The guys over at Rootz told me post a thread here as well.
We will be making a tempered glass screen protector for the Nexus and wanted to see who was interested in such a thing.
I have a Kickstarter page ready to go and it will be live by next week.
What do you guys think?

Fantom Tempered Glass Screen Protector For Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Be sure to use coupon code "NEXUSFTW" to get $5 off!
After using the one from Spigen I'd have to pass. Great feel but prone to chipping along the edges.
So its a glass protector to protect glass?

Technically, but from what I've seen it has an oleophobic coating like the actual phone screen for fingerprints and such. I'm guessing it would look better than a plastic screen protector as well.
OP: I'll definitely back it when it's live.
I use the Spigen SGP GLAS.t on my Galaxy Note and it works well, but I don't see how glass is going to adhere to the curved surface of the Nexus unless it too is curved. How are you guys addressing that?

It's cheaper and easier than replacing your phones glass if you scratch or break it. Yes, there will be a coating to prevent fingerprints and such and will make cleaning oils off the glass extremely easy.

This question came up before, we tested a few prototypes and the curve is very minimal so we did not have much of a problem addressing it.
got a question for ya
Is it possible to slightly bevel the edges? Ive seen a few reviews on these and one of the things that I think would drive me crazy is the edges would be higher then the case of the phone. if there beveled below the case, it looks better, feels better and lowers the chances of catching the corner causing chips
just a thought. maybe offer that option as a special order. I know i wouldnt mind paying more for that
Really excited to see this! Some videos of prototypes would be awesome.
I do YouTube Reviews mainly for accessories for certain products (Specially for apple) But now that I've switched to Galaxy Nexus as my primary phone.
I'm going to try and review a few cases/accessories here and there too.
Interesting. What model of nexus is it for? Or are the screen layouts similar enough to use the same one on gsm/Verizon/sprint?

The screen is the same?
The only thing that changes is the thickness of the phone and CDMA/GSM technology.

Definitely interested! Whilst I have no problems with clarity using a cheap ebay screen protector, I do miss the oleophobic coating on an unprotected nexus.
If you guys could replicate that, it would be awesome. Also, it's really annoying when some screen protectors get peeled up on the edges due to the curvature of the screen. I hope it doesn't happen to this project.

This may be a possibility. When the samples come in I'd need to take a look.

what happens if it cracks? It must do something to the screen.
smashed glass on a fragile screen.. hmm...
So if I have a silicon screen, I'd get a silicon case and slap it on top of it to protect the silicon ?

The idea is to give you a naked glass screen experience while providing an extra layer of protection that will take the scratches for your screen, since the replaceable glass protector is considerably cheaper to swap out than the screen itself.
At least that's the concept behind a comparable product made for other phones (SGP GLAS.t).

Good news.
The newest technology in screen protection is on its way to the Galaxy Nexus. I was curious and sent a message to Spigen to see if the iPhone people were the only ones to be getting the cool new tech and they answered back that it is development for the GNex.
If your unfamiliar, the company is developing ultra thin glass screen protectors with oleophobic coatings and ultra clear adhesives that gives you the same exact feel as a bare screen but at about a $27 price point is not a problem to replace if it gets scratched.
The quote is an email I got from them.

Wow awesome! This is what I used on my galaxy s2 back when I had it and I've been spoiled by it. I've bought and thrown away almost every possible screen cover for the galaxy nexus. The only thing that the spg glas had was it interfered with touch screen sensitivity. But it was nothing a overvolted kernel couldn't fix

I think it's a little bit different than the glas. The glas.t doesn't have a border around it. Hopefully this will work OK with existing cases like the Neo Hybrid.
I wonder if it will be just as impossible to apply this as it is with all the other dry screen protectors. It is damn near impossible to install a dry protector without getting dust under it.

You're doing it wrong. I've installed a ton for me and friends and 90% of the time they are perfect. Make sure you install em in a steamy bathroom to get rid of dust, don't touch the sticky side of the protector, and make sure the screen is perfectly clean before applying.

According to iPhone users, they are practically transparent and feels the same as naked, oleophobic coating glass.

I'm gonna guess that the protector itself will be curved. I doubt something as rigid as glass will bend to the contour of the screen...
I just hope this is compatible with the Neo Hybrid.

Can't see any problems with the curve - thin glass is flexible enough to contour to the slight curve in the Galaxy Nexus screen. I suspect there might be problems near the edges though if there's any overlap.

That's the point though. Even something as thin and flexible as PET film has edge lift issues. It they don't curve the glass there may be edge issues, or the adhesive may lose effectiveness over time as the glass separates from the screen.
For $27 (what they're charging for the iPhone version) for one protector they better make it damn near perfect. There's no chance I'm paying that much for something that's cut as short as their ultra oleophobic protector.
Im pretty picky when it comes to protectors, but for $30 I will have to pass.

hi, after reading that the international gs2 has gorilla glass and that the tmobile version doesn't, i was quite disappointed. i have no idea why they would take out the gorilla glass! so should i purchase a screen protector?

While it may not be gorilla glass, it's still pretty resillient. As far as screen protectors go, if you usually keep your phone near keys, coins, etc then yes buy one. If not then you should be ok. I used to use screen protectors on all my devices but I stopped believing in them because I usually take good care of my devices either eay and the screen protectors took away the beauty from the device.
It really is just a matter of personal opinion.

So I took off my ghost armor on the sgs2 and tried the ultra crystal, in my opinion it's the best screen protector I have ever used, and I've tried a lot! If it wasn't for the cut out for the ffc you wouldn't be able to see it. No rainbow effect, no orange peel look, no finger prints, no screen distortion, just clear beautiful view, just like the naked screen. I also bought the oleophobic for the GNote, haven't tried it yet, but I can't find it for the sgs2.

I found out the same thing, only after putting the phone in my pocket with my keys. The screen with scratch so I highly recommend that you put on a screen protector
I'm glad this thread hasn't gone retarded with a bunch of assumptions and stuff.
Gorilla glass is just a name. other tempered/reinforced glass can be designed the same way or even better but is not called "gorilla glass".
Like others have mentioned, the glass is pretty sturdy and can protect it from scratches from most day to day objects and items that you use. However, sand in your pocket or on the table can scratch the **** out of the glass because it is compiled by a lot of different minerals.. shoot there might be even diamond in it.
I'm sure most active users on XDA take care of our devices and will be annoyed by the smallest scratches on the screen, so I would recommend a screen protector. It definitely helps prevent scratches and add an extra amount of "cushion" from small drops to prevent shattering your screen.
BTW I was fortunate enough to buy inexpensive screen protectors (like 5 for $4) on amazon and they turned out to be like the SGP ones. They were actually some of the best screen protectors I ever used, it felt identical to the glass. Just a thought if you decide to go the cheap route that there are some good and inexpensive generic ones.

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,

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.

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.

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.

Just noticed. In none of the link can I notice a visible accommodation for the Notification LED. Plus what if one wants to taked this off? Will it 'stick' to the original face plate?

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.

Has anyone seen any accessories for the axon 7 yet? The only things I've seen so far are pretty much the accessories that come in the box with the phone itself.

Obviously, but it's already unveiled in China. I figured there would be at least some cases shown or for sale by now. I'm sure they'll come in time. Just wondering if any forum members had spotted anything.
I am really waiting for tempered glass protectors. I really wanna protect the screen from shattering should it fall accidently, but i still want to see the whole premium metal casing.

It'll be interesting to see those. They'll probably only cover a middle portion of the screen minus the edges, given that it has a "2.5D" display.

The Screen is pretty durable!!
The vid I watched showed a screen protector inside the box when he took it out of there. It was in China, so not sure if the US is going to get the same things inside the box, but it's nice to know they throw one in. Also, not sure of the quality, but still... It's the thought that counts, right? LOL!

Yeah, it's a film screen protector.. Better than nothing I guess.. At least until the tempered glass screen protectors come out for it.
I did run across this Screen Protector a few mins ago. Not sure how good it is though.

Skinomi's got their TPU screen protectors out, both matte and HD clear. Not their tempered glass yet though. Their skin films are shipping late this month.
Flexible TPU works a lot better with 2.5d glass, if you can deal with the feel of it. Personally, I prefer it over glass, my finger seems to glide much more smoothly on the TPU material, probably due to the slight orange peel (glass offers up too much friction).

Gorilla glass doesn't protect from drops.

No i haven't really seen that much, that said we should go and ask dbrand to make some sweet custom skins for us for us to buy
( i already asked if they plan on doing it they said no cause there's no high demand for it so lets make some demands !!!)
I asked ZeroLemon if they planned to make a battery case for it and they said no. Bummer as I have used them in the past when I was going to be without a charger for a while. Not something I used every day, but handy to have when needed.
Had a quick email from SPIGEN regarding AXON 7 cases , they state " we do not have any information about this item at the moment." . . So they are a no go at this time .
Case with Belt Clip
For those of you who care about such things, apparently the only case that comes with a belt clip for this phone, at this time, is by Nagebee, and is only available from amazon.

While not specifically for the axon I can tell you that I've had luck with a USB C to USB 3.0 hub that my 6P didn't work with.
