Anyone have any suggestions?
They must meet these:
- Dry application (NO Zagg/Ghost armor/skinomi)
- Anti-glare/matte finish
- Multipack with more than 1 protector
- Fairly cheap !
I'm looking at these so far:
http://www.amazon.com/RND-Power-Sol...EQ24/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324312655&sr=8-1
They are the only ones with a customer review on Amazon, and they're $6 with free 2-day with my Amazon Prime membership.
Anyone have any experience with any anti-glare screen protectors for the GNex? Thanks !!
Hey guys
I'm looking for a screen protector, them cheap 99p ones, but I've bought a few and they don't cover the entire screen. Anyone know if the are any of these available on eBay that cover the entire screen and not just the viewable part.
your best shot is the xtremeguard, best bang for your buck. its wet application and covers entire screen with cutouts on sensor/camera. Similar to Zagg but fraction of the cost. Look it up on ebay,
Yep, go for the xtremeguard. Don't waste your money on cheapo dry application screen protectors. They scratch up after a few hours of use and peel up on the edges of the screen. I bought one xtremeguard back in december after wasting my money on multiple cheap dry screen protectors, and it has covered my screen and been flawless ever since.

Cheers mate, had a look but doesn't seem to be any UK sellers and I need as soon as possible so don't think I'll be able to wait for delivery from US
Was trolling amazon for a new tempered glass protector since i got an rma replacement 32g Black N5, and for $15 I'm impressed (not only that but I used amazon prime and i got it next day instead of 2!). I previously had the Spigen Glas nano.tr (the defective kind) and this feels just as nice or better than that! This one has cutouts for the earpiece, front facing cam, and proximity/light sensor. Application was a breeze came with "Dust removal tape", installation was bubble-less and i have zero life in my spigen ultra hybrid case (i had some screen protector lift with my Glas tr.).
Moral being, $15 for a tempered glass screen protector, you can not beat it!

Just bought one for my new Nexus 5 that I'm expecting to arrive this Wednesday. Was desperately looking for a cheaper, good quality glass screen protector that wasn't $40 *coughSpigencough* and this post made me check it out. Thanks man! Will report back with my experience.
Just got mine yesterday. Very pleased. I like it better than the MIME glass I'd used previously and it was less expensive.
Just placed an order for mine. This will be my fourth one, hopefully my last and bubble/spiderweb free!
Received mine today, installed it, has a very premium feel, fits perfectly, has very minor wavey area which is said to disappear within 24 hours.
Well worth the money, highly recommended.
Interesting. Might buy and do a comparison review with the NIillkin.

So I did the search for screen protectors. Pthink has hands down been the best screen protector for the v20. I had a 2 pack and just dropped the phone and cracked the scecond on. I went to amazon to order my replacements. Found out the item is no longer stocked. I contacted pthink directly. They have discontinued the product. I have been searching other retailers. No luck. The screen protector thread everyone is recommeneding p think still. Please if you know another retailer that sells them let me know. If there is another brand out there as good please let me know.
Wow. I was just searching this also!
Mine got a chip in it and my wife's has a crack. I have one left and was searching for more with the same result.
I did see these https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/183759922468
...but I don't trust that they are genuine . 4th pic shows "pthink" in the top left corner.
No idea what other brand I would buy at this point.
I've never ordered from AliExpress, but these show promise as being full coverage and full adhesion:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32813226666.html
That ebay price seems really cheap. I am so iffy on ebay anymore. I have order some parts from aliexpress in the past. I didnt even think to check there for the screen protectors. I am going to give it a shot. They look like the pthink one's did.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find a comparable replacement for these PThink screen protectors.
As far as I can tell from Amazon reviews, all other "full coverage" tempered glass screen protectors for the V20 only seem to have the adhesive along the border, so you'll likely get the halo/rainbow effect in the center of the screen. All the ones you see on eBay are probably the same, so I wouldn't trust a listing unless it actually mentions PThink in the description or shows a picture of the original white and green package of the PThink. Note that all of those protectors have a black border while the PThink is transparent throughout.
If you have to get another screen protector soon, then you might have to settle for one that doesn't cover the whole front (they usually stop right above the LG logo).
The AliExpress one looks promising; that might be the only similar one out there.

The pthink protector actually does have a black border, but is definitely full adhesion as we all know. I only had issues during installation, have to make sure to really work out all the air bubbles near the black border. I have ZERO dust where the LG logo is.
I've had mine on since December 2017, no ill touch issues or rainbow effects ever.
I'll probably go in for 3 of the AliExpress protectors. They are sold in single quantities (not a 2 pack as the Pthinks were sold).

Ah yes, I forgot that there is a smaller black bar at the top and around the LG logo (2 of my V20s have PThinks on them) while the front camera area is mainly clear, unlike all the other protectors. I only had permanent bubbles at the very tip of some of the corners and a larger bubble around the front camera, probably because I squeezed the protector into an Otterbox Defender case (with its crappy plastic screen protector removed).
Looks like the AliExpress protector is currently on sale, and you get $3 off as a first-time buyer, so that'd be a decent price.
I just placed the order for the aliexpress one. I'll post a review when it comes. Down side is shipping could be up to 25 days. If they are as good as the pthink version it is worth the wait
Just ordered 3 of them also.
Total was 23.42 using PayPal and the coupon. Not sure how that total amounted.
7.19 x3
+1.05 shipping
-3.00 coupon
+.80 PayPal fee
Should have equaled 20.42
Oh well.
Edit: PayPal amount was 20.42, which is correct.
AliExpress refund
I ordered the AliExpress screen protector and recieved a refund form Paypal today. So apparently the protectors sold out.
I ordered 3 from Amazon (PC-Mall brand). I will try to report back, but the protectors on my phones are still good, so it may be a while.
Just received the shipped notification. So now I wait for the slow boat...
I find it strange they are sold out. 2 days ago it showed 986 were available.

? Lmao. That's hilarious. Pthink are epic. I had trouble finding myself. Ordered some supposed ones a few months ago. They weren't sadly.
I had my payment returned also on aliexpress still says they are in stock. Not sure what the deal is.

Yeah, that is pretty strange. You can see all the recent orders in the transaction history around the bottom half of the page, and people are still ordering it as of today.
I'm in the same situation as OP. Seems that all of the full coverage v20 screen protectors on Amazon only have adhesive along the edges of the screen. There are a couple that have it across the screen, but it's only partial coverage. I was thinking of going with the Supershieldz and adding some LOCA adhesive to the rest of the screen as a substitute.
Since I'm the only one who is having any success with AliExpress, I'll post my experience once they get here.
So I went with the random screen protector + LOCA adhesive combo. It gets the same clarity as a full adhesive screen protector, great touch response, and overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
The cons:
I wasn't sure how much LOCA to use, so I ended up using a little too much.
I have a few small bubbles (not really noticable with the screen on unless I'm on a white background). When I replace this protector, I'll be sure to take my time.
The screen protector I used did not have the front camera cut out, so it glares a bit. (Stay away from the Mr. Shield brand). The Galaxy S8 forums have a ton of tutorials on using LOCA. There was also a video on YouTube of a guy doing it. I used the "double y" technique.
I received the AliExpress order on Monday the 13th (just about 2 weeks to the east coast US). I haven't had a chance to install yet. They do look just like the Pthink protectors.
I'll try to get one installed on my wife's V20 soon and post my thoughts.
Ok all. I had a friend order from aliexpress who already had an established account. He saud sometimes the coupons cause issues. With that aside I was able to order two of the before mention screen protectors from aliexpress. They are in fact similar if not identical to the Pthink ones.
Full screen adhesive. No halo
