Martin Fields - Cases & Screen Protectors - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

http://www.martinfields.com/US/model.asp?model=SE_XperiaX1&modeln=Xperia X1&prod_type=mobile
I want to order a screen protector and I was thinking about a leather slip case. Anyone have any experience with their cases?

What I read and heard
From what I have read and heard is that the MartinField screenprotectors are one of the best out there. No hands on experience though.

I have used these on all my recent phones, they are very good but expensive £15 delivered

did u guys also removed the default screen protector ? i felt it was reducing the touch response of the screen..and very thick also.

well, the stock protector lasted me one day of use... putting the x1 on my pocket a few times peeled the sony protector so it's useless...
anyways, martin one should be here tomorrow (so says the track id)

Hi,
The "stock" screen protector lasted me a week. But you do need to cut/trim the tab off so that pocketing the phone and other general usage doesn't peel the protector off.
Have now fitted a Martin Field one.
Be warned though the sticky side of those protectors attract dust/lint/etc like a magnet!!! Also, that lint free cloth you think is lint free, isn't!!!
Have fitted 3 of these over the years and have never failed to get some lint etc between the screen and protector...
But they do do the job and protect your screen. Better £15 for one than £!!!! for a new LCD...
Des. . .

I've got a Martin Fields screen protector and I love it.
<rant>
I wasted £5 on a protector from eximstyle on ebay first.
It was too long by a couple of mm and just too wide so that it would press down on the screen when it was squeezed in; the quality wasn't great either, it didn't slide like the MF did. (They sent a replacement which was exactly the same )
Sometimes you really do get what you pay for! Got to love Paypal, it went a claim and they judged that if I sent it back with tracking I could have a refund (the postage would cost more than the refund).
I know where I'll be getting my screen protectors from in future, and it's not from jokers on ebay!

Sony Ericsson Xperia leather case
Leather cases on MartinFields are the same I bought from PDA Hut.

Just fitted one, perfect fit. Got a damn tiny piece of lint between it and the screen !! No biggies.
So far, so good
The stylus slides real smoothly

Anyone using a diamond without a screen protector

Hi I was just wondering how many people are using their diamond with out a screen protector. I have been using the invisi shield but it's starting to peel and look pretty messy. I don't really want to have to carry it round in the htc pouch they give you.
So how many folks just stick it in their pocket and have they found the screen scratches easily?
Cheers
I'm currently using a special TPU case from CAPDASE, unlike all the other silicone cases on the market, I'd say this has to be the best quality non-leather case out there. It comes in two colors, black or silver/white. In real life it looks a lot better than in pictures. I'm also using their mat finish screen protector.
The picture is from Google.

No screen protector and no worries
my original screen protector wore off and i'm going to get a new set ASAP. it's not very wise to be using the phone without one IMHO
sorry, double post
I'm not using any screen protector either (have had it for 7 months now) and so far no problems. There are a few very little scratches here and there but they are not noticeable and it doesn't bother me.
edit: just cleaned well the screen to double check and there is only one small scratch near the camera on the top right corner, but it's only visible under a certain angle and with the light reflecting on the screen. So, the Diamond's screen is ****ing resistant!
I'm using one from MArtin Field. They are highly recommended as I have purchased many of their protectors and they are very very high quality
i dont use protector and my screen is full of hairline scratches and it also has 3 reallly deep scratches
i dont care

That's not the one I got, I'm just using the regular mat one, it's not a privacy screen protector. I can't find the exact shopping link, but the package looks like this, except the one in the link isn't mat. This screen guard comes in two types, clear or mat finish.
http://www.yesasia.com/us/capdase-p...amond-pda-phone/1011133846-0-0-0-en/info.html
EDIT: The mat one has the word "Excellent" instead of "Crystal Clear" on the package, it comes with a tiny cloth too, see attachment pictures.
It's not just scratches to consider, I have had mine for a week and I just put a screen protector on when it arrived in the mail and it doesn't attract nearly as many fingerprints and smudges, I was wiping the screen constantly before I put it on but I just sent several messages with my fingers and there's hardly a print on the protector.
i used to have a screen protector on it (the one supplied) but the corner started peeling off then i got annoyed with it... so there is now no protector on it. its been like it for about 6 months. its been kept in my pocket (with nothing else) and has only collected a couple of small scratches, which would probably come out with acrylic polish.
I didn't use a screen protector and regretted it as I picked up a fine collection of scratches. This reduces the resale value of the phone and alos on a screen with such a high dpi scrthes make a big difference.
However The screen also cracked seperatley, so it's off for an insurance job, after which it will be behind a screen protector/slip case.
I used the origonal one for 6 months and it was ok till the end. Replaced it with a cheap one from Ebay and after a few weeks it has bad scratches on it.
Next time i am going to replace it with an expencive one.
At first when I bought my diamond I used the invisible shield. Took the screen part of the shield off immediately because it felt to rubbery. I have been with no screen protector since and I have some hairline scratches, but they really don't bother me. When the screen is turned on they are unnoticeable. The truth is by the time the scratches start bothering me it's a great excuse to buy a new phone anyways( even though I really love my Diamond).
Nice one cheers people. Think i'll probably replace my invisi shield it does work really well it's just a shame it's peeled at the edges. It just makes the phone look messy.
Shame they didn't make it with a really durable scratch proof screen.
Cheers
I can't do that to my phone , i have sweaty palms most of the time

Naw, I've been sporting the geek look and using the supplied holster, but since I work in an office, everyone has a holstered device of some kind.
No scratch!!!!
This is what i got..... 10 screen protectors for $10 from ebay

They work pretty well actually..... as good as the one that came with the phone~!

Static or Adhesive

Hi guys, i search for this subject, but i didnt found a answer on my question..
I have bought an HD2 2 weeks ago, and now i'm searching for an screenprotector. All my friends (no HD2's) have static protectors (so, no glue usages).. They say Static adherence is better, because it leaves no glue when you remove the protector (and adhesive protectors do?).
For the HD2 instead I can find only adhesive protectors, or protectors where iam not sure how they adhere to the phone..
For instance, the 'screen only' version of invisible shield, is that a adhesive or static protector?
Martin Fields notes that their protector is removable, but still with "A mild adhesive"
Also it is not clear if the basic protector of HTC is using Adhesive
I found one protector for HD2, that is using Static adherence: ScreenGuardz (screenguardz.com). Problem is that I dont find anybody who bought this allready..
In short i have 2 questions:
1. Is it true that when you remove a protector with adhesive adherence, there will stay some glue on your phone?
2. Adhere the "screen only" protector of invisible shield adhesive or static? And if this one is adhesive, do you know an other static protector?
Thanks in advance, Proces
I got a Martin Fields one, the best I have ever seen. 90% clear in ads but I have to say nearly 95% or 99% clear. Smooth sliding like original glass. I dont have a good hand but it's really easy to install with no crazy bubbles. I removed it once for washing, no feel of glue at all.
I used to buy cheap screen protector but this time I went for Martin Fields. I didnt want my lovely HD2 to be damaged. No regret at all. It's just worth it.
Is Martin Fields Scratch-proof like the one from zagg.com That's a lot better then that you've to replace your screen protector every month(s).
I havent used zagg invisible shield so I cant answer u. But from what I read so far, zagg is not really so invisible and Martin Fields's protector is not better at anti-scratch than zagg's one.
However, some guys said after a long time using zagg, there's some odd brown spot in his shield for HD2, look like mudd or sth else. And zagg is not as smooth as Martin Fields. That lead me to my decision.
The ones I use is Exim, used it on my last few devices and it is perfect. Can't tell a screen protector is being used both visually or by touch.
The Exim protector seems to be nice! No glue, and (according to the ads) perfect quality.. Can you tell something about your experience with the Exim? How went the installation (and re-installation)?
Martin Fields or Exim dont make a difference in price (£10).. The glue free feature of Exim makes me think to choose the Exim.
Other opinions why I have to choose an other Screen Protector?
Use a Brando Ultraclear: fits perfect with no glue (removable, washable and re-usable). I'm using on hd2 and is totally unnoticeable; i had on my previous device (and on my TomTom also) and after one year there are no scratch on surface and the screen protector appears like brand new

Installation is the same as any other screen protector. After I installed it, if there is any dust specs behind the protector, I simply lift it up with masking tape and use another piece of masking tape to remove the dust.
I just removed my exim from my old Diamond (after 2 years ish) and the screen is in perfect condition with no residue left.
Anyone got a photo of the HD2 Martin Fields protectors on the phone, to get an idea of fit - got the HTC ones and they were terrible but would ultimately like one to be on the safe side...

So, after all, there isn't much difference between the different brands (Martin Fiels, Exim, Brando)?

I can't comment on how the others that you mentioned performs as I have never used them. What I can say is that the exim does not reduce sensitivity, I had a normal cheap one on and I couldn't stand it as the screen was desensitised.
well I can tell you about different screen protectors.
i had invisible shield on my hd for 1 and half year, no visible scratches, now changed screen part to htc branded, it has been for one week and there is 7 very visible deep scratches.
same time that i bought htc branded for hd i bought brando ultraclear for hd2 and it has not even slightest mark, even that it has had much more usage than hd. also had same brando on my htc wizard for 2years and it got 2 very small marks.
martin shields is about the same that brando, maybe even better, had one on my diamond. but brando is better fit i think.
i recommend brando or martin, they are superior to any other. zagg invisible is god but its kinda sluggish for first 2months when brando, martin are very slicky nice.
cheap protectors like htc are BAD if one package has more than one it cant be good since even they dont trust their own product.

Best screen protector?

As the title suggest.
Any one recommend a good screen protector for the tab?
I'm waiting for this one...
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...YS/ref=rsl_mainw_dpl?ie=UTF8&m=A127GCSIQ9QZ6G
When I was looking, I simply paid attention to the holes made for the light sensor and camera on the front. Found an inexpensive protector on Amazon that fit my criteria of quality workmanship in that regard and went for it.
I dug around on ebay for quite a while and it seems there are some nice ones available there also, but the better ones seem to ship from hong kong, which was an issue for me because I want mine protected from day one.
I just popped in to CPW and they now have the invi-sheild, However at £15 I will not be getting that one.
Gonna have a look around on play.com, amazon.co.uk and so on...
I just received the cheap silicon skin I ordered for my Galaxy Tab. It's just great for my usage pattern, it adds protection, grip, and doesn't increase the footprint of the tablet form factor. Back to topic:
The screen protector that came with the silicon skin (as part of a bundle) is really cheap, both in price and quality ! It arrived with marks on it, and it adds a foggy layer on top of the otherwise beautiful glass screen of the Tab.
Conclusion: in my opinion, and based on the glass technology used to manufacture the Tab display, a screen protector is totally unnecessary ! A much better use of money is to get a decent skin to protect the plastic parts of the tablet.

I gotta agree... Gorilla glass used in the Tab is supposed to be really hard to scratch... but if there is a good protector out there, I would use it anyway... but the back was what I was more afraid of. Being plastic and curved slightly, I foresee the back getting a large worn out mark in the center very easily. I would rather not use a Silicone case if I could, Hence the front and back protector set I posted in post 2.... or one of those other full body screen protectors...
For now, I am really careful how I lay down my Tab...

I actually never removed the factory transparent plastic sheet on the back, to protect the white shiny surface against scratches !
It is still there, even though I now use the silicon skin all the time. On the rare occasion when I remove the rubbery skin that protects against sharp knocks, the plastic cover is still there to avoid a bad accidental scratch.
As for the display, it is plenty strong enough, unlikely to be scratched by regular activities and associated risks (like keys in pocket, small bangs against furniture when carried in jacket sleeve, etc). The plastic body is likely to be the weak point in the device, not the tough glass.
mklass mentioned the Invisible Shield range of protectors.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any other brand that was as tough without having the same horrible tacky finish to it.
Don't buy the screen protector from Vikuiti Displayschutzfolie DQC160, because after that you can't use the buttons. There is no way!!!
I like FoliX FX-Antireflex screen protector Samsung Galaxy Tab which you can get by amazon.
I got the antiglare screen protector from tmobile when I bought mine.
It covers the whole front and had a cutout for the front facing camera.
Used modified Ipad screen protector for the front and maintained the sticky stock plastic for the back.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
i dont know any good screen protectors but for the back i love my SKINITs from skinit.com
the skinit uses a 3m high end sticker i have one on my evo and i put that thing thru hell yeah the back is scratched but its the sticker not the phone
Agreed I will likely use the skinit as well as I used in on my instinct, moment, will use on my epic probably and will use on my tab once I pick one up!
online Zagg.com 50% discount code
I just ordered my Sam. Gal. Tab skin from zagg because of a 50% discount code they sent me for site-wide products on ZAGG.com. You can use the discount code one time during checkout before November 26th, 2010. Your discount code is good for up to 3 more items only and I am assuming it's available to anyone not just past customers like myself. Hope this helps you and the Code is: cn3jnpz44
I picked up the Zagg full-body kit from my local Futureshop (big box retailer, owned by Best Buy). Was pricey at $39 CAD (a bit more than I'd pay after shipping from Zagg in the US).
I bought it for the back protection more than anything else, and more grip on the back. For that, it works great, there's a LOT of friction from this thing, to the point where it almost won't budge when I try to push it on a marble counter top. It's a bit more glossy than I'd like, hoping that fades once it fully dries.
After a few months with my Galaxy S, the only thing that looks worn is the plastic back, didn't want the same thing to happen to the Tab, which is much heavier and more likely to grind little bits of dirt into the plastic. Samsung knows glass, they don't do so well with picking quality plastics.
The screen protector sheet isn't going to be used at all, since I HATE the snatchy feel of InvisibleShield on a capacitive screen, and the little ripples that never go away, and this one is no different. Once again, after months of use, my Gorilla-glassed Galaxy S screen still looks like new, (as did my Milestone with the same type of glass), expect the same from the Tab.
Actually, I'm sure I will use the front protector...it'll be cut up and used to protect the back of something smaller.
Try Martin Fields. . . I have been using them for all my devices. Works great on the touchscreen of my HD2, iPod Touch 2g. . . No problem with the touch sensitivity, they are fantastically bright (not crap like invisible skin which turns yellow with age and starts peeling) and actually provides a better and smoother surface for the finger to glide on the touchscreen. Gonna order one for my brand new tab today (purchased tge tab only yesterday and immediatelly rooted it)B-)
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I have the Zagg, and am happy with it. I had best buy install it, and had to go twice because the first time it sucked. The second was much better, and I am satisfied. The lifetime guarantee is a good thing.
I just ordered a Realook protector for my Tab as that's what I currently have on my Galaxy S and, aside from the slightly off-centre speaker hole (my fault), you can't even tell it's there. Pretty sturdy, too, the phone gets lots of pocket-time and it's not beat up at all.

[Review] Zerolemon Ultra Glass Armor 9H | Post All Reviews Here!!!

I have been asked by @ZEROLEMON_OFFICIAL to start a thread for the purpose of posting reviews of their Ultra Glass Armor 9H tempered glass screen protectors for the HTC M8.
***DO NOT START A SEPARATE THREAD FOR THE PURPOSE OF WRITING YOUR OWN REVIEW. ALL REVIEWS OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD GO IN THIS THREAD ONLY. ALL OTHERS WILL BE REMOVED BY THE MODERATION TEAM***
My review is as follows:
I received my tempered glass screen protector in the mail the other day. Everything was neatly packaged and included everything to install the screen protector. The wording of the instructions on how to install the screen protector was a bit confusing, but I've used a screen protector before so I knew how to install one. The only real issue I had was getting the protective film off the sticky side of the screen protector itself. The pull tab-style sticker came right off but the film itself remained, so I had to use a fingernail to pick at the edge of the film and then finally remove it. The screen protector went right on and looks great. I've only noticed a couple of issues, those being the screen protector seems to have a bit more glare than the actual screen of the phone, but I didn't find this to be an issue when viewing the phone in various lighting conditions. Also, it does seem to pick up dust fairly quickly. Overall, for the price you'd pay at an online store like Amazon, I don't think you'll find a better value tempered glass screen protector. Pick one up for yourself and see:good:
Amazon currently has them for $8.99.

Thanks for your feedback. The pull tab-style sticker should be able to stick on the film so the film will be easy to peel off. Maybe you are just unlucky, sorry. Below is the revised version of instruction which will be applied to the new batch.
1.Please wipe off all fingerprints and oil stains from the screen with the included alcohol swab. Wipe the screen with the included microfiber cloth for drying.
2.Place phone on flat surface with screen facing up. Peel the first plastic adhesive off and align the screen protector edge with the phone's edge.
3.Gently place the screen protector on the screen. The screen protector will automatically adhere to the surface of the screen.
4. If there are bubbles between the screen protector and the phone, please use a flat card to gently push out the bubbles to the edge of the phone.
5. Installation complete.
Those instructions are much better:good:
OMG INCREDIBLE!! Of all the shields I have had, this is surely my last from anyone. I am sticking to Zerolemon from now on. My other shields was fingerprint magnets, not this one. Easy to put on, and thinner than any other shield. Here is my 5 Star review from Amazon:
""I got the shield today, it was a snap to install. Thinner than my Chinese shield, and surprisingly almost fingerprint proof. The one thing I hated about my last shield was it attracted all my fingerprints. I always was cleaning it. But this one doesn't seem to even know my fingers even touched it. I can see the prints after heavy use, but so easy to clean, and barely visible, it is remarkable. This has got to be the best shield out there. And I have had one on all my phones. But now, this is probably going to be the only one I will have in the future. It's like touching the glass without any shield. Only con is that it seems to attract dust. But given that it is so invisible to the sight and touch a little POOF and no dust at all, I think it is static, because it is new, and will soon wear off. But if you need a shield, heck, YOU DO NEED A SHIELD!! This is the one to buy...""
This has attracted my attention. It is the best one I have ever had on any of my phones. (Now if you can make those camera lens covers from this material, I would be extremely happy) :laugh:
I received mine on Saturday. Beautiful packaging. The instructions where a bit on the small side, but its pretty self explanatory. The application went well enough, but keep in mind that this glass seems to be cut exactly the same size as the glass on the M8. So when you start to apply it make sure it starts exactly where it does on the phone. If you are even a little pulled away from the start of the glass on the opposite side of the glass it wont stick down because it will be slightly on the speaker grill. After getting that straightened out it looks incredible. For the price you cant go wrong.
Anyone who knows how to take care of a phone knows you need a screen protector.
Scratch proof glass just isn't after enough time has passed. But there's a reason manufacturers stick with glass for screens. It's tactile, your finger glides over it with silky precision. It gives the phone a solid and dependable touch to it. A solid reassurance. Most importantly, glass gives the best transmission of light from the underlying pixels so it makes the display look vibrant.
Then you have to slap some cheap plastic on top of it, This was far easy to apply to the phone. The glass and the phone join together like magic, after you have aliened it over the phone the two bond together, the Best part is there isn't a bubble beneath it, which I can't stand in plastic screens.
This is a revolutionary product. I love it. There are only a few cons to having this is an ever so slight increase in thickness in your phone. Plastic screen protectors are negligibly thick but glass has to be a bit thicker to be effective. Personally, I like the added thickness, modern phones are, to me, increasingly flimsy feeling. This gives it a bit more substance (My case still fits without issues as-well). I have also found 2 out of 4 corners are a little sharp and could of been slightly more rounded.
Overall this is one amazing screen protector and I look forward to showing it off on my phone.
How many taken part in this thread actually paid for theirs? Given that ZeroLemon were offering free units in return for reviews. It's hard to determine genuine positives from this thread. Has anyone compared this product to the others such as Nillkin (arguably best tempered screen protector), Mime, Zagg etc.

I have had the Nilkin on my M8, saved the screen when it fell on the floor when I was in the doctors office. But it was thicker, and always showed my fingerprints. This screen (Even though I didn't pay for it) is the best I have had. I have had tempered glass on my screens for a couple years, almost always the cheap ones from China that takes 6+ weeks to get here. This one is local and cost is similar, would I have bought it? I don't normally shop Amazon, so unless it was on eBay I probably would not, unless I seen it on someones device, or at least heard good news about it. I didn't even know that the glass resist fingerprints. Would I but another? Yep... I have already showed it to a friend, and she is going to get her M8 this weekend and order this shield. Because it is a lot better than the one on her M7. So even though you might think that the review is biased because it was free, it isn't. It is a good shield and not bad on the price either.... :good:
I got mine in the mail today.
1. It is awesome. It covers the entire glass portion of the front of the phone. Not just the active LCD area.
2. It is extremely smooth. This makes it feel as if it is not there.
3. It's oleophobic coating is superb. Haven't seen a single finger print.
4. It is extremely clear, I cannot tell it is there.
5. I have it paired with the Otter box symmetry case and feel as if my phone has the ultimate protection.
6. The only draw back was during the installation I kept getting a raised corner. This was because Tue glass is cut to very small tolerances and matches the M8's screen perfectly. I had to slow down and focus on what I was doing.
All in all I am pretty happy with it and will be buying a second one to keep as a backup. I see this protector lasting the life of phone and keeping the resale value in since the screen will be in perfect condition whenever it is peeled off.

I understand your concern. We are sending free samples in exchange for an honest review. We do not send samples to everyone, only legit users. You guys are welcome to compare our screen protector with other brands.
I have received my tempered glass protector from Zerolemon. Before I start I'll say that it was sent for review on condition that I review it. They told me to make an honest review, and never set any guidelines which leaves me to do and say whatever I'd like. I am in no way obliged to give a good review as they have nothing on me and have not told me otherwise.
The protector arrived in excellent, eco-friendly packaging that was simplistic yet effective in explaining what the product is and how to install it. Right away I could tell that the glass protector was of good quality and not simply a Chinese knock-off. I have used dozens of protectors including Spigen's $40.00 Nano slim, and this is comparable, if not better given the price.
The protector installed without a hassle, and aligned IDENTICALLY with my screen. The cut-out is perfect unlike other protectors, and offers maximum coverage with no exposed areas of the screen.
Included in the package are an anti-bacterial wipe and cloth to make sure you screen is very clean before installation. Once done, you take off the back film from the glass protector and simply let it adhere to the screen of your M8.
Again, this review was is in no way dictated by ZeroLemon, and I could of written anything I wanted. In fact, I already had another tempered glass protector installed so I didn't even need a 'free sample'.
I give this product a 10/10 simply because it's of top quality, and for the price, you cannot beat it.
I have recently received an ultra glass 9h tempered glass screen protector from zerolemon about a week ago. Upon first glance the packaging is well put together with the screen protector placed securely inside. The packaging comes with the tempered glass protector, a microfiber cloth, and an alcohol wipe to clean the screen off. The directions can be kind of confusing if you have never applied a screen protector or a glass screen protector before as they seem to be worded weird. If you apply to protector properly it looks extremely nice and feels as if there were no protector on it. The one thing I do not like about this glass protector is that it is a little on the thick side. With a case on the phone thou you don’t really notice how thick it is, but I do not use a case so I can feel the thickness of the protector. Without the case I need to be more careful when I put it and pull it out of my pocket to make sure that it doesn’t peel off or catch on the inside of my pocket. I have also noticed that this protector can have a little bit of glare in direct sunlight or light unlike the screen with no protector on it but it’s not that bad. All in all this a fantastic screen protector and for $8.99 you can’t really beat the price for any other screen protector, especially a glass protector. I would recommend this protector to anyone who wants to get a glass protector and give it shot!
What is the thickness of the protector?

Real World Use - PASS!!!
Ok, i was normally running naked since i've had my m8 and got a .10 cent chine film screen protector for a while but it fell off on one of my trips to the beach. I contacted zerolemon to inquire upon the free product.
Fast forward a week and i got it 3 days ago. Putting it on was a snap, its very precise with its cuts. My crappy chinese case was very close to not fitting but it did with a little adjusting.
Now yesterday at santa cruz my girlfriend put our phones on trunk lid area while we grabbed our stuff. She grabbed her phone and we started closing the lid and foolishly we slammed the trunk 2 times. i eventually notices my phone and immediately freaked out, but fortunately the only cracks was 3 in diff areas, and my actual screen was unharmed. If it wasn't for this product i would have a cracked phone right now and im still rocking my slightly cracked glass armor until i order a new one soon.
I'm giving this screen 10/10 across everything just for saving my ass. I highly reccomend this screen
Now that is a test I don't want to try. LoL
Why are there over a dozen phony 5 Star reviews posted on Amazon?

Just place cards, not really phony. If you wanted to test it out free, then you need to review it, good or bad. But so we was ask to post a temp review on there till we get the screen and check it out. Once it is checked out, the tester can go back and edit his review to show what he/she feels about it.

Unbelievable. A "temp" review? Why not let people review the item after they actually use it, instead of telling people to leave 5 star reviews for an item they don't even have yet?

What screen protectors do you recommend?

Hi, I've bought recently this phone and wanted a sturdy screen, preferably a glass tempered one but I've got no idea what brands to go for or if those that you can buy cheap on ebay are enough. I'm a bit clumsy so the possiblity of it slipping out of my hand by accident and falling on its screen is there. If anyone can give some input based on experiences, that'd be great.
Cheap plastic ones from amazon always seem to work fine on all my devices.. When they get scratched I have no issues throwing on a new one.
They are cheap but keep the screen flawless

hi, i am using nillkin H+, i bought it from amazon
Things i liked in this Nillkin :
1) my friends tempered glasses catches scratches, fades after long time use (4 months) and makes screen unusable in rain, but as nillkin is having real nano coating it helps me to operate my phone even in rain with out much problem
2) i bought a tempered glass before worth 270inr from ebay it was good to look, but when i was about to remove it as its not having Nano coating on it, then i observed that it cracked and formed small powder fragments on edges when i tried to remove it with hard plastic :silly:
later i installed nillkin, had to remove this also as i didnt manage to fit it perfectly on my screen.. i used the same hard plastic, this time Nillkin tempered didnt break nor atleast formed any tiny fragments, i lifted it and set again with out any problem
these are my observing on my tempered glass
I bought a tempered glass one for around $3 on eBay, haven't gotten it yet. I don't know if the more expensive ones are better, but better can mean 2 things. Either that it's stronger, so won't break easily; or that it protects the phone better. I doubt one will protect the phone more than the other.

I do the same thing. No problems yet.
I bought a nillkin H+ but removed it after a while because the phone screen is much less oleophobic. With the screen protector on, the fingerprints were extremely annoying, at least on my sample.
So can anyone recommend a really good high quality glass screen protector without flaws? If there is none then i'll order motorola official flip shell...

The $3 ones on eBay don't have flaws. I have one and I know other people who have them, no one has any problems with them. Just first learn how to put it on so you don't break it.

Undersized
I bought a tempered glass one from an online (no brand). It's undersized, about 1.5mm all around. Probably useful to allow a case to grip the front edge, but the description didn't say so. I feel cheated, but for the price it'll do.
My previous tempered glass ones (branded) were excellent protection, and felt better on my finger than the plastic ones.
[edit] I forgot to say, the shape is one with cut-out north of the top speaker, rather than the others I've seen with speaker hole.
Moto G Premium Quality Screen Protector is Anti Glare Matte edition in my recommendation.
it Protects your device from scratches & dust. Easy to Apply , Fits perfectly and requires no cutting. Comes with a cleaning cloth and application card. Easily removable with no sticky residue or marks
Tempered glass screen protector from amazon
I've been using a SPARIN tempered glass screen protector since I got my moto g in August. (It's about $8 on amazon; unfortunately I can't post a link, but it should be easy to find)
I've managed to crack it in at least 8 places (my phone falls a lot), but it hasn't picked up any scratches yet, and it's protected the actual glass underneath. If you're even a little proficient at holding things, it should be fine.
Snakehive protector
I've only had it a few days, but I bought a Snakehive tempered glass protector for my new G3, from their Amazon store. Very pleased so far. It has cutouts for the mouthpiece at the bottom and for the earpiece, light sensor and camera at the top, although at the top it doesn't surround them for some reason, but that's only a couple of milimetres uncovered. It was a breeze to put on when compared to film protectors. I laid it over the mouthpiece and it simply eased itself into place over the rest of the screen. Seems a bargain at the current £3.95.
I'm wanting to get the flip down case from Snakehive too, assuming they get more stock in.

First day of smartphone, yes good idea to have a screen protection. But now with gorilla glass, useless.
It's my point of view.

I used and have a Mr shield or something like that from Amazon super easy too install i've had no bubbles when placing it on the phone also bought a case where there was enough space that should it fall on the screen side it's not touching the floor I've dropped my phone about 5 times over the course of a year. Took off the case and replaced the screen protector and it still looks like brand new minus where I've blindly inserted the USB cord.
10 days to 1 year since i purchased the device . never used any screen protector and been 8 month since i didnt use any case either.
no scratches

Yeah, just acquired this phone from roommate, and he hasn't used any screen protectors either. Otterbox commuter covering it but that's it. No scratches.

my phone has some minor scuffs and little bend on bottom right corner but thats coz the phone fell from above 5 feet . must say the build quality is very solid
Honestly, you just don't need them these days. Had my G3 6 months, not a single scratch and I am hardly careful with it, gets thrown in pocket with keys and lose change, and dropped often because I am clumsy. Plenty of dents along the bezel but screen as good as new.
