like it it is heavy duty, anti glare, and anti finger prints, very easy to install, can be installed with wet or dry installation. It was a little hazy yesterday when i installed it, but really clear today, took about twelve hours to clear up after wet install. But only using it till my otterbox comes in.

I agree with you about screen protector being uselessly, but with phone being so new you have to order a case, because my att store one had one, and it was for women, and the screen protector is a nice peace of mind till the case comes in.

So I just received the skinomi and got it installed. No pictures though sorry!
It was very easy to install. Came with liquid, squeege, and cloth!
It is very clear. Pretty much like the invisible shields if you have ever seen those.
Feel is also not that bad.
Fit is perfect and goes from corner to corner very well!
For less than 10 dollars on Amazon it is the best screen protector you can get.

I was using invisishield protector for a few a months. Was a pretty decent protector. Didn't tear, anti glare and all that jazz. I ended up taking it off about 4 months ago because the protector itself was scratched and to be honest, since I removed it I've been asking myself why I bought one in the first place. 4 months later, not a single scratch and I think I have enjoyed the phone more without it. Screen is clear, sharp and bright and still without scratches. Often put in my pocket with keys, lighter and other hazardous materials for out phones.

Generally, for the average person, I agree. But I work in dusty/sandy environments and every phone I have ever owned ends up with scratched on the screen, gorilla glass or otherwise.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might get a normal screen protector to put below the built-in one on the otterbox and see if that reduces the sensitivity for me.

Do we really need a screen protector?
The gorilla glass is already there right?
Is it useful?

same here, what will be the point in selling a super scratch free 2 years old obsolete phone .....
just like the slightly scratched glass on my iphone 3gs I gave to my kids as an ipod touch

I see I'm in the minority here but screen protectors just don't have the same smoothness as the gorilla glass. Coming from a Samsung Impression it felt like I was running my fingers on silk. And after 4 months of always being on my person I can attest gorilla glass is pretty kick ass. I've dropped the phone onto a gravel street and got very minimal damage. Now mind you the phone bounced, landed and skidded about 10' on the kevlar back so maybe it was just a small miracle it didn't shatter. But the only damage was a small knick in the glass on the top corner away from the touch screen and a small dent in the metal around the face. The kevlar took no damage at all. I've also had in a pocket with loose change and keys with no effect.
Now maybe I'm just lucky but the kevlar backing and silky smooth touch of the gorrilla glass as opposed to having to change screens and getting a bulky case that won't fit the HD dock just aren't comparable.

I go a couple of scratches on my screen, probably from it being dropped in the gym and all that good stuff. I went ahead and got a Zagg screen protector off amazon. It's not too bad for the 10 bucks I spent.

Best Budget Screen Protector?

I'm a big fan of DC Mugen screen protectors, usually buying from their ebay store. I bought 10 for my Nexus One, and have only used about 4 in almost 3 years, such good quality they are.
However I noticed that they've shutdown their store, and don't really sell much phone gear any more.
So can anyone recommend a similar seller of quality screen protectors at a budget/value price? Ones that lasts at least 12 months with no sign of peeling or degradation.

What's the clarity like? Because mist anti-fingerprints make the screen look fuzzy.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

If they make your screen look fuzzy then it sounds like you perhaps tried matt ones? Matt are usually better for anti glare and fingerprints, but they do make the screen look fuzzy all right.
The best type imho would be a crystal clear gloss type that would also help prevent fingerprints and smudges. I believe SGP ones might offer this but at a premium per protector.
I'm still searching on ebay for something decent with delivery to Europe.

No one with a Gorilla Glass phone should use a screen protector. They increase the weight and thickness, interfere with the proximity sensor and don't prevent scratches, as Gorilla Glass doesn't scratch, and therefore are a waste of money, time and resources. In my experience they're also harder to clean and leave adhesive behind.

You must be jokking right. Adding weight ?! Gorilla is not scratch resitant. I do not user screenprotector but you talk nonsense.

So I contacted dcmugen88 on ebay and they replied saying they'll have their screen protectors available once their store is back up (hopefully not too far off) :thumbup:
yes i have it but the store is currently down as we move our operations.
upon return we can ship for you

Clarity is great. Like it's not even on the screen. I've purchased this brand for my GNex, really like them.

Skinomi screen protectors are top notch and are comparable to but not as expensive as zagg. There is almost always a free shipping or X% off coupon at retailmenot.com, too.

I have tried a few different protectors. I hated most of them. Once ii stumbled upon DC that was were i stayed. I have been using DC anti glare for about 4 years now across 3 different phones. I will only change if he stops selling.
JD

I really liked RealLook
I had one for my Vibrant, then one for my S2.
Never had to change them out once I properly applied it.
I would stick with cheap ones. Only thing is, I don't know why they don't make any screen protectors that ONLY have a cutout or the earpiece.
I don't need a cutout for the proximity sensor/ light sensor/ FF Camera. That's superfluous. There's no reason to leave those exposed with stupid cutouts. The Screen protector is Transparent.
Anyway, that's my only complaint Plus, with our screen now, there's a hardware Home button. It'll be extremely easy to line up the earpiece cutout and the Home button cutout and the rest of the orientation will pretty much fall into place quite easily.

Anyone try the GLAS Screen protector before?

Scare that the screen will be cracked and I don't want to use the flip case. I wonder is that necessary to use the screen protector like this :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...otectors&var=460214742391&hash=item25833c60f5
it looks really good but the problem is will it too thick? and the price is seriously too high (for a screen protector).
Any suggestion?

But the glas.tr on amazon. It's tempered so if you drop the phone the screen protector might crack but your actual phone screen won't. Check some YouTube videos. Extremely durable.
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app

It's a good glass protector albeit at the typical high price. No regular screen protector feels as smooth as a tempered glass protector but you'd have to wait for the generic ones to show up on ebay if you're looking for a lower price.

I think a good Screen protector is definitely worth it. when I got my Note 2 last year I didn't use a screen protector and chipped my screen within a week of getting it.

Thanks for remind me it also sell on amazon and their company locate in CA which pretty closed to me!

I had one on my last device. Dropped it pretty nasty on concrete and while the Glas.Tr screen protector cracked in the corner, the device's screen was minty fresh and had no damage. If you drop your phone as often as I do, it's definitely worth it. I'm waiting till they officially release from Spigen on Amazon so I can use Prime on it.

Are the people on Amazon crying about bubbles popping up after a few weeks with the GLAS protectors typical morons, or is it not just a matter of user error?

Both lol they work fine. Ams Definitely worth the money

What brands are coming out with the 2.5D glass protector?

I'm still waiting for my N4, but my understanding is that edges on screen are rounded (sloped), so it's impossible have full screen protector?

Its not the rounded edges I was talking about. Rounded edges on screen protected make it smooth transition so it doesn't snag when you touch it's edge. However when it comes to sloppy edges of the screen itself, flat GLASS screens will not stick to the edge, because it can't bend to follow the curve of the screen.
