Screen protector or no?

Looking for advice on screen protector vs. no screen protector for my shiny new Moto X that just arrived. I can't seem to find one locally so I'll have to order something online if I need it (tried local AT&T, Best Buy, and Office Max because I was walking by it). I used to run a Ghost Armor protector on my old Galaxy Nexus but took it off for the last 4-5 months or so before I moved to a Lumia 1020. The GNex with Samsung's version of Gorilla Glass 2 had no scratches on it. So I figured I'd not run one on the Lumia which had GG 3 (same as the Moto X).
However my Lumia has two nice strips of rubbed in scratches across the top & bottom parts of the screen about 1/2 an inch in from the edge that I noticed after a few months and they have just gotten worse in the last year. I'm paranoid the same thing is going to happen to the Moto since it's also GG 3. The phone always goes in a pants pocket with a plastic eye drop bottle but never keys.

I live recklessly. No screen protector or case. I was in a position where someone was telling me to get one, but I like the feeling of the glass on the curving at the edges. A screen protector would disrupt the flow. I take really good care of my phones anyway. My HTC One M7 I had before for over a year didn't have anything and it only has one thin scratch from my girlfriend's diamond earrings. Which by the way, pro tip: warn people with diamond earrings to mind your phone if you let someone use it.
Personal preference, but I like the phone how it is. I don't buy a good looking phone to put a case on it.

I usually think that screen protectors, and cases are like insults to the designers who made this delightful piece of machinery... so no screen for me, and no cases, naked Moto X for me.. as always!

Do you guys put your phones in your pockets or? I thought I took good care of my phones until the glass on my Lumia.

There's always going to be those guys that don't use screen protectors, and the ones that do. I'm one that does. I've had my X exactly 1 week without a protector, but am expecting it in the mail tomorrow. No scratches at this point, and I prefer to keep it that way with a little more solid protection than just the type of glass it is. I always order Japanese pet film from amazon, much cheaper than in store, and is a hard material so screen still feels natural.

I usually don't use screen protectors or cases, but I have found that I am incredibly clumsy with this phone so far and have managed to dent the edges of the phone and scratch the screen a bit. So now I use a naked tough case and a cheap matte screen protector. I was a bit hesitant on the matte protector but thankfully I like it very much. I even like the papery feel to it.

No screen protector here. I switch between 3 phones daily and none of them have screen protectors. Aside from the fact that glass is pretty hard to scratch, I just like the feel of the bare glass and see no point in protecting a screen that you're never going to touch (if you use a protector). Just take care of it and you'll be fine. I do use cases on two of my phones, but the Moto X (which is my primary phone) stays naked 98% of the time.

All of my previous phones had a screen protector installed immediately, my Moto X hasn't had one since I got it.
I planned on getting one but the mall kiosk that used to be ghost armor, then another brand isn't there any longer. I cannot do them myself because of my OCD, I always ruin it somehow, believe me I have tried.
I have a very slim case on the X but I am tempted to not use that as well and go completely naked, would be the first time I have ever done that.

I'll always use a screen protector, even though I'm very careful with the devices. To me, since I already take very good care of the device - I'm extra picky on getting a screen protector that is very thin and clear. The device has curved glass towards the edges, so don't expect that to be covered unless you get one of those heat-application full coverage protectors.
This is the one I ended up going with... after 2 months or so, it's still fantastic. If you are familiar with the old Reallook protectors, this one's identical to that. Static application, plain and simple, thin with no orange peel.

Thanks for the tip. Those are cheap, I'll grab a pack of them to get by for now and give me some time to figure out if there are better ones. The whole tempered glass thing has me intrigued but a quick search showed they seem to want to hit those curved edges which causes them to not work well either.

Yeah I was really thinking about the tempered glass also, but I was worried about thickness and feel (as it wouldn't cover the edges either) - and eventually decided against it.

With today's technology, the phones don't need screen protector at all, but if you insist on running a screen protector, I'd suggest tempered screen protector as the ordinary ones are even not protective enough than the screen itself. One thing you should also consider is, running a tempered screen protector will make the touch reponse insensitive according to my personal experience.

Well, I thought I didn't need one on the phone I had before the Moto X, a Lumia 1020 that is also supposed to use Gorilla Glass 3. I think I mentioned already I have a Galaxy Nexus with Samsung's version of GG2 that had no screen protector for the last 4 months or so that I used it daily before getting the Lumia and it had no problems with scratches. The Lumia however in the same time started getting what you see in the attached picture. That picture is today after owning for a year and doing nothing differently than the Gnexus. The only other thing ever in the same pocket is a plastic eye drop bottle. In some ways it looks almost like a coating was rubbed off, but there are some good solid scratches in it as well that are not just some coating. So that's why I was paranoid about the Moto X.

I found a 3 pack of tempered glass screen protectors for $9 USD on Amazon (with free Prime shipping!) so I caved and ordered them. It was such an amazing deal that I figured if I didn't like them it wasn't a big loss (not like $30+ name brand ones anyway). I must say, I'm pretty impressed. My only complaint is that they don't cover all the glass, but they really can't because of the curved edges on the X. It was super easy to install, and I got it on PERFECTLY with zero imperfections like dust, etc. It doesn't affect screen sensitivity at all, and since it's glass it still feels great. I'm surprising myself here, but I definitely recommend them, especially for people like me that generally hate screen protectors. For $9 for 3 of them you really can't go wrong.

Can you post a pic of what it looks like? (or a link to the post if I missed it somewhere) I'm curious how "not covered" the screen is since the only place I noticeably see a curve is right at the edge where it meets the bezel.

Here ya go. I think the screen starts sloping a little bit before it hits the obviously rounded edges. I read reviews for a bunch of different glass screen protectors and they were all either a little too small like mine, or the right size but the edges don't stick right because of the sloped glass. I bought one from a different manufacturer for my iPhone 6 as well and it has the same issue. The screen protector I have for it is just as small as the one for the Moto X because it too has rounded edges. It was annoying at first (on both phones) but I've gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me any more. I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep using them though, as I still prefer a bare screen.

Ah ok. Thanks for the pic, that looks like the same coverage as the Mr. Shield PET protectors I just bought. So I think I could live with that. Yeah I'd rather go without anything, but after my experience with that Lumia and GG3 I'm just paranoid. I've never had any other phone do that, and I would expect a screen protector to look just as bad after a few months if not worse so that makes it really confusing to me that it happened.

Best screen protector for the s6 edge

I've got the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and while it is beautifully made of corning gorilla glass 4, I couldn't afford to just leave it naked, especially that it's valued at $700+. I've got four screen protectors on my list that qualifies for the S6 Edge.

My first choice was Skinomi but at that time, it run out of stock so I've looked for another brand and choose IQ Shield Liquid Skin protectors for my device. If you asked me why I didn't choose SuperShields eventhough it was relatively super cheap, $1.99 , it's because their reviews are not satisfactory and Armorsuit was too expensive.
Oh well, IQ Shield Liquid Skin protectors on Amazon claims to be "smooth to touch, anti-scratch, no bubbles, edge to edge coverage, clarity and ultra responsive". Did it live up to their advertisement? I cannot say it was 100% but it was close to perfect. It was ended smooth to touch, edge to edge coverage and ultra responsive. There were bubbles and it was not clear right after installation but it says on the box that it should dissipate after the film settles onto the device, 3-4 days or so and it did. The anti-scratch is yet to be tested. But so far, all is well. I have no complaint.
Word of caution,it's wet install but I can vouched that it's harmless. Just be sure to follow the instructions and no, you don't need to wait for 48 hours so you can use your device. I did it at night before going to sleep and the next day, I was able to use it. Bonus, they offer lifetime warranty.

I tried the supershield. It did fit edge to edge, however it did not stick to the edges well. I found myself having to push the edges down every time I picked the phone up. It was very annoying. Finally, I just took it off. I'm now waiting for the skinomi skin I ordered. I've used skinomi before several years ago but it was a design and not clear. I'll update once I try it out.

How easy is it to install? Usually you use the corners as visual cues for alignment, and I feel it's gotta take at least a little longer to install the damn thing on the phone, haha. Really, though, wish phones just came with these things installed. I'm pretty good at installing things now, but every time I do it, I get a ridiculous amount of stress.

super easy; I used to sensors on top to get the alignment, and once that was in place it was simple to just lay it down, move it around slightly, and push the bubbles and water out from the center to the edges. Once that was in place, I waited a minute or two, the went over it again, pushing out all the bubbles and moisture, and then used a credit card wrapped in the included cloth to push down the edges, and boom, entire job took less than 5 minutes.
There is a video on their site showing you how to do it, but it was super easy. Once its on nice and flat, leave the phone alone for a couple of hours, and, you should be fine. I waiting until the next morning to put the case on, just to make sure not to push the edges up, and its fine now!

The IQ Shield was on sale yesterday. Not sure if it still is. http://slickdeals.net/f/7784145-iq-...ipped-full-body-1-99-shipped-amazon-deals?v=1

Probably the first phone im not even going to bother with a screen protector. The gorilla glass is just that good on its own lol. See how i go, hopefully I won't regret it

I had one of the invisible shield ones installed at best buy today. Fits perfectly and they did a good job with it. Prefer the glass ones, but this looks good. Wish they'd had a back version.

Guys, I tried Skinomi and it looked ugly, I guess the liquid installation ones are sorta rubbery and take the beauty and ease of use away. I will use mine naked with low profile case. Also, if anyone is interested in Skinomi from amazon.com, here are some promos, it makes it under a dollar shipped for screen protector only!! Hit thanks if you like.

Don't bother with the Healing Shield Matt. Yes it covers the whole screen but nightmare to apply and impacts the quality of the screen too much. Makes the screen too fuzzy http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/251899776472?nav=SEARCH

Any personal suggestion about these 2 screen protectors? Spigen vs Skinomi?

I'm considering whether or not to keep my S6 Edge as the glare on the corners on the sides is bothersome when watching videos. Do any of the screen protectors mentioned in this thread help cut down on glare? (I was thinking the Skinomi Matte Skin based on the reviews)

I'm convinced that the Edge feels like a more engaging device without a screen protector getting in the way

the Skinomi fits really well, and doesn't get in the way of anything, and gives you a little piece of mind, in case you drop it on a rock face down..

Between these two, I'll go for Skinomi. Like I've said earlier, Skinomi was my first choice but they run out of stock. Now that I have IQshield LiquidSkin screen protector, I'll settle for this and see how long it will lasts. So far it's doing good. Btw, Skinomi really have great fitment, great reviews.. Try it and see for yourself

Hey guys check out Verizon. They carry a dry version of Zagg that does not use a liquid spray. It comes with front and back and covers edges as well. I picked it up at my local corporate verizon store. I tried it out as I couldn't seem to find a dry install anywhere online and personally don't like the protectors that use liquid sprays. I personally like it and think it looks great. It takes a day or two to finally set in. After the second day mine self healed all the bubbles and looks perfect now.

A curved design non tempered glass though. But not sticky enough on sides to keep screen protector in place on one side so have ordered a replacement http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/olixar-f...xy-s6-edge-curved-screen-protector-p52772.htm

Spigen Neo Hybrid Gunmetal Bumper Style Premium Case

I copied the description from Amazon into the title of this thread and I intentionally left out 'slim fit' because this case is not that. I just bought the case at the following link and I've had it on my phone for all of a few hours. It looks great and I've always liked Spigen. But I noticed that it was pushing up the top corner of my tempered glass screen protector so I wanted to remove it to make sure the protector was not going to crack or come off.

That's when the fun started. Removing this case is insanely difficult. While doing so it actually popped off the back cover which stayed in the case. I thought I broke my phone with the force I had to apply. This case also adds significant weight to the phone. I'm sure it is great at protecting it but I also need to be able to remove it every once in awhile.
I am in need of a slim lightweight case that doesn't make me feel I will break my phone by removing it. I will continue to check out other reviews on XDA but I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of the case they are using. Also, it would be awesome if the case that is suggested works well with Qi wireless charging. I haven't invested in that yet but I would like to. Thanks all!

IMHO None of the Spigen cases I got for my Nexus 6 were "slim".
I've got a OtterBox symmetry case that is really lightweight, but it's not "slim".
For "slim" I just went and got several of the ones on eBay described as "ultra thin" TPU. They don't offer much as in drop protection, it's more for grip, bump and scratch protection.
These are the ones I like the most so far http://www.ebay.com/itm/391137523772 ( I always get one of these and are my favorite on every phone they make one for) and http://www.ebay.com/itm/181726434936 (this is one of the only ones that actually hold on to the phone tightly without being impossible to put on or take off)

I picked this one up. Its thin and light. Have used this particular case for the last 3 years on different phones and never had an issue.

I ended up placing an order for this one last night.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UZK6NN8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I'll know tomorrow if it works as expected.

I have that Spigen case and I really like it. I have always used bigger cases, so this one is slim to me! Or, it did, before I read this post. I'm curious as to what a true slim case looks like now. As for the Spigen. It was tough to get off the first two or three times. Now, I just pull from the top (or bottom - just use the short side) and that seems to work. The whole thing comes off easily. I'm kind of a klutz, so I need drop protection. I ordered a case before I had the phone and there weren't nearly as many choices as there are now (or I didn't see them). It'll be looking forward to your thoughts on your case. I hope it works for you!

Do you drop your phone though? I like the look and might get it as a backup case. I just need something that will protect the screen and the phone against impacts. In other words, something that'll protect against more than just scratches. :fingers-crossed:

I've dropped it maybe 3 times today if that says anything... I've thrown it accidentally halfway across the room onto tile.. still fine.
Never had an issue, as long as you don't drop it screen down on a rock that is..
my m8 was in mint condition cosmetically when I sold it, had this case on it for a year. (camera died due to having a magnet constantly near it - don't get one of those magnetic mounts for your car.. learn from my mistake)
Even got that case for my girlfriend's S6 - She beats on phones and hasn't had an issue so far.
It has a decent lip around the screen, and its hard tpu.. not that rubbery junk that bends just by looking at it..

Sold! Thanks for the feedback. It's exactly what I needed to hear. Going to pick up a green one. And I guess some new tempered glass. Unless it can be reused...?

As far as I know you can't reuse them. It looks sharp in green. I've only used the tempered glass on an old galaxy s3, I thought this had Gorilla Glass

I think it does. I use tempered glass anyway. I have read tons of accounts (Okay, maybe two or three), where people dropped the phones and shattered their screens only to remember they had tempered glass on it. Peel off the shattered tempered glass and underneath they had their original unblemished screen. Plus, probably 3/4's of people I know have a shattered screen. 100% of them didn't use screen protectors and those that had a case had one of the cheap cases that don't protect anything. But I'm kind of a worrywart so..... better safe than sorry!

Agreed, if ya need it.. Ya need it I've just seen some posts about the screen being not as responsive with the tempered glass protectors for the g4.
Let me know which one you get and how it does.

Yeah, I've seen those. But people complained about the general unresponsiveness with or without it Mine has been fine. I'd probably go with a different brand ad the cheapie I have can sometimes drag during swype, causing me to input the wrong words. I had a general/off brand one.

I received the Poetic Affinity case last Friday and it is better, and easier to remove, than the Spigen I have previously tried. The case is not a flimsy TPU and it could probably hold up to a decent drop although my need was for being able to grip the phone without feeling like it would slide out of my hand. With the case on the phone it is secure and not loose. Definitely more what I was looking for. Also, it does not bother the screen protector although the most likely reason that happened was because the glass protectors fit the screen completely so there is little room for anything else unless the case fits on top of the edge.
Overall, I am definitely happy with this Poetic case.

Hello,
how intense is the look of the green. Is it like shown in the product pictures, or more soft/washed out?
Thanks

Got Neo Hybrid, and paint is getting off from plastic frame (gunmetal painted), now have two white dots, first arrived after one week (don't know when)...
Maybe I should paint it my self

It was nowhere near as vibrant as the picture. I am used to it though. I don't even remember what the original green was supposed to look like. I love the case though. I don't even wear the Spigen anymore. It certainly is lighter in weight, that's for sure.

I just don't understand why the screen protector is just as much as the case...

Had one of these for my N6P and it was awful tbh the sides were so loose my phone got dings there with the case on...no idea how it even happened.
And the Screen Protector is too expensive swell

Thanks for that info. I'm still kind of interested in trying it out, but now I'm kinda skeptical.

Honestly i'm using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case atm and I really like it but it's a little annoying if you're using an all over tempered glass like the Orzly one.

it's just too expensive for what it is tbh and if the sides are loose then i'd be afraid of getting marks again....even though it's somehow already happened with the official OP cases on....those things really don't protect the phone either but I should have known that.

I also have a 6P with a RhinoShield. It does have a little bit of play on the sides, but only if you push/pull on it and it will certainly not come off your 6P unless you really want to remove it... Manually, with force.
RhinoShield is one of the highest quality cases out there. Too many people complain about it simply because it's more of a rugged type case/bumper than a slim profile fit. It's not going to be the most ergonomic, but it's still a great case that's worth the money & the protection. $18 is hardly expensive for a case. Will last a lot longer and offer way more protection from drops than a cheap $8 TPU.
I took a photo of my 6P w/ RhinoShield just the other day..

Which material is the Rhinoshield bumper made of? Metal or rubber or plastic? Is it compatibility with glass protectors? Thanks.

Thanks for that detailed info.
Quick question. So is it necessary to have great rear protection without the Caseguard Screen protector on the rear of your Nexus 6p? Looks great by the way, thanks for the photo. @Andromjb

Hmm....

I had one on my 6P with a dbrand skin on the back. This got rid of any rough edges from the skin. I gave it to my Mom when I got this phone. She drops her phone literally all the time. It's saved it so many times. I actually really liked it an recommend it for anyone looking for a bumper. It always fit great and I just looked at it now to take a picture and it's still holding up great and fits well.

Ordered this the other day. Excited to receive it. It's a bit more expensive than I would normally spend on a case but hopefully it's awesome
sent via op3 and xda-app

has anyone received their rhinoshield bumper yet?

Screen guard is totally worthless..

Also pre-ordered this and I'm excited!
Did you also get this email?
Also, to the Nexus 6P x CrashGuard users: Does it work together with a tempered glass screen protector?

I've also ordered it, thx for the discount code.
I think I will also use a dbrand or slickwraps skin on the back with the Rhinoshield.

Buy a thin smartphone and put a bumper seem to me a sacrilege, it's like going to the beach dressed as firefighter, helmet and oxygen tank included. In such case is more safer and cheap wrap it in a shower towel.

Still haven't received my order yet. The company is even sending me a white bumper & protector free to review. Yet to receive those either.
They were supose to ship in late August but they updated the site which now states, "Pre-Order, Shipping 1st Half of September".

Yep, nothing. They postponed it to mid September

They said on Twitter that they willl ship this week.

I just got my shipment confirmation via Email!!

case friendly screen protectors for note 8

hey guys
like many here i pre ordered the note 8. i also have a UAG Monarch case pre ordered.
since this is my first phone with a edge screen i noticed that it will be kinda hard to find a good screen protector. for 2 days im looking through amazon to find something but for now it seems impossible to find something decent.
glass screen protectors seem to be really bad on edge phones so i really don't want or need one of those. also because i only get a screen protector for minor scratches and not for other reasons like a shattered screen.
also there are so many cheap asia products which seem to be from the same factory but just rebranded with different names. the protectors, the packaging, everything looks the same except the name on it. mostly them, but also many others got so many fake reviews that i will not buy them ever, even if they were really good, which i doubt.
for example stuff from those companys: supcase, profer, cubevit, g-color, danibos, klearlook, moko, yootech and so on. all fake and crap.
i also looked for a s8+ screen protector just so i can see which brand is good and which one i should get for the note 8 but there isn't even something good for the s8+. WTF!!! even the one from spigen seems to be crap.
so can any one in here recommend me a simple nice tpu screen protector with edge sides covered which will also be case friendly???
i had a s4 before and i took of my screen protector 6 months ago. since then i got many minor scratches even tho i got nothing then my phone in my pockets. so i don't want this to happen with my new phone.
please guys im getting crazy here. only 10 more days to find something. thanks!!!

ok i think i will try this one and hope it will be good.
maybe someone else in here tried this brand already on s8/s8+ and can tell me something about it?
thanks!!

I'm not a big fan of plastic protectors - in terms to protecting against scratches they are better than nothing, but generally suffer from poor oleophobic properties, don't feel as "slick" as glass, and sometimes mark up when using the S-Pen.

+1 glass is much better way to go!

i gave in and had best buy put on an invisibleshield hd on my note 8.. I am pleasantly surprised by the nice feel and so far no spen issues with marking..its case friendly and im glad i had them apply it.. (also price matched for $19.99 from zagg) i went through 2 different tempered glass ones off amazon ..Honestly i think im going to keep this one on for the duration.. it fits perfect and since its case friendly theres no lifting up at the edges.

Bought a tempered glass sp for my note, fits perfect even with the Samsung view case

I don't care if it's edge adhesion, I'm just looking for one that won't let water or dust in. Any ideas aside from whitestone?
Maybe it's too early. Have wait for manufacturers to catch up.

better don't wait. edge phones are here for a long time and it was always the same. nothing gonna change as long as there are no cheap whitestone copys on the market

The one that came with my case is good. No issues with sensitivity and it's clear. Works well and fits perfectly inside the case.

Check out the current thread on whitestone. There's no way I'd pay $50 for one protector. I bought three for a fraction of the price of one of theirs and am totally satisfied with the one I'm using now.

There obviously could be a huge variation in the quality of the sticky-edged/dot-matrix type protectors, but it's difficult to imagine any coming close to the performance of the Whitestone with regard to sensitivity, clarity, fit and feel.
The Whitestone isn't cheap, but it is very good.

Yeah I get that. Using the one that I linked, I honestly can't justify paying the price for whitestone. It can't be 5 times better but costing nearly 5 times more.... It needs to be.

Well, the Whitestone is 100 times better than the p.o.s. protector I put on to start off with.

Lol yeah I hear ya. The first one I used was absolutely a p o s.
I'm really happy with this $15 one though

How is about this Ghostek case? How is the sensitivity? Anyone every try this before?

This works well for me.

Note 8 screen protector/cases
I have the Note 8 with a Zagg HD Clear Invisible Shield (not the glass one) and a Otterbox Defender case. Not happy with either. The Defender case pushes on the edges of the screen protector and it peels up. Not too happy with the Otterbox Defender holster. It's flimsy and doesn't hold on to the case very well. I have problems with my phone being popped or pulled out of the holster of something rubs or catches on it. It comes out pretty easy. It's not held in the holster very well at all. Anyway, I just purchased a Whitestone. I hear they're the best glass protectors. As far as compatible cases, I know there are some YouTube videos that people test screen protectors with various cases.
