I just ordered the InvisShield and wondering if it's as good or better than the whitestone dome. Prefer the most coverage and rounded edges, only using a peel case. I prefer no case and no screen protector , this is my second Pixel xl 2, 1st dropped a few feet and shattered front and rear glass. New one already has lite scratches on front glass. Never broken a screen in the last 10 years and most of the time I never use a case, this has to be the worst gorilla glass yet.
Whitestone made it's name by providing the best quality and installation of a dome glass for the Samsung, but decided to make a flat screen-only version for the Pixel 2 XL. Those that have it applied swear by it, and that it's a great piece of glass.
Whitestone chose not to deal with the awkward curve of the Pixel 2 XL, while InvisShield went at it head-first. With a curved tempered glass that pushes the boundaries of case-friendliness, with proper application (seriously not easy but worth the effort) and alignment, this piece of glass is-
Oh just look at it.

Hard to tell until I quoted your post, but those images are of the InvisShield. Looks really thick!

Has anyone found a slim bumper similar to the iPhone 4 for the nexus 5? I'm looking for something that can cover the edges and overlap slightly on the front and back. The front and back otherwise would be exposed. Aluminum, tpu, poly carbonate would work.
Something like this maybe:

I used this one in colbalt blue. It's a little raised on the front, not at the back since the Nexus 5 itself is curved. Overall, it offers good protection and does feel slim. However, it doesn't play well with my tempered glass screen protector or my dbrand bumper skins. If you have a back skin the bumper will still fit fine.

That ones pretty nice -- just don't like the joint thing on corner.
I was planning on doing normal screen protector, bumper around the edges, and a skin on the back.
Anyone have a bumper case or know of one?

MimeUSA.com makes some really great glass screen protectors for most of the popular phones currently available. These screen protectors give you the exact same feel as your normal glass screen, with the protection that you would come to expect from a good screen protector.
I emailed them yesterday asking if they were planning on making a version for the Moto 360.
They responded with this:

If people start shooting them some email requesting the Moto 360, they are likely to put one out and potentially quickly.
So everyone hop on over to http://www.mimeusa.com and send them a request for the Moto 360 to be added to their available options.
Alternatively, just email [email protected].
for my phones, I've bought ultra expensive Spigen glass protectors.. super thin, very well made, but they ended up chipping and cracking really easily. I am still sold on glass screen protectors, I have had them on all my phones since, but now I just get something cheap off ebay. Some are thicker than others, but overall, they are pretty much the same... i wouldnt be surprised if they are all manufactured by the same factory in china then just packaged and branded differently.

Quite possible, but I do like on the Mime Ghost Glass, it has a rounded edge that should fit with the edging on the glass of the Moto 360. Ive been sold on their product for my phone so if they had an option for the 360, I would definitely give it a go.
I have been looking around for a good Skin that covers even the curved edges of the Nexus 5 screen, offers best protection.I eventually stumbled upon Gadgetshieldz. They had a good collection of skins and screen protectors but i was not sure about the company nor their pricing as they were half of dbrand.I researched through the internet and found that it was an indian company
Without thinking further i blindly ordered a "White Carbon Fiber Skin"(i blindly ordered because i live in India and i was sure to get the product within a week or so) and guess what?!
The quality was excellent.I find the texture truly amazing It's a white carbon fibre.The delivery was fast than expected.The prices of these skins are half of dbrand.The skins include protection for the front, back and sides although I didn't bother to apply them on the sides due to the matte finishing.But at last i did and my N5 feels like a new phone
The downside is that there's no spray and not even a cleaning cloth that's very bad.
I've attached some pics of my Nexus 5 with the skin applied

The NEXUS logo blends really well with the skin.Overall I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. The skin is quite grippy and it's better than the original as its resistant to fingerprints. It has a nice feel to it. The cutouts are very precise
Pros: Durable,wide range,faster shipping,Extremely cheap
Cons:No spray,Cloth or cleaner
By the way if anyone is interested i'll leave the link here:https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/skinnova-skins-for-nexus-5.html
Their site:https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/
.And now that I have installed it, I can vouch for the fact that indeed its a great Skin to have for the Nexus 5.
Hope you guys like the review.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Update:With pics
Whole body covered with Carbon Fibre

Get the Ringke*INVISIBLE DEFENDER screen protector which isnt glass and you wont have any issues with any case on the market. it will never lift. comes with two protectors. ive used one for over 10 months now. dropped the phone twice. no issues. good luck.

You wont need to worry, there is roughly a 1.5mm gap top and bottom from the case to the SP. i am using a spigen liquid air case which is very thin.
Hey guys!
I am going to pickup a dbrand Skin for my OP5T.
So a skin is not protecting the camera bump. Heres my question:
Are there any guys of you using the 5T without a case or with a skin?
How's the camera bump? Are there any scratches around the glass?
I know my OP5 lost it's color on the camera bump (right off the edges around the camera glass).
Does this happen to the 5T, too?
This is what I mean, here you can see the color coming off the edges:

I don't see that on mine but I guess it pretty normal as it is the main edge that touches the surface. But should you worry? According to Jerry on YT camera is protected by sapphire glass so its definitely more scratch resistant than display
U use this one, in my job scratches come quickly, so need some extra protection

Yeah the problem is the Bump itself. I don't think the glass will scratch easily. But the bump around the glass will.. That's why I'm concerned.

Thanks man! I just bought a protector for the camera lens. Maybe it will protect the bump, too. If the protector is thick enough
