No and I don't think you have one. The only "screen protector" which it cames with is that from photo below.

As far as I know the back of LGOG is also Gorilla Glass 2, you can have it applied with a protector also, like me, both back and front of my LGOG is covered with protectors.
Optimus G has gorilla glass... No need of screen protector... Using as it is for more than six months with leather flip cover, which i got with t mobile....

Problem is when it falls on its side. I don't use any case for my OG so I have it masked.
IMHO: Use a bumper or a case, it'll be enough, unless you keep it with pointy objects (IE: keys).
But, use at least a bumper or a case!
Yea,a bumper should be enough,that damn silver frame is so fragile.
The has both GG2 on front and back. Pretty resistant sh!t,as long as you don't get it in contact with sand particles. Otherwise, the glass stands against many materials:keys,coins,what ever you have in your pockets. But the sand will eventually make micro scratches. It's normal,since sand is tougher than glass,as it's one of the ingredients. sand particles in pocket will act like a sandpaper,very abrasive.
I had an s2 for more than 6 months,no scratch from plastic or metal. Same with my galaxy note.
Now, the G. Pretty tough,the only thing that needs protection is the frame. That chromed plastic is soooooo damn sensitive....)
Just remember that it is scratch resistant and not scratch proof.

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,
O. O.

I ordered one, they still haven't shipped yet. Just answering the OP's question, I think glass is what would "feel as near as possible to glass"
I wonder how high over the bezel this will go?
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.
just go on you tube and look up sgp glass youll know what the tempered glass screen protector is basically like
Thanks let me know when you get it

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?
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.

Autocorrected from my Nexus
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.

I'll get this screen protector for my new xiaomi mi3, so thank for your review, you helped me to made my choice
This looks amazing!
I found one on eBay for 12€.. I might buy it.
Is there any downside from using this screen protector?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your amazing review!
No real downside other than you really have to do your best to apply it perfectly the first time. Very difficult to remove and reapply without getting it dirty.
Love how it feels, so smooth. I wish I got it sooner, before the Sony screen protector started getting scratches. Never using a film protector ever again.
My C6906 came with a nilkin glass screen protector when I bought it off of swappa, and using the way I typically apply screen protectors, using tape like a hinge to perfectly position the protector with, application took less than a minute. My only complaint is that the glass is not oleophobic, or at least isn't as oleophobic as I would like, although it doesn't get fingerprints all that easily, and a few wipes on your jeans should take care of it just fine.
i bought this screen protector for CNY 58 (about USD 9.5). Much better than any PET films I have seen.

Only downside is that come with with a PET back protector and I found the anti-fingerprint coating wore off faster than most, it's also is a bit small and doesn't cover the whole front wish it was more precise fitting.
If you apply this screen protector the Z1 will do not fit on your dock DK31.

It's recommended to do not remove the anti-shatter Sony protector so you can apply this Nillkin on it.

I have this Nillkin SP and it's the best SP I ever had, on all devices.
Perfectly slik and ultra durable...
I have it few months and not a one scratch.
But...
I bought front and back and I'm kinda disappointed because only front is real tempered glass, back one is just a plain SP...
It would be awesome to have back tempered glass as well.
And yeah...I applied it on top of Sony SP (had few little scratches on it) and it's perfect - can't see a single old scratch...

I installed a Nillkin tempered glass a month ago. Recently, the screen just cracked on its own. No impact or poor handling whatsoever. I guess it is just poor quality product in premium packing. Really disappointed that such bad quality can come from Nilkin .....

I have been using Nillkin for a while now and have never experiences such problem. My first protector cracked after I dropped the phone face down on my desk. Now I am on my second one and it functions properly. Maybe you didn't align yours properly or you had a faulty unit.

Hi there.. I was considering buying the Nillkin glass, and I was wondering if you noticed any scuff marks or scratches on glass surface while using the DK31 magentic charger? (assuming you use one).

Is the glass completely scratch ressistant? Is it pure glass or is it groilla glass?
I honestly dont understand why u wpuld remove it? Its like a perfectly fit protector u never bought
Hello Omaro,
Z1 Compact uses Dragontrail glass which is as strong as gorilla glass. The glas does however not come with a oleophobic coating
As an answer to your first question there's no glass which is 100% scratchproof. Minerals can scratch pretty much any types of glass, and by minerals I'm talking about sand, stones etc etc.
The reason why most people wants to remove the preinstalled antishatterfilm is due to that it collects dust, fingerprints and its very easy to scratch. It's not recommended to remove it if you're not planning to apply a oleophobic coating on top of the glass.
Hope my answer cleared any doubts,
DevStaff

The surface of the glass under the plastic film is not as smooth as other phone screens. I think this is because it is not intended to be used without a film above it.
I removed Sonys plastic film and added Orzly Tempered Glass Screen Protector (you can use any other tampered glass protector). nearly perfect for my and much more scratch resistant than with the plastic film.

The reason because it does not feel as smooth is because of that there's no olephobic coating on top of the glass. You need to apply one yourself using a liquid solution, and it'll feel like on any other phone.
thanks guys^
but does this olephobic coating u speak of wear off after time?
EDIT: btw I cant see any anti shatter film on the backside of my phone. Shouldnt there be on there as well?
ty in advance.
btw great phone.

nope. the z1c has a plastic black. no shatter-protection necessary, but causes the flashbleed problem. some people have replaced theirs with the glass back from the z1f, though.
I don't have any screen protector and am very happy with that. No need to put some ugly stuff on the front glass.

To my knowledge it is gorilla on front and back, if u do a quick google search you can find this topic being discussed in the moto/lenovo official forums. Where the authority has confirmed that front and back has gorilla glass 4.

it may be gorilla glass in the front and in the back, but some brands puts a plastic protector (like sony) in the back in order to remain the glass in one piece when your phone breaks

The first film is similar to what's on the back of the phone, it's merely a shipping protection film. The one underneath is a factory applied plastic screen saver. Most people chose to keep the factory applied one on until it scuffs up, some remove it as they prefer the feel of glass.
