Screen protectors and image quality

I have a screen protector on my 3G and thinking about getting one for my iPhone 4. How you guys liking them so far? I am worried about it degrading the image quality of the new high res screen.
Tom

I've had every iPhone since it came out & I've never used a screen protector. I've never once ever had even the slightest tiny little scratch. That's not to say though that the screen on the ip4 will have the same luck bc I know it's not the same plus, in addition, I know the back is glass also & it's exposed due to the design of the bumper, which is my personal choice at this time.
I do wonder what the future will hold in reference to the other companies design for the new phone like Ncase, Griffith, Frogz, etc.??? They may come up with the clear plastic type snap on cases on different colors or variations of smoke colored to clear plastic. This way we can still see the phone, especially if you prefer the white if they ever start selling them, & it will be protected at the same time. Only problem is with those cases is u have to keep the touch pad exposed for use & you would still need a screen protector if this model does indeed scratch. Better than nothing though. I still wonder if it will scratch. I am HORRIBLE at putting on those screen protectors. No matter what I do I get bubbles etc. Used a credit card & started one end very slowly & it comes out looking ********. I KNOW that I NEVER had ANY scratched on my ip3Gs & the glass is the same as the iPad.

  • Will screen protector affect the quality of the front facing camera?

    I got my screen protector cut out and fitted on my phone in Hanoi very cheaply - looks great. However, they were not able to cut out the hole for the front facing camera as well as I would want it to look like (it was either to big or not round enough, etc). So I ended up with a screen protector covering my front facing camera.
    They said this will not affect the quality of the front facing camera. However, Lenovo S90 has a 8MP front facing camera, so I it's not like fitting a screen protector on a 5 year old nokia with VGA front camera. How much do you think this will affect the quality of the front facing camera? Unless I can compare 1:1 pics, its hard to say.
    I know the Lenovo original screen protector has a hole for the flash light, camera, and the sensor. So I wonder if anyone at Lenovo ever tested how does screen protector affect the quality of the camera? (Btw. I really do not see a need for a hole for the proximity sensor, it seems to work well with screen protector on it, so why bother?)
    P.S. I am currently in KL, JameZ, so I was wondering if Lenovo KL can do a screen protector for S90 and how much would that cost. My screen protector is actually so well done that you could not say there is a screen protector on the phone. I only worry about the quality of the front facing camera.  

    Welcome to Malaysia mate!
    I think the best place to get screen protectors in Malaysia (KL) would be Low Yat Plaza. At the 3rd floor, there are heaps of shops selling accessories.
    Separately, I use glass based protectors and they are do have holes for Proximity sensor, light sensor and front cam.
    I don't think the screen protector would affect the quality of the front cam but rather the light sensor.
    Also if the screen protector you use is clear, it should be fine. Take a selfie!

  • I took off my screen protector, and it left bubbles in the actual screen! How do I get rid of them?

    I put on the screen protector and noticed it had some bubbles so I peeled it back to fix it. Well, what I though was an air bubbles in the protector, was a bubble in the screen!! This WAS NOT there before. How do I get rid of the bubble that is in the iphone?
    Thanks!

    zinkiew,
    Why don't you go to the "Screen Protector Mfg" web site and see what they say about removing the residue mark. Most all S. P. sites have a section on how to clean the screen when you take the protector off.
    That said have you tried a damp soft cloth?
    You can also try a piece of "Scotch Tape"... press the sticky side of the tape on the bubble mark and then lift it off. You may have to do it several times to get it all.
    Their may be some solvents like alcohol that will remove the mark if it is glue residue from the protector. But make sure you check with Apple before you use any solvents. Some solvents may attack the Oleophobic coating on the iPhone screen.
    You can also Google for a solution to your problem. I have seen several "How to" articles to deal with the issue you are having.
    Just so you don't do something to make things worse I will repeat my caveat - Check with Apple before you use anything but a damp soft cloth.

  • Where can i buy iphone 6 plus tampered glass screen protector and waterproof casing

    where can i buy iphone 6 plus tampered glass screen protector and waterproof casing. how much is it and where can i get it.FROM SINGAPORE

    If you take a look at the Lifeproof fre and it's features, I don't think you should need a tempered glass screen.  I have found this case to be so perfect that the touch ID works better than it did directly on the iPhone 6 Gorilla Glass. 

  • I just got my macbook pro 3 months ago, when i got it at the authorised dealer store i ask them to put on a screen protector and there's a small crack on my screen. what should i do?

    i just got my macbook pro 3 months ago, when i got it at the authorised dealer store i ask them to put on a screen protector and there's a small crack on my screen. what should i do?

    When it gets bad enough, you will need to replace the screen.
    Your warranty covers defects in material and workmanship.
    That sounds like accidental damage -- glass does not tend to crack spontaneously.
    Check your homeowners insurance to see if there might be coverage.

  • PSP Screen Protector and Cases

    Hey, just letting everyone know, I have a black 60 gb 5g. I bought the PSP screen protector and cut it to size to only cover the screen. It works great and the screen still looks great. It has been a week now and i haven't noticed any visible scratches on the black finish, only smudges that are easily wiped clean. I find this in combination with the provived case an excellent solution until cases are released.
    On that note, anyone heard of the soonest cases that are being releasted?

    are you kidding?
    the 2 pelican screen protects i bought both were visibly altering the the pic/video on my PSP, you could tell you had a screen protector on it, totally got on my nerves...
    I tried several different ones and after reading TONS of reviews i bought the Martin Fields protector (they make screen protectors for everything including ipod nano and video) and it lived up to the great reviews, it's see thru, you can't tell anything on the screen, and it's also static, with UV protection.

  • IPhoto is changing resolution and image quality

    I am currently and for the first time using iPhoto 6 to produce a book - a feature within the application. I have edited my images in Photoshop, some have not needed to be so they have simply been saved as either high-res JPGS or TIFFS. On importing them into iPhoto selected images are downsizing and stating that they are not big enough to print - this I know is not true as they are adequatley large enough for printing to A0 minimum at 300 dpi. There are also a select few that are changing in image quality - the colours are looking either bleached out or over-exposed and they have lost their original quality. When opening the exact files in Photoshop they are correctly exposed, perfect colours, sizes etc. If I am to try and 'retouch' them within iPhoto I can resume some of their quality but it seems through the transition into importing inot the application they are being corrupted.
    Can anyone assist me as its driving me mad!!!
    Thanks

    What is the color space of the photos in photoshop?
    In iPhoto Preferences, Advanced, do you have it set to add ColorSync Profile?
    BTW, the 72 ppi (pixels per inch) is irrelevant. iPhoto defaults to reporting 72 ppi because that is a typical screen resolution. What's important is the total pixel dimensions of the image, and whether that size gives you an adequate dpi (dots per inch) when printed at the designated print size. So, while the image looks great on-screen in photoshop, that doesn't mean that it will be adequate for printing in a book. But you are right - you shouldn't see a significant shift in color when importing into iPhoto.
    Regards.

  • IWeb and image quality of Photoshop jpegs

    i am constructing a website consisting of my photography... with color shots i am noticing a dramatic 'flattening' of the vivid nature of my shots in iWeb as opposed to how they appear on photoshop... i believe i have followed the photoshop process properly... so there would be an image now at 72 ppi about 6 inches by four inches as a jpeg looking pretty vivid in photoshop on my screen. when i bring this over, via iPhoto, into iWeb image quality is lost... of note as well though is that this image does not look to hot in iPhoto as well... not sure then what forum this question belongs in... any quidance at all is appreciated.

    hi Tomas... thanks for your response... i did drag a photo from my finder directly into iweb and within the iweb program it looked great but as soon as i published i lost saturation... odd... so i can avoid iphoto now, which is great, but something is happening in the process still... i have turned off the iweb image optimization and played with tiffs and jpegs within photoshop to try to get the final image to come out as intended... if you have any other suggestion please let me know... thanks again for your post... i will check out your link.

  • Printing and Image Quality

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a place that I could find out how to use the printing functionality of the Java API other than the tutorials here on sun. We've got some printable objects in our program, but when we try to take the screenshots and print them out, the quality is very shoddy. What I want to be able to do is to get almost exactly what the image on the screen is and be able to print it with as good of quality as is on the computer screen. Are there any good tutorials out there, (or example good or bits of advice) that might help me do this? Thank you very much, and happy new year!

    While that is quite useful, the problem is that I need to resize the component I'm trying to fit, and in some cases edit the image before printing, so that the image gets somewhat distorted. Right now we've just been using getImageableX() and getImageableWidth() and those methods to draw the component onto the thing we are going to print. Is there a better way to deal with resizing?

  • What screen protector and case will you be buying for your new ipad (3rd generation)?

    Hello!
    I'd like to know what types of cases people will be buying for their new ipad this coming Friday as well as what type of screen protector/body guard you'd recommend. 
    I've been looking online trying to find places that would be able to ship before Friday, but I'm not sure which one to go with, there's too many options!  I'm definitely interested in a leather folio case though.
    I've also been wondering what type of screen protector to put on.  I've seen the iVisor anti-glare, and I really like how it works, but seriously... anti-glare on a retina display?  I don't know... any thoughts on that or suggestions?  I'd greatly appreciate it!!
    Thanks!

    I had an anti-glare screen protector on my iPad 2 and it degraded the quality of the screen so much I removed it. I have a clear skin on the back, which I like. It prevents scratches to the aluminum back and provides a gripping surface to hold on to. The iPad itself was slippery so that extra grip factor helps me. I use a smart cover for the front, because I like the features it has and the quick removability when docking the iPad. I also like that it automatically sleeps and wakes the iPad thereby conserving power. I chose the polyurethane smart cover because I had heard many issues with the leather covers fading/losing color and I couldn't justify the $30.00 dollar difference in price. I dock my iPad into an iHome theater device regularly, so using a portfolio type case would be too cumbersome to deal with. I do think portfolio cases or the otter box cases provide more protection, but they add more bulk to the iPad than I care to deal with. In the end it comes down to personal preference based on your particular needs. The items I have listed and the reasons for them fit my needs, I'm sure others will have different configurations that are specific to their needs. Hope this helps,
    Bob

  • Resaving pdfs and image quality

    I have clients submit ads as pdfs but sometimes I need to recreate the pdf because the client forgot to include all printer marks, or I need to convert a spot to process, or whatever. The way I do it is to create a new InDesign CS3 file, place the pdf file into it, and export to pdf using my preset. My question is does importing a pdf file into ID and then exporting back into pdf affect image quality, even slightly assuming the compression settings are the same in the export to pdf' dialog box - mainly all compression set to none?
    Thanks.
    -Mark

    New Bie:
    Many of the adjustments you want to make can be done to the PDF within Acrobat if you have the Acrobat Professional version.
    Such as: convert colors, add printers marks and change Page Box sizes.
    You'll find these tools under the "Advanced" menu > "Print Production"
    And also under the "Document" menu > Crop Pages > Change Page Size

  • Can I come into an apple store near me, buy an iPod Touch screen protector, and have a store employee put it on for me because I am very bad at putting them on.

    Can someone tell me an answer?

    I want to add that taking the inital measurement  you dont remove the sticky part until after you make you final measurement. Line the screen protector up, make a cut, then take final or adjusting measurements and make final cut. Then remove sticky back and place onto the screen. Be careful and slow lining up and placing the protector. Use a plastic credit card and smooth it on. Thats to keep air pockets from being displayed.

  • Editing and image quality in Lightroom

    Hello all,
    I am a new Lightroom user (Lightroom 5) and I've watched several tutorial videos and I've had a lot of fun playing around with the program.  I've noticed that Lightroom is said to be "non-destructive" when it comes to editing.  Apparently, you can do all the editing you want to an image (i.e. adjusting exposure, cropping, etc.) and there is no loss of image quality as you edit.  Is this correct?
    I would hate to think that my tinkering around with the editing tools results in loss of image quality each time I change something.  ("Hmm, I like that exposure.  Now let me adjust shadows.  No....that doesn't look right when I do that.  I'll just change the exposure a bit more...."!  I intend to put photos onto an image hosting site and present them, so I want the quality to be the best it can be!
    I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
    Cheers,
    Tom

    I know of no image editing software that causes loss of image quality when you make an edit. Editing steps simply cause a change to the image based on the edit you perform, not a loss of quality. This is true of Lightroom and every other image editor that I know of.
    If you choose to save (or in Lightroom do an export) as a JPG, then there is a loss of image quality each time you perform a save as a JPG. If you need to have a JPG of your edited photo for some reason, then this loss of image quality is unavoidable, but in most cases you won't even notice. Thus, in Lightroom, creating a JPG from the edited photo is the LAST step in the process, thereby minimizing the image quality loss.

  • Do screen protectors ruin the quality of the iphone 5 screen?

    I have an iphone 5 and I just bought the invisible shield from zagg and I have heard that it gives an orange peel effect on the screen. Is it worth getting a screen protector on an iphone 5? I have never dropped my iphone, so im worried about scratches to the screen.

    In my opinion a screen protector is not at all necessary to keep an iPhone or iPad in perfect cosmetic shape. They are purely a matter of choice, be it for piece of mind (protection),  glare reduction (there are anti-glare types available) or easy of cleaning, or any other reason. Since you have it, you could just try it and see what you think.

  • Screen protectors and nano

    I have some Palm screen protectors I'm thinking of cutting down and putting on the entire front and back of my iPod nano, at least until cases are available.
    Anyone know of any problems with putting a screen protector (meant for glass or hard plastic) on the metal back or plastic front of the nano? Will it come off without residue, as it does on a screen?
    And will the track wheel work with a protector covering it?

    Don't use the ones made by Palm!!! I used them on my iPod photo, left it on for a few days, decided to take it off and try something else, and it left behind a horrible sticky residue that I had to rub away with alcohol and ended up scratching the crap out of the plastic.
    Screen protectors made by Belkin are bad (they're not transparent enough) but don't have the problem, and ones made by Fellows are ok.
    However, I would definitely recommend Sony PSP protectors made by Pelican, available from Fry's, Best Buy, Target, and other stores. They are absolutely transparent so the you can see the screen clearly and never know there was something over it. It clings using static, so it's easy to remove. If you mess up putting it on the first time, you can peel it off and try it again since there's no adhesive. If you get dust on it while trying to put it on, just rinse it off with water, and it'll still cling to any plastic surface. It's the best screen protector I have ever come across.
