Best scratch guard for Lumia 928?

[Killer BIGxyz]

forreal! they make one for the galaxies and they also have curved glass, i dunno why they cant just curve their glass protectors too lol

 

[hopmedic]

Also, the ones the Verizon store had on release date aren't bad either. They do have a very slippery touch to them and your finger slides very well across it, you get 3 for $13.

I agree. Don't forget to mention if you have a discount on your account for 25% off of that $13, too. :wink:

There is a common misconception that Gorilla Glass prevents all scratches and abrasions. This is not the case and never has been. Gorilla Glass just makes the the glass more scratch resistant. If you keep your unprotected phone in your pocket with your keys, for instance, eventually scratches will occur.

I installed one of these ArmorSuit Protectors on my wife's 8X and she really likes it. It may be good for the 928.

 

[jlzimmerman]

Yeah, you would think. I have a few hairline scratches on mine that drive me crazy. My iP5 screen is still flawless after 9 months. This one not so much after 2 weeks.

Could that be because when face down, the Nokia is resting on its glass where the iPhone is resting on its bezel?

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, but I did order a protector from SkinPea. It seems to be very good from the reviews. I may just get one of those belt holsters instead but we shall see.

Two recommendations seems good to me, enough to check it out at least. I have no problem giving it a go!

Question: is there such thing as a protector with oleophobic coating?

Once upon a time I got "SGP Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime Screen Protector Steinheil Series [Ultra Oleophobic]" for my nexus. They were pretty good, and were markedly better than the standard Verizon screen protectors.

I'll keep an eye out for a similar thing for the Lumia. Or those glass ones if they can figure out how to curve them.... Haha

I've used the SPG screen protectors on various phones and they are very good. Currently using the Verizon ones right now. They're decent enough, just no oleophobic coating. And at $15 for a 3 pack, inexpensive.

Do the Verizon ones cover the whole screen including bezel or just the AMOLED viewable area?

Just the viewing area.

Thanks--anyone know of a good one that covers the entire glass face, or do the contours of the surface make that impossible?

I really disliked gummy/tacky feel of the Zagg Invisible Shield on the screen. But, it was perfect for me as a protective layer for the sides and back. I found the naked polycarbonate a little too slippery, and after a few drops in the parking lot and a few small scuffs I decided I needed something. If you're dead set against putting anything on the phone, I guess that's that; but I thought the little bit of protection and the improved grip were well worth it. Here's a pic after five months of daily use:

where did you find a protector for the back

 

[Chris_Kez]

Just to be clear, I have a 920. If you do too, then the details below will be helpful. AFAIK, Zagg does not yet offer anything for the 928.

I purchased the Zagg invisibleSHIELD Full Body directly from Zagg for about $25, I think. I only used the back portion, but you can't buy it separately. They also offered a Max Protect version that included little strips for the top and bottom. Don't be confused by Zagg's parenthetical descriptions; when they say "front and back" they actually mean front/back/sides, and when they say"front, back and sides" they actually mean front/back/sides/top/bottom.

Anyway, you can order from Zagg or from Amazon:

I use the ones from Verizon and they seem to work well. I also used the Skinomi and didn't like the rubbery feel to the screen. I am a fan of the SPG Spigen versions but couldn't wait for them to come out. I am surprised how nice the VZW version one is. Smooth and easy to apply.

 

[Berkley Todd]

I really really love Skinomi cases. Some people say they feel to "rubbery", and it definitely is less smooth than the screen, but visually I rarely notice it. It also covers the WHOLE screen, not just the viewing area. I would definitely recommend Skinomi.

 

[Chris_Kez]

I am a fan of the SPG Spigen versions but couldn't wait for them to come out.

I got either an email or tweet last week from Spigen saying they had no plans to offer a product for the 920. I would assume the same applies to the 928 and 925, unless they are massive hits.

 

[GrabMyWrist]

I ordered the SkinPea protector. Just waiting for it to ship.

I've always used zagg screen protectors on my phones even though they are a bit tacky, they last the life of the phone (they will replace them for free if something should happen to it). I recently tried the newer HD version on my kindle and it's super slick, almost as good as the glass. I'm hoping they offer an HD version for the 928. They currently only have the standard one for the 822.

I have a skinomi from amazon and its amazing. It doesn't have a gummy feel or anything and when I put it on I couldn't tell the difference between my actual gorilla glass and the skinomi screen protector. I got it for $9 lol

 

[dakranii]

I am seriously impressed with the ArmorSuit one I picked up on Amazon. I decided to spring for a more expensive one this time around, thinking it would be better. It's night and day better than the one I used for my 822, which I was perfectly happy with. This thing is amazing. Covers the whole screen. The instructions told me that any remaining defects after installation would disappear in 24-48 hours. I didn't believe it, but they did. Looks perfect. It has a very slightly "gummy" feel to it, but not much, mostly feels like the original glass. I've never held loyalty to a screen protector company before, but I'll stick with this brand from now on.
