Have played with my new G4 for about 14 days now and loving it.
One thing I noticed is that the frame is starting to be a bit messed up already(small scratches, lines) Have anyone else noticed this? Been using both the leather back and the Quickcircle cover, trying to handle it with care.
I guess its just something you'll have to live with, but a bit disappointed with the build quaility. Happy to see that the screen looks brand new still without using any protector.
This is my first LG, so haven't worned out a phone like this before.
i kinda know this would happen when i got my hands on the dummy on local LG store.
that's why i bought and wore a case as soon as my G4 arrive.

first i got a local cheap version of this case

but since i own a leather backed G4, and leather needs to 'breathe',
so then (and until now) i use this one

I recommend slickwrap! My G4 is still in box with stickers on until my wrap and screen protector arrive.
Any shiny surface will show scratches instantly, especially if it's soft, like plastic. Nothing you can do about it. Put a case on it and enjoy the phone.
I've been using a case with mine since day one - a soft TPU edged case with a clear rear. I've still got these tiny scratches despite this, and the fact that I take it out and carefully wipe it with a lint-free cloth every now and again. This plastic is very shiny and very soft - I wish they had used a matte or satin plastic like on the Lumia 1020 as it resists scratches far better. Glossy plastic is only any good on the display counter - it looks like crap after a few months - not exactly a 'premium' smartphone experience.
I've noticed this as well, but then again I don't use a case or screen protector haha
Mine is already cracked on the top when i dropped it from my seat on thr floor.

Amen. Same for mirror-finished metal, like on the Note 4 - that crap is only there to sell the phone, which is all that companies really care about, sadly.
When I had my Note 4, I sanded down the mirror-finish edges to a very nice satin "gunmetal" look, which I think Samsung should have used in the first place. It looks much classier that way anyway.
Ia there a way to polished the frame, paint?
So I took a look on Amazon, and a few Tempered Glass Screen Protectors are showing up for the V20.
I had an issue finding a good one with my Note 4 due to the slight curve on the edge, I ended up with one from intelliArmor that is as good as I could find for edge-to-edge coverage.
And the Note 7 is even worse. I have read through their threads for weeks, and no one has been able to find a good glass screen protector that works properly with the curved edges.
Since the V20 does not have this issue, I woukd think the glass screen protectors for it would fit without any problem.
Those for V10 will work though V20 is a bit longer in length.
be careful. the top and bottom curves. Chris Chavez of phandroid discovered this.. there's a glass protector on amazon with a 1 star review, and it's him. he has pics. it looks awful. you have to get one that doesn't cover the 2nd screen or the LG logo on bottom. basically just a rectangle.

Wow, that looks like crap. From all the pictures and videos of the phone, it did not look like there was any curves.

Can't wait myself for the V20 to be on sale. Looking forward to the deal with the B&O headphones.
look at supershieldz. they have one on there that just looks like it covers the screen itself so it shouldn't bubble up.

Yup, same with this one - https://www.amazon.ca/Protector-MoK...8&qid=1476918653&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+v20+glass
Going to return mine.
I can verify that there are curves. The Orzero 2 pack I got on Amazon (now unavailable) bubbles on the sides and top. I'm not sure tempered is gonna be an option for this phone unless it's barely covering the actual display and not the second screen at all.
Ordered directly from Nillkin. Takes a while from China but I've loved their TPGs on 6p and Note4

Good thing Amazon has a nice return policy. Sucks i already had taken off the og protector.
I ordered these for my wife an I. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LKVLTQ6/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Will report back later, they arrive sunday
you need to get one that covers the screen only. the top and bottom of the phone have a slight curve that glass screen protectors won't stick to. i have tried 2 different brands and it is the same issue. gotta find one that covers the actual screen only.
looks like I am going to return the supershieldz I ordered a few days ago...the 1 star reviews are brutal
I want a glass cover that covers the ENTIRE screen including the front facing camera. I have one for my V10 and FF camera pics are fine.
WHY do they make it with a slight curve on the top and bottom? It looks like this will be like the Note 7 where no one could find a glass screen protector that fit right.

Probably for durability. Also smoothness to the user..
Fret not guys. Nexus 6 Shamu had curved glass at the top bottom and sides and took a while to get TG that didn't halo. Granted I think for Shamu the TG OEMs used thicker adhesive on the edges , in addition to matting. Took a few revisions to get it right. The Note7 never had time for revisions.
I have been emailing back and forth with MIME asking if they were going to make a tempered glass for this phone and they said absolutely "as long as enough people contact us to show interest".

I have a few left from my V10, it's a total rectangler glass, no cut out for the front cam, do you think this will work, i've only preordered my V20, haven't got it yet so I can't test it out.

Ya I think the only good reviews on those are from the ones that got it free to review. If I see comments saying they got it for testing to review I always move on.
has anyone tried the one from verizon or no what brand it is? i will be willing to pay a small fortune to big red if it fits well
The title says it all actually:
My G6 fell and the back is broken. Anyone knows where to order this part? A replica or original does not matter to me.
I generally buy this sort of stuff from eBay will be well worth a look.
This happened to me today. Apparently the gorilla glass 5 is not as hard as I thought it was. Dropped my phone from a height of 50cm and the rear glass is broken. Thank goodness the camera glass is ok.
Btw, this is the link where I bought the new glass (with adhesive). It costs $10 and I think that's a reasonable price.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1Pc...32815415775.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.Q1wSza
Now I just need to find a tutorial video of how to replace it. Please share if you find a good one.

Did you manage to replace the back cover? I guess I have it worse, as I have my front screen glass shattered. Any idea where I could find the replacement kit?

I haven't tried it yet. I ordered the glass from china so it'll take some time to arrive.
You can get official LG parts from Spares LG website:
http://www.spareslg.com/fr/familias-smartphones-g-series-g6--h870-
There's Witrigs.
I can't recommend them though, I never bought anything there.
Post pictures with proof of fit if you're going to claim no Halo etc.
I was very disappointed that I could never find a good tempered glass screen protector for my LG V30.
Please post about your tempered glass screen protectors for your G7 ThinQ so we can help each other find the best one ( if there is one ) for this phone.
I ordered this one from Amazon.. I'll report back after I try it

I just received my lg g7 today and apied the screen protector you posted. it feels fine, but the sides and the bottom have an air gap . I am assuming it may be slightly rounded at the sides which is why it's not sticking down completely. It works for now since I can't really see it too badly. But I do wish to find one that sticks on the phone completely flat

bummer I was hoping it would lay flat. My protector arrives tomorrow and my phone arrives on the 7th
I ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/ThinQ-Temper...3941&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+g7+invisible+defender
All 3 arrived with smudges and scratches on them already so I will be returning them. I tried one of them anyway and it seems your application has to be really precise because of the curved edges.
I'm only rolling with one kind of protector... I have them on both my phones I use daily now... I don't mind paying the extra cash bc I know the quality will be top notch... No pun intended..

GPEL is the best out of the 5 other brands I've tried for the LG G7
Every other brand that I’ve tried had either adhesive only around the borders that caused touch sensitivity issues and some other clear screen protectors were too small and it did not cover the whole display area.
GPEL’s LG G7 tempered glass is the first glass I've used that actually seats perfectly with full adhesive on the entire screen, had no bubbles, no sensitivity issues and it was super easy to install.

I'm sure that screen protector has Halo.. it just has a black border to hide it
Someone on Amazon reviewed the ringke invisible defender and said it has no Halo so I ordered that one to try. I will be returning the Mr Shield protector

How hard is it to install the Dome Glass onto this phone and does the protector cover the entire chin or just the display portion of the phone?

I’ve not installed it yet as I’m waiting on phone ...I expect it to cover the chin with minimal space left to the edges ..it looks complicated when you watch online videos but I’ve installed 3 of them so far with no issues ... take your time it will go on smoothly ...

I bought the Techmatte amFilm version. Mostly based off of the wirecutter review found here: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-iphone-screen-protectors/
Granted that's for iPhone but the tests they did should be the same. I've got it installed and it was super easy, no bubbles, no problems.

Oh that sucks, are they doing an exchange? Was hoping to see that bad boy on the G7. Just curious, do you know if Amazon tends to sell all the Spigen cases?
I checked and it looks like Spigen site has the Slim Armor but no Tough Armor, while the Spigen store on Amazon has the Tough Armor but no Slim Armor

Is the cause of the halo due to curved screens? I thought the G7 didn't have a curved screen like the V30
So just got my Tmob op9 pro (traded in 6t) and it does not have a screen protector or a case with it. That is a little disappointing.

That actually surprises me. I thought they all came with a screen protector. Initially I thought a case would be included as well, like my OP7 Pro, but it didn't and that was somewhat disappointing considering they've done that before.
Weird.... Here it came with both screenprotector and case T-Mobile Netherlands
Hmm, OK maybe it's a usa thing, will see what others say.

Exactly how I feel, it's not a must but it was a bit of a step up from other phones. Just a bit of a let down
T-Mobile probably forced it, in order to sell accessories in store.

I went to the store to get my OP9P, and immediately was pushed to the case and screen protector. I too thought the screen protector was already installed but alas, it's not.

same here i was disappointed when i recieved my OP 9 pro without a screen protector
I bought mine directly from OP and got a screen protector pre-installed. I removed it immediately, because it didn't go all the way to the edges and when swiping from the edge, you could feel the edge of the screen protector and it sometimes hindered the swipe being registered.
I didn't get a case this year, though I got one with the 8 Pro last year that I bought off of Amazon.
