[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
Thanks for the info aussiebum and Sleepycat.

I might be imagining it, but I'm pretty sure the screen response is slightly slower and laggier today and I reckon the protector is slowing it down. Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dirky:
OMG 48 pages about the screen protectors.

Does anybody in the UK know if any decent ones are available in this country?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Screen protectors do not cause lag.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
The screen is capacitative and screen protectors should not cause any lag. The SGSII has a tiny dead zone in detecting touch movement which has been reported before due to software settings (you can see it by using Yet Another Multi Touch Tester from the market) but once you overcome the dead zone there is no lag.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
Thanks matey. When you say "once you overcome the dead zone there is no lag", do you mean I need to change some software settings, or do you mean I'll just get used to it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ZVictor:
Thanks everyone for the recommendations!

I ordered SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal Screen Protector.

I'll write my thoughts about it as soon as I receive it (assuming i wont screw the installation :D)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Locster126:
Got my sgp ultra crystal today, after my bad experience with zagg i must say these protectors are awesome. I admit i messed up the first installation by rushing and hence got dust bubbles trapped underneath. Second attempt was child's play and this thing is not noticeable at all. No rainbow effect and super clear. Love it.

If u were considering buying a sgp then id say u won't regret it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] phantasia:
I got my Zagg invisi shield yesterday and installed it as soon as I got home.

I really don't dislike it and the installation was much more easier than I was expecting...

What is there so bad about Zagg? I keep seeing people around the forum saying they had a bad experience with Zagg.

Dont do schutzfolien24-de

Dont do item=150607398416 (eBay)

Also sold by shutzfolien24-de.. or the same seller protectionfilms24, just a different account; item=180676802874

It's a crackling plastic thingy, just 2 layers; so nothing protect your screenprotector while applying (strange sentence)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superutp:
I am gonna order the SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic from ExportPrive cause it seems to be the best....

can someone who has bought thru ExportPrive tell me how much time it approximately takes for it to get delivered using the 'Shipping via Express Mail Service Small Package(EMS ECO)' option?...to the UK btw

I need to get it before 25th June since after that I am goin on holiday..:D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] amadablam:
I ordered a case and a few protectors on the 12th June and it arrived today (Ireland) on the 17th, which was very quick.

Order today and you might be lucky :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
It is as if for the first 0.5 mm, movement is not registering and then it moves fine. I think this is to improve the screen's accuracy but it is not something you can change in settings. I don't notice out now since when I use my phone, I do more tapping and swyping instead of accurate movements like drawing
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Green-Lantern:
Well I' ve tested it at a friends phone and really didn' t liked the feeling.

In germany we have two high quality and 100% fitting protektors.

iProtect and displayschutzfolien.com the second is a little bit more expensive but thicker.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LondonGemini:
I would order it asap as mine took about 10 days as it was held up by customs
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sinjiyo:
Someone to post a picture of SGP screen protector on the sgs2, please.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LondonGemini:
I would do but there's nothing to see. The crystal clear one looks like there's nothing on the screen!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sinjiyo:
It's fiting perfect?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mitashi:
omfg I screwed mine up.. and how. I first took off the one with 1 standing on it. then i placed it and then i took off the 2nd, now my screen is all glue. Think its on hte wrong site.

Why the **** you FIRST need to pull of 2 and after that 1???
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Aero:
Which brand is that? All of the screen protector I have encountered always go 1 then 2.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AC07:
SGP... please see the photo.. 1st should be "BACK"....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
you pull off 1 it exposes the sticky side to stick to the screen, once it`s stuck correctly , you remove 2 to expose the part you touch with your fingers and you are done.

I think part 2 give the screen protector a bit of stiffness so you can hold it by the edges to get the positioning right.

I bought the "FoliX FX-CLEAR" from Amazon
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crypticc:
With respect I must say that is wrong. with sgp you remove 1 which protects touch surface for transit, then peel back bit of 2 and apply over screen, starting at phone speaker.

I did that and with the supplied tape got zero dust and no bubbles. grease aside can't tell it's there.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] crypticc:
+1
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mitashi:
Thats exactly what I did and then you'll get the wrong side, but I cleaned it up and fixed it:) just 2 bubbles but i can't help it anymore, and the bubbles are on the edge, not on the screen:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robin48:
Best screen protector I ever had is the I vizor. I think that's the right name. Att has them at the local store. It is expensive @ 24.99 but it is removable and washable, anti glare and fingerprint resistant.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
It should come with a pair of windscreen wipers for $25 :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Locster126:
oh and I thought it was just me that messed up the installation with the sgp first because they seem to do the opposite "steps" from all other screen protectors out there...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MustNotSleep:
Haven't read the whole thread, but just wanted to let you guys know to NOT purchase any GreatShield protector.

I recently got this and it's a terrible fit on the SGSII, and judging from the reviews, mine's not the only one. It seems they never even tested the cutouts on the actual device.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Yes, it is perfect.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Jimbojib:
I think I'm going to go with an SGP Ultra Fine Screen protector.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] netrider01:
Got my zagg invisible shield and I am very disappointed right now. Front shield lets your fingers stick on the screen. Its close to "glueish"

Now I wanna check out some better ones. Looking for the "3m" now...

Who else can give feedback?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Once you have let it dried for 24 hours, apply a car sealant onto the Zagg and it will smoothen it up. Just need to do this once and it fixes the tackiness on the protector.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spongeboob:
I've read throught the first 25 pages and as I understand - SGP are the best.

But what would be the second best sp? Martin Fields?

Would order SGPs, but the shipping is more, than the protectors themselves :|
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iromek:
I'm just curious why anyone is using a screen protector on the SGS2? I can understand a cover for the phone (since it has a plastic feel to it) but the screen uses Gorilla Glass so it's very scratch resistant already. Every screen protector I've used in the past has always effected the screen clarity. Am I just putting too much faith in Gorilla Glass?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Aero:
Its scratch resistant but not scratch proof. ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
As you said, it is scratch resistant but it is not scratch proof. There are many things in everyday life that are harder than Gorilla glass. One of them is not surprisingly, sand....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bazofia:
I dont have it for protection, i have of it to prevent fingerprints/oil on the screen. SGPs at great at that.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nadavnaz:
When a guy pays 700$ for a device, he doesn't count on anything. 10$ for an SGP protector seems a reasonable price for me to pay to protect such an expensive screen
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CandyAndy:
I agree that after buying the phone the screen protector is not a big investment anymore. For me the issues is that it makes the screen feel less appealing.

I have tried many screen protectors with my previous phones. They felt really bad or then if it had the matte finish it felt great but made the screen look brully.

I remember how I was depressed how my Desire looked and then I pulled the screen protector off and I was so glad to see that it was only the matte finish which made it look like that :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] johnsonc:
Shipping is free. Search for gutkoreainc user in ebay. I ordered myself SGP Ultra Optics and must admit like it very much (matte finish and much less fingerprints comparing to an unprotected screen). Might order Ultra Crystal a bit later, though, as it provides almost identical naked screen feeling, people say :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cadguycad:
how many did you get in the pack 1 or 2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mikulec:
How long does it take to get to you? I ordered mine few weeks ago and still havent received it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nimroth:
i ordered them from this guy and i got 2 in the pack.

so far i like them very much, but i have to use them a little more to give some feedback.

only negative point: delivery to germany took ages...i think 2 weeks or more
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skola:
THIS

FFS

Why does it need to be the OPPOSITE to EVERY OTHER ONE IVE EVER USED?!? :mad:

Yes the instructions should have been read but this design of labelling 1 and 2 is illogical.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kr00t0n:
Day 2 of my Skinomi screen protector.

All bubbles are almost gone and there is an orange-peel effect similar to ZAGG ones, but it is much less pronounced. Only really visible when the screen is off and reflecting light at an angle.

Smoothness is acceptable, and screen clarity is surprisingly good, but it falls over when viewing a majority white page, so browsing makes the protector very obvious. Colourful images, reading comics and watching videos is fine though.

I am incredibly impressed with it's resistance to grease/oil/smudges though, haven't needed to wipe the screen once!

Will see if it improves any more, then decide on if I will swap to an Ecell.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skola:
a friend of mine has an iphone with one of these mirrored screen protectors

when the backlight is off - the screen is silver and reflective

when the backlight is on you can see it clearly.

has anyone had any experience with these? looks pretty cool. if i combine that with my casemate barely there silver case then i have a phone which just looks like a shiny lump of metal :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spongeboob:
Awesome, thanks :)

How long did it take to get to you? Since Estonia is almost next Lithuania, I suppose it should take the same amount of time.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] johnsonc:
Yep, same here - about 2 weeks for delivery, which is quite normal, at it's being sent out from Korea. And there're always 2 screen protectors in a pack for SGP - a nice bonus to consider :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cadguycad:
very tempted by the pack of two!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spongeboob:
Ordered the 'Ultra Oleophobic' ones. Now, let's wait.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] busta_87:
I tried a few screen protectors now and i just hate the look of the phone afterwards so like others im just going to take care of my phone and hope it survives lol
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superutp:
Finally ordered a SGP from exportprive...hopefully it comes sooner than later

Sent from a phone..oh wait!...the best phone in the world!! Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
Gorilla Glass it seems is quite susceptible to being scratched by sand after all it`s made from it, and there is quite a lot of it about.

If the company behind Gorilla Glass, offered an replacement for scratched screens i would burn my screen protector today.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cerejusky:
sgp r awesome
[Galaxy S II Accessories] androidsos:
Hi guys,

I applied a Zagg shield. 24 hours later, I am seeing vertical lines all across the screen, happily refracting light, making them look like rainbows across the light-coloured screen. I am frankly astonished, with Zagg, it cost me a small fortune for what is effectively a small piece of plastic skin.

Does, anybody know if these lines will go away after some time, or is it an installation error.

For a second, I thought the screen had died, heart in mouth and all that. I would appreciate if someone who has used the shield can shed some light on this. Does it get better, or should I rip it off.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zzleezz:
I too bought an expensive Zagg shield thinking it would be a great screen protector. I dont have any rainbow problems, my biggest problem is the feel. Its just not suitable for touchscreens, FAR too sticky. Turns the best touch interface I have ever used into a nightmare to use.

My SGP Ultra Oli is on a plane from Korea right now, cant wait to rip this Zagg off my phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rixsta:
Couldn't agree more ...and you've made the best choice in protector ....they are awesome....feel very nice ...cant even tell its on there ......best protector I have ever used and I have used a bomb load ...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] salex786:
+1 same probleme here... ordered from gutkorea

steinheil ultra oleophobic antifingerprints galaxy i9100

Hi all.

I also bought the SGP Ultra ultra oleophobic for my 9100. I know this is the best because i have used if for my iphone 4.

Recieved the protector and it looked like org. noticed that the sticker on the protector was in an other writing color then on my iphone 4s.. Hmm thought it was weird. Put it on and it was useless. simple crap and bad copy. i then wrote to SGP and they told me this.:..

Dear Dennis,

Thank you for contacting SGPstore.com Customer Service Department.

Hi, my name is Lynn from SGPstore.com.

We are planning on having items for GSII but want to wait until the device comes out in the market in US.

Please wait patiently and check our website what's new for the future updates.

Thank you.

Best regards,

So that way why i could find any protector for it on their site only on ebay sites and other crap company site..

SGP have not produced the oleophobic for Samsung Galaxy s2 Gt-i9100 or any of their protectors..

The ones you find are fake and bad copy´s.. please dont spend any money on them..

Hope you are not fooled like me ;(

Dennis Denmark
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Disfected:
I don't think you emailed the correct people tbh. I don't think the US SGP store has anything to do with the Galaxy s2 products because they handle the US market. Also those SGP screen protectors do exist on their site, you have to visit the Korean site though since they handle it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] far2gud:
This worries me, mine is on the way from exportprive! can anyone confirm that the ones they stock are genuine?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Disfected:
They are real, the product are imports from Korea, therefore it ain't listed or provided by the sgpstore since it's based in the US.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fornowagain:
Sorry mate but mine is totally real and simply awesome.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] KLoNe1:
BESTSKINSEVER are just about to release their skin for SGS2:

Introductory price happening now :)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Plonker:
I can't say I've noticed any lines, but the orange peel effect and stickiness are definitely there. :(

Mine was damaged in transit (their box has a cut out and it left an imprint in my shield), now they've agreed to send me a replacement but they're insisting I return the faulty item to them at my cost. I simply refuse to do this. It was their incompetence that left the protector damaged, so I shouldn't have to pay extra for return postage. I await their response.

Bottom line, I'm not too happy with Zagg at the moment.

Ok, my SGP ultra oli arrived today from Export Prive.

Quick word on the company, excellent service, I paid a few bucks extra for recorded delivery and that was well worth it as it only took 4 working days to get here from the other side of the world! Really well packaged too, first layer was a really tough looking plastic pouch, then in that was a box, then inside that was bubble wrap and then the screen protector package.

As for the ultra oli screen protector I am completely blown away, had a lot of smart phones in my time and have always taken care to keep them protected. Used screen protectors from very cheap to very expensive and this is by far the best I have seen, felt, used and fitted.

Put it on in a steamy bathroom (run the shower for 10 mins and dont move towels around) it went on so easy I was really pleased. The fact you get TWO of them in the package makes you a bit more confident fitting it. No bubbles, no dust and a perfect fit.

I could not be more pleased.

And for the poster that doubted the product was genuine, be reassured that it is genuine. Even comes with a code to check its authenticity.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lemor2008:
Hi there

Why to put it in a steamy bathrrom ? I didn't know that trick..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ShimaMiku:
Be careful with a steamy bathroom. The last thing you want to do is activate the water damage stickers inside the phone (unless of course you are willing to replace the stickers). I personally use a very fine mist sprayer (one of the sample hairspray bottles from walmart that was like $0.70, I dumped the hairspray, washed it out, and filled it with distilled water) and I spray it and the screen protector from about 6 inches away to get a very fine and light mist on both, and squeegee the water out while holding a paper towel on the edge to catch the water that comes out and not seep into the phone. Hadn't had any problems that way.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zzleezz:
Steamy bathroom is just a way of getting dust particles out of the air, works really well.

mrmartin is entirely correct with his warning, dont go crazy and make it into a sauna. Also depends on the ambient humidity, if you live in a climate that is pretty humid already dont take your phone into the bathroom for a long bath. I live in the UK so its pretty dismal weather here usually and my HTC Desire always came into the bathroom with my, never had a problem when I had to return it under warranty.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] R3Y:
^^ Can the screen protectors be applied in a air conditioned room? Or are there any disadvantages of that?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rdamcw92:
Got my case mate tough case today. Very good case that came with a screen protector. Came with a cloth and easy guide on the applicator card. Two small bubbles refused to go and the part by the home button refused to stick down properly.

The screen protector is just as reflectiveas the screen. Its also slightly tacky and does reduce the light of the screen slightly. Its not great but covering my screen until my sgp Oli arrives :-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rdamcw92:
Oh and it has cut outs for the camera on front and sensors and lines up fairly well.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rdamcw92:
One last thing. It cost me 24 pounds including postage in uk. Most places list it for more. Personally would have gone for otterman sgs2 case but not out yet. May still get it anyway!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Archer:
I swear by these things...

http://protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-screen-protector-dqc160-samsung-galaxy-s2-52744.html

I've had one on my HD2 for about 9 months and you could barely see the thing. I've just ordered 2 for my GS2 (you get 1 free as well), so I can't vouch for them being perfect (again), but I do expect it. Everyone I've recommended these things to has come back and thanked me. They're just great!

Also, watch the video on the link. You can remove and wash the things.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mb:
My Martin Fields turned up yesterday. It's superb. Been using them for years and they are still the best. Unlike Krusell.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Plonker:
I was wondering what the supplied screen protector was like. I think I'm going to send my Zagg back and ask for a refund. So I'll probably use the Case-Mate one until I decide on what to finally use.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sunseaker:
I have that screen protector too and my doesn't stick properly on the bit below the home button. It also doesn't stick well on the little tab left by the camera and sensor cut outs. I was easy to apply though without bubbles. I'm going to be ordering something else but it does fine in the mean time.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] drwhyung:
Can someone post a photo of the phone with ultra optics/ crystal etc on?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] R3Y:
I would like to see some pics of this too. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LondonGemini:
There's nothing to see! Its crystal clear and fits perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] drwhyung:
I especially want to see ultraoptics as it appears to me it has different cut-outs.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jjwatmyself:
I agree. The only thingt to see is if the person applying did a good job or not. I'm happy in that I did the last two Atrix perfectly. It was not easy!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nakagusukumike:
Realook FTW!!!! I had one on my vibrant for 10 months and it looks like the day I put it on.

Zagg (aka DRAGG) screen protectors suck.

Just ordered a two pack of realook for the SGS2!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] moooxooom:
I installed the "optics" version on my SGS2 and the "oleophobic" version on my gf's SGS2.

the screen has a slight "washed out" look with the ultra optics version on. It makes my new phone looks aged. The screen protector is supposed to have some special lens inside, and I actually don't doubt it. Instead of a normal reflection of a light, I have a rainbow-dispersed reflection. It makes a slight high pitch whine when you slide your finger across it too. It's pretty "anti-fingerprint" as they come, just a tad less effective than those matt and blur ones.

In comparison, I think the oleophobic version looks transparent, like there's nothing on the phone. I personally think it's just as finger print resistant as the optics version, but I've not used it for a few days.

The only reason I've not switched to the oleophobic version (they provide 2 pieces in each package), is that they aren't the cheapest screen protector around, makes my heart ache to apply it for a short while and throw it away.

Though honestly, the white glaze across my SGS2's screen is starting to irritate me, compared to the pure black my gf has....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] moooxooom:
You're right.

ultraoptics has a small U on the top instead of a hole for the camera. leaves that 1% of the screen above the camera unprotected. At least it doesn't interfere with the other sensors.

The cut out fits the camera almost exactly, giving about 1mm allowance on all sides. other than that, nothing out of the ordinary.

The oleophobic one is a whole piece, except for a cut out for the physical button.

let me get some pictures out when I'm home.
