Yea, I won't be getting one of those, lol. I have experience with vinyl decals and most times when it is put on an image with a texture, it doesn't last and the sides start to come up and it ruins it plus these rip very easily. They are a lot thinner then the Zagg etc. skins. I had these on my old Motorola Razr and it just ripped and pieces would come up that would attract dirt and lint leaving it non-sticky. I guess that's why they give you more than one... maybe?
I think they might make the front of the phone look pretty sweet but they're pretty much useless since they're so thin. Just a decoration. I may buy a set of these just to see how they look and post pictures, though.

The ones that Verizon sells from the Verizon Wireless site suck hard. They're made by Xentris Wireless and they don't go on smoothly (you absolutely cannot avoid bubbles under the screen protector) and they scratch up really easily. Sure, the actual screen doesn't get messed up, but it looks like crap because the protectors aren't any more durable than the screen itself. Don't waste your money on 'em.

Wish this would have been posted about two days ago. I just got my verizon screen protectors today. I did finally get one on without any bubbles but I used all three protectors to do it. Was getting pretty nervous when I opened that third and last one up. Like I said I just put it on today so I don't know about the scratching issue. I ordered these when I updated my wife's phone to the reality.(she liked mine so she got one too) I ordered two cases from daydeal.com. The red one for me and the magenta one for the wife. http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=4567I also ordered the mirror screen protector. Thought it might look good with the red case. http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=36901Should be getting it in the next couple of days. Will post a quick review on the cases and the screen protector once I get them and try them out. |

I just got my screen protector and car charger today in the mail. I ordered this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120475521890&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:ITI have to say I am pretty disappointed in it. As I look at the image in the auction - it makes me think the protector is all one sheet but it isn't. I guess that's what the darker image around the picture is... It also doesn't fit the screen or buttons to the edges, there is a little space let between them all the way around. I found that issue to get annoying with attracting lint and whatnot... it does have the sensor cut-outs though, which is a plus! Another thing is it's way less tacky than the Zagg shield! I am waiting a fay for it to dry completely to see if I like it enough or not, lol. The package it was in had a website: www.gadgetguard.com |

I will :-) I do know I will be getting a new protector but this one will work until then. I just have an issue with it not going to the outside all the way around and not protecting the space in between the buttons and screen. I HATE lint, lol. See what I mean?  |

Just got the case and screen protector today. The case is amazing. I love it. It looks exactly like it does on the website.(hard to believe but true). It's plastic but almost has a rubber type feel. Hard to explain but feels good, doesn't get "stuck" in your pocket like some silicone cases. It's two pieces and snaps on easily. Very low profile. Doesn't make you feel like you have more phone in your pocket than without the case. The colors are really nice. Like I said above I got the red case and my wife got the magenta one. Even though I'm not really fond of pink the shades they have are really good. Reminds me of a paint job on an expensive car, if you look at it at different angles the colors change slightly. Looks darker on the sides and anywhere there are curves. Just a really nice case.
Now on to the screen protector. I'm going to need a little time with it on before I can decide if I like it.
The good: Went on super easy. After the disaster I had with the verizon screen protectors I almost felt this went on too easy. No air bubbles at all.The mirror works real well. A little distortion but not bad for a screen. Looks really slick on the phone especially with the red cover. (at least I think it does)
The bad: No cut out for the proximity sensor. Thought this was going to be a big problem. Didn't know how to cut it and still look good ( I'm kind of anal about it looking professional and not like I took a pair of scissors to it LOL) Finally figured it out. Since the case goes below the ear pierce and the sensor I just cut the screen protector straight across right above the case. This way when the case is on it looks perfect. If your not putting a case on your phone this might be a problem. Collects fingerprints and picks up any lint you have in your pocket. I think most screens probably do this but the mirror really magnifies it. Only have had it on for a few hours so don't know how prone it is to scratching. There is also a slight glare on the phone now. Not terrible but noticable. I'll try to post a picture in the next few days if I can. Hope this was helpful.

OK, it's official - I HATE my screen protector! The fact it doesn't cover the whole screen and buttons, leaving room for massive amounts of lint and letting the outside edges get filled in with dirt and whatnot. The whole purpose of a screen protector is well, to protect the screen... of course. This protects enough but not all. I also dislike the fact it isn't a one piece protector, covering all that's in front. I bought it here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120475521890&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:ITAnd here is the website: www.gadgetguard.com |

Silly me .... I bought the screen protectors that Verizon offered at the store. Got the first one on, bubble and dust free, and it fits perfectly. Side to side, corner to corner ... though I did have to work a bit to get the part around the ear piece to get in place (no bubble around it).
And I don't notice any cheapness or tacky feel. I've put more than a few of these on IPODS, PSPs, etc ... seems the same as they did and they've survived a few years w/out incident.
Seems to be OK after 10 days ... we'll see what time and several cross country flights do.

The screen protector doesn't seem to have a hole in it for the sensor. You may have to cut the hole yourself. Unless they just forgot to add it to the picture.
And I love that color orange!
