Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 

Well, I am another victim of screen water damage from the water/soap solution!!

I *did not* apply the solution directly to the phone, only to the back of the protector and to my fingers. As I squeegeed the water I soaked it up in the corners with a shammy towel.

Ugh... :(

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 

So what happened to your EVO? I've done the water/soap solution 4 times on previous phones and never had trouble. Don't know how I avoided water from seeping into the corners now that I think about it :scratch:

Maybe there are some dust during the installment....

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 

So, my mom just got her "wave 2" EVO from best buy yesterday and brought it over for me to tweak...I noticed a screen protector on her phone. She said yeah, I had them just put one on before I left. I asked her if it was a Zagg and she confirmed. I hated it. Very rubbery, tacky, finger sticks while scrolling then the phone thinks that you clicked something and you have to go back...pain in the ass...I had he try my Clearfreak. She was like WOW that is really smooth no problem at all. Also the lady at best buy told her that the Zagg would smooth out over the next few days...any truth to this... I have never used Zagg before. My first experience with them is seeing one on her phone.

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 

Got my Evo yesterday and put on a full body phantom skinz first thing. Here's my 2 cents:

1) Pretty much a thinner slightly smoother zagg/bse
2) Minimal orange peel effect (have to view at an angle to see it)
3) Less tacky
4) Nicely cut, almost perfect (perfect because it gives you a little wiggle room for installation)

I would definitely recommend this over a zagg. But ultimately it's too similar for me to stick with it. Even though the PS is less tacky, you still get a bit of resistance when you glide your fingers. If you press harder you can feel the gummy feeling. Personally I prefer a hard dry application screen protector. It just feels more like a the hard slickness of glass. As for the body skin, I didn't use the side protectors as they always seem to make the phone cheap looking with the discontinuous corners (especially over time). The back is cut precisely and does the job. However it did slip my mind that the whole back is a door which seems easily replaceable so a protector may not be necessary.

Anyone use the one from Sprint? I bought it because you get 20% off when you buy items?

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 

blockburner check a few pages back.someone posted pictures of the sprint anti glare. I picked up the Sprint ones. Didn't realize they only cover the screen rather than the whole face of the evo? Doh!

On a side note, I polished the phantom skin with some car polish and it made it pretty slick. Much better now but I don't think it'll last too long?

I also bought the phantom skin kit but I bought the matte finish one. I'm pretty happy with it overall, much better than zagg. They send me 2 full sets in matte also 2 regular clear pieces for just the screen. Quality of the pieces are pretty good, no glue on the front of them as others have said. The matte looks and feels really nice on the phone just not on the screen...it gives a lot of distortion makes the screen look dull and fuzzy. I just took it off and put the clear one on today and I love it so far.

If u're getting phantom be sure to use that summersale2010 code to get ur 30% off, mine came out to be around $17 and I also paid for priority shipping. They screwed me on shipping cus priority is $5 more and they didn't ship priority. The envelope says first class and the amount was for $.61!

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 

I went with the max protect zagg kit. Covers the back, sides, even the kickstand, yeah boy, sides were a little toigh to work with but they feel good now. i am not a case guy, but gotta protect this monster. I feel much better now about the sides with the zagg shield. Looks and feels great. Anyone else go with this option?
