As stated by many others before, Gorilla glass is not scratch proof. It is possible to scratch it. A friend of mine had his phone for 2 days and somehow managed to get a small scratch on the screen.

$4-15 is a small price to pay for those of us that are OCD about things like that. Not to mention high quality protectors have no affect on screen quality and feel.

I've had multiple people not even notice the SGP Ultra Nano on my S III. That's with 2 other S III's in the office without screen protectors to compare with.

If you don't feel the need to have one on your phone, there's no need to discourage other people from getting one.

I'm also guessing you're a redditor. I'd challenge you or anyone that claims screen protectors are pointless to video yourself taking a small amount of sand and rub in on your screen and see if you get scratches. Most (since I can't claim I've watched every single video) if not all the videos on youtube testing gorilla glass never use material that's harder than glass. Quartz is harder than glass and will definitely scratch the screen and is common in sand.

Sometimes people wonder about phantom scratches on their screen. It's probably because they've been near construction sites, volleyball courts, playgrounds, baseball fields, etc where you can find sand. Maybe you drive by a source with your window down and manage to get a tiny amount on your cloths and in your pocket somehow. Voila, phantom scratches.

I suppose. I've put sharp and dull metal against GG, rocks, sand (been to the beach many times and have had no problems with GG. But, of course, one person's non issue could be another's hell. So, fine, I'll give you that.

What's a redditor?

I scratched my bionics gg without a screen protector on it. I stupidly didn't think I needed one either. I have wrapsol protectors on both Gsiii's I have. Best I've ever used. Feels as smooth as the glass did. Lifetime guarantee too.

Yea, I got that ;). I was just amazed that you would think that just bc it's gorilla glass that no protection is needed. There are A LOT of posts that prove that the gorilla glass is not scratch proof....maybe a little scratch resistant. So to say it's not needed simply bc of being gorilla glass was a bit....well it just led me to believe that maybe u hadn't researched before making that comment. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the reply tho.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Don_Perrignon:
Not even about the research, really. I've just put previous phones through the test with no problems. But, it's all good. Do you want you need to.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmanlee:
Are these the kind of screen protectors (like zagg invisibleshield) that r super durable & u have to use water to install? I'm looking for one of those b4 I pick up my SGSIII cuz they're great. dry install screen protectors r too flimsy for my taste

UPDATE: Much appreciated to defnow for the heads up on this great deal on XtremeGuard.com. They are, in fact, the durable invisibleshield style screen protectors that you have to wet-install. I love these because they make your phone literally scratch proof. I bought 3 of them, including 1 full-body one for a grand total of $3.75. You really can't beat that price.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pjoosterbaan:
Just bought mine at focalprice.com, and they are very cheap.

Paid around $ 2,21 for 10 pcs. They scratch easy, but for that kind of money I can change them often if necessary :)

Thank you for the heads up on the deal!

Wet application screen protectors give me the heebie jeebies. I'm probably going to get the SGP screen protector that covers the whole screen in this thread. I'm just a little worried about whether a tight fitting TPU case will cause lifting on the edges.

Uhhmm to those whove purchased the xtremeguard.. Dont buy them. Dont even consider it.. Applied mine, worst hr ive ever spent in my life.. In fact the full body over laps the back of the phone... Bad experience and yes i want my 2.88$ back

sorry to hear that.Well the price is much too cheap.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] alextheguy:
Dude, try this Steinheil Flex HD from SGP. It's quite good, indeed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GuestK00450:
I'm using the Steinheil Ultra Nano Clear. It's one of the best screen protectors I have ever used for any phone. No oils get on the screen, and it barely smudges, so I only need to wipe my screen once every 2 days for 10 seconds in the morning, and then it is as good as new.

After you break it in with around 2-3 days of normal use or wiping it down roughly with a micro-fiber for around 10 minutes and then giving it 1-2 hours of use, it is only slightly rougher than the screen with no protector on it.

I can make a video review if you guys are interested. It was so easy to apply, I think I should have made one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twistmycap:
I just need something that covers the screen now. Not the whole front of the phone, just got a gelaskin for my gs3. Loving it! Dose anyone know of any screen protectors that only cover the. Screen portion
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SotYPL:
Yeh it has really nice feeling but it scratches way too easy. I have two scratches from fingernails after a week of use. My realook on old fascinate had no scratches at all after almost 2 years of using. Unfortunately it seems that S3 version of Realook is nowhere near as good as the one for fascinate and other s1 variants. I think I will try new sgp ultra crystal next.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] masonsparty:
Screen is def not gorilla glass. Both my previous HTC phone i used totally not a single blemish on the screen. On the S3 i got a pretty bad scratch that made it look like it was always a wet spot. I never put the screen in pocket with anything else in it, its pretty weak. Phone charging port luckily went bad so i tried to scratch with butter knife and scratched easily, then tried my old htc evo and evo 3d and could not get to scratch! SO, looks like i will have to get screen protector for new phone which i hate!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keekah:
You mean just the part where the actual pixels are? Someone else has already asked this in another thread but so far no. May just have to cut one to size.

OR... I was thinking that wouldn't you be able to just put the screen protector on and then the gelaskin on top of it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twistmycap:
Tried that.. Failure to launch pretty much, gah guess i have to cut one to size.. Blah.. All this work

Try SKINPEA. It is by far the best I have used so far... and I tried most of the known brands out there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Crisisx1:
Bull **** lol.I never dropped my phone.had a screen protector on and still got love 3 scratches ..b.s.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Martin L.:
I think that screen protectors are good for those without gorillaglass or those who want to sell the phone after short usage.

I for my part don't like screen protectors, because they become faster dirty than gorilla glas itself.

I have taken sevelal times the 3M Vikuiti. This is a great film, but anyway, fat-fingers leave strong fingerprints.

The anti-reflex from 3M leave stronger fingerprints than the classic films.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bkeaver:
So far the best screen protector I have used to date is the SGP curved crystal screen protector. I previously was using the nano clear from SGP and loved that one but then switched to the curved crystal and haven't looked back. I cannot even tell there is a protector on my phone. Have had it on for over a month so far.

Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
I bought a micro USB (M) to USB (F) adapter so I could plug in my XBOX PC wireless game receiver into my LTEVO, which is intended to allow me to use my Xbox 360 wireless controller with my phone. However, the wireless receiver will not power up when I plug it into my phone. It works when I plug it into my PC, so I know the receiver is not the issue.

Is there a setting that I need change on my phone in order for the receiver to get power? Or do I need a different adapter in order for this to work? I've seen them work on the Youtube videos, so I know this is possible. I appreciate your assistance!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
I don't think the microusb port supplies power to external devices??? Or if it does it may not provide enough to power the adapter. I believe that is why if you buy the MHL adapter for HDMI it only works if you plug your charger into it to supply power.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
Valid point, however, check out all these Youtube videos showing the adapter/receiver working without external power:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pE1rJ5nKYI
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BonkyMoon:
I think for that to work the device needs to have USB-host capability (and have that capability enabled.) I don't know if the LTEVO has this, but I kinda suspect that it doesn't.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katamari201:
I've owned other samsung phones and didn't have a problem snapping those on. For some reason however, three of the snap points on the side with the notch opening will not snap into place no matter how much I push down. I attached a photo. There are six snap points. The top two around the notch opening and the bottom one snaps on easily, but the three in-between do not, causing a nice hump. I've tried fiddling with the snaps on the back cover, but honestly you can't really move them from what I can tell, since there's nothing to move. Tried pushing them one way or another with pliers, but its really wishful thinking that it changed anything. So what am I doing wrong? I'm not 100% sure if the back cover was snapped on completely when I took it off the back for the first time, but I have never been able to snap those three points, ever. Also tried to take a picture of the back cover snaps but all my pics are blurry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YLNdroid:
katamari201, I would suggest you refrain from toying around with the back cover thus avoiding a possible physical damage. I also suggest you take it to your nearest authorized Samsung service centre. If your device is still within the warranty period, you can get a replacement cover without bearing any charge.

:)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katamari201:
Took me this long to finally figure out how to snap the two clips in. Yes the design is defective, liable for improper finishes to screw it all up. LIke I said, I never had too many issues with previous galaxy snap on back covers, but this one was a doozy. Had two clips un-snapped for the longest time using original cover. Bought a metallic blue cover that won't snap on properly period, goes in and pops right back out, on all but the bottom side, which I didn't snap into place I just tucked into the holes.

Decided to try properly snapping all the clips on the original cover again. Lots of pushing down and thinking the phone will break. I finally did it, and it was REALLY LOUD snap for those two or three clips. They were not normal. Had to put the phone face down on my palm, insert the cover at an angle pushing heavily down on the side where the unsnappable clips were, and pushing the side heavily down while bending the rest of it upwards, forcing it at an angle. THe usual snap on bottom and move upwards on both sides all the way to the top did not apply for those two clips, whereas everything else snapped on easily, so I had to do those two clips first, and do them at an angle and bend the cover upward to make a large angle, because just pushing down on it when the cover is flat on the back will do absolutely nothing and basically be on the road to breaking the phone. The aftermarket metallic cover wouldn't even stay in any of the holes, just popped right back out. I really hate this snap on design. Samsung needs to learn to make deeper snaps or use a slide on design, and there is plenty of room for that since the chrome sides are so thick anyway.

Ugh I am so tired of poor samsung build quality. The note uses the same scratchable chrome sides as the S2, same cheap back and weak snap-on design. There's a reason why all the Samsung phones at my local AT&T have tape on the back along the battery seam.
[General Accessories] ayturkozmen:
- Turn off the device

- Music files to the copy and paste SD card

- SD card into the device

- Connect the charger cable

- Turn on the device

- Wait max. 10 minutes

- Turn off the device, unplug charge cable and turn on again

Now you will recognize the music files on the SD card.

Anyway... NuroSlam your Score is broken? or you just can't charge it?

I don't know if ZTE has released any kernel source that will work on CDMA phones, it's their duty to do that under the GPL, so hassle ZTE, your network operator (if it's a network-branded phone) & the place that supplied you with your phone. Do it loudly, in public, Twitter is good. Without source code for the kernel they're violating copyright by selling these phones.

If you compile CM7 for VMSPLIT 2G then you might be able to get it working with the stock kernel.

Since the Blade section was the one i went to get any info on the score, not to mention that yes, the idea of the same brand does make sense to put it where one might think it gets seen....but there is no need for the snarky BS from others...but i digress.

Im not really worried about the radio working or not myself, i use it as a homeless mans tablet while sitting in starbucks.
