Has anyone purchased and used the screen protectors from Verizon?  I got them yesterday, but I want to mak sure that if I do not like them on the screen, thta I can take them off and there will be no sticky residue left behind.

I've heard nothing but good things about the verizon screens, but in all honesty if you want to really protect your phone then go with zagg or skinomi. Best ones out there. I have a skinomi full body shield on mine right now and I love it.

I purchased them but I'm not sure how much I like them.  They have these red dash marks (that's the best description that I could give) going around the outer edge of the protector.  Also, when I put them on, the little tab that comes off of the front of the protector left some paper and glue residue.  It wasn't hard to get off.

The red lines are on the thin sheet of plastic on top of protector.  If you still have red lines, you didn;t remove the top layer.  These protectors are great now that they are anti-glare.

I was thinking the same thing.  If your still seeing the red dashes, you didnt install it correctly.  Those are there just so its easier to line up the protector.

Hehe - yes, if you still have red lines once on the phone, you missed step 2 - take the top protective layer off.

:smileywink:

 

Now, in my pack of three - some had a #1 and #2 pull tab to indicate to remove it and to allow you to pull it off using the tab - very simple.  However, one of mine was missing a tab.  Had to pull the protective covering off manually - not so simple.

Bought and applied.  I wouldn't use a touch screen without one.

I got them and other than being a little on the "dull" as opposed to glossy, I have no problem with them. They are a must for any smartphone user.

The sales lady offered them to me but called them Glare Protectors.  I opted to get a pack of them. She told me that it would help avoid the glare you see on the screen during the daytime and outdoors.  She applied the cover for me while she was setting up the phone.  She did a great job applying it and it looks like it was factory applied.  If you are afraid you may not be able to apply it very well, your local provider might apply it for you like mine did.

I like the covers.  Takes a little patience to get it on precisely but well worth it.  They help reduce the dreaded fingerprint smudges nicely.  Just make sure you have a very clean screen prior to sticking it on.  Any dust or debris will definitely show up beneath it.  Dust and debris will also stick to the back side of the protector when putting it on if you're not careful.

 

Now I just wonder how long they will last and what will happen to it that indicates it should be replaced.

I got the protection plan. I hate those things it does fine. It gets to bad I will go down and tell them to replace it. Kind of the reason for paying the extra money in my opinion.

$10 screen protectors, or swap out your phone when scratched for a $100 deductible.....   I'll take the $10 screen protectors.

OMG, thanks for the tip.  I was able to peel off that extra layer of the protector.  Now my screen is more responsive.  Awesome!

I have been using PhantomSkinz on my last few phones, they have some very cool Chromatic ones for the Droid X that not only protect the whole phone but you can give  a bright color or make it look like carbon fiber without using a case.  They take time to install, but they also offer a free service to install them for you, something I may take advantage of with my X when it gets here later today.

Zagg is the way to go. They have a great guarantee and even have kiosks in malls that put them on your device for you. Or you can order them on line. I have put them on all of our phones, Ipods,  and my kids DS. They are awesome. Invisishield by Zagg. You won't be disappointed!!!!
