Tempered Armor just launched their Galaxy S3 tempered glass screen protector December 2nd. Saw a review video for their Note 3 protector and absolutely loved it (Link if curious: http://youtu.be/Qzhst5jrBtI). I picked it up the same day it released.
It came in two days ago and of course I install it immediately. At first, I thought great, the adhesive is doing it's thing. Then, once I took the blue plastic cover off, the disappointment set it. At a nearly uniform distance completely around the protector, the adhesive doesn't stick. I had used their packaged microfiber and their packaged isopropyl wipes for the install. Thought cool, maybe it will take a few days. And fast forward to today, it still looks the same.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I love how it feels; I've always hated those crappy plastic protectors.
I reached out to Tempered Armor via Twitter and got no help other than them claiming it was user error and/ or the alignment is off. I sent them a Dropbox link with pictures of the alignment and they came back with the protector won't work if it is "off a hair".
Here's our Twitter conversation: https://twitter.com/temperedarmor/status/413801200866574336
Here's the Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i6wur2j57ql99c7/qyw6TAEb_y
So if you are thinking about ordering one, make sure you have a micron microscope to get it aligned correctly.
Meh,
I have had similar problems with SProtectors. I do believe that the glass on most S3's have a slight curve at the outer edge.

Whenever I press down on the outside edge, it feels like the glass protector doesn't even try to stick. I feel like the adhesive wasn't properly applied to the protector before shipping.
What really got me was when customer support mentioned if it was "off a hair" it wouldn't sit right. How are you going to sell a screen protector that has a fault tolerance in alignment of a width of a hair?
Typical lack of customer service or care. This why I try to support companies like, Anker, zero lemon, Amazon. They actually care about quality and their customers. As info,
We have 3 galaxy S3 in my home and all have a slight curve downward at the edges.

I love tempered glass screen protectors. But why spend that much money on that one. I got mine off Ebay and they look way better than the one posted in the OP. The one I have sticks all the way around.
here's an example of one... (not sure which seller I bought from. it's been a several weeks since I ordered.)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Rea...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item2c779dd20f
I knew of the owner of the company from my days as an iPhone modder. Thought he would be a bit more "in touch" with the community and more helpful than "nope, you broke it. lalalalala can't hear you".

The one I have is .3, so just a bit thinner. on all of the cases I have used, it doesn't interfere with the case. I have used it with the Otterbox Commuter case and it looks fine. Right now, I'm using it with a rubber/plastic case that I found at Walgreen's of all places. There is usually a small gap between the edge of the screen protector and the case. I'll see if I can get a picture up
EDIT
Here's mine with a case and the glass screen on it (sorry pic quality is bad, taken with an Ipad, of course)

Thanks for pic..i will definitely look for a glass thinner than 0.4..
Whenever i put a screen protector on my s3 the touch screen glitches, key presses al over the screen like whenever i press the app drawer it opens my notification bar, whenever i type something it scrolls up,so does that have anything to do with the quality of the screen protector?

Ordered this screen protector( http://tinyurl.com/24pks3g) on Mon. Hope it comes today since that is when I will be getting this phone. Anybody ever use clearfreak screen protectors before? Any good? I hope it doesn't look orange peely like the zagg on my g1.
just got my clearfreak yesterday but won't have the phone until 7/23
it feels thinner & more flexible than the zagg , and the cutouts are correct for the vibrant where the zagg has the cutouts for the i9000

Thanks for sharing the coupon! I just ordered one. It will probably get here before the phone does
Thanks, I'll be ordering one as well .
I'm thinking of picking one of these up.
I've used a Zagg on my G1 which was nice at first, but became real ugly after a while. I eventually removed it because it looked really gross on the edges.
How does this compare? I plan on only getting the screen cover, don't need the back covered.
Why is it cheaper on ebay? It appears to be the official clearfreak ebay account, but their prices are much better (even with coupon) than their website offers. What gives?
Any reason not to put this on my phone? What I liked about the Zagg was that I could just wipe it down once with my shirt and all the smudges were gone instantly. I also liked the smoother surface for gliding my finger. It seems without the Zagg my G1 screen had too much friction.
I've used lots of different brands of screen protectors and found the Invisible Shield to be my least favorite. They are a good product, I just don't like the texture of them - it's a personal preference.
I'm considering not using a protector on this phone, though. I always used a screen protector in the past, even on my clamshell phones, but the durability videos floating around are pretty impressive. Not sure if it's technically Gorilla Glass, but whatever they use, it seems pretty damned tough.
For those of you with a unit in-hand, how durable does that glass seem?

I got mine yesterday but I am not quite ready to test the durability. Maybe a braver soul can help though.
BTW I am in for one from Clearfreak from eBay.
Also I don't recommend buying the T-Mobile screen protector, it doesn't cover the whole front, which on this phone is just weird.
I'm not sure about durability as I'm not willing to do any crazy test, but it's going to be hard going with a screen protector b/c the screen is just so nice to use.
That glass really does a nice job with fingerprints. Obviously they're still there, but the glass seems to reduce the effect and they aren't noticeable at all when you're using the phone.
I hear that most screen protectors make fingerprints more noticeable and aren't nearly as smooth.
yet but no matter how hard the glass, it will show degradation from windborne sand, grit etc, or grit/sand in your pocket, salt on your fingers etc
i've got watches with hardened sapphire crystals that i have to polish occasionlly with diamond grinding compound (same stuff used on optical lenses) cause the surface shows microscopic pitting, scratches etc
I've only every used clarivue protectors in the past. I liked them and I will probably post from them when available. Not sure how it will work with swype though.

I second this. I removed mine immediately! It turns an amazing display into an average one. Looking forward to the clearfreak reports.
From looking at the eBay pic the ClearFreak doesn't have cutouts for the front facing camera. I checked the Zagg site and their's does.

There isn't a Front Facing camera for the Vibrant. The one on Zagg is a cutout for the i9000.
Ok I just installed the clearfreak screen protector, followed the directions on their video and and it came out alright I guess, not perfect though. I'm sure it will take some time too set in , but I can see some fingerprints even though I had them wet the whole time. hopefully it improves. When the phone is lit up you can't see any of the flaws and swiping through screens is flawless and very responsive.
I have include two pics, mind you these were take within 30 min. of installing it.

Update: After a few hours it has settled in quite nicely. The finger prints that I thought were there initially are now gone and is super smooth almost too where I forget its even there. Good buy!
the martin fields video had a nice tip for handling the screen protector without getting fignerprints on the sticky side
check the video on their website, but it was a simple idea - using two pcs of scotch tape on either side with half of of the tape not on the protector - gives the user a small "handle" area to use to hold the screen while trying to position it correctly on the phone
just a suggestion

I go to walmart get 3-4 sheets for about 8.00 and cut them to size, they work great.
Save yourself money and time by going to a nearby Verizon store and get a pack of 3 "clear" screen protectors for $13 (even cheaper if you have corporate discount). They are PERFECT!!! I can't even see the screen protector, especially when the edges are covered by the Silicone case, both while the screen is ON and OFF!!! The first time I didn't know and they gave me the "anti-glare" one, man...those really kill the sharpness of the screen with the grainy look. You can even see them while the screen is OFF. So I riped that perfectly-installed protector off and thought I would never want to use ANY screen protectors again for this beatiful screen. But then I see in one thread of someone saying that there are two types of Verizon screen protectors, "clear" and "anti-glare", and the clear one is pretty good. I stopped by the store after work today and grabed a pack that includes 3 protectors (for trial-and-error ). After 5 minutes, both mine and my wife's Galaxy Nexus looks flawless with the screen protectors on. Man I love this thing, it's completely invisible and not affecting the screen resolution or sensitivity at all. Just my quick review as the result of the excitement .
And PLEASE....search for the "tape trick" on youtube show you how to lift the installed screen protector up and get the last piece of lint/dust out without using your nails or messing up the whole installation.
Goodluck
P.S. yes, the Silicone case does fit Galaxy Nexus with extended battery.
Does it completely cover screen in a perfect fit I had the anti glare and it was still off in size just a little bit
Yeah....it's like a millimeter or two from reaching the outer edge/rim. But I use Verizon's silicone case, so it wraps around and cover the transition good.
It covers the entire display portion of the face but does not cover the entire glass
Fail post op. Go get three on ebay for $3. I lmfao
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I can already see that they don't look identical. The Verizon version circle/flush around the earpiece speaker nicely, whereas the eBay version only encircle bottom and sides of the earpiece speaker. The Verizon version covers the glass almost completely, almost.....it only like 1-2mm from reaching the edge of the glass. I see many other screen protectors where they only protect the main portion/center of screen and not covering the remaining of the glass just below the Home/Back/Talk buttons.
I think the VZW screenies are fine. I don't like the rubber feel of the expensive one. I'm sure there more durable but the verizon one are nice and clear. Not bad

i also just grabbed them in the store. also very surprised by the quality and extremely satisfied
While I like the material of the VZW screen protector, I'm not a fan of how it fits. It looks too small, as there's about a 1mm gap between the edge of the screen protector and the edge of the screen itself.

You have to watch though. If you aren't using a case, I think you can go with other brands that cover the entire screen. If you are running a case plus the entire screen protector, sometimes the case contacts the screen on the sides and creates bubbling. I've had it happen to a few of my phones. I'm using the verizon silicone case and their SP and no bubbling because of the gap..
I was suckered into the Verizon Screen protectors. They DO NOT reach edge to edge. They just cover the lighted portion of the screen. I never even applied one. I pulled it out and said, "Awww".
Anyone wants them, PM me. I'll sell them 50% off = $6 shipped. 3 in a pack / $6 = $2 a piece.

just go back and return them I went ahead and did that with the anti glare ones yesterday shouldn't be an issue
i like the vzw clear - as someone else said only millimeters from the edges.
I initially tried the antiglare ones but they made the screen horrible to look at.
Do these provide any real protection? Or just from light scratches? Obviously they won't be as safe as gorilla glass or similar products, but I don't throw my phone around, so I don't need anything super protective.
The ones I bought from Verizon have about 3mm of space from edge of the phone. They aren't clear, more like a matte finish. Weird. But I hate to have a naked screen so I bought them anyways. I have a zagg, some ebay screens, and an xtreme guard screen in the mail.
i really like the VZW clear protectors... i measured less than 2mm gap all around, and you wont find an edge to edge dry protector because of the curvature of the screen at the edges.
I bought the Incipio 2 piece case and the Verizon screen protector. I really like the Incipio case over the Otterbox Commuter. I had the Commuter on my Fascinate and the plastic was slippery. The coating on the plastic on the Incipio reminds me of the rubber coating on Seidio cases.
The Verizon screen protector is okay. It is clearer then the SGP Ultra Crystal and my fingers glide over it pretty easily. However, I've already gotten couple scratches on it. I plan on getting the XO SKINS.

I've been considering getting a screen protector for a while now. The problem I have is my hands sweat very badly (gross I know) and then the touch screen on my phone goes crazy from the water on the screen. I have never had this problem with any phone I've had before now. I think it is because the Atrix touch screen is more sensitive than any other phone I've had. I was wondering if a screen protector would fix this problem and what some good brands were to try. Thanks

You should always have a screen protector on any smart device you care about. One grain of sand in your pocket can ruin your screen (and your day). That said....
A screen protector will likely NOT fix your problem, as water (sweat) registers as a capacative touch. For a screen protector to "fix" the registration of sweat, it would have to also "fix" the registration of a desired capacitive touch (finger, stylus, or otherwise).
The only manner in which a screen protector could help is if you could find a very hydrophobic one (the repells and beads water), though you would still need to soak up that water with your shirt or a handkerchief or something. I'm not sure they even sell these. Google is your friend, here. Use keywords hydrophobic and/or water-repellent. Good luck, my friend, and let us know if you find anything interesting!

I tried few of a kind and decided to go with Otterbox Defender case which has a transparent front panel.
Refurbished case is about $20-25 and as good as a new one.
No need for screen protector. No mess with applying one...
What if I put on an average screen protector and then sprayed it with some form of water repellent?

Water repellent spray wouldn't work because the screen protectors are vinyl or polyurethane and are not absorbent. Those hydrophobic sprays only work with an absorbent material like cloth or real leather.

I have to disagree with the statement that you have to have a screen protector, we have gorilla glass! I have never had a protector and my screen looks great! As for this situation, a protector that has a little rubberized feel might work well. I would read reviews on Amazon and buy the one that people complain the most about it sticking!

FWIW, my wife has been w/o a screen protector since April and I've been with / without one on and off since June.
Still not a single scratch on either phone, however, without one the screen is too smooth, so I'm thinking of going back installing one.
Hope this helps...
I went without a screen protector for a few months. I took the phone outside and noticed TONS of very fine scratches. You could only see them in direct sunlight, but it bothered me enough that I got a screen protector shortly thereafter.
I was thinking to buy a Vikuiti ADQC27. Has anyone tried it?
Thanks
I have to second the rec for the Otterbox Defender case. Having the screen protector built in is pretty awesome and in my experience, it has withstood all kind of liquidy stuff on it and plenty of goopy stuff as well. Like those technical terms?
It hasn't hampered my touch screen through various roms with various sensitivities and my glowing review hasn't even hit all the protection benefits it gives.
Best part? I got mine for about $10 'used' on ebay and while the silicone part was a little loose, a quick email to Otterbox got me a free placement in the mail without any hassle.
I haven't used one myself, but if they make one for the Atrix and if it's what you are really looking for, Zagg stuff has made some of my friends really happy.
You should look into a Matte one where is almost smudge free
altho it looks slightly foggy and scratch easily, but its worth it
make sure u get like a few togehter on ebay so you have backup ones

Can you suggest any brand? Something like the GreatShield Ultra Anti-Glare (Matte)?
I have one on mine, steinheil (SGP), while the protector gets scratched its better than the screen getting scratched.
Can't really tell the SGP ultra crystal protector is on the screen either, other than the few scratches that are on the protector now. Comes with 2 in a package if you get them.
They have an oleophobic one that is suppose to be oil resistant, maybe that one might be ideal? The ultra fine is their matted one.
If you look at the product on their webpage the 'Select a Color' changes the type of protector they have (took me a min to find the different versions they had when I looked again).
Last while the corning glass is tough, with a vickers hardness of 622kgf/mm2 in the unstrengthened and 701 in the strengthened stuff is pretty impressive.
Spec sheet for the glass can be found from corning's site using a google search, made me curious to check it.
While pretty hard something as simple and common as sand can scratch it which has a vickers hardness of about 1000....
Keys, lighters and the like are unlikely to scratch it though as unless its hardened tool steel its hardness will likely be below 650, an edge on a tungsten ring could probably do the trick though.
Anyhow I keep one on my phone, though maybe not really necessary I'd rather have a scratched screen protector than see the glass get scratched.

Zagg and Skinomi are quite nice. I like the Skinomi on my tablet maybe even a bit better than the Zagg on the Atrix, but the difference is very minimal. I'd say the Skinomi may slide slightly better than the Zagg, but you're splitting hairs.
I agree with BeakHill. SGP is great except they scratch easier than Zagg. The Ultra crystal is so clear that they don't even have a cut out for the front camera. The Ultra fine is their matte model and it is good and smooth, the crystal is nicer IMO..
The problem with SGP is they spoil you to the other brands, and they are more expensive.

I've been using it for about a month and there's been no peeling, bubbling, or scratches. It's basically edge to edge coverage. There's maybe a 1 mm gap at the bottom of my phone with the top flush so you could split the difference and have almost no gap all the way around.
For $6 shipped they're a good deal. I don't notice these at all and I'm not a fan of screen protectors in general. Since I haven't found a case I like for The One at all and I wanted protection for putting my phone face down when I'm at work these fit the bill for cheap. I just ordered a DevilCase bumper and back cover and I'll likely continue to use these covers even if I like the bumper combo.

I have the black HTC one and I ordered the gray diztronic tpu its amazing. Screen protectors work perfect with it. I've tried like 6 cases and I'm set on this one. Its cheap too. Plus it looks awesome on my black phone.
I will check out the tech armors
What's wrong with the glass screen protectors ? Those fit perfectly and do not ruin the feeling (like all plastic protectors do) ?

I think I'm going to try the glass ones. I just hope they don't mess with the touch sensitivity etc.
I use a mime ghost on my one and there is no negative effect whatsoever.
// sent from my phone //
Note on the product page for touch sensitivity
"Please note system software 1.29.709.12 or newer is required for use with our HTC One Ghost Glass"
Spigen, Spigen, Spigen. Spigen all the way! The best clarity and perfect fit for my htc one (and all other phones for that matter)
I purchased a Nillkin red hard cover for my One, solely to add grip after a few slips, which come with a Nillkin screen protector that I decided to try. Applied really easy and has an excellent fit and the feel aint too bad. I'm not a fan of screen protectors generally but decided to try this one and it's perfectly fine.
Once you go glass, you never go back
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, mods, feel free to move it if it is.
I think I've tried, what seems like, almost EVERY tempered glass screen protector on Amazon (6 or 7 different ones) and every single one has "halo" around the entire screen (doesn't adhere).
Has anyone found one that actually fits? If so, please post a link to it for me
I ruined the, flimsy film, one that came with the phone.... I've ordered something similar to get me by until there is a tempered glass one that actually works.....But if it's like the Moto X Pure, it's been out 10 months now and still doesn't have one that works correctly.

I ordered a case that comes with Tempered Screen protector , Love the Case but dislike the Screen protector doesn't cover the whole screen....
I bought it from here
http://m.ebay.com/itm/322188778666?varId=511115022449
And kinda looks like the one in the image attachment.
I believe it is too early in the product's life cycle to be able to find a tempered glass screen protector that will fit the Axon 7's curved glass edges.
Those edges are what's giving the issue here.
I'm going to use either a Skinomi protector for now. I've installed them before.
A good source for screen protectors is: http://www.protectionfilms24.com/
They're based in Germany but handle several very decent brands including Vikuiti which are a still film type protector. I have used those in the past and they're very strong and durable.
Prices range in US dollars from $4.45 to $25.65 incl. shipping for the Axon 7
Here's a glass protector they sell for $6.68 called the BROTECT® AirGlass® Premium Glass Screen Protector for ZTE Axon 7

I ordered the Brotect Air Glass and received it 2 weeks ago. I removed it within 5 mins. It creates the halo effect around the sides. They say it's Glass but honestly, it just looks and feels like your usual plastic ones that you get on eBay and stuff. I've also tried 3 different Tempered Glass and no luck either. You're right, it's still early. I used Ghost Armor about a month ago to have it custom cut but also ended up removing that too since I couldn't stand the rubbery TPU feel anymore.
Anyone tried those ?
With those gold/black edges, i'm wondering if those parts aren't on the curved sides !

That was one of the 3 I tried. I ordered 1 from Amazon and 1 from Aliexpress thinking they would be different.... Both are the same. Don't bother getting it cuz the adhesive is only on the sides and doesn't even stick properly especially since the sides curve down. It constantly slides around and doesn't even stay center. It doesn't even adhere to any of the glass part either and it's elevated. So when u press down on certain areas, u can actually hear it click. Worst of all, since it's elevated, you lose some of the clarity of the screen too.

I tried two different brands, one was Skinomi, and they're SO exact cut that if you squeegee them too much, it'll stretch them to where they hang over the edges (or maybe they're just made that way). As soon as you put your case on, they'll start peeling off in a few places. Or if you stick it in your pocket a few times, the edges eventually snag on your pocket and start to peel off.
I went with the stiffer, thin plastic ones until I find a good tempered glass one.
You might want to try this one: http://goo.gl/Gu4plV
Might not be the best, but forless then 1$ and free shipping, you might give it a try.
Saw that there where other on Ali too, hope you'll find one !

Have the same problem with my Skinomi. It's annoying the crap out of me

any updates on a tempered glass screen protector with little or no halo effects?
I wouldn't even mind a high quality film protector like the Spigen one that I have on another phone due to the same halo issue... but they don't make one for the Axon 7.
The Axon 7 is like little orphan Annie... nobody wants to make accessories for it.
thanks!
Sadly!! I have used Skinomi, very glittery. Spoiled 2.I can't recommend at all. And bought one in Germany all bull****!!! All don't fit and stick well!!!

I've tried 3 or 4 others, still have the Halo.....I have the one with the black frame around it sitting on my desk at home. It supposedly doesn't "halo", but only adheres around the edges (not the entire screen), so I'm holding off until the one I'm using now starts peeling off more.
On a side note, my sons Galaxy S6 has the exact same issue. I've tried 4 different screen protectors and they all "halo" too. So the Axon 7 has an upper-class, snobby sibling with the same issue :highfive:
I tried the one with the black boarder from Amazon people seem to been having luck with. Sucked. Fell off after about 3 hours. Also had very bad halos, but since boarder was black, you couldn't see them. The screen protector would get caught on my pocket when I tried to put the phone away. And no sticky stuff in the middle, so there were big rainbows on the screen. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!
I have ordered this one.

Had the same problem with the note 4. The 2.5d screens or whatever they call it are rather annoying. Took me a few tries to find one i was satisfied with. Looks like thia phone is going to be harder to find since its not as popular as the Samsung name.
Film not glass
I've tried a couple different glass screens with the same result the rest of you have found. Halos and skimpy/poor fit.
This one is a film but so far it's the best I've found. Stays put, covers it all and the edges stay down after a couple hours as it "settles in" :fingers-crossed:
