I just asked the guy at the zagg stand if he could cut a HD shield for me from the iPad 3 and he said yes. It looks great with the HD protector.

Ghost Armor is the Shizzz. Ive trusted them with many of my devices for the past 3 years. Crystal clear and finger prints are a breeze to wipe off.... plus if it ever gets damaged or starts peeling, the replace the whole thing for $10.

Another vote for SGP Steinheil. Once it goes on, you can't even tell it's there. No tacky rubbery feeling, no dimpling orange peel effect, just smooth glass.

[review]: Realook screen protector UPDATED w/PICS

So I got the realook screen protector yesterday.
attached are some pics of:
1. what you get
2. trick on applying the screen protector (or any screen protector for that matter)
3. and some shots of the N7 with the screen protector.
packaging is pretty nice. instead of cardboard, the envelope is plastic.
it comes with the screen protector, cleaning cloth and a screen wipe towel.
impressions:
definitely as good as powersupport usa.
there is ZERO lift around the edges of the device. which means no dust getting trapped around the edges making the screen protector ugly.
the screen protector is spot on. it matched the dimensions of the tablet nicely.
sorry about the one spot on the bottom right of the N7. dust. lol.
also, screen protector does not affect the touch sensitivity and functioning of magnet case.
easy of install: 9/10 (use the tape trick)
screen clarity: 9/10
cost: 9/10

I Just got confirmation of my realook screen protector. Its on its way so as soon as I get it ill do a review.

I bought and installed a Zagg InvisibleShield on my N7. I was happy that it didn't degrade the sensitivity at all and I can rest a little easier knowing that the screen is protected a little more.
I know the screen is Corning, but it's still not officially Gorilla Glass.
I'm interested in buying a case, but haven't found anything decent yet.

Spray it thoroughly and the screen a good bit. Making sure to cover the ports as you spray.

I ordered mine on the 11th, should be here today (22nd). I opted for the free first-class envelope mailing.
I have one on my N7 and GF's Note 2. Pretty good for the price. Just got my 10 today going to order one
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Got mine yesterday, order to the uk so the shipping was pretty fast. the screen protector is great doesn't reduce quality at all after its done setting and almost invisible, from what i seen when i was applying it its pretty strong
I'm not too crazy about it. I put it on, gave it ample time to cure. The screen protector has a very tacky feel to it, slightly more than ZAGG's Invisishields do (not saying ZAGG is better by any means). I normally don't notice it on a smaller screen, but the effect seems amplified on a tablet somehow. I may just opt for a screen protector from SGP.
I left the back protector on, though I wish they'd left cutouts for the embossed logos. With how much you have to keep the film wet, it's easy to get moisture trapped in the recess, which becomes very difficult to get out.
For less than $10, it really isn't bad, though.

Thanks for the picture bigox, it looks good.
Corcor, do you have a screen protector on yours? I got the obliq and it actually fits perfect, I was concerned that some cases may peel the protector off on edges.
I was worried about the orange showing but I saw one in store it is not that bad actually. The case feels soft but I believe it still provides protection.
Did you ever drop your phone with this case on? I am planning to return Diztronic case and get this instead (yeah, 4 times the cost, but it seems like a good one, although I cannot find a single review of anyone owning this for G2)

No microphone hole for AT&T version. That's why I passed on Slim Armor, yes it looks great, probably looks the best among all bulky cases. One reviewer got a response from Spigen saying they will update it, I wonder if they updated it...

The screen protector is very thick and feels just like it's not even on there. It does not cover edge to edge, has plenty of room for a case. I to recommend this screen protector.

Just got mine in today, ordered on Wednesday.
I'm surprised that it came with 3 instead of the 2 that's advertised.
I also like that it doesn't cover the front sensors
I'll see if I have enough time to put one on today. Hopefully it fits with the diztronic.

How does this protector feel? Does it feel plasticy or more like glass?
I'm curious to know as well
Okay so I just put this on my phone.
I'm hating how LG design the curved edges of the screen right now.
I have the oleophobic ones and they are cut out correctly for the phone, but **** man. You have to be a surgeon to not have any bubbling edges, and that's due to the curved edges of the screen.
I managed to get mine in with only a bit of the top bubbling up, but it doesn't worry me as my hopefully prevents it from coming up.
The Diztronic fits good with the screen protector and doesn't post the edges up.
It feels a bit sticky, but that is something common for the first few days. I'll report back after I get the stickiness off the protector
Clarity is great, screen looks pretty much the same as before.
My only gripe with the screen protector is that there's a bubble that isn't any dust that is on the bottom right of the screen. I'm hoping it goes away after some use and settling.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't cover any sensors, so there's not problem with knock on/off.
Also, after some use the stickiness is already coming off and it now feels much smoother.

So far the feel is in between glass and plastic. It feels much better than plain plastic, but sometimes gets the squeakiness of plastic when your finger is sliding around
Sent from my VZW LG G2
Just got mine in today. I can now swype with a clean screen! The bare glass is a bit sticky for swyping but this screen protector is great.
After a day I take back the stickyness. Its very close to bare glass. After a little greasing up she's slick but after a good cleaning its hard to swype because the finger sticks.
I'll be sticking with it for sure though because it fits very good with my DualPro and TPU case. No it doesn't cover the curved edges but I think my case would peel back a screen protector like that.
I really love the feeling of the G2s screen and hate putting on a screen protector but this one is as close as I'll get to that silky feeling I think.
