Recently received and installed the Realook screen protector, and I figured I'd give my impressions on this, as well as a short comparison to the T-Mobile In-Store screen protector.
When I first got my Vibrant, I chose to get the T-Mobile screen protector. When I got home and opened it up, I was rather surprised to find out that it didn't cover the entire front of the phone. -1 for that. Application was typical for any dry application, so that wasn't a problem. but once I had it on and used it for a day or two I started noticing the pixelation so many people talk about on these forums, and it was very noticable. Immediately after installation there was a little additional resistance to my fingers on the touch screen, but that quickly went away. The pixelation effect was so bad that I looked for a replacement, and found this forum and head about the Realook brand so I decided to give it a try.
My Realook screen protector arrived in the mail and I wasted no time in installing. The first and probably most disturbing thing ( for me at least ) during the removal of the T-Mobile screen protector was how much it actually diminished the image quality of the Vibrant's screen. I was literally in awe. The screen looked beautiful without the T-Mobile screen protector.
Now, this brought me to quite the situation, because I was worried my Realook would have the same effect on the screen. After the simple dry installation, my fears were soon gone. The Realook does not diminish the screen quality in any way whatsoever. It looks as if nothing is on the screen. If you are worried about the screen protector ruining your beautiful display, then fear not. From what I can tell there is zero distortion / pixelation using the Realook screen protector. This is a huge plus for myself and I'm gong to bet for everyone else looking for a screen protector but also wants to keep their screen looking nice and vivid. The only downside to the Realook is that there was a little more resistance when sliding my finger on it at first, but a day after using it and that problem quickly went away. There was also no change to the overall touch sensitivity of the screen.
Also, the Realook package includes a screen protector for the camera lens! Does not distort the image created by the camera whatsoever. I've never heard of a company including one of these with their screen protectors. Awesome!
Critical Points:
Pros:
+ Does not affect screen image or viewing angle.
+ Easy application
+ Covers entire front of the phone, including the 4 capacitive buttons.
+ Does not affect the touch sensitivity of the screen at all.
+ Includes a screen protector for the camera lens!
+ Did I mention that it doesn't distort your beautiful Super AMOLED screen?
Cons:
- A little resistance to the touch, but this will go away within one or two days.
Overall, I can highly recommend the Realook Screen Protector to anyone looking for one for their Vibrant.
5 out of 5!

2ZDLV2W5 valid until the end of september
Note: I know there will probably be people who come into this thread saying that screen protectors are useless because of the scratch resistant glass used on the Vibrant. I personally use one because when it comes to my expensive investment of a mobile device, I'd rather be safe than sorry. And since there is basically no downside to this screen protector, I will recommend it and use it as long as possible. Thanks for reading!
