Hi,
I am looking for a screen protector for the Galaxy Nexus that feels as near as possible to glass? I like the glassy feeling while using the device and I would hate to have something rubbery instead. I understand the value of a screen protector and I am looking for something that feels the least like rubber i.e. more like glass and less like rubber.
Thank you,
O. O.

I ordered one, they still haven't shipped yet. Just answering the OP's question, I think glass is what would "feel as near as possible to glass"
I wonder how high over the bezel this will go?
I like this idea, but the LCD is already low enough in the glass, this is just creating more of a gap.
I am really interested in a review though.
just go on you tube and look up sgp glass youll know what the tempered glass screen protector is basically like
Thanks let me know when you get it

Thanks Alex1123 Yes, I am looking for a "tempered glass" screen protector for the Galaxy Nexus. Do you have any clue who sells them.
I went to the SGP website and they clearly have a Tempered Glass screen protector for the IPhone 4 e.g. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/ap...tor-glas-t-premium-tempered-glass-series.html
On the other hand they do not seem to have this for the Galaxy Nexus e.g. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/google.html this is their list. They have other screen protectors - but not the tempered glass version which I want.
Do you know of any other brands that sell tempered glass screen protector for the Galaxy Nexus Phone?
Thank you,
O. O.

Dear Big Cam
While we are waiting for EvilOlivE to receive his screen protector I wanted to make two points:
First, the link posted above http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/fantom mentions that the screen protector has a thickness of 0.4 mm. I am not experienced with smart phones, so do you think this would still cause a problem.
Second, the article at http://www.droid-life.com/2012/06/1...ectors-for-the-galaxy-nexus-up-for-pre-order/ mentions that you should use coupon code NEXUSFTW to get $5 off. This is just in case someone else is ordering.

Ive been using screen protector since i got my nexus, early this year. but after seeing my friend who has a HTC Sensation, with no screen protection for over a year, and his screen is really scratch less, made me rip off the protector and just enjoy my device ! now myself im advertising for everyone to remove their screen protectors , by showing all my friends around with a live example how good the screens are already by taking car key and sliding it over my screen multiple times and no scratches are left on the screen.

I wouldnt have done that if I were you. Our phone's screens are strong, but not as strong as gorilla glass. I dropped my nexus 4 days after I got it with no case and screen protector. They were still getting shipped from online. It dropped from average chair height and fell out of my lose pockets from my basketball shorts. No damage or anything on the phone except a 4 very little dings and a scratch near the front camera. I was lucky it wasnt on the camera or on the screen. It was on the black border. I'd say our screens are 3/4 or 2/3 as stong as the average phone with gorilla glass.
Well....just be careful wut ever u do Cuz.....a co worker from A friend of mine bought his nexus online had it for a week.....dropped it....a thin ....long crack resembling a backwards "c" formed on his screen......he paid 500-ish.....total for his phone....I paid him 200.....everything..phone..box ..cables....brand new everything...just the crack on the screen....be care full...might be scratch resistant....but not too sure Bout shocks....

Wow, $30 for screen protector! One would almost want a screen protector for this screen protector at this price . I also wonder (when it ships) how it would play with curved glass on Galaxy Nexus. The curve is not big but glass is not as flexible as regular film.
For what it matters, I went with real cheappo $4 for 5 film and I like it better, sensitivity wise then naked screen. It's smoother and finger can glide on it without getting stuck like on glass. Plus I can attest for anti-glare quality. I can finally run my Nexus in the car at 25% brightness even in the broad daylight and can still clearly see the screen.

Well, watching the video of the one for the iphone, it does bend a bit. So maybe that will help.
At least, I'd hope so.

The guy from the company who makes these posted on the forum (the thread was closed because of the advertising rule) showing the a glass protector for a smaller screen applied on the Nexus to prove that it works with the curved screen. It seems to work fine.
My only reservation with the protector right now is how well the edges would work and how easy it is to apply. Normally I would buy a pair of protectors in case I screw the first one up, but at the price I would have to think twice about it.

On their website, they say there will be cut out for LED. I assume that is for the notification. And I watched a YouTube video where a guy demonstrates applying it and also taking it off with his nails. It seems very easy enough with no residues left on the screen.

I use cheap ones from ebay. I prefer the matte so there's no glare. I dont suggest you using cheap non matte from ebay on the s3. it works fine. i've tried the cheap non glare-no brand, but it makes the S2 have a bubble effect though there are no bubbles underneath. i got 3 for 2$ shipped from a chinesemen in the U.S. i'm assuming. =P
I use ghost armor. The screen protector is very solid and covers the entire screen. I got the gun metal carbon finder finish on the back and sides. Gives it a nice grip like I had on the s2.

Hi, just got my Note 10.1 LTE. Should we really use a screen guard?? by the way I hate those.. I never used a screen protector in my Galaxy S - its been 3years without any scratch.
My note 10.1 came with a free screen guard (SuperGuard - Clear for Note 10.1 2014) from my vendor. And I checked documentation for the devce.. didn't find Gorilla Glass mentioned anywhere.. so the question is - should we really use a screen protector for Note 10.1 2014?
Comments and your experience please..
Screen protectors required?
Hi Guys,

This was my answer to a similar question on another thread....hope it helps....
My brother has never used any screen protectors on his devices and they all have pristine screens, I on the other hand have a few scratches on my S3 but that's only because I work in an Engineering environment where there are all sorts of materials flying about plus I no longer care tbh and use the phone even with dirty hands.
To be honest considering how much I use my phone its actually done pretty well, I have a 1cm long deep scratch and about 4 really light scratches that are barely noticeable and I've had the phone since release.
If your going to just use it in the house I would say you don't need one but you never know.
P.S. I don't think that really answers your question but still atleast you have something to think about haha

I've seen reviews and spec lists for the 2014 Note around the web that specify that it has Gorilla Glass 3. The Samsung website does not mention the glass at all, but that does not mean it doesn't have it.
I have an HP Touchpad which has Gorilla Glass 1. It never saw a screen protector and it doesn't have a scratch on it.
I do not intend to put a screen protector on my Note.
It has now seen three cases already though. So far I like the Poetic slimline best.

the old 6 of one half a dozen of the other
i agree about the strengths of modern day screens
gorilla glass or not
but i find without a screen the fingerprints are harder to clean as i use mine for drawing etc
i had my P600 with a screen and without a screen and then i put a screen back on
i use Benks screens (anti fingerprints - and it really makes a difference)...... love em.......
if you put on a cheap screen then you wont know what i am talking about
i can understand if people dont use em.....
cheers all and love my P600

There was a long thread on this on AndroidCentral. One person was told by Samsung Technical Support that it had Gorilla Glass 3, and another was told it has a Samsung plated glass that is just as good.
I guess either way it's pretty tough glass. I saw a test on Gorilla Glass 2, it's a lot tougher than any tablet or phone needs.

Screen protectors don't prevent a screen from cracking, they only prevent the screen from scratches.
Never had one on a phone/tablet...and never needed one. They make the screen look crap IMO (unless you're extremely good and make sure there are no air bubbles). But then I still hate them! If it was that vital to have one, Samsung would include one by default.

Not necessarily true. Zagg xtreme shields specifically state that they add impact resistance as do just like glass screen protectors. Tempered glass protectors also do A LOT to increase the chance of your devices screen surviving a fall. Hope this was helpful.

I'm not trying to start an arguement here lol but I honestly dont see how a screen protector can prevent a screen from cracking, what it will do is keep the glass in place when it does crack which is a good thing in such an incident.
I understand however anyone who has used a tempered glass protector will swear by their ability to keep a screen from cracking. I theory they absorb the impact and crack then selves rather than letting your screen crack. Personally they have saved my own devices over a half dozen times. So in practice if certainly seems to work. Some such as MIME Ghost Glass actually are harder and more scratch resistant than Gorilla glass 3 and many believe feel better than their stock screens. While this is all anecdotal and opinion you will find a huge number of people on these forums staunchly defending them. That being said, I have yet to put any screen protector on my Note 2014 as always hope this was helpful.

Order 10.5 " tablet yesterday. Will be get it tomorrow. By going through specifications i realise that this one don't gorilla glass. Does tablet has other kind of scratch resistant protection? As i pay too much on this i have no mood to spend some more money for now for buying scratch guard or tempered glass.
Stop being cheap and get a screen protector. My tablet has gorilla glass and I still put a protector on it. It's not scratch proof only scratch resistant.

A protector is virtually mandatory. Tempered glass is best IMO. Worth the extra few bucks.

Have had my sm-t700 for a lil over 6 months now never used a screen protector and I have zero scratches. I do use the samsung slim case for it so i'm guessing that's helps. I do tend to clean my screen with my shirt or whatever is handy on a daily basis and I swear it looks the same as the day I took it out of it's new box. Must say i'm really impressed.

Screen protectors (especially tempered glass) are like insurance. You may never need them but when/if you do they're irreplaceable. Besides, for 10 bucks or so to protect a $400 tab? Where's the downside?

Yes u r right. I got it at for half of launch price. Quickly brought it without any thought. Even my old xperia tab was working perfectly. Watching movies on amoled is awesome
I know there is already a screenprotector on inside big display. Im wondering if we can apply another one on top it. Case last year oleophobic coating on my fold 3 weared of after 3 to 4 months it was so rash or hard to touch and not smooth anymore. So this time thinkinf of applying another layer on stock one so that i can chamge it every 4 or 5 months to keep it smooth and clean
So is it possible? Does anyone have good screen protector suggestions? I purchased the below and for inside screen
https://amzn.eu/d/hEUw6Xa
If you did apply another screen protector(sp) on top of the current one, it would just come off with current sp. Basically what I'm saying is if and when it wears down; either buy another sp or send it to samsung for a replacement. Have had several sp with my fold 3 2 being actual glass and 2 film. Which whitestone kept making the glass one because that felt way better than the film but both eventually broke

For those asking saying there isn't a screen protector on the large screen, that's incorrect. In Comparison to the Fold 3, on the Fold 4 the screen protector stretches under the board of the display make sure it doesn't peel off at the corners like a common problem with the Fold 3.
I don't believe this is correct. I have my Fold 4 and I can see the edges of the SP the whole way around the inside screen

You can add a screen protector on the inside cause it is getting scratched easily, so an extra layer of the protector is not an issue cause I use Gadgetshieldz protector on mine and I have no issues with touch sensitivity, also this protector can self-heal the scratches that occur on it!

No, I had this screen protector on my Fold 3 and was using it for more than 7 months then I peeled off the protector for exchange and the one applied by Samsung didn't come off!
The cut-out is good so no problem at the crease also there was no line shown in the middle of the display where it folds. I applied it and left it for 2-4 hours as instructed in the package and then it stuck well to the screen!

I took off the Spigen one. I found it a bit too small and all the dust stuck on the edges of it got to me. Using some cheaper off brand one that covers the screen more fully and loving it much more. Also black edge at the end of screen protector is nice too no more staring at dust at the edges of the screen protector like I had to see on the spigen one.
