Well, does anyone know where i can get a full body screen protector? Essentially like the invisible shield, but.. of cheaper quality. i cant afford to pay 30 dollars every time. Im looking for something under 5 dollars.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Extreme guard3. Amazon.
That isnt a full body one though. it just covers the screen.
At amazon, search"samsung captivate screen protector"
There is just a sp for $1, but keep scrolling down and look for the $5 one, which is the whole kit.
And I was wrong, its just extreme Guard, not extreme guard 3.
Fwiw, zagg makes a full kit. Its a little pricey, but its a lifetime warranty. They will replace, free of charge, when they are shot.
Hmm. i currently have the zagg invisishield. What do you mean by replace if its shot?

Its part of their warranty. Lifetime. If it starts peeling off, not sticking, etc just call them and they should send you another one. They do ask that you send back the old one.

7.00. its the kind you apply with water. I ordered it when i first got my captivate (1.5 yrs ago) and i haven't even had to replace the creen protector part yet. of course I have a bodyglove case around the rest for extra protection.

Depending on which one you order, it may come with a screen protector. My defender did.
Hello,
First of all i would like to state that I am aware there are quite a few screen protector threads, the problem I have is that being based in UK I cannot get some of them
So I wanted to ask you guys, what screen protectors would you recommend that are available in the UK? I used to buy all my protectors from eBay, but I hate the rainbow effect you get when you look at the screen in the sunlight. Also I would need one that wouldn't leave any finger print marks, as the ones I have are practically useless in that department

There are many screen protector topics started already, most will ship to UK, why not ask in one of the topics?

Try the Xtremeguard protectors because they only work out $1.25(75p) each if you buy 3 or more and use code Big75, and shipping is only $3.78(2.40) and mine only took 3 days to get to UK.

Going to get a tempered glass screen protector for my new Nexus 7 Mate, and the common screen protector seems weak for the protection, if someone get some tempered glass guard for Nexus 7 ?

How much heavier is this going to make the device? I have one on my s4 and it makes it noticeably heavier.

good question, i have a note 2 with a clarivue glass screen protector, and didn't notice it being any heavier. But with the S4, im sure i would notice the difference. Personally I dont think i will notice any difference, only because the device already weighs a decent amount in the 1st place.
can someone fill me in on "tempered glass" screen protector? what the hell is this? lol

Basically it's a glass screen protector.

Its like a mix between glass and plastic. Reminds me of the glass they use on cheaper car windows.

You drop your phone, only the screen protector cracks (hopefully). At least has been the case on my iPhone5. It semi cracked, but hasn't warranted a replacement yet. I will be investing in one for my Nexus 7 FHD.
FWIW I just dropped my nexus 4 on the floor yesterday. The iloome screen protector shattered and the device was mint.
Last time I dropped my nexus 4 the screen itself shattered when I had a film style screen protector. $200 repair.
Also, I'm not clumsy, this is literally the first of 10+ android devices and over 15+ phones that I've ever dropped, so apparently the nexus 4 is easy to fumble from what I've read online.
My point is tempered glass has saved me ~$175 so far on another device, and I definitely think they are worth it.
Is this iblaison's first screen protector? I didn't see protectors for older devices to check reviews.
Love the way matte glides looks, but looks like I might have to try a different brands to start. I still have my plastic on lol

uhh....
You know replacing the glass on a phone is like a 20$ repair at most if you do it yourself.
Most non touch screens are like a few $$. Double sided tape = 1.50$. Small screw driver and a hair dryer and that's all you need.
Touch built into the screen is like 15$.
Ie: nexus 4 screen: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Nexus-Dig...4&sr=8-22&keywords=nexus+4+screen+replacement
It's not rocket science. The problem with any screen protector (even the glass ones) and i'm just theorizing, is that if you drop the device and it falls on the side (bezel) it will break the glass and probably leave your screen protector untouched.

Except I said nexus 4 not what you linked too. The glass and broken digitizer was $120+ alone. I ended up paying $50 more to have it installed professionally, and with a warranty.
Vs the time I ordered a replacement screen for my girlfriends phone and it showed up DOA. We know it was DOA because we got another screen and it worked. Of course we were not able to return the other screen since we bought it online the company just dismissed us.
Not worth the hassle of dealing with unknown quality and being out the price of a bad screen to save $50. In the end it cost me a lot more than that.

I posted the wrong link: http://www.amazon.com/Front-Screen-...36&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+4+screen+replacement
That's for the glass that shatters. I guess it's possible that the LCD screen broke too, but the glass on the outside is separate from the actual screen. If the screen still works but the glass is shattered, there's no reason to get a completely new LCD screen as well. You're correct in saying that those are expensive, like 100$+. There really isn't a professional install, anyone can do it.
I'm not trying to derail or argue. Screen protectors are great, for protecting against scratches and nicks. But against breaks and shatters? I'd say YMMV. I don't believe they're designed for that.

Yeah in my case the screen was unresponsive because the digitizer broke too not just the glass screen. I spent $50 or so extra for that warranty after getting a bum product. Anyone can do it, but if you get a bad screen online good luck proving that it wasn't user error while installing, and then you won't get your money back.
All I know is that the tempered glass screen protector shattered a few days ago and my phone was in mint condition. Last time the phone fell screen down it shattered everywhere. I'd rather pay the $25 for tempered glass (which felt awesome and responsive without any issues) than gamble on needing to replace another digitizer.
No other sellers up to now but amazon? Tried to order there but shipping to Russia costs more than glass itself
I know there not the best but of well lol Put this code in: BOOM91OFF
you must buy 2 things it says.

reviews for them arent the best on here

alot of problems so I guess buy at your own risk
Ordered. thanks!
I've used them in the past with no issues, just order 2 screen protectors and 2 glass screen protector for £9,so can't really argue
Just got a glass and a regular for $3.40, not expecting the best here but that is cheaper than most shipping and will last me until I decide what the best one to get is. Thanks for the post.
I have one on right now. What's so crappy about it? I'm sure all of the glass ones are equally crappy but for a couple of bucks who can complain haha
got the tempered glass a few days ago...the size wasnt correct...my m8 had the perfect fit for the tempered glass...i spoke to them they are replacing my order but hopefully they have fixed the size of the glass it didnt cover the screen completely
The title says it all actually:
My G6 fell and the back is broken. Anyone knows where to order this part? A replica or original does not matter to me.
I generally buy this sort of stuff from eBay will be well worth a look.
This happened to me today. Apparently the gorilla glass 5 is not as hard as I thought it was. Dropped my phone from a height of 50cm and the rear glass is broken. Thank goodness the camera glass is ok.
Btw, this is the link where I bought the new glass (with adhesive). It costs $10 and I think that's a reasonable price.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1Pc...32815415775.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.Q1wSza
Now I just need to find a tutorial video of how to replace it. Please share if you find a good one.

Did you manage to replace the back cover? I guess I have it worse, as I have my front screen glass shattered. Any idea where I could find the replacement kit?

I haven't tried it yet. I ordered the glass from china so it'll take some time to arrive.
You can get official LG parts from Spares LG website:

There's Witrigs.
I can't recommend them though, I never bought anything there.
