to share my very pleasant surprise.
TOCOL plastic screen protector for Note 10, TOCOL [3 Pack] for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Screen Protector
I have been using almost exclusively glass protector up to now, but tired of the problem with curved screen. TOCOL really worked out.
The quality is very good. the right among of rigidity that feels solid when touching or using stylus, but also gives a bit of yielding and friction as if writing on paper. It holds up very well too, after a month, there has not been a single visible scratch. The adhesion is excellent without any delamination on edge. even once that I accidentally peeling it off when popping phone out of case, was able fully press protector back on without problem.
It also has a new (at least to me) a great idea of how it is applied... you get to see the description/video. by having a leading rigid edge to "sweep" the screen as it is applied, you won't have problem of small dust remaining on screen or misalignment anymore. quite brilliant.
and it is cheap...
How's the fingerprint
and how bad is the orange peel effect?
I've used Screen Knight protectors on all of my recent phones. Search on eBay costs around £4-5 depending on model.
It conforms perfectly to the curved screen, and is applied using water so you get a perfect screen with no chance of it being squint or getting debris underneath.
Fingerprint and screen sensitivity are unaffected. You wouldn't know it was on the phone.
My last one lasted 2 years and was literally unmarked.
Easy to remove to sell phone. Highly recommended for a phone with curved screen.

I am using Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 for
Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 since Octomber and i must say that it is awesome! None scratch, and very good feeling!
Information
Crystal-clear and anti-reflective, hard-coated, dirt-repellent, very simple assembly, residue-free removal
The totally new 3M Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 is designed for application on electronic screens and offers reliable protection from scratches and soiling.
The surface of the film is as smooth and shiny as glass. Adhesive and film are both crystal clear so that when applied, the film appears transparent. The special feature of this film is an additional anti-reflection coating that, in comparison to normal films, reduces the intensity of mirror images. The screen contrast can thereby be increased In high ambient light areas (if the screen is not already equipped with an anti-reflection coating). Black becomes even blacker.
The hard coating of the Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 furthermore offers optimal mechanical protection from scratches. An additional non-adhesive layer ensures that the protective film is also dirt-repellent enabling the removal of ball-point pens and marker pens ink through dry wiping.
An optimised adhesive layer ensures an easy-to-apply, bubble free application of the Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27. The adhesive layer is only slightly adhesive and readily forms a film over even surfaces. The protective film can easily be removed or repositioned at any time.
The film is optimised for use on resistive and capacitive touch screen and does not impair operability.
Our Vikuiti™ screen protectors are cut by laser in Germany on state-of-the-art machinery. Exact tailoring to forms and excellent border adhesion are guaranteed.
One package (set) contains:
1 Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27. For devices with multiple displays, the package contains one film for each display.

Shame he doesn't have one for i5801. It's about the same, but the cutout for the home button won't fit I guess.

From my awsm Galaxy 3.....
Is it just me or is it hard to find a screen protector that covers the entire front for the GS3??? I've been to Bell, Rogers and videotron and all 3 had a screen protector that were too small, it seemed to be cut out for the GSIII but left the bezel unprotected and made it more than annoying to swipe on your screen, I purchased 3 in-store and 1 on ebay and all of them, different brand but they were all the same, the covered just the screen and left the bezel nude. I finally had no choice, i was so tired of buying screen protector and havong to return them that i bout the 30$ Zagg Invisible Shield HD at bestbuy. This was the only one that was large enough to cover the front of the phone.
It's not just you; it's due to the fact that the screen for the SGIII is curved (similarly to that of the Galaxy Nexus). The only protector I'm aware of that compliments this feature is the upcoming Steinheil Curved Crystal: http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...creen-protector-steinheil-curved-crystal.html
well, it might be curved but that doesnt prevent people to make their screen protector 2mm wide on each side. I mean again, the screen might be curved but its barely visible, it not practically invisible. The Galaxy Nexus has a visible curve, but not the GS3
He provided a link above to what you want.
And the issue with the curve and a regular screen protector is that it will not properly stick to the curved edges - which was the issue with the nexus as well and thats why most of its screen protectors are cut short too.
The previous version of the ultra crystal did not stick to the edges of the screen due to the curve so they redesigned it to be the one he posted above.
It does not matter if the curve is visible or not, there is a curve.
lol this thread should be locked immediately... Try searching sometimes. It has been posted numerous times that the only covers that fir the whole screen at the moment are the wet install ones like Zagg.... Regular static cling one do not work because the are made from ridged material and are one FLAT piece which will not stick to the curved down sides..
SGP Flex HD covers the entire screen, but it's a wet install. It's close to impossible for a dry install cover to do full screen due to the curves.

Wet install protectors will cover the whole screen, dry install protectors won't. Simple as that
ATT's dry static cling screen protector made by "Moshi" does. I have had it from day one and I like it. I mean its not cheap but it gets the job done! I might install a ZAGG protector one day but not yet. I like the one I currently have.
yeah i hear you..i just installed a nano clear love it but not full on the corners..this will solve it..pre ordered
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...creen-protector-steinheil-curved-crystal.html
Most screen protectors that are short of covering the whole screen these day are made that way on purpose, so that if you put on a case that grasps the bezel and or over a portion of the screen's edge, it won't lift up the protector..
Today, I received and installed my test Just Like Glass screen protector from DBA Cases. It's larger than the current mass market screen protector that I'd previously bought for myself and my wife, but not yet installed. After installing the smaller one on my wife's SGS III, I'll compare them directly. My initial impression is favorable, but based on too little evidence to be worth much.
By way of background, I had a ZAGG screen protector on my Samsung Vibrant for several months, but removed it. Over time, I became dissatisfied with the extent to which the ZAGG darkened and obscured the screen--not, however, to the point of unusability. I also didn't are for the texture. Fortunately, for the next several months nothing happened to the screen. For that reason, when my Vibrant stopped charging and T-Mobile replaced it with a Samsung Exhibit II 4G, I went naked. Very shortly I discovered a small scratch. It's not noticeable with the screen on, but I know it's there. This experience determined me on getting screen protectors for our Galaxy S IIIs.
After removing the DBA Complete Ultra case, I installed the Just Like Glass screen protector in a steamy bathroom, with wet fingers. I prepared the screen in accordance with the clear instructions provided, except that I also cleaned it by spraying some Costco optical lens cleaner on a lint-free, microfiber eyeglasses cloth.
After spraying the protector liberally with the provided solution, it went on easily. I wrapped the provided cloth around the short end of a credit-card, which I used to squeegee out solution from under the protector. Noticing one circular area that would not squeegee out, I used scotch tape to try to remove it. Even with the protector on for barely a minute (post-squeegee), it was difficult to pry up. (This, I think, is a good thing.) Unfortunately, I did not succeed i removing the circle. Whether it's a dot of lint or dust, or will disappear of its own accord, time will have to tell. There are also some hazy areas in the upper left-hand area.
Neither the dot nor the haze is visible when looking through the protector with the screen on. The protector is very smooth. There's room around the perimeter for cases that take up more space than the DBA Complete Ultra that I installed last night.
Photos and developing impressions over the 5-7 days it's supposed to take to fully cure and for the solution to evaporate will follow.
***********
A few scattered impressions after less than a day's use. First, the texture or feel is smoother than the glass on my iPad. Second, on the two long sides of the phone, there's about a one-eighth inch gap between the edge of the screen protector and the edge of the phone.Third, the front-facing camera is uncovered, but the screen protector does cover the proximity sensor and light sensor. The CEO of DBA Cases says he easily can change the factory cut; I'll be checking over the next several days to see whether the current cut causes any problems.

Coming soon. I've wanted to give the screen protector a few days to bond/cure, and to be able to offer more than superficial impressions.
I will say that the Just Like Glass protectors are high quality, but I did a better job installing the (smaller) production protector on my wife's S III than I did installing the larger protector on mine. I'm not sure whether the larger size is more difficult; I had bad luck, or what. When the screen is on, there are no problems. But when it's off there's at least one pin-point that doesn't go away, even after trying the scotch tape trick.
So I presume you received the larger cut, has any peeling happened or does it perfect fit. I am also receiving one so ill be posting a review soon.
Also the reason you zagg invisible shield fogged up because I would say it is a little pourus so it collects grease from your face when you answer a call or what not

Hey guys, I'm having trouble finding any brand left that sell tempered glass for this phone.
The only one I found is XGear, base on the image I am certain that the designed is by having the adhesive stickers on the bezel/edges only, while the viewable area isn't adhesive. I have used tempered glass of similar design before and it is terrible. Since the adhesive stickers are thin on the edges, its not very durable and can leave gaps or pop out (especially since this is a curved screen), and let water in. It will also cause "rainbow effects" due to the gap between the two glasses. There are Amazon reviews that reflected my concern.
I'm looking for something like this which have the entire surface being clear and able to stick.
Doesn't seem like there are any available, but I wouldn't mind using tempered glass for another phone model that could fit on the Nexus screen, I think that's the best way to go. But I won't receive my Nexus in a few days, then I can see if the screen protector of the Moto X fit inside the Galaxy Nexus screen.
Bought a Nillkin Tempered GLass for my Note 3. Guess what.....after a month, the screen cracked by itself! I'm very sure it was not caused by wrong handling nor impact. All this 9H hype by Nillkin is just bull! Choose another brand!
Well I just decided to order a second i-Blason for the Moto X and put it on the Nexus. Kind of awkward, but it work. Couldn't fully stick because of the curved glass though, but the adhesive is durable enough so I'm not worried.

Was gonna buy the xgear thanks for the insight!
Galaxy Nexus
ROM: SlimKat 4.4.2
funny how purchases get based on "user" reviews. i read all 12, and the bad reviews remind of typical users that don't read directions, don't follow directions and then think if they pitch a fit with the manf and bad mouth the product they'll be redeemed of their stupidity.
dust under the screen or lifts at the curve?
1. poor cleaning prior to affixing
2. repeated removing and reapplying and failing 1.
it cracks? really? it's glass, treat it as such and pay attention to 1 & 2 above.
install tip: align and start from one end. it's not a bumper sticker, do not apply it as such.
dots and rainbow? if turned off and angled just right you can see it. turn it on and they're gone. the rainbow kind of reminded of how some windshields look while wearing polarized sunglasses.
i mostly lurk these forums but couldn't let this go. i've had my xgear tempered glass protector on for 2yrs without issue. i will buy more from them if available and my device doesn't have gorilla glass.
well worth the $30+ i spent at the time, has saved my phone too many times to count.
I'm also looking for a tempered glass that is different from Xgear...
I just installed an xGear Fantom (and just replaced my broken screen), I don't see any rainbow effect. I did notice that the protector at the sides sat flat against the screen, but were it curved it bowed out in the center. Looked clear, but definitely was not flush against the glass. I put a thick sock on the screen and some weight over top of it (a thick heavy hard cover book and a medium sized socket set), and that eliminated the bow and put a massive rainbow bubble into the middle of the screen. I lifted the top right corner of the protector slightly and the bubble moved straight out on it's on. It now sits 100% flat. I don't notice any loss of touch sensibility. As far as I can tell, this is going to work well, and last a loooong time.

xGear Fantom is expensive to me and it has bad critics. I'm trying to find another alternative although it is to another model of mobile with the similar screen's sizes 135.5 x 67.94 mm and the holes fit well. The Moto X's screen seem too small.
I think only xGear makes a tempered glass protector for the G'nex. Might be able to use one for another model, but I don't think it would work any better and you would have a higher chance of running into poor fitment.
But I do understand what your saying - some G'nex have a sensitivity bug that the xGear exaggerates (I'm lucky I don't), while some people have had problems with the glue giving out as well as sensitivity issues not related to the bug.
I'd think you could run into those issues with any brand of glass screen protectors, and further might run into other issues with fitment if the protector is for a different phone.
I can't say if I'll have adhesion issues (and so far nope - but only been barely a week or so since installing it), though I think I would have both if I had not noticed and taken care to eliminate the slight bulge out where the glass curved.
Mine did lay flat at the sides along the protectors boarder, and while it was clear for viewing the screen (as in it didn't look like I had air trapped under the protector), it was clearly bulged out (due to an air pocket) a few mm in the center of the screen where it naturally curves when viewed from the side - I was able to correct that with the weight and slight lifting of a corner.
Sadly, you may want to run your naked (no protector) or with a PET film protector.

BTW - I only paid something like $11 (Canadian) for my Fantom, and that includes shipping. I don't think it was a huge expense at all.

I think it's not necessary to use any kind of screen protection.
I have my GNex more than 2 years without using screen protector and it doesn't have any scratches
I bought a tempered glass protector ( Moto X) to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Unfortunately I did not find any that fit perfectly but it work rigth to me.... it was very cheap in aliexpress, only 1,60€ :good:
Hello,
Already anybody with a good fitting glass screenprotector?
I have tried 2, but they don't fit good at the edges.

I've seen many people with the same problem as yours, that is why I haven't got a screen protector.
I have some under watch in eBay, but I'm waiting on feedback before purchasing
I bought those "liquid/nano Screenprotectors" coz they fit every screen.
I dont know if they are good but my screen is still like new.
Ultimate Shield are now doing glass protectors for a range of Honor and Huawei devices, including the P20 Lite. They are priced to be a bit more premium, but I have used them in the past and been quite happy with them. This was before the trend of curving the edges of phone screens though. These are full sized protectors with a coloured border, but the glue is full coverage rather than just at the edges. I have just fitted one to my son's new P20 Lite. As it has just been fitted I am unable to comment on durability yet. However the fit seems pretty good. As mentioned, it covers the front of the device fully from edge to edge both horizontally and vertically. The hole for the speaker and camera lines up perfectly, but it does look like the black borders encroach a little onto the actual display area at the sides. I don't think this would be enough to impede usage of the phone on a daily basis. It is just noticeable as it disrupts the flow of the rounded corners. The edges are nicely rounded and are not a harsh edge, unlike the cheap protector that I currently have on my Honor View 10 (I have bought an Ultimate Shield for this too, just haven't fitted it yet). I did manage to get one tiny bit of dust under the protector which has caused a small bubble, but this is under the display in the chin area so no real issue and not a fault with the screen protector. There was another bubble at the top left of the display, but keeping pressure on this meant it eventually disappeared. At the edge in the same area I noticed a small sized air pocked just creeping out along the black border, almost as if it was a tiny area with the infamous halo. This isn't noticeable with the screen on and I hope it will go over time. Overall I am quite happy with how it fits and looks. The only real negative is that the supposed oleophobic coating doesn't seem to be doing a great job. But, tbh, I don't think I have ever found a screen protector where it has worked as I expected. Are my expectations just not realistic? Or do we have particularly oily finger tips? Nothing a frequent wipe on a t-shirt won't sort out though.
Would certainly recommend if you are fed up of these screen protectors that are much too small and give you a halo round the edges.

They also do full body coverage wet apply protectors (invisible shield style) if you like that kind of thing.
I got one when i bought the phone and it did not fit good at the edges, but i found a youtube clip called "Removing Halo Effect from Tempered Glass (Olive Oil)" and it worked for me. its been 3 months since then and all is good.
