Zagg Invisi shield is definitely the way to go. I would just take your phone to the mall and have them apply with the wet method instead of the dry ones you can buy in store. They are the best and once you pay full price you can always get any side replaced for only 5$ :]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eep02b:
Personally I prefer the reallook screen protectors. They are a dry application, but have had awesome success with them. Only issue will be if you have the d30 case. But most screen protectors have issues with this case.

Sgp ultra crystal i got mines today and put mines on. It is truly exactly what they say no one knows i have a screen protector on till i tell them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crookshanks:
I tried one of those first on my Thunderbolt. It was really nice... Until it spent a ride in my pocket with my keys for a couple hours. It got pretty scratched up. I also have a pretty oily face and the Zagg hides that and the fingerprints a lot better than the SGP. When it's new though, that SGP is great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xbanhcuonx:
I just ordered an Xtremeguard full-body kit off of ebay for $5 with free shipping. They are supposed to be direct competitors to Zagg from the looks of their ad but I don't have any experience with them so when I get it, I will get back to you.

I am not really worried about the screen as it's gorilla glass and that stuff is tough! I already have a Diztronic TPU case on my phone and just wanted a "apply and forget" screen protector that will lessen my OCDness with the screen (despite it being so tough).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrmiddl:
anyone have a preferred screen protector with the 3DO case? i'm trying to find one that doesn't mess up with this case, lasts, and doesn't show all the oily fingerprints
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
I don't think you did it right i thought the squeege was scratching the screen protector. Cause it had a whole bunch of scratches on it. When trying to get the bubbles out. I removed the scratched up screen protector. Then underneath was the screen protector on perfectly. I even applied keys to it it didn't scratch up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ZeroDefined:
For those of you with the Zagg screen protector, does it tend to bubble around the edges when used in conjunction with a tpu/d30 case?

Considering getting one myself, but this would be the deal breaker

I agree I think its lifetime warranty too ;-)

I don't think you read it right... It was perfect when I put it on and stayed that way for a few weeks. It looked fantastic. You couldn't tell there was a screen protector on it at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dklimah:
Realook is really nice. Had it for the vibrant and now the GSii.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peeturr:
I highly recommend realook for the perfect fit. 10/10 for not being able to tell there is a screen protector. But then again like all other screen protectors that claim to be glare and smudge free, it really is not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
I have the zagg invisible shield with the D30 case and they got perfectly in sync. I had mine installed at the mall and its just the perfect distance so the D30 doesn't even touch it. Kind of sweet. I mean a millimeter or so, but that is enough and I feel like my phone is as safe as being in a pillow.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Goliath27:
So while at radio shack yesterday, I was checking out the Zagg protectors. It turns out that the one made for the Sprint SII fits almost identically to the TMo SII. It is just a tad bit shorter but not even noticeable.

Is this the one everyone is using on their T989 or did ZAGG make one for our phones? I might buy it myself if I can find a coupon code, this Skinomi crap is itching to get peeled off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
It should work perfect and its not supposed to touch the edges of the phone because then the case would mess it up. I'll try to post some pics later to show you how mine looks with the D30 case

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Goliath27:
No hate, just not satisfied. So the Zagg for the Sprint S2 is the same? Or did Zagg make one for the Tmo S2?

I've used bodyguardz and zagg before. They've been good but I always hated the orange peel and friction when sliding my finger.

The other day I tried out the Tmobile branded screen protector. I think it works awesome! Dead easy to apply, prefect fit, no orange peel and no friction. It also works great with the Diztronic you case, with no uplift or peeling at the edges due to the case.

I highly recommend it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Branso07:
is it just a standard screen protector? Like just a clear film?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Hi all. Just throwing in my two cents. Generally I always go with the Zagg invisible shield but I came accross the Extreme Guard shield for much much much cheaper. I paid 5 dollars shipped on EBay and so far I must say I'm impressed.

So far there are minor issues. First of all, Zagg cuts their pieces deeply so they peel right out of the backing. These weren't cut as deep and I actually had to use a straight pin to start peeling it up. It seemed as though they just scored the surface of the cover. I will say however that it is a perfect fit and it does come off of the backing properly. It just takes a bit more effort. Application was identical to the others ( warm soapy water , keep fingers wet ect). The skin went on smooth and I had no bubbles or fuzzy areas. It looks crystal clear and has the exact same texture as the Zaggs ( slightly rubbery ).

The next issue was that there is a gap that the skin doesn't cover on the top corners. Easy fix though. I just used a sharp pair of scissors and cut a small patch to fill it from the excess cover left over. You can't even tell.

Hey for 5 bucks you can't beat it. It is soooooooo much better than any standard screen cover.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] maguin4:
yeah, it's just a clear film. it goes on dry and don't need the typical spray. coming from wet application type protectors I was skeptical, but it's been working great. and the film is much more similar to glass in terms of feel than the other types.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Lol hope you like it as much as I do. Personally I like the slightly rubberized texture because it adds just enough grip. The chrome sides you hold while making calls is pretty slippery without it. I haven't had any issues with typing / using swype.

A little more advice about installing any wet application skin. I use a dinner plate with water and a drop of soap. I continually keep my fingers wet and I submerge the entire piece in the solution. I then take it out and shake it. I never get dust spots or bubbles and I put these things on every device my wife and I get lol.

Good luck and enjoy !!

How'd you mess up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
They are impossible to mess up really..... did you keep it and your fingers pretty wet during installation ? You absolutely need to add dish soap too . It takes like 20 mins to dry enough though but until then it should slide around like there isn't any kind of adhesive . . . . . Making it impossible to put it on wrong.

screen only

i already know for a fact that its pretty good on the screen, since i had it..i find applying these screenprotectors to be fairly hard..because even after wiping everything off screen..dust still gets in during the installation process

so its a good idea to have more that one at the ready
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
I personally havent used a protector on my vibrant or this phone but on my G1 the best way to install the protector was to go into a small bathroom turn on the shower and get the room nice and steamy. The steam will help the dust settle and you can apply it w/o the dust.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Branso07:

I've been monitoring this thread but no one has mentioned anything about an anti fingerprint protector. I am a greasy Italian & need something that is anti greasy. Haha. I have a zagg invisishield now & I constantly have to wipe it because of my oily face. Any suggestions?

I had the anti glare on here, It really messed up the screen, like it just looks ugly. Lol feels nice on the fingers though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Branso07:
I had it on the original post. The anti fingerprint,I think, is an apple exclusive because I haven't been able to find a one that says anti fingerprint.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Branso07:
Definitely the Xtreme Guard. I have it on this phone with the black D30 case and I don't even notice the screen protector
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Just an update on my Extreme Guard Full Body Cover. So, its been a month and I figured I'd share that I have had 0 issues with peeling / bubbling / fading. It looks just as clean as when I installed it. I'm using this plus a generic TPU ( Black S Type ) skin and my phone looks new even after taking a spill or two :-D

My only gripes are that the back skin still has bubbles in it ( tiny ones ) but I'm guessing its because of the textured finish. I don't mind though because its still protecting it and the skin covers it anyway. The second gripe its that the screen cover picks up fingerprints easy.I'm constantly wiping them off. Still. I think I'd rather that than have a matted finish dulling the screen like the others claiming to be anti fingerprint.

So to sum it up, still happy with it and well worth 5 bucks. Just pay attention to the installation instructions :-D

Ps,

Here is the case I went with. It adds almost no weight / thickness but the rubber/plastic does well absorbing shocks.

[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
If you laptop has Bluetooth (It should, I thought all Intel wifi chipsets in laptops were also Bluetooth) then what you want is a PAN "Personal Area Network". I thought the basic bluetooth stack in Windows supported this out of the box. (The Toshiba BT stack I used with Windows XP did, I don't know for sure about the MS BT stack in Windows 7 though).

Then you just turn on Internet Connection Sharing for you Wifi adapter to the Bluetooth PAN adapter.

Something like that anyway. I'm going from memory on the Windows side, and assuming the Droid 3 (etc.) supports PAN on its Bluetooth setup.

Doing it with USB though is trickier. On Windows 7, my ME863 appears as a network device with IP address, but I don't know if it'd work if I simply used ICS to share a link to the device because I don't know that the phone would be looking for a DHCP server. (It _is_ a DHCP server at this point)
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Are you sure your not using the phones 3g or wifi. Did you try turnin on airplane mode and seeing if you still have internet
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
I just had a play, and I don't think my bluetooth solution is as easy as I'd hoped.

My Milestone 3 was able to join a PAN with my laptop and form their little adhoc network.

The best phone-side instructions I could find are at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=666988 however a look around suggests that Windows 7 ICS won't let you share a network connection _to_ a BT network. I certainly couldn't see a way, although possibly it was because my phone is exporting a default gateway, rather than because of any inherent limitation of Windows.

It's a starting point, but not a particularly promising one. Whether ICS can be made to share Internet to the bluetooth PAN or not is really the only sticking point for "possible" versus "impossible" but a root-enabled App or possibly custom ROM would be needed on the phone to move from "possible" to "easy".
