Hey everyone, I wanted to provide some commentary briefly on the accessories I received for my One X yesterday from HandheldItems.com.
I ordered:
(1) black HTC One X TPU Case (Product Code EcHtcOneXTpuChkBlk) and
(3) HTC One X Matte Anti-glare Screen Protectors (Product Code HhiHtcOneXScnMat/HhiHtcOneXScnMatX3)
Comments:
First, the TPU case is good. It fits the ports wiht appropriate cutouts, it fits uniformly over the front of the device, and it looks nice. It is a glossy TPU case (I have seen some cases that are matte or are a mix of matte and glossy - this one is completely glossy). It provides several millimeters of depth to the front of the device to keep the screen from resting on whatever surface you might place the device down on. Also, the camera opening on the back of the device is such that it conforms to the camera lens surround and provide depth such that the lens doesn't touch whatever surface the phone is resting on. It does not however provide as much lens coverage as, for example, the Casemate Barely There cases. But it was also less than half the price of that case.
The screen protectors are unfortunately another story. The matte finish is nice and it reduces reflections considerably. Like any matte protector, it is evident that there is a screen protector on the device and the clarity of the screen is affected, but only minimally. If you're a purist though you may not like the look - I have always preferred matte screens. The fit is the problem with this product though. They are too long. To get the screen protector to adhere fully at the top of the screen, the bottom corners push off the screen onto the phone body and do not adhere. I tried two different screen protectors and had the same result (I ordered the three pack). Also, the screen protector only conforms to the curve on the top of the screen, not the bottom (I tried screen protectors in both orientations and it seems clear that the curve of the screen at the top of the phone is slightly more pronounced than the curve of the screen at the bottom of the phone). Also it would be nice if they were slightly wider because as is if you are slightly to the side then the full active portion of the screen will not be protected (there is only approximately 1mm of margin left/right).
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to share as I didn't have an opportunity to take any but I think my commentary will give you the necessary info. I'll try to take some pictures this evening unless someone beats me to it.
Here are some pictures of the phone with the case and screen protector. Handhelditems.com is working with me to eliminate the concerns I have with the screen protectors.

So with the screen faced up, the lens cover doesn't touch the table, right? If so that would be fairly adequate protection (As it has been for my Optimus 2X). Does the screen protector fully adhere to the screen? I've had problems with phones that have curved edges on the sides of the glass. It makes it impossible to use static-based screen protectors and I'm no fan of the ones with water application.
some close up pictures for the camera lens area would be appreciated...good and short review...by the way,what's the price?
What the pros and cons of tempered glass screen protector vs a Film screen protector?
My concern about the Tempered glass is that :
--it's adhesive is only on the bezel area and since phones today have smaller bezel so it might get detached easily
--Tempered Glass might scratch the glass beneath it
--If adhesive of the Tempered glass became less sticky Dust might accumulate inside
So can you tell me your experience with tempered glass screen protector? I really want to hear from someone who used this screen protector for long time and not on these reviews on youtube since they only used it on the time they review it.
And also does anyone tried using combination of Film and T.glass protectors?
I also second this. Anyone that has this screen protector please respond.

I just found out that Spigen is selling a new type of tempered Glass screen protector it is "GLAS.T" it's different from the old one. This new one is all transparent and has adhesive all through-out the back part of the screen protector, unlike the old one which has paint on the borders and only adhesive on the painted area.
Spigen has GLAS.T for Note 1 Anyone that used the product for about 5-6 months now?

I have a tempered glass screen protector for my Note 3 and it fits and works perfectly. It's been on my phone for 2 months now. Not a single scratch to it and no peeling or dust accumulation at all. I would recommend one any time over a plastic protector. I got mine from a company called fasttech. They are very cheap compared to UK sellers and the company is very reliable even considering that they are Chinese.
Tempered glass has an adhesive throughout the whole surface, not only the bezel/perimeter area.
The difference is very simple. If you want scratch protection, get a film screen protector, but make sure to get quality PET 3H hardness film like the one sold by iSmooth and Spigen. Cheap ebay stuff is thin, will scratch, will bubble after some time, and will have rainbow effect under the florescent light. If you want ultimate shatter protection - get tempered glass. On impact the glass will shatter without affecting your display. Spigen and Seidio makes some of the best ones. I'm personally a big fan of Seidio VITREO and been using it on my Note 2 for a very long time.
for LG g2 temperate glass or we don't have to buy anything
I use the tempered glass for the LG G2, i think its better than a film protector.
No bubbles nothing, very clean. if you dont look at the edges u wont see there is a protector.

i've really no bubbles, just use the type method to remove bubles cause by dust.
the cons is that film protector changes a bit the polarization of my glass so it has more strange effect on very high view angle

The advantages of T. glass over films are the following.
-. Scratch - (almost)free : sellers boast it is harder than stock display, but I don't agree with. Glass screen protector also gets scratch.
-. Superb feeling : yes. its feeling is real better even stock display including any premium film. http://vimeo.com/91463403
-. Bubble -Free : Yes. it is easy to install and you don't worry about bubble.
Disadvantages
-. Price : $5~40 : I have tried $5 and 40 as well. I don't recommend both $5 and $40. you can find good one between them.
-. Thickness :0.15~0.4mm : Compared to film, it is bulky. Sometimes it won't be compatible with certain cases. (I don't recommend too thin one, since it is easy to brake before doing its protection job)
i have used a glass screen protector for the last month until it broke when i dropped my phone from hip height. i am extremely satisfied by the product. as it is rigid, it is very easy to apply and in contrast with plastic film protectors, the tempered glass lets your fingers glide on the screen. i was also impressed by the fact that after 1 month's use my phone had zero scratches, even though i was kind of provoking scratches by the way i was handling the phone. never going back to plastic film, not a slight chance there.
I've run a gauntlet recently with screen protectors and cases with my galaxy s7 edge. I can definitely tell you the pros and cons between tempered glass and soft film screen protectors.
Tempered glass pros- much sturdier, better scratch resistance, looks better. Easier to install. Longer field life. Better phone protection all around.
Tempered glass cons: some cases won't work with tempered glass unless it has a top that fully covers the glass. Dust buildup under screen protector, less sensitivity- much less. Won't work with an otterbox symmetry because the sides and front push the glass up and out but does work with the defender because the defender covers the edge of the screen. If sand or dirt gets underneath glsss, it could scratch up your screen. Very thick too.
PET film pros- better sensitivity, will work with any phone case. Sturdy enough for the most part. No issues with dust buildup under the cover. Works with any case and has better adherence. Very thin.
PET cons- they look cheap and scratch more easily than tempered glass and you can tell that the phone has a screen protector. Harder to install. The protector scratches but the phone screen doesn't. Shorter field life.
Personally, I prefer PET film screen protectors to tempered glass but to be fair, I have an edge phone and glass screen protectors with edge phones can be more finicky than flat phones. Glass looks better, but aside from drop protection and looks, they don't keep the dirt out and can be a chore with the wrong kind of cases, or simply won't work.
I think film is much more versatile and I'm willing to trade some aesthetics in favor of usability. That's my 2 cents on both types of screen protectors based on recent experience.

And liquid bubbles with soft cases go away in a few days. Air must be popped and dust must be removed physically but moisture does dry out. You can tell a moisture bubble because it has rainbow swirls if you view the phone on a screen with a white background.
Don't try to iron out small moisture bubbles or press them out. They go away on their own within a week and if you mess with them you can bend your soft screen protector out of shape or get divot lines.
Also, if the soft screen protector has the oleophobic coating, it does work very well, in fact it's almost if not better about prints and crap on the screen than actual glass screens. Plus, tempered glass can be a problem on certain phones.
My friend has a note 5 with a tempered glass screen protector and he dropped his phone (no case) so instead of the screen shattering, the back of the phone did. Protectors work, but if you have a glass coated phone- better have a case on it.
Hi there,
I wonder has anyone seen an a screen protector that covers ONLY the screen of the z3 compact (z5 also compatible).
I'm looking for something to go with my ToastMade front panel which covers everything but the screen.
Its rather thick (I think about 0.3mm) so the off-screen gestures are quite a hassle.

I know about Nillkin, their protectors are rather nice, but thats not what I'm looking for.
I want to cover the SCREEN ONLY, not the entire front like Nilikin and the other screen protectors do.
I don't know of any glass protectors like this, but when you buy a skin with a front piece from Dbrand, they include a plastic screen protector (two, actually) that's cut to the size of the screen so it fits within the frame of their front skin.
It obviously won't be as thick as glass, but it might possibly help you out just enough with the screen edge gestures and I know it's a little convoluted to buy a whole $10 skin just to get a screen protector, but I figured it might help if you get desperate And at least, you'd be getting two of them for your money.

First, start off with the screen protector:
Nillkin Amazing H+ tempered glass screen protector ~$6 USD
Recommended if you are highly skilled, you need to be highly skilled to apply the screen protector perfectly and no mistakes. Because once you get air bubbles underneath the screen protector, it's nearly impossible to get it out. Plus if you remove and reapply, you will pretty much get permanent bubbles at the corner. Once you lift it up even with little force, the adhesive is pretty much destroyed. Other than those cons I will think it's an okay screen protector, if you can get it on spot the first time without air bubbles.
It's coated with oleophobic coating, so you will probably get less fingerprint on your screen, it's thin with 0.2mm thickness (can flex slightly more without breaking it comparing to conventional screen protector).
Conclusion: It's an excellent screen protector if you can apply it in one go perfect alignment, no dust etc. Otherwise if you are a newbie (like me) it's definitely not for you, look for other screen protector or ask someone who is great at installing screen protector apply it for you. But for the price, I can't complain. I will get another thicker one (0.3mm) in few days time as I don't like imperfect applications.
Tips: Do not take out the screen protector until you are ready to apply it. Use all the accessories Nillkin provided before applying the screen protector, clean your screen with wet & dry wipes first, and then use the anti-static film to remove remaining dust on the screen. Your screen shouldn't pick up any dust for 2-3 mins unless you are in a very dusty place. When you finally ready to install the screen protector, remove it from the protective film case and then apply it on your screen. Don't peel off the adhesive protection film altogether at start, instead pull 30% off and then try align to your screen properly, once confirmed then only peel it off completely. If you have bubbles on the side, just keep pressure on it for around 1-2 mins and they will be gone.
2nd screen protector:
Nillkin Amazing H tempered glass screen protector ~$5 USD
Highly recommended, this one the original Amazing H screen protector is much more better than the H+ screen protector. It doesn't have the slight color fade after applying compared to the H+ version. Although it is slightly thicker (0.3mm) and doesn't curve like the H+ at the edges, I still recommend this one over the H+, and check it out! No halo effect, rainbow effect, ring of light effect nonsense.
Just get this one if your just an average user and needs some basic protection (of course this one also have oleophobic coating), this one will do the job perfectly, and it's cheaper too.
USB cable:
Nillkin USB Type-C 5V/2A charging and data cable ~$3
Recommended, supports 5V and 2A charging which our phone supports, supports data connectivity too. You can wrap it up if you don't need to excessive length of it. The Type A connector are also reversible, which is a plus.
For some reason I felt that the cable quality is not that great compared to my 2 years old Nillkin Micro-USB cable, seems like they have cut cost in order to sell it at cheaper price. But it does the job perfectly.
Conclusion: If you are not looking for fancy cables and just want a flat and cheap cable, this one is definitely for you.
Case:
Nillkin Mi 5x/A1 Frosted Shield case ~$5.50
Highly recommended. I always bought Nillkin case, although it doesn't cover the upper and bottom part of your phone. It looks really slick and provide very comfortable grip for you. Note that the cover only give very minor buffer between your screen and surface if you put your phone upside down. Adding any tempered glass will definitely cause it higher than the case. Although it only gives basic protection, but it doesn't look that bulky compared to those TPU case.
I always love Nillkin case, they made very good cases for each phone, and their quality is very good too. (Although I got face some crack in old case before, but it's rare)
Conclusion: If you are looking for a case that won't make your phone looks bulky and add some grip, this case will probably suits you. But take note that only gives basic protection, any drops will be bad.

Hello, friend. After I see the Nillkin screen protector on A1, I have some doubts, as the edge part is a little cracked from the photo. I don't know why this. As Nillkin is a good quality phone accessory brand. If the Nillkin screen protectors can be 2 pcs pack, then it is better. As if you are a newbie, and you broke the first A1 screen protector by careless, you can try the second one.
As we are the seller, so we sincerely invite any people who are interested in our Xiaomi A1 screen protector kit for free. 10 candidates are needed and no money at all. Just the real feedback to prove our customer values. If you are interested, you can contact us at [email protected] , emails are replied within 1 working day.
Why we choose this kind of screen protector for Xiaomi Mi A1? As we know, currently a lot of phones are made based on curved screen. It is a challenge for screen protector manufacturers. If the screen is flat, who does not like transparent full screen coverage protector? But now it is a curved screen phones era. While glasses cannot bend. So 2 solutions to solve this problem.
1. Transparent screen protector with curved edge not covered
Disadvantage: The screen protector is smaller than Xiaomi Mi A1 whole screen and it can only cover the flat part and left the curved edge not covered. Anyhow, if you have a protective case which can hold the A1 front space by little, it can be a good makeup for this issue. Besides, it is not that easy to install as you need to align the screen protector with the phone flat screen by eyes. You need a screen protection applicator, the screen applicator makes perfect alignment for Xiaomi Mi A1 and screen protector. Cleaning cloth and sticky dust remover makes bubble and dust free application.
Advantages: High transparency and good touch compatible. As there is full glue under the whole screen part, it will keep the touch sensitivity.
2. Full screen protection protector for Xiaomi A1 Kit
Disadvantages: This full screen protection protector is with glue on the edge only. In the middle there is no glue. So it will make the screen less sensitivity for some flaw screen protectors. The flaw rate is about 1%.
Advantages: It is full screen protectors so you will not see white edge at all. And flosmall put a TPU transparent case for Xiaomi A1. Besides there is a lanyard so you can carry the phone anywhere you want.

If you don't mind it will get scratched from day 1 then I'd say it's doing pretty good at protecting your screen. Plus it won't have those Halo / Rainbow effect etc. kinds of problems.

Officially Motorola didn't provide any information related to screen protection of moto g40 Fusion on it's site or anywhere else but some of the experts & youTubers have confirmed that it has some sort of protection, lies within GG 3 to GG 5, so U don't have to worry about scratches in day to day usage.
...but no matter what Gorilla Glass or scratch resistant comes with it, obviously wont protect that screen from getting damages if it fells on hard surface from as low as 3ft. height. That's why it is always advised to have a good Tempered glass/Hardened glass screen protector & a good quality back cover as well.
I'll suggest U to follow the same, just do some research, read some users' review before U buy any of those.
Good Luck n Tk cr.
Even if they have used ceramic glass in your devices' screen, it's better to add a good quality screen protector is ideal. It's easy to replace a screen protector if your screen looks shabby than replacing the screen itself. I personally use screen protectors from Gadgetshieldz it covers the edges perfectly and the scratches are invisible with their liquid film protector. But do your own research and find what would be the most suitable option for your device.
