I'm looking for something cheaper than the white dome that'll work with the fingerprint sensor. On Amazon I stumbled upon this: https://www.amazon.com/Friendly-Qun...red+glass+uv&qid=1556643737&s=gateway&sr=8-54
It seems to be a new product since there are no reviews. Anyone have experience with it?
UPDATE: I decided to purchase it because it had free prime one day shipping and I needed protection. A buddy of mine always buys whitedome and couldn't tell the difference. it was obviously a little more complicated than your regular tempered glass install but it took about 10 minutes of my time to get it almost perfect. Even after I had accidentally spilled some of that glue to the side. Fingerprint sensor still works, no issues there. Fit perfectly with my Spigen clear case. Saved $20 from whitestone, I'm happy.

This is only $15 cheaper than WhiteStone Dome, is saving $15 really worth the possible effects/problems of putting something with zero reviews on your $1,000 device?

It is a tempered glass screen protector... I cannot justify spending $50 on a piece of glass... The price is still somewhat high but it looks like it provides an almost identical experience for less. I didn't ask because I was worried about side effects. I was just curious if the fingerprint sensor would function properly, I probably should have clarified that.

WhiteStone also comes with a extra tube of glue in case you mess up the first installation and a lifetime warranty on their products. Seems worth the $15 over this generic brand IMO.
Why not trying InvisShield? for what I've read it is not as good as whitestone (smoothness) but its a fraction of the cost. I've ordered it and will get it next thursday, could get 2 screen protectors and 3 tubes of glue for less than the whitestone.

Not Bull, but there is a $10 shipping fee for a replacement glass. Similar to other company warranties like OtterBox they charge you $7 shipping for warranty replacement.

And imo whitestone isn't worth the price. I've tried to use them on my past s9 and s9 phones as well as my note series phones. All of them eventually started prying up at the corners and sides from cases. Imo if you cant use a case with it, it isn't worth it. And to be clear I was using spiegen cases.
For this reason I stopped using screen protectors on all curved glass phones.

Sorry to tell you but your issues with WhiteStone are user error and self inflicted. I have also used WhiteStone on the Note8, S9+ and Note9 and never had your prying up issues. But then again I also research and make sure the case I choose fits with the WhiteStone dome glass so they are a perfect match, so if the case you choose rubs the glass and eventually raises the glass that would be your fault and not the WhiteStone. There are "WhiteStone Case Capability" threads here on XDA and other forums online, check them out prior to making your purchase.

I'm not going to get in a pissing contest with you on this, if it works for you then great. I for one buy a case that fits my needs and one that I like, I don't settle for something to conform because its compatible to a product.
It's not user error the loca is spread eventually throughout the entire screen protector and it is cured. This happens after 3 or 4 months after the screen protector is applied not right away. This is my experience with the product. Your mileage may vary and like I said great.

Whitestone dome isn't anything special from the generics. The $50 glass screen protector days are coming to an end for them.
Of course they're still suckers who think cuz you pay more you get more which isn't true

This. When checking on Amazon, a bunch of alternatives don't come with a tray which is probably why they're looked down upon, this does so I see no benefit of having the white dome.
I just bought this and should arrive tomorrow. I'll update with the findings later. Im not about to pay $50 for a screen protector from whitestone, that's ridiculous. Especially since the reviews are so mixed where it's concerned. And im not worried about a warranty, if it goes bad I'd honestly rather just take the loss instead of dealing with customer service ssns STILL not getting a replacement.
I bought a $12 Loca UV TGSP direct from Korea & it works well with the FPS. It just requires more pressure to unlock, kind of like before the FPS update.
I'm glad I waited & didn't shell out $50 for the Whitedome.

I came across this tempered glass screen protector from Orzly on Amazon UK. It costs less than £6 delivered.
Edit - price has now gone up
http://amzn.to/19VMPso
Orzly accessories get pretty good reviews and their tempered glass screen protector for the Nexus 5 was generally recommended on XDA before the price went up. Definitely worth a try at this price.
Looks like Nillkin now do one for £9.99 delivered. I have a Nillkin tempered glass protector on my Nexus 5 and it's great

It's a shame they don't ship to other countries than UK, I think. (at least, they don't ship to Portugal)

Did you check ebay?
Doesn't that tempered glass screen protector defeat the purpose of the glass screen and a screen protector? I would think by doubling the screen's thickness (essentially), you'd be making it harder thus easier to break on a drop. As for scratching, I'm not sure why people are so worried, it's Gorilla Glass 3. Having owned several GG products, it is very very herd to scratch the screen unless you plan on carrying sharp stones with your phone in your pocket while you are doing jumping jacks.

The tempered glass has a silicone adhesive on the backside of it that also acts as a buffer. And direct impacts that would normally break the screen are completely absorbed by the glass protector and it breaks instead. PET or other plastic screen protectors only prevent scratches. I would rather replace a 10-15$ screen protector than a 100$ screen.
Anyone knows a seller who ships to Europe?
Edit; How about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-3mm-Premi...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item54037fc8a0
Got mine today, ordered before the amazon price went up... Ive never used a glass screen protector before and didn't realise how bad plastic ones are.
It's a perfect fit, other that one spec of dust about 2mm from the edge you'd never know there was a screen protector on!
No camera or senior holes, just a speaker hole, but everything seems to work just fine.

I've been treating my moto g like a baby and having it as sole item in my pocket and it has micro scratches that you can see in bright sunlight. I've also seen a galaxy note 3 (gorilla glass 3) from a Samsung rep with an awfully scratched screen (admittedly in his pocket with keys)

I've written a review which should be up on Amazon within 48h. Basically I'll never buy another plastic screen protector again, this glass one is great for £9.99.
The clarity is fantastic, the feel is better than the original (imo) and the only disadvantage is the lack of cut outs for the camera.
Its also really easy to use swype or other similar keybaords now because my thumb doesn't stick.
I have found this Flexible Glass that might be intersted but it is a little expensive.
http://swiss-case.com/collections/by-device/moto-g/truglass-flexible-glass-for-moto-g.html
Anyone have any links to the Orzly one that has stock/is not being sold at an extortionate rate? Not willing to may £13 when I know it was available for £6 in the past.
Got the glass one in from hong Kong. Came extremely well packed and got it installed in about a minute.
It fits the phone perfectly and feels much better than then plastic protector that I had on the phone before hand. I am still trying to decide if it has made the touch screen less responsive, but I believe that it is more than worth it.
Any additional questions just let me know.

So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^
Out of stock still.
Out of stock and also not by Xtremeguard. $39.99 before "discount"? That's a joke.
If you're in the US you can buy it for $6.99 all the time off of ebay. Yes, slightly more expensive than their 90% off group of 2, but just shows you the ridiculous price Xtremeguard is normally charging for a product that isn't even theirs.

Did yours come in a generic iphone packaging? I was really confused. I thought they sent me the wrong product. I opened it and it does look like it's supposed to but it was just really weird.
Also, if anyone tried, how easy is it to peel off?
I'm using the xtremeguard one right now. Obviously didn't pay 40 bucks for it. Honestly it's my favorite accessory for my phone. The glass feels a bit beveled and it reminds me if the edged on the nexus 4, how they used to be so smooth. I'm sure all the tempered glass protectors feel like this but this is the one I have.

Hmm, interesting. The packaging was completely different for me. Yours looks like the actual packaging from the ebay page. Mine Also says USA126 on it, but it's some generic packaging with an iphone on the front. However, inside everything looks the same as what you got. The pad, protector, cloth, and that same blue sticker. I put on the protector yesterday and so far I do like it a lot. Also, I'm not sure if the sticker was meant for this, but instead of wiping it down with the alcohol pad, I used the sticker to pick up all of the dust before applying the protector and it worked extremely well.
Still out of stock. Might hit up that ebay screen protector.
Does the eBay protector cover side to side or is it rounded off the corners so cases don't pick it up. How's the adhesive on it? Any webbing? Does it stick fully? These eBay protectors aren't always the best. How about the oleophobic coating?

The edges appear to be rounded, they haven't picked up at all with my case. The adhesive is great, no webbing, and it adhered fully. I cleaned the phone VERY well, took off the backing from the screen protector, and gently placed it on the phone. I was surprised that I didn't have to press hard to make it seal, or do the binder clip thing that other people have talked about. I'm very happy with mine, and for $6 it's the best screen protector I have ever bought.
This makes me wish I hadn't bought my full price spigen glasTr. There's no way it's 4 times as good as this.
So far I'm happy with the 6 dollar one I bought. It came in wrong packaging, but the product itself seems fine. I use the nexus 4 replica case and it fits very well. I think I had a bit of spiderwebbing but I pressed on it with my finger and it went away. I did notice a very tiny speck of dust I must have must underneath but its not always visible even though I know where it is. There's seems to be a very small scratch on the bottom and top corner. I'm not sure if that's something underneath but again, it's hardly visible and it's not on the screen part so I don't mind.

Just happen to search for Xtreme Guard screen protectors and found a 90% off discount code for the OnePlus One screen protectors.

I purchased one for $1.05 earlier this month. IMHO, THEY SUCK! The cutout area for the speaker and camera does NOT stick. Lucky for me, I ordered a set of Illuminshield and they're great! It does a pretty good job on being resistant to finger prints. It still leaves some behind but overall I'm happy with this choice. I'm so glad I only paid $1.05 during July 4th special, other wise I'd ask for my money back from Extreme Guard.
Too bad about the shipping price in Europe. It does cost around $6 to get two screen protectors in Eastern Europe. I'd love one of those but I think I'll have to stick to the chinese screen protectors...at least for now. If someone can ship one or two of those screen protectors for a lower price, I'd love to have a private conversation.
Xtreme Guards has the worst screen protectors of any company. THE WORST....there's a reason they're always 90% off. Google it.
Ive gotten much much much better protectors from ebay for cheap.
Bought 6 pack for 2.99 shipped. Better fitting than xtreme guards (I think they die cut the protectors with a die that hasn't been sharpened in 20 years)

i dont think the scratches will be on the actual guard, peal off the 1 and 2 layers and see.
yeah i've been told this over at the 1+ forums as well. But still doesn't help the shoddy cut. already held it up to my phone and there's a nice huge indent up at the top left corner. Looks like it'll be fine for now, but i'm also just debating on just waiting for any of my other ones to show up.
Just request a refund. I only got these since I'm waiting for my glass ones to arrive from the homeland.
Okay, got mine and it fits alright but it's badly but near the top so there will always be bubbles. They must use the dullest cutters in the world.
Yea i havent had much luck with any of their products outside of the iPhone Spartan Glass. What really sucked was i ordered 2 Spartan glass for my LG G3 and one for a Nexus 5 and both came in cracked. I had to email them. They refunded me which was cool, but kind of sucks. I guess its just best to go to a BestBuy and purchase the $49 zagg glass protectors.

Well I just got my order. I ordered 3 wet and 3 dry. They look like they were cut out with a machete. Only using them until the tempered glass Nillkin gets here. What pieces of ****. I would never let something like this get into a customers hands. I guess you get what you pay for!

Just request a refund, it's pretty much no questions asked. I'm assuming they know that their products suck, well aside from the tempered glass ones, those are okay.

I just received mine too. Looks like they handed a sheet of film to a first grader with dull scissors and told them to cut it out. Pretty bad. Thankfully it cost less than 2 bucks. Sad because I've used them in the past and they've been pretty decent

Hello guys!
So I have ordered some hardened glass which ended really bad with all the bubbles and also collected alot of dust around the glass which just ended up badly. So now I am here and for everyday when I see if, it just gets me mad.
so now I am here - I need a screen protector that could be for the edges aswell but I do like hardened glass more than the thin' glass - but if there is any better please just say all the ideas!
What I need is to atleast be cheap (Not a rape of 75+$)
- Easy to mount on screen
- Should be really happy when I see no bubbles!
- And shipped to Sweden asap! So I dont need to wait months!
What do you guys have for me to recommend?

Any its still beautiful as it is ? Becuase then I will order now! You are the only one who answered me so haha
I have not yet picked up a screen protector, but the Whitestone Dome does appear to be the best currently available. Just be aware, it's not cheap, $45 USD on Amazon and a bit complicated to install if you are not careful. There are plenty of videos for installation, so make sure to watch those first. I will likely be getting one shortly, just got a case today.
Yeah. I refuse to Shell out the money and ended up paying more the multiple screens I've run through...the best so far was the Hero Shield but the bubbles are ridiculously difficult. I'd stick with the Whitestone.

I concur !! I love the feel, look and touch sensitivity of this protector. Price isn't cheap but neither is the quality of the protector. I gladly pay for a product that is worth the money.
I've heard a lot of good things and might consider this for my next screen protector (currently use Intelligent). Was just curious in what they charge for a replacement if it ever gets cracked? Also, I thought I saw somewhere that you actually have to mail the cracked screen protector back, wait for them to inspect it (and go without one for awhile) before they send a replacement.
Anyone know if that's true?

Just a heads up for those wanting glass screen protectors, Zag is selling them now (unlike Google Store at time of writing) and not sure why but got a big discount. 2 of the Glass Elite VisionGuard+for*Google Pixel 5 for $75 after tax and shipping. They gave me a 30% off discount.
Probably get them cheaper later, but last time we got phones on release date (Pixel 2) we didn't get screen protectors until a week after the phones showed up. So this time we got cases and screen protectors right away.

Bro liquid glass is the way to go. I have been through a ton of glass screen protectors on the 2 XL and they all suck, even the expensive ones. I got liquid glass and never looked back. P5 might be different because the screen is flat, but I'm getting liquid glass anyway. You can always do liquid and throw a glass screen on top of it.

I had mine applied at Fixit Mobile, and I believe they use WowFixit. From what I have read, the products all use Silicon Dioxide as the main ingredient. I don't know that much about the product, except that it works well, it's not noticeable, and does resist fingerprints somewhat. It's not perfect for fingerprints, but I haven't got any scratches in about a year. I have heard that you should reapply after a year, so I probably need to reapply. I will do some research and make a post at some point. I plan to do liquid glass on my P5, so I should post something in the next 2-3 weeks. This is something I looked at recently.

Sounds a lot like the "ceramic coating" that is promoted for use on car paint all the time now. I'd be willing to bet it's the same thing.

The cheap "9H ceramic coating" or spray on SiO2 coatings anyway, not the year-long lasting professional ones.
I just installed the Zagg Invisible Shield Glass Elite + on my Pixel 5 and sadly, it's peeling at the upper right corner. A bit disappointed.

If I'm being honest I've been less than satisfied with their product on my Pixel 2XL. I went through 3 or 4 via their warranty process and just gave up and went naked with a bumper case. Much happier, with minimal scratching after owning since release (preordered).
I'll always use a case because I abuse things but I am finding more and more that screen protectors aren't a necessity, even for someone who throws phones in backpacks etc when out on a trail.
Ordered one and it didn't sit down all the way. It wouldn't stay down on the lower right corner, despite no dust or anything. Ended up disappointed and moved on.
So this is definitely a "your mileage may vary" sort of deal. I purchased two of the zagg protectors, along with a pack of Spigen and Otomon tgsps. So I was prepared.
Anyhow, I did the shower trick installation to keep dust from floating around. First Zagg I used would not apply around the camera lens no matter what. Tried the second Zagg that I ordered and although there were bubbles initially, they went away after 20 mins or so. Perfect installation.
Long story short, you shouldn't have to buy two of a certain tgsp like I did in the event that one is defective, but doing so worked out in my case. Your first application may work correctly or it may not.
Edit:. Also the fitment is perfect. There is no rainbowing on the sides due to being cut short. Could the tgsp have been a little wider? Maybe, but would risk it lifting on one of the sides.
