Does anyone else's screen protector have dust collecting under the spot where the screen curves down into the bezel? its above the speaker grille and also below the capacatives.
I ordered a zagg and I'm hoping that it doesn't also do the same thing.
Has anyone come across a screen protector that doesn't suck/ do this?

Well im on my third zagg invisible shield, the previous two where not a perfect fit. Thats why they where also collecting dust at the bottom part where the keys are. Te third one ive ordered of their site and its much better fit for my nexus. There is no dust under it after more than two months of use.

Good, I just ordered one from Zagg and hopefully it fits like yours does.
I have an Xtreme Guard (here) and I don't have this problem. Fits perfectly.
My Nexus S came with a Zagg already installed, and yeah, I kinda hate it. I'm too lazy to order another one and put it on, so I'll deal. I was just wondering if anyone's screen has an orange tint to it? I just got the phone (3 days), and when I put it next to my Captivate, the Captivate's screen is much more vivid and has no orange tint to it. Is this because of Zagg? It fits very well, by the way.
Well i have slcd i9023 version, and its colors are still like before. I agree that the texture is a bit getting used to but when you do it doesnt really bother you. And on the plus side the annoying fingerprints are greatly reduced.

I have SGP steinheil ultra oleophobic and fits perfect. No non-sticky parts, neither dust under the protector.
Previously i had a case mate protector and it caught all the dust of the surroundings down the protector in the corners

yeah, the texture doesn't bother me, as long as there's no air bubbles, which won't be the case because I'm hoping that it comes with the solution and squeegee instead of the static cling method

I'll have a look at this is the invisible shield goes horribly wrong! thanks!
Any easy screen protector and good quality please don't recommends xtremeguard protector... I'm so frustrated with the xtreme protector, bubble doesn't disappear after awhile><
Thanks everyone for any suggestion
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
with the xtremeguard, the rate at which the bubbles disappear depends on the ambient temperature. for me, i sped things up by leaving my nexus 7 off and then placing it on a heater set to medium. after a few hours, all the bubbles were gone. the only reason why i hated my xtremeguard was because all 5 of the screen protectors i bought had vertical scratches on the underside. im surprised their whole 'shield heal' thing doesnt apply to the underside.
at the moment, im just using ebay cheapies that i bought in bundles of 10. if you want a bit more durability from them, then only peel off the bottom layer (adhesive side) and leave the top layer on. that way if you do accidentally scratch it, you can remove the top layer and you'll still have another layer underneath.
Ive ordered a BodyGuards HD Anti-Glare screen protector. I should get it before the end of this week, so I will write a review on it.
i bought 5 and i threwed 3 in the bin, well, i might have to try again and put it in somewhere warm but not.hot than><

I just got my SGP Ultra Fine (matte + antifingerprint)...
and I ruined it.
The first try was awesome but slightly off where one of the corners was overlapping. I peeled it off and it never went on right again. Tons of dust and when I ran it under hot soapy water, like I always do, the back glue started rubbing off making it a goner.
I never had the glue come off of a screen protector. In fact I never knew they used glue. I always thought they just clung via static. The larger the screen the harder it is to apply. I'm bummed.

Do they make a screen protector for our Gnote 2 with only the speaker and home button cut out? Here is an example similar to what I am talking about.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180898901835?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I don't think they make any because the Note (and S3 I believe) have tapered glass on the sides, which means a protector would immediately lift on the edges.
normally they dont because occasionally, on non-perfect applications, its possible to get dust trapped underneath the screen protector where the front camera and ambient sensors/proximity sensors are, which can interfere with the way they work.

But I bought one for my epic 4g touch n sensor work flawlessly.
I bought this one. I just installed it today. It has the hole for the home button, speaker, and camera. The sensors are covered. I like it because it protects the whole screen. Its a wet application if that matters to you.

Xtremeguard I believe has a protector that only has cutouts like you're looking for. I briefly had it on my phone, so can't 100% remember. Keep in mind though that any protector that goes right to the edge of the screen is going to suck with the s pen.

Thanks for the reply but I check on ebay and xtremeguard has cut out just like others but it does cover more area. I'm looking for a full screen
cover with only speaker and home button cut out.
I got mine from ishield. The wet application scared me but my phone was fine. It's really for sgn2. There's even a plastic sheet for the back with the cam and Flash holes.
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
Can either of you do a thorough review here? Give us an Idea of how it feels and fits.

Hello people,
i am looking for a glass screenprotector with a colour (yellow?) But I cannot find any. All the items I see on ebay are either sold out or do not have the yellow colour
I would recommend staying away from the coloured glass protectors as they have not been given stellar reviews here on XDA. Most of the time it's the fact that the SPen doesn't work right or fitment, etc.
I think the company is called XGear.
XGear review link here
I can't find the site anymore but you can get them off ebay. There are a few distributors out of China that make what you're looking for but I would avoid them as I haven't read anything good about them.
I have one of those glass ones off of eBay, mine is black. I have a link in the screen protector reviews thread. Ive had it for a week and I have no issues with sensitivity or the s pen. However, the black around the edges is glittery, so its kind of a girly SP. Quality is there though.
One big deal though, the SP goes all the way to the edge. So your cases you may have may not work with it. I'm currently using a casemate tough case, but I can confirm both otter boxes, and the protective cover+ DO work with it. But your basic TPU cases will not.

s pen is generally not affected by screen protectors. bring your s pen close to the screen, press down on the nib and move it around and you can draw without the s pen even touching the screen.
+1 for the 'Bulletproof" (Glasszone) SP
I've had two of these protects for two seperate phones and they are outstanding. I'm not sure where everyone is getting this speculation that glass screen protectors (particular the ones with colour outside the screen) affect the spen or touch sensitivity. It works PERFECTLY FINE. And it is the best likeness you will get to your bare naked screen. I will never go back to a none-glass screen protector. I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-BULLETPR...var&hash=item3cccacdff8&_uhb=1#ht_12820wt_958
Which is essentially the same as this one that was posted earlier except different pricing/seller:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Galaxy-Note-...ar&hash=item23268cf7c6&_uhb=1#ht_10679wt_1163
Go for it, you won't regret it. Just a heads up though the screen protector does go all the way to the edge of your screen, but I haven't had any problems with my Incipio Dual Pro Shine case or my Seido Active. Also, your home button will be recessed since the glass is thicker, but you can easily buy a home button sticker on ebay (which IMO makes your phone look so much more bada**). I've yet to receive my Urban Armour Case so I can't say if it will fit on that. I'm sure it will though.

This I know, I just remember reading a few posts on the forums where people were having issues with some of the first Glass SP's. I'm using the MimeUSA one right now and came from a JLG that died recently. the XGEAR GSP or one of the other ones had some issues like fitment and general SPen problems. I'm sure they are fixed now though. Didn't want another user here to get steered towards a sub par product.
This is the protector I have.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/28103026339...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Best protector I've ever had on a phone. Solid black color with no glitter. Adhesive on the entire protector. Covers entire glass. I have a white note 2 but you can't tell at all.
Anybody know of a seller that has red colored ones in stock? (Reputable seller, of course.) That would make my Note 2 perfect!

Well, the one I got from MIME does not totally cover the screen either, but this one is 1/2 price. In addition, I don't like color edges because I want it 100% clear.
I got one from x gear a few days ago. I think it was called voyager 2. its white. Works great.

The reason why MIME one doesn't cover the whole screen is because they counted in that you will be using a body cover. So they wanted to make sure this wasn't a issue.

It's worse than what you said. It's like "lifting" because the edges (including home button) do not totally stick on the screen and leave air space around the screen protector.
I don't know whether mine is defective or something.

I have a friend who has the mime and he has issues with the defender case peeling up the sides. If its an adhesion problem, let them know. I'd think if you can show them pictures that they'll send you out a new one. Most of the "non zagg" companies try to provide the best customer service possible.
On another note, does the voyager 2 have glitter on the black? I'm seriously considering buying it because I'm tired of the glitter on my eBay one

I would say the type of adhesive MIME uses on the glass could a little more sticker. But then of course that could probably cause some issues. Also I noticed on some areas that the glue doesn't quite go to the edge of the glass.

So I just got the Zagg screen protector yesterday from best buy. looks really good and fits really well with the defender Otterbox case. one thing i noticed later on when watching videos is where the screen curves near the edge there is a line that runs down the side right in the middle if the curve on both sides. Not a super big problem but once i noticed it, kinda is annoying. when doing everyday things you wont see it but when in landscape and the screen is a bright color it will stand out. Anyone else have this screen protector and can verify if theirs has the same problem? ill try and get a picture when i can get hold of another phone.
Can you at least post a picture? This is too long to read.

I contacted zagg and they said it's adhesive on the curved part on the screen and that's what's making that line. As I said in my post when I can I will post a picture.
I think all curved protectors have that line on the very edges. Its the adhesive ( since no glass protectors are full adhesive coverage ). My Zizo Bolt screen protector does the same. Still looks/ feels great even with the faint line and I wouldn't dare run without a protector lol
And it's hard to post a pic because the line is so faint.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Ya not a big deal. Just thought the line was odd. So far loving everything about this phone.
And that's why they usually paint the edges black.
On another note it maybe more prevalent on the zaggs because they use a stronger adhesive and it's slightly thicker
Well what is nice is that there is no Halo effect on the screen protector like there was on the note 5. That was terrible and collected so much crap in it.
Yup no halo. I'm not using the zagg but I'm sure the zizo tgsp is of equal quality. Thank god they didn't do black edges!

How do you like your Zizo Bolt case, the screen protector and the holster so far?
I am considering ordering it, but not sure about the glass. Is the adhesive on all 4 sides or just the top and bottom?

The adhesive is on all 4 sides. The way they designed it to cut around the earpiece and cameras, it's completely sealed against dirt which is awesome. I've used the bolt case on a few phones and love them. They hold up well against drops.

I got the zagg glass for my note 8 I guess it will work but wish there was a better option, screen just doesn't look as good as other glass screen protectors. I think I would even be happier with one that just ended before the curve and be really thin ... I wish i looked at the forums a bit more for the price the whitestone is looking like a better option the more i look at the phone , such a great looking screen before the zagg got put on, the full glued on ones look so much better with not fuzzy lines on each side. I wonder if i got the LOCA glue and used with the zagg would make it look better then it does now. ugh hate wasting money .... dam you Samsung and your curved edges lol
I'm really liking the Zagg Glass Curve. Extremely easy install; Case friendly; No screen sensitivity issues at all. Looks great!
The Zagg Curve has been improved immensely over what they provided for the S*+. Thicker, nor more loose edges with dust getting under the screen. I have just one complaint.
The dot matrix drives me nuts outdoors, when the phone is off and if the screen isn't up bright enough to make it disappear.
yeah ive used it for two days outside so far and the dot matrix is driving me nuts , also the little gap makes a huge glare and takes away from clarity when out side

Whitestone dome glass is better, it's a pain in the rear to install but it offers full adhesive layer instead of just the top and sides without the dot matrix of the zagg.
