Tempered Glass screen protectors; Recommended ones?

So I've been looking for a tempered glass screen protector for my Moto X, and I'm not sure which to get, the MIME or i-Blason. So I figured that I would ask the community what they recommend.

Between the two, i-Blason. It fits much better than the mime

I have the MIME, can't say as I'm super impressed with it. I'm considering switching to the iBlason just because it's thinner. I feel like the MIME is interfering with the touch sensitivity and causing me to have to press harder than I should. Plus it's just ever so slightly too low and the curved edge interferes with the front facing camera causing a slight distortion at the top of the image. I could move it, but that's where it sits centered.

I had MIME, dropped my MotoX couple of times, MIME did it's job and protected the screen. Unfortunately it chipped and then it started to break really quickly. Don't get me wrong I don't complain about this, it's glass it breaks when dropped on concrete, but it's $25 (+ shipping, I live outside US), and spending this kind of money every month is something I would like to avoid, so I bought some cheep Chinese one on eBay for less than $10. And besides that MIME has nice curved edges, I really don't see the difference...

I had the MIME on my X and while I liked it the sensitivity in the Nav bar area wasn't always good if the phone was say laying on a desk. That being said the MIME on my wifes X is perfect. I just removed my MIME and installed the Mocolo glass screen protector, install was as simple as the MIME and I even had to realign it slightly so peeling it off and putting it back on wasn't a problem. I now have No issues at the Nav bar area so I'm very happy with the Mocolo. http://glass4m.com/products/mocolo-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-moto-x-g
Just to add, the order to shipped to my door process was 6 days from China to NJ, very impressed.

I-Blason is the best fit out of all the available tempered glass screen protectors.

I-BLASON is the best fit size for moto x. But the glass cover Distance Sensor also.
Maybe have below problem:
Take a call, phone will auto screen off and can not make it on until end of this call.
Power key also can not use while calling.
Any one who have Iblason to check it have this problem or not?

I'm curious what (if any) case you are using.
I'm considering getting one of these, but I'm concerned about the fit inside a hard case. The hard cases are already a VERY tight fit, and I'm wondering if it can even be snapped on with the extra 0.33mm that the Mocolo adds to the thickness.
Can anyone advise?

I have a seidio surface case and an i-blason glass screen protector (ordered from amazon). Long story short the case does not overlap with the tempered glass protector that I got. Although mounting the tempered glass protector is best done with the case already on the device.Top to bottom the case and screen protector is a VERY tight fit (but it does barely fit)!
What confuses me though is people above are saying the i-blason protector covers the proximity sensor, mine doesn't, so I am a bit puzzled...

From what I understand, it used to, but they fixed it a long time ago.
I have the i-blason, was very careful with installation, used the "hinge" method, went on fine, been over a month with no issues, I use a minimal case, so no issue with it. I still "baby" it, the protector is more so that in case, I'll say "lucky I had a protector on it"

The difference between version 1 and 2.

I have the mime, and coming from the Zagg glass on my Galaxy S5 which was absolutely amazing, it is just as good. The fit is extremely tight though, you need to be spot on for installation. I have only given it a day though so I'll see if it stands the test of time.

Ok so the Ghost Glass only lasted about 2 weeks before it started to chip in the sides from just daily use. Then it shattered when I went to remove it. Customer service responded in less than an hour with a free replacement coupon. So A+ for customer service but the product kindof sucked. Using it was great but as soon as there is one fault the whole thing is junk, something that my Zagg Glass didnt have an issue with. The Zagg cracked but still went on without an issue for 2 months, and even upon removal it stayed in one solid piece.
I will try the replacement for a while and then go to iBlason if there is any issues.

I have the motocolo. The touch screen is good, but the sensivity not realy realy.

Love my iblason, it started getting spiderweb cracks after several months of use, but I was able to transfer the cracked one to my replacement moto x while I work on getting a replacement iblason. No luck emailing them, I have to fill out the warranty form on the site now

Iblason have 2 version? I see many problems with proximity sensor?
Thanks

So any updates on the glass protectors you guys are using?
I've had my MIME for over a year and it's starting to chip and crack after dropping it. I'm not sure if I want to get another one cause I had a lot of difficulty putting it on precisely so as to not have bubble edges.

I have the Mocolo Glass Screen Protector. This Glass fits very nice on the Moto X.

I had motocola but I find the sensitivity of the touch worse so I gave classic screen protector.

I haven't tried all the glass screen protectors, but I bought the monoy and I love it. The best part about it is the edges are curved so your finger just flows over the sides and it feels great.

Any consensus on the best aftermarket tempered glass screen protector?

Firstly, I have read through many of the threads existing on protectors.
When I checked YouTube to see if there were any videos comparing screen protectors for the OPX there were none, so I watched a video comparing 4 screen protectors for a different phone. Of these Armorz and Bodyguardz protectors seemed to come out on top, and survive the strenuous tests the videomaker put them through. It seems neither of these brands make protectors for the OPX.
Next I searched this forum and read through many of the threads on the different screen protectors. For as many people that promote the different protectors, there seem to be as many if not more detractors, complaining of rainbox effect, the protector fitting one OPX but not another, air bubbles, etc.
I ordered my OPX today, and I intend to order a Spigen OnePlus X Case Rugged Armor Black but I was hoping to compliment that with a screen protector.
I was hoping to order the best protector, that will fit my OPX, no rainbox effect, and that will not cause any isue with the Spigen Case - does this exist?

Simple answer is it depends on luck.
I have tried several including 1+, Nillkin, generic, full cover... None of them are perfect, if you go for any like the official 1+ one where only the display is covered you may end up with horrid air bubbles around the cover, many people complained of this-I only know of one guy who done it flawlessly. The plus side of this is that cases will fit fine. The full cover one is the best one I've tried, though it has a rainbow effect in the middle of the screen which can be seen under bright light conditions or on a white screen. This screen protector doesn't have any air bubbles and fits great, only downside is the rainbow, some cases should fit fine e.g. I use the Nillkin frosted back cover which fits without issue.
For me the small rainbow is something I can deal with unlike the air bubbles around the whole display which were an eye sore, you'd be lucky if you didn't get any. So it is hit and miss tbh, just trial and error, I wasted a good £20 on protectors for this phone, which is something I'll never do again.

In the end I ordered from Amazon:
OnePlus X Screen Protector,Nillkin®[Anti-Explosion ][With Camera film][With Back Protector]Amazing H+Pro 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector for OnePlus X
You mention the protector you use covers the whole phone, but the thing is that I also want the added protection of the Spigen OnePlus X Rugged Armour.
Accepting that they all have flaws, as I can probably still cancel my order and change it, and considering I want front screen protection AND the Spigen Rugged Armour case, do you think I would be better with a different protector than the Nilkin?
*Air bubbles are the main thing I wish to avoid, I could live with a Rainbox effect, once it is only visible from certain angles etc.?
It is a real shame there are non more protectors, I really was sold on Bodyguardz or Armorz protectors after watching the videos where they were tested, and was disappointed to discover they do not make protectors the OPX. I am guessing they do not think there is enough of a market to make it worth their while.

I had a look at the case and it seems that the Nillkin one is probably your best option, as the case covers the sides and slightly overlaps on the front-full protector covers the whole front so you may get issues with it.
Have a look for yourself, here is the one I bought (and currently use):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281856280418
This is the issue, you could risk bubbles and use the spigen or avoid them, live with a rainbow and use another case. It's down to luck, you may not get any bubbles or rainbow depending on which one you use.

The first sentence in your reply is not so clear, you are saying the Nilkin it is the best option although I may still have issues with it?
I ordered the protector you linked to on eBay about a week ago, but it will take a few weeks to get here!
I do have my Nilkin H+ protector here, my Spigen Rugged Armor case, and my OnePlus X arrived about 15 minutes ago
I want to try apply the Nilkin cover right away - I will post picture for others - but what is the best method? I read somewhere on the forum that we should make sure to use the 'x method', but I cannot remember what x is?

The full cover protector covers the whole front, I mean edge to edge, so the case may not fit-it may conflict with the glass. The Nillkin one only covers the display/screen not the side edges/bezels so you will have no issues with the protector and case.
I have never heard of the 'x method' so don't know, but the best method I have used is with tape or alignment stickers (your protector may have came with them). So you carefully align the protector with the display, apply the tape so it stays in place, remove the film and just close the protector (like a book), apply some pressure in the centre and leave it for a few minutes. Oh and make sure there isn't any dust before applying the glass, use a microfibre cloth to clean.
Also, just to clear things up-you may have issues with the full cover glass protector (not Nillkin-I gave the ebay link previously), the only issue with the Nillkin one is that if you botch it, you will have an air gap around the whole glass. Though if your lucky you may not.

I think this is the x method:

I'm happy with it. The glass feels better then the plastic stock one.
Use the 'hinge method' to apply the screenprotector.

Though I haven't tried it myself.
Please upload some picture of your result when you are done

Used hinge method, still got the rainbow effect. I tried unhinging it a few times and cleaned both the screen and the protector and places it back on but there was always a rainbox effect - the last time I tried removing it the protector cracked

I was suspicious at the time when I tried installing the Nilkin Screen Protector, the plastic film removable cover of the protector was on the OUTSIDE of the tempered glass!!!!
WTF!
I know it was on the outside, and not the inside, because the holes in the glass for the front ear speaker and front camera would only line up when the film cover was on the outside, that is facing me as I looked down at the phone. This was the first tempered glass screen protector I ever tried to install, so I assumed I must be mistaken and continued trying to install.
From the videos I have looked again, it seems that this film cover should always be on the inside of the protector (before being removed), that is, on the side of the tempered glass that will be touching the screen of the phone?

Thanks, yes that is the method, see my comments on how it did not work and how I think they somehow sent me a screen protector with the film cover on the wrong side.

xx

As you can see the plastic film protector is on the wrong side of the tempered glass, well, if you want the holes for the speaker and camera to line up!
http://i.imgur.com/VJU5LC7.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/VJU5LC7.jpg

Yeah, the film is on the inside, the side that attaches to the screen, peeling the plastic sheet off exposes the adhesive bit which sticks to the glass. Just saw the pictures, bad luck man. I got through like 3-4 protectors before settling-if that makes you feel better.

Then I am not losing my mind! Did you see the picture I posted?
Amazon are refunding me at least. I hate that I could not apply a protector to the brand new screen.
Like I said before, I have ordered the one you recommended but it will take some weeks to arrive, and I think you said it will not fit with my Spigen Rugged Armor case anyway.
Can you recommend any others and I will order now? I am in Ireland so possible options are Amazon UK or ebay, though I guess I can order from anywhere really.

As this device is relatively new (only a few months old) there are not many variations of protectors available. As far as I am aware there is the Nillkin type which covers the screen only and the full cover which covers the whole front. I got the ebay one in about a week (China to London), I chose standard delivery (its free and faster than economy).
Check the image in my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65705849&postcount=37
That is the full cover one, I had an issue and got it replaced, now it only has a slight rainbow-but I can live with it.

TIFU - I did not realise the second smaller hole in the Nilkin tempered glass was for the proximity sensor, the camera has no hole...

Cases that work with Whitestone Dome glass

I've been waiting to install my whitestone dome glass until I finally received a full body case. I finally received 2 of the Spigen cases and I come to find out that if I install the whitestone glass then the front part of the case won't go on, on either of my cases. Has anyone found a case that works with the whitestone dome glass.
Just in case you're wondering I have the Spigen Thin Fit design case and the Spigen Ultra hybrid design clear case.

I wouldn't imagine that there would a front case cover that would be compatible with the Whitestone Dome screen protector due to the fact that the screen protector curves. If the case is made to fit over the tempered glass than the plastic around that area would much thinner and weaker. This might be possible if the case is made out of Aramid. Then this is were my mind goes in circles, why didn't Samsung create an Aramid front cover and just the back one only. When I first noticed that the Whitestone screen protector I immediately thought there will be for sure many complaints regarding either "defective" or bad design screen protectors due to the pressure of the front case cover on the screen protector, causing the protector to shift.

This is what I was worried about. It didn't seem like the whitestone would fit with a front case. So i guess leads to the next question, what will provide better protection, a whitestone glass or a front case. I feel like day to day, the front case will help prevent a lot of scrapes and scratches but when your drop it, i don't know if it will really protect the screen. Decisions decisions. First world problems....

So for protection, front case would be the way to go. This wouldn't apply to all case, ie something sharp could still damage the outside screen. If a drop does happen, front case or just case would offer better protection. The downside on most front cases, are the limited ability to swipe down or just touch response around the edges of the screen.

I found this today. This guy installed both the whitestone glass and the Spigen case at the same time. You just have to deal with the front case being lifted a little. But it's not that bad.

Anyone just using screen protectors and no case?

Just can't find a front and rear case that I'm 100% with. They are mainly to Bulky or to flimsy.
Ao at present I'm using front, rear and hinge 'screen protectorso
Think I might be being foolish though. Guarantee I drop it now!

Same here actually. I have the Armid case from Samsung but I usually prefer phone naked so it is the same with Fold 2. I didn't remove yet the inner screen protector but planning to.

I was using the phone without any protective case because like you said, none of them fits 100% to my liking, and guess what happened. I have dropped the phone from 2 feet and cracked the edge of the front screen. I couldn't sleep for 2 days how upset I was, but fortunately my local Samsung care center replaced the screen right away for roughly $150.00, but they installed new front screen that has absolutely no factory screen protection, so I am using the phone naked outside. Yesterday my Ringke case arrived so I put it on immediately, just in case but it's not perfect. But I will have to live with it. I am receiving Samsung Aramid case tomorrow, so I will see which one I will keep on the phone.

I don't know if this idea is good to remove the inner display protector. I don't do this. for what ? perhaps scratches in the inner display ? not for me
has anybody removed the outer display protection ? I think this is not a big problem cause gorilla glass victus is here.

It doesn't matter what sort of glass it is, if you look at the right hand side corners the glass is bulged out so any impact there will 100% shatter it. I had/ have a note 20 ultra with a broken screen, still under repair (for more than a month now) so don't completely trust the victus branding.. glass is glass and glass breaks :crying:

I removed the inner screen protector as I didn't like the feeling of it. It was also very difficult to keep clean of fingerprints and smudges and I was unable to see past that.
Now, the screens looks and feels ALOT better, but I've noticed some small scratches on the screen. They appear to come from my left thumb nail while scrolling. Even though I keep my nails fairly short. The scratches are only visible when the screen is off an from the right angle. I can't feel them, but they can be wiped away.
There aren't enough bad scratches to bother me yet and I don't regret removing the protector... but I thought you should know.
If the scratches get bad, I'll get a screen replacement and maybe consider a protector... but I'll only keep the phone for a year, so it'll probably be naked again even after a replacement ??

I went naked as well for tha same reason I couldn't find a good case...stock screen protector inside and out!

No protectors inside or out, no case, pure naked. It's a joy to run this way but one little drop later I could be weeping like a schoolgirl with a skinned knee. That window ends in about a week as I finally found a case as premium as the phone and I'll be in a wallet soon.

I use only this for carring the phone.
this fits very good !

Fit good for the first test. Arrived today from china ...

I think the naked looks and feels the best!!! Then why using covers, protectors, or else!!!

I use on all sides hydrogel. And works great... I drop it 4 times to all surfaces and still no scratch.

I'm not prone to dropping my phones or having butter fingers, however I don't want to chance it. So far I have purchased a Whitestone dome for the front (have not installed it yet), Samsung's aramid and leather cover (still waiting on my leather cover to arrive). The last phone I rocked without a case was my HD2? That thing is a tank!

No case ..
Only screen protector inside and outside
Sent from my SM-F916B using Tapatalk

My simple experience after around 2 months of use. I finally got the courage few days back to remove the inner screen. Knowing I prefer always my phone without a case and a protector.
The inner screen , without a doubt is way clearer and less smudgy without one and it is perfect.
Anyways, I have already bought 2 orotectors, both are somehow the sam price, however, one turned out to be excellent and as good as without protector and one is more smudgy than the original.
My recommendation for ones who doesn't want to keep inner screen without protection is to get the good one, you get the best of both words, clarity and protection.
I have the samsung aramid case since day one but I never used to be honest, only the first few days...
The good protector and the bad one in sequence:

I forgot to mention both came in a typical outside packaging to my surprise... I thought they are bluffing actually

I used matte black outside screen protector and Orzero inner screen protector which is night and day comparing to the stock plastic feel one. For case, I went with Spigen Slim case works well because I dropped the phone once and some minor scratches on the edges.

What case is this you're using? Looks good! Interested in buying one myself.

I just removed the inner (original) screen protector and installed matt hydropel screen protector. The original one is really just badly . I like the matt taste now on the inner screen and of course no fingerprints anymore...

I went ahead a few days ago and removed the inner and outer screen protectors. The inner was getting nastier looking with smudges plus I signed up for Samsung Care+ so if anything happens to the screen I only pay like $29 for a replacement.

Question Screen protector question

Are there any issues with having a screen protector on this curved screen? Are they harder to put on? Do they tend to come off? I'm trying to decide between getting the Pro or the regular version. I know in the past there were issues with curved screens. In addition to what's mentioned above, the screen protectors for curved screens didn't provide complete coverage. TIA

If your happy with none tempered glass then curved isn't a problem. I've still got the one that came with my devices and have no issues with keeping it on for as long as possible

There some nice uv light glue +tempered glass on aliexp, i'm waiting for mine, i had curved displays before and it's the best you can get, the glue is really there to be on all the surface nad even on the curves, i'm tempted to install some s20+ protector on my 9pro because it's the same size nad curves, till the ones i'm waiting for arrives

It's ok, but my devices prefer naked...

I've ordered a couple too.
I bought the Spigen NeoFlex from Amazon, they are a TPU protector and they are useless, too flexible to apply easily and also the edges do not stay stuck down to the curve so would pick up dirt and come off easily. I sent back for a refund as not fit for purpose in my view.

I bought the Zagg InvisibleShield GlassFusion+ for my Pro and the normal tempered glass by Zagg for my 9. Both with the eye comfort, micropel bs. The GlassFusion+ is the old school "rubbery" type screen protectors. It definitely feels like glass, but isn't glass. It goes somewhat to the edges of the glass. Maybe stops ⅛" from the actual end of the curve. Bubbles like crazy by the curves. Keep having to smooth them out but they keep showing up. Not sure if it's cause of the screen protector or not. Went to register them with Zagg and had to talk to customer care and it escalated to a supervisor because apparently they're not even in their system yet. Go figure lol

Are you saying that the phone comes with a tempered glass screen protector and there are no issues with it?

It sounds like for the curved screen the tempered glass is better and for the flat screen you can use TPU. Is that the consensus?

i still cant recommand it yet because didn't receive it, but what i do recommand is a screen protector that come with the glue and uv light, because the glue will be at all the surface, hardens fast, no bubles, and it does not come loose easily

I've not recieved my glass ones, and I'd certainly go with a LOCA/UV glue version as those that are out on Amazon look to not be full glue coverage, some even just have the top,sides and finger print scanner and they look awful.
I can safely say though that I feel a TPU one would be false economy as not only do they offer very little in the way of drop protection, the one I tried didn't fit well at all.

On my 8 pro , I've used a few UV type glued protectors with no issues at all with Whitestone Dome being my favorite for a genuine feel and solid protection. I emailed them and they said later this month for the 9 pro. If you go this route justake sure to put the sticker over your ear piece when applying the glue.

Whitestone Dome was the best I had on previous phones. Thanks for the info on time frame. My factory-installed film protector just started to lift on one edge yesterday so I'm ready to buy a replacement, but I'll probably wait and get one of those.
