Looking for a screen protector.

I just got my HTC-HD7 a week ago and I been searching for a good screen protector. Is there one out there that is like anti-smudge?

I purchased a Phantom-Skinz screen protector and am waiting to receive it in the mail.
I read that the Invisible Shield can have a nasty Orange Peel.
Wrapsol is another pretty good brand.
They're all clear finish and do not reduce touch sensitivity. Also supposed to be fingerprint-resistant.

i got the one from t-mobile. its the anti-glare/matte finish. i usually dont like my monitors and tv screens glossy. instead opt for the matte screens when possible. the tmobile hd7 screen protector does it.
i highly recommend it. they come in packs of 2 for around $10-$15 depending if theres a sale.

I have always got my screen protectors from Brando since my first SX-45 PDA phone! Always get the anti-glare ones - and have got this on my HD7 now. It's great, makes the screen really smooth to touch and stops glare.

Has anyone used this protector?
SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic Screen Protector
More infoClick Here

I use the steinheil screen protector and love it. It covers I'd say 99.9% of the screen. It is a finger print magnet, but does wipe clean very easy. You can't even tell that there is a screen protector on the phone, it is completely clear and does not interfere with touch at all.

cool thanks, i was looking for something that isnt a finger print magnet coz my skin is quite oily and it messes up with the screen, the current one i am using (some local) looks smeared even after a wipe.
I saw a brand called Seidio in ebay, hows this one? Anymore suggestions for a finger print less screen gaurd?

I'm using HD7 too. I bought my screen protector from geartaker. i am using this one.

At first, dust and other thins may smudge my screen. After I ordered this one, all the problems are removed.

[REVIEW] Incipio Feather + Zagg invisibleSHIELD reviews

Incipio Feather
- Claims to be less than 1mm thick
- Made from Polycarbonate
- Soft touch finish
- Comes in 4 different colours, this one is Iridescent Blue/Green
The Verdict
It's awesome. Extremely thin and very lightweight, this case makes the phone feel much more solid in the hand. The soft touch texture also takes away the 'slippyness' of the original back cover, and best of all, it doesn't add any more bulk to the phone. All the controls are cut out, so unlike some of the gel/TPU skins, you get to press the naked button rather than pushing it through the case, which is very nice. It fits perfectly snug and doesn't rattle around. Definitely my favourite case for my nexus and I definitely recommend it if you can find it for a reasonable price like I did.
Price: $17.95 CAD, from BlueShop (a canadian online smartphone accessory store thingy: http://www.blueshop.ca/incipio-feather-case-for-samsung-nexus-s-teal/)
Zagg invisibleSHIELD
- Claims to be military grade screen protection against anything from nails to keys
- Lifetime limited warranty
- Applied with liquid solution and rubber squeegee
The Verdict
The installation wasn't too difficult, although getting the actual screen protector off the paper backing proved challenging. Getting the thing on the actual screen was very easy, all you had to do was spray the actual protector with this liquid solution provided and then slide it into place. This actually worked way better than I thought, and I was able to position it perfectly. Once on a dried, the texture took a little getting used to as your finger definitely doesn't slide as nice as the naked screen. However, the protection you get, imo, is worth the price of the weird texture. Plus, unlike other screen protectors I've tried on this phone, the curved glass at the bottom and top of the screen near the bezel actually sticks down nicely, unlike the other ones that didn't stick to the curve and collected dust. Overall I think its a good thing to have on your screen, but the price can only be justified by the warranty- which fortunately I haven't had to use yet.
Price: $14.99 USD from Zagg's website (http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php)

Thanks for the review!

The case doesn't lift the Zagg at all?

I run a very similar set up on my NS4G save that I use the Best Skins Ever screen protector which seems to have a lot less "orange peel effect" (and the black Incipio Feather). My phone feels light and well protected. I especially love how the case keeps the screen (as well as the bezel) off of the tabletop surface when I put it face down.

Ringke SLIM

Hello, I have bought the Ringke SLIM (not arrived yet) because I want slim profile cases, do you know one as slim as this that covers top and bottom? I think that if I want top and bottom cover have to go for wider case as fusion or similar.

There are none that I know of that are this thin and also cover the top and bottom. Your next best bet would be something like the diztronic tpu. It's fairly thin and protects the entire backside, top, bottom, and has a small lip to lay it face down screenside. They're cheap as well. Only con (and a biggie for me)? They make your device look cheap

I bought the ringke slim for N4, and now for N5. Out of all the cases I tried, I stayed with it because it's hardly noticeable on the device. However, my N4 did drop .. ONCE and only once, and straight to the unprotected edge, which left ugly scarring on the silver border. Regardless, I still bought a ringke for N5.
But I also bought the Caseology Slim Fit case to see how slim it really is, if there is no much difference in them, I'll probably switch to Caseology.

Just saw that on Amazon. It's a comparison of case to the N5. For a slim case, that's quite the bit of "chunk".

I had the Ringke slim on my Nexus 4 and it held up pretty well actuallt even with the top and bottom exposed. Keep in mind that the case still covers the corners of the phone and will protect it from most falls. with that in mind don't count on the case to protect against all falls, I had a minor fall from about waist height and shattered my screen, prior to that it had been dropped about 6 or 7 times with no visible damage. That last time i think it landed on it's screen which is bad with any case, I have seen my brother break the screen on phones with otterboxes on them by landing on the screen.
Overall I would by the case again. It felt great and the white one I had on the black N4 looked great. I will likely by this case for my N5 when it arrives.

amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector review

I received this screen protector in the mail yesterday, and didn't hesitate to put it on. I have used other tempered glass screen protectors before, but I was hoping one would eventually be made for the curved S6 edge. Finally, there is one available. The glass comes with a colored top and bottom, which can be chosen for the color of the phone you have. For mine, I got the white to go with my pearl white phone. It's hard to tell at first glance that there even is a screen protector on my phone. I personally think that instead of having the cutout for the Samsung logo, they should have had the logo printed on the glass itself to make the top of the screen protector more seamless. With the screen protector on, it does make the home button flush to the thickness. I like that, but others might not.
I have noticed some differences in use between having the screen protector on vs having it off. First off is that the screen protector seems to attract more smudges than the original glass does. Secondly, the screen itself does seem less sensitive (especially near the edge) which makes edge functions much harder to do. They aren't impossible, but I do find myself having to push down on the screen much harder than I used to. Lastly, reflections on the screen make it visible that there are slight dips in the glass itself. Looking at a reflection reveals probably about 6 or 7 spots that look dented in. It seems to be sporadic in placement, and doesn't seem to affect usage.
I have found it hard to find a suitable case that works well with the tempered glass screen protector. Any case that has any lip protection will not play nice with this accessory. Luckily, my Spigen thin fit case works just fine with it. This isn't the type of phone that I want out of a case at any time. ( I have the 128gb model, and I'm not about to break it.) I'm hoping I won't have to actually test out the durability of the screen protector, but it is rated as scratch resistant, and rated at 9H for hardness, so I would expect it to stand up just like any other tempered glass screen protector.
Bottom line: If you don't mind sacrificing case choices and screen sensitivity, then get this screen protector. Just be sure to have a micro fiber cloth with you to get rid of all of those smudges. If amFilm can possibly coat the screen in a smudge resistant film, as well as increase sensitivity, then they could potentially corner the market on a very hard to come by product.

how are you feeling about this after using it for a few days? Has the sensitivity increased at all?

tempered glass screen protector Orzero

Hi guys,
Just sharing my thoughts after applying this screen protector. NOT recommended imo.
It's pretty easy to apply onto the phone and I was amazed that I didn't observe any air bubbles at all.
After using the phone for a couple of hours, I found that the sensitivity was really bad when I was typing. And it got worse over the next few hours and I could hear clicking sound as well.
After like half a day, I finally gave up and took out the SP. And to my surprise, the SP only have adhesive around the edges, leaving the entire surface above the active screen empty! I am guessing that's the reason for the air gaps and poor sensitivity.
:crying: now left with an unprotected screen

Thanks for the post. I would assume this is curved-screen friendly? Does it stick all over around the sides as well?

There is only adhesive around the sides. After applying onto screen, you can't really see any gaps by the edges.. But the gaps are on the active screen area
I am not too sure about being curved screen friendly... You referring to the curved edges?

I understand your pain, I didn't go for this protector for the same reason, I watched quite a few review videos and wasnt interested in this type of protectors.

No, I mean since the phone has slightly curved sides, (perhaps) no tempered glass can cover edge to edge without leaving the sides. Look at the photo, you will get the idea.

Ah... That was covered as the SP had black edges all round.
I don't think there is any tempered glass SP around which can solve this issue though... Even the curved ones for S7 edge have air gaps issues since it's not possible to match production tolerances.

Exactly, there are those simpler SP which offer complete coverage but again, there's no use of such SPs because they only protect the phone from scratches, to which the screen is already resistant, to an extent. I guess our only option is to wait then.
