Hi Everyone,
Long time off the forum as I haven't had a phone that has warranted any use of this wonderful site.
Picked up a Moto G yesterday and I was wondering what people experiences with and without screen protectors for this device have been. Last "proper" phone was a Galaxy S2 and in the two year it survived it picked up a couple of small scratches, only one of which was visible enough to annoy me and it was dropped a lot, screen down.
My question to you all is that do I really need a screen protector is is this modern Gorilla Glass good enough to warrant not bothering.
Thanks!
(Sorry admin if this should be in Q&A but it feels more pertinent to this forum)

I havent used a screen protector for a while now, feels better and i haven't had a single scratch.
with the gg3, i can't see a reason to use a screen protector. until now, I don`t have any scratches too
I am using matte protectors. I feel more comfortable having one of them on my moto g
i've used a matte protector but the screen looked bad and i took it off.No need for screen protector,only sand can scratch it.
My Moto G fell down one time and now i have like a 3 mm scratch in the display, since then i used this kind of protector http://www.ebay.de/itm/Motorola-MOT...y_PDA_Displayschutzfolien&hash=item3f30f9ff7c and it works best for me
Well, I managed to scratch up my screen within three months of purchase. So I use a tempered glass screen protector and it works pretty well for me except for a crack, the result of it falling screen first twice in five seconds. ?

While the Moto G has great protection from scratches thanks to Gorilla Glass 3, you'll eventually get scratches if you are in an environment where there is sand. Sand will definitely scratch your display, so if you get some sand in your pocket and whatnot there is a high possibility of scratches. I purchased anti-glare screen proctors as I use my phone a lot outdoors and it works great.
Gorrila Glass is still glass and has the risk of damage, either scratches or worse. So its a matter of reducing risk, not a matter of 'do I need it or not'. Perhaps the risk depends on your use and habits, but its always there.
Me personally, it always seems logical to use one. If it can save me from a expensive repair, a ugly scratch or a decreased value in case I want to sell it... why not? I never experienced loss of touch screen functionality.. Especially the tempered glass ones are nice.
Look up nanocoating spray on ebay. This is whats inside the phone but they have a liquid developed for screens that supposedly makes the screen 5 times harder and scratch resistant and water repellant. Molecoat on ebay looks good and they have a video on youtube (thats what sold me) chinese auction but you can get it for $10, thinking about trying it. I always had a screen protector on my phones but hate how it takes away from the sharpness and color from the screen with the "hd clear' ones.
I only use tempered glass protectors. I've abandoned film altogether. There's just no substitute for glass.

My review of Orzly tempered glass
same presentation of tutorial, same wet cloth and so ... ?
You're struggles are over! I have been looking for the best screen protector for edge devices and I had to tell everyone. No more touch sensitivity issues, no pressing harder, no more bouncing screen, and no more popping off screen protectors. The Whitestone Dome Glass Screen protector is the best! I made an install tutorial because the worst part is installing it. It's complicated, but watch my video for tips and tricks and you will be an expert in no time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaNK59tMsBQ
Warning: As seen in the video at the 10:26 mark it is very important as a beginner that you make sure the surface is level (Use a physical bubble level and have business cards nearby) and leave the alignment bars (Plastic L Shapes) on during the curing process with the UV light, otherwise the screen protector may slide off of the phone. I was doing this for a friend at his house with the table he had, therefor as you saw at the 10:26 mark it began to slide away. Me doing so many installations I was use to this sort of thing happening, and quickly corrected the issue. I find the alignment bars to get in my way when moving the screen to the most case friendly position. However when I started out I did use these alignment bars, think of them as training wheels. Just be sure when you manually align the screen protector that the alignment bars are not lifting out of their 3 bumps and that they are not lifting your screen. Make sure your surface is level otherwise the adhesive could pour over the edges of the phone. Business cards help immensely, along with not working on installation in the middle of a 2 piece table.
Review
Before I continue please keep the "It's too expensive" posts out of here. Other glass screen protectors, Otterbox, Zagg, ect are the same price. You are paying $45 to protect a $800+ phone. Insurance is a $200 deductible. So it's not expensive compared to paying a deductible. You also get an added bonus... The UV light can be used by women or given to women as a gift to dry their nails. Oh you're a guy and have no use for it? Ever had a car windshield chip?
You can get a repair kit and use the UV light to dry the resin, ever paint? UV light to dry the paint, UV light to dry glue, UV light to tan your wedding ring finger... Just kidding don't do that last one. Anyway now that I got that out of the way I came from a S7 Edge and my struggles to find the perfect screen protector were very difficult. I am extremely OCD with my phones and worried so much about cracking the screen. I used the Otterbox Defender after trying screen protector, after screen protector, and after getting frustrated with the touch screen sensitivity issues with the Otterbox Defender due to the built in plastic screen protector and dealing with dirt and easy scratches, I went back to my Note 4. Then the S8 came out and I again attempted to go to an edge phone, and after purchasing the Whitestone screen protector I will say it's made the phone feel just like I never had a screen protector at all. I no longer have a screen protector that for some silly reason only had glue around the edges which made the protector springy/bouncy on every touch. Not to mention that most times the protector would pop off due to lack of glue. This isn't a problem with the Whitestone due to the fully adhesive protector. There's no touch screen sensitivity issues and it feels like I am touching a naked screen. Plus my edge features actually work.
Q&A
Q: What cases work with it?
A: Otterbox Symmetry and Commuter, defenders do not work. I haven't had any other case tests, I am about to purchase the Mophie battery case and test it out. If you have any cases that work well, please let me know so I can get a compatibility list going
Confirmed List
Commuter
Symmetry
UAG
https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
Q: Can I put a case on after installation?
A: No you need to wait 24 hours for curing.
Q: Can I use the phone after installation?
A: You will need to wait 1 hour.
Q: How long should I set aside time for install?
A: If you have never done it be prepared for around 1 hour plus the 1 hour wait after before you can use your phone
Q: Do you know if there is a warranty on the product?
A: I'm not sure, I couldn't find anywhere on there for warranty info. I know I received a cracked one and ended up having to purchase another one, file a claim on Amazon, and send the cracked one back.
Here's a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:
I'm also using the whitestone dome.
I highly recommend it.
It won't take an hour to install it, but DO take your time.
Also, when it's installed and cured, when you use the LAST alcohol wipe, scrub the side of the phone too! I had a little leakage and it's oily and nasty.

Yea I covered that in the video as well. It smells really strong so I would def use the wipe on the entire phone.
I'm also using the Whitestone. It's seriously the best solution. It's like $45, but that's the only screen protector you will need to buy. I've wasted more than $45 trying out different, crappier screen protectors. Should have just gone with Whitestone to start with.
Hello TheGame7, this is Whitestone.
Thank you so much for taking interest in our product and making such detailed instructional video for installing the Dome glass! Your video was exceptional, the tips and tricks you covered were very clear and precise. We were pleasantly surprised. As you mentioned in the video, we have made modifications to our installing procedure and the tools as well since the initial launch. The only thing we would like to point out is that you should NOT remove the align bars (the plastic things) before curing the adhesive. Experienced people such as yourself will have no problem manually aligning the glass, but some people may panic or completely butcher the installation if they see the glass slipping away. Also, if the glass moves towards the speaker, the adhesive may flow into the speaker or buttons (if applicable). It will not damage or break the device, but it could result in discomfort while using the device.
If you have any questions or feedback that you would like to give us please do so!
Thank you

For sure. I learned this lesson the hard way with my Galaxy S7. I am just thankful that Whitestone actually noticed how upset everyone was with the curved edge screen protector market.

Wow I can say I am pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that I would catch the attention of Whitestone themselves. Absolutely brilliant idea with the screen protector I must say! I really appreciate the positive feedback and will make note of your feedback in the topic and video! I do typically remove the alignment bars pre-cure as they get in my way for aligning below the camera. They tend to lift up and sometimes lift the screen protector up while I adjust towards the edge of the camera. My video is the perfect example of making sure you have a level surface and I will make a note in the video and in this topic that newer purchasers of Whitestone will want to have a physical bubble level nearby to complete the task or potentially have level issues as shown in the video or to be sure and keep the alignment bars installed and make sure to keep an eye on the edges for any possible lifting.
took me only 10 minutes to install and have been using for 2 weeks now. no problems at all. This is the best tempered glass protector out there
Thanks for the tips and video !

Does the glue leave any residue if for whatever reason you need to remove the screen protector?

Hello all,
I order this screen protect after watching the video (thank you for the great video). I would have to say this is one of the best screen protectors that I have personal used.
After installing the screen protector and admiring the sexynes i decided to purchase a clear case from Spigen Ultra Hybrid - Crystal . After one day of use I notice that the screen had lifted on the bottom left ??? and now I have a line of air bubbles.
Does anyone have any suggestion on a clear case to use with this screen protector. I thought the video suggested this one to work but probably I did something wrong.
Any suggestions on what clear case to use (please no thin clear case)
Or how can I fix the air bubbles....
???

How do I go about buying only the glass?
I've had a whitestone on my phone for about 2 months now. Probably the best glass protector for curved screens. I hope they expand to more brands and models that have curved displays since it's the only one that works properly.

Hello monkey39, this is Whitestone.
There should be no glue left behind when removing the screen protector.
But if there are some residue, it can easily be removed with alcohol swab.
If you have any more questions or feedback, just reply here.
Thank you.

Hey, thanks for the reply! And, since you offered , another question: where can I buy one for the Galaxy S8 plus? I was looking on Amazon today, but could only find the one for the S8 - does this one fit both the S8 and S8 plus? https://goo.gl/K47KFc
Hi
I have an issue when using a cover on my S8+
I tried 2 covers with my Panzer glass and they both pushed it off. Then i thought the glass was too big and the problem didnt lie in the covers.
Right now i have this cover http://www.skechit.co.uk/en/shop/galaxy-s8-plus/item/crystal-48
I live en Denmark and i just saw a post on a verizon glass and i cant get that here in DK
Can anyone help me out?
Why not try the Whitestone Dome like everyone else?
Ended up buying some kind of film instead. Cant find a place to buy the whitestone unless i want to pay 13£ shipping.

Or you can do what I did. Buy a cheap tempered glass screen protector and a bottle of LOCA glue and a UV light and do it yourself. Takes a couple tries to get it just right, but totally worth it in the end.

Seems like a top class solution, I would like to try, but so many questions, hope you don't mind.
What was the procedure you used, how did you get the glue to spread evenly? Did you cover the whole screen or just strategic parts? Did it affect screen sensitivity? How long is the curing process? How long has the protector been on your phone since application? Does it stop sides lifting when case fitted? What problems did you encounter?
Don't mean to impose on your time, but is it possible to do a step by step guide or vid, I'm sure many people here on xda would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance. Even if you're not able to do any of this, your input on this vexing issue is more than appreciated.
There's already a video someone else made. Go to YouTube and search for S8 screen protector LOCA. The only difference is I used an actual UV light instead of setting it out in the sun.
The first TGSP was on my phone for a couple weeks, then I dropped my keys on it and scratched it. This new one has been on for about a week now.
As far as problems? The install is messy, but other than that no issues at all.
dendrobates screen protector
take a look at the Dendrobates screen protector,made of hybrid material.may give you another option for fully adhesive for curved screen.
https://youtu.be/ksCnb3xlKU4
So, what's the best tempered glass screen protector that fits cases and has adhesive on the WHOLE SCREEN PROTECTOR? Thanks!
Right now, my stupid screen protector has adhesive only on the edges and it makes a click sound whenever I type -__- very annoying, so I want a tempered glass screen protector that has adhesive everywhere and fits cases. Thanks
Have you possibly tried reading any of the threads including what I see is the massively long thread about screen protectors in this sub-forum? Asking the question that's been answered without doing the research yourself isn't really useful and just adds more of the same messages.
Pitaka everything. Ive tried multiple "top rated" cases and protectors from amazon and pitaka has been the only one thats actually quality and actually makes sense of what its purpose is.

good luck on finding tempered glass that doesn't have one of many issues.
I tried a number and all failed, so I went with the old flexible film protection. easy to put on, protects the screen from scratches etc, and entire thing sticks very well. it comes already shaped as the screen as they are the official Samsung screen protection and you can get them here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDJ6CT2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was REALLY REALLY regretting buying this phone until I found this. You get 2 of them for that price by the way.
Anyways, hope that helps.

Yes, the answer is there really is none (except for Whitestone, which is $50). Thanks for wasting both of our time with your childish and useless response in the first place. Pot, meet kettle! Although that'll probably go over your simpleton head

I rlyyyy prefer the tempered glass one. I do have insurance (cracked screen= $150 to fix), but I'd rather not have to use that. Tempered glass screen protectors have saved my ass countless times in the past with previous phones, and from what I've read, this one is even more fragile than past phones. So IMO, film is not the way to go unfortunately.

I don't know how to post inteegrated YouTube videos like above, sorry.
It's still only edge adhesive however he says it's fairly strong and hadn't come off in a week of use and he's going to report back again after a month. Also he says it doesn't effect screen sensitivity what so ever.
The edge adhesive worries me still, also they misspelled "friendly" on the box. I wish it was on Amazon to see reviews since their site has no review section. Product link is in his drop down info or whatever you call it on YouTube.

not sure why you think tempered glass is going to protect your screen against breaks anymore than film considering it is the case you use that would determine that. the rear glass is fragile, but the front glass is actually not
do your research from users who actually tried many of the glass protectors. like I said, if it wasnt for the film protection I have now, I would be looking at other phones and take the loss.
Exactly. Screen protectors help with scratches, but NOT breaks.
That is complete fake science, and anyone that says they help with shatters is just wrong.
If you've had your tempered glass screen protector break, but not your screen, it is simply because the screen protector is much thinner. Your screen would not have broken without the screen protector on that same drop either...

So far I've had 3 screen protectors on my device when I dropped it. The protector shattered, stuck on the device, but the device's screen didn't shatter. So... I'm here to trump your "fake science" with real facts. Screen protectors, at least glass ones for me, worked great to preserve the integrity of the actual glass on the device from spidering and breaking.
Actual conversation I had with some guy who was bragging about how he was so proud that he had his third crapple screen replaced:
Him: I found this really cool place that replaced my screen for $60
Me: I'm just careful
My "three" incidents were with three different devices in over 15 years. I marvel at these people I see on the subway with completely shattered screens. What are people doing that they cannot hold on their devices? Do people do NOT get that these are upwards of $500 devices? It's like not caring that you're driving your car into a brick wall and driving around with a completely smashed front-end of your car.

Now I am using Gobukee full adhesive glass already for several months. So far so good.
I need a good tempered glass screen protector
Ounier Full Coverage Bubble-Free Screen Protector as it was one of the first brands to come up when searching for screen protectors for Samsung Galaxy S9. My phone is fairly new and I needed to have it fully protected first before I include it in my busy daily routine. I’m the kind of person who chooses convenience over price, but as this product was recommended by a friend (for his S8), I gave it a chance. Besides, It’s really great that the pack has 2 screen protectors; the easier to change, the better. I’ve also had bad experiences with other screen protectors for my old phones as they sometimes hinder with some of the phone’s features, like the double tap, the sensors, etc. Since my friend can’t recall any troubles at all with this protector, this eased my mind a bit with what it had to offer.
I’ve always admired how my friend’s phone looked so seamless and smooth, it always fooled me thinking that his screen protector came with the phone when he purchased it. To my surprise, he installed it himself. Now I’m not a bad friend, but this guy can get excruciatingly stupid at times. I thought if someone as dense as him had managed to somehow not mess up with wet installation, how hard can it be?
I got the screen protectors, a squeegee, a tiny piece of cloth, a manual, and a small bottle spray solution. I’m the old-fashioned type, I never even knew that “wet installation” is actually a thing if not for my buddy. All these items looked so weird to me. I’ll never understand how people come up with this stuff but if it works, then it's fine with me.
Whitestone dome is the best one I've used. It saved my screen countless times before it finally broke. Worked well with all my cases.
Was looking to see if anything newer has been released bit I guess not.
Im looking for a good glass screen protector. Ive bought 2 so far both having that awefull hole in the middle of the screen and the fingerscan not working
You need to get a screen protector that has glue that needs to be cured under UV light.
A whitestone dome glass screen protector comes to mind but there are others out there that are cheaper (just not as well known)...
Just make sure that you press down over the finger print area while curing so it has minimal glue to interfere with the fingerprint sensor.
Just be aware, depending on the case you use this may also cause the edges to lift. Can be expensive to have an incompatible case on...
Yea ive seen that, but im not into the whole glue thing. My brother has the same inscreen fingerprint on his oneplus 7T with a glass screenprotector without anything visueble. But he ordered one from oneplus store so idk what brand of screenprotectors would look the same

The whitestone dome glass screen protectors glue is not your typical type glue, if you need to remove the protector you can peel them off just like any other and it doesn'tc leave any glue on the screen and the screen looks just like the day you applied the protector.. The Whitestones are expensive so i'd watch some videos before I tried to apply. If done correctly its hard to tell you even have a protector on the phone.

Yea but i read alot of comments saying it crackle after a couple weeks. I dont mind spending 50 € butit has to be a good one
I am using the amFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector that I got on Amazon. Its similar the whitestone as it has glue. But it is a lot cheaper $34 for a 2 pack. Took about a half hour to install after watching the video and it really functions well. No issues at all with the fingerprint sensor.
