[Q] Screen Protector - Curved Screen causes bubbles? - Nexus S Accessories

Hi,
I have tried several dry-application screen protectors, and I am unable to apply them without strip of air at the top and bottom edges. I am presuming that this is due to the curvature of the display.
Has anyone found a screen protector that doesn't have this issue? I am aware that some manufacturers shorten the top and bottom edges of their protectors to avoid this.
Also, do wet-application protector fare better in this regard?
Thanks.

I got a free screen protector when a bought a gel case on ebay, the interesting thing was that the screen protector was slightly curved in shape so I didn't have too much problem with bubbles and removed them by pressing down on the bubbles gently with a credit card.
This is the case I bought: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RED-S-CU...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a11860e69

neo: That's good to know. You're referring to the strips of air at the very edges of the display, right?
CMX: hmm, that's quite interesting. I have never heard of a curved protector before.

Yea i just used a hairdryer...it work great!!..i used a heat gun once n that work even better

Do not use a screen protector!

I am not sure why people still use screen protectors on today's high end devices especially phones like the Galaxy Note II with the enhanced toughened glass it has. Not only do they look terrible, they cause problems. See the numerous video uploads of people trying to scratch the glass for proof of how tough it is.
The Galaxy Note II has an extra issue with screen protectors in that it obviously uses an S-Pen detection layer.
I have just read the official manual for it and it clearly states NOT to use one as it causes sensor malfunctions. See attached clipping:

This is very true with the invent of gorilla glass I have personally tried acracthing screens with no success I have even gone to the point of using an extremely sharp knife and dragging the point across the screen, he screen protectors are only really good for keeping fingerprints off screen ans if you are worried about that you really have no business having a touch screen and yes the cause many problems

ya let me see you go to the beach and somehow manage to get some sand accidently on ur phone like i did when i tucked my phone in my bag which happened to have caught some sand from playing arnd..........do that and then come back here and tell us what u think of screen protectors......
I think the massage for sensor error is not for s-pen. but maybe for brightness or gesture hand on the top of the sensor.
I'll test it when it arrives.
But gorila glass or not... every phone i had got scratched, and if it was made with diamond glass .- it would scratch...
F..it - I'll use the screen protector. (bestskinsever has the best one for me.. I just emailed them when will they get one for NOTE II.

Gorilla glass will still scratch I had a htc one x with a few light scratches from sand and everyday grit

I get AMAZED when people vouch for screen protectors like they are invincible ARMOR which protects the screen from all possible damage like that from Sand all keep talking about.
Is it so that sand will not scratch the screen protector but will the screen? Or is it that we feel that even if it does scratch the screen protector, it will miraculously save the screen? Both this conditions seems quite ambiguous and UNBELIEVABLE to me unless I see a proof that screen protectors ACTUALLY save the screen even when scratched through Sand or Diamond or whatever!
I would appreciate enlightenment through fellow members on this and more thoughts accordingly.
This really annoys me.
Gorilla Glass SRATCHES. It may not be a huge scratch but you will always get light scratches which only show up when you inspect the screen closely and I HATE those more because you can be so careful with the phone and then find some tiny dust particle you couldn't even see has made a mark on your display. I hate it.
Screen protectors get Scratched. They will get more scratches than the glass because they are softer but the screen will be perfect underneath.
And when it's really dirty ill just change the protector.
I agree that the protectors won't stop something seriously sharp like metal going through but if you take care with the phone and use a protector then the phone will be perfect for as long as you have it.
And incidentally I have a GLAS.T SGP protector on my iPhone 5. It's glass so it won't scratch easily, and yes it will pick up light scratches but again underneath its perfect.
That's why I use them.

Why is this confusing to you? If you cover something, and the cover is scratched, then you can just change the cover. If your protector is pierced, then of course no go, but I suspect your screen is still damaged. Scratches are typically not deep.

My question is more related to the THICKNESS of those screen protectors. How does a less than 1mm thin plastic skin protect whats beneath. Wouldn't it scratch the screen anyway when it is exposed to sand and hard metal which can scratch Gorilla glass?
I get extremely annoyed when the screen protectors themselves may get easily scratched even while putting on the screen. I have used SGP Ultra Fine on my SGS2 for few weeks and while I loved the way my fingers used to glide over them with hardly any smearing compared to the original Gorilla glass screen, I could not tolerate the numerous scratches it got despite careful use and hence had to remove it to avoid the distraction and recover the outstanding display beneath. I hate spoiling the display for such hypothetical situation where we believe that the protector can actually protect the screen as I anyway never had any scratch on my SGS1 and only recently noticed couple of them on my SGS2 which may have come during a visit to the service center and am still okay with the screen without the protector as otherwise the screen is still flawless and those scratches are invisible unless specifically searched at an angle with strong light (like sunlight) comes through a specific angle.
I think people are missing the point here, my original post made reference to the Samsung manual for this device which clearly tells you not to use one as it causes malfunctions.
The negatives outway the positives in that, they alter functionality of the phone as stated by Samsung, they spoil the appearance of your phone with bubbles and mis-alignment, they are not going to save the screen from heavy scratches anyway and the only people that really benefit are companies that sell them.
If you use one and you are happy with that then all well and good. But personally I find if you take care of your phone and use a good case as I have done for years you simply won't need a protector.
I used one for months on a first gen Note, no problems at all; I can't imagine why it would cause any problems. And the reason I installed one is because before I installed it, a small bit of dust caused a noticable scratch on the glass. As for appearance issues, if you take your time and install a decent quality one, you won't notice it at all, and I tend to prefer the feel of a protected screen over glass now. Having used a few protectors over the years, it's hard to imagine what you'd be doing that could penetrate a protector, short of attacking it with a Stanley knife, in which case your screen is the least of your worries. They're designed to take minor scuffs, and since this is a stylus orientated device, I'd be worried about dragging plastic over it without some protection.
I am on day 3 with my protector on my Note II and no problems.
Pen works perfectly. Pressure also works perfectly.
I want to know about this as I plan to draw a lot on my galaxy note and I am known to be quite "expressive". I don't want to scratch up my screen from doing digital paintings, that's why I want a screen protector :/

The bottom line is your screen will probably end up with a minor scratch after a year of use. So do you put some cheap plastic/rubber film on it and never enjoy the brilliant screen? Or do you enjoy it for all it's glory and deal with scratches if they happen?
The Note 2 comes with the best screen protector already. It is called Gorilla Glass 2. Why put a 10 cent (sold to you for $40) piece of crap on it?

Unless your screen protector is magnetic, it's not going to cause malfunctions.
You can put a piece of cardboard on top of your screen and it doesn't affect the stylus. Seriously. Try it.
The only way you are going to induce scratches is if your protector is made out of sand or something, or you trap sand or whatever under it.
I didn't use screen protectors with my galaxy note until I got a small scratch on the screen.
There is also a nice degree of comfort knowing your screen is protected. If you get something on the screen - dirt, oil, whatever.
Worst case scenario is you just get a new protector. (versus a new screen).
Do I really NEED one? Perhaps not. But I do anyway.

Screen protector with s-pen

So I've been reading the thread about not using a screen protector because it can mess with the s-pen but im curious if anyone who has one has actually had issues. I used to buy screen protectors but last time I did i got frustrated with air bubbles and gave up. My year old g2x which has gorilla glass still doesnt have a scratch on the screen. I carry my phones in leather belt holsters so that helps with eliminating pocket scratches. I'd like to hear from people who actually have put a screen protector on thier note 2.
Unfortunately I can't comment on using the S-Pen with a screen protector, but I will link you to this video about screen protector installation that will reduce the likelihood of having bubbles.

Pretty good method. The issue I would always end up with is no matter how many times i wipe the screen there ends up being one tiny spec of dust that land on the screen and cause a bubble and once that happens you basically screw because the dust never wants to come off the protecotor. You can see in his video that the same thing happened to him and he was able to get it off with tape. I have some confidence in gorilla glass after going over a year with my g2x and still no screen scratches but plenty of drops.

go to your bathroom let the hot water run for few minutes so it collects all the dust in the air, then apply it there and hopefully you will have no dust
I use a screen protector, and also had one on my Note 1 and have no problems with the S pen functionality or sensitivity.
I had a 1 week period with no protector on the Note 2 as the shops didn't have any in yet, and noticed no difference between it being on or off.
I use the Focus Crystal Clear. It is very thin and clear. They have matt, anti glare ones, but they make the screen look dull.
http://www.dplushk.com/ultra-crystal-clear.htm
I got the shop to put it on for me. They did an excellent job. They used tape to clear the screen of dust, and also used tape to handle the protector whilst lining it up to apply it. That allowed them to lift it back up again if the alignment was slightly off without getting finger prints on the screen.

I Just want to take the time to thank both of you. I Ordered a Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector and used both of these methods combined and ended up with a perfect install on my first try. I just got my Note 2 in the mail today and left the original screen protector on it. Did the hinge method with painters tape, took a shower then took off the original screen protector and applied the Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector. Came out great! O yeah I also wore a pair of rubber gloves just to be even more safe since I've had so many bad experiences applying screen protectors. I will comment back on S-Pen usage with the protector once I've actually used the phone lol i was just so excited about applying the protector perfectly that I had to come and thank you guys first!

Is it the same glass as from the Galaxy S3?
I not used a protector on the S3 and till so far no problems. The glass is still beautifull
+1 for Spigen!
I purchased the Spigen SGP [Ultra Oleophobic] and it installed and works perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009F260IA/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
The first day I was a little worried the material was too "grippy" but oils from fingers/face has it working perfectly.
Oh and an additional installation trick is to take super fine grit sandpaper to your fingers tips (ha, not to get rid of fingerprints!!) to exfoliate dead skin cells that usually make up the tiny particles that contaminate the film or screen, especially around the edges where you can't help but make contact with the underside of the film. After using the sandpaper wash with a soap that does not have a lotion in it (like some dish soaps and Dove etc). I personally use denatured alcohol to remove all the oil from my fingers so touching the screen or film inadvertently will not leave any marks. It's only a few extra minutes of prep but gives you a flawless installation every time.

Moshi Screen Protector Visor

Anybody ever try this?
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/screen-protectors/sku6280704.html#fbid=rkaXUfy0tjG
I haven't tried it but it sounds very interesting. Be very careful when you choose a screen protector. I have had a Copter screen protector on my Note 2 now for 2 days and it looks like a dartboard. It's to soft for the. S-Pen stylus. Even before the damage caused by the S-Pen reading small text was impossible due to the structure of the plastic film. $20 down the drain.
Interesting find. I have moshi palm guard for my 17" mbp since day one and it's held up very well against my watch and tungsten bracelet.
interesting for sure.... I am waiting for Spigen to release there glass cover for the SN2. I am happy with there lines of things. I picked up the Valentinus however a bit leery since my cards and all touch the screen.

I tried it with my Note 1, and didn't like it at all. Although it did protect the screen and was definitely reusable, I always saw it and found it obscured the screen too much for me.
If you like the "anti-glare" versions of other screen protectors you will like it. There is only adhesive on the outer rim so it is impossible to get a bubble on the actual display. However like other anti-glare protectors it will reduce visibility.If you are used to the crystal clear protectors I would not recommend it.

Temp glass screen protector discoloring...

I don't usually use the temp glass protectors but I found one I could get quickly for this Mix and am using it. It went on nicely, very good fit but after a day or two I noticed this oil slick like discoloration/distortion in center section of the screen. It isn't noticeable when using the device unless screen is displaying lots of black or dark colors but it is annoying when the screen is off. Removing and reinstalling didn't change anything. Anyone got a thought as to how to get rid of it?

I have the same issue and hate not using a tempered glass screen protector. Maybe we need to try a bootleg screen protector and see how that works. I'll order from Amazon if possible and see if I have the same results.
I had a glass screen protector preinstalled by the seller but eventually peeled it off because of the halo effect around the edges... If you guys find one that doesn't peel up be sure to report back so others can benefit too ?

Finally a proper fitting glass screen protector.

I have tried many and finally found one that actually fits. Until now the best one I have seen is the non glass protector made by Skinobi (for those that like plastic ones use it). However in the glass department they all sucked. The Qoosea one fit but it's about as cheap as you can get construction wise. It's curved but it only has a small amount of basic adhesive along the edges. So basically pocket lint can get under the screen and get stuck there. Also since it doesn't fully sit on the screen sometimes using the screen itself can be a hassle due to poor touch detection. Well all I can say is thank god Top Ace came out with one recently and actually got it right.
It's curved glass, plenty of adhesive on the side that counts and by god it actually fits perfectly. Things line up where they are supposed too. Anyway figured this deserved it's own post since finding a glass protector for this phone can be a pita at times due to the curved edges. Posted a link below, hope it helps. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3MZQTK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got mine yesterday and I can confirm that yes, this one actually fits great. I bought 2 in case they don't make them anymore when the first one eventually breaks.
From the pictures and one of the latest reviews it looks like this screen protector covers up the light sensor. Are there any completely clear screen protectors that fully covers the front?
Just read one of the comment said it covers the sensor that the phone is unable to turn on the screen automatically during a call when you put it away from your face. Anyone can confirm it?
I bought one on Ebay and it arrived and had curvy edges, but the idiots had sent me one for the full-size Xperia X even though it was in a packet marked X Compact. Way too big. Now I have to fight for a refund.

Anyone know of a UK source for these or a seller who will post to the UK on Ebay/Aliexpress etc?
I too bought one that only sticks to the edge of the phone and it's already got a piece of dust underneath it! I love being able to swipe from the edge with the curved edges and I love the longevity of glass screen protectors, but it's horrible to use as it's just floating a bit off the surface of the phone and makes a click noise/feel when I tap. I asked a load of Ebay sellers and they all said their glass curved screen protectors only stick around the edge of the phone.
Thanks.
Hi,
I found this one on Devilscase when I checked the Aluminium bumber.
http://www.twdevilcase.com/en/index.php?menu=prod_detail&mid=21&did=7&pid=5258&list=class It's curved and seems to have the adhesive on the full screen (except the edges).
Did anyone tried it already out?

Based on them saying all over the website "Please be noted the adhesive is visible on the edge of CURVED Glass Protector" I imagine these ones only have glue on the edges too.
If anyone is wondering, I've attached a photo of what happens if you use a generic glass Ebay curved screen protector that only has glue on the very edges for a fortnight! Lots of dust has crept in through the speaker holes etc - the white dots showing are all dust UNDER the screen protector. I'm going to buy a plastic one that will stick properly.
I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8XMXGB
Seems like it just ran out of stock though.
edit: I asked the seller and they said they will not restock it, so I guess this will be the last time you'll see it.

I did. I paired it with the aluminum bumper and while the bumper is top quality as usual with devilcase products, I can't say the same for the screen protector.
The screen protector does fit perfectly but it collects dust behind it after few weeks and the responsiveness and consistency of the touchscreen are compromised.
I've been looking for an alternative to buy in Europe but found none. Topace is not an option as is in stock only on Amazon USA. If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem and got refunded. Ordered from different seller and got the correct sized one. The item itself is bad. It feels plastic, touch is not always responsive and swipe gesture for opening menu drawer is hard. I need to really press the edge before doing the slide. Screen feel more distance and it feels there are separation between the protector and the screen.
I replaced it with a generic plastic screen protector which actually feels better, easier to make slide gesture, seems more seamless. The ebay curved screen protector is really that bad. I am going to keep using the plastic one and cut a new one to fit it more properly. I also need to check how to prevent it is being lifted up accidentally from the dangling side. I can stand the dust on the dangling side, but i hate when it is lifted up and the lint is actually below the screen protector.
My experience
This is the reference for my second e-bay cover it does not have dust and has lasted much longer than my first that did.
My recollection is that there is adhesive everywhere.

No. You are wrong. I bought one based on your recommendation and it's just another rubbish one that only only has glue in thin strip round the edges that will allow dust to creep in the speaker/camera holes and scratch the screen. More negative feedback to leave!
Why do not manufacturers produce a curved screen protector that's made properly!?! The glue can't be that expensive! [emoji36]
