Hello everyone.
I've been searching online for a specific type of screen protector but I couldn't find one.
Then I started searching for some company that provides custom cut screen protectors but most of what I found was located in the US so service and shipping cost are unreasonable for me.
The goal is to get a custom screen protector leaving enough uncovered space in the upper left corner of the LG G4 front panel to stick a camera cover there. I made some quick overview of the idea into a pic (scanned a cover and a screen protector and made some mockups) - see below.

Of course I've broken a few screen protectors already trying to cut them to my needs myself, both straight up snapping off the corner hoping it would snap like I hoped it would as well as trying to first scratch a small groove along which I wanted it to crack - all attempts ended in a web of cracks starting in that corner and extending throughout majority of the screen surface. I also know I could use a thin plastic screen protector (the sticker type) and cut it with scissors but those need to be replaced every other month as they wear out, plus they provide inferior protection overall. I'm talking tempered glass type of stuff.
So, my questions are:
Anyone knows a supplier around Europe or preferably a shop on Aliexpress offering this kind of cut-to-measure service? Cost effectiveness matters.
Maybe you've seen this kind of screen protector somewhere?
Have you seen a smaller cam cover as well? The standard one fits fine in this case but a smaller one would simplify things.
Or maybe someone here has an idea how to correctly cut/snap/dissolve a standard screen protector? An inexpensive tool or a DIY method?
Why would you want this? Just use a normal screen protector that covers the camera like everyone else

I have read through the 2 thread about the screen protectors and full body screens, but its not clear which ones cover the buttons.
I have a gel/hard case combo cover the phone (great fit and protection) so I just need the screen, buttons, and chin covered. I am leaning towards Best Skins Ever full body protector, but I can't tell from the picture if it covers the buttons. It looks like it covers the screen and chin, but its not clear if it protects the buttons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I already had to return one screen protector from amazon b/c they sucked.
It does not cover the buttons. It pretty much covers everything except the buttons. I got mine last night and installed it. Took a good hour and some bubbles are still left, but they're all drying out and my phone is looking shinier than ever! I strongly recommend best skins ever. Great customer service too.

Bse here as well. Screen only. Tpu case for the rest.

i don't think they make a screen protector that covers the buttons
Sounds interesting, but It seems like it would be kinda weird
I think it would be extremely difficult to efficiently cover the buttons because they're actual physical buttons, not flush capacitive "buttons". If you were able to cover them with a material, it would likely peel up after a short time.
Check out Ghost Armor. The material will cover the buttons individually. It also has a lifetime warranty.

+1 on this. The buttons get kind of dirty around the edges after a few months, but it's free to get them replaced. They'll coat the entire phone for 35 I think, and I've only ever had to fully change mine once and I originally got it done last December. Only reason I had to change it was because I warranty exchanged my phone for a new one.
What about this case

Edit:
Found it here http://www.amazon.com/HTC-myTouch-4G-2010-T-Mobile/dp/B0058FTQLQ
but you can't use the track-pad unless you cut a hole out
Okay here’s the problem…..

didn’t gave me a solution in how to protect my camera and keep the phone slim.
Well after searching my ass off I found this case that on the one hand gives maximum cam protection but on the other hand blows the phone up like hell. The thickness of that case was unacceptable for me.
So here’s what I did:
I took an cheap soft silicon case from here
and a furniture pad, scissors, scalpel and a pencil like this:

I Cut the holes in the furniture pad where the SGS3 needs them and stuck it on the TPU case...... et voilá:
In addition to the hama navi bag in which I already carried my retired SGS1 around this seems quite a protection against dust, coins and so on….
No worries, if I need a fancy housing, I chose this flip case, which has as you can see quite an acceptable camera lens protection as well.
But as neither my self made solution nor my flip case satisfies me completely I´m still looking for your solutions….
My dream would be a back cover that has a build in function as my old Nokia 6680. For those who won´t remember just like this....
Open:
Close:
Anyone knows a backplate with such a cool mechanism? I think as quite a few people seem to be concerned about scratching their cam lenses due to the design of the sgs3, such a back cover would sell like (as we in germany say) warm buns....

Why dont used ultra thin glass protector? They not really cheap, but offering great protection and no noise

2 reasons:
1. I don´t wanna mess up the cam Quality
2. I don´t wanna put glue to the cam lens, which might not get off properly again!
and by the way I´d have to cut the lens protection out of this >>ultra thin glass protector<<, which is again piece of handicraft.....
Hi everyone, I accidentally stumble across this Nillkin Full Surface Coverage Tempered Glass.
Hence is here for sharing.

Anyone already already purchase and try this? Kindly give some reviews ^^
I will share my opinions once my order arrived.
1. Something you need to know:
i.) Thickness? 0.3mm
ii.) Full-cover? Yes, with little almost 0.1mm space between corner (almost suitable for every phone case)
iii.) Full-adhesive? No, just side-cover.
First of all, regarding the tempered glass, as expected from Nillkin, it feels nice to touch, (probably good Oleophobic coating)
This tempered glass is crystals clear, but also highly reflective, hence maybe have issue with outdoor sunlight.
There is also one thing, i not sure what it is (maybe nano coating?) where you can see orange across the whole tempered glass, but it not noticeable when phone is active.
Next, about space between corner, it leaves about 0.1mm. Hence for certain phone case, it might leave a huge big space, but for normally one. It should be fine.
first image without phone case, second with phone case.
Also, to be noted, it not fully-adhesive, means there a huge chance that there will air trap inside when applying (it takes many tries to apply perfectly), when there is air, a (1) bubble will form at center, around 0.2-0.3mm size, that will cause halo effect when u press too hard.
About quality, i captured my phone under lamp light. I really can't comment much on it. It's clear, but reflect my own image >w<
I've had it on my A1 for about a week now and it looks good and blends in quite well. You won't even notice it's there. It covers a very tiny portion of my screen on the sides though that may just be on how it's applied. I recommend using a case so that thickness the tempered glass adds won't be noticeable.
I used it. It broke after two days when I have inserted the phone in the windshield support. My wife still has it on her phone, but it's already broken after one month of normal usage. I have used other glass protections on other phones before without this kind of issues. But this one is very fragile. When removing, I also noticed it uses a kind of soft glue. I was happy I haven't kept it longer on my phone. So, although it looked good in the beginning, I can't really recommend.
Today i received case and tempered glass from Nillkin. First i need to say that i always have good experience with they tg. When i install tg i turn off phone. But my advice is that you install tg when you have screen turn on. You will get better perception where to install tg. Tg is perfect size to cover screen. Case friendly. And you get all for installation. In package you get some tipe of tg for back camera.

Twinkle case that i get is soft case. Case is made from 5 different materials. The frame is environmentally friendly and flexible TPU, PC back shell. Combination of hardness and softness. Easy to apply and take off. Affixed with high-grade PU leather and blended with reflective glass particles. The surface is woven polyester mesh. Reflective glass particles process makes it twinkling under different light. Case have some rainbow effect on back side that looks cool when you are outside. Case is slim, very good in hand with ok grip. Buttons work perfect, cutouts are where they should be.

Nice! I'm looking for a screen protector that works with a Speck case and this might fit the bill.
Based on my S7 experience, the lip of the Speck case can cause issues for screen protectors that cover too much of the face.
EDIT: It's cheaper off Aliexpress vs Nillkin storefront
That screen protector looks much smaller than the device screen.

Yes, It covers only the visible screen part. The bottom"lip" part stays uncovered.
Can you post a photo with the phone's screen on? That'll help us see the coverage better. Thanks!
When I ordered my Pixel 4, I ordered a few various screen protectors and cases to have ready when it arrived. I'm very happy to report that the first one I tried out has turned out so well that I just threw all the other cases/protectors in a drawer to collect dust.
Amazon Link ($7.99)
I installed the case first to use as a guide to install the protector and the end result is the most perfect protector install I've done on any phone, with perfect alignment and no dust trapped underneath. There is no "halo" line to be seen where the clear part of the protector meets the black border around the edges, either. I was quite worried about that.
I initially intended to use this protector (or another one) with a Spigen TPU case, but the case that comes with this protector is so good (with a slim snug fit and perfectly tactile button feel) that I have no desire to remove it. I love the combo so much that I decided to order another one to have as a spare in case they ever disappear from Amazon.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this with others who may be looking for full coverage protectors. Here are a few pics I took. Any dust seen is on top of the protector. Living in a brand new house, it's impossible to escape, unfortunately.

Does the screen protector adhere well on the edges? Or does it rise up?

Sorry for the delay. The edges adhere with no issues. I haven't had any lifting at all. It's still perfect.
Full coverage protectors always seem to chop off a bit of the display. Usually noticeable in apps that have objects near the edges. How does this one fare?

I disagree. I have installed many screen protectors and this one does not confirm to the curved edges of the screen. The case is excellent though.
I bought it just today, waiting for it to arrive to me in Italy (about 10 days). From the photos I can see that they are a winning combination!
