Glass Screen Protector? - LG G Flex

If anyone finds a Glass Screen Protector for the Flex, please post it here...
I love those things, and, it may be impossible for someone to make one for our curved screens..
thanks!

Nothing is impossible, just cost prohibitive.

How's that working out for you on the Flex? I was concerned that the screen on the Flex would be softer than a non flexible screen making it more probe to scratches and swirls.

I am clumsy, and tend to drop my phone, so I always have at least a cheapo screen protector, and some sort of case/skin on..so far, after 2 days, no drops on this one, but its so slick, its only a matter of time..

Have you emailed any of the company's and asked if they're making a glass screen protector for the Flex? You could put the email in here maybe so we all can pester them. lol I've never had one but my friend loves them too.

I contacted Nilkin, a Japanese company who made one for the one max, but haven't heard back yet.
I am not sure that anyone can/will make one, since it might be really difficult to get glass to adhere to a curved screen..

Ok. That makes sense. lol Darn. Thanks

I think its still too early to assume there wont be any. What most of these accessory companies do now, is wait and see how popular a new phone becomes, before they bother to make anything for it.
Assuming this phone becomes really popular in the next month or so, I think there will be alot more "stuff" for it.
Its really only been out a month or so in the USA..

I'm kind of surprised what's out in stores already. I remember some stores wouldn't get cases for a month after the phone was out.

I got a Skinomi screen guard from Amazon. It Is the nicest protector I've ever used (and I've tried a lot of them). Crystal clear and virtually no orange peel effect. I paid like $5 plus $4 shipping which was super fast. I'm sorry, but i don't have a link. Just Google it. Should pretty easy to find.

Front and back? Was it easy to put on and does the phone feel less slippery? I read that one of the protectors was coming up on the corners.

I only bought the screen protector as I'm using a case. I can definitely believe that the corners would peel up on a full body protector. I've experienced that every time I ever used one of those. It was fairly easy to install but try do it somewhere where there's no dust as these are very staticy and instantly attract dust, pet hair, etc. ( I put mine on in the bathroom ) Skinomi's website had a link for a YouTube video with installation instructions.

these are vinyl, not glass..

Hoping ZAGG comes out with one but I doubt it. Their glass ones for the iPhone and S4 are flexible so they wouldn't be out of the question for the flex. Really easy to put on too as I've done a bunch for customers

Good news y'all. Bodyguardz has a tempered glass screen protector available now. I used their glass protector on my S4 and it was awesome. Already ordered one for my Flex.

wow, 40 bucks, kinda expensive..

40's not so bad when you consider it's got all the benefits of glass without the fingerprints :good: Same price I paid for the S4. I'll post again after I get it installed. Just ordered yesterday. Don't know how long they'll take for shipping.

Yep, I heard these are junk. Boxwave posted their entire stock of accessories discounted on Slickdeals website. There are hardly any reviews about these screen protectors, and whatever they have on Amazon is rated low.
I will like to have my own opinion on their quality. I will gladly pay 3 dollars for that

Oh, without a doubt, I would like you to have your own opinion and once you receive these - please share it on this forum!
I went through half a dozen of cheap ebay screen protectors from different sellers hoping I will find that diamond in the rough Didn't happen. I even tried premium ones, like Spigen. Now, I'm on iSmooth and appreciate it more No matter how many reviews you read/watch, you make the final call on what you like!
I think a diamond in the rough is tech armor. I really like it and Recco it. I an a sucker for good deals on screen protectors though.

So, if you found tech armor to be the best, why do you continue searching for other ones, and I assume testing them out? I'm in kind of in a same boat, went through a bunch where some were too thin, others too thick, some left s-pen marks, others had annoying rainbow effect, and some didn't stick as well. Now, I settled on iSmooth and don't want to remove and reapply anything else. Even with my last "final" install I didn't clean up phone screen 100% and probably left a tiny area around home button oily where I see sp didn't make a good contact (my fault). But I just don't want to rip it off, clean the phone and re-apply it again. I too love good deals, but don't want to keep reapplying new sp. Now, got UAG case on order and that one comes with its own screen protector which some say is a good quality. Plus, Scott/JLG mentioned in another thread he will be coming up with dry install sp... It never stops lol!!!
I like screen protectors. Cell phones and screen protectors are my hobbies.My favorite one that requires soap water is phantomskinz and I have tried them all. I just got into these dry installs a I am very impressed. I like to test them out and I keep going back to tech armor
one quick question, does this sp cover the whole phone, or leave a few sections such as top or bottom.
alas...the code is no more..
There was a problem

Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I was wondering what you guys thought of the tempered glass screen protectors I have been using one since I purchased my phone and I like it but I bought a cheapie one on eBay (nothing wrong with eBay I'm just saying even for eBay it was a cheap one) and its not sticking on the edge. I paid a little more for my wife's GlasT on her IPhone 5S and its perfect. So basically I wanted know if you guys think something out there is better than the tempered glass screen protectors before I dish out the money on a better one. Or is anyone else using a tempered glass protector having the same problem with it not sealing all the way to the edge. A buddy of mine has an G2 as well of a different brand and hes said the same thing happened to his. It doesn't look terrible just a small area all the way around the screen where it's not making contact.

If you buy a decent screen protector you shouldn't have any problems. Just search Amazon for LG G2 protectors

UPDATE: I still have not experienced any edge-lifting. Note though, that i did NOT use the cleansing pad that they provided. I simply used alcohol and a cotton ball, no finger prints after cleaning whatsoever, then used the pink sticky film to remove all small particles from the cotton ball and any dust not seen by the nake eye.
But i will say though that the finger print resistance is almost non existant now. It really makes me appreciate how the stock glass is just that sweet. But all said and done, im satisfied to an extent.. if something comes out that is unanimously better than ill change.

Hi,
thanks for the link. There don't seem to be many about on the internet, £10 seems like quite a lot for a screen protector unless its amazing.
I did see This one on amazon but again don't really know whats its going to be like...
Hey Guys. In my experience your gonna really want a full body protection with this nice watch.. Im in the US and ordered my R from Korea and they had it to me and cleared customs in 2 days. But the Skinomi full body kits are the best on the planet and you can get them in clear like the invisishields or in nice colors and textures like woodgrain and brushed metal and carbon fiber on amazon. Heres the link you will need. http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-TechSkin-Replacement-Definition-Anti-Bubble/dp/B00NAGSYQS
I've used the full body on a galaxy gear and a gear live and it is really nice to have bump protection on the whole watch and the under side covering protects the watch well and stops it from sliding on your wrist so much if you don't like to tighten your band really tight. And as a problem I had experienced with my gear live the charging pin connectors didn't like my body sweat too much and wanted to corrode and pit. If you can find some extra material in the kit I would suggest cutting a piece to fit over the charge pins while u wear the watch so sweat or oils won't have any chance to damage them. have fun I'm loving this LG.
I have to disagree on the Skinomi stuff.
I bought that for my original Moto 360 and ended up removing it. I just did not like the feel of it on the watch. It is pretty much like saran wrapping the watch.

yeah i like the idea of the kits but i think they look a bit ugly. i like protecting my stuff but i bought the watch for its looks and i dont want to hide it under a protector to have something perfect that i never get to see.
saying that i will be gutted if i chip the body!
i am worried about the face and how easily that might scratch

Meh, just standard things 101. Happened many times before. I don't think I'll have issues with that specific thing.
Plenty of screen protector options on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=...=ur2&tag=soxpzulfa-20&linkId=E76F2GLYMQ6F7UJM
The carbon fibre skin looks interesting...
Anyone find a good screen protector yet? Right now I just took one of the extra ones I had for my M8 and cut out a circle of the appropriate size. It works alright except not all of the edges are tightly adhered, so it looks kind of bad.

ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - No Go
I installed the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield screen protector for the G Watch R, and it is pretty disappointing. It is all hyped up and packaged as if it is premium, but the soft plastic cover is far from premium in application. There are a bunch of tiny pits and lines on my screen protector, and it looks like it doesn't belong. I might as well have left a piece of factory plastic on the screen. I even went as far as installing this in one of our clean rooms at work, and while there was no dust, there are still some odd artifacts that show up in the adhesive layer. I've had much better luck with the hard plastic-like screen protectors that don't require a wet application. I recommend you skip this particular brand.

Let the Armorsuit cure for about 24 hours after application and those imperfections smooth out.

I bought the "dipos LG G Watch R Screenprotector (2 Pieces) - Crystalclear from Amazon http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00NGP0EZM
And Iam happy with it
I've tried the Vikuti CV8. I was not able to fixate it and then properly swipe out bubbles. How did you guys do that?
Since I wasn't able to apply it without ugly bubbles and reflections both protectors are now in my trash can.
Has anyone found a tempered glass screenprotector for the g watch r?
If you see a cheap "XtremeGuard Screen Protector" one don't buy it. Has a rubber like feel to it when trying to swipe the screen.

I tossed it a week later, it never really settled out. It had too many imperfections that were visible at an angle. With the screen on, looking straight on to the watch, it looked perfectly fine, but when it was at an angle and light hit, you could see all the imperfections. It made the watch look cheap. Maybe I had a dud. The search continues....

Tempered Glass

I am looking for a screen protector for my BN Turbo. I would prefer a tempered glass solution but am willing to explore other options. Does anyone have one or can offer suggestions for one? Thanks

When I bought my turbo in October or November, I also bought the "flexible glass screen protector for droid turbo" at the Verizon store. It is a little pricey at about $25, but I really like it. They had to order it for me and it was delivered straight to me.
For what it cost, I took it to them and had one of their employees put the screen on for me. I think he did a pretty nice job of it. I have no complaints, other than the high price. ?
As far as I can tell, it has no scratches on it, but, I try not to treat it rough. Also, it is very hard to see any smudges, etc that I get on it.
It did take me a little while to get used to its edges. If you swipe from the very edge of the phone, you can feel the edge. It kind of catches your finger. I have had no problems using it. At the same time I also bought the "Speck" case from them. I like it as well, but, it is also pricey.
Before this, I always used their belt clip. I do miss that, and, "may" one of these days replace the Speck with it. But, I think the glass screen is so much better than the plastic ones.
I would buy the glass screen again. (my opinion only)

I just received this one today.
Its not bad for the price.
I was just going to start a thread with the glass screen protectors that I've tried and whether it works or not. but just an fyi, I've used the ez guardz, they admitted to their current model having a design flaw; the edges of the screen protector doesn't adhere. Also the Ghostek I just received today has the same issue. There's one more I'm looking at on eBay and I'm going to stay away from the "flexible screen protectors" as those are the ones made by tech21 and I don't like the feel of them.
Sorry. Wrong thread.

Looks like film, I have their screen protector for my moto 360, first batch was over sized, they then sent me the replacements which were a lot better. I may end up going with tempered glass as well for to 360 but at the time none were available but the film ones, except the Spigen which chipped. I'm not too confident with the ones that are available now.

I know that it's a film protector & not tempered glass. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with it. I was also looking at the iVoler tempered glass sold on Amazon
The iVoler is great, with a few minor caveats:
• Follow instructions to the letter, making sure the screen is immaculately clean. Also, wear rubber gloves if possible. Even a minor trace of skin oils will result in spots that refuse to adhere, so be super careful.
• This particular item ships from Shengzhen, China, and takes about three weeks. Order a spare while you're ordering and waiting so ridiculously long for the item to arrive.
Aside from that, it seems to be just the ticket... It's coated, so it feels slick, stays clean and doesn't show fingerprints.
This company finally has one out, I have it on order today.
http://mimeusa.com/product/droid-turbo-ghost-glass-screen-protector/
reporting back from my last purchase.
Tried this TEMPERED GLASS Screen Protector - Slim 0.33mm Super Hardness - Crystal Clear by COVRWARE - picked it up from amazon for $9.97
The glass itself is nice. It feels like the naked screen. It's a 9H and oleophobic. Unforunately the edge adhesive halos. It's cut slightly short of the edges to in an attempt to deal with the 2.5D screen edges.
you don't notice when the screen is on, but yeah it's not a edge to edge performing adhesive. so i've left it on, as i look for a better screen protector.
i'd love to see how that mime screen protector does.

Let me know if the edges stick that's really the only issue with most of them on the market right now. I don't even want to show my phone to others because of the parts of the screen protector that doesn't adhere. Waiting on a replacement for my ghostek, if that's the same then I'm off to trying a different one.
The edges on mine are all good, with the exception of two spots where my fingers made contact with the adhesive. My hands were clean and dry, but it apparently doesn't take much to impact the performance of the adhesive. I'd recommend wearing rubber gloves during application... Other than that, it's a great fit, and covers only the flat (non-rounded) surface of the screen.
Ok got the MIME today, typical package and install. Goes on good does not go the the edge but about like the xtreme one I had installed. This one sticks so far and feels way better slickness wise than the xtreme.

Interesting there's no cut out for the proximity sensor. Have you had any issues during phone calls? Make a phone call, and hold the phone away from your face. Does the screen still go on?

Anyone going to go bare without a screen protector?

I pre ordered my note 8 with Verizon and it came in yesterday!
I have the spigen kick stand case on it now. Got it from Amazon prime for 17 bucks and it's great. Makes the phone easier to handle.
I have the cheap plastic screen protector that came on the phone in the box. Really can't decide on a screen protector. I hate the wet application ones and the dry adhesive tempered glass always bubble. Thinking about going raw....any one else?
I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow but none of my accessories are here and I ordered the phone after the accessories. I wouldn't do it only because of some of the complaints of the s8 and scratches on the screen. There's some screen protector that I'm gonna try that is supposed to be a hybrid between regular protectors and tempered. Hopefully I can order that soon but I'm gonna have to use the one in the box or a temporary tempered glass on it

I am,in place of a screen protector,I'm using a liquid sealer.
Here's one that's relatively inexpensive:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/NanoBlot-Liquid-Screen-Protector-Phone/165968396
https://www.walmart.com/ip/NanoBlot-Liquid-Screen-Protector-Tablet/112875380
And another that costs a bit more,but,good for several applications:
https://www.nanoflowx.com/spraygard
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nanoflow-X-...tector-PROTECTS-UP-TO-16-PHONES-/172590962858
Do these sealers work?
That's debatable,but,I've been using several different brands for about two years & while it is impossible to prove a negative I haven't had a single blemish on any of my phones for 2+ years.
Do not mistake this stuff as an equal replacement for a screen protector,it's merely providing scratch resistance,nothing in regards to breakage.
I don't recommend these sealers to everyone,especially to those who are prone to exposing their phones to scratching (using the phone w/dirty fingers/exposed to the elements/dropping/typically careless in regards to pocketing/pursing with items that may scratch on a regular basis,etc...)
I don't baby my phone,but,I do take care to keep it in a pocket holster while @ work & in a neoprene sleeve most other times.
For me,a screen protector is not necessary,so,I use a sealer for added protection against scratching.
Some think they're snake oil & TBH,I don't blame 'em,but,I loathe screen protectors as a whole,less a perfectly installed factory one,as w/the Huawei Mate 9,you'd be hard-pressed to notice.
I wish a factory-installed protector was an option,perhaps I'd be more inclined to use one,provided it didn't have the looks akin to a protective bra on a car circa 1980-1990.........................

I am,in place of a screen protector,I'm using a liquid sealer.
Here's one that's relatively inexpensive:

And another that costs a bit more,but,good for several applications:

Do these sealers work?
That's debatable,but,I've been using several different brands for about two years & while it is impossible to prove a negative I haven't had a single blemish on any of my phones for 2+ years.
Do not mistake this stuff as an equal replacement for a screen protector,it's merely providing scratch resistance,nothing in regards to breakage.
I don't recommend these sealers to everyone,especially to those who are prone to exposing their phones to scratching (using the phone w/dirty fingers/exposed to the elements/dropping/typically careless in regards to pocketing/pursing with items that may scratch on a regular basis,etc...)

With my first Note 7 I used Sharkproof "snake oil" and like you was very careful with daily handling. For the 4 weeks (!) i had my first Note 7 I had no issues. The only issue I had was that Sharkproof made the screen too slippery. For my third Note 7, the second was a swapped device from Samsung which went on eBay, I used Samsung's OEM screen protector. On the whole this was a great option as the S Pen worked well and was more effective than gel/TPU type and I managed not to waste money searching for the holy grail of the tempered glass solution. For the Note8, Samsung have not made available their own screen protector.
EDIT : And so for the Note8, I'm going to have to waste money on TPU/Gel like protectors until Samsung....

You would have social services take my phone in to protective custody, if you saw how I treated it.
Was just looking at my S7E screen, thinking "that's actually
pretty good, for its age". Then remembered I smashed it and had it replaced a month ago.
I have a case on it now...
My problem with screen protectors: Every one I've used has looked and felt worse than the micro scratches it might prevent.

LMFAO,you sound like one of my friends from my youth who handled LP's as if they were Frisbee's on a good day & more like a Zildjian on a drum solo..... ?
Does the S8 have the same gorilla glass the Note 8 will have?
I was so hopeful that i could forego the screen protector on this one but from reading this thread i doubt it.
Last note I had was the 4 and i had the screen crack on me.
no matter how many people say they got no scratches, never go without protector. they are either blind, lie or can't place the phone in right angle to see those scratches.
i always buy protectors because of the scratches and not because the screen could crack.
on my s4 which has gorilla glass 3. i haven't had a protector for the last year after using always the same protector 3 years before.
since then there aren't any hard scratch on the display or anything but i notice alot of fine micro scratches but only when i put heavy light on it and hold it in the right angle.
i have used it much, but mostly at home and also kept care of it. still it happened.
as far as i know and have read this isn't any better on the newest gorilla glas 5. so i will not risk anything and keep on using protectors.
for the note i just simply can't find anything good.
whitestone dome on the s8 was good, but overpriced, not friendly for every case, popped up after a few months or just cracked very fast.
not good enough for this kind of money otherwise it would be good is guess.
all other glass protectors are useless since they only stick to the sides and will force problems like bad touch, dirt underneath or popping up very fast.
then there are wet tpu protectors which i don't like. they are too thin and flexible. they just don't feel right, leave marks quickly and often got a yellow touch or rainbow effect.
also they will probably not stick long on the edges and are mostly not case friendly even if they say so.
so the only thing which i consider are the good old school tpu/pet protectors which are applied without any water or so.
i hope they will stick good on the edges and if they are case friendly nothing will pop up.
it's a little bit harder to get all the bubbles out but i rather put some time into placing the protector right and remove the bubbles then buying every few weeks a new one or even go without any.
of course they will also feel kinda cheap like plastic (it is plastic afterall) but atleast they are not so thin and flexible like the wet tpu ones.
for now i will try this one and hope it will be good. if not well then im fuc*ed cause i can't find anything else!! (

I will be using Clear View cover, so no screen protector for me.
Raw and Vegan!
That's the only way I roll, yo!

Ordered that one from "cubevit", price is right and the reviews from someone who actually has it seem good.

I'm getting this for the note 8 as soon as it's out. I've been on contact with the company and sounds like next week. Seems like a very thick pet, or some hybrid of tempered. https://youtu.be/ksCnb3xlKU4

Ugh, i need something though!
i have this weird thing where i do protectors for at least the first yr then i just go bare. it doesn't make too much sense logically i suppose but i probably will with the Note 8 again. My S7 has been bare for a while now and has zero scratches FYI

On second thought. With the monthly insurance I pay for, why not just go with a bare screen and if it cracks, get a new one?

Bare always feels great!
However, the cuts and scratches really detract. Insurance will not cover that as normal wear and tear. So, for the first time, I'm wrapping mine up. hehe
Bought 9H screen protector. If it's not as "Sensitive" I can always take it off.

I checked the reviewers, they seem to give 5 stars to all the products they review!!!
EDIT - Clarification - the spot check I did, I found all the reviewers I selected gave 5 star reviews to other proucts

As far as someone saying the reviews are fake there is also a video review of someone getting one and he says he loves it. You can also read the comments on it. I'm gonna do a review on here as soon as I get mine so I'll let you know how it is
