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 ?

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.

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.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=370754000871
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

Has anyone ordered a screen protector for their device?
I purchased one for my Acer from Amazon. I ended up returning my Acer due to a hardware defect. The screen protector came in the mail the other day. It seems as though it covers just the screen, and not the entire front face of the device. If the screen protectors for the Tab is the same way, then I will use this one. If not, I will return for one that will protect the entire front face of the device.

Im so sick of that answer. Gorilla glass scratches the same as normal glass. That said, my tablet doesn't fit in my pocket like my phone does so its not subjected to debris that will scratch it. I use them on phones but not on tablets.

I ordered a Full Body Invisible Shield yesterday. If you want and when I get the tab in, I'll take pictures of the final results.
I personally like the feel of the invisibleshields fro Zagg. I have one on my captivate, laptop and will on the tab. They are defiantly not for everybody and when really clean can make finger slides on surfaces kinda skip.
anyone try these ? Overstock item# 13692828. For $4.49 with no shipping, how wrong can this be ?

How is the Zagg protector from BestBuy?
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,

I like this idea, but the LCD is already low enough in the glass, this is just creating more of a gap.
I am really interested in a review though.

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

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

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

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

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

Well, watching the video of the one for the iphone, it does bend a bit. So maybe that will help.
At least, I'd hope so.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I-HynTTSVU&list=UU7Dt0MNubTXYM8CB3totaxg&index=1&feature=plcp
The guy from the company who makes these posted on the forum (the thread was closed because of the advertising rule) showing the a glass protector for a smaller screen applied on the Nexus to prove that it works with the curved screen. It seems to work fine.
My only reservation with the protector right now is how well the edges would work and how easy it is to apply. Normally I would buy a pair of protectors in case I screw the first one up, but at the price I would have to think twice about it.

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

Metal may not scratch the gorilla glass 2 screen, but sand deffinetly does (you can check the innumerous gorilla glass reviews). So, for people like me, who live close to the beach and often bring their phones to the beach, a Screen Shield is a prety good idea.

depending on how you carry your phone around i think your way more likely to shatter your screen then scratch it. I kept my s2 in my pocket and never had a screen protector. after 2 years the screen still has no scratches.

I am way more likely to shatter the screen than scratch it, yes. Also it is very important to me to not feel anything on the screen and that the case will be as invisible as possible.

The invisibleshield never had an orangepeel effect. I think that feel belongs to the older versions of Zagg.
Anyway, from my experience I went with Zagg. Just bought the screen protector. If I won't like it I can always ask for a refund, their customer service is amazing. Also, if anything peels off or the installation isn't going smooth they can always replace my screen protector for free.
If I won't like it I'll go with the glas.tr by spigen.
Thanks everyone.
I have a zagg invishield on day of purchase cracking protected action and covers well. I applied and left the phone for 24 hours . I have some spigen too and there now just sat in the box lol.

Why not just get a screen protector from xtremeguard for under $2
I cannot stand the sticky/gummy feel of Zaggs. For that type of protection, I go with Clearplex. Right now, I have a not-quite-faulty Spigen glas.TR on mine while I wait on the replacement Nano glas to come in.
Never really like Zagg, there more pro apple imo. But thats not the reason I dont like them...I hate the orange peal looking and sticky texture I get from there screen protectors!

There are cutouts in the picture for the speaker, prox sensor. Although rumor has it that the 3 pack on amazon by Spigen for $15 its just like a flat deal with no cutouts and works fine. Go with what you trust and what you think is right and will work for you.
I don't like Zagg. I used Invisishield on a lumia800 and it had horrendous amounts of orange peel. Also, I was not a fan of the feel because it didn't feel smooth. They are not very forgiving if you are not good at applying them correctly the first time. I RMA'd one because it got some scratch on it and while they did send me the replacement, they said they never received my original protector and charged me the amount for a new invisishield. It's their fault for not providing me with a tracking number on their return packaging that it got lost. I've used dry application screen protectors since and they are visually better looking as well as they feel better.
I find Zaggs texture to be... Weird. I'd go for Skinomi. Smooth and doesn't have the orange peel effect that most wet application screen protectors have

If I play games on my phone, I can't use a Zagg. The sticky gummieness doesn't let my finger slide on the screen, it's tries to skip across instead.
Zagg is garbage in my opinion. I never had one I kept on more than a few days. I in general don't like screen protectors. If I did use one though the only company I liked was clear-coat.

My only complaint about zagg (and most wet application screen protectors) is that over time, if you were jeans, the screen protector will turn blue. It's easier to notice on a phone with a white front, but it sucks to know that it's happening nevertheless. Be prepared for that if you plan to invest in one of these.
So for the LG g3, is it a good idea to get a screen protector or will it be pretty scratch resistant without one?
Got 2 scratches on mine... Not really sure how it happened.

I got a tiny scratch that you barley on my G3 and bought a glass screen protector right away, its great, and I don't really notice it, well worth the money,
What people don't understand about gorilla glass is that its still glass no matter how strong it is, all those videos of knives on the screen don't make sense since metal doesn't usually scratch glass anyway, but put some sand near it, even one grain and you got hella scratches, I'd do it, but only the glass screen protector, plastic ones are ugly, leave bubbles and are hard to apply.
Trust me my S5 got scratched within a month all over + my s2 as soon as I took off the protector, Just from keeping it in my pocket
I put one on straight out of the box.
Currently got a plastic one on. No bubbles if you put it on properly.
Probably will get a glass one though when I know the phone has no faults and doesn't need to be sent back.

Haha that's dedication using the phone with the original screen cover on!
I took the original cover off and put a Spigen protector straight on. Didn't even have to wipe smudges or dust off, a lot easier like that [emoji3]
I've been using the stock protector from Verizon-- never pulled it off, it only blocks a little bit of the bottom buttons, and while it's a bit of a fingerprint magnet I figure it's perfectly applied/aligned (no dust specks or bubbles), etc. That said I don't expect it to look pristine for too much longer.
I ordered some of the Illumishield protectors from Amazon, I know someone who's used them and it looks nice. If the Verizon one's fingerprints start getting to me (or the "Audio Jack" and "Charging port" writing gets too obnoxious) I'll try one. Not sure I am ready to make the jump to tempered glass yet...
I've been using skinomi on all my phone's. Nice screen protector.
I put one on my device the second I got it, but I noticed a scratch on my screen when switching screen protectors, so I just run 100% naked now.

Get tempered glass if you can! Totally worth it!
I put a Zagg glass on the day I got the phone...best screen protector I have ever used!!
It's better to have a screen protector. Unfortunately it doesn't have the gorilla glass. I just bought the ZAGG glass invisible shield. It's wonderful. It feels more like the phone screen than plastic

So it's available for our phones now? I looked on their website yesterday and it said not yet available. I guess I'll have to look again.

I got mine in Best Buy. They're pricey $39, but I think it's worth it.

Best buy price matches Amazon and several other online retailers. I wonder if they would price match the official ZAGG price on their website.

they might, or they might have it cheaper than Best Buy
