Tempered glass screen protectors for the G2 are available...

Ships on 10/4 apparently... It looks like it's some kind of glass, maybe not the normal hard tempered glass type, but they claim 8H hardness.

Looks interesting. If you order one, let us know how it is.

YES finally!!

Careful, looks like this protector goes all the way to the edge of the screen. The edges of the G2 are curved, which means a screen protector will not attach properly

Of course you realize that is not a real product photo, right?
I am certain the actual shipping product fits properly.

The one you linked is flexible, so I'm not sure it's real glass. The site also links a more expensive tempered glass option which is thicker which I may pick up.
Only thing that could make it better is if it included the black top and bottom sections to cover the Verizon and lg logos.

I've never used a tempered glass screen protector.
How does it feel/look compared to regular screen protectors?
What benefits does tempered have over regular screen protectors?

Its clearer for one, the feel is just like using the phone without a protector at all.

I'm the WORST at putting these dang screen protectors on, no steady hands. Knowing my luck i'll finally get it on and aligned right with no bubbles then to only notice i have fingerprint marks underneath, lol!!!

when i got my gs4 it was the first time i ever decided to use a tempered glass screen protector. i bought a mime glass screen protector. now i cant go back to the screen protectors that are flimsy like zaggs. the glass screen protector feels just like you are touching the screen itself and the sensitivity as far as the phone goes, it thinks you are just touching its own glass so you lose none. only way you can tell you got 1 on will be at the top where the cut out for the ear piece will be. they are more expensive but if you want the best i'd recommend getting a glass screen protector. i'm hoping mime picks up the g2. they have the best customer support.

Ah, that's new from the other day... Not sure I like the rounded corners on it, they don't follow the contour of the actual screen. Sort of ghetto...

You do know glass can bend without breaking right? Fiber cables are glass.

just watched a few reviews on iloome glass screen protectors and they were all positive.. nothing negative.. I just installed the crystal hd by spigen which is pretty darn close to perfect.. these are undetectable other than the edges and not 100 percent the feel of glass.. I'd say 85 percent. I'll definitely purchase the glass one next time mostly for teh glass feel.. they are only around 10-15 dollars more.

Just FYI, I looked around some more and I saw a video of the "flex" model and it does "crack" on impact like a full glass one during the impact test. Obviously none of these splinter into shards to cut you, but the flexible one is definitely made of a material that is brittle enough to crack in the familiar spider web pattern of traditional tempered glass.
You can see this here at 7:25:

Just ordered one for my G2.
I got one similar on my Canon 5D MKIII DSLR and absolutely LOVE it!

Interesting this makes my choice harder

I don't want to wait the two weeks for this to release but I really want one. Those glass protectors give you great protection. You can use almost any flimsy case with it and feel secure.

Verizon G2 Tempered Glass and Diztronic Case Review

Ok I have purchased hohoo 9H Tempered Glass Screen Guard and 2 Diztronic Cases (Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case and Diztronic High Gloss Clear (Frosted Matte Inside) Flexible TPU Case)
First, the Hohoo Screen Protector...I had little trouble putting it on cause the Hohoo Screen Protector width size was exactly the size of the screen...so I spent a lot of time aligning it perfectly...but after I put it on the screen response with the protector on was good and the screen looked exactly the same as the screen without any protection. Just one thing that is bothering me is that on the top of the protector It doesnt stick well so it makes air gaps...If the air gaps were not big i will not care that much but right now it is coming down all the way to my front facing camera. when I press down on the gaps it decrease and as times goes by the gap gets bigger... I have contacted the seller and see if this is a defected product or not...so I will know pretty soon if i need to live with this or not. But in overall performance of this screen protector is really good in my opinion.
Second, the Diztronic Cases...With Hohoo Screen Protector the case fits really nicely. Its really slim case with good grip on the back. The matted black one was little bit more slippery feeling than the clear case. But the Matted black looks better than the clear one in my opinion.
All the cut out holes were perfectly aligned. This case will protect against everyday use scratches but if you drop the phone i dont think this case will protect it from saving your phone. Overall, if you want a slim case that doesnt any much bulk and protects every corner of your phone get it...if you think you will drop the phone get more bulkier case like otterbox or incipio dualpro.
I have order another Tempered glass protector called "SNP Glass Premium Tempered Glass"...It should be arriving soon so I have to see if that is better than Hohoo protector.
I have put links to the products that I have bought and some pictures.

the diztronic matte case looks really nice, probably gonna get that. Wish it didn't have the logo there but otherwise it is exactly what I want in a case for my G2. Had the Diztronic case for my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and it didn't have any logos, was hoping the logo was only there as a watermark in the Amazon photos but oh well, still want it.

It is a really good case compare to the options that there is for the verizon version. I really dont see any other that is slim as this case with decent protection. In my opinion...the logo looks not to bad....I thought about getting the poetic palette case...but it doesnt protect the bottom and the top so i skipped on that one.

I would like to know which glass screen protector is better. Please let us know. Thanks

Are you leaving the blue protector on the camera ring intentionally?

Is the Hohoo screen protector really tempered glass?
From here it lists it as PMMA.
http://www.amazon.com/Enhanced-Optical-Bulletproof-Protector-Optimus/dp/B00G46WQRE
PMMA is plexiglass.

No. I dont think it is glass...cause I think they are made by using PMMA. Its basically acrylic.
and it doesnt quite feel like glass, but close though. I might be wrong but i think this is a film that has 9h hardness made with PMMA, but with all the characteristic as the tempered glass. Im using it so far and had really no problem on the sensitivity or visual. The screen protector doesnt get scratches and it feel so much better than the cheap screen protector films.
One problem for me is that my screen protector's top part of the film was keep having gaps...so I emailed the seller...and they told me they are going to ship me a new one. In my opinion if you want to get a characteristic as tempered glass protector with less money go for this screen protector. If you want the real tempered glass screen protector then this is not for you.
I still havent received the other tempered glass protector...so until that comes im going to leave this protector on.

I left mine on. I have a Incipio Blue Feather case, and it kinda matches. It also protects.
I even have the plastic stickers still on over my back buttons. They never came off and don't interfere. so why not?
I'm getting interested in some glass SP. I have a cheap Verizon one on there now and its ok. I've seen the ones with the colored (white/black) edges that cover up the logos, which looks REALLY good. Basically looks like a whole new bevel. Have you tried those?
I'm currently looking for some comparisons. I know our screens are hard because of the tapered edges.

Ok the ones with the colored edges tempered glass protector...Well I had that kind of screen protector for my verizon galaxy nexus. The makers were from xgear...and I really didnt like it since it cracked so easily after little bump to the edge of the screen protector...so if you are thinking of buying xgear's tempered glass...i really dont recommend it. (http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/fantom) <-- This is what I have bought...They claim it is 8H harden protector...but in my case it was really looked really weak tempered glass. It covered the whole surface of the phone but it crack easily. I had two of the same tempered glass (one black and one white) and both crack easily.
I saw this --> (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LG-G2-T...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item4aca615c3b) on ebay...and was going to try it out if neither of the two tempered glass protector didnt work out for me. But only one came but it didnt fail me yet so no need to buy it right now.
But you have to think though if the screen protector is covering the whole screen you have to get a case that doesnt interfere with the screen protector. So back when I was using verizon galaxy nexus, I used cases like the poetic palette case, which has really minimum protector for the phone.
In my opinion...I really dont recommend xgears tempered glass protectors...I think they are really weak made...I personally recommend the Korean brands...or if spigen's tempered glass protectors if they make it.

Screen protector made for cases?

Hi, I've tried a few screen protectors now, but every time I put on my case it peels back the protector bc it's too close to the edges of the phone.
Does anyone know of any screen protectors that are meant for the G2 with a normal case on?

What kind of screen protectors have you used and what kind of case do you have?
Generally it shouldn't be much of a problem for the LG G2 since the screen protectors are usually cut "too small" due to the curved glass near the edges.
I GreatShield anti-glare screen protectors (PET) and they fit perfectly with my Spigen Slim Armor case.

I definitely don't recommend the anti-glare screen protectors though since they appear to pixelate your screen. Bought an anti-glare screen protector at the same time from Fosmon and it was the same as well.

Evecase Screen Protector Variety Pack with 2x Clear and 2x Anti-Glare Matte Film for LG G2 amazon

Get the Skinomi TechSkin, edge-toedge, wet apply and its great, i have it with the full body carbon fiber skin also.

Obliq Pure Crystal + Diztronic TPU case, very tight tolerances. Took me three times to get it put down right, each time was just a hair off, but enough that squeezing the case on the side popped up the edge of the protector.
Even my third try wasn't perfect, it was still popping up a little in one place, but this morning it has gone away. I'll keep an eye on it, I figured I was going to be trying it once more today.
Otherwise, it was an easy placement, looked even on sides, just a hair off. But that's all it takes

On my Galaxy Nexus, was told by Ghost Amour to just trim the edges a bit and that solved the case problem for me. I think you could use any protector if you did this.

yes just make sure you make them close to center perfect as possible; I'm using the matte ones; they give you two matte and two clear; dont matter what brand; I even spent $13 on the SPG clear HD one; and it still feels sticky like a zagg ; IMO matte is the only way to go; but there is a Lil pixelation; cause of the matte; but its a fare trade off;
p.s. dont forget to place screen protector about about 1mm below the VZW logo ; like the top edge of the protector should be at the i of the Verizon logo

Protection for Z1S (T-Mobile USA). Any recommendations?

HI there. Just ordered my Z1S and I'm really excited. Unfortunately it is new, limited to one carrier, and designed slightly differently than the international equivalent. So that means it's hard to find accessories.
I'm wondering if there are any manufacturers I should look out for that might produce a product I could use to protect the glass on the front and back. From what I've seen they are in fact pretty shatter-proof, but seem to scratch very easily.
I've never been the type to ever put a case on my phone, personally I think they detract from the beauty of the device, but I've seen some Nillkin glass screen protectors that don't look too bad.

I bought the Nilkin tempered glass for my Z1. Will never use any screen protector but tempered glass from now on. Really happy with it.
Couldn't get the link but search for this on eBay.

I already contacted the seller on ebay to see if they could source it for the Z1S. I don't see why not. That stuff all comes from factories in Shenzen and Shanghai... they can pump out stuff so fast. They have accessories made long before a device is announced.

My understanding is that the phone comes with the factory screen protector already installed

And in my experience when something is shatterproof it tends to scratch easily. Just like when something doesn't break it bends. There's always a tradeoff when you want lightweight protection.
There's some nasty scratch tests on youtube with the z1. Some drop tests too. Didn't shatter, but it didn't look pretty after.
If I can put an additional layer of strong glass on the front and back protect the nice stuff underneath... worth it.

Check out xtreme guard, they have both wet and dry install screen protectors for Z1s. I got both but used wet first.
So far, our Z1s doesn't have a reliable glass protector. I'm waiting for spigen to have one.

Recommended screen protector?

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho

Any you can recommend about $20 and under?

First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Full-Cov...ector-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-/332345555824
I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.

I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

Oh wow that sucks but for some reason YouTubers recommend this for s8 and note 8 idk man it looks promising but yeah that warning I've never seen before

There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.

I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..

I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.

I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?

yes

I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.
