My Zagg Screen Protector review

I just got it today. I only got the face shield part, as I have a body-glove case for the phone, and don't need much protection except for the face.
It was $14.99 (for just the face). Yeah, it's kind of expensive, but I'm happy with the product. I had it on my Samsung Moment, and it definitely helped. I'd used other screen protectors before with other phones, and they always seemed to not work well. The corners would come up, or they just didn't protect the screen.
The Zagg works really well, in that it's almost like a rubber. It stuck to my Moment like epoxy. The only problem was my own fault, i let some specs of dust get on the screen just before I put it on, so I was left with a few tiny bubblee and some slight wrinkle marks from peeling it off and re-applying it about 6 times.
Anyways, I just installed the one on my Evo. This being my second Zagg invisble shield, I had a little bit of a better time getting it on. I did get a slight fingerprint on the bottom corner. I would suggest makiing sure your fingers are wet while doing this, or maybe wearing a rubber/plastic bag glove. Turn the phone off before anything. Then I made sure the shield was soaked before applying it. It was easy to slide the shield into place once it was on the phone. Make sure to line up the top around the front camera and prox. sensor. Then just squeegie everything. Make sure to not squeegie too much water upwards, try to keep water out of the speaker. Always try to keep the face of the shield wet while using the squeegie, to prevent scratching or moving the shield. If you mess up and see a spec of dirt or something underneith, you can peel the shield off within 3-5 minutes and re-apply. Make sure your fingers and the shield are wet again before the re-apply.
Mine turned out good. I'm happy with it.

Yep I like mine . Some people complain they are too rubbery. Mine is fine, just took a little over a week to break in.

I just bought some cheap ones on Ebay. They shipped it to me fast, and it seems to be working fine... I had the same cheapy on my mogul, and had no complaints.
The ebay co. gave me a coupon code for 10% off. Here- my contribution to this site:

Returned mine to Best Buy, too rubbery.

I have three EVO's and I put the Zagg on all three. I made sure to keep a paper towel handy on application and picked up all excess water from the squeegie areas. Be sure to apply the spray on your fingers and on top the screen to aid in a perfect "laydown" of the screen.
I've had no problems on any of the screens. The Zagg screen is a nice product.

Yea but how long did you have it on for?

the BodyGuardz that I placed on my EVO already raised in a corner. I had tried them cause folks had said the Zagg had too much orange peel. which I can see on my mp3 player . is the Zagg phone shield less orange peelish than that of a small mp3 shield?
I'm very pleased with the Zagg on the mp3 player...that stuff is awesome.

I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but mine got all scratched up in like 2 days. I didn't have a case on the phone at the time because radioshack didn't have any at time of purchase.
The phone had NO scratches and the Zagg got giant ones through the whole screen protector from what looks like my left thumb nail. My phone goes in my left pants pocket, so there is nothing else there. I had a Zagg on an mp3 a while back and had none of these issues. I don't know if I got a bum one or what, but it was promptly returned after a few days.
Has anyone else had issues with it getting really scratched up in just a normal use scenario? The guy at the store was shocked when he saw it as he uses the zagg products as well.

my mp3 player has a scratch line across its zagg shield. it acquired this scratch as part of demonstration i did for someone. (i'd done this demo a few times and all scratches had healed themselves). this time it was hit as hard as i dared to without fear of busting it. that scratch remains...the only scratch that has been unable to heal itself.

I Zagg my screen, and it's got my vote. I typically abuse my phones but this is my first smartphone, so I wanted to care for it. It did take a couple days to settle in. When I used it on day one I thought for sure I'd remove it because it felt way too rubbery.

Sometimes I've got what looks and feels like a surprisingly awful gash, but a solid scrubbing with my shirt dissolves it quickly. I think because it's kind of gummy it collects crap now and then. Also, anything that presses on the skin (a nail, or something as minute as a crumb if I set the thing face down) leaves an indentation that lasts for an hour or so.
Only down side is that it does feel a little rubbery once in a while. I can't tell if it's humidity or what causes it. It's usable, and I can deal with it to keep my screen pristine.

you only get the rubbery feeling when the screen is absolutely clean.
It only works if it has oil on it. Say... the oil from your skin. Rub it on your cheek and then wipe it with a lint free cloth... and it will be nice and smooth again.
I think that's why it doesn't show fingerprints nearly as much.

I had it on there for 4 days

I had the full body kit on my old HTC Fuze and put a screen protector only on my EVO. I discovered a problem that I didn't have with my old phone though.
I ride a sportbike and use a tankbag to carry my stuff to work every day. Since the EVO is a much bigger phone, it didn't fit in the phone pocket, so I have been keeping it in the map pocket, which is a large pocket with a clear plastic covering. Well the other day it was hot and the top clear cover of the pocket stuck to the ZAGG on the EVO and when I removed the EVO from the pocket it pulled the ZAGG right off.
I planned to do a warranty replacement but I didn't know you have to send in the old cover so, I'm SOL. I've now got a Kindle screen protector that I cut to fit. It's matte and perfectly smooth. It'll do until I can order a nicer one online (it does cause a little distortion as it's really low quality but it was also dirt cheap at Wal-mart so it'll suffice for now).

Can we get some pics of it installed? I had this on my iPhone and HTC Hero but took it off because of the "slipperiness" of the screen... I don't like how my finger got slightly stuck sometimes.

If you find a good way to mount it to your bars, please send me a PM and let me know!
I'd love to get mine mounted up high so I can see GPS directions and record video/snap pics too.

I use Swype on my Evo and the invisibleShield was sticky enough to mess with my input. I had it for about a week and a half, but I ended up getting another screen protector. I kept the back and side parts on.
I still have invisibleShield on my iPod Touch, and it is great. It was just that Swype so was much harder to use with invisibleShield.\
Edit:
BTW, OP, if you get dust or something on the invisibleShield during installation, usually run the sticky side under a faucet for a bit and that tends to help.

Mine already has scratches after only two weeks of use. And I am still careful where I place my phone. First go around with Zagg. I have used bestskinsever.com for couple of my old devices. It was better. And I might go back to it.

My Zagg Screen Protector review (WITH PICS)
here are pictures of mine. I took these pictures with my old blackberry curve, as I don't have any other camera. I can get a bigger size of these from my flickr account, if needed. I figure you should be able to see this and get a pretty good idea.
literally smooth as glass

you can kinda see the edges of the screen protector here.
I know these shots are NOT very good, its only the blackberry camera! but the screen protector quality doesnt look much different in real life. Its a good protector.

I use Zagg on my Evo, and my old phone & iPod, and they've always worked good and never really felt rubbery to me. They will feel kinda sticky, or rubbery, if your fingers are sweaty or wet, and your pushing hard. If you're not pressing hard on the screen, your finger still glides across the screen.
I haven't had issues with the Zagg protectors getting scratched, although if you leave them in your pocket with keys or something like that, and pressure gets applied it can leave a imprint that can be hard to get out, although usually scrubbing the area with your finger for a while helps get it out.
On my old phone, I replaced the screen protector once because it did start to come up from the screen, and then pocket lint got under it and it got worse. At first I just cut the 'infected' area off, but it continued. I suppose checking your protector for flaws like that and doing what you can to stop them before they start is a good idea.
Anyways, when I took the protector off, it was difficult and when I took it off it stretched out a bit and it wouldn't have fit back onto my device if I had chosen to reapply it. It also was a bit "orange" or brownish. I didn't notice the discoloration while it was on the device though. So that wasn't an issue to me.
I put the protector on for both my device, and my dads device. When I put the shield on my dads device it didn't go on as smooth as mine (you can't tell there's anything on it really, there're a few very minor imperfections). His screen protector has some bubbles under it, and I can't figure out why. You can kinda feel the screen being a bit rougher, but my dad says that he doesn't notice them, or feel them, and they're not a problem for him (he is kinda old though >_>).
I suppose that's what I have to say about the screen protector, but I'm definitely going to watch for the screen peeling up, and coming off.
I think that Zagg is a great product as long as you can put it on correctly, and keep up a little maintenance on it, like making sure bubbles on the edges don't form, and such.
Sorry 'bout it being a long post, but meh.

I had the full body shield installed on my phone last friday. only when i got home did i notice there were these vertical lines/streaks showing up on the screen part. it is much more noticeable on a white background and at certain angles it kinda has a rainbow effect to it.
i brought it back today and the "installer" said that that is common for their screen protectors and was hesitant to replace it. i wouldn't really bother about it but the lines are all over and distracting, there are even a couple right smack in the middle of the screen!
i've used invisible shields on my other phones and never had issues like this.
anyone with similar experiences/problems?

AT&T screen protector corner radius is off

A bit of caution when picking out screen protectors
I had to cut the edges on my AT&T screen protectors due to the nature of the soft back which when pressure is applied to the front causes lifting on the screen protector's 4 corners. The dimensions are fine but the radius is too small for the corners causing them to protrude ... just cut them a little but I would have preferred to have 100% perfect screen protectors instead of half assed ones from AT&T ... why am I not surprised.

I purchased the same protector. I have the same issue as well. Makes it look really cheap with the corners sticking up.

I had that, plus since I am opening mine a LOT for hacking, the bottom looks like crap.
Looks like I am going to replace the protector within a week of getting the phone.

Just wrap the whole phone in plastic wrap with the back off. Then slip it on.
Bad idea most likely, but it would be funny if it worked well.

same issue. Trimmed the corners. It doesn't look that great, but doesn't peel up when i hit the corner on something. I'm on the third protector already. First one i screwed up the orientation and got dust under it when fixing. second peeled up when i hit one of the corners.

must be those poor quality screen protector. there us not much of an option atm. i would rather get a HTC HD mini screen protector and punch a hole on it.

I just had Ghost Armor put on my iPhone 3G (which I'm handing to my daughter when my Aria comes in). It's pretty nice, but the Aria isn't showing up on their website yet. And you would only really want to get the screen done, since you open up the phone to get to the battery and the SD Card.

Yep, I cut them carefully and used the scotch tape method to get perfect placement.

Can you elaborate on the "scotch tape method"?

I ordered invisible gadget guard from amazon. Havent put it on yet, but that packaging sure makes it look impressive.

Before separating the films I placed tape to use as handles to apply the protector flat (instead of holding it).
Then after layed down on the screen pulled up and slid tape underneath to attract any particles which cause bubbles. Slide with sticky side face up so it pulls from the protector's sticky film (rarely do the particles stick to the screen itself).

Has anybody noticed the quality of these are not that great?
Have had on for 3 days. There are a LOT of scratches on the protector itself. I usually keep phone in jean pockets with a wallet.
Anybody plan on trying the Amzer ones, although I have heard their quality may be dubious too for the n1.

I ordered this, and it shipped today. I got my 8 GB card in the mail today, too. I kind of wished I had gotten a 16 GB card, since my whole music collection is about 8 GB. But I may pick up another 8 GB as my "backup film roll" at a later time.

I can't believe I didn't figure out this solution earlier. Obviously, trimming the excess on the corners would solve the issue, but I wasn't comfortable using a razor blade to make the trims. But just 5 minutes ago, it occurred to me to use a nail clipper (while already installed on the phone, and the back plate removed). Worked perfectly, was super easy, and did no damage to the phone.

Yeah that didnt occur to me either. I used small crafting scissors.

Same thing happened to me, just on the bottom corners though, but as soon as I put my case on it covered up those bubbles, cant even see it. Quality of the protector seems to be decent. I used a universal one prior and it was ****!
I ordered the stealth guard though for the phone (full body protection) just now so when that comes I'll let you guys know how that works out as well.

I used the Invisible Gadget Guard that someone else mentioned (got it off ebay though, not amazon, it's the exact same one however). The quality of it is definitely top notch, I've had it on for a little over a month now and it has no scratches/marks that are visible without actually looking for them and even then there are minimal and very minor ones. My one complaint with it is the top two corners did start to peel a bit, I ended up peeling it up a tad and cutting them (with difficulty, this thing is tough!) and reapplying that part and I haven't had a problem since! I do have a few blemishes down the left side due to my clumsiness during the initial applicaton, but the case covers it for the most part

i tried the invisisheild and did not like the rubbery feel, got at t sheild it is a hard plastic and fingers slide much better, yes i had to trim but no big deal there. all you have to do is put the protector on the phone with back cover off, then take a new sharp razor blade at about 50 degree angle to the edge of glass and trim excess off. 3 months now and have not lifted any corners. these are much better than the rubber vinly covers that tend to stretch and need trimming as well.

Being the one that turned most of you on to XtremeGuard screen and full body protectors with that crazy deal they had going for 75% off and free shipping here in the States, I think I need to do my own review of the product so here goes.
Battery cover
First and foremost, yes the cut of this cover allows for removal of the battery cover. Upon initial inspection of the cover I noticed some black specs along the edges as most others have mentioned. As for the cut of the cover, it's not perfect but it's close enough to where I didn't need to modify or cut it in any way to allow it to fit. I don't know how they go about cutting these things but one area they can improve on would be the cuts, I'd like to see more clean, smooth and precise cuts free of "hiccups" or jagged edges. One are in particular that stands out is the area around the charging port, will post pics once the cover is done curing. Another is the corners...I don't know what, if anything, can be done to decrease the gap around the corners but I'd like to see that exposed area there made smaller as well. Lastly, the area that surrounds the camera, speaker and flash is cut with some pecuilar angles I'd guess to ensure maximum coverage. I would prefer something that follows the contours and general shape of the items in that area more closely....those items in that area have more of a rounded square shape so I think if that cutout followed the same outline it would be much more uniform and cosmetically appealing.
Installation:
The install is very straight forward, relatively easy, but requires patience.
Prep
Gather up a small bowl, something just large enough for you to dip you fingers in freely, a microfiber towel (a cleaning cloth that came with a screen protector will suffice), some soap (I prefer Johnson & Johnson Baby shampoo), the squeegee that came with your protector and of course, the protector itself.
This was my first time installing the full body protector and I wanted to minimize dust contamination so I followed the advice of one of our more experienced members and did the install in my bathroom with it all steamed up from the hot shower I had running. I forget his name, sorry, but if you read this let me know and I'll credit you The idea behind doing this is that the steam and humidity in the room will hold the dust down. So after steaming up the room (I just let the shower run the whole time honestly, about 10-15 minutes) I washed my hands and cleaned off the protector under warm tap water to try and get rid of as many of those black specs as possible, removed the cutout for the camera, speaker and flash. Dried off my hands one I was happy with the results and cleaned the battery cover, which of course had been removed from the phone, making sure not to get any fingerprints on it. Set that aside and fill up your bowl with warm water (1 cup is plenty) and add a drop or two of baby shampoo, gently stirring it in the water to avoid bubbles. Dip all your fingers in the water and then peel the backing off the protector, then dip the protector in the bowl to coat it with the mixture and lay it down on the battery cover. No need to be precise with this initial placement, but precise enough to ensure the cover doesn't touch anything else like the counter. I'd suggest laying it down from top to bottom, this will ensure minimal air bubbles get trapped under there. Once it's on there you'll be able to move it around to get it where it needs to be and once you do so you can begin working it to get out as much of the water and bubbles as possible. Because of the way I laid it down I had very little air bubbles or water trapped under there so I decided I'd just use my fingers, didn't use the squeegee at all but you can if you choose. Instead of rubbing or dragging my fingers across the protector, which can cause it to move ever so slightly, I "rolled" my fingers in the trouble areas where I seen an air bubble or gathering of moisture. Once I spotted the area I would take my thumb and set it down on it's side, just off to the side of the area, and roll it over the area as if taking a fingerprint. Don't be shy, press as hard as need be. I prefer this technique as it virtually eliminates any marring of the protector and ensures it stays in place at the same time. You will spend much of this time trying to get the corners and the top/bottom edges to lay down, take your time. You may even need to hold said areas down for a few minutes each but they will eventually start to hold. After you think you've got it, recheck your work and make sure you have no lifted edges and that everything is lined up nicely and set it aside. I put mine out in the direct sunlight for a couple hours to help speed up the process.
Screen protector
Preinspection turned up some black particles again, grrrr.....This is a QC issue and i'm going to bring it up to them and hope they make the changes needed to ensure it gets rectified. Not a big deal though, just washed it off as best as i could before installing. The cuts again aren't the ultimate in precision but it does cover the whole screen....just for clarity, there are cutouts for the earpiece, one of the sensors up top and the home button, these cutouts are in the shape of a U so there are exposed areas where those cutouts are. But top to bottom, side to side, the whole screen, beveled edge and all, are covered except for those areas. The only thing I did differently is applied a piece of scotch tape over the camera lens...this was to prevent possible damage to it as I had the phone sitting on the counter at the beginning of the install. Install is the same as listed above, however this time I did use the squeegee because I had to lift the protector once after the initial lay down which caused much more air bubbles and water pockets. So once I got the protector in place by sliding it around I grabbed the cleaning cloth and pressed down firmly on the area by the earpiece and home button to absorb as much water from those areas as possible and using the squeegee I worked it side to side to minimize the water concentration around those two areas, making sure to absorb any significant water being expelled during the process. MAKE SURE TO DRY YOUR HANDS AFTER GETTING THE INITIAL LAY DOWN DONE! You will be handling the phone and don't want wet fingers touching your SIM card or microSD card slots, let alone the battery connectors. After getting 99% of the water/bubbles out and being happy with the coverage of the protector I used the cloth to absorb any water build up along the edges and to ensure the protector was pressed down nicely all along the outside edge of the screen. This was a much quicker install, maybe 5 minutes. It is not resting outside next to the battery cover in direct sunlight to expedite the curing process.
Pics will be posted once the curing process is done, most likely not until late this evening or even tomorrow.

Nah, I'd have pushed you aside and showed you how to do it in 5 minutes
I used J&J when I installed the XG on my Atrix 2 and it worked out nicely so it's gonna be my go to soap for this until it somehow shows me it's not worthy.

Well, looks like i'm gonna have to peel this one off and go at it again. I got 2 specks of dust on the screen, one close to the middle and one on the bottom right Other than that, looks good and feels good too. No distortion, banding or any other clarity defects. It's not quite the smooth as glass finish as the one on my Atrix 2 but it's very, very close. No orange peel or anything like that but if you look close enough at an angle in direct light reflections you can see some very slight texture. If it weren't for that damn specs of dust, I'd be satisfied.
After using the TriboScreen for a week I kind of like the feel of those. The feel of these wet application protectors is a bit tacky, not enough to impede using the screen but not nearly as slick and smooth as the dry application type. Not really an issue to me if the protector covers every square inch of the screen since I have a Silicrylic case on it so i'm strongly considering giving a dry application protector another shot since I have 2 more XtremeGuards which I can always fall back on if need be.
Any suggestions on a nice dry application protector?

I like the XG too, it would be perfect if not for the 2 specs of dust that got caught under it, grrrr. I just wish it were more invisible cause when tilted at an angle I can see some superfine texture....cant feel it, its more like waves or swirls in the material itself instead of being completely transparent. Think im gonna try a different one to see if there's better out there.

I've got that rainbow banding something fierce, all over the screen, its bad Gonna slap on the protector that came with my case to see how that is, this one's gotta go, cant even wait till my Realook's get here. Very disappointed

i-Blason 0.24mm 8H Tempered glass screen protector review.

Hey guys, having been a die-hard fan of SGP ultra crystal screen protectors for all the devices in the home (Evo LTE, One, iPhone 4(s), Asus TF101), I was a little disappointed to learn from another thread here that SGP didn't have plans to bring their tempered glass screen protector to our shiny new N7 FHDs. I had checked out the SGP model on my friend's Note 2 and decided that on my next device i would give one of these a try. Luckily i-Blason came to the rescue with their version of a tempered glass screen protector and here's my review, I hope it will be helpful and perhaps answer some questions.
The protector was packaged in a plastic folder frame and came in a padded envelope. On the inside it had the regular microfiber square, squeegee, and the protector itself in a paper sleeve as well as the protective plastic on both sides.

Immediately I noticed how much thicker and stiffer it was compared to the dry apply plastic ones. I tried to flex it a bit and of course being at that thickness, it did have a small amount of give but overall pretty hard. I tried to get a picture of how thick it is compared to an SGP Ultra Crystal for the HTC One that i had lying around, but the photos don't really illustrate too well the difference between the two. The first is the i-Blason, second is the SGP.
Looking at the screen protector itself I thought there were holes for the camera and the sensors, however it was actually the case that it was actually just thinner at those parts in the back, the front is one continuous piece with no holes in it. This came as a surprise to me as I was expecting holes, but given how thick it is and its stiffness, it was a good call on their part.
I used the hinge method, and scotch taped any particles of dust out of the way. My house is pretty dusty so it actually seemed like the hover method might have worked better, ymmv. Once you get it in place, due to its stiffness its actually pretty easy to lift up without worrying about bending the corner.
I got it on there properly aligned, but as you can see in some of the photos there are some spots where the adhesive just didn't seem to want to stick too well. I've had this issue in the past with a few of my SGP protectors, so i would just guess its the silicone adhesive not being completely uniform on the underside. The issue is cosmetic and does not affect the display sensitivity or the quality once the screen is lit.
Heres some photos of the 4 corners after I was done. The cut was very precise and everything lined up perfectly.
Heres a picture of it from profile after installation. I am slightly worried about the fact that it does stick up a bit from the bezel, but given that my friend's Note 2 is pocketed and his is just as thick, there shouldn't be any problems with lifting, especially since I intend on having it in a case when I'm out and about. Something to think about though if you're the kind of user that doesn't like cases ruining the looks of your device.
And finally, I tried my best to take before and after photos of the same screen on max brightness. We all know that trying to take a photo of a screen is usually a futile endeavor in regards to showing distortion of screen protectors, but what the hell here they are for the sake of completeness.
Can you tell which is which? I can't so i guess thats a good thing.
I don't think I've seen many complaints if at all regarding the fact that the screen is too slippery. I know that at this dpi and this smaller screen size typing is more difficult as the already oversensitive screen registers even the tiniest movements as a swipe. This screen protector actually brings that slipperiness down, to about the same as all my other devices naked. Looking forward to using my device more now as I didn't care too much for the super slippery glass. I was in an excited hurry to write up this review as I know there are others that were curious about his product and I'm willing to bet they probably have only a smidge more patience than I.
TL;DR: I was skeptical of this screen protector as I have never heard of nor had any experience with the brand, however I wanted to try something new, and i'm glad it turned out well so far. If i had to give this thing a score, it would have to be a 4.5 out of 5 due to the spots on the screen that didn't quite stick completely and thus introduced some visual artifacts.
PROS:
Thick, the hardness probably won't do much against a drop on the side, but it might protect it better than a dry apply plastic protector and not have the orange peel or rubber feeling of wet apply protectors.
Easy to install: The stiffness makes installation via the hinge method a breeze. Lifting corners to get rid of dust after you get it aligned is also painless as theres little risk of bending it like with plasic protectors.
More scratch resistant? I didn't want to try it with a key test, but i'm hoping given its 8H rating that it will maintain its pristine appearence longer than my SGPs, which admittedly scratch when you breathe on them.
Its glass, you're basically putting another screen on top of your screen, thats like strapping another car in front of your car to protect its front.
CONS:
Price: when I bought this on amazon it was 20 bucks, it has since gone up to 25. Last time i checked the SGP crystal clear is priced at 13 per piece on their website. This is almost twice the price, but if it lasts through the life of 2 SGPs and still looks awesome, its totally worth it.
Thick: Its primary strength may prove to be a weakness. The screen protector MAY be subject to lateral forces which may start to lift it, time will tell.
Doesn't stick perfectly at some places: This could be my fault for having lifted it a few times to pick up dust, or it could be its too stiff and doesn't want to conform, or less than perfect adhesive application at the factory. Whosever fault it is, the problem is cosmetic and in no way affects the operation of the N7.
Not prime eligible: Not really a knock on the product itself, but i had to wait quite awhile for this.
Having just had a few hours with it, I can say that I would recommend this to any one who wants to try a glass screen protector. They could have priced it more ridiculously, but at the current price point it seems fair for what you're getting.
UPDATE: Those tiny little spots are gone now that ive spent a little bit of time applying regular finger pressure on them for a few minutes.

What case is that? And nice review! Was thinking about getting one myself.

I also received and applied my i-Blason screen today. I think mine came with a defect on part of it, because there is one bubble that refuses to go away. Its not dust either. I'm super anal about not having bubbles. So I asked i-blason if they can send out a new one as their is a 1 year satisfaction warranty that specifically says it covers bubbles underneath the screen. Other than me being anal about the bubble though, this is a super screen protector and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I know you mentioned it is just thinner in those areas and they aren't actually holes, but I wonder why they all keep doing anything special at all for the notification LED on the clear models. They are putting in extra effort and it makes it worse
I could understand on the anti-glare models. Illumishield got rid of the notification cutout on their latest SP version.

Probably so you can see it better. I think it makes sense in this case.

got mine yesterday as well, just installed it. installed pretty cleanly.
so far i love it.
anybody using a case to cover the back of the n7, not a skin per se, but more of back cover/case, which doesn't interfere with the screen protector?

I got a defective one today. Big bubble is under the glass.

Did you try to pick it back up and pushing down on that spot as you're laying it down? Once the bubble gets trapped its impossible to get out with the squeegee

I had a pretty large bubble when I applied mine at first. You have to work from the middle out. It is harder to work the bubbles out then compared to a normal screen protector.

I am not comfort on the think and no hole at front camera position.

Got the screen protector earlier this week, and finally got around to installing this afternoon. No issues applying, though it's a little skewed from user error. The screen protector is on par with all the other glass SP on my other devices. For my it's just added comfort that the original glass is protected.
I noticed a few "marks" under the screen protector after application. They seemed to be indentations in the adhesive from the factory. Applying fingertip / fingernail pressure to the affected areas for a few seconds seemed to help the silicon stick better and clear the trapped air.
I'm glad they chose not to leave holes in the screen protector. Less area for dirt, dust and lint to collect. The camera doesn't seem to be affected by the layer of glass. The illusion of a "cutout" may just be the lack of silicon adhesive in each area. I highly doubt they took the extra time to grind down each area.
Get this screen protector. You won't be disappointed in the feel and protection.

I've had mine on for over a week I think it's great.

The "hole" by the camera and the notification light are not actually holes. I didn't look closely at the sp before I applied it but I think they are just areas where the glass is thinner so there is no adhesive on those areas or it is a different type of glass. If you rub your finger across where the camera and notification light are it is completely smooth. You don't feel an indentation or anything. So it is just one solid price of tempered glass with no cutouts. It does gives the appearance that there are cutout holes there but there aren't. It does not affect the camera in any way.

My original one ended up shattered when I received it. Emailed the company and they sent a replacement. Just got my new one today. Easy installation. As for the shattered one, I took a knife to it for kicks. No scratches. Definitely worth the money.

Detailed guide on Tempered Glass Protectors for the V30: What to buy and not to buy

Note: I initially intended to post this on the V30 subreddit, but then the mods on there decide to remove it for some stupid reason... (it took me 4 hours to write this guide FFS!) But I guess that is typical of reddit mods in general.
So now I have posted it on here. F*** reddit! Anyways rant over ​
================================================================
PREFACE
When it comes to tempered glass screen protectors (TGSPs) for the LG V30, or for any curved phone in this matter, finding the perfect one can be quite a tricky task, simply because there might not be a perfect one due to the curved nature of the display.
I just want to tell you guys that from my experience, there IS a perfect tempered glass screen protector out there, but before I get into that, HERE ARE THE TWO MAIN COMMON TGSPS THAT YOU SHOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
================================================================
#1 : DO NOT buy the common "full cover" TGSP that you see on sites like Aliexpress or eBay.
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Be aware as while the pictures might look like the glass is curved, it isn't. In fact the edges are as flat as a pancake!
So when you put the protector on, the flat straight edges of the protector will protrude out, making the phone not only uncomfortable to hold, but also makes it very easy for dust to get trapped under the protector, and overall generally looks ugly AF. And that's even not the worst part. The worst part is that this screen protector relies on sticky adhesives that only sticks onto the edges of the device, so you have a big gap of air in between the protector, making the V30's beautiful AMOLED display look like some cheap unlaminated IPS screen. All of these downsides makes this screen protector a big no-no.
#2: DO NOT buy the regular TGSP that doesn't fully cover the display.
Don't get me wrong though, this is miles better than the pseudo-"full cover" TGSP as the entire screen protector is electrostatically adhered to the display, which drastically improves clarity. However while they don't make your display look like crap, it is generally still an eye-sore and you'll eventually want to take it off.
================================================================
So getting all that out of the way, here's what you should buy:
DO BUY UV GLUE TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTORS
After researching a little bit more, I finally stumbled across the perfect TGSP that ACTUALLY has curved glass on its edges! This TGSP is unique as it uses UV glue as the bonding process rather than relying on electrostaticity or a sticky adhesive.
Now putting glue on your screen might sound a bit crazy, but it actually comes off easily and doesn't damage your screen at all as shown in this video:
This is what the UV glue screen protector looks like on my V30:
Here are 3 main reasons why you'd want to consider buying a UV TGSP over a regular TGSP for the V30:
1) It ACTUALLY covers the entire curved screen.
Compared to the more common "full-coverage" TGSP, the glass on this one is curved while the glass on the former is flat like a pancake. And I don't mean curved as in "2.5D", I mean the edges are actually curved downwards to fit onto the V30's concave screen.​2) It is insanely clear and transparent.
Unlike regular TGSPs (and especially w/r/t the non-electroadhesive ones), the UV TGSP offers the most clarity and transparency. Personally I found the colors and saturation to look every bit as vibrant and sharp as the original display, and the blacks still retain their deep AMOLED goodness. I was seriously shocked as to how sheer it looked, as if there was nothing on the screen at all. Now I can finally admire the V30's gorgeous display in confidence!​3) It only costs around $3 if you buy it on eBay or Aliexpress. ​
And now here are the 3 main reasons why you wouldn't want to buy this:
1) Lol I'm just kidding there's only one. Obviously this requires a bit more time and effort to put on than a regular TGSP, emphasis on "a bit". You have the extra step of applying the UV glue onto the display, and curing the glue for about a minute. If that sounds too complicated, then this (and generally any task that requires minimal patience) is probably not for you.​
IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: They don't tell you this on the listing, but when installing the glass, it is highly recommended to cover the speaker grill (with tape, cotton, sticky tack, etc.) so that the excess glue won't go into the speaker. Also I'd recommend wiping the edges of the screen with a cotton ball dipped with alcohol if there is any excess glue on the edge.
================================================================
DO BUY TPU ("HYDROGEL") SCREEN PROTECTORS (as an alternative)
Luckily for those that don't want to risk putting glue onto their screen, there is a great alternative to TGSPs. Another obscure type of screen protectors are TPU screen protectors.
These ones are made of a soft rubbery TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) material that is very flexible, and because of the flexibility, these are made to fully cover the curved edges of the V30, providing even better coverage than the UV TGSP. HOWEVER...... one major downside to TPU is that it is nowhere near as strong as glass. The flexible nature of the material also creates new problems, such as air bubbles when installing or peeling. So if you are looking for the absolute best protection, this is probably not the best idea. That goes for all plastic screen protectors in general.
Here is a picture I took of my V30 with the hydrogel film screen protector applied:
================================================================
SUMMARY/TL;DR
Avoid the "3D curved full cover" TGSP, they aren't actually curved and makes your beautiful AMOLED screen look like an unlaminated IPS screen.
Avoid regular TGSPs, while they don't make your display look like crap, it is generally still an eye-sore and you'll eventually want to take it off.
Do buy the UV glue TGSPs. This is the real deal as the glass is actually curved on the edges, giving you full screen coverage. It also has the best transparency I've ever seen on a TGSP.
Do buy the "Hydrogel" TPU screen protector. This is a great alternative to the UV glue TGSP. It covers a bit more of the V30's screen, while also providing superb clarity and screen visibility. The downside is that is it more prone to scratches.
================================================================
If this guide helped you in any way, or if you found it to be very informative, please give me a thanks
And sorry if the formatting of this post is all over the place, it's my first time doing a detailed guide on here.

One point. There are 3D curved glass protectors that are actually curved. I have one on my phone. The down side is that the glue is only around the edges. The decreases the touch sensitivity slightly. I can't give you the product name as it was shipped with my phone in an unmarked envelope.

Hi,
I would love some more experience reports from other people and also ... I like to pay with paypal and therefore Ebay links would be cool because paypal is rather expensive on aliexpress.
I also wonder how the removal of the glue really works - maybe it is just me but I cannot see a lot on the video that shows this process ...

Here is a more obvious example of someone removing the UV protector: https://youtu.be/Z70dqq6kcF0?t=76
I would imagine it takes a bit of force to remove it, but it should come off without leaving any marks the screen.

If the glue is only around the edges, that means there is entire gap of air in between the glass and the display right? I wouldn't like that, not because of the touch sensitivity but because it makes your screen look super bad, like an unlaminated display.

My UV glued tempered glass is still going strong after a month. Just remember to pour the liquid into a big blob in the center, and let the screen protector automatically fill in the rest via gravity (don't try to move the protector). Once the glass is completely filled, dry the glue with the UV light for a minute.

Just one question concerning this:
When do you remove the excess uv glue? I would be afraid that it hardens by the uv light in the wrong place
By the way - it is not gravity - it is capilarity ...

When the liquid glue is fully filled. If excess glue forms along the sides, just wipe it down with a tissue.

I didn't cover the holes on mines, but I think it would be a good idea to do so, maybe with small bits of tape.

P.S. don't mean to bump this thread, but I actually find it so interesting that—a week after making this post—I got a job offer at Mobile Outfitters. Now I apply screen protectors as a profession haha

My glas arrived today.
Application is much less scary than I expected. I used some tape around the device to avoid the glue getting somewhere it should not go.
However after the procedure my speaker seems to be covered by glue ... had to clean it with alcohol and am not finished yet. If someone has a better idea to get it clean again - tell me.
Another thing is: take care if the glad overlaps the device on both sides similar. I gave the impression that it is shifted to one side. Not really a problem since my transparent silicon housing covers that anyways
Besides these topics I like it and it is just great to have the complete display usable without a frame ...

However after the procedure my speaker seems to be covered by glue ... had to clean it with alcohol and am not finished yet. If someone has a better idea to get it clean again - tell me.
Another thing is: take care if the glad overlaps the device on both sides similar. I gave the impression that it is shifted to one side. Not really a problem since my transparent silicon housing covers that anyways
Besides these topics I like it and it is just great to have the complete display usable without a frame ...

Yup I love mines too, I think this is the best T.G. screen protector you could ever get for a curved glass phone. Mines is actually cracked already, but I'm planning to buy another one soon. Also try using a alcohol-dipped cotton swab to clean out the speaker.

Great guide! Just bought one on Aliexpress and there was a $2 off coupon so I got it for $1.99. I'll report back when I get it and get a chance to put it on.

Ok - some more experience with this wonder glas:
in the last days - not even 1 week after applying the glas - I found lots of dirt on the edges of the glas. I carry my phone in my pocket and so there is quite a bit of fluff from my jeans. I tried to remove it carefully with the effect that the glue at the edges under the glas was also removed which did not look very nice. Today I wondered if the glas had moved slightly to the side. I tried to remove my silicon housing and found that it was glued to the glas/phone. Actually I know the problems of UV-glue from my job: they tend to never fully harden and can flow somewhere after month or years (stronger glues can cause severe damage). I had thought that this is not a problem here because everything is open and the device is exposed to the UV light contained in daylight
Trying to move the glas back ended in the glas jumping off the phone. As I had ordered 2 glasses anyways I applied the other one (this time with tape on the speaker). Now I will expose the glue for the rest of the day moving it from corner to corner with the UV light and hope that it is better after doing that. However I am still afraid that the light is just too weak. On the other hand I am afraid that a stronger light might damage something - which is possible ...
BTW: I find it a bit special that when you order 2 glasses you get only 1 UV light - what if the second one is a gift?
Bottom line for me at the moment: I am not sure if I can really recommend this glas. I will write again if something happens. Good chances that everything is OK now if I don't write. Unfortunately the other protector is not available for V30 ATM

So where can I get just the uv light? I got my glass but, I didn't realize it didn't come with the light!

Hi,
oh ... that would be interesting - where did you exactly buy? Not your problem but I would prefer to not receive another UV light next time ...
did you receive the glue?
