Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

SGP has quite an excellent reputation for their Steinheil screen protectors among the iPhone fans. Now they have both of their varieties (crystal and anti-fingerprint) available for the TP2 on all of the carriers.

Is anyone using the SGP crystal or anti-fingerprint? Please post your impressions of the following:

1. Clarity
2. Fit-does it cover the entire screen all the way down to the left and right corners near the buttons?
3. Durability

Remember to state which type of protector you are commenting on.

Thanks!

Well seeing as no one responded and I know how highly regarded these are with the iPhone users, I set out to answer my questions above myself.

I ordered both a set of the crystal and the anti-fingerprint protectors last week. I got both figuring I'd try the anti-fingerprint and if I didn't like it I would just slap a crystal on. I put an anti-fingerprint one on my phone and love it! Fantastic fit and they COMPLETELY eliminate fingerprints, I mean they are gone! Only negative is that they add a sort of frosted look to the screen which makes it look a touch less sharp. But I am already used to it and loving the fingerprint free screen. Also unlike some other reports I have been reading on here about another premium protector, these are cut very nice and there is no peeling occurring on the edges. To top it all off you get 2 for $10.99 or $11.99 depending on which version you order. Finally after being on my phone a week there are no scratches or any other damage, they seem very durable.

how does your finger slide across this brand. some give it a sort of rubbery feel that won't let your finger glide over the screen. if it works as good as the HTC supplied protector , I'll try it

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

I am currently using the anti-fingerprint version and I find that it introduces a sort of slightly rough texture to the screen. It's very subtle and I can glide my fingers across it without any issues. I actually like the way the anti-fingerprint film feels, and as I said absolutely love what it does to eliminate fingerprints and smudges.

does the frost make it less visible outdoors...I ask cuzz i got a dumb mirror 1 that makes it really hard 2 see outdoors.

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

Not in my experience, but then I never used it much outdoors to begin with.

Hope you like it, I LOVE mine.

i got mine last week. I had the original one that came in the box, then tried the phantomskinz (didn't fit correctly) then went out and bought some from ATT (tilt 2) and it worked okay. Found this post after getting tired/irritated with all the finger prints.

The cut is a little off but just by mm so it isn't too bad, I'll take it being off than having all the finger prints.....I love it so far.

:scratch: Screen protectors? Armor coatings? :scratch: I used them with my PDA years ago, it was a pain. I swore I never would again. Never used one with my TP and doubt very much I will use them on the TP2. What do you use as a stylus? 8 penny nails? :evil4: There are no scratches on my 1 year old TP so I will probably not worry too much about it. I mean stop to think about it, they make these "touch screens" to be touched. You would think they would make them resistant to normal wear and tear. And maybe a few drops. I know I have dropped the TP several times. I do keep a skin on it to help from damaging it when I do that. It also adds a little dept to the screen so when I put it face down on the desk to put it on speaker-phone use, nothing on the desk will scratch it. But I keep good care of it. After all, if I break or loose it, it will cost me $50 to replace it.

I have been using the antifingerprint screen, and by far these are the best ones I have seen or used( I have tried 6 different types). They slide motion is fluid with no stickiness on the finger, They application is by far the easiest out there. No bubbles and less than 30 seconds to apply. You do not need any water or tricks to get this done. As with any screen protector , you definitely need to make sure the screen is 100 percent lint free. And the cut is just a touch smaller than the screen . I point out after using and trying many, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT on this phone. If it is not cut a shade smaller than the screen, the sides or corners will snag easily due to the flush nature of the screen with the casing on the phone. Having the protector just a touch smaller keeps it from doing this . Once you snag a corner or side, the protectors bend and get lint and you will find them bothersome and ugly. The stock screen protector is a perfect example. It is cut perfectly to the screen but the bottom will eventually catch on something because if put on just right , it goes right to the very edge of the screen . As far as the visibility , since it is a matte finish, I definitely turn my backlighting up to make sure it's nice and crisp. It does have somewhat of an antiglare effect, but I would say that in sunlight , it is not quite as
good as a stock protector. I think the difference is minimal, though , and has no downside . These are great protectors. I can also say there is another one very similar at half the price but I was unable to find the link , However, the price on the SGP's is more than reasonable and these should last quite a while. 4.75 stars out of 5 if this were a star rating system.

Put on my Crystal yesterday and I can also attest to the quality of the protector. No water necessary but i did apply it in the bathroom with the shower on HOT for the steam to knock down any dust. Clean the screen with alcohol wipe and let dry, then wipe with microfiber cloth included with screen protectors.

I was a little pissed off last night because I thought it had a wrinkle and it scratched really easily but then I realized this AM that there was an OUTER layer of protective plastic on the actual screen protector. Once I removed that I realized why they call it crystal...

FANTASTIC PRODUCT, You cannot go wrong. Shipping was very fast also!

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

I can also vouch for the crystal version. Scratch resistant, thinner than other protectors so it doesn't feel like there's something in the way. Does not feel sticky or make swiping difficult.

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

oh my god.... i want to kill myself trying to put these mother****ers on. i'm so pissed right now still. i bought 2 sets and can't get any of them on correctly. i ****ed them up 4 times, and when you try to take a skin off lint gets stuck onto the sticky side of the shield.

any ideas how to get lint/dust off of that sticky side? this is ridiculous. every single time there will be a small piece of lint or dirt and i can't take it and need it to be perfect. its near impossible to get one of those on completely perfect

so now i have 4 shields but can't get one on correctly because each one has small pieces of dust or whatever on the sticky side of the shield. any ideas how to get this off? dropping it in water doesn't work...as much as i try to wipe it off that doesn't work. i'm at a loss and going insane.

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

try using a piece of clear scotch tape to get the lint or fuzz off. If that does not work, take some liquid dishwashing soap ( like dawn or Joy) and clean it under running water with your fingers , then let air dry(in lint free area) before placing back on,

These are generally about the easiest protectors to put on a TP2 so I am not sure why you are having so much difficulty.They are one of the few that usually go on bubble free on the first application and do not usually require any tricks. If you still have issues, you may try placing a SMALL amount of water on the screen before placing the protector on, but do so at your own risk, There is a very good instruction technique listed somewhere in the TP2 forums on how to do this. Good Luck

shipping is $2.50ish!

that's a huge discount when the original method cost $22 and change!

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

i have armor shield on whole phone and had it done for me for a total cost of 18$ love it have never had any issues at ALL BEEN ON MY TP2 SINCE EARLY NOV.

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

Well, I broke down and decided to waste another $10+ so I bought the crystal ones. I don't worry about fingerprints too much, and don't want anything but "truelife" on my screen, no frost or stuff. Well it came in and I followed the directions. Looks great, can't even tell it's on there. I did do another screen alignment when I installed it to make sure that it would be as sensitive. Don't notice a thing different, it's like it isn't even there. Thanks for the link... :headbang:

armor shield on the screen doesn't hold a candle to the awesome steinheil screen protectors (I have used both)

Re: Anyone using the SGP Steinheil screen protectors on their Sprint TP2?
 

I'm also using the Crystal Clear ones (tried the anti-fingerprint but didn't like the clarity) and switched over. I've had people pick up my phone just to see it and they can't even tell there is a protector on it.
