Best CLEAR screen protector ???

I need a really good clear screen protector that isn't crap. Something that will last and I don't mind spending $20+ on it. Any suggestions?

I got the XO skin case fit. It's cut more around the edge so you can use a case with it and not have to worry about it peeling the skin. It's awesome so far. It doesn't have the orange peel effect like invisible shield which I used on my Incredible and Blackberrys back in the day. Gave the XO skin a try a just to see and it worked out great. If you use SPRINTXO as the promo code you get a discount. I did, but that was about a month ago. Could still work though. With the code it's like 14 bucks I think.

Thanks, I'll give it a try, but before I do I'd like to see what other people suggest, thanks for your suggestion though!

+1 for XO Skins. I use the regular one and it works with a case, it all depends on the case that you use. Even the regular goes from edge to edge except for the bottom, it leaves a small gap of uncovered space

Even though XO skins is really good, you might dislike the rubbery feeling of the screen protector. So far most screen protectors are either too short, has orange peels, thin, oil conductor, or rubbery. I don't think there is a dry application matte protector that covers the entire screen (will have somewhat of the edge peel effect, but cases like diztronics or otterbox should lip over it). I've ordered baselant couple days ago, and I'll see how that goes, and I've heard good things about martin fields, but they're really expensive.

The screen protector that comes with the otterbox commuter is clear and smooth for operation. No discoloration or orange peel effect like I had with the I shield on it. a good option if you don't already have a descent case.

Awesome, I just ordered that case last week lol. It's coming in the 2nd so I will see it then, does it cover the whole front or JUST the screen?

+1 For XO Skins as well. Mine fits great, has no orange peel. Here is their video if you missed it. It fills in scratches and hides smudges really well.

I am using SGP Ultra oleophobic dry protector and Diztronic v3 case and have been real happy with the setup.
I had used the Verizon clear dry protector and it's hard to wipe off oil and smudges.

Sadly, this is pretty much the state of the GNex screen protectors now. You really gotta ask yourself what you like to have and what you hate.
Dry (clear/matte) - large margin around the screen
Wet - slight rubbery
I went with wet (XO skin) because I don't use swype, so the slightly rubbery texture doesn't bother me at all but having a visible border of the dry protector does. And there's no orange peel effect like Zagg.

Just ordered some boxwave cleartouch screenprotectors yesterday. Will report back when they get here.

I have always use Zagg invisible shields for every phone and tablet I have had no no issues at all. The only phone it didn't look good on was the nexus one. I just went to Best Buy and got one for the Galaxy Nexus and applied it perfect. I hope that the one sold at BB is supposed to fit the GSM model. I didn't have any issues except a very small amount at the top but not sure if that's normal because I think they are the same size.

I recommend Martin fields. It's a dry screen protector, edge to edge, and clear.I got it for $15.99 + free shipping from expansys.

Agreed. I've just took mine off and washed it under the cold tap (had dust under the screen but only just decided to remove it after 2 months or so) and it stuck back down with no trouble at all.

I had a zagg and it was okay but took a hit and luckily saved the screen which is what it is there for. I had to replace it because of the gash it suffered but the screen was fine. I had already ordered a ghost armor screen kit and decided to try it instead while waiting for my zagg replacement. Needless to say the zagg is still unopened in the box. The ghost armor has less orange peel and I also like the way the cutouts were done. The zagg looks cheap and sloppy around the speaker and camera and leaves the glass exposed. It is also prone to peeling in that area. The ghost armor does scratch more than the zagg because I think the zagg is softer. So that is the trade-off for less orange peel. The zagg does seem to heal itself a tad better but its not enough for me to put it back on.

Thanks for the photos.
And I think we could more or less reach the conclusion that if anyone wants full screen coverage for GNex, he/she has to go for the wet protectors because of the curved screen.

When I said no full coverage, I mean the visible margin around the phone because the screen protector is cut smaller than the screen. Thanks for sharing though. Its cutting is better than SGP already judging by the photos.

well, coverage is 1 thing, but it's so easily scratched. I'm using it less than 1 week.

SGP/Spigen Ultra Nano Clear Review

Got my SGP/SPigen Ultra Nano Clear install on Friday.
I'm generally very good at dry protector installs. I've done it many times and know all of the tricks.
I have a couple of issues with this product.
First, it's so thin that's it's very hard to take off the top and bottom protective screens. I was able to get it done, but I bent the plastic a tiny bit down by the home button and it sticks up a little bit there. That's really a non-issue and isn't real noticeable.
Next, and more of a pressing issue, is that the protector scratches VERY easily. I keep it in my pocket (a pretty clean pocket) and there are already a bunch of scratches on the protector. With the screen on bright, you can't really tell, but with it off, they are pretty clear.
If I have that many scratches in a 3 days, it'll probably be near unusable in a month.
I generally don't like screen protectors on gorilla glass, but I know the glass can scratch. But it's kind of silly to have something over the top of it that's already scratched up. Might as well just take a chance on the gorilla glass not scratching then.
Anyone else notice that these scratch very easily?

Have had it on almost 2 weeks now and no scratches at all. I would maybe try another one since you do get 3.

mine has some but not noticable at all unless u are looking for them. ive had mine one for about 2 weeks with a case.

I've had mine on for 5 days.. I usually find these things a complete pain to install, but this one went on first try. Mine has no scratches whatsoever, crystal clear and covers enough of the glass in my opinion. I agree it was a little bit difficult to separate the protective back layer when installing, but if you just pull it from the two tabs (top and bottom protector tabs), it will come off.

As I said, it's not overly noticeable, but with the screen off, you can easily tell there's quite a bit of scratching.
I purchased this via ebay (authorized reseller). They just wrote back and gave me a very fair offer. If I pay the $2 difference, they'll ship me out the ultra crystal product.
I took them up on their offer.

Ultra Crystal? You sure that's what they offered? That product was discontinued a few weeks ago because it peels up at the edge. It was replaced by the Ultra Nano, and the soon to be released Curve Crystal (the true successor)

Good point. Their email is a bit confusing, but I think they did mean the curve crystal.

keep us updated but im loving my nano so far.

Thanks for the review! I don't have the screen protector but I've been reading a lot of posts/reviews and it seems that the issues you mentioned regarding the tricky installation and frequent scratches are rather common. At the same time, users appear to be divided on the product...
In any case, hope things work out with the seller :fingers-crossed:

I have this screen protector and love it. It's very thin and easy to install. I can't even tell it's there. It doesn't peel up on the edges and works well with the cases that I have tried. I have had it for 2 weeks with no scratches. I don't put my phone in my pocket though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

You definitely can't tell it's there, it doesn't pull up, it feels like your finger is on glass and the fact that it didn't go all the way to the edges is minimally bothersome.
Install is tough and scratches are the deal breaker for me.
Will update if they do or don't honor their offer.

had a really easy time with this one. no lint at all underneath, looks barely visible, so far so good. just bought neo hybrid. with kyanROM this phone is just the best.

I love this screen protector. Came with my sgp ultra thin case (which I also love)
Thin, perfect cutouts, absolutely no orange peel, no distortion..
It does feel grippy AT FIRST. Use it for a bit and it feels like glass again

Very happy with mine. I haven't installed a cover in a couple years and I got the first one on fine and it is only visible if you look around the edge. With a Diztronic case, there is barely any exposed surface in the front. It was a bit tacky at first, but it quickly went away after using it.
I was going to buy the new full screen version, but I think this one might be better for future cases I might get.

i am not happy with this product, got it cause it sounded good and looked good but it doesnt last. i received/installed on 7/24/12 and not long after having it on my phone i started noticing small scratches from the few coins i would have in my pocket, then over the weekend i had it in the pocket of my cargo shorts with my pocket knife clipped on there aswell i pulled my phone out to mess with it and the protector was scratched to holy heck and starting to come loose around the home button, i carried my DX like this during the time i had it with no problems using a Zagg. if this is how "good" their product is i wouldnt buy anything else from them.

MIME Feather Glass (Screen Protector)

Hi all,
the MIME Feather Glass is out!
http://mimeusa.com/product/htc-one-feather-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/
The MIME Ghost Glass screen protector got some nice reviews for the HTC One. Does anyone have an opinion about the Feather Glass?

nice, at least a company who doesnt desert htc one like SGP, and they ship to UK. ill be getting one soon

ordered!!!
Thanks for the update on the feather screen protector. I ordered it and I will be sure to update this thread when I see how it is!

ordered!!! :good::good::good:

Ha my Ghost just arrived today and I love it. If I only knew a few days ago I may have waited but it Looks like the only difference is $27.95 and .15mm compared to the original $24.95 @ .32mm. No biggiie.
Comparing my ghost to the zagg which I had for months. The zagg is like rubbing fingers across my hairy legs, the ghost is like rubbing my beautiful wife's silky smooth thighs and butt :good:

Damn, wish I saw this thread first before replying to the Ghost Glass thread lol, but yeah, just ordered one to replace my broken Ghost Glass (I tried re-applying it after removing the review unit of the Mongrel Glass screen protector I received a few months back). MIME actually gave me a 50% off coupon for the Ghost but I noticed that they just released the Feather Glass so tried to use the coupon for that, and BANG. It worked! So now I'm just waiting for this new baby to arrive and hopefully it is just as good (or even better) than the Ghost Glass.

I ordered mine today as well. I'm very excited. IMHO I think tempered glass screen protectors are the smartphone innovation of the year! Im so glad I don't have to use that orange peel rubber feeling zagg crap anymore! I will give my thorough review here when I receive it.

I've got Feather Glass on the way as well. A case (Ballistic SG) should be waiting for me when I get home this evening. I'm trying to decide whether to put the case on or just wait until the screen protector arrives and do them both once and for all.

Please post pictures when you guys have it installed

Got it!!
So I recieved my Feather glass screen protector over the weekend. It is amazinggg
I cannot stress it enough. I dont know how to take good pictures right now since all I have is my phone.. which the glass is connected to..so yup haha
But I will say this
1) packaging is secure and very neat.
2) It comes with:
1 lint wipe thing
1 Anti dust screen applicator ( for before installation to remove dust off the screen)
1 Glass screen protector in its own slip to ensure no scratching or breaking
1 box with a cool mime face on the front
The instructions are decent in providing application pictures and is really not hard as long as you make sure to remove all of the dust off the screen. I used a alcohol based wipes which reallly help with removing the dust and making sure dust stays off while you place the protector on. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006CRYSZ8/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I placed the screen protector on very carefully and was nervous but as soon as it went on it started to natureally adhere to the screen. I got it in pretty good position and saw one bubble in themiddle of the screen. I sort of like pushed it out with my fingers and now the screen protector has no bubbles! The corners all stick down and it really feels smooth. The edges are not sharp and are rounded so has not to cut your fingers. The protector just feels like there is a ridge where the speaker grill and meets the phone. I had some gap there in the first place (zero gap my ass!) But it isnt a big deal at all
The screen is responsive and very smooth and really is great. Ive been searching for a screen protector for quite awhile and never wanted anything that wouldnt feel smooth like glass. This is so thin that it is barely noticeable and I cant say enough how great it is (so far! mind you)
PLUS I have a UAG black case and I put it on and it meets right where the sides of the protector meet so it is perfect even with the case.
sorry for no pics but if I can do it later I will

That's awesome man. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive here in Australia. Hopefully not too far off because my Ghost Glass is really playing up on me now.

My Feather Glass was waiting for me when I got home. Maybe I just got lucky but for me, it went on almost perfectly. I say "almost" because of one tiny bubble that's not visible when the screen is on. I didn't experience the problems with getting the corners to stick as some other posters have mentioned.
So with a Ballistic SG case and the screen protector, my One is swaddled up tight. I think I'll go throw it down a flight of stairs just to see what happens (yeah, right!).

I had the glas slim screen protector for the last few months and it eventually gave its life up to rubbing along sand at the beach. It had a long gash and time for a new protector. I picked up the mime feather glass from the company's website and put it on last night. I've used many protectors but none has had a separate dust sheet that the feather had. I washed my hands, laid out the dust thing and glass. I cleaned the glass with the supplied cloth, then use the dust sheet. I worried it would leave something sticky, but nothing but a dustless glass. I pealed the protector off the feather and just placed it on the HTC. It's pretty cool the way the feather adhesive flows from the middle out. But I goofed up, I was off on the bottom. So I carefully pulled it up, careful not to touch the sides. Tried again and perfect. No bubbles and perfect fit with a Poetic atmosphere case. So the verdict? Love the touch of the feather, just like the naked HTC screen. Smooth and great feel. I feel confident it will protect my screen and keep it as its meant to be, smooth.
I saw some folks asking for a pic, hope this helps.

It has the oleophobic coating so yes, it's somewhat anti-fingerprint. It's not nearly as bad as my old Thunderbolt.

Yep. It's pretty, pretty, pretty..... pretty thin. These guys say they're glaziers so I suppose they are adept at lapping the glass to this level.

Pixel 3 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Are you going to get a Tempered Glass Screen Protector for your Pixel 3? I might give caseology a try on this one but I'm probably going to wait at least a month to see reviews.
For now I'm going to try this

Get a few from these guys while you're waiting. Keep your screen somewhat protected until we have time to figure out the best screen protectors.

These flexible glass screen protectors have been a game changer for me.
http://www.protectionfilms24.com/ar...n-protector-clear-google-pixel-3-2733580.html
I prefer thin cases and traditional tempered glass is so thick that it sticks up beyond the lip of my case. These protect like glass, but flex just enough to not shatter on the first drop.
I am not affiliated with Brotect in any way. Just sharing my experience.

Until Whitestone Dome comes out with a screen protector for the Pixel 3/XL (or Belkin joins the Made for Google gang), you can pretty much guarantee that all options are going to provide a sub-optimal experience (rainbow effect, smaller than the viewable display, weak and visible adhesive, etc).
I've ordered the Verizon branded one so it's ready for when my phone arrives. I'm not optimistic in the least bit, but it's some sort of protection until hopefully Whitestone drops some love on the P3.

I hope you're right that Whitestone Dome comes out with their own version for the pixel 3. I love the one that's on my pixel 2 XL. It's perfect no bubbles

I too purchased the Verizon glass screen protector for my Pixel 3 but, when WhiteStone comes out with theirs I will def buy. Had one on my S9 and it was the total best experience for a glass screen protector. As long as you follow the directions and have patience it far outweighs any other protector with regard to clarity, screen adhesion, and toughness.

My Pixel 3 XL arrived this am sooner than expected. Was thinking of stoping by the Verizon Store to see if they have any of theirs in stock until something solid starts to surface. I have Whitestone on XL 2. It's shattered and cracked but great!! I ordered a Bodyguard but thinking of canceling it. Anyone got pics of anything installed? IntelliArmor, Verizon, etc.? Already seeing the cheap China brand reviews pop up on Amazon as bunk. Just hoping something is decent since the curve seems not so extreme.

Installed the Verizon protector last night and have to say it's not bad at all. I like that it has adhesive all over vs just the edges, so no rainbow effect. Took my time to align with masking tape (make sure the screen is lit when you do it) and I'm very happy with the end result. I had bubbles that wouldn't initially go away, but figured they would once the screen warmed up (and they did). The fit is also great, covers all of the viewable display.
I'd say this one is a winner (esp. for the price).

Do your edges lift? I stopped in a store yesterday and let them apply it. It does not stick around all the side edges and a few places on the bottom and top edges.

Did they use a template to apply it or guesstimate the application? I had mine arrive in the mail so I installed it myself. I don't have any lifting on the edges. You can try to warm up your screen by having it play a video for 20-30 mins then try pressing down on the edges that are coming up. Might work.

Did they use a template to apply it or guesstimate the application? I had mine arrive in the mail so I installed it myself. I don't have any lifting on the edges. You can try to warm up your screen by having it play a video for 20-30 mins then try pressing down on the edges that are coming up. Might work.

Nah, he eyeballed it. He also had to pull it and reset it a few times so I think he exceeded the capacity of the adhesive to handle it. I can take it in and let them try again or get a refund. Good to know there is a chance it can stick. I might hit it with a hair dryer today. I agree with you looks like it should stick.

I know it's not tempered glass but the LK wet install screen protector fits very well and the install is easy (for a wet install).
I generally don't like these type of screen protectors, but thought this would be a good quick option to hold me over until better ones are available.

I just received the iq shield 9h blah blah blah, from Amazon, and it came right back off. Worse than an old otterbox. I'll be returning it on Monday. It doesn't touch at all at the top and bottom, and barely in the middle.
I really liked their liquid skin on my one plus 3, will be going back to a soft screen protector.

Used tempered glass on my old n4 and n6 and never looked back. Tried to give the cover on the poetic case a chance for a day but I just didn't feel it had the same protection if I kept keys in my pocket. Might prevent surface scratches but would not re-distribute pressure along the entire screen if it ever pushed too hard against it. tempered glass protectors are on the way.

Is anyone using the ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass+ for the regular Pixel 3 and can give some feedback?

I hope you're right that Whitestone Dome comes out with their own version for the pixel 3. I love the one that's on my pixel 2 XL. It's perfect no bubbles

Whitestone never released a screen protector for the regular pixel 2. Not sure they will for the 3 either.

These flexible glass screen protectors have been a game changer for me.

I prefer thin cases and traditional tempered glass is so thick that it sticks up beyond the lip of my case. These protect like glass, but flex just enough to not shatter on the first drop.
I am not affiliated with Brotect in any way. Just sharing my experience.

Flexible glass screen protector installed. Edges aren't perfect, but it has good coverage around sensor and camera cutouts. Plus, it's super thin and doesn't touch the surface when placed face down.
Not bad for only $5

They did, I have one on my Pixel 2 right now

Looks interesting. Prices on their site are in GBP. Does this ship from Europe and if so how long does it take to get to the USA?

[REVIEW] UltimateShield Tempered Glass Screen Protector OP7 Pro

This will be a short review which hopefully helps OP7 Pro owners wether they should buy the tempered glass protector from Ultimate Shield or not. Please take your time and read the whole review
PRODUCT PAGE
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/products/oneplus-7-pro-tempered-glass-screen-protector
This might be the time to add that Ultimate Shield did not tell me to write this, I bought the screen protector because I have used their OP5 tempered glass in the past and was satisfied with that one. In case the pictures don't show on your screen, I've attached them in a zip file down below.
What do you get?
For £11.99 (~14€ / ~15$) and free worldwide you get one screen protector, instructions, dust removal stickers (which I forgot when taking the picture), a microfiber cloth and a wet cloth.
I bought it because I wanted a tempered glass screen protector which is curved so I can protect the whole display including the curved edges.

What about applying it?
The instructions are basically useless, since we're dealing with a screen protector which sticks to the phone with the adhesive side, so no bubbles, no "vacuum" or anything like that, as long as the display has been cleaned before nothing can go wrong, just make sure that the side slim black bar is alined with the top of the phone. Oh and you should remove the preapplied screen protector before putting this one on the display. After that it is important to apply preassure on the border of the screen protector to make it stick, and this is where things get critical, at least that is what happened to me. Even though it looks like I've prefectly placed the glass on top of the display some parts of the protector simply won't stick, or at least stick for a few minutes. I have added some photos where you can see a tiny gap. Keep in mind that I have applied A LOT of pressure on those parts, more than enough. The screen protector has rounded corners and a curved edge, it covers about 99 percent of the display.
What about colours and sharpness of the display with the screen protector?
After applying the screen protector I haven't noticed any kind of weird colour shifting or rainbow effect. It still looks as sharp as before, but due to reflections the edge of the display has some minor rainbow effect. I only notice that at a specific angle and when the background is white. Oh and it doesn't seem to cut off any part of the screen.
What about the fingerprint reader?
After deleting the old fingerprints and adding new ones with the screen protector applied the fingerprint scanner works 99/100 times, it might take a split second longer than without it, but I didn't have any issues.
What about the touchscreen and gestures?
This is where I got frustrated. After using the phone with the tempered glass I instantly noticed that the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as it was before. "alright", I said to myself, "It is completely normal that it feels different now". Unfortunately this is why I would personally not buy this screen protector again. I had to apply more pressure than ususal when tapping on an icon and so on. Sometimes the touchscreen didn't register even though my finger clearly touched the glass. This was very annoying when using the keyboard, in almost every sentence at least one or two characters where simply missing because the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as before. Same story with gestures, you need a lot more pressure and when swping up or down in order to open the app drawer or notifications it sometimes works but sometimes it takes up to three tries in order to get the gesture to work. In comparison, without the tempered glass screen protector I had no issues at all.
SUMMERY
Applying it was easy but when I did it it didin't stick as good as I hoped it would. The tempered glass screen protector doesn't really change colours, which is a good thing. THe touchscreen experience was comparable with one of those older smartphones where you had to use more force and it wasn't as accurate. Overall, I can not recommend it for the price, unless you use the touchscreen with a lot of force. If you think that I didn't apply it correctly feel free to "call me out" in the comment section and tell me how you would have done it.
UPDATE
Since the tempered glass didn't stick very well anyway I went ahead and carefully removed it and moved it about 1mm downward. Unfortunately the touchscreen is still not responsive enough to use the keyboard without any issues which is why I contacted Ultimate Shield directly via Email. (still waiting for them to reply)
FINAL UPDATE
They answered and after looking at the images I send them they said that it might be faulty because according to them the black adhesive should stick much better than it did in my case. They were kind enough to give me a refund! If you bought one and had a much better experience please tag me so I can quote your opinion!

Probably cus it's not full adhesive. We need to wait for Whitestone or something like that

Probably, I think my application was good, I guess the adhesive can't do the job when it comes to the curved edges...

Too bad OP didn't release one at launch. I assume they will down the road like they did with the 6T.

Well the 7 is just the 6T, so they just have to update the packaging

Not trying to be funny but was there an indication on the protector as to where the top/bottom was?

Well the flap of the protective foil that was on the the glass was probably the indicator.
That and the fact that the bottom part of teh black frame was way wider than the upper part...
About 2mm of black adhesive on the buttom and 1mm on the top...
EDIT:
It wouldn't make sense to aline the the thicker black line with the thin bezel
I've sent UltimateShield an email concerning this issue.

I've ordered same protector for delivery tomorrow, getting the phone today so I'll give it a go, how is it with cases or have you not checked? I've ordered the Ringke Fusion-X too so would hope they'll work together.
Watched this video of the PureGear protector, from XDA fave TK Bay, which looks mucho pricey but seems to play nicely with, at least, official cases.

the glass doen't fully the cover the display, there's about 1 to 1.5mm between the tempered glass and the frame of the phone, I can use the transparent TPU case that came with the phone without any problems

Thank you for your review. I currently have a film on my screen now. I was thinking about purchasing a tempered glass shield for my 7 pro especially since T-Mobile has the Puregear one on sale for 10 bucks off (if I'm not mistaking) but I'm not sure.

I actually ordered the same tempered glass,but I noticed that it wasnt clear and that the black outline on the edges was the adhesive. It doesn't truly embrace the curved screen, but you can use it for the back of your phone. I glued to the back of my 7 Pro with the clear case on. Your phone will look like a beast

interesting approach xD

I'm waiting for this to show up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP5KJXV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seems like a Whitestone clone. Hoping it's decent.

Got one too. Install was super easy but like said in OP, sensitivity gets way worse. I would not recommend.

Do you know if the product is in stock?

Looks like the OP product was replaced by a newer full adhesive version:

The screen of my 7Pro looks like new. I never used a screen protector. Just the sandstone hardcase for the back.
