Aduro Membrane Anti-Glare (or Ultra-Clear) screen protector?

Just recently bought a 3-pack of Basalguardz, and while the protector itself is bad (doesn't distort quality, doesn't feel too different than plain screen, etc), I put on two of the three and couldn't get rid of bubbling that appeared on both top and bottom. I actually ordered them on mistake (wanting to buy the anti-glare one), but from Amazon reviews, it doesn't seem much better in that regard.
Anyway, can anybody comment on Aduro Membrane screen protectors (anti-glare particularly) and how they fit? I'm not too concerned about screen quality of the anti-glare option as long as it actually is anti-glare/matte (only a small percentage of my phone usage "requires" a high-quality screen), but whether I end up with that same bubble effect on top/bottom/sides as with the Basalguardz is a big deal to me.
I'm sure there are better options out there, but I don't feel comfortable spending more than $5 on a single screen protector when I'm liable to screw up at least once out of every three, and $5 for a 3-pack seems nice.

I actually just got these yesterday. This fit is...eh. Not super impressed by that aspect. I have slight bubbling effects around the edges, because trying to align the camera whole perfectly made it so the right side of the protector is basically resting on the end of the glass. It's barely noticeable, but present. However, it is most definitely the clearest SP I have ever used. It's basically like having it unprotected.

Do you think it would fit properly (as in, without bubbling around the edges) if it was moved a little in any direction (even if that means covering the camera a bit - unless that'd also mean the speaker and therefore bubbling around there)? If not, I may want to continue my search...after seeing how easily I could pop the BasalGuardz off (in order to return it), I definitely don't want bubbling around the edges.

I'm also looking at this Fosman Anti-Glare screen protector, since it does leave a little empty space on the sides (and eliminates the bubbling problem as a result) - any thoughts? Most of the bad reviews seem to be regarding the pixelation due to it being anti-glare (no-duh).

I don't know about the Fosman, but yeah, if you moved mine to the left a wee bit, it would not cover the speaker at all, and get rid of the bubbling. It's just that the fit is not perfect. Also, protip, this guy in particular seems to be a lint magnet. The first one I applied just sucked the lint up; moved to a different, less linty area of my apartment, and got it on clean as a whistle.

Alright. I'll probably start with the Fosman then, since it's only $3 (hopefully doesn't take too long to ship since it's not Prime-eligible), and then move to the Aduro if anything; there doesn't seem to be many other decent ones on Amazon for the price, so hopefully either will do.

I have the Aduro. Its a good screen protector, but there's no way to get aligned 100% without some lifting around the edges because the screen protector is cut to size.

Ah, in that case, I'll make sure they're not cut to fit - I'd rather have a little missing on the edges than bubbling.

Of course noticeable pixelation and it covers the phone really well. Almost to the top of the phone, but noticeable space on the bottom. So at the top dust and crap can get under and it looks dirty. Otherwise the matte feeling is great and works as suppose to.
Although I like the basal one better, these two are very comparable and can be had for cheap!

I just received mine and put it on and it fits perfectly! I love it!

I hate the Aduro! There is absolutely no way to do it without lifting. You have NO IDEA how many hours i spent rubbing the edges and get them to stick. The Aduro came with three screen protectors. I rubbed the first one for a week, still lifts, apply the second one and rubbed it for a week, still life. I thought "Hey maybe it might go away in couple weeks" but NOPPPEEEEE IT GETS WORST. Next thing I know the lifting has spread to other edges of the screen protector. That's when I finally gave up.
I purchased this one and i"m happy with it so far. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00724P35O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
*The right edge is not lifting, it's just light reflecting on the edges. This screen protector is absolutely PERFECT for me.

I've had my Aduro screen protector for a week and the first one I put on was rough but the 2nd one was perfect and its working great. Doesn't even look like there's a protector on there.

I ended up going with the Fosmon, and liked it so much that I ordered another 3-pack for when I need to replace them. I didn't apply it too well (kinda off with placement), but I can tell that when I do re-apply it (and correctly that time), there wouldn't be any bubbling. It sucks that it doesn't cover the entire front, but at least it covers the important parts.
As for actual quality - definitely improves outdoor viewing (still have to crank up the brightness, but everything can be read much more easily), and definitely love the silky/smooth feeling on the screen, great for Swype.

I've always taken my phone to my service provider...Verizon. I'm not sure about the other companies but Verizon will install your screen protector for their customers for free whether it's a new or used phone. They install screen protectors all the time and do a great job with no air bubbles. Hope this helps.

Glass screen protector finally available for XT1080 Droid Ultra/Droid Maxx

After exhausting most searches for a Glass screen protector, it looks like an ebay seller finally has one for our Droid Maxx/Ultra phones XT1080
http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=321532232355
I will post a report once I have it in hand and on my phone.

Looking forward to your review! I'm running the Skinomi screen protector and it's been great so far but this is definitely something to look at after this one wears out.

just curious when tempered glass stick on the edge screen, is there any gap?

I dont think that there should be one. Looking at other screen protectors, they only are
over the screen and are ending on both sides right before the glass gets round. I hope you understand what i am trying to say. The protector wont go completely to the edges. But i am looking forward to that test/review too.

Application: VERY easy to apply. I let it drop on to the phone and it was floating on the phone, letting me make minor adjustments to even out the sides. I followed the install tip of "touching the center of the phone to let the adhesive spread", which actually worked. There is a small <1mm border where the adhesive hasn't fully set. I am hoping that this sets fully over time-otherwise it will attract dust.
Coverage: It covers more than 100% of the active display but leaves about 5% of the Motorola glass uncovered. This is good for me, since I use a Diztronic TPU case, and screen protectors that are too close to the edges end up peeling with TPU covers.
HUGE improvement to image clarity, viewing angle, and feel. The whole phone seems to be higher resolution. 90% reduction in fingerprints/dirt/resistance. I am using 0.1% brightness using Gsam screen dimmer, and it looks so much brighter than before indoors!
Since only one manufacturer brought this XT1080 case to market, I'd have been happy even at a much higher price. I am ordering a few more for spares in case I ever need them and find them discontinued/unavailable.

Great find, though I am still a bit confused on what this product does.
Is this a screen protector or something else?
How does it make the display look better than the original?

Great find... I've been trying to find tempered glass for my Maxx for months. I ordered one of these for about $6 (dirt cheap!), and am liking it so far. I'm curious, though... Have the edges of your tempered glass adhered yet? Mine has been on for a few days, and the edges are still not grabbing completely. My Maxx lives in a Trident case (Kraken, I think), so the edges of the screen protector are pretty much covered. Just wasn't sure if there was any trick to the application that I missed...

After a week the top and bottom of mine never fully 'seated'. Doesn't affect the viewable part of the the screen but looks kinda crappy. Put the same product on an iPhone 5S and it went on completely correct from the start. Makes me wonder if it was me or the protector.

Since I have several, I took one off and applied a second due to the outer edges not making full contact. The manual refers to letting the 'adhesive spread', however there is no adhesive. It simply clings to the clean phone surface. I placed the first screen protector on the middle of my LCD monitor. totally clear all the way to the edges.
I think the Droid Maxx screen isn't 100% flat, perhaps as a result of the (LACK) of precision that led to both of my XT1080's having a terrible creaking noise on the side.
Despite this nuisance, I like the feel of the glass cover more every time I use it. I'm actually fearful of the Droid Turbo launch now--in case glass covers are not available on launch day.

$95? Presumably the seller jacked up the prices on these.... That's crazy. The privacy version is less than $10.

literally, I think is the best protector

I went through some of the sellers feedback, noticed that some say it is plastic and not glass... I would think it's glass, so just wanted to make sure. Can anyone that purchased from this eBay seller confirm.
Also noticed the price decreased since it's under $6 shipped now.

It is definitely real tempered glass.... When I took my first one off, it took very little to crack it. the bottom layer touching the phone was the only thing keeping the pieces of glass held together at that point.
The XT1080, like the Droid Turbo, Note 4, and IPhone 6, have glass that curves at the edges. These rigid screen protectors don't fully attach at the edges causing a halo effect.
Companies have been revising their Note4 designs to address this but they are basically just making the screen covers smaller with more of the screen uncovered.

Review of Zerolemon Note 4 tempered glass screen protector w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of ZeroLemon Note 4 tempered glass screen protector. http://zerolemon.com/product/zerole...-protector-for-samsung-galaxy-note-4-full-hd/
To be honest, I wasn't planning to create a separate review thread for this tempered glass protector after I confirmed that it has "halo" effect along the edges where it didn't stick to the screen of Note 4. As most of you already aware, Note 4 screen is slightly curved toward the edges and as a result a thicker screen protector, such as tempered glass, will not be able to flex and stick to that part of the screen. As a matter of fact, even some of the film screen protectors have problem with that, and I see some manufacturers pre-cutting them to cover only the display portion of the screen. Hopefully a robust solution will be available soon, but what do we do in a meantime?
I thought I will wait and see until a week after getting my Note 4 I discovered a small hairline scratch on a screen of my brand spanking new phone with Gorilla 3 glass. That quickly changed my mind and I figured to apply Zerolemon tempered glass protector while I'm waiting for a better solution. I didn't buy it and received it as a review sample in exchange for my honest opinion about it. But for $8.99 I think it worth every penny even as a temporary solution. Here is why.
Beside the low price, this is actually high quality tempered glass protector offering a typical 9H hardness rating, rounded edges, high glass clarity like original display, the same touch screen sensitivity for both finger touch and s-pen touch, and oleophobic coating to minimize fingerprints (which actually works quite well). And even so it has the same feeling like an original display glass, it feels less slippery when sliding your finger. The only problem, it doesn't stick to the edges and you can see this so called "halo" effect which is visible only with a black background. I demonstrated in my pictures below how it looks in both cases.
Also, I had no problem using it with my UAG Maverick case where the top of the glass protector doesn't even touch the bumper of the case, and the bottom of the glass protector goes underneath of it. I'm typically very anal about screen protector installation and will not allow a single speck of dust, so halo effect is not acceptable by my standards. But to be honest I had this screen protector since yesterday and totally forgot about those edges while enjoying a bit more of carefree tossing of my phone in the pocket.
Oh, and forgot to mention the most important part - installation took literally less than a minute. I used included alcohol wipe to clean the screen. Then, removed a protective film from a "sticky" part of the glass and laid it down pushing air bubbles out with my thumb after application. Of course, make sure you are working in dust-free area and have you hands washed with soap before starting. Though no specific instruction was included with this protector, if you don't have previous experience, just look up videos on YT.
Here are the pictures.

With UAG case installed
With screen on (white and black background)

I have the UAG MAVERICK also and mine went under the case on the top and bottom left corners. I guess it's the way you align it. Either way it's a nice piece of glass but the huge halo and going under the case on the corners I did not like. So I took it off and put the xtreme Spartan on. Smaller than the LG but less halo and doesn't go under case. So I am keeping that one on until something better comes along.

Here is the pic I took of mine right after I installed it today. I am, like you, happy with the protector otherwise. The halo is ginormous, even by my standards (I'm not extremely picky) and I was worried maybe my screen curve was more than everybody elses'. But, seeing your, I guess not. The help around the home button, for me, is particularly disconcerting. Anyhow, I'm using it despite the ugly halo, until we can get some curved glass. I do like the fact that it covers almost the whole screen. It's smooth and high quality.

I know,right? Lol I can get it to go out with my finger depresssing, but it comes right back when I lift up my finger. It's even all the way around so maybe my screen is extra curvy?

Holy cow. Mine is nowhere near that size; even vectron has a slightly larger halo than mine. I'm guessing I really just managed to hit the sweet spot, because my halo is pretty thin, and frankly, since my Verus has a lip, I'm not too worried. It is, after all, really just security for if it somehow lands face first, and the edges aren't important if that happens.
I still can't believe they haven't figured out how to deal with the curve, though. If our screen is glass and curved, why can't they manufacture a tempered glass piece that has a slight curve as well? Seems ridiculous to me.
Now, if I can just find a dock that will allow a Verus case....
EDIT: Try putting something very heavy on the front of your phone overnight to see if that might finally make it adhere, for those who have this problem? I know I tried that with my old Note 2, when I accidentally bent a corner up (and yes, apparently it is possible to do so), and so I set a thick glass skull on the corner overnight. It helped quite a bit, actually. It didn't completely go flat, but it definitely lessened the problem.

[REVIEW] Spigen Neo Hybrid Case + Spigen screen protector crystal

Since I upgraded my phone to HTC10, it was time to buy some new gadgets and the case and screen protector were on top of my list.
I bought Spigen NeoHybrid (SatinSilver) case about 3 weeks ago along with the 3pack of Spigen Crystal screen protector.
HTC 10 Screen Protector Crystal by Spigen
Lets start with the screen protector first.
It comes in a nice package with anti dust stickers, Zeiss wet screen wiper and also positioning stickers. In the package you will find 3 pieces of the film. I payed about 10USD for it.
My first aplication was unsuccessful but I gained some experience, leveled up, changed armor and sword and oh wait...
And second try was a lot better. Positioning stickers help a lot since the screen protector is perfectly cut for the front but to align it perfectly it should almost touch the upper edge of the fingerprint reader which I did not like and I left a little margin which you will see on the photos. The film does not cover entire screen leaving little margin around screen for the curved edge of the glass. I think it could be a bit wider but I do not know if it would affect aplication by the end user. I think I would be very fine with it being a little taller and wider.
The screen is very clear and very hard to see once aplied. It is unfortunately very soft and thin - using your fingers and nails leave little "rivers" or traces which are visible only on very steep angle to the light. They are not visible from the front, you need to angle the screen to see them properly. Also you can permanently mark the film with your nail, often where the buttons are.(like GooglePlay store top left menu for example).
At first I was very concerned and a bit mad just knowing it is there but after one day when you do not see it and that it is only 10USB/3pcs film I stopped bothering. I looked at my previous phone which has a quite hard film and it look like scratched with a chainsaw so no point in whining really.
Overall I am satisfied but nothing fancy and If I had an opportunity to try other 3pack of film I would do it just for comparison.
HTC 10 Case Neo Hybrid (SatinSilver)
I bought for ~20USD the first version of the case which had cutouts on the top for scrapped IR blaster which was considered by the HTC and did not make it to the final design. Last week I contacted Spigen about updated case and they told me they will send me new one for free. Shipping was also very fast from USA to Europe. I was very glad and happy about, the support was very proffessional and they care about their customers base. Very good job Spigen. Kep it up!
You will find photos of both cases and the end of the review.
Neo Hybrid is my second case from Spigen overall. I have also NeoHybrid Gunmetal (or blue as I call it) for Iphone6+ which is quite more slimmer than case for HTC10.
HTC10 version has bigger and more edged frame and it feels more sturdy. At first I was sceptic for the chosen color - Satin Silver was really bright and eye catching which I wanted to avoid but after spending weeks with it I think it is the best color option for black HTC10. The silver frame looks gorgeous and adds a character to the entire design. Gunmetal or Black frame would be very stealth, way too much for me. Silver frame really follows the chamfered edge design of the phone making it more uniqe and eye catching.
Case front edges stick out a bit protecting the screen, maybe a bit too much for me but nothing really to whine about. It could affect you fingerprint scans though if you slightly put your finger on the case front edge. Rear is very well protected and the lens glass and LEDs are protected well enough. Also no problem with taking pictures but I do not personaly take any photos other that work stuff and "memos" so I can not say if the flash is affected. In the field or on a trip I am using my DSLR for photos, not a fan of taking pictures with my phone.
Case quality is very good. The design quality and frame fitting to the inner TPU/rubber case is nearly perfect. On the photos you will see the the top left corner on the rear does not completely flush with each other. It is present on the both cases off and on the phone.
Rubberised inne case is very nice to touch and the texture add to the grip. What I did not like very much is the lack of textured Power button. In my opinion it is a must to follow the original design of the HTC10 and for some people it might be a little confusing since all buttons are the same size and have almost same spacing between them. They do not stick out very much from the case.
As for the plastic frame grip, it could be a little slippy. I would like to see it textured just on the side edge around the case. Something like on the back would be very nice for grip and would feel the phone much more secure in my hands.
But overall design and looks are one of my favorites and Neo Hybrid for HTC10 nails the design very well. Same model for Iphone does not come even close. Over all I am very happy about it. Even more happy with Spigen support who sent me updated version of the case.
If anybody is looking for a nice looking case which is well built I could definitely recommend Neo Hybrid from Spigen.
What I liked:
- nice design, high quality case
- protects front and the rear glass on flat surfaces
- good price for such a product, Spigen customer support
What I disliked:
- lack of textured Power button, SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED!
- plastic frame could be slippy
- front case edges a little to tall for my preference, could be a bit slimmer

Nice review thnx
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I can also vouch for the screen protector and agree with your comments. Hard to beat a 3 pack for 10 bucks. I also got the spigen "Rugged" one piece slip on style case and I am loving it. It looks just barely thinner than this case. One thing I'm slightly conscious of is scratching the sides of the metal body. My note 4 has a nice metal frame which is unfortunately scratched to hell from a similar style case.

guys, anyone has this case?
can i only use the tpu piece? or it will fall off?\
thanks

Only using the TPU piece will cause it to feel flimsy and not secure.

[REVIEW] UltimateShield Tempered Glass Screen Protector OP7 Pro

This will be a short review which hopefully helps OP7 Pro owners wether they should buy the tempered glass protector from Ultimate Shield or not. Please take your time and read the whole review
PRODUCT PAGE
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/products/oneplus-7-pro-tempered-glass-screen-protector
This might be the time to add that Ultimate Shield did not tell me to write this, I bought the screen protector because I have used their OP5 tempered glass in the past and was satisfied with that one. In case the pictures don't show on your screen, I've attached them in a zip file down below.
What do you get?
For £11.99 (~14€ / ~15$) and free worldwide you get one screen protector, instructions, dust removal stickers (which I forgot when taking the picture), a microfiber cloth and a wet cloth.
I bought it because I wanted a tempered glass screen protector which is curved so I can protect the whole display including the curved edges.

What about applying it?
The instructions are basically useless, since we're dealing with a screen protector which sticks to the phone with the adhesive side, so no bubbles, no "vacuum" or anything like that, as long as the display has been cleaned before nothing can go wrong, just make sure that the side slim black bar is alined with the top of the phone. Oh and you should remove the preapplied screen protector before putting this one on the display. After that it is important to apply preassure on the border of the screen protector to make it stick, and this is where things get critical, at least that is what happened to me. Even though it looks like I've prefectly placed the glass on top of the display some parts of the protector simply won't stick, or at least stick for a few minutes. I have added some photos where you can see a tiny gap. Keep in mind that I have applied A LOT of pressure on those parts, more than enough. The screen protector has rounded corners and a curved edge, it covers about 99 percent of the display.
What about colours and sharpness of the display with the screen protector?
After applying the screen protector I haven't noticed any kind of weird colour shifting or rainbow effect. It still looks as sharp as before, but due to reflections the edge of the display has some minor rainbow effect. I only notice that at a specific angle and when the background is white. Oh and it doesn't seem to cut off any part of the screen.
What about the fingerprint reader?
After deleting the old fingerprints and adding new ones with the screen protector applied the fingerprint scanner works 99/100 times, it might take a split second longer than without it, but I didn't have any issues.
What about the touchscreen and gestures?
This is where I got frustrated. After using the phone with the tempered glass I instantly noticed that the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as it was before. "alright", I said to myself, "It is completely normal that it feels different now". Unfortunately this is why I would personally not buy this screen protector again. I had to apply more pressure than ususal when tapping on an icon and so on. Sometimes the touchscreen didn't register even though my finger clearly touched the glass. This was very annoying when using the keyboard, in almost every sentence at least one or two characters where simply missing because the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as before. Same story with gestures, you need a lot more pressure and when swping up or down in order to open the app drawer or notifications it sometimes works but sometimes it takes up to three tries in order to get the gesture to work. In comparison, without the tempered glass screen protector I had no issues at all.
SUMMERY
Applying it was easy but when I did it it didin't stick as good as I hoped it would. The tempered glass screen protector doesn't really change colours, which is a good thing. THe touchscreen experience was comparable with one of those older smartphones where you had to use more force and it wasn't as accurate. Overall, I can not recommend it for the price, unless you use the touchscreen with a lot of force. If you think that I didn't apply it correctly feel free to "call me out" in the comment section and tell me how you would have done it.
UPDATE
Since the tempered glass didn't stick very well anyway I went ahead and carefully removed it and moved it about 1mm downward. Unfortunately the touchscreen is still not responsive enough to use the keyboard without any issues which is why I contacted Ultimate Shield directly via Email. (still waiting for them to reply)
FINAL UPDATE
They answered and after looking at the images I send them they said that it might be faulty because according to them the black adhesive should stick much better than it did in my case. They were kind enough to give me a refund! If you bought one and had a much better experience please tag me so I can quote your opinion!

Probably cus it's not full adhesive. We need to wait for Whitestone or something like that

Probably, I think my application was good, I guess the adhesive can't do the job when it comes to the curved edges...

Too bad OP didn't release one at launch. I assume they will down the road like they did with the 6T.

Well the 7 is just the 6T, so they just have to update the packaging

Not trying to be funny but was there an indication on the protector as to where the top/bottom was?

Well the flap of the protective foil that was on the the glass was probably the indicator.
That and the fact that the bottom part of teh black frame was way wider than the upper part...
About 2mm of black adhesive on the buttom and 1mm on the top...
EDIT:
It wouldn't make sense to aline the the thicker black line with the thin bezel
I've sent UltimateShield an email concerning this issue.

I've ordered same protector for delivery tomorrow, getting the phone today so I'll give it a go, how is it with cases or have you not checked? I've ordered the Ringke Fusion-X too so would hope they'll work together.
Watched this video of the PureGear protector, from XDA fave TK Bay, which looks mucho pricey but seems to play nicely with, at least, official cases.

the glass doen't fully the cover the display, there's about 1 to 1.5mm between the tempered glass and the frame of the phone, I can use the transparent TPU case that came with the phone without any problems

Thank you for your review. I currently have a film on my screen now. I was thinking about purchasing a tempered glass shield for my 7 pro especially since T-Mobile has the Puregear one on sale for 10 bucks off (if I'm not mistaking) but I'm not sure.

I actually ordered the same tempered glass,but I noticed that it wasnt clear and that the black outline on the edges was the adhesive. It doesn't truly embrace the curved screen, but you can use it for the back of your phone. I glued to the back of my 7 Pro with the clear case on. Your phone will look like a beast

interesting approach xD

I'm waiting for this to show up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP5KJXV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seems like a Whitestone clone. Hoping it's decent.

Got one too. Install was super easy but like said in OP, sensitivity gets way worse. I would not recommend.

Do you know if the product is in stock?

Looks like the OP product was replaced by a newer full adhesive version:

The screen of my 7Pro looks like new. I never used a screen protector. Just the sandstone hardcase for the back.
