[HTC Rezound] SamsungVibrant:
The best screen protector I ever used and continue to use was from a T-Mobile corporate store. It was a universal 12 pack, the kind with grids and you have to cut it to size yourself. I've used them on all my friends and family phones too, and they love it. The same one has been on my Vibrant for 1 year and 5 months now, I forget it is even there!

I hope they still sell them, I don't think I have any left for my Rezound

Which ones do you prefer so far?
[HTC Rezound] superchaos:
Phantom Skinz Fan here

I have had them on all my phones and really like the look and feel. Still don't have them available for the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] didiwags:
I had a steinheil Ultra clear one on my X and loved it, hope they make one for the Rezound soon. I had Zagg on it before I got the Rezound and it was fine. Not sure if I got a "bad" one cause it felt great. It was a universal pack so I put it on my Rezound. My BIL got the Zagg ones to and his screen feels awful. I couldnt even play with his Bionic much cause I could not stand the feeling.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I also had the screen protectors from verizon... they distort the clarity :( and the edges on the top and bottom don't stick to the screen so it has air lines around it... The otterbox one doesn't distort colors but I messed it up when putting it on :(

ZAGG ones suck... the are all texturey and mess. :-/ i just want a good one, i don't care about anti glare but it would be a plus if it doesn't mess up the clairty... Never tried any other brands...
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Is that your 1 star review on there now? ;)
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i'm about ready to take mine off..it's got like 5 line-scratches already in it from just being in my pocket by itself..either that or wiping it down with micro fiber. this thing is awful and annoying, i'm gonna take mine off soon and go naked. i've never had a problem with my incredible EVER being naked, so i'm ready to take this one off. oh well. i tried haha
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
No I liked them. I ordered another 5 for $1.99 it feels smooth and no clarity issues. Just gotta wait for the bubbles to fade away.
[HTC Rezound] koszor:
Local mall by me sells this screen protector called ghost armor its 20 or 25 dollars for the front with the option for the whole phone avalible for extra

I've had it on two phones so far and I actually prefer the way it feels over the glass, it is pretty scratch resistant and also they will replace it for you for 5 dollars wenever you want

They also have a person put it on for you

Definitely recommend
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Just took mine off....god I feel so much better lol and it just looks so much better too!
[HTC Rezound] paigow:
i never seen any screen protector i like so all my phones dont have them. but, i also don't let 3 year old kids play with my phone either so i've never ever scratched, broke my screen (knock on wood)

here is hoping the rezound glass is as good or decent like gorilla glass so cross fingers, i hope i dont end up regretting not using a screen protector.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Ghost armor does good usually. does it make the screen look weird when its white? or does it look out it should? I may try one
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Edit: accept they don't have them online for the Rezound yet, what phone did you buy one for that fits it?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
has anyone answered the question of "how resiliant is the screen w/o a screen protector"?

I bought some generic ones from ebay and the damn thing is too large and causes bubbles on the edges of the screen, also it alrady has a couple of scratches after a few days. I really wanna take this POS off, and hang out with my wang out :p ... what do you guys think?
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
I had Ghost armor on my previous Tp2 and loved it. It is crystal clear, it adds just the slightest amount of tackiness to the screen and or other areas, and when it gets old and dirty you can get a free replacement by mail or applied locally. I'm waiting for them to get the cut outs for the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] IXIKelsonIXI:
I'm still waiting on my Skinomi screen protector. Was supposed to be here today at the latest. False.

Rabble rabble rabble.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
I went ahead and bought the Empire ones from Amazon and they finally arrived yesterday. They say they are for the "Thunderbolt/Rezound". Put one on and they don't even cover the entire screen. Fail.

Guess I'll go naked until Steinheil gets with the program.

Update: This from SGP/Steinheil yesterday afternoon:

Thank you for contacting SGPstore.com Customer Service Department.

Hi, my name is Bernard from SGPstore.com.

Unfortunately, we do not have plans to make it for the Rezound,however, plans can change

if there is increased demand.

Bummer
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just center it and you won't even notice.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
That's exactly how I installed it. Just didn't like it - I prefer that the protector be totally invisible.

To each his own! :D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
For sure. I hear ya
[HTC Rezound] IXIKelsonIXI:
Received the Skinomi today. Didn't realize it was one of the ones that required spray to apply. On top of that, it took two weeks to get to my house, which is a three hour drive from where it shipped from. Not pleased. Going to try the Halo brand one on Amazon. Really bums me out that SGP isn't making them for this device. They are my favorite brand hands down.

Rabble rabble rabble.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I don't get the point in spray? Why would you want to wet your phone, and they usually don't apply very well, and leave a lot of imperfections. Ive never heard of Skinomi or Halo though lol. Otterbox sent me more of their super basic ones. U can't really tell they are on, and they work great usually. Though I'd like one that was antiglare/finger print resistant
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
The better Screen Protectors don't use adhesive, adhesive cause blur, or lint to stick, or smear during application.

The spray should be just a fine mist that will allow you to position (slide) the protector on the glass, and work the air bubbles out. The water solution evaporates crystal clear.

It's basically the same technique used when tinting car windows.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
So its supposed to be idiot proof? Cuz I have no problems applying a screen protector flawlessly... This matte one I got from verizon does well with finger prints but it distorts the display and it now drives me crazy lol.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but Zagg's Invisible Shield is amazing. I had one on my DX2 (yeah, not really sure why with the gorilla glass), but it makes the screen feel better and is much better for smudges. Just ordered one for my Rezound. The quality is outrageous, super easy to install, and doesn't really affect the picture quality.

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-rezound-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
[HTC Rezound] IXIKelsonIXI:
Zagg is also spray application, right?

Rabble rabble rabble.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
All the ones I've had or applied for others have been, apparently they make a smooth one too that my bf has on his tablet but its almost no different than the egg shell feeling one. And its grabby :-\
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
I just got a custom fit a fewins ago and I'm not sure but I had it on my EVO a while ago and I remember it was crystal clear. Um not sure I'd its a adhesive thy use but there's a bit of hazyness to the screen. Can someone let me know if it dries out or if the hazyness will be there for good? Tia
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
Are you saying you got a custom install of Ghost Armor?

In any event the Ghost Armor I had was Crystal clear right after I put it on.

I got it replaced at the mall after 8-9 months and it was clear when the gave to me 20 min. later.

Most people could not tell I had anything on my phone.

It's still on the screen of my TP2 and it is still clear after 18 months.

Did you get some sort of anti-glare type of protector?

Do a youtube of Ghost Armor.
[HTC Rezound] Juroid:
Try Steinheil. They are best hands down. You won't be disappointed.

The only thing is they are little pricy how ever 2 protecter come in a pack.
[HTC Rezound] Juroid:
Ops!!!

Looks like the don't make one for Rezound yet.

If it ever comes out, try them out.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Jesus i dont know. Ive used GA quite a few itmes and i know they dont have different options to choose from. Ill take it back today and ask them about it. Most of those guys there at the mall where i am are dicks too. Ohh and my receipts say no returns on CUSTOM CUTS.,.....Gee, would have bee helpful if i knew that in the first place LO(L
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
I love the InvisibleShield....just got one for my phone and my fiancee's too...goes on easy, and looks great. Never understood why there's all the hate out there for them. One thing I will say, it looks like the newer ones have less of that orange peel effect. The one I had on my EVO looked like it had much more, so this newer one does make the screen look a bit better, which I'm happy about.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Yeah I caved in and got the Verizon protectors. Terrible idea. Screen looks distorted, shield has many scratches. I will be picking up a bodyguardz or ghost armor when they become available.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Verizon's would be good if they laid down all the way, and didn't distort. But, they don't :-\ and I'm on my last one cuz I messed a good one up on accident... This Verizon protector makes my eyes feel weird when looking at the screen(or it might be my imagination) :thumbdown:
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
Ok, so i've used two different screen protectors so far..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/15069634526...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1978wt_1163 Standard e-bay ones.

These were cut almost too perfect. I had to trim them a bit with scissors so they didn't go over the little lip on the edges of our screens. The screen was a bit tacky on the feel, but the image was not distorted at all, and these didn't show any marks or scratches after a week.

I then got a set of wet-apply BodyGuardz protectors. These were cut noticeably smaller than the screen, so easy to fit, but there's an edge there between the protector and the screen lip. I don't care about that bit not being covered, doesn't bother me. It was easy to apply, but these protectors pick up noticeable scratches just after a short while. I've decided they don't bother me very much because they aren't noticeable when using the device. I just see them when it sits somewhere under light with the screen off. The feel of these protectors is definitely better than the cheap ebay ones too! I'll stick with the bodyguardz for now!
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
So you prefer the small ones that get scratches over the ones that fit and don't? Interesting
[HTC Rezound] IXIKelsonIXI:
Sounds like you bought the matte ones. They also have regular clear. Those don't distort.

Rabble rabble rabble.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
That jerk never told me that, he could barely speak English and I was about sick of him. :-\ guess I know better now though lol. I should have gotten those until stienheil got something good for it. But otterbox is sending me more cuz I messed up one so its all good I spec...
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I like the bodyguardz more because they were easier to put on, and have a better feel. I can get over the bit of screen they leave uncovered, it truley is a small bit. The ebay ones that fit were way too difficult to put on and required modification to be tolerable.
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
I'm like you. My wife lets our grandchildren play with her Tbolt, but not me. They have plenty of toys to play with. I had my Incedible without a screen protector for about a year and there were no scratches on it whatsoever.
[HTC Rezound] aquint5554:
I've also used BodyGuardz on my old Eris. Had that thing in storage 2 yrs after the initial 2 yrs of using and still looked like new. The only problem I had it was so slighty bigger then the screen but otherwise never had an issue with it
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Realook got back with me today, and they are working on getting a protector for the Rezound. So hopefully they will have it out soon.

[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
got the verizon anti glare screen protectors n they suck..took it off after 3 days
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Hehe I could have told you that... :-(
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
I bought the halo anti glare from Amazon and they are amazing! Great matte feel that leaves no fingerprints and easy to apply. It makes my phone the second thing I like to finger ;-)
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Dirty boy... Does it make the screen look weird?
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
Not really, no rainbowing, not as sharp as crystal clear protectors, but I like the anti fingerprint and glare features.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Well I'd expect it to not be as sharp... I may order these :-D
[HTC Rezound] Tenchi4U:
It also helps to ensure both the screen protector and the screen are around the same temperature. cold surface + room temp surface = bubbles.

I too use the humid bathroom method.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Wow. After having the Verizon protecter on for almost a month, I finally took it off after being envious of my friend's GSII screen... WOW. It's like a whole new phone
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yea I got my replacement one from otterbox, and put it on perfectly... And you can't tell its on accept for at the top where the lip is around the camera n stuff... Feels better and it doesn't distort anything like the matte Verizon ones I had... Yay. I think its just a really cheap basic clear one... But since they sent it to me for free I didn't buy anything else... Still hoping stienheil does an ultra optics matte for this phone
[HTC Rezound] designerfx:
delete please.
[HTC Rezound] phillybizzle:
agreed
[HTC Rezound] tynman11:
I have that issue with the Verizon antiglare protectors. It makes the screen look real grainy. The non-antiglare protectors work real good for me though and the screen doesn't have the grainy look.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
I picked up a 2-pack from seidio and they look/feel great, much better than the VZW ones or the ebay ones I tried
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
ok I bit on this review...

these protectors are damn nice to the touch!

but they grain out the screen quite a bit :( definitely fuzzes up the image a lot... I'll leave it on for a few days to see if I just get accustomed to it, or if it get's clearer as it settles...

but yeah, the feel of these is definitely the best. I wish the crystal clear ones felt like this instead of all rubbery.
[HTC Rezound] Izeltokatl:
Personally been using zagg for over 5 years. From my early palm pilot, to the Sony clies, too my iRiver clix 2, then on too 3 different Droid phones. If you get then on right they never come off and have yet to scratch on me. I used too try the cheap ones years ago, but figured its an investment. Plus the offer life time warranty, you just pay a few bucks for shipping.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
Threw on the protector form Seidio, real nice. I Like how it fits better than the BodyGuardz at the moment, and it definitely has an acceptable feel to it. Looks good to me, I think i'll stick with this one.
[HTC Rezound] dono222:
martinfields screen protectors are the best clearity IMHO, but it's super pricey and they only give you one sheet, so don't mess up. I am using the incredible 2 protector on my rezound, got a deal for $6. It doesn't cover the entire face but covers the display and the bottom keys, the areas that I will touch. Waiting for them to come out with one for rezound. Love the clarity!!!

I also ordered the seidio 2 pack ones. Saw it on my coworkers Evo phone, looked good. Going to use those on my wife's rezound and my dad's rezound. I know... 3 rezounds. Got it at amazon .01 deal on BF.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I've always used boxwave screen protectors on my kids electronics and they work well. I don't use them on glass screens, but they make them in crystal clear and anti glare for the Rezound. They usually last about a year on my kids nintendo ds before needing replacing
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
I actually had some leftover from my Samsung fascinate with the anti-glare....hated the way they distorted the screen on the fascinate and the droid charge. Verizon actually makes the non anti glare ones like the pic someone posted. I love them! They look great and fit perfect. You'd never know it was there!

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Okay, just tried my third shot at a screen protector: Body Guardz. I bought the clear pack of 5. Gone through 3 of them and all of them looked like crap. Fail.

Maybe when Ghost Armor gets them in next week....
[HTC Rezound] texanaustinite:
Hate screen protectors. Never used one on my Eris or Inc, never got a scratch. However, they had Gorilla Glass... the Rezound does not.

Just got mine replaced after complaining to Verizon about several scratches on the glass after a week. Slapped a cheapo vz protector on the new phone for now.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I have the Halo anti-glare on right now. Kind of love/hate it. I love the way that it feels, but it really makes the screen dull. Just ordered Ghost Armor to try that out.
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
anti-glare tends to do that, you should have got the halo clear. Never tried ghost armor, let us know how that is.
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
I bought 6 screen shields from HTCpedia that are antiglare and made for the Rezound. It doesn't cover the camera, LED, or light sensor and has some fingerprint resistance. Also picked up the cheap kickstand case with holster from them. Shipping is 6 bucks though. Get it in about 4 days.
[HTC Rezound] nfrederick:
Got a pack of 3 from the Verizon store, works great and looks good.
[HTC Rezound] mttneedham:
http://xoskins.com/htc-rezound-screen-protector

This is all I've ever used I used on my og Evo, Evo 3d, Thunderbolt, and now my Rezound.

they are incredibly strong and stretchy like the invisible shield but doesn't have the orange peel look and is clear as ever and with a lifetime warranty you can't go wrong.

Edit: coupon code "byublue" (Without Quotes) will get you $3.00 off your order
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Does it feel tacky and sticky like the Zagg? That was one thing that started to get on my nerves. Also, does it use the spray stuff for install?
[HTC Rezound] mttneedham:
Nope smooth as silk just give it a couple of days to settle in and dry
[HTC Rezound] jkc120:
I suck at putting these things on. Is there somewhere I can take it if I buy one? I already have 2 hairline scratches on my rezound's screen and I've only had it at week. I've been babying this thing so I have no idea how I managed to get scratches already unless the screen is super soft.

I'm interested in a screen protector that doesn't take away from the screen's beauty, but I need someone else to put it on for me since I never am able to do it right (tried twice on my dinc and failed miserably).
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Best Buy will install Zagg products for you. Ghost Armor will do it also, if they happen to have a kiosk in your local mall. Verizon stores will also install for you - some reps are better at it than others - but I really don't recommend their glare-free screen protector: horrible.
[HTC Rezound] mttneedham:
+1 Your dead on man
[HTC Rezound] :
Here's what's concerns me about the wet application on the Rezound. Notice right around the perimeter of the glass....there is a small channel running completely around it. You can fit a piece of paper in it. You spray, you wipe, water goes down.....and.....:eek:

And there seems to be a little rubber/plastic lining that runs around the glass and slightly higher than the glass which will help channel the moisture downward.

You know what I'm sayin'? Am I nuts? :)

Don't answer that. :mad:

Regarding Boxwave, I had an order with them through Amazon which was said to be 'in stock.' One week goes by and no shipment. Obviously not in stock and I have dealt with these people before in a similarly unpleasant way. Unfortunately when you don't have alot of shield options (SGP) you go to the next rung. Anyway I cancelled them. Good riddance.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
You're not nuts. That's exactly what happened to me with Ghost Armor. I thought they were going to be buying me a new phone, but everything dried okay and all is well. :cool:
[HTC Rezound] :
Ehhhh... I just ordered ghost armor like 5 minutes ago. After considerable research. No kidding.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Just don't go crazy with the solution. I am going to back and have it installed again. I've tried 3 other brands and this looked the best so far.

Other tips:

Make sure phone, film, and solution are at room temp. Just works better.

The techs also spray the top of the film after applying to make squeegeeing easier, but obviously you'd want to be careful with this, too! :D
[HTC Rezound] :
I called up customer support at Ghost Armor. I thought they would gloss things over and say don't worry about it. Instead they said, yes, it is possible to damage the phone if too much solution is used. Order cancelled. However, I probably will get it done at a kiosk. There is one nearby but they would have to get a Rezound shield shipped to them. If things get effed up its on them. Generally I abide by 'if you want something done right, do it yourself.' But not this time.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
I just had the guy at the kiosk install it for me. He seems to have done a great job. Everything works and my screen looks great
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
Same thing happened to me with my ghost armor. The water inside the screen dried and didn't harm the phone (As i know of....for now). But this led me to start looking at the static cling protectors. I've read good reviews for boxwave. Has anyone tried box wave screen protectors?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
well ****. i just noticed three tiny hairline scratches on my screen that i can only see at a certain angle.... but now I know they're there, even though I baby this thing, so now I'm looking into a good protector. skinomi any good? the verizon ones suck as everyone said. ugh, i hate screen protectors lol
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
I like the ghost armor ones. Don't have the orange peel look like zagg. You can only see a little distortion if you are staring at the screen and have it less than an inch from your face :D
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah, i took a pack of the regular verizon ones from my store today...took my time putting this one on...got it 100% perfect! so this will last me for a bit.
[HTC Rezound] username235:
I just got some Realook ones today, they're amazing. 2 protectors for 12$ on Amazon, and you wont even know they're on your phone, it feels like the glass still. I love them. Lately, I haven't been into ghost armor. My mom got it on her Incredible 2 and has already taken it back 4 separate times due to various problems. Just doesn't seem trustworthy lately
[HTC Rezound] WhiteAsIce:
I got the Skinomi screen protector for my phone. It works, but it's not impressive. It glares heavily outdoors, and smudges very easily.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Agreed... I love their screen protectors.

Clearest, smoothest protectors I have ever used.

Not as scratch proof as the Zagg style, so they can get scratched with rough use, but they protect the screen and are invisible when installed properly.
[HTC Rezound] Cubs2008:
Another vote for the Seidio protector on this phone. Looks amazing and is crystal clear IMO. I have Zagg on the Bolt and have had it on there forever but the Seidio ones look really good on the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
Looks like realook and seidio are both good. Now I just need to pick which one! :)
