i use a brand called "realook". works good enough for me. it even comes with a screen protector for the camera!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
+10 for the Steinheil Ultra Crystal - I've used the Ultra Crystal (which I managed to scuff somehow after a couple of months, but that's what it's there for!) and this time I got the Ultra Fine. It has a matte finish, which isn't as crystal clear (which bugged me for a while) but it will NOT take fingerprints, smears, anything! So I got over the matte look - it's just too nice to NEVER have a finger smear on the screen.

I did try a couple others before getting these (recommended from another thread), and I learned all about orange peeling, rainbow effect, and why it's worth the extra money :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
This is a huge misconception. Gorilla Glass is not anti-scratch or scratch proof, it's scratch resistant. GG can indeed scratch. Something as small as one grain of sand can scratch it, some metals as well. I think I even read once of a single grain of salt scratching a screen with GG.

I think the Steinheil Ultra Crystal and realook are the best screen protectors. Right now I have the Steinheil Ultra Crystal on there. People cant even tell there is a screen protector on the screen. A few times people have said "You should get a screen protector on your phone so the screen doesnt scratch" so they are shocked when I tell them there is one on there. lol Same for the realook. You couldnt tell there was a protector on. I do think my realook lasted longer without starting to get scratched compared to the Steinheil though. My Steinheil is only 2 months old and is all scratched up, I think it took like 6 months for my realook to get like that

I buy 9$ ones when I go to Walmart, they are cheap and efficient.

It ain't an Apple product, so I don't find the need to waste 30$ on a screen protector >.>

Gorilla glass FTW.

I bought a 2-pack of Case Mate HD Screen Protector, Anti-fingerprint scratch resistant film.

I like it because it really doesn't attract any fingerprints. It does add a matte look to the screen but I prefer it since it also cuts glare outside. Its expensive at $15 but I've had one on for 5 months so far without a need for replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Are those leaving finger-prints and smudge when swiping?

I have a cheap one and it looks horrible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
I've used several brands in the past on lots of different smartphones, but I prefer SGP and Realook.

Currently sporting Realook right now on both my SGS II and Captivate. My last go around for new protectors I chose Realook over SGP because for the price of one SGP, you get a 2-pack of the Realooks.

Not sure why people on Androidcentral were hating on the Realooks, but IMO you can't go wrong with either one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TooLateGabe:
Haven't used one on a phone since my Nokia E71... glass screens are pretty durable, not muppet proof mind you, (keep scratchy things AWAY from screen) but more durable than most people worry. Also, I find using a softer material than what you're "protecting" idiotic for protection. If you can scratch a glass screen while being somewhat cognizant of your device and what will damage it, screen protection isn't a bad idea... but for you I suggest the method of getting rid of the S2 and go find an Eternity to bang around on til u can learn to handle a big boy phone. :)

tried to buy Zaag yesterday for my skyrocket, went to radio shack. the guy offered to install it for free... $12.xx with tax. i asked him if it will fit the skyrocket, he said yes. First box he opened didn't have any screen protector inside. The second box he opened the screen protector did not fit the skyrocket. ODD! The picture in the ZAAG box looks exactly like my skyrocket but didn't have the "Skyrocket" written on it. I got a refund. Thank goodness I didn't take it home or i would've had to come back and they probably would not believe that the box did not contain a screen protector. I guess back to the 3/$1 cheapo screen protector from ebay. :silly: i've lost faith, this was my first time to jump at more expensive screen protector.

Was using the protector that was on with the otterbox but my screen always looked "fuzzy". No smudges with it, but not "pretty" either. Recently got the SGP Ultra Crystal after seeing you guys reviews. Awesome! Yes it shows fingerprints, but dang what a screen. This is how oled is supposed to look! Easy to apply and feels more like the factory glass. Will never buy anything else after this.

Or spoiled children who's mommy pays for everything, and is just a post whore?

On topic: I ordered the full body kit from zag I'm more interested in the glass then the back. I just wanted something easy to clean off and doesn't show every bit of oil like the glass my past experience with zagg on my iPhone 4 was ehh... it rub off the screen in the corners VERY easily which is partially my own fault I'm sure. Ive had the 5 for 3$ ones off eBay for my iPhone and they worked better. The BEST I used was an anti-glare one, I think it was from atts store, and it felt perfect it had like a mat finish and oh I just loved it really but once I went back for more they were gone. If you see any for the i777 let me know :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mediarocker:

The screen protector I am using and have always used - I had the same thing on my Infuse - is the Moshi iVisor. It is fingerprint proof, anti-glare and gives the screen a much nicer feel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] darksidegs2:
I too use the Zagg's InviShield. It's ok. I like it better than any of the cheaper screen protectors but at times my fingers like to stick to it, with lack of better terms, while sliding my fingers across the screen. Overall a good screen protector IMO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] manigault:
Skinomi here. It can be a little tacky sometimes, and it has a few "dents" in it but it's a good one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tumo135:
I notice more smudging and dirt in general with the screen protector. Cleans really easy though. Never really bothered me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mediarocker:
My fingers stick to my invisishield in the right conditions too. I've also noticed that when my fingernails get to needing a trim, they get caught on the protector. It also picks up fingerprints, but cleans very easily. My only issue is how it picks up glare easily. I wish I knew the protector I had on my Aria. It was always smooth, slick, glare resistant, and scratch resistant. I will need to check it out. I kinda like my Zagg though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thanitos:
The issue I have is that stupid rubber thing doesn't work so I use a credit card but it then scratches the screen protector and I get rainbow lines. I'm ocd when it comes to my phones screens so its hard to ignore sometimes

I've had the Moshi as well from day one as it was the only one available at the AT&T store at the time I bought the phone. I agree the anti-glare does reduce the screen quality a bit and I've been thinking of going with a clear protector. I never noticed the blacked-out effect until reading your post. You're right! :good:

i went the cheap route. all i can say is these are the best screen protectors i have ever had. i work with motor oil, tranny fluid, break parts cleaner and all kinds of other fluids at work. i had a captivate and had some cheap screen protectors like this and the matte finish came off and they were glossy. these for the s2 have not done this. i have had all kinds of stuff on my hands and cleaners and used my phone and not one issue with any of the matte finish rubbing off. i have had it on there since ive owned the phone for about a half of year or more and its holding up great. i would highly recommend these to anybody no matter what your budget. i have made a few scratches on it from keys and some other stuff i had dropped on it but not bad.

I just picked up a pack of Walmart's "WrighRight?" last night. 3-pack for $10. I love em. Feels like glass, and does not affect image quality of the screen like the expensive $25 one I had from the At&t store. It was simple to put on too, without bubbles, and I've never had any luck getting protectors on without bubbles. My only complaint thus far in 12 hrs, is that it is quite a dust magnet.

Just got a Moshi iVisor AG online for about 10 bucks and I couldn't be happier.

Anyone who says Gorilla Glass doesn't scratch, has no clue. The key tests and all that don't mean a thing. Keys are brass, brass is soft. Sand is the real problem, all it takes is one grain, or salt. Do a "salt test" then tell me GG doesn't scratch.

I've had my s2 for over a year now and I'm very rough with it and I can honestly say there is absolutely no need for a screen protector. The gorilla glass is still flawless without a single nick in it.

I also have never needed a case and have dropped it a multitude of times with it taking absolutely no damage besides a few chips in the paint.

If you need confirmation on how rugged this phone is just go to YouTube and look up a few videos of people attacking an s2 with hammers and it surviving basically everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mnuzy:
I've been using the iVisor since I've owned my GS2. I just replaced it after about one year of use and only because I had an issue where my phone got stuck in the cup holder of my vehicle (cup holder cover would not open with phone stuck inside) and i had to use scissors to get it unjammed and i scratched the protector badly. Without it I would have scratched the he'll out of my screen, but with it not a mark on the screen. Super easy to put on. No smudges or glare and no bubbles or anything like that to worry about. Combined with a TC case it provides plenty of protection if you don't use the phone in very harsh environments or conditions and keeps the lightweight and thin profile intact.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bailey37821:
although I use a very small non protective case....I agree here with this statement on screen protectors. I have seen folks spend a lot on nice screen protectors, when I can replace the glass for 15.00 even if it did not make it the required year before I switch to a new phone.

So lets break it down. $15x 3 seperate screen replacements= $45. Or one time purchase $15 for a pack of x3 screen protectors.

Make sure you are plugging the USB on the back end of your computer, closer to the motherboard. I never had any luck with ODIN when plugging into the front USB ports; seems not enough power goes to those.

Try a different version of ODIN. The link is available in a sticky around here somewhere. If you're entering download mode, all is not lost. I would try to click Start on ODIN just in case.

Try using the Toolbox. It has all the drivers, pit/tar files and Odin too. I use it all the time. I agree, if you can get anything to even show up on your screen, you are not "hard" bricked. Just have to find that sweet spot.

Remember that you don't have to have Download showing up on your screen, just a yellow COM box in Odin. Sometimes people forget that and freak out but I know you said it (the computer) doesn't recognize. Is this bc you are not seeing any Mass Storage devices? Just keep trying to get that little yellow box.
