Has anyone tried this brand? It looks to be a great deal!

The glass is probably comparable to Whitestone Dome (the entire process isn't revolutionary, it's only Whitestone that's really capitalized on it, probably because it's not incredibly popular amongst the average user), but afaik they don't include the alignment tool, which is a bit of a hassle since doing it by hand isn't very easy.
They have a Youtube channel with a lot of informative videos if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkRy3caY4LO9aU4JyAE4NTA/videos
I used a off brand too for on Galaxy S7 Edge and it working almost as good as the WhiteStone Dome I did on my S9. I would be willing to give this a go, its almost half the price of a WhiteStone.
I just ordered it with Express shipping. I'll lyk how it goes.
It'll be here Friday. I'll install Friday and let everyone know how it goes. I've used Whitestone done before and found the quality to be awesome although I thought they were a little fragile. Hopefully these hold up a little better.
Please post pictures of the glass when you get it. I've asked them last week about it to see what it looks like but they never got back to me.
I will be waiting for your review as well. My Pixel 3 gets delivered tomorrow and I am having trouble choosing a screen protector.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9zsfep/sgfreshldea_tempered_glass_screen_protector/
I got mine a few days ago and I put it on yesterday. It's really good, you guys. But you just have to be super careful and precise when you put it on.
I made a mess and I put the glass upside down for a second. But when I flipped it I didn't completely clear the liquid from the front side (I should've done that properly). And it kinda ruined the touch feeling of it (uneven spots). So I took it off and now I'm using something with dot matrix (ew puke). I'll order more pieces again soon.
Just got and installed the invisible shield glass+ visionguard screen protector. I purchased directly from the Google store with a credit I had.
It's nice and fits almost exactly over the visible screen of the Pixel 3. Anyone who had the Spigen screen protector will remember how exactly it fit the visible display. The included guide is ok but not great, since it's flexible enough to allow the screen protector to sit a little bit askew. Not a huge deal, but the bottom of my protector is off a hair to the left and the top is off a hair to the right. Not enough to notice unless you were intentionally looking for it. No halo anywhere and the install was pretty easy.
First impression is that it is nicer than the caseology screen protector I was using before, both because it is a touch wider and it seems a touch clearer. The caseology protector was good, but this is better. That said, the caseology protector is much cheaper and this is very expensive at $45.

Ordered this screen protector( http://tinyurl.com/24pks3g) on Mon. Hope it comes today since that is when I will be getting this phone. Anybody ever use clearfreak screen protectors before? Any good? I hope it doesn't look orange peely like the zagg on my g1.
just got my clearfreak yesterday but won't have the phone until 7/23
it feels thinner & more flexible than the zagg , and the cutouts are correct for the vibrant where the zagg has the cutouts for the i9000

Thanks for sharing the coupon! I just ordered one. It will probably get here before the phone does
Thanks, I'll be ordering one as well .
I'm thinking of picking one of these up.
I've used a Zagg on my G1 which was nice at first, but became real ugly after a while. I eventually removed it because it looked really gross on the edges.
How does this compare? I plan on only getting the screen cover, don't need the back covered.
Why is it cheaper on ebay? It appears to be the official clearfreak ebay account, but their prices are much better (even with coupon) than their website offers. What gives?
Any reason not to put this on my phone? What I liked about the Zagg was that I could just wipe it down once with my shirt and all the smudges were gone instantly. I also liked the smoother surface for gliding my finger. It seems without the Zagg my G1 screen had too much friction.
I've used lots of different brands of screen protectors and found the Invisible Shield to be my least favorite. They are a good product, I just don't like the texture of them - it's a personal preference.
I'm considering not using a protector on this phone, though. I always used a screen protector in the past, even on my clamshell phones, but the durability videos floating around are pretty impressive. Not sure if it's technically Gorilla Glass, but whatever they use, it seems pretty damned tough.
For those of you with a unit in-hand, how durable does that glass seem?

I got mine yesterday but I am not quite ready to test the durability. Maybe a braver soul can help though.
BTW I am in for one from Clearfreak from eBay.
Also I don't recommend buying the T-Mobile screen protector, it doesn't cover the whole front, which on this phone is just weird.
I'm not sure about durability as I'm not willing to do any crazy test, but it's going to be hard going with a screen protector b/c the screen is just so nice to use.
That glass really does a nice job with fingerprints. Obviously they're still there, but the glass seems to reduce the effect and they aren't noticeable at all when you're using the phone.
I hear that most screen protectors make fingerprints more noticeable and aren't nearly as smooth.
yet but no matter how hard the glass, it will show degradation from windborne sand, grit etc, or grit/sand in your pocket, salt on your fingers etc
i've got watches with hardened sapphire crystals that i have to polish occasionlly with diamond grinding compound (same stuff used on optical lenses) cause the surface shows microscopic pitting, scratches etc
I've only every used clarivue protectors in the past. I liked them and I will probably post from them when available. Not sure how it will work with swype though.

hey when you get your clearfreaks on your vibrants, can you post how you feel about them. Im lookin for a protector for the captivate and am nitpicky about image quality and touch sensitivity.
I bought the T-Mobile screen protector and I'm not happy at all. It gives the screen a grainy look. I just ordered the Clearfreak one. Its $5.99 on Ebay sold by them.

I second this. I removed mine immediately! It turns an amazing display into an average one. Looking forward to the clearfreak reports.
From looking at the eBay pic the ClearFreak doesn't have cutouts for the front facing camera. I checked the Zagg site and their's does.

There isn't a Front Facing camera for the Vibrant. The one on Zagg is a cutout for the i9000.
Ok I just installed the clearfreak screen protector, followed the directions on their video and and it came out alright I guess, not perfect though. I'm sure it will take some time too set in , but I can see some fingerprints even though I had them wet the whole time. hopefully it improves. When the phone is lit up you can't see any of the flaws and swiping through screens is flawless and very responsive.
I have include two pics, mind you these were take within 30 min. of installing it.

Update: After a few hours it has settled in quite nicely. The finger prints that I thought were there initially are now gone and is super smooth almost too where I forget its even there. Good buy!
the martin fields video had a nice tip for handling the screen protector without getting fignerprints on the sticky side
check the video on their website, but it was a simple idea - using two pcs of scotch tape on either side with half of of the tape not on the protector - gives the user a small "handle" area to use to hold the screen while trying to position it correctly on the phone
just a suggestion

I go to walmart get 3-4 sheets for about 8.00 and cut them to size, they work great.
Leave your screen protector on.
If you haven't taken it off yet, Don't! Just get a gel case and tuck that little tab at the top of the screen protector back and slide your case over it. The SP that comes with the phone seems to be high quality and is already been applied properly for you (Look Ma! No bubbles!).
I took mine off the second day and that was a mistake. There was barely any difference in screen quality after taking off the SP (the screen was just as awesome with it on or off). Swyping and gesturing was just as responsive as well (maybe even a little better). The only difference now is my screen is a fingerprint magnet.
Does anyone know the manufacturer of the screen protectors that come with the Vibrant?
I checked Samsung's site for SP accessories but I'm not sure if they are the same ones that come with the phone.
*Also it seems that a lot of people have said that the screen protectors that T-mobile sells are not that good and you should not waste your money. The verdict is still out on the clearfreak ones, but I'm not sure if it will be as good as the one right out of the box.
I cut the tab at the top off and it lays flat now. This will work fine until my IvisibleShield arrives.
Please update us on the quality of the IvisibleShield compared to the original screen protector when it arrives. Pics would be great if possible. Thanks
I can say after 24 hrs. the clearfreak is awsome, much better than the zagg was as far as visibility and texture. I don't know when it comes to protection and hope I never have to find out. But overall would recommend especially at that price.
That is really good to hear badaphooko1.
Do you Any tips and comments about the application process?
And would you say it is of the same or better quality than the screen protector that came with the Vibrant?
do a google for martin fields screen protector installation video - all the mfgrs have install videos but the MF one had one tip that was awesome using two pcs of scotch tape as "handles" so you could position the screen protector on your phone without leaving fingerprints on the sticky side
you'll know what i mean when you see the vid
The 'factory' protector isn't amazing or anything. Mine isn't even fully applied (coming up on left, bottom & top). It's been in the TMo silicone case since it left the box. It's suffice until my ClearFreeks arrives next week. The sensitivity is good, but it's not a replacement for a good screen protector.

I usually get my phone ghost armored, just get the screen ghost armored and then put a case on it and your set. ghost armor seems to be the best product out to keep the phone in tip top shape
I had to pull mine off because I was fiddling with it. It wouldn't stick all the way down at the top, and I pulled it off a little ways to get it to stick up top, and then I couldn't get it re-aligned and the sticky side started attracting hair and dirt =\
raduque, that is basically what happened to me. After reading a good review of it by badaphooko1, I went ahead and placed the order for the clearfreak screen on ebay http://item.ebay.com/300445111269
looking at that sellers history, seems like the people are pleased with thier purchase.

I ordered the invisible shield from Zagg and then saw this thread about the Clearfreak. For $5 I went ahead and ordered that one too and will decide which one to use when they get here. It never hurts to have a spare.
any other place to get clearfreak
I went to ebay from the link a couple of posts ago, and during the checkout it said he was on vacation and not excepting orders at this time, never seen that on ebay before. Any other great links for that price ?

I use ghost armor and they apply it for you with a lifetime guarantee. For $40they did mine in about 25 mins and had to make a custom one for the 2nd back case... great work and excellent product.
Kept my stock screen protector on and cut off the tab to get it nice and flat. It looks pretty good for a "free" item (see small bubbles in the top right and bottom left). I'm debating putting a one on while this one still works. Thanks to OP for the tip.
One tip if you get any dust or lint on the sticky surface. Cut a strip of scotch tap and use it to lightly dab the sticky side or screen. The dirt will stick to the tape and it is a good way o clean the protector.
Think it's too late for me to do this. The tab got could inside my pocket and came off when I took it out, causing a bunch of lint to stick to the back. I cleaned it off as best I could with tape but there are still small particles that create bubbles when I try putting it back on. Guess I'll order the Clearfeak when the guy comes back from vacation and just go with that.
I've "cut the tab" for four phones now. It gives me time to read reviews.
I changed out from the "OEM" screen protector to Realook, and boy howdy, what a difference! If you guys aren't seeing a difference between the one that came on the phone and what you're using now, you need to check out these. I had no idea how nice the screen really is until I did this. (It was really, really easy to apply.)

Tempered Armor just launched their Galaxy S3 tempered glass screen protector December 2nd. Saw a review video for their Note 3 protector and absolutely loved it (Link if curious: http://youtu.be/Qzhst5jrBtI). I picked it up the same day it released.
It came in two days ago and of course I install it immediately. At first, I thought great, the adhesive is doing it's thing. Then, once I took the blue plastic cover off, the disappointment set it. At a nearly uniform distance completely around the protector, the adhesive doesn't stick. I had used their packaged microfiber and their packaged isopropyl wipes for the install. Thought cool, maybe it will take a few days. And fast forward to today, it still looks the same.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I love how it feels; I've always hated those crappy plastic protectors.
I reached out to Tempered Armor via Twitter and got no help other than them claiming it was user error and/ or the alignment is off. I sent them a Dropbox link with pictures of the alignment and they came back with the protector won't work if it is "off a hair".
Here's our Twitter conversation: https://twitter.com/temperedarmor/status/413801200866574336
Here's the Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i6wur2j57ql99c7/qyw6TAEb_y
So if you are thinking about ordering one, make sure you have a micron microscope to get it aligned correctly.
Meh,
I have had similar problems with SProtectors. I do believe that the glass on most S3's have a slight curve at the outer edge.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Whenever I press down on the outside edge, it feels like the glass protector doesn't even try to stick. I feel like the adhesive wasn't properly applied to the protector before shipping.
What really got me was when customer support mentioned if it was "off a hair" it wouldn't sit right. How are you going to sell a screen protector that has a fault tolerance in alignment of a width of a hair?
Typical lack of customer service or care. This why I try to support companies like, Anker, zero lemon, Amazon. They actually care about quality and their customers. As info,
We have 3 galaxy S3 in my home and all have a slight curve downward at the edges.

I love tempered glass screen protectors. But why spend that much money on that one. I got mine off Ebay and they look way better than the one posted in the OP. The one I have sticks all the way around.
here's an example of one... (not sure which seller I bought from. it's been a several weeks since I ordered.)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Rea...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item2c779dd20f
I knew of the owner of the company from my days as an iPhone modder. Thought he would be a bit more "in touch" with the community and more helpful than "nope, you broke it. lalalalala can't hear you".

The one I have is .3, so just a bit thinner. on all of the cases I have used, it doesn't interfere with the case. I have used it with the Otterbox Commuter case and it looks fine. Right now, I'm using it with a rubber/plastic case that I found at Walgreen's of all places. There is usually a small gap between the edge of the screen protector and the case. I'll see if I can get a picture up
EDIT
Here's mine with a case and the glass screen on it (sorry pic quality is bad, taken with an Ipad, of course)

Whenever i put a screen protector on my s3 the touch screen glitches, key presses al over the screen like whenever i press the app drawer it opens my notification bar, whenever i type something it scrolls up,so does that have anything to do with the quality of the screen protector?
I should mention, I really dislike cases and most screen protectors in general. When I received my Nexus 5, I wanted to add some protection, however I did not want to put a case as I love the way the phone feels. I ordered one of the cheaper PET film protectors for my friend's N5 and after installing it on his I gave one a try on mine- I could live with it as you could barely see it, but I was not happy with the way it slightly changed the feel of the screen and it was a big fingerprint magnet, so my screen always looked dirty. Someone recommended the TruGlass Screen Protector and while it seemed great, I hesitated on spending $30 on a screen protector as you only get one shot at the perfect install. After much back and forth I finally ordered it. After ordering I got an email that stated there was a delay and it would be about a week and a half before it could ship - the email came with a $10 credit to use on another Cruzerlite product, which was a nice touch.
I received the screen protector a week later, it came with a little kit to assist with install and I used the method of taping the protector to the side of the phone before peeling the film back. The install went perfect and the protector looked and felt great. Only issue was that there was a slight chip on the top left corner. Other than the chip it was everything I wanted - completely clear, it kept finger prints away and it did not change the responsiveness or feeling of the naked screen. I immediately emailed Cruzerlite about the issue and quickly got a response letting me know they would happily send out a replacement free of charge if I could just send a picture of the issue. I received the second screen protect just a few days later (which was impressive given it was sent around the holidays) and it is absolutely perfect. It doesn't go completely to the edge of the device, so it can be used with a case - but it goes far enough to the edge that you do not have to use a case.
Let me know if anyone has any specific questions about the product.
tl;dl Coming from someone that likes "naked" devices, I would highly recommend spending the premium on TruGlass protector. It looks and feel great. Added bonus is Cruzerlite's amazing customer service.
Great to read this. my is on the way to Israel. will take some time i guess...
can u plz post some pics for your device with the screen protector?

Here is a pic of the first one that had the chip, it's dirty but you can see how far to the edges the protector goes. Once cleaned, it looks flawless but it's really the touch that stands out as the best feature - it feels exactly like the naked screen.

Such a great product. I just noticed they are available for the GS4 as well, I am going to have to pick one up for my wife's phone.
Ok so I got my hands on Cruzerlite TruGlass Screen Protector. First off I had sworn off glass screen protectors because of a past experience. But I thought what hell let's see what their protectors are all about. The price is very good compared to a lot of the competition first off. The screen protector is Lab tested nano-glass, Oleophobic coated, has a Anti-shatter film, has a 9H hardness rating and 0.25 MM thick. I applied the protector using the hinge method and it was a perfect apply. It seemed to just suction to the screen and all bubbles just ran out. Every corner stuck perfect which was my main issue with my previous glass screen protector that scared me away from these (was another brand). I honestly think the glass feels so much better than the screen of the nexus 5 itself. My finger just glides across the screen now and the glass is Crystal clear. It works well with every case I've tried which is a huge plus for those of us that use cases. Another thing I noticed is how easy it is to clean the screen. I've now had it on for over two weeks and everything looks like the day I applied it. I highly recommend these screen protectors and if I ever need to get another screen protector for my n5 it I'll be getting another one of these.

Hello all,
I'm looking for the best tempered glass screen protector for Pixel 2. I have looked through the List of Google Pixel 2 Screen Protectors and I have searched Amazon too, but the reviews are either fake-5-star-reviews, or generally poor reviews.
Can anyone recommend the best option for a Pixel 2 tempered glass screen protector?
Thank you
I have this one and it's the best IMHO and is case friendly. I can attach some pics for you tomorrow.

Spigen, take your time as it fits perfectly side to side on the visual part of the screen only.

If you are looking for the best, whitestone dome is probably the way to go. It is expensive though. If you aren't worried about full adhesive and curved so it passes the edge of the display there are a lot more options. Spiegen is good for a lower cost option, but it only goes to the edge of the display and doesn't curve.
Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll definitely use one of these screen protectors

Quick question: do you (or does anyone on the forum) have one of these and can tell me if I can use it in combination with Google's fabric case?
(Also, I am currently in Germany. I can order one, but the translated text on the Amazon listing sounds like a scam. It also claims to "take away blue light". I want my display as intended, not blue-filtered.
FTR, I've been trying to get the "official" SP (Power Support) from the Google store, buy it isn't available in Germany.

I'm currently using one. I think it would fit the Google case, but I haven't tried. I've used it with an OtterBox symmetry, a speigen tpu, and with the moment case with no issues. It covers the full display but still leaves gaps on the edges.
I haven't noticed any significant blue light filtering but I did see that the description stated that. I can try to compare it against another Pixel 2 with a different screen protector and see.
Thanks, that would be nice of you if you could have a look at a second Pixel 2.
FTR, I turned off colour boosting, and really appreciate the near-natural colour provided by Google's OLED settings. I couldn't understand why people complained about the "faded" colours in the beginning. I bought this thing as a camera with a phone, and I want to see my photos as close to what I see while shooting them. Filtering blue light is a bit of a deal-breaker for the glass dome, if perceivable.
I've had 2 Whitestone Dome Glass protectors. The first had to be replaced when my phone slipped through the gap in my pull out couch and when trying to get out it slipped under one of the couch legs, crushing the screen (no screen protector will help in that case). The second came in today, after some back and forth with Whitedome trying to figure out why it was showing out of stock on Amazon, and I had to trash it less than an hour after opening it.
The first one was a hassle to install but once installed I really, really liked it. The second had a broken bottom piece for installation, causing an imbalance in the phone and I went through 3 (one left over from first install) adhesion tubes before I realized that was why a good bit was slipping over the edge of the phone and not across the display. When I realized what was going on I was kind of angry it even happened, wasn't paying much attention, and the protector cracked when I was removing it to try and clean up everything...
I either got lucky with the first or REALLY unlucky with the second, but either way I'm not buying another one. The installation process isn't exceedingly difficult, but it's just way too cumbersome for what it should be, costs too much, and just isn't worth the headache. Really disappointed in it. Luckily Amazon did me a solid and is letting me refund it.
That first was by far the best I found for TGSP's for the Pixel 2. I'm really hoping the Pixel 3 goes back to fully flat glass, not this "it's curved just enough at the edges to make it extra difficult for third parties to make screen protectors" crap.
Follow-up: I tried it and it works with the fabric case, there is stilla gap. @jppowers is right about the installation process, it is a buggerance. I had an air bubble, glue spilled under the protective sticker on the speaker and it was generally cumbersome.
There is some blue light filtering, which makes sense given that the glue is near-UV-polymerised, but my brain compensates this and I don't see it if not in direct comparison with a screen without the protector.

Hello,
Does this screen protector actually curves around the 2.5d edge of Pixel 2 or is it just that the edges are sloping to give a smoother feel when finger meets the edge of scren protector, but the actual contact surface side of scren proterctor is flat? Would be awesome if you could share close up pictures of this protector on your phone. I am wondering if this screen protector actually creates no ugly halo effect around the preimeter when applied?

Thank you this one looks interesting, tempted to buy one myself, but maybe you have idea why there is significant amount of dust stuck? Is protector not full adhesive? Could it be that due to contouring it is unable to stick to whole screen surface properly? Misapplied or high-dust environment?

Hey, I don't really know what could be the problem. At the beginning everything was OK, but later problem with dust appeared. I am in normal surroundings, with no extra dust. Office-house.
I bought, as reserve, from same guy foil protection also. Maybe it will be better.
When a screen protector only has glue on the edges the dust enters at the speaker openings. I'm still using my original Spigen Glass protector with zero dust since it adheres to the whole screen but doesn't cover the curved sides, the pack comes with 2 protectors and I will swap it out soon as the fingerprint resistance isn't the best anymore(but it's been almost a year).
Whitestone's Dome is definitely the best by far, but just as everyone else has mentioned, the installation process is a massive hemorrhoid. For what they charge they oughta include a professional in-home installation service.
I highly suggest to anyone who gets the Dome, set aside 2 hours, watch the videos online, prep your area, and be extremely patient. Also, make sure you've eaten and haven't had anything that will make you jittery or anxious like coffee, it will make the whole process much easier to handle and you'll be much less likely to fly into a rage if you run into issues.
Also, as mentioned by others, be sure to fully inspect your glass before you attempt to install it. There is a very thin film on the back of the glass to keep it from splintering in the event of a shatter, and sometimes they end up with bubbles between the glass and film during manufacturing. I went through both tubes of adhesive and a lot of frustration before I realized the bubble was not a personal application error but a flaw in the glass. Getting a replacement was no issue, but I still lost two hours and grumbled quite a few choice words.
Caveats aside, it's a superb full coverage TGSP.
