[Q] Let's talk about tempered glass screen protectors - G4 Accessories

I've done quite a bit of reading on recommended tempered glass screen protectors and still not been able to develop an opinion of my own.
Would love to have everyone discuss some of their experiences and recommendations.
Here are a few of the one's I've found on Amazon for the G4:
ScreenMate
E LV
CaseBase
Orzly
amFilm
IQ Shield
SuperShields

I'm deciding too to which can be delivered to Singapore too.. I've never heard about Orzly brand before, any reviews about its durability?

Ever since I switched from Samsung and my Nexus 5 to the G3 and learned the hard way that it doesn't use gorilla glass, I've become kind of anal on tempered glass protectors. Ive been through 4 different ones so far on the G3 and can say it's hit or miss. Here's my rundown:
1. Perfect, I only had to replace because it cracked when the phone slipped out my pocket entering the Jeep. Saved my screen though! Tried to replace with the same one but it was out of stock
2. Misadvertised piece, returned immediately. The cutouts weren't to my preference
3. After installation, it scratched within an hour. Clearly wasn't "hardened, scratch resistant 9H blah blah". Tossed
4. Not exact cutouts but close enough (combined earpiece with camera in one oval). Still standing strong to date.
Personally I desire one that has exact, individual cutouts for the earpiece as it maintains aesthetics. I've even had a few coworkers examine it and couldn't tell that there was one applied to my G3 at all as it was practically seamless.
I'd say go with this one E LV just based on their image. That said I've returned one because product didn't match the image.
If you find one you like buy 2 more! They're cheap enough and you never know when a spare will be needed (RMA, crack, etc)
Here my " perfect" unit GLAZZ

Mime have also released their tempered glass screen protectors for the G4. I had their ghost glass for the S4, and it's held up pretty well. Hasn't cracked yet in two years, even after numerous falls on hard and concrete floors.

I aso do some research on the tempered screen. But no luckly still not find a good one.

ive done alot of research on all these glass screen protectors and a new skinomi tempered glass came out, its on amazon. I'm picky about the cutouts and it looks like this one is fully covered with all the right specs (9H, oleophobic, rounded edges, etc) it just has a cutout for the earpiece speaker. im ordering this one, ive already ordered the tech matte one from the win droid guys review but returning because i dont like the cutouts or the non-oleophobic surface.

Thats the same one I ordered. I also ordered the LG G4 Clear HD Screen Protector for $1 after the coupon code AFIU8VKL. Should get them before end of next week. Phone looks like I will have today. I'll use the Glass and keep the other for a backup just in case something happens to the glass one.
Code works only on Ships from and sold by Skinomi not Amazon

Same here. I was able scheduled it to arrive 10 days earlier thru Amazon.ca - and I'm in the US!

I bought the E LV and it went just fine, it only has the cutout for the speaker. Not sure if that's going to be an issue or not, I've had glass protectors that made the phone do weird things when the cameran and prox sensor are not cut out. So far, I'm satisfied, but It's been on about 15 mins lol.
Edit: I don't recommend the E LV tempered glass protector. Its a MASSIVE finger print magnet, oleophobic my backside. Its nearly impossible to clean smudges off this screen.

Actually I bought the 2 ScreenMate Light tempered glass... I haven't applied yet, because I am getting my G4 next week.. I was worried about the tempered glass, because it was bent!
So I contacted Iloome to know if it was defective... They said " The protectors come out slightly bent like that for maximum adhesive once applied to the phone. "
Either way, I believe I did right thing because I bought each one for $8!!!!! I will update when I get my Lg G4 H815

You know the G4 is curved...right? heh

lol
true!

I got the Supershieldz. They sent the one I ordered then sent another one saying the 1st one was defective.
Well I'm using the defective one and although it fits fine, there is a small bubble in each if the 4 corners. It's slowly gone away but you can still see it. Because of the curved glass I assume.
Haven't tried the newer, fixed one but I now have a spare.

Best Glass Screen Protector?

What is the best glass screen protector available right now for the note 4? I wish the spigen gLass nano.slim was available....
spigen gLass nano.slim for sure, however, being in the same boat as most of yall waiting for it to become available I just ordered the iSmooth one as I've used them before and it's pretty good quality compared to the cheapo's out there.
Just to get me by...oh well...
This is what I have; I like tech armor because of their lifetime warranty. I have not used a glass screen protector before but put one of these on my wife's iphone and it seems great...

Ever since when there is Gorilla glass, I never use screen protector anymore.
Why do people need it now?
Sometimes I forget I have my keys, or loose change in my pocket. Don't want t o scratch the screen.

The question is:
Which glass screen protector will have the greatest coverage (closest to the edges) as most, if not all, glass protectors are cut short stopping right before the curves near the edges.
This may be a problem.....having second thoughts about glass screen protectors now...
I think the iloom e might have full coverage. They bragged about being the first to do it on iPhone 6 and that also has the 2.5D glass as well.
i grabbed this one, and it shipped really fast; not sure how it will work, but its full coverage, and under 9 bucks!

I don't use screen protectors either. But ever since I saw a few people here at work with glass screen protectors on their new iphones I've been looking around and they seem pretty awesome. I've seen a few videos on youtube where they smash the screen with a hammer and only the protector broke with the screen left intact.. Also the anti-fingerprint coating is a plus. The cases I buy always have to have a lip but the screen protector is just in case.
This UAG case I have on my note 2 has saved my phone so so many times from being dropped 5ft in the air flat on its face.
The tech armor doesn't come close to covering the whole screen..piss
I have always been partial to invisisheilds. The extreme versions is what I've used on my pass galaxy devices. Then I moved to the glass version of their product on my note 3. It was perfectly clear had a life time warranty. I am looking forward to using the same for my note 4.
I bought the Envelop one. Thing isn't even big enough, just ordered a Spigen one.
I bought two Spigens based on reputation and price: $3.49 each (plus $5.00 shipping) at the early morning (ET) Amazon flash sale. If I had to pay full price, I'd also consider a non-glass solution, Rhino Shield.
Darn, I bought the tech armor glass last week. I guess it'll have to hold me over until better ones come out. I bought it direct from Techarmor.com and used promo code TechArmor2962 for 30% off. Came out to be $9. I bought the Spigen one for the iPhone 6 and it didn't cover the entire front either.
I am still debating on whether to buy screen protectors either glass or not as I haven't used screen protectors in years and everything I have/had was/is fine...
but seeing how the note 4 would be the most expensive mobile/handheld device I've bought and come to think of it probably the most expensive thing I have every bought in my life I might wanna protect it from here and back XD

Rhino Shield's website has a variety of videos persuasively showing the need for some kind of screen protection. As between their product and a good glass screen protector, there seem to be both pluses and minuses, so long as one is willing to accept the fact that, in an acute situation, the glass screen protector will be destroyed.
Any of the glass protectors available leave the space between the home button and the bottom of the phone exposed? I don't think I want a glass protector that encircles the home button because that would mean trouble for the fingerprint scanner as far as I can tell - a sticker for the home button would surely interfere with it.
Thanks!

For what it's worth, I have the Mime Ghost glass protector and it encircles the home button. It doesn't effect the finger print scanner at all. It works great.
With that being said, I can't recommend the Mime. Like other glass protectors thus far the sides are no where close to staying flush against the screen.

[Q] Tempered glass screen protector?

I know that the phone is fairly new, but does anyone know of available tempered glass screen protectors for the Droid Turbo other than the Verizon brand? Is there an ETA for anything so far? I usually just order through Amazon, but haven't seen anything that was noteworthy yet.

There are some difficulties in making a glass screen protector for the turbo's screen because of the curved glass edges. The issue is that the screen protector naturally wants to pull away to a flat like state. Because of this, you see very few companies offer tempered glass protectors for devices with the curved glass edges, and most people report a poor experience with them, as the edges release from the glass, thus making it easy for the screen protector to get pulled off.
A few solutions that have been tried are the company making the protector a bit smaller than the screen, to avoid the curved edge, but then you don't get full coverage, and have a sharp / noticeable edge from the screen protector. The other solution is to make it thinner / more pliable, but that raises its own issues (cost, loss of protective qualities).
I know Zagg is working hard on developing a tempered glass screen protector that will work with the curved glass screens, thanks to the iPhone 6 plus having this type of screen, but it could be awhile before they release it, let alone it trickles down to other devices. Once they figure it out, though, it should spread to other protectors (given most off brand protectors are made by one of the Chinese manufacturers of Zagg, just rebranding them, and likely lowering quality control a bit).
Okay, so I found 2 new entries on Amazon for the glass protectors. One is the Casebase brand and the other is the Orzly brand. The Casebase comes with 2 protectors and seems to have a better fit for the front-facing camera. I would post the links, but I'm a newbie so I can't yet. Lmk what you guys think about them.
Verizon has the tempered glass in their stores, I bought mine when I received the phone 2-3 days into the launch!

Looks like these are the thicker 9h ones with rounded edges too and the prices are rather cheap. I going to give it a few weeks until the crappy verizon tempered glass starts lifting then give one of these a shot. Thanks for posting!

I used a 85% off today. I can't remember what exactly it was but I just did a google search for coupon code.
I'm going to go ahead and try out the Xtremeguard Spartan tempered glass screen protector. I wish there was a 90% off coupon, but I settled with the 80% since I've been waiting on a decent glass protector for awhile now. I'll let you guys know how it is once I put it on, but I don't know if my opinion would be all that valid since this will be my first glass protector.
The Zagg glass for the iPhone 6, 6 plus, and Note 4 with curved screens are already available and work perfectly. I would say the fact that it isn't currently available for the Turbo has more to do with it being a Verizon exclusive than anything else.

I just looked up the one for the six and six plus. What are they doing that's different from anyone else? Its just smaller then they call it case friendly lol I expected some new technology on the curve I guess. The only solution I've ever seen for tempered glass on a curved screen as they just make it smaller so it doesn't reach the curve.

It isn't really noticeable while just looking at the product, but the Zagg's now have a curvature equal to that of the curve of the screen. The first wave of Zagg Glass panels for the 6, 6+, and Note 4 were all defective. They peeled up at the edges and would never lay down completely flat (I work for Best Buy I install 30-50 of them a week.) The second round of shipments had ironed out whatever kinks were causing the imperfect fit.

I'm confused as to why you would want a screen protector on a Gorilla Glass screen with a free replacement warranty? Is there something I'm missing, or is there something else special about these tempered glass screen protectors?
As for me, I've never broken or even scratched a screen in the last 10 years. Guess I'm lucky.

I used to be one of those people too. I had never cracked a screen in my life because I always take care of my phone, but it all changed when it happened to my HTC One. Accidents happen and I'd rather lose a screen protector than have to use that free screen replacement. I think 10 bucks is a reasonable price to spend to protect a $600-700 phone, especially when i plan on keeping it for the foreseeable future. I still don't completely understand using bulky cases, but that's probably because I baby my phone.
Spartan glass received today - put it on and took it off - the curved glass edges do not stick and looks terrible - asking for refund

I have never carried a screen protector on my phone previously either as I felt the quality was utter **** on them and I won't look at one with bubbles and crap in it.
The tempered glass ones don't peel up or bubble (when they are not defective and are installed correctly.) They are PERFECTLY clear, don't obscure the screen at all, and they feel just like touching the actual screen. I truly consider them to be poor man's insurance.
Gotcha. 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?

Best Galaxy Note 5 Tempered Glass Screen protecter

Gong to have a note 5 and looking for opinions on the best tempered glass screen protector out for it. I don't care much about which brand as I most likely wont be getting official glass at a high cost...

I think I am going to wait till RhinoShield makes one.
I've used several Mime's in the past. I love them except the price is a bit high. Very thin and the feel is smoother than glass.
The Mime for GN5 is not yet available, but should be soon.

Actually mine shipped and is going to be delivered Thursday. I like Mime's Feather glass as it's so thin - unfortunately they don't seem to be making it for their newer phones.
I would have preferred iloome or other cheaper, name brands, but Mime was the only known brand who was ready to ship. I've never liked the no name brands on Amazon.
Oh snap, they are now available. I just ordered one. Be here Friday and I will pick up phone Friday as well.

From another thread
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...otectors-p/galaxy-note-5-screen-protector.htm
Not sure how good xtremeguard is, but if you use code WAVE90 you get 90% off store that gets you the spartan tempered glass for $3.50 shipped.
I went through 2 mime ghost glass screen protectors on my gs4. Then I switched to zerolemon less expensive and free replacements . Mime charges half price for thier replacements.
Skinomi glass has halo around the whole phone. Do not order this protector
Same thing with the Mime Ghost glass - halo all around. From experience with the Note 4, I think it's pretty safe to say vendors who have protectors at launch are just guessing. Due to the slight curve, I'm guessing everyone will have to do a new rev now that the phone is out.
I got the Glass ZAGG InvisibleShield from Verizon. It was a bit expensive but there is no halo and it has a lifetime warranty if it starts to come off or anything. It seems to be sticking well with the Otterbox Commuter case.

Is that glass? I remember my last invisible shield, once you wrote with the 's pen it left indentions in the shield. It showed all you spen writing.

Yes, I will agree with you that the ZAGG tempered glass from VZW was fantastic on my Note 4. Now that I have the Note 5 I will be getting it again but I am specifically waiting for the privacy tempered glass to come available. Being that I travel frequently the privacy works better for me with wondering eyes

Yes, it's glass and the pen works fine with it on. After reading your post I'm glad BestBuy wouldn't sell me the plastic invisiblesheild on Wednesday when I went there. They said I had to wait until Friday so I went to Verizon and bought the glass instead.
Did anyone try the generic verizon glass screen protector? $40 bucks is too rich for me for a Zagg.
Best Buy went through FIVE Zagg HD Glass before someone stepped in and got it perfect on the first try...the others just didn't know what they were doing.
Zero halo around the edges and zero loose edges.
There was also a video on here of the Supershieldz Ballistic Tempered Glass being installed on the N5 with no halo at all either. Seems we could add that to the list and hopefully as more people acquire the N5 it remains this way

I got the verizon generic glass. Comes with a nice halo for free!!

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.
