Are you guys happy with the quality of the Zagg Screen Protectors?
I have one for my Vogue and love it. Got a full body one for my wife's BB pearl and the edges where there is a lot of curves didn't last well, but the screen and back are still in tact.
Not to bash on ZAGG but...

Comparing the ZAGG to the BSE.. I'll be waiting for BSE to release there's.
i love the zagg, screen only though.
have had a shield zone for all my electronics sine 05 excellent product
I already ordered my Zagg a few days ago, but after receiving my phone I am a little concerned about the lens protruding out like it does. Is there anything I can install over that to prevent it from getting scratched up?
i got it on my zune hd, its good, but it make the screen/color looks little weird.
I've had my white g1 that has the chipping problem for a year now and...needless to say my screen is the only thing that's still flawless.
I ordered a skin for my G1 from Best Skins Ever when I first bought my phone. Never recieved the skin; Never got my money back. I'm glad I only lost 10 bucks and not more. Now I have a Zagg Screen cover and a Zagg Skin for the body. Great quality product. My sister bought one for her iPod as well. I'm definitely ordering the full body kit from Zagg when I get my Incredible!!!
I have the zagg screen protector for the droid and totally love it. I think it actually improves the screen sensitivity and reduces fingerprints. I got it installed at best buy and they really went the extra mile to make it perfect (upon my request).
No bubbles or dust under it and its completely square on the screen. Ive been installing Zagg's myself for years on storm and mogul but just decided to save myself the headache and splurge and give the headache to someone else.
It took him 2 different shields but he got it and i gave him lots of props for it since it took like 30 minutes!!!
How about we get some high resolution pics up in this thread?
Sent from my ADR6300 I bought my incredible from bestbuy they gave me the zag for free and did free install
Picked up one from BestBuy as well. You pay a few bucks more locally, but they are good protectors. Had one on all my iPhones and never had issues with them.

disappointing
I received the zagg screen 10 days after I originally ordered it and I can honestly say it wasn't worth the wait or the $15. It falls short of expectations which is not many given the nature of the product. I followed the directions and was suprised to find out that I had to apply a liquid solution to the shield and apply it to the electronic lcd display, but I did it anyways. They sent the screen along with the application solution and a black sponge in a plastic container that could not be resealed so I'm not able to save the liquid. I put the screen on, applied the solution with the sponge, and used the squeegee card to get out most of the bubbles as best as I could. Hours later the bubbles still remain with tiny black chunks from the sponge, and also what looks like spider cracks within the invisible shield. Apart from the screen being far from invisible, it just doesn't feel right under my fingertips. I go to swipe and there is too much friction between my fingertips and the screen creating lag due to the rubbery feel. I ordered a clear slim back shell case from HandHelditems.com that came with a free screen protector for my ipod touch for $3.84 and the screen protector is much better than the invisible shield. I don't understand how this company sells this junk to the masses, but they can take their "self-healing military grade" marketing bs and shove it because it ain't worth the trouble. Save your time and money and buy something else.
Mine works great. followed the instructions exactly. Ill blame it on operator error.
yup my zagg fits and looks and feels flawless. its an essential piece to any high end device. best buy owned me for 22$ though

I've always been one to use screen protectors on my displays, even on gorilla glass. With the nexus 7 using an unconfirmed type of corning glass (ie it might not be gorilla glass and instead just have a scratch resistant coating), i figured to go shopping.
XO skins is the company I've been buying from recently. It is very easy to find coupons that will work online. They work really well, although they can feel a bit rubbery. They do NOT have the orange peel texture companies like zagg are known for. Since it is a wet installation, it is sometimes possible to see "rainbow streaks" under the screen over a white background. If you run into this problem, shoot them an email and they'll send you a replacement. Customer service is excellent.
http://xoskins.com/laptops-tablet-r...in-protectors/google-nexus-7-screen-protector
This next one i haven't tried, but it differs from the above protector in that it is a static cling installation. This would probably be good for those who are against wet installations, or fans screen protectors from companies such as steinheil. This one is anti-glare though, so it is likely that it has a matte-textured or cloudy display.

We should be seeing more in the next few weeks. If you find one, post it
until then, cheers
I'll definitely be going with the Skinomi: I've done both Skinomi and ZAGG, and ZAGG is just too sticky for my taste. IMO, my fingers just glide over the screen much easier with a Skinomi protector.
I've always gone with xoskins and their customer service is AMAZING. No joke, if you feel unsatisfied with your screen protector, just email them and they'll most likely send you a new one. I got one for my Galaxy Nexus though one thing about these types of screen protectors is that dents and marks got onto them pretty easily. Even so, I'll still be getting an xoskin for my Nexus 7 (assuming I get one soon).

+1 SGP for screen protectors & skinomi for silver carbon fiber kit
SGPs are great but expensive. I've bought 5$ screen protectors from Frys that have the same quality as my SGPs. Skinomi intends to scratch very easily and it doesn't self heal. Never had experience with XO skins though and I'm not a big fan of water based once anymore since they seem to dent and scratch easily X_x..
I am not a fan of protectors. I don't use one on my Sony EReader (soft screen) or my Motorola phone (Gorilla).
Both have cases, and are scratch-free after a couple of years use.
That works better for me.
Here's what SGP CS wrote back to me when I asked if they plan to make a SP for the Nexus 7
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen.com.
Thank you for your interest in our products! As of now, we don’t have any definite plans to make screen protectors for the Asus Nexus 7 Tablet. However, if there is increased interest from our customers, we may change our production plans in the future. Please check our website for any updates time to time.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you.

Funny thing is that they usually reply with that for most new products if I'm not mistaken.
I'm hoping Clarivue will make a Nexus 7 protector soon. I've always like them, but I'm an acrylic protector kind of person. Just never cared for the "rubbery" feel. I'll put up with the very occasional minor scratch that you can't even see when the screen's on in exchange for a feel that's identical to the screen itself.

There is a local mall booth that installs/sells protectors for a decent price, I always like having them do it because guaranteed no bubbles, no shipping time, and $5 replacements for life. I just hope they carry tablet protectors.

I normally just use cheap ones of ebay on my phones which work well enough however my father got a samusung 10.1 and I think because of the size the static as you pull off the second layer just sucked any surrounding particles to the skin.
I bought one from bestskinsever which is a wet application one and it worked very well and was decently priced so I'm planning to get one from them for the Nexus and my new HTC One XL.
I sent a query on their site and got an initial automated reply, the more queries they got for the Nexus the quicker they will start making them.
I used to use typical screen protectors, but I feel they are easier to get bubbles and dust stuck under them and are much less forgiving for mistakes. This is an even bigger problem with larger screens.
I now only use wet application screen protectors, such as InvisibleShield (too expensive), BestSkinsEver, and Prestige / XtremeGuard. There are much easier to apply after practicing on other devices, much more forgiving as if you don't align right, you can easily remove as it's still wet and just spray more of the solution on (water + drop of dish detergent). The secret is to make sure it's always wet when applying and then once it's on, squeegee..if it's not on yet, keep it wet. They do have a bit of texture, but I don't mind it.
I ordered XtremeGuard from ebay for $9 shipped.. much cheaper than the alternatives right now and it ships quick from Utah. I also ordered a folio style case specifically for the Nexus 7 from ebay (shipped from Hong Kong) .. i made sure it was specific because others are selling Kindle Fire cases, but this one has specific slots for speaker and other inputs and is under $10.
Also to the person wanting full body skin...it doesn't make sense to cover the soft back of the Nexus 7 with something like InvisibleShield.
Edit: Links if it's alright:

Yeah, I wouldn't go with anything other than XOSkins.
I'm absolutely 100% satisfied with the way they've worked on my Nexus.
I "pre-ordered" my Skinomi case from Amazon last week. They estimate 8/1 as the shipping date. That could mean two weeks without a screen protector. My OCD-ness won't like that.

Yep, I heard these are junk. Boxwave posted their entire stock of accessories discounted on Slickdeals website. There are hardly any reviews about these screen protectors, and whatever they have on Amazon is rated low.
I will like to have my own opinion on their quality. I will gladly pay 3 dollars for that

I went through half a dozen of cheap ebay screen protectors from different sellers hoping I will find that diamond in the rough Didn't happen. I even tried premium ones, like Spigen. Now, I'm on iSmooth and appreciate it more No matter how many reviews you read/watch, you make the final call on what you like!
I think a diamond in the rough is tech armor. I really like it and Recco it. I an a sucker for good deals on screen protectors though.

So, if you found tech armor to be the best, why do you continue searching for other ones, and I assume testing them out? I'm in kind of in a same boat, went through a bunch where some were too thin, others too thick, some left s-pen marks, others had annoying rainbow effect, and some didn't stick as well. Now, I settled on iSmooth and don't want to remove and reapply anything else. Even with my last "final" install I didn't clean up phone screen 100% and probably left a tiny area around home button oily where I see sp didn't make a good contact (my fault). But I just don't want to rip it off, clean the phone and re-apply it again. I too love good deals, but don't want to keep reapplying new sp. Now, got UAG case on order and that one comes with its own screen protector which some say is a good quality. Plus, Scott/JLG mentioned in another thread he will be coming up with dry install sp... It never stops lol!!!
I like screen protectors. Cell phones and screen protectors are my hobbies.My favorite one that requires soap water is phantomskinz and I have tried them all. I just got into these dry installs a I am very impressed. I like to test them out and I keep going back to tech armor
one quick question, does this sp cover the whole phone, or leave a few sections such as top or bottom.
alas...the code is no more..
There was a problem

Hat Tip to the OP though! Thanks, was worth a shot =]
Hey guys, I installed the Zagg Glass on my M8 and so far so good.
Installation was easy but I did notice that Zagg's "Micro fiber Lint cloth" does more harm than good, then again I noticed the same thing with their Plastic screen protector. I'd recommend not using it unless you boil it down/rinse it to death.
It'll leave it's own lint on your screen.
Other than that I have no complains.
The Glass itself is smoother than the glass on the phone and it resists smudges quite well.
I live in San Diego so when people use my phone their hands aren't the driest since it's been 90+ lately. Yet when they were done there were no smudges. The edges are rounded like The Glas.Tr from Spigen and I have absolutely no bubbles at all.
I had the BodyGuardz ScreenGuardz Pure before this and I can definitely say it was an upgrade.
I will corroborate your review. Pretty good quality, the feel is excellent and even more so oleophobic than the stock screen in my opinion. I can't even tell it's on there, and the screen isn't compromised at all. Worth the $40.
The lint cloth caused me no trouble although it didn't really help either.
The only gripe I have is that when I was "smoothing out" the bubbles, it says to press down hard, and I used the lint cloth along with some force from my thumb nail, and if you tilt it in the right light you can see exactly where I pressed down with my thumb nail in several spots...just small depressions in the shape of a nail tip. Didn't think an "industrial strength" glass/plastic would be easily indented by a thumb nail. In any case, its a small neurotic thing that doesn't bother me much, just something I noticed. Overall pleased.
4/5 Stars
I'll be the third to say I bought one of these and I love it. Can't beat a lifetime warranty either.
Probably my second favorite outta all the ones I've had. Tried almost every glass protector. Mime feather is still my favorite, but this is close.
Well... I really wanted to stay away from zag due to past experiences with their products. Being that my brand new spigen light armor hadn't arrived, I went to the local best buy to find a cheap screen protector until I could get more money for the glastr shield. Cheapest one there was a invisishield for 25 bucks, damn.... Then for only 5 bucks more was the glass zag shield, plus the life time warranty.
I had no choice. I would for sure get my screen scratched up while working.
So anyway, to my suprise, I couldn't be any happier with this screen protector. No dust, no bubbles, no edges peeling, no fitment issues, no headaches. This glass protector Sh*** on wet installs, and plastic shields. Also, it fits very nice with the spigen light armor. Also it really does resist fingerprints and smudges. 10/10

Best Buy link
Does anyone have details regarding the "lifetime warranty" disclaimers? Curious about what is covered and how many replacements, etc.
I have the Bodyguardz glass protector that I bought at the AT&T store. It works fine and I like it but it is thick. They didn't have any dot view cases in stock and I ordered one while I was there. I also asked if the case would work with the protector (because of the added thickness of the glass) and they said it "probably" would. Well, yesterday the case arrived in the mail and it won't close because of the Bodyguardz protector.
Can anyone in here tell me if the dot view case will work with the Zagg glass protector?
wow $40? I also hate best buy so will not shop there ever.
What about the glass screen protectors on ebay for $5-15, sounds more reasonable.
I used to avoid screen shields like the plague because of finger smudges, difficult installs, and bubbles/defects. But I'm in love with the glass shield. I'll corroborate all the above and say it's a simple install and resists fingerprints much better than the regular screen.

The nice thing is you get a lifetime warranty. If you choke it down and buy it from best buy, I think they charge 7.99 or something to install it, but if you ever mess it up or it peels or they don't install it right you can take it back and they redo it. Otherwise, you just email zagg and they send you a new one in a couple days.

True, but one time and it's only 3 bucks more for Best Buy to do it, and as soon as you have it done twice, you would have been better off with them. Not to mention you can just pop in whenever you're around a store and have it fixed.

On my second Glass...First I bought the HD shield, and they have what I believe to be, a defect in design on the HD. Not only does it cover the screen, but on all 4 corners, it goes up the sides of the speaker grills. If your screen is not perfectly flush with the metal speaker plates guess what...you will have air pockets that you cant get rid of. After going back and forth, they sent me a replacement, and it was the SAME thing..UGH..
So I went out and bought a Glass..since it only protected the screen. Had issues with the first one, as none of the corners would stick! Put in for another replacement, which came today, and it went on smooth as silk and all the corners are bubble free...
When you do the replacement, you also need to send back your old one. They provide you an envelope to do so. They will also ask for your credit card number. If you do not return your old one, they will charge you the full price for the replacement they shipped out!
$6 on EBAY for these, shipped...
No... . . . Not ZAGG, specifically, but extremely high quality and the same damn glass.
Just got the Zagg glass shield installed today and I have to say this is the best I've ever tried. Glass from now on!

Thanks for the info!
I have a 9 Pro and have been looking for a good non-glass protector recently but could not find many that looked good quality or covered the full screen including the curve... If the one I purchased is no good, I will try and purchase one of these and get it shipped to AU somehow. I had a glass tempered screen protector from where I purchased it, but the curved parts started to peal up almost the same day - I went back and asked for a refund as the protector was not fit for use, unfortunately they did not have any standard film protectors as the device had only just come out not too long ago.
I had to order the Disagu FullFlex screen protector off eBay since we don't have Amazon in AU (and they wont ship without using freight forwarders).
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/142266664080?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I contacted this company before purchasing (as it's not on the cheap side), and confirmed that the protector would cover entire screen including the curve. It's not arrived yet but hoping it will this week, will post again once I recieve it.
EDIT: Well I got the protector, and applied it - geez it was very difficult, and I'm not very happy with the product at all.. it's already starting to get tiny bubbles around the sides/corners of the screen, and I'm positive I never touched those parts when applying it - tho they may have attracted some dirt during application as it was near impossible to apply...
Do not recommend this product, even if you do manage to get the protector applied without issues, its quality is very poor - I already have "scratched" it with my fingernail with not even applying force was really not happy about that - I hate to see how much damage it will take if I accidently knock it on something. Price is not worth the quality, if it was cheaper I would be happier with the product, but since it is a premium price for a protector it's a rip off.
The only good thing I can say is, they have matched it perfectly to the screen - included the cutouts for the speaker, camera, home button, etc.. and it goes all the way to the edges. I am happy it is protecting my screen fully but am not certain it will survive any major scratches... luckily it included 2 protectors.
I shouldve read the sellers feedback more, delving through his feedback I can see a few people complained about quality (tho they were talking about the tempered glass ones being nothing more than plastic) - guess it's my own fault for not doing my research.
If these protectors don't last me, I will have to try import that TATE one off Amazon using a freight forwarder (tho it'll end up costing me a bit to do that).
I've bought these online from ebay. Good price, 2 pieces/pack, fits perfect and no air at all and it's better than the one applied.
