So, I got an email from XtremeGuard talking about some "Cyber Monday" sale, 90% off the entire site, but their code cyber90 wasn't working. Another one, save70, was working just fine, put in an order for their Spartan Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the Pixel 2 XL just now. I don't know if it's curved, full adhesive, has a dot matrix, but thought I'd just give ya'll a heads up that there's a sale going on. I got mine for $9.

EDIT: The code cyber90 works for me now, $3 shipped!
That's a worrying cutout. How is that supposed to work?

I don't care about the notch, the dimensions look like they extend to the curved part. This will lift.
Ordered a bunch of stuff, Thanks!
I was close to ordering but am worried about the lifting on the edges. Will sub to thread and keep on checking for updates!

Keep us posted on how it works.
I had one on my phone for a while.. it's not curved, it's flat, and hangs over the curved edges. It's not dot matrix. With the right case it can be bearable, but in the 2 weeks i had it on my phone the "halo" effect of the edges hanging over collected a lot of dust. Nothing got under the actual screen where the protector was adheared to it. For as dirt cheap as you can usually get these, they're not bad to have a couple around just in case.

I paid $6 for 2 protectors.. So I have a spare if the amfilm I have on my phone now doesn't survive till the Whitestone Dome protectors come out..
I used their film protector and the cutouts/dimensions were horrible and way uneven. I used to use extremeguard all the time but their quality has worsened over the years.
still works today, thanks so much ordered a couple for different phones

So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^
Out of stock still.
Out of stock and also not by Xtremeguard. $39.99 before "discount"? That's a joke.
If you're in the US you can buy it for $6.99 all the time off of ebay. Yes, slightly more expensive than their 90% off group of 2, but just shows you the ridiculous price Xtremeguard is normally charging for a product that isn't even theirs.

Did yours come in a generic iphone packaging? I was really confused. I thought they sent me the wrong product. I opened it and it does look like it's supposed to but it was just really weird.
Also, if anyone tried, how easy is it to peel off?
I'm using the xtremeguard one right now. Obviously didn't pay 40 bucks for it. Honestly it's my favorite accessory for my phone. The glass feels a bit beveled and it reminds me if the edged on the nexus 4, how they used to be so smooth. I'm sure all the tempered glass protectors feel like this but this is the one I have.

Hmm, interesting. The packaging was completely different for me. Yours looks like the actual packaging from the ebay page. Mine Also says USA126 on it, but it's some generic packaging with an iphone on the front. However, inside everything looks the same as what you got. The pad, protector, cloth, and that same blue sticker. I put on the protector yesterday and so far I do like it a lot. Also, I'm not sure if the sticker was meant for this, but instead of wiping it down with the alcohol pad, I used the sticker to pick up all of the dust before applying the protector and it worked extremely well.
Still out of stock. Might hit up that ebay screen protector.
Does the eBay protector cover side to side or is it rounded off the corners so cases don't pick it up. How's the adhesive on it? Any webbing? Does it stick fully? These eBay protectors aren't always the best. How about the oleophobic coating?

The edges appear to be rounded, they haven't picked up at all with my case. The adhesive is great, no webbing, and it adhered fully. I cleaned the phone VERY well, took off the backing from the screen protector, and gently placed it on the phone. I was surprised that I didn't have to press hard to make it seal, or do the binder clip thing that other people have talked about. I'm very happy with mine, and for $6 it's the best screen protector I have ever bought.
This makes me wish I hadn't bought my full price spigen glasTr. There's no way it's 4 times as good as this.
So far I'm happy with the 6 dollar one I bought. It came in wrong packaging, but the product itself seems fine. I use the nexus 4 replica case and it fits very well. I think I had a bit of spiderwebbing but I pressed on it with my finger and it went away. I did notice a very tiny speck of dust I must have must underneath but its not always visible even though I know where it is. There's seems to be a very small scratch on the bottom and top corner. I'm not sure if that's something underneath but again, it's hardly visible and it's not on the screen part so I don't mind.

It's not bad, I've only had it since May but so far no chips and fits great with both the slim armor and the acase superleggra . Fingerprints do show but they are easy to clean. I forget it's there, it's a ton better than any plastic screen protector and spigens customer support is great. When I installed the first one a corner didn't adhere, not sure if it was my fault but spigen sent me a new one free of charge.

They now have them back in stock and you can use code Summer85 to get 85% off.
This brings it down to 6.00
Just used Mega90off2 and works! You need to add two items in the cart. I put in a dry install screen protector 5.99 and the spartan for 49.99. With 90% off, the order came to 5.60 shipped. For a screen protector AND tempered glass protector. Even if the tempered glass sucks like most do, I have a screen protector as back up lol.
So, looks like this is definitely going to happen. Since a watch is something you hang around with a great collision risk, I think I'm going to bet for it. Also 19.99$ is not that much compared to a standard Spigen Glas protector, and the quality is really worth it.
Here is the link, it still redirects to 404 as of 09/06/14, but you can already know they are working on it.

I am bad about scratching up my watch faces. I ordered a Skinomi from Amazon but it doesn't ship until 9/19. It is a wet application but it will allow it to be moved a little during install to get it perfect. I used Skinomi on my Pebble and I liked it. I found some cheaper ones but I figured I would go with a brand that has been around for a bit.

These kind of screen protectors completely take away from the smooth feel and brightness of the screen. Trust me...I have used similar products and currently only use tempered glass screen protectors for my Note 3 and Surface Pro 3 and my family members' S5's, the glass screen protectors are the way to go to really protect our watches.

Yes as long as you buy one that has a rounded edge (taperes downward at the edges so it does not feel sharp). My Spigen Glas.tr for my Note 3 is rounded at the edges.

RXMO, I just purchased the one you were talking about. I'm just waiting for it to dry. How did yours turn out?
Depends how thin it is. I don't want something that will be noticeable. 20 dollars seems like a lot, but considering I just blew 20 bucks on a band that I probably wont be using anymore it would have been better spent on a glass SP
I got the Armorshield protector. It seems ok but there are some issues.
When applying the protector do not press down too hard on the squeegee to get all the moisture out. Leave some moisture on there, enough to move it around. When I tried to get it all out it looked like it had ripples all over it. When I left some moisture on it, it looks ok. Then let it dry the full 24 hours. I checked back at around 12 hours and the screen was all grainy. Once I went the full 24 the screen looked fine. One issues I had and I am not sure what happened but there is one spot with either some kind of tear or a strand of fabric somehow on the protector and it make one tiny spot look grainy even after the drying. I tried to reapply a couple of times and it is still there. Trying to get a replacement and it is probably isolated to me. One thing to note is the protector is kind of soft. If you were to poke it with a fingernail you would leave a dent. Over time I think the dent does go away but leaves a small mark there. I don't think my Skinonmi on my Pebble has the same problem, but it could.
Reading reviews on Amazon it seems the Skinomi screen protectors are *wrong* size, e.g. too big. Yikes!
Also, wondering if the skin interferes with BPM sensor or other functionality. The Skinomi screen and skin with brushed steel design looks good.
But, until confirmed the size is correct(ed) I suggest *do* *not* *buy* Skinomi. Anyone try these yet?

I also ordered these. I haven't heard back from ArmorShield on my replacement. I hosed something up with that, I somehow got more fibers from the cloth when I tried to reapply and wash it off. Its on there now for protection but doesn't look great. I have use the type above on phones and much perfer them, but they might be a little harder to line up. At least with the wet ArmorShield application you have time to line it up. I also didn't have any sizing issues with Armorshield.
I'm looking for an all body one. One that's covers the sides as well. But alas I will be waiting months before something like that is out and about
Let me know how they fit, i've been waiting around looking for one.
Got the iLLumishield. It feels ok but the size is just a hair too big. It has a slight lip where it hangs over the screen just by a hair. My ArmorSuit had an exact fit. Waiting for my replacement and these will do in a pinch.
$20 does seem a bit steep for such a small piece of glass. I'm going to wait for the Skinomi Tech Glass to hit the market for the 360, I have it on my Note 3 and really like it. It's thin and unnoticeable. I put a ArmorShield plastic version on the 360 just temporarily. It's okay but it still has that plastic look with some slight irregularities here and there. It seems scratch resistant enough I think the tech glass will be better. I think I paid $17 for note 3 version can imagine the Moto at less than one third the area can be worth more than $10.

Not isolated to you, mine did the same. Looking for an alternative, hopefully tempered glass whenever available.
I just applied the ones from Xtremeguard. The fit is perfect and it applied fine. But it has that classic rubbery feeling like their other screen protectors (and other brands with the same type) always do. It's fine for me. I sort of miss the glass feel but with the price I paid for it i'm okay with the slight compromise.
As the title says i'm looking for a flat TGSP. I've found that even though i miss maybe +/- 10% of the total glass being covered it's still better than nothing. I haven't found a curved TGSP for my s6 or s7 edge that i liked, and i've tried hundreds of dollars worth.. There is always some sort of issue with the full screen protectors. Whether it's Halo, poor touch, case incompatibility, poor adhesive, crap oleophobic coating, etc.
I put a flat protector on my s7 edge and loved it. For me, scratching the screen while in my pocket seems to be my biggest issue. With a flat TGSP that issue is gone. I'm using the Verizon curved TGSP on my s8+ now but i hate it. The fit is better than most, but i get a mirror effect, especially while outside, it's very hard to read the display. The oleophobic coating is horrible or non existent. Fingerprints show up like i'm at a crime scene. If anyone has ran across a flat protector that does not cover the edge please post a link or brand. Thanks so much!!
I have asked this same question several times in other Tempered glass screen protector threads. My posts get completely ignored. Bottom line is that curved protectors DO NOT WORK on these phones. They are terrible. Literally hundreds and hundreds of posts of people trying out different brands, etc, and they all suck. The only thing that works is a tempered screen protector that covers only the FLAT part of the display. I had one on my Note 7 and it worked great, I had one on my S7E and it worked great. I can't seem to find one for the S8+ yet which is why I have been asking in several threads if anyone has found a place to buy a flat area only tempered screen protector. So hopefully someone has and chimes in on this thread!!

I'd much rather have a great quality flat glass than a POS curved one any day.If i find one i'll certainly post it. Please do the same if you find one. I guess i could take some measurements and see what i can find from other devices...although the strange length of this screen I probably wouldn't have much luck.
I ordered the flat one listed on ebay. Honestly, it doesn't look like it'll be very good - square corners, just looks subpar, BUT I bet it will at least stay on the display properly. I bought two of them, they are shipped from Canada and with shipping the 2 came out to be $12 total. I will report back when I have one on. I am sure there will be more/better options for a flat only area tempered screen protector as time goes on. For now hopefully this does the job well enough.
It seems xtremeguard.com sells it flat only and full protection as well.

Ahh, OK. Thanks. You should install anyways since you have it. Flat tempered are the only kind of tempered that work on the curved edge displays. Unless you are planning on sending it back.
Have you guys taken a look at this thread yet? https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...maybe-glass-screen-protector-looking-t3596178
Uses a UV cured adhesive for full curve screen. I've never seen any protector like it before. Have one on order as well to try it out.
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
I paid for this and it works great.
Hardly any reviews for this
Just look at the ebay or aliexpress ($2). for hydrofoil and that is it. even if you have any bubbles it goes away after on day. I'm using it for over a year and still rocking. on all curved screens. it is almost the only good screen protector.

Could you please provide a link for this? I always find some stuff that isn't related to a smartphone ?

I bought these and mine came with a huge notch for the front camera. I would prefer either a hole punch like the OEM protector or no hole at all.
