I've never been skilled at applying screen protectors, my hands start shaking and dust suddenly appears all around me :p

I know the Zagg invisible shield is applied via a 'solution.'

I take it this makes the application a lot easier, as you should be able to slide it into position right? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeanclaudevandamme:
I would advise against cleaning a cheap 50 cents protector with any sort of cloth at all, because it scratches the surface. Even a microfibre cloth will add noticable hairline scratches under light.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Locster126:
Ok after using my zagg for a few days now I must say its a waste of money. The sides started peeling slightly and then created bubbles with dust trapped underneath, so all around the screen I've got these trapped dust bubbles on the side.

since its just the side it doesn't affect the screen but it just looks old and rotten.

Plus its been like a week and the screen protector on the screen still slides left and right which creates even more bubbles on the sides.

By now it should have dried and not slide left and right when in my pocket.

Maybe it won't stick properly due to the coating on the galaxy s2?

Anyways waste of money, stay away from zagg!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rwc3b:
Got the skinomi and my feeling is it doesn't fit perfect. The front facing camera doesn't align very well. The sides are too long, especially when it covers the volume rocker.

My biggest complaint is the distortion the front protector causes when the screen is on. It's like I'm tripping on acid or something. I probably didn't apply it correctly but it's evenly put on and looks great when the screen is off
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Plonker:
I got my Zagg and I feel a lot happier now the screen is protected. However, I've had to ask for a replacement as it was damaged in transit.

The cardboard box it comes in has a cut-out in the front, the shape of a shield. The box was sent in a Jiffy Bag and it must have been under something heavy in the van, as there's a permanent imprint on it!

Add to that I'm not 100% happy with the orange peel effect. It's never really bothered me on my other devices, but it does on this one. So I think I'll be keeping my eyes open for something clearer.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Unfortunately, when the thing is dirty our oily, you've got to clean it. What would you use, if not a cloth. Anyway now I know why they gave me 5 in a pack and I still have the 2 other no brand protector that came with my Zenus case, 2 polyurethane protectors and the remaining Ultra Crystal. And my SGP Silke that is on the way should come with another Ultra Crystal. I've got too many protectors.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crypticc:
So got it. Apart from the scree up with addresses, judging by the stamps on the package the delivery would've been on time. All bad feelings gone with the ultra crystal installed. So Smoooth and fits like a glove.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] amadablam:
Anyone know where to get the SGP Steinheil UltraSeries Ultra Oleophobic protector for the S2?

I am in Ireland and want one as soon as I can get it so if there is a UK supplier, it would be great.

Damn the S2 was sooooooooooooo worth getting! :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nadavnaz:
SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal is great. Was relatively simple to install, looks like clear glass. Hard to beat, highly recommended for the galaxy s II
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fornowagain:
UK, no. Korean 'exportprive' is pretty damn fast delivery.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] amadablam:
Thank you Fornowagain!

Think I will order now :D

choose the express delivery. it will take them 48 to ship it and another 5 days to arrive. :)

I bought the "6 x screen protector for Samsung i9100 Galaxy S2 S II" from ebay.

They are pretty good for its price (US $3.57). It's not a perfect fit. It's slightly too large in both height and width, so I had to cut the top left corner a little. The holes for the camera etc isn't perfectly aligned, but it's not bad. What I like about it is that there is no discoloring at any viewing angle, and it feels just like the real screen to touch.

Kind of hard to attach them though. I did it on my 7th attempt (yeah, bought 2 packs), and managed to get no dust or bubbles whatsoever :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Locster126:
anyone with an invisible shield can you let me know if your front shield properly dried? Mine just keeps sliding, if you try to slide it on the screen, does it move for you? Mine slides so easily that it moves in my pocket, overlapping and collecting dust...P!SSED..just ordered SGP ultra crystal but still wondering if I just had a faulty invisibleshield
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jeandujardin01:
looked for good link in that thread last night but ended up getting these 6 x Screens too because, i have it on my Desire Z and couldn't be happier :)

- no problem with touch sensitivity

- color were the same

- no scratch

-easy to clean

sometimes cheap isn't doesn't mean bad quality ! :p

it'll tell you how those are when i receive them.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sabesh:

From the store I purchased they attached mine with a screen protector of G10, it's so cheap, just 100 INR, but works very well. LOL
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sabesh:
Thx guys! Just ordered 2 sets from exportprive.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Flowlance:
Heh yeah they are good. I'm not going to change unless this is starting to fall off :P
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nybreath:
do you lose touch sensibility with screen protectors?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crx16:
Had a martinfields for a few days now. Finger print, grease magnet, But very happy with it. Cant even tell its there.

Perfect fit, easy to apply as far as they go. Would like to compare to others but I wont be buying any more. Compared to my free with case one it's amazing.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] PierrePolarBear:
I was hopeing that someone with the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal could tell me how it compared with the naked screen in terms of glare and fingerprints.

I know that (unlike other SGP protectors) it is not designed to reduce glare or fingerprints but I was wondering if it increases either of these compared to the naked screen.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Hunteres:
not at all.:D not at all.:D quality screen protector is almost invisible and its there to protect the screen without any visual or sensitivity effects.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crx16:
Wtf is sensability, new htc thing?

No sensitivity loss here.

I think there must be a knack in pre stretching it or something because it looks like a just made bed- done badly

Thank you everyone for the feedback wanted to know whether the exportprive company would deliver these to India.

SGP Steinheil Ultra Fine, best I've tried.

I know this is a long thread but I just wanted to share my experience. I have used several screen protectors since I had my I9000 and I was never fully satisfied and they all ended up in the trash. After going through this thread I found out about the SGP protectors and all I can say is WOW. I tried different makes but I would definitely recommend the Ultra Fine Anti-Fingerprint. Not only prevents dirt in my screen but it also gives a nice matte finish perfect for direct viewing under sunlight. The protector is slightly smaller than the screen which is good as there is a small space between the border and the screen which would catch dirt if the protector was slightly off, so it give you a little space for error when applying it but you can barely see that after it's on.

One recommendation: make sure you have your hands and display very clean before applying, do it very slowly to prevent any bubbles... I had a hard time reapplying a corner because my finger somehow was dirty and I ended up getting a new protector instead.

Just my two cents.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] destromas:
I bought a set of ultra crystal and oleophobic from ExportPrive.

I want to put it out there that Zagg's invisibleSHIELD does not fit the product well, it collects large amounts of dust and small grains of sand or minerals will get stuck in the shield.

Skinomi's Tech Skin is even worse, as the camera slit doesn't line up well, it doesn't affect the image quality of the camera, but it looks shoddy. It also compresses like a squishy material and leaves marks everywhere. I thought I could clean it up with an alcohol pad, and it actually burned in and left a blotch! I got some dust stuck in the shield from the outside and thought I could clean it up with regular tools, apparently once it's in there, it's in there for good. What a piece of ****.

I'm still waiting on a replacement from invisibleSHIELD because of the way it came packaged (no protection for the protector), but anyway, avoid Skinomi, and wait until Zagg steps up their game.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bboran:
are you talking about SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic Anti-Fingerprints or SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics Anti-Fingerprints?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bigup7:
i am also waiting for them to make the SGS2 version

always used them on my iPhones/Touch and they have been the best by far.

cant wait!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mini1971:
Thanks, I hope you're right.

Do you know if the scratches in the coating can easily be undone?

mini
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nybreath:
did you try SGP protectors too? still choosing wich one to buy
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cmd512:
I'm using the Ultra Optics as well... I do not like it. It has the micro pitted surface that just feels weird when swiping over for an extended period of time, and it gives the screen a horrible matted/interlaced look. In fact, in direct sunlight, the screen just looks like a white matte surface.

I'll be trying the Oleophobic or Crystal next time around.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bigup7:
i havent tried the SGP as i always keep going back to the phonedevil ones, tried and tested plus they send you sweeties too :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bazofia:
It's the ultra fine anti-fingerprint, I tried both the oleophobic and optics but were not as good for me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jackhol:
this is going to be the first time i am going to use screen protectors after a lot of reading i decided to go with the sgp ultra crystal because of the thickness and the (i hope) simular feel to the gorilla glass. i will also update when i recive them :)

*sorry for the possible bad english
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nybreath:
what i like from the phonedevil (from the pics on iphone4) is that it really seems invisible, cant notice the edges at all

is the sgp steinheil like that or is it noticeable?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LondonGemini:
I can't see mine on my phone. Its very clear and after a day it 2, it feels as smooth as the gorilla glass. There is about a 0.5 mm gap around the edge as it doesn't quite reach the edge but this is a good thing as a case won't lift the screen protector
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
I'm using the SGP Ultra Crystal on my SGSII. Loving it! Looks like glass. Have to wipe off my face oil after using the phone to make calls though. :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] whmcal:
You need to get a silicone gel case. it fits nicely around the rims therby preventing and dust accumulation / ditch effect.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sunseaker:
Are there any protectors for the camera? Forgive me if that was asked before but I don't have time to read through 43 pages and I'm just about to place my order for a GS2 and want to order all the protection at the same time.

I really wish they would fit covers to the camera lenses as they tend to scratch up so quick. BTW, is the lens cover also made of gorilla glass or is it plastic?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] victaaaa:
I've got the SGP Ultra Crystal, and it looks great! Can't tell its there.

But it gets fingerprints so easily. Have to wipe it like every 5 minutes D:

I've ordered the Oleophobic to see if that shows less fingerprints
[Galaxy S II Accessories] philliid:
I agree, my wife has them on her IPhone.

Does Phone Devil provide protectors for SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] philliid:
Any recommendations for silicone gel case?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nybreath:
in the site they got it as coming soon
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tiagobt:
I'm still confused about what model you liked. The website shows 3 models:

1. SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic Anti-Fingerprints

2. SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics Anti-Fingerprints

3. SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal

Are you talking about number 3?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shinji21:
Are there any recommendation for a full body skin? I saw a couple on ebay and the skinomi from amazon, not sure how fit they are.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bazofia:
It seems none of them, I've got mine off ebay. I've attached a photo of the packaging.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fall Guy:
I have the Skinomi and the fit is good overall. I did have to just tweek it a little around the 2nd mic hole as it was just a little close. Good coverage for the top, bottom and sides as well as adhering well to the battery cover
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shinji21:
Do you mind to post some pictures? Thanks!!

And for the screen protector piece, is the hole for the front facing camera circular or just a cut-out.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] whmcal:
I have this silicone gel case from amazon . It's reasonably priced, aesthetically pleasing and does the job of protecting well. it covers the edges of any screen protector u might use, preventing that dust accumulation problem. However, note that the screen protector that comes with thi s particular case is a little c**p imho. Maybe look elsewhere for a good sp

How is SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic in the glare department compare to without protection? is it still visible outdoor?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joelk2:
where is the best/cheapest place to buy the SGP protectors in the uk?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
I received my "FoliX FX-CLEAR screen protector" from Amazon UK today for £3.99 delivered, and it fits perfect, it leaves the light and proximity sensors uncovered, and it is really easy to use my finger glides over the surface without any drag, and their`s no perceivable reduction in touch-screen sensitivity.

Installation was easy, it comes with a little cloth to clean the screen before application.

One minus is the screen protector is very glossy.

Regards

John.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bazofia:
I bought mine off eBay from seller gutkoreainc, they where dispatched to London in just a week.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bazofia:
If glare is what you are concerned about I wouldn't go for the ultra oleophobic. Ultra fine or premium matte are the best for that. I'm using the ultra fine and it's great.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joelk2:
cool thanks, will have a look.

Zagg

Please can someone using Zagg tell me, is it really not good. I have ordered one, and want to know should I not install it inspite of having bought it. Is it that bad.

Also, if not, on a scale of 1-10 how much would you rate the Zagg shield.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
I have had a few invisible shields on other phones, while they are super strong, you finger does not slide across them very well a bit sticky , also they have a sort of orange peel look, but they are more matt than glossy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] PierrePolarBear:
Does anyone have experience with 'Terrapin' screen protectors?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MISSDIVA:
Mine didnt stick that well near the camera and above the Samsung logo. You could tell by the packaging that this could be a problem.... as it was coming away from the protective sleeve. Didnt like the look of the cut outs either, just looked cheaply done.

Miss Diva
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Locster126:
So I've emailed zagg to complain about the shield bot sticking and that's the response I've got.

I am very sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new Galaxy S2 invisibleSHIELD.

The new glass used on the Galaxy S2 requires additional time for the adhesive on the invisibleSHIELD to fully cure. I recommend, after the initial 12-24 of allowing your phone to remain off immediately following installation of your invisibleSHIELD, that you are cautious in your use during the balance of the first week. By cautious, I am referring to avoiding things such as placing your phone in pockets, cases, or other tight spaces, and avoiding exposure to heat.

This additional time, again, is to allow your invisibleSHIELD to fully cure to the new glass used on the Galaxy S2.

So i was right to assume that it doesn't stick because of the coating, mine is being returned for a refund, covered in dust.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] woodf23:
Zagg protector is really not worth it

Overpriced and very difficult to install it made my screen look horrible.

Replaced it with a cheap £2 protector from my local market which is so much better and easier to fit.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
On my iPad, I had to leave it for about 24 hours and not touch it (AT ALL!). Once it dries out properly, then it will stick very well. Stuck too well that it is very difficult to take off. If you used it on the same day that you applied it, then yes, it will come off. Just remove the corner that is lifting, spray more solution, clean the dust off with your fingers, spray more solution and reapply. Squeegee all the water out and leave it for 24 hours.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lemor2008:
Ok, but comparing both cases, using the oleophobic does it get more glare ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
I received these today. 6 for £2.25 :p They seem pretty good. I messed up the first 2 as I've not done it before, the second being the one in my last 2 photos. I hope I can make my 3rd one bubble free. I've actually got 5 left as one came with a case I ordered. Fits very nicely and feels good to the touch. I just tried the fingernail test and it's not scratching.

Maaaaaaaaaaaan! 47 pagessssssss damnn! That´s a lot :( I never had used a screen protector before. I dont wanna loose that amazing bright soft screen of my phone... but as everyone else I dont want it to get all ****ed up. So after 47 pages LOL is there any "agreements" about whats the best screen protector for the phone? I am leaving in Europe.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Use Magic tape and lift up the edges of the protector. Take a 2nd piece of magic tape and use it to remove the dust that is causing the bubbles. The magic tape will even take it off the sticky side of the protector and come off easily without tearing or damaging it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
That's a good idea. I've not heard of magic tape, you mean like normal sticky tape/sellotape I assume?

Hmm, I think I need to find a less dusty room to fit it if it's picking up so much dust. Mind you, having watched a youtube video of the perfect installation of a protector to an iphone, I realise I didn't squeegey out with a credit card as I layed the protector down. I also messed around with lifting it too much causing dust to stick to the sticky side. I'll try your suggestion though. Thanks. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Nope, it is not the normal sellotape. It is this one specifically:

It is less sticky and peels off the protector cleanly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] aussiebum:
Or alternatively, if u get more than one bit of dust going under the protector while lifting the phone, just yank the entire protector off and immerse it in distilled ("pure") water, running your fingers over the adhesive side of it to get any dust stuck on stubbornly off, then wipe your phone clean (again), flick as much water off the protector as possible (don't wipe.. that will just introduce dust), then gently put it back on the phone, using tissue to squeeze out and absorb excess water from under the protector. Ignore any water you can't squeeze out as they will evaporate from the phone's heat after 1 day or so.

Bit more messy than just using tape, but for major dust issues this method works great. Just need to be careful about not getting water in between the screen gap or the speaker.. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dinan:
Best to install the screen protector in a humid area since the humidity will cause most of the dust in the room to settle on the ground. Bathroom after you shower is a good example lol...

I tried 3 diff. from SGP

1. SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal

2. SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic Anti-Fingerprints

3. SGP Steinheil Ultra Ultra Fine Anti-Fingerprints

Comments as follow:

1. Very Clear, but VERY easy for fingerprint and oil (from face), difficult to clean the fingerprints and oil too.

2. Very Clear(I cannot find different between this and Ultra Crystal), better anti oil and anti fingerprints than Ultra Cystal, and easy to clean that fingerprints and oil.

3. Best anti fingerprint and anti oil, BUT affected the clearness and color of the screen A LOT! Can see "color spots" on white obviously, NOT RECOMMEND, waste the good screen!

If anyone want to order, 1st choice among of these three is Ultra Oleophobic Anti-Fringerprints.

Thanks for the info, i know which one ill be getting.. :D

I have number 2 and agree. The screen still looks great! I was lucky as was able to achieve 100% dust spec free application. I will buy again if it gets any major scratches. So far it's been on for a month and no issues.
