Liquid Screen Protectors

What's the best liquid screen protector out there in your opinion and why?

I would like one that prevents the screen on a Lumia 1020 getting ANY scratches.

A user on here, Bambino, has been using a liquid screen protector as detailed here:

@Bambino, over to you for another review!

I'm using one called Liquid Armor, which you can find on Amazon. So far it seems to be doing the job well. I haven't noticed any scratches since applying it about two weeks ago, but I'm reasonably careful with my phone anyway.

The one I bought came with four individual sachets. These have the liquid in them and an applicator. You just put the liquid on, spread it over the screen and let it sit for ten minutes. You can then buff the screen with the included microfiber cloth. I actually didn't buff it for 24 hours to let it 'cure', which is suggested in the instructions.

I don't think you can guarantee that it will prevent ANY scratch, as the OP has asked, but this one is doing a good job as far as I can tell. It hasn't affected the touch sensitivity of the screen either. You're meant to use one sachet every six months, so theoretically this purchase should last two years.

Hope this helps.

I'm curious how much screen protectors actually protect phones like the Lumia 1020.

The 1020 has Gorilla Glass 3, so I'd be interested to know if people get many screen scratches when they don't use a protector?

It really depends on how hard you are on your phone, and if you trust Gorilla Glass to prevent all scratches. The technology isn't perfected as yet, and although it's pretty good, are you really certain it's going to do the job without any other protection? I have a Motorola Razr HD and it has Gorilla Glass, but it did pick up a small hairline scratch along the way. I haven't had any other scratches since using the liquid protector I'm using now.

The Lumia 1020 has Gorilla Glass 3 - I'm not sure if that's any better than the Gorilla Glass 2 on my 920 though. So far (touch wood), I've not had any scratches on the screen, but I have some minor ones on the body.

Can you put these liquid protectors on the phone body, or are they purely for the screen?

Yes you can put them on the phone the instructions tell you to just obviously be careful around ports

Is this what you are using? http://amzn.to/1ioX5t8

Also what's the difference between the Dynaflo one you use and the Crystalusion Liquid Glass Protection http://amzn.to/1euGIKX ?

I appreciate your response but need to know what the difference is between the 2 brands. Other than price.

It wouldn't surprise me if there isn't much difference at all, but I couldn't say for certain as I haven't tried the other product. I'm not even sure you can find out what the main component of the liquid is. They might very well be exactly the same. Neither is overly expensive, so you're just going to have to take a punt and try one.
