As much as I like the Xtreme Guard, and I really do, I do miss the naked phone. When I first got it, it was so shiny and smooth. The colors were brilliant. The color is still fine, but it's tempting to remove the cover. Just my luck, though, I'd get a scratch the first day off. :rolleyes: I've had it on since almost brand new, and have yet to get a scratch, but I do remember getting major scratches with the ZAGG on the first day. Moments after installing it, I used the included cloth to clean the screen, and it scratched it permanantly. Was a BIG bummer. The scratches were more like rub-burn marks, than scratches, but I could never get them to go away. As a matter of fact, I just looked and they are still there. Same Zagg Screen Protector on my Trinity for a few years. Body portion peeled badly so I removed most of it.

I got the Zaag screen protector and it has worked out great, no issues, perfect fit
[Focus Accessories] SuperSport:
The ZAGG is a fantastic product, but unfortunately they do peel off over time. But that's the nature of the beast. The xTreme Guard also peels after time, but the cost difference makes it a no brainer for me since after a while I need to replace them both anyways. $25 compared to $4.

The xTreme Guard fits the Screen and battery cover Perfectly, but the sides are not quite right. Although, I had the same issue with my Trinity and ZAGG.

I wish I still had my sign shop, I'd make a PERFECT fitting cover. I'm quite good at adjusting the vector layouts to fit something. I used to do it all the time when other shops could not. I used to create templates for screen printing that were used to restore old airplane cockpits. The tolerances were quite tight, but I just took my time until they fit exactly. Then my screen printer would use that to print the dash like brand new. I also cut a lot of vinyl with zero tolerances, not for phones, but often more technical and tight fitting.

I just receive this protectors:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380292483315&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Very very nice quality. Smooth surface, and no visual distortions like other cheap ones that I ordered.

However in the picture looks like the sensors are uncovered, but I have received another cutout with just the speaker hole. (I feel that light sensor does not work well covered)
[Focus Accessories] Andrew725:
I use the Ultimate Screen Guard from Seidio. Pricey, but works great. It has that barely there look and feel. No texture and super clear.

Combined with a Body Glove Mirage this phone is just about perfectly covered.
[Focus Accessories] eried:
Did the seidio screen protector retain grease from fingers (like someone said windex-like streaks)?

The only problem of my current cheap protector is this problem.
[Focus Accessories] Andrew725:
Yeah, it does. I keep a microfiber cloth around to clean it up (it does so nicely).

Guess I should try a cheaper brand, then lol. But really I have no complaints about it. They're cut perfectly, are anti-static and perfectly clear with no loss of touch responsiveness. If there are any former iPhone users reading this thread, the seidio is pretty much identical to the old Power Support Crystal films, which is why I guess I like the seidio film so much :)
[Focus Accessories] eried:
I had very bad experiences with expensive ones (those applied with water) so I always tend to buy a lot of cheaper ones and try all. From three 3x packs I found a perfect ones, but they left those finger marks.
[Focus Accessories] gmfeld:
Thinking about switching to this from the Zagg Invisible Shield. I don't like the Zagg rubbery feel and orange peel look. Anyone know whether it will leave any residue on my screen if I remove the Zagg?
[Focus Accessories] danchar4:
Zagg invisible sheild user here...

Works great, except if your fingers aren't completely dry, then you'll skip across the surface rather than glide. Wiping clean is easy.
[Focus Accessories] sheba611:
I am using the Seidio screen protector on my Focus. I tried Reallook first but it is too thick and difficult to handle and install. Also the cutout for the earpiece at top was mislocated, making the protector go on crooked. I tried Zagg on my Droid X but replaced after a few months with Steinheil Ultra Crystal. Sadly, Steinheil does not make protectors for the Focus. I recommend the Seidio.
[Focus Accessories] woodbane:
I've become very partial to Bodyguardz protectors on my devices.

It's the same kind of protector as Zagg and Phantomskinz, military grade wet apply film.

Having tried all three of the major wet apply solutions I definitely prefer the Bodyguardz for the following reasons:

Of the three, I have found them easiest to apply

Any tiny bubbles I have ever had really do disappear but it can take up to a week, if you're the impatient type then don't bother

Almost ZERO orange peel. The Zagg are simply horrible with this IMO, I think it's because the material is actually a little thicker with the Zagg skins - definitely more rubbery

Once these are on and fully 'cured', which as I said, I honestly believe can take up to a week, the screen protector is about as smooth as I've ever seen. Friends that I show my devices to are extremely surprised when I tell them there is a screen protector on it

Cut and fit are good, very close to the edge of the screen

You get two sets for the same price that Zagg gives you one

Same Lifetime Warranty deal

So maybe in a perfect world you could get a Zagg for the back of the device to get that rubbery feel and a Bodyguardz for the front for the smoothness! :D

That all being said, I have to say I'm extremely tempted by the Xtremeguardz - they look to be the same thing but at a fraction of the cost.

The Focus is also the first device I'm seriously considering a case with to protect the back. I normally like my devices "naked" with the invisible type skins on but I'm thinking a really thin case that just covers the back/sides like that bodyglove plus a screen protector might be the way to go.

Regarding Gorilla Glass and not using a screen protector - there is no such thing as scratch PROOF glass, only scratch RESISTANT. A hard enough material WILL scratch these glass screens, for a relatively minor investment, why risk it?

LOL - I've just read that post back and it sounds like I'm a spokesperson for Bodyguardz, which I'M NOT!! I've just had really good luck with them on the last 6 or 7 cell phones I've owned.
[Focus Accessories] Luuthian:
I will need to check out Bodyguardz next time.

Currently I've used Invisible Shield on two iPod Touches and three Samsung Focus', and I have yet to be disappointed. Regardless of what brand you pick, I personally believe the military grade, liquid applicator protectors are the best.
[Focus Accessories] woodbane:
Wanted to add I ordered a set of the Xtremeguard protectors from ebay after reading about them in this thread. Shipped very fast, 3 days from utah to vermont.

Initial impressions / mini-review:

They apply quite differently to the Bodyguardz/Zagg. I found them to be less tacky and more slippery once water was applied. Good for repositioning but took me by surprise when I started to smooth it on and the whole piece slid right off the end of the phone! :eek: I have found the Bodyguardz to be just tacky enough to slightly wiggle in to place and then they start to adhere.

Cut is fairly good but not as accurate as Bodyguardz. The coverage is actually so 'edge to edge' that I can actually feel the skin edge on the back of the phone where it's almost overlapping the sides, which I can already tell is going to piss me off as I'm catching it with my hand. The Bodyguardz skins are all cut just a tiny bit smaller than the area you are covering so you don't run in to this.

Also, the pieces intended to cover the sides of the phone were a joke, not even close to the right shape or size. The cut also hadn't quite cleanly separated the skin template from the surrounding material so there were a couple of places I had tiny 'skin tags'.

They've only been on for a few hours so can't really comment on the finished product yet but initial impressions are good. I'm hopeful for a crystal clear and smooth finish once fully cured. I certainly didn't have any problems with bubbles, they went on nice and smooth and were very easy to squeegee the water and bubbles out of.

Overall:

For the price, these are a bargain. If you are OK with getting great value for money at the slight cost of a not quite perfect product then you can't go wrong with these. I'll be very interested to see how these stack up against the Bodyguardz when fully cured in terms of clarity, feel and longevity.

My 2c.
[Focus Accessories] Crazy Canuck:
I was wandering around the mall yesterday, looking for a case and screen protector. I have ordered the black and gray case mate pop case, and the Zagg screen protector, but didn't want to wait the 2-4 weeks with the naked phone. Murphy's Law... It'll get dinged or scratched before i get them delivered.

For the life of me, I can't find anything for the phone in my city. As I walked out of the last cell phone store in the mall, I saw a Ghost Armor kiosk in the hall. I went and spoke with them, and they had two focus full body skins left. $30 and 20 minutes later, they had installed the skin for me.

So far I really like the result. No streaks or bubbles, and the screen is still fairly smooth. I am a fan of Zagg's skins. They work, but the screen always feels tacky. I'm liking this skin, as my fingers slide freely over the screen.

I will probably still use the case on occasion when it arrives, but for now my phone can stay sleek and sexy without me worrying too much of scratches. Guess I'll just hang on to the Zagg as a backup skin.

Found a link for the Ghost Armor skins if anyone else is interested:

[Focus Accessories] Luuthian:
You and I are in the same situation Canuck. I can't find anything for the Focus in Vancouver. At best I found myself the Invisible Shield screen guards at a random Rogers Plus store. That's it.
[Focus Accessories] crecsky:
I'm thinking it's hard for Canadians to grab anything but the Zagg shields in stores. I might go check out one of the cheap kiosk vendors in the middle of the mall to see if they have any focus cases.
[Focus Accessories] Crazy Canuck:
If you're still looking, the Ghost Armor kiosk is at Chinook on the main level. It's basically located right outside the Telus, Rogers, and Bell stores :)

Just noticed you were in Calgary, and thought I'd help.
[Focus Accessories] Omega Ra:
I would recommend Zagg invisible shield. I have had them on my past 3 smartphones. they are awesome.
[Focus Accessories] sensboston:
As for screen protectors, I've bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IMV3PM

Works super fine for me; really invisible, hides light scratches, touch as is original (unprotected) screen. Price is unbeatable too.

P.S. To get installed without bubbles, just precisely follow the installation manual (don't use screen cleaners etc.) BTW, u'll have 5 of them - more than enough to practice :-)

Anti Glare screen protector

Personally I'm using a screen protector I bought from eBay, and I'm actually happy with it.

Anti Glare Screen Protector for Samsung Focus i917 (bought from here - please note no affiliation whatsoever except I bought one)

Here's the description:

This Screen Portector have a effect that make it hard to leave fingerprint on the screen, 90% less fingerprint than the normal screen protector. It is also very easy to clean since is oil resistance. The Anit-Glare effect makes viewing less stressful and sharper image under day light and bright lighting.

Some people might not like it as the surface is just a bit less smoother than a regular screen protector (but that's exactly because of the oleophobic surface), but overall it does have 90% less fingerprints (which I happen to love) and anti glare. Transparency and clarity are excellent.

I can make some photos if there's interest.

I also have a body case but I gave up using it, as it makes the phone bulkier (although it's extremely light). If the back gets scratched I'll just buy another back cover.
[Focus Accessories] hx4700 Killer:
I have used MANY types of protectors over the last 7 years and used to opt for the "static" ultra clear type PET protectors. I had to wait for a while on my last phone to get a replacement so I used the one I had from Invisible Gadget Guard and was shocked at how clear it was and never even put on the ones I bought.

When I bought the focus I listened to all the HYPE over ZAGG and spent the money on their product. I was immediately dissapointed with the "Orange Peel" effect. I saw someone on here say if it is installed correctly there is no "orange peel" look. B.S. It was RIDICULOUS.

I turned around and ordered an invisible gadget guard full body protector for the focus and havent looked back. The side protectors may seem to be a bit silly but they do fit well around the buttons. The screen looks FAR better in sunlight than the zagg hands down.
[Focus Accessories] RGBell:
VShield skins

I have tried several different screen protectors for my Focus and have been disappointed by most of them. The Zagg and Skinomi skins were too soft and were easily damaged and dented while being stored in my leather soft lined case. The dents refracted light and were very distracting. The Skinomi skin continued to have small bubbles weeks after installation that I could never get rid of. Both of these skins felt somewhat tacky and I could feel some drag when sliding up and down the screen. They both had a bit of orange peel finish to them that I did not like. The soft material seemed to easily scratch and haze after normal cleaning with a soft cloth.

I decided to try some extremely inexpensive skins from VShield. I got 5 skins for $2.08 plus $1.49 shipping. They are dry skins with a protective cover on both sides. You peel off the back side, place it on the screen and then remove the cover from the other side. It was fairly easy to install. It would be nice to have a clean room for eliminating dust during installation. I had a few dust particles that landed on the screen. I was able to lift the skin and remove the dust with a piece of tape. It fits perfectly. I have no bubbles. It is a harder plastic and does not dent. It is very clear and is barely noticable. I put one on my wife's Focus and she didn't even know it was there. I highly recommend these skins. I got them from Amazon for a total of only $3.57 for 5 skins. The other skins were 4 to 5 times that much for only one skin. Apparently, "You get what you pay for" doesn't always apply.

[Focus Accessories] SuperSport:
Using your link, I just got 5 for $3.01. I'm interested in getting a smoother finish to see how it feels. I know the iPhone has a super smooth strong plastic cover that my wife uses, and I'm hoping this is the same material because I really like the feel of hers.
[Focus Accessories] telhunter:
I'm using an invisible shield and i don't really care for it. i have more glare from it and the edges peel up and catch lint. worse use of twenty bucks ever.:(
[Focus Accessories] minori_aoi:
I had Skinomi too on my old Droid. I also got that bubbles problem, and the supposed to be "military grade" protector scratched easily.
[Focus Accessories] wildbilll:
I have been running for over 6 months now with no screen protector. The display is scratch free. I don't see the need for it.
[Focus Accessories] EnderPsp:
The screen is Gorilla Glass and even if it's very tough, it can still scratch. Durity of metal (Mohs hardness scale) is at maximum 6.5 (usually, common metals 4-5) while glass/quartz is about 7. That's why Gorilla Glass resists scratching to coins, knives, screwdrivers, cutters, keys etc. However, porcelain, glass, sand, have the same durity as Gorilla Glass. And these will scratch the screen.

Not funny that a sharp knife, scissorts etc can't scratch the screen but a tiny sand particle can, but it's a fact. Keep in mind that you might end up accidentally with dust/sand on the screen and then wonder how did that scratch happen...

And that's exactly why it's important to have a screen protector. Your call, however.
[Focus Accessories] vulcan4d:
Yeah I had Gorilla glass phones before and always put the phone in my pocket with my keys and it didn't scratch, guess keys aren't too sharp but my GF had the same phone and got scratches on it from keeping it inside her purse. God knows what those GF's keep in there lol :p
[Focus Accessories] aFaridun:
Mate screen protectors looks awesome in apple products. But i don't know is there any mate SP for Focus
[Focus Accessories] EnderPsp:
Search for "samsung focus anti-glare screen protector" on eBay :)

I'm using one for like 1 year. Most say it reduce fingerprints by 90% and that is correct. I have one like this (and I don't live in States so no advertising :))
[Focus Accessories] wheelmanforhire:
I'd worry about knives.

2 years running my Focus sans screen protection and it has ONE scratch. I have (accidentally) dropped it, kicked it, had it in in pockets with keys (even my gun once) put it face down every night on my nightstand. The scratch came only when it fell and slid on asphalt.
[Focus Accessories] jasonvelocity:
I had the Skinomi installed on my ASUS tablet, and it looked good. I thought I would try it on my Focus and SG2, but it just never looked as good. I have had it on since March 2012 without issues, but aesthetically it does not compare.

It's indeed faster, but as of now, quite hard to use for me as the fonts are too small, even when I double-tap to zoom in. The previous version was ok.

Guess I'll just wait for the one-finger zoom support then.

Go to Settings and set the zoom level to a level that suits you (140% is what I use).

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] metcard:
This is a very good browser.

It's a bit like Safari on the iphone in that when you scroll down too fast you get checkerboards but it saves ram memory so pages scroll super smooth, even smoother than opera mini.

I had issues with every other android browser where some pages would scroll quite jerky but OM has been smooth on every page I've visited.

160% Zoom seems to work for me, very easy to click on links and not too big that it makes browsing pages a chore.

does anyone know what Opera turbo does? I assume it compresses images possibly?

A better solution to Zoom is:

Set Zoom to 100% and set minimum font size to something like 18. Default is 9 - Works brilliant.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwapro:
I don't have the white one, but have thought about getting it, as the white part is a hard plastic finish. I am worried about the paint on the red one that I got peeling off, which would be the case with the other colors too, except for the white. You know how that black finish use to peel off after use?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
i dont think the rubber on the rest of the phones matter really. i just got back from tmobile and its not a big difference at all. i can barely tell a difference. i will stick with my white one. to bad my tmobile internet sucks really bad in my area. we can barley get 500kbps at best its really sad
