Just for info, there's two in the box. it covers ONLY the screen that has the LCD. DOesn't cover whole face.
Never had issues sticking on these static type protectors but this one gave me hell. ruined both. the protector is slightly tacky. And will attact dust(like any like this) so make sure you're in a clean room. But both of my protectors wouldn't stick on the edges of the protector. and every time I tried to peel it up and putting it back down, it still didn't hold. Then dust got under it. augh. Ruined both. I wonder if they would take them back since both wouldn't stick on teh edges? Aww... they will probably say I'm returning it because I got dust under it.
i know how you feel! i bought them when i got my hd2 and i got the top two-thirds of the protector on perfect but then the bottom third somehow got dust underneath, it really not that bad when the screen is on but its still annoying. cant wait to get my invisibleshield on it tho!
order this, the maximum protection from zagg....

I used invisishield on my ipod. Great stuff, but hard to get on perfect. 3 parts for a curved back and front only covers the LCD part? The front part sounds so unlike them. They normally have it going round buttons and everything.
But it's like putting tint on. You need to have a liquid to make slide just right.
i used invisible shield on my iphone, and it was fully protected. It did add grip to the device which i liked. Anyways, the maximum protection shield covered more than the normal full-body shield. It'll cover not only the LCD screen but all spaces around the hardware buttons and well as the speaker.

I also got these same screen protectors and was dissapointed when it did not cover the entire screen.
Trick to putting on screen protectors.
1.) Make sure the screen is completely clean of all smudges etc.
2.) Use a can of air duster to remove any small dust particles that might be stuck on the phone. If you don't have that then just take a piece of tape and remove any dust particles or dirt from the screen. This is the most important part!
3.) Line up the screen protector on the screen where you want to place it.
4.) Peel back the backing of the screen protector as you lay the screen on the device. Start from the top of the device and work your way down. If need be take out a credit card or another hard piece of plastic of some sort to push out any air bubbles that may occur as you lay down the screen protector.'
5.) Enjoy a job well done.
It's interesting to note that all the previous posts are (I assume) from US members.
You get a screen protector with the phone and we here in the UK don't.
I have heard mention that when some EU units have been returned for screen problems they have been repaired with what has appeared to be a plastic version of the screen.
My phone is now coming on three months old, never had a protector, never used a case and the screen is immaculate.
Can anyone say if theirs "feels" like plastic?

My TMOUS HDC HD2 is definitely glass.
I didn't bother to use a screen protector (didn't even know there was one supplied)...it isn't necessary on a glass screen.
Its very hard to scratch glass...you would need a very sharp object, made out of a very hard material (harder than glass), applied with a lot of pressure. I've had my iPhone for 3 years, and the glass is flawless on it. The aluminum housing is scratched, dented, and dinged up, and the LCD panel has a little bit of bruising on the top left corner BEHIND the glass...but the glass itself is immaculate.
Apple actually pulled the screen protectors off the shelves from the Apple store because they felt they were unnecessary..and frankly anyone who pays for one on the HD2 or iPhone wasted their money.
You'll actually see more imperfections on the screen by applying a screen protector...they have a tendency to attract dust, bubble up, and flat out get dirty. The only maintenance you need to do on a glass screen is polish out smudges and finger prints.
The biggest peril to glass touch screens is cracks from falls....and if your HD2 suffers a big enough impact, a screen protector or 'invisible shield' won't do squat to keep it from cracking
glass or plastic..either way.. i was soooooooooooo confident i wouldnt scratch mine, until about a minute ago when i was in the process of wiping the glass(plastic) screen before putting on a screen protector, i noticed a little scratch...great. Should've put on a protector sooner...
From now on, I willl be putting on a screen protector unless the screen are made out of crystal sapphire or something..

We actually do not get an included screen protector. Only the black gel case, which imo is quite crappy... loose and flimsy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6117793#post6117793 Check out oy instillation of the Invisible shield if you are considering buying one. I bought the Maximum Protection and it covers almost everything besides for around the buttons on the bottom, volume rocker, camera, Micro USB/ 3.5 Headphone jack, and the finger nail grove on battery cover. I also would like to note that my TMOUS HD2 did not include any screen protectors in the box.
Sorry imo I have to disagree with you about the included gel being loose mine fits quite snugly and until my zagg comes in I prefer to keep it in the gel...not as slick & keeps the screen(when face down) off the flat surface.
A tipp for all you guys getting dust under the screen:
I always apply a new screen protector in my bathroom after showering - the steam in the air (the more steam, the better) binds most of the dust particles and makes it A LOT easier to get a perfect result!

I agree, I used to do this back in the day before Zagg came around. It works great.
I have read with other products people use a drop or water/soap water before applying a screen protector. Has anyone used this method on this device? i am concerned that the water will somehow ruin the device. I know it's only a drop or 2 but wanted to get some feedback first before i tried it.
Has anyone tried the Screenguardz product? It is made by NLU(the same company that makes Bodyguardz). I am trying to find a screen protector that is the most fingerprint and dust resistant.
I will have to give this a look. I'm OCD when it comes to fingerprints and smudges.
Have a look at this.It looks pretty cool

No Need for the screen protector. Its the special screen. I work in a machine shop with brass chips all over the place and keep my phone in my pocket and on a bench and I have absolutely no scratches on the screen. I got the phone in October. Getting a screen protector for the Hero is a waste. On the other hand, the screen on my ipod touch in same environment has scratches all over the screen.

The hero's screen is super hard but it is scratchable
Maybe it's harder than brass? I don't know much about hardness ratings but I know it is measurable.
It's very tiny but I did manage to put one scratch on mine (no idea how) before I put a zagg shield on it. I haven't tried anything else but I would recommend zagg, I like it.
Anyone know of good retailers that specialize in putting on screen protectors with no zero dust particles or bubbles on the Xperia Z? I upgraded from an iPhone 4s last week and I cannot even get this thing even near perfect on my own. I've been putting on screen protectors myself for the past four years on the 3gs and 4s 100% perfect with no dust or bubbles. This thing is just too big and the already added screen protector by Sony is extremely difficult to clean.
Hi there,
Since this is your first post, maybe you should tell first where are you from? In this way people from your area could help you .
But maybe this will help you how to put screen protector on by yourself:

The trick for perfect sticking of any screen protector is the use of soapy water. Just take some water (50-100 ml) and mix it with a drop of liquid soap. Then wet your fingers, wet the display, peel off the protective layer from screen protector (with wet fingers) and gently put it over the screen. The soapy water allows you to reposition if any misalignment. After alignment is ok, start squeezing out the water from the center to exterior. After max. 1 or 2 days (complete dryout) you have perfect screen protector applied without being an expert.

Nice tip memtronic, will try that next time.
Last year I got the JLG Nano is was pretty impressed with it. I had it for my Note 3. This year I have the M8 and JLG released a tempered glass version and I am just as happy with it as I was with the Nano. The Nano-t is made of glass material, feels great and is practically indestructible.
What I like about the M8 is that the screen is flat edged, rectangle. No camera or speaker holes to line up with. So the installation was really easy for this. JLG includes a alcohol prep pad which has proven to me to be the best way to clean a screen for screen protector installations.
Another cool thing I learned about this Nano-t is that normally screen protectors come with two tabs/films on both sides to remove. But this Nano-t only comes with one film to peel off from the sticky side to put on the screen itself. The other side, which is what you will touch does not need to have a film to protect it because it is scratch proof and anti smudge.
A deal breaker to me for screen protector is if it works with cases. I put a SEIDIO Surface case on it, which is a slide/glide hard case and the Nano-t worked just fine. No issues at all. So I was relieved to learn that fact.
For kicks and giggles I even put it through a key and knife scratch test along with a sharpie test. All passed with flying colors.
There really isn't anything negative other than that at times the screen is too smooth and my finger tip will slide on the screen. Other than that its a really nice tempered glass screen protector.
TIP: They are having everything 20% through July 4th weekend.

I can't seem to find a good screen protector. I know it's a common problem. I've tried the regular TGSP on my S8+, but didn't like the glare door the dust seeping through the adhesive. Tried several with LOCA, but it was such a hassle and they usually wound up cracked within a week of installation. I tried the wet application screen protector, which for some reason looked perfect on my wife's S8+, but always looked like crap on mine. Finally, I was super happy with Dendrobates updated version. It stuck down, felt smooth, and looked great.
Fast forward to the Note 8. I bought it used, though it was only a month old and he kept a TGSP on it since day one. The TGSP he had on it had allowed dust to accumulate between the screen and the protector and the touch sensitivity was horrible. I ordered the Dendrobates, since it was perfect on the S8+, and it didn't feel like the S-Pen would leave marks on it.
When it arrived, I took off the TGSP, and a speck of dust between the screen and the TGSP had actually etched a spot in the screen. (GG5 is SO SOFT!). It's no bigger than a speck of dust and can only be seen at an angle in bright light, but so frustrating!
I installed the Dendrobates, and it looks and feels perfect, and even makes the etched spot disappear, but it won't stick down on the left side, which is visually distracting and will allow dust under the screen protector. Which makes me worry about scratches. I reached out to them through email and @thescreenmax here, and their response was to refund me, which is fine, but sucks, because they're basically admitting their screen protector doesn't work.
99% of the screen protectors on Amazon are TGSP. No thanks. Dendrobates obviously won't work. And I'm worried about the wet application screen protector being too soft a d leaving marks from the S-Pen. I'm unwilling to go naked (though tempted), because I don't want anymore scratches on the soft glass. But I'm not sure what other options I have.
I love this phone, but finding a screen protector is ridiculously frustrating and annoying.
Goto agree its getting rediculos I wish Samsung back bring flat screen
Whitestone dome solves all
Hi. Iam relly statisfied by Tech21 screen protector . Its dry application works verry well. You will get a"mask" to aline them Perfect. Micro bubble from Installation will get away in 1-2 days.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-S8-Plus-Note-8-TPU-Film-Shield-Screen-Protector-2Pack/263262384028?hash=item3d4ba92f9c:m:mJhylcOrRnO06vA0IhPiPbQ
bought these from ebay & it fits perfectly into my Caseology Case. its not glass screen protector but still better than nothing at all.
I used to have one but got rid of it. With every screen protector no matter what brand eventually dust accumulates around the edges of it and also since the edge has additional touch functionality it's not worth the hassle for the reduced area available. I have the practice of keeping my phone in my right front pocket and never put anything else in that pocket. Result: best looking phone with zero scratches anywhere of any kind. I keep a case on it that is very minimal from Spigen, mainly to eliminate the issue of the back of the phone turning into a greasy looking fingerprint magnet that has to be cleaned several times a day...
