Not at all. There's already people with scratches on their evos. These kinds of tests are run on every device with a glass screen. Yes they are scratch resistant. But not scratch proof.

I tried the invisibleshield and it was to sticky. I now have the xoskins. It is nice and smooth. But I messed up the instal. For $2.50 I ordered two of the ebay ones you posted. It is cheaper two buy two of those than paying shipping for a replacement xoskin.

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 
Which protector has the most resistance to fingerprints? The way the screen picks them up is really annoying. I am not interested in Zagg Invisible shield, I don't like like the texture of them. There has to be a slick protector that doesn't show smudges.

Just got a steinheil crystal clear. I like it quite a bit. Its quite smooth, no significant tackyness once it's used for a few moments. Very clear. It reduces glare just a teeny bit, enough to be usable in strong sunlight. Nice cut, doesn't interfere with the front cam that I can see though it does cover it. It is slightly smaller than the phone itself just enough to make installation easier, but gets completely covered by the body glove case I have around it. Installation is dry, and extremely easy but I recommend using disposable wipes to clean the phone first. I have some pec pads lying around from camera work, and that plus a bit of methanol shines up the screen perfectly for application. First application shows no dust, no bubbles. Great!

I love the Zagg covers. I've had about 12 or so over the years so I know how to install them, but when I installed it on my BRAND NEW Evo - the same installation instructions I've always used caused the spray-on to get into the screen and fried it.
$100 deductible from asurion to replace my new $299. phone! Ugh!

Just got a Ghost Armor applied (there's actually a kiosk at the mall near me) I went from liking how the phone looks to loving it. I got the whole phone covered and the back looks real nice with the high gloss of the protector.

Ok after trying every screen protector that I could really find...

phantomskinz, ZAGG, Clearfreak, Ghost, Ghetto Ebay ones.... the very best ones IMO are Clarivue. I've got 2 of every flavor they make, clear, privacy, mirror, and anti-glare.

I'm running the clear one right now, and its perfect. Not 1 bubble, speck of dust..notta.

Installation is a dry type (static cling). Included with each protector is a wet nap type thing to clean your screen off.

I'm very impressed and probably won't even try any other ones. I've wasted like $50 on cycling thru the multiple manufactures. Clarivue is where its at.

I just got my EVO on friday and got the zagg invisible shield put on right after. I was at Bestbuy and the lady hooked it up by giving me 20% off the shield. Try your luck there for a better price (I paid around $17)

Although I do have to admit that the shield is not super smooth when you want to slide your finger on the screen, the shield does protect the phone really well. I would recommend this shield to anyone who has an EVO, iphone, ipad, driod.. etc

All I can say is WOW! Clarivue is by far the best!!!!
It was by far the easiest screen protector I've ever installed. I ordered the ultra clear version. There was no need for soapy water at all like some of the others. I hate that. Only had one spec of dirt which caused a bubble. I used some scotch tape to get the dust and voila bubble gone. The surface is ultra smooth, it feels and looks like I'm using the phone without a screen protector. I've used the Zagg version and took it right off cause the screen had a grippy feel when swiping or moving around. This is by far a perfect screen protector. Off to order the matte version to see how well it hides fingerprints.

The cameras and sensors have cutouts... Theu aren't little holes, the top of the protector is notched ( but it looks good! ). I lent my digital camera out so I cannot take pictures... I suppose I can use my webcam... I'll put a picture up in a little while.

I ordered myself a pack of the clear and anti-glare clarivue, put on a anti-glare and i love it. even though it's a matte texture, my finger glides so much better than on the Zagg shield i was using from BestBuy. The anti-glare works great, screen clarity is amazing too.

Mayonesa 07-19-2010 08:46 PM

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 
i got the privacy today and i already put it on... it went on nice.. it doesnt block a whole lot but its ok, i dont mind it.. it looks a lot like the anti-fingerprint i had on.


ill see if i can take some pics.

What you guys think? Looks pretty good to me. I ordered a Phantomskinz screen protector and the black carbon fiber chromatics case. Both are coming Monday and I'll post pics.

if the one off discount codes for zagg stop working you can try a repeatable coupon like ZAGG20 or this list of discount codes for zagg.

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread

This site is giving away free screen protectors. Just pay like $2.50 or something in shipping and it is a full body protector. I took the chance after reading it in another thread AND another site (XDA). Worked well on my phone, worth a shot for a few bucks.

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 
I too would like to see a scratch test with a lot of the popular brands. I am using the Zagg on my Evo and I'm happy because it just doesnt scratch. I used a Clear Protector on my TP2 and while it had a somewhat mushy feel to it, it still looked new when I sold my TP2. It had been on there since day one of my TP2 and I ordered the TP2 through Verizon's telesales at 7am the first morning they were available....My experience has been that if they have a hard feel(like nothing is there) then they scratch fairly easily. Then the ones that have a softer feel are the ones that take abuse and never show the first scratch or mark on them...

Re: EVO Screen Protectors Thread
 
So I've now tried 5 different screen protectors. 4 from random Ebay sellers and 1 from Sprint.

I've found the one from Sprint to be the best so far (minus the fact that it doesn't cover the whole screen, but its the most natural and doesn't make swiping my finger unnatural on the screen.

The problem I'm finding with the full screen ones from Ebay is either they are way to rubbery or don't fit, I could try 100+ times to align them correctly but there always seems to be an air bubble gab in 1 of the corners.

I really wish someone could point me one that is an easy to use as the Sprint one but takes up the full screen perfectly.

5 for 2 bucks from Ebay.

I have to say it was pain to get it right (I didn't get it right though lol), since the protector was exact size of the damn screen or perhaps slightly longer, or just plain bad cut that's impossible to fit, but I have to say I like how it looks and feels on my Evo. (You can tell it's not fitting perfectly on the bottom side, but I will live with it!)

On the side note, I also got front/back for Iphone 4 from same seller, and it fits perfectly... so I guess it's a luck of a draw as far as how it fits goes.
