Followed by SGP ultra crystal
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Protec...298&sr=8-1&keywords=sgp+ultra+crystal+nexus+7
I bought 3 different types in total. illumishield gives me 0 problem.
+1 on Illumishield.
XtremeGuard on mine, went on almost flawlessly for a wet install. Really great protection, great prices, I even have one on my DNA!
Is the illumishield better than the spigen? And Tempered glass is it really worth it?
zagg has wet apply projectors for us now. they are the best I have used so far. I have an I blason on the way to try out and I'm using the horrible Asus protector right now. :-\ tempted to put a zagg on top of an iblason haha
edit: In a moment of mental incapacity I had installed the Asus protector improperly so I should give it more credit though mine did come with a dented edge and these are not my preferred style they are probably OK for most people.

1st had xtreme full body protection, which was great especially for the cheap price.
now im using the i-blason tempered glass which i love.
Zaggs are alright and easy to install.

Is the iblason tempered glass really worth the 20$ plus shipping?
I'm using the SUPCASE Ultra Clear Series and it is such a tight fit on the tablet you wouldn't even know it was there (ZERO room for error when aligning, but very forgiving on re-positioning too). The only thing that makes it stand out is the single cutout for the front camera. Two pack on Amazon was around 10$ with free prime 2 day shipping. Best deal I've found
Edit: From reading the packaging, they claim that the screen protector is a tight 0.3mm fit on the tablet.

for me yes it is, i love tempered glass screen protectors. i have one for my note 2 as well.
if you have used other screen protectors, like zagg/ect, and like them, it might not be worth it to you. ive never liked zagg/ect over tempered glass protectors.
luckily i got mine for $20 shipped($15+$5), so i saved $5 at least before they raised the price.
The i-blason is definitely worth it. You get the 1 year warranty against pretty much anything including scratches and bubbles. I already had to use it due to a spot on my protector that refuses to lay flat on my screen. I just sent them a picture of the area and they sent a replacement out straight away. Great customer service.

I hate wet apply screen protectors. They always have a tacky feel and they are never flawless.
I'm using the Official Asus ones and they're nice but they must have some issues at the factory. I've been through 2 now and both have had dents that cause it to raise and bubble. My second one is at the bottom and small, so Im keeping it.
The Spigen is very high quality and considered the best. Amazon had these for $12 which is a steal. I never used the glass ones but I'd imagine they would be closer to a natural feel compared to plastic ones.
I prefer the Matte ones myself. The only matte one that seemed like quality is the Official Asus ones. I bought another brand of Mattes (3pack) that have 3 cutouts and reportedly horrible from Amazon for super cheap ($3 shipped) to use as backup.
I would agree with post #2. The Supcase SP looked very nice too.
Use the hinge method when installing quality protectors because the cut leaves no room for error. I use painters tape on the sides for a hinge. Rip and squeegee.

I've used Spigen Ultra Clear on my old Galaxy S2 and my family's Galaxy S4s. I use Rearth Ringbo Ultra Clear on my old Nexus 7, Nexus 4, and new Nexus 7. I don't really much of a difference (or feel) between both brands. The Rearth one gives you 3 for about $5 on Amazon. Pretty cheap, works just as great, and it doesn't leave a residue like some other cheap brands.
EDIT: Just wanted to point out, both Spigen and Rearth SP has a hardness of 3H. Getting scratches on both will be pretty normal due to the hardness of the material. Unavoidable, but better that than your actual glass (which I think has a hardness of 8H).
Is iblason the only company right now that makes a tempered glass screen protector for the new nexus 7? Just wondering since shipping it to Canada is like 40$ all together and i don't think its worth it
I use Ghost Armor on all of my devices! They haven't been available for the N7 FHD, but I checked tonight and they finally are! Ordered tonight, so I should receive it next week. Can't wait!! They are tyne best option in my opinion!!

anti explosion?
Yes,explosion! See if you're in an explosion don't worry! You might be dead, but your phone's screen won't have a scratch XD
At this price, you'd probably be better off getting the OEM protector from OP (which is only $5, if I remember correctly).

Depends on preference. PET vs tempered glass.
I am not a huge fan of tempered glass protectors, I have seen them break screens underneath the glass without breaking the glass. They can do more harm than good.

Man, 2 for £6.99 is really cheap. Anyone had any experience with the brand?
All I could find is this.
EDIT: Going up in price. Now £8.99
at ebay seems that one nillkin case appeared!
i bought the case and also the anti-explosion screen protector! (the case has one nillkin screen protector but not the tempered.)
Just get the Original Nillkin Tempered Glass Screen Protector for my oneplus one from aliexpress.com. Just want use it to protect my phone from dust, scratching. Nice product.
Would you buy the Nillkin?
http://www.ebay.de/itm/321428374151?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Or the Orzly?
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00KQKATH8/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
Nillkin or Orzly, which can you recommend? (I only had exim (now nexxaScreen) and dipos till now).
I have the Nillkin. Feels a bit lower quality than a high end Spigen one. The transmission isn't great. you can visually tell there's something between the screen and your eyes.
i would go with orzly for sure
I totaly agree with the nilken one being cheap. I ordered it from aliexpress and it arrived broken. i ordered it from ebay and then returned it as it was square edged and looked quite universal. Did a google search and came across a youtube link with the orzly video (type in orzly one plus one glass screen) and then found it on amazon. The packaging, the manual and everything about it looked the same as a spigen one and it looked like its from the same factory
at $14.99 from amazon.com i was chuffed to bits with it. I also brought a orzly one plus one case as well.
Anyway the video on youtube does a good job in showing it of and i hope this post answers your questions and helps.

A third on the nilken... the window for the ffc and ear speaker is a slot going all the way across from the right side of the speaker to the left side of the ffc port. in between, there's a gap that doesn't need to be there. I'll try the Orzly when the time comes to replace it.
Ordered the Nillkin Tempered Glass Protector too - for me it's working fine since two weeks. Never had such a good screen protector. If you can wait the two weeks shipment from Hongkong (to Germany), you can't go wrong with it. And: it's only around ten dollars!
0.2 mm something new?
Anyone got a feedback or experience about new 0.2 mm tempered glass?
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...reen-Protector-for-One-Plus-1/1963220626.html
I mean, if you take Nillkin or Orzly, etc. they are all 0.3 mm..... and if you look at the pictures in the ali listing, the difference in thickness could be a real deal breaker...

Hi Everyone,
I recently received my OnePlus One, and it is pretty amazing.
Now the trouble that I have is choosing which glass tempered screen to get.
Rhinoshield seems very attractive, but at $25 that is a premium. If it is indeed the best, then it would be worth every penny.
Now I understand that there are many threads on Glass Tempered screen protectors, and I'm here looking for a definitive answer, as reading upon thread after thread would be inefficient.
So what is the consensus from xda on glass tempered screen brands?
Go with orzly tempered glass from Amazon. Its like 14 bucks shipped and just as good as the higher cost ones.

+1, I have the Orzly as well and its great! I dont believe in paying over $20 for a tempered glass screen protector. The Orzly is smooth feeling and with its rounded edges makes it a premium feeling protector. :good:
I have the Orzly as well, with an aluminum bumper. It fits perfectly and works well.
Dont waste your money on Rhinoshield, its a pet film and got scratches dont worth the money, better get a tempered glass protector
I have orzly too and they are just fine for me! Haven't tried any one more expensive though

I'm very satisfied with the Nillkin 9H Hardness tempered glass Screen Protector... $9.28 shipped from ebay. Fits perfect with my Diztronic case. Been in hard use for about a month with no scratches from carrying in pocket and laying on the desk. Wife carries her OPO phone in her cluttered purse with the same setup and no scratches either.
I have the Orzly and noticed some scratches near the corners, the fit and feel are great though. When I had the MIME on my Nexus 5 I would always lay it face down and didnt seem to scratch like the Orzly. Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm using Mime's tempered glass and have for every phone I've had, it keeps the screen as sensitive as it is without one, is super thin and I like how the warranty works out with it if I break it (never have and won't [fingers crossed]). It doesn't get in the way of cases like the fold-able ones or regular bumpers. I'd recommend it just because I use it on just about everything!
Ai have this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/221498913097
It fits perfect, i love it

Orzly is better than the Nilken.

Just got this protector myself and so far I am quite impressed with it compared to the old standard plastic protectors I used to use.

Awesome, did you notice any drop in signals when applying the aluminum bumper?
Tempered glass is the way to go, films like rhino shield scratch up too easily.
Got my first ever tempered glass screen for Christmas, orzly. It's perfect. I wouldn't consider anything else.
my opo is protected with a nillkin 9h glass

Exactly my reason for getting one. Its not the protection that's up for debate with me, its the oleophobic coating and superior scratch resistance.
What do you guys think of the CaseBase tempered glass screen protector?
Hello fellas.
DO we have people tired of searching tempered glass for OPT?
Dont worry! we have a substitute!
USE SAMSUNG A7 Tempered glass! It fits perfectly and is available everywhere!
Hit thanks! Cheers!
Note- Please try putting on your screen before actually sticking!
Too many Chinese copies. size of my A7 Tempered glass is perfect. if its a bit larger then too glass would come out

Thank you! I live tempered glass for my OPO and just got the OP2 but was dreading the wait for the glass to get here. Thanks!
Cheap way to get XDA Thanks???
Just buy one from vifocal.com for only 2.99 usd, free shipping, use well.
I can confirm this actually does fit perfectly and its pretty cheap.
Brought mine a few days ago from eBay, cost 99p, proper bargin, stuck on over my normal screen protector, extra safety lol, and it fits great.
I would highly recommend this, give it a shot what you got to lose.
Now I just need to find the perfect gel case.

Can anyone please recommend me a non full coverage glass screen protector for my Pixel 2 non XL that has the same anti smudges treatment (oleophobic coating) which the screen itself has? I always buy the cheapest I can find on eBay but it's a fingerprint magnet...
I already have confirmation that the Spigen has it but because it is shipped from USA shipping costs for my country Portugal are more than the protector itself... I was looking for something on the cheap size, like the Spigen (9 bucks a pair).
Thanks in advance... Cheers
The Griffin Survivor Glass Screen Protector was just released. Looks pretty good and has the coating, cost $35. Link:
https://griffintechnology.com/us/device/google/survivor-glass-pixel-2
The Whitestone is great(have one on my P2XL prob the best) but runs about $50, SGfreshidea Invisshield only makes theirs for P2XL.
Zagg Invisibleshield Glass + is also another option (coated) for $39. Link:

Thanks a lot for you answer
But 35 and 50 bucks is way more than what I am willing to spend (I should have put that info in my post, sorry). The Spigen, for instance, costs 9 bucks for a pair ... Do you have a cheaper suggestion? Also, aren't some of those suggestions full coverage protectors? I hate those since I had a terrible experience (the touch is awful, rainbow effect, dot matrix, don do well with cases, etc)

No most of those cover only the flat viewable screen, so not full coverage. The full coverage protectors will almost always pull away from the edges(also not case friendly) and are not all clear(colored borders). Most also do not have full adhesive and lots of other problems like halo, rainbow, dot matrix etc... The only protectors that will last and look right on the pixel 2 phones(especially using a case) are a bit more money but worth it if you want to do it once and be done...

Any glass protector over $10 will be advertised with an oleophobic costing. There's an entire list in the screen protector thread that all meet your requirements. I personally use the Brotect Airglass and fingerprints wipe off with ease.

Not sure if you have an Amazon presence over there. If so you could check there, it usually works out to be reasonable for Spigen products
The Whitestone dome tempered glass protector is probably the best one out now the pixel 2 XL, a little expensive tho
