Screen protector with otterbox?

Does anyone know if a Tempered Glass screen protector would work with a Otterbox Defender(with the Otterbox screen pushed out). I like the MIME Tempered Glass screen protector but dont know if it will work with a Otterbox Defender and not have any gaps between the edge and the case.

I have the defender case with an anti glare SP on and it seems to work great... I'm not too sure about the tempered glass ones, but with this SP, it doesn't fully cover up to the edges, but the case covers those areas perfectly... I'm really happy I got rid of the crappy otterbox SP

If by "pushing the screen out" you mean removing the plastic film covering the screen then I think it should work. I can confirm a perfect fit for the Commuter, but with a Defender im guessing the MIME would be a little bit too thick

Yes i mean take out the Otterbox Screen protector and putting a tempered glass on in its place, im just worried about the tempered glass protector will not go under the Defender cases edges around the phone so its sealed from debris and stuff. If its too think i can shave off a little bit of the underside of the case if needed to get a good fit but i really dont want to do that. Ive just heard and read that the tempered glass is better for a Note 2 than a zagg because of the s pen can cause the zagg to mess up.

I think there would be problems using a MIME glass with a defender. Some parts of the case will be covering the glass protector. Im not so sure about the edges of the phone, but Im pretty sure you would have problems with the top parts, where the front facing camera and the sensors are placed.

I have a MIME ghost glass SP with a defender and it works perfectly. Yes the top part of the glass is covered by the front of the case buts it better since it creates a seal like the original sp did.

Can you post pics? I would like to see, ive read and heard that Otterbox was going to revise the Defender for the Note 2 but havent heard anything from them or seen anything about what they are going to do to it. I love my Otterbox Defender but the screen lets too much dust and debris under it, i cleaned it a few minutes ago with a micro fiber cloth and i already have a little bit of dust under it.
Also how are you liking the battery mod you have done?

Hi people, i just registered here to share my somewhat of a solution to the defender screen protector problem on the Note 2. It still shouldnt be like this after spending this kind of money on a case, but still its way better than stock.
I got my defender knowing about the screenprotector problem but I found it to be the only case protective enough for my liking.
I believe the problem comes from a combination of the substantial amount of glue between the frame and the protector, and the curved screen. I believe the glue pushes the protector down towards the edges of the screen, making the middle of the protector pop up along the sloping screen, so it actually lifts away from the screen in the middle.
What I did was very simple. I first popped the protector out of the frame. I did this with my hands without heating it because its a very flimsy and weak connection anyway. For those afraid to break it you could heat it up with a hair dryer first.
Then next thing i removed pretty much all of the glue, but i didnt wipe the 2 parts clean, leaving bits of what you could describe as a very thin anti-slip layer.
Next thing i had the phone in the rear part of the case, aligned the detached screen protector with a clean screen, and gently clicked the top frame on.
This leaves me with a very snug fitting protector that is not moving at all. I will post an update if this proves to be a short term thing but so far its doing great.
Eli.

Xtreme Guard any good? 85% off code inside!

Is there stuff any good? I just ordered a full body protector + install kit for $1.65 shipped. For the price you cant go wrong I guess.

Garbage compared to a tempered glass protector. Trust me get the glass and u'll be happy

That's a poor reflection on XtremeGuard. Most plastic protectors are not as good as tempered glass ones.
I can vouch for XtremeGuard's full body protection. I had the rear protector which is a wet install product. It was top notch to be fair, easily as good as bigger more expensive brands like Zagg. I only removed it as I got a good deal on a SlickWraps matte feel rear protector.
For the money, XtremeGuard always offering high discount, you can't go wrong.

Agreed, but some people don't want a tempered glass protector.
I for one LOVED the feel of my xtremeguard. I actually dropped something right on the screen of my phone (a large lithium ion battery) and it make a giant nick on surface.
I was filling out the forms for getting my phone replaced via HTC Advantage, and at the last moment before submitting I decided to just peel off the protector and see how badly the glass was damaged, since I was returning it anyway.
Turns out the ding looked like it went through on the glass, but it was entirely on the screen protector!
Saved my phone! I had the full body, and I loved the feel of the gloss back. It made it just sticky enough to be easier to grip and didn't spoil the look of the phone at all. Fantastic, and for the price? it's a complete no brainer. Last time they had this sale I bought five, and I don't regret buying that many at all. It's amazing.

Wow thanks for the post. Been looking for a screen protector. I ordered their tempered glass and the full body wrap (Just in case I dont like one or the other) for a total of $7.65 shipped! Glad I didn't spend 2-3x that last week Cheers

I have used xtremeguard now for the second time (first time was on a phone I had to get replaced due to a defect)...I personally use it for the protection between the phone and any case I install...I work in a dusty environment and it really helps protect from stuff rubbing into the aluminum body and scratching it...awesome product.

Great idea, thanks. Going to use the back from the full body protector (under my case), and the tempered on the front!

Have the glass protector on my phone right now. Feels just like the GLAS.t on my Note 3. Tried taking a key and knife to it, and it left no scratches. Granted I did not press down super hard, but enough to simulate something more than normal. Would recommend especially with their massive discounts.

I have their wet install screen protector on now and have had it since I got the phone. Works good, just like any other wet install screen protector. I have tried alot of different ones, and they are all about the same to me.

Here's a video of it on the device

Got it on mine. Doesn't smear, applies easy and looks invisible. Top notch especially for the price. (I got them on the 90% offer)

Spigen Screen Protector GLAS.tR Nano Liquid?

Looks very interesting. I wonder how well it works. I beginning to hate how my current screen protector is crinkled on the corners.

Its a replacement oleophobic coating. Oil and fingerprints. It wont protect from scratches.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

When I first bought the phone I used it without a case for a short time and there were microscratches all around the front and back. I've never had a phone in recent years that scratches this easily. So I've used the spigen liquid both on the front and back and I haven't seen any new scratches for a while. Then I put a screen protector film both on the front and back to be sure.
So this liquid seemed to protect from microscratches, but don't expect it to protect your phone from anything more than that.

It would provide very minor scratch protection by refreshing your oleophobic coating and making it slick, but like you mentioned, it won't protect from a real scratch.
There are some ceramic clear coatings for automotive paint that would probably provide stronger scratch resistance, but I'll tell you right now, they are DAMN expensive. $70+ an oz.
If you just want to redo/refresh your oleophobic coating, there are cheaper ways. Fusso makes a coating kit for tablets that will last you the lifetime of your phone and probably your next 2 devices as well.

This has the same properties as the ceremic coatings I use for car detailing, it is more than just a coating. It will protect from scratches but understand it will wear off.

Did it cover or hide the previous micro scratches? I recently got a Google Pixel 2 XL and in less than a month i have numerous scratches on the bottom side of the screen, was thinking if this would be able to cover the previous scratches.

For those who have applied, any updates? (now that it a few months old by now)
I am thinking about using it.

I would like to hear any updates on this as well.

I've had this on my S8+ for a month and a half or so.
Applying the "screen protector" was super simple. You just wipe your screen off with one wipe and then apply the coating. All-in-all it took me a minute of application time and I gave it ten minutes to sit before I used the microfiber to wipe off the "excess".
The coating is very hydrophobic, which means basically nothing to me because I don't go around dumping liquids on my phone . It did nothing for my existing micro-scratches, I was hoping that it would fill them in at least a little bit but they're just as bad as they previously were. It seems to help prevent new ones, though. I treat my phone terribly (in and out of my pockets with no case or other screen protection) and I haven't noticed any new scratching since I applied the coating. With that being said, I'm not convinced that it would stand up to anything that would result in major scratching. If I were more concerned about the safety of my phone I would definitely be looking at getting a traditional screen protector or a good case.

Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite screen protector

I'm surprised at how good this screen protector is. It comes with a plastic guide that goes on your phone and makes sure the glass lines up perfectly. It comes with 2 kits that include wet and dry cleaning cloths, dust removal stickers, and the glass screen protectors.
This package also includes a protective sticker for the back of the phone. I'm using a case, so I'm not going to use the sticker, but it's nice that they included it.
Finger print scanner works like normal. My phone case fits like normal and I can barely see that there's a screen protector on my phone. This is a way better purchase than I expected. Much higher quality than I expected.
The only thing I'm unsure of is the protector for the camera. I haven't been able to test it out in daylight to see if it shows up in the photos. Only 1 lens protector is included. My case sort of protects the lenses, so worst case I just remove the lens protector.

Do you guys realize it's kinda pointless to use screen protectors on Gorilla Glass 5, not to mention camera lens which is covered with sapphire glass.. you wouldn't be able to scratch it even if you tried.

i am more worried about dropping it, that amoled costs about half the phone in here

From where are you guys buying screen protector for this device?

Thanks for this tip, exactly as you described. Usually these things end up in the bin. Didn't even need to re do finger print , no rainbowing, full adhesive. Top notch. Sacked of camera piece as didn't take but wasn't bothered anyway.

I can't appreciate on the pictures, is it with frame or clear edges?

Glass is all clear, no frames.
I also have this screen protector. No need to manual adjust the screen protector just put the guide on your phone then place the screen protector. Voila, perfect fit!
Best combination for me is this screen protector + xundd beatle case.

Mostly online, it is available in amazon for like 10 US dollars. Here in the Philippines it only costs 8 US dollars.

Hi all !
Also bought this glass kit and must say first impression is positive compared with hydrogel foil and some noname glass.
Transparent, no fingerprint, great feeling under finger, case friendly cut BUT view screwed when wear polarised sunglasses.

Which of the two protectors: Dome Premium Film (EPU film screen) or the E-Jig (tempered glass)?

The factory fitted protector is still the best for me, and works perfectly with my Otterbox Folio with zero lifting. And even better using the S-Pen leaves no lines as if it's made of glass.

Unfortunately I already scratched it.

Had you have any issues with the glue? the glass lifting easily if you touch the corners roughly?
I’ve had many cheap uv glue screen protectors which work well until something touches the corners.

No, but I'm always careful when using a new case to make sure it's not hitting the edges of the screen protector.
No problem at all with the glass lifting while touching the corners either.

I just really wonder if their glue is something special. Whitestone is in my opinion just to expensive especially if you don’t live in the US. I’m afraid that it will come off just as easily as the AliExpress one’s. I don’t want to have a screen protector which I have to take care off! That’s not the point. Most people also seem to be using with a case which I don’t want to do. Also I’ve read many negative things about them especially about CS.

Could you please elaborate on these problems? Also, what is CS?
I've been debating whether to use a case or not myself... as for the screen protector, for now I'm just using one of them flexible liquid skin type soft protectors - only issue is the rubberiness of their surface. In my country none of the Tempered Glass screen protectors sold are fingerprint scanner friendly. Whitestone dome is not available (also, it's riduculously expensive to import) and the best quality big name TGSP I ccould find was Spigen, even that carries poor reviews on Amazon.

I've had problems with the Whitestone dome and the s21U. I've put about 5 of them on the phone and everyone of them has chipped or cracked at the edge without the phone being hit or dropped in anyway. The glass seems so thin , it's unstable and not strong enough.
