I like it too. I do wish it covered those capacitive buttons too, though.

thats the main reason I dont buy it from T-mobile.

I wonder if they gave you different ones. The one I had was anti-smear. It made the screen look pixelated. What does your packaging say?

Well, I just called t-mobile, as expected, they won't take back the screen protector since I used one. I don't know how you intend to get a refund after using it. I'm getting reading to rip this protector off now as it does make the screen look like shit. So once again, anyone want to tell me what screen protector I should buy? Any that keep the screen looking great without making it super rubbery (I read online that Ghost Armor have that flaw).

I just bouth this off ebay.

We'll see what comes.

I had a Steinheil one for my last phone and it wasn't significantly better than ebay ones I've gotten in the past.

I purchased the Tmobile screen protector for the Samsung Vibrant as well. When I got home, I tried to put it on and realized it didn't even cover the entire front of the phone...all of which is susceptible to possible scratches. I went back to the tmobile store and they refused to issue a refund because it was opened...i went on to demand a refund because I was unsatisfied with the product. It took about ten minutes of making the manager uncomfortable for him to make a "special exception" because I wouldn't take no for an answer. So, if you're willing to make a small scene to get your money back...it will work.

But, I am still in the market for a screen protector. Ive been calling Best Buy every few days to see if they have them yet, but each time they say they dont know when they will. I am also a bit hesitant to order the Invisible Sheild from the Zagg website, because of it possibly being too thick for the bottom touch sensitive buttons on the phone. Has any one purchased this screen protector?

This 3 pieces of "protectors" r just pieces of shit. They r even thinner than the original plastic thing.
And they r not exactly fit at all.
I want a dry screen protector, any suggestion?

Im still using the one that came with the phone. I don't know how much protection it offers but it works for me.

I wasn't looking for an apology.

No need to apologize... People that get offended by something like that need to relax and get over themselves.

People like you don't understand at all. Btw, I was relaxed or do I always have to use an emoticon?

<----there, better?

It's too late, but people on xda said that one is bad.

update: I was looking for a screen protector and got GHOST ARMOR installed on my phone, and I love it! The texture feels even better than the real screen, and its so smooth and clear that you cant even tell its on and there are no air bubbles. I am very satisfied with this screen protector and soooo glad I returned the crap tmobile one.

Is it a dry one or wet applied one?

i hate clearfreak!! i ordered one, and i tried to put it on, and it just sucks..

the one from tmo is worse.. it gave my screen this rainbowish effect.. LOL

but tmo store has another type of screen protector , the one that you can cut to shape, it looks nice and no discoloring effects whatsoever, except that it doesnt cover the whole screen or the capacitive buttons..

edited* the trim to fit screen protector from tmo is horrrrrible!! LOL

now im back using clearfreak, it's better than the ones from tmo after all..

I HAVE USED zagg w/every phone, i now have a full body on my vibrant and it is smear proof, and comes with a warrantybought it at sams club for 15 dollars less than online thru zagg itself. i will use zagg as long as they sell them you will not scratch your phone at all.

The Vibrant's screen is not very prone to damage. The first day I got it I dropped in twice face first onto concrete. Needless to say, the screen has no scratches or damage.

If you're looking for a screen protector check out the Realook. You can search on that name in this forum and XDA, as well as read the Amazon reviews.

It's only about $10 for two. About as close to the naked glass as you can get. Visually I can't tell it's there. Dry application so no water danger. Takes a bit of care to apply, but well worth the effort. It's not fingerprint resistant, but neither is the glass, and the swipe feel and touch sensitivity is excellent. And the customer support is terrific.

Read other reviews as well. Definitely worth considering.

I bought a reallook protector on ebay it it's pretty good.
Gorilla Glass probably does not need it but I dont feel so guilty when I put my keys in the same pocket as my phone.

Accessories UGH! I hate the screen protector from Tmob!
