So I know Zagg is a really nice screen protector. But, a buddy of mine got it and itdoesn't fit the screen perfectly since it was designed off of the original Bionic specs and not on the updated ones.
Therefore, are there other screen protectors that are just as reliable and fitted for the Bionic?

seriously? i already ordered one and im going to be mad if it doesnt fit right!!
They are already sending out the new redesign to retailers, I used the old one just fine. They sent me a replacement after I called them and told them about the screw up. It should be here early in the week.

So I bought one today. It fits fine. Don't know if Best Buy received the updated protectors, but it looks like the reason it doesn't fill the screen is because of the slight bevel around the edge. I wasn't fully aware of the bevel until I looked close. I was too busy playing with all the features. LOL
I got a Zagg from best buy as well, and the image on the box looks like the old Bionic design, not the current one. It fits okay, leaving room for the light sensors and camera and such, and goes close enough to the edges of the screen for me. If they come out with a new design I'll just get Zagg to fulfill me a new screen.
Mine should be here early next week too

Guys, you really don't need screen-protectors. The Bionic has the same Gorilla Glass as the OG that many of use abused for almost 2 years without issues.
Watch any number of youtube videos about it. This is the one that convinced me that screen-protectors are a scam:

The selling of millions of something isn't evidence that something is necessary (i.e. not a scam) *cough*monstercables*cough*
But you're completely right - for many/most phones it probably makes sense; just not Bionic.
I ordered an XO Skins screen protector for my Bionic and it should come in this week. I have one on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and was very impressed with it. Heres my review for my SGT version if anyone is interested.

Gorilla glass isn't invincible. It's more about not shattering than it is about protecting scratches. I don't know about you, but getting a scratch on the screen is one of the worst things that can happen to one of my phones. It's like my eyes are drawn to the scratch.
Gorilla glass can definitely get scratched, but its hard to shatter like traditional screens.
Check out this "realistic scratch test" done on Gorilla glass. The phone drops and slides on the pavement which has definitely happened to me before. Even with gorilla glass, that screen gets messed up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EimSyAIuDoI
I used to think the same thing, that gorilla glass was invincible. Then, I scratched the eff out of my screen without a protector and vowed that I would never sacrifice a 600 dollar phone to save 15 bucks.
So, a 15 dollar screen protector is worth protecting a 600 device.
So many people think Gorilla glass is invincible, but its really not. It can be scratched quite easily. It might not break if you drop it, but it will definitely get scratched and I can't stand scratched screens!
Sand will scratch Gorilla Glass for sure. I had my OG for 2 years almost, and never got a major scratch, but when my Bionic came I went ahead and installed the screen protector that came with my Otterbox Commuter. I agree when you spend this much on a phone why chance it over 15 bucks or so.

The screen protector that comes with the shell / holster sucks big time.
What are the best options for screen protectors right now? Has anyone tried the spigen ultra crystal for the g2, i have had good experiences with them in the past. I know that with my galaxy nexus the glass was curved so much that a normal screen protector couldn't fit across the entire screen and the wet apply screen protectors were a mess and looked horrible. Does the g2 have the same problem?
I was wondering the same thing. Anyone bought a screen protector they're happy with? Not a big fan of the wet application type
I used one of the wet application ones from Phantom Skinz (sp?) on my Nexus. It worked so well that I plan on ordering one for the G2.
I actually got the ones from T-Mobile and was quite surprised on how much I like them! They are a dry application, very easy to install, not sticky at all (feel very much like the natural surface before the screen protector), and what I like most...very, very clear and fingerprint and smudge resistant. The only downside is they are a little bit more than I usually spend on screen protectors, $17 for 2.

Wow that seems like a good sign, the best screen protector is one that you can't tell is on the phone. I'm curious, how much of the screen does it cover and do you have any pictures of it installed that you could share?
I got the only one that AT&T stocked. It's a glossy as opposed to an anti glare but the fit and finish is spot on and I can't even tell it's there. Very pleased.
/except for the glossy part
I picked up a few screen protectors from xtreemguard .com. pretty much the same thing as best skins ever. Used code fall80 for 80 percent off. Order was 3 bucks for shipping and two screen. Shipping was fast. Not amazing but definitely the best under $10.
I'm currently rocking the XOSkins wet application screen protector and like it so far.

I have the iloome flex tempered glass screen protector on order so I picked up the Supershieldz off ebay (6 for $5 shipped) as a hold over. They're dry application, fit well, and have decent clarity. Probably not terribly different from most plastic films, but man it hazes up from fingerprints like nothing else. I cleaned it off today with rubbing alcohol and it has already picked up some mild scratches. Guess you cant expect too much for less than a buck per screen protector.

I use the Spigen Ultra Crystal. My third phone whith them. Would not use any other. It actually seems just a tad small but I guess that leaves room for a case. It leaves about an 1/8 of an inch around the sides.
I use to pay the big money for ZAGG. When I bought my G2 (9/12) there wasn't anyone that had screen protectors, so I bought the 3 pack from VZW. I still have the first one on, and no issues. Paid like 10 bucks. It works fine for me.

I bought the overpriced crap from Verizon and they just peeled up with the gel case I bought from them too. Ordered the 80% off xtreme skins or whatever they're called and they're great. Fit nicely under the case. Only gripe I have is the screen isn't as slick as the ones from Verizon or the actual screen.
Well this time I just tried a bit different.... its not Zagg one...its not Spigen..but this time I tried Privacy at Fommy.....
heard a lot about it from one of my friend and after wearing it on my G2.. I can say that the thing it says..it delivers..now I can easily check out my official mails at crowded place and am not worried about the guys standing around me as its not visible to them..that is something I really like about it and moreover it is very finely gripped on the phone and does not even give the feel as If I have placed something on the screen.....I know its quite new one but I am liking this product...

Thinking about going naked. Haven't found a case that keeps it slim. All cases I've tried add too much bulk.
Mine fell out of my shirt pocket on Christmas day and cracked the screen. It was $125 for a new one overnighted from CA. I had ordered a case but it hadn't arrived yet. The screen didn't come with the middle housing so you can see where it hit the ground on the plastic. I'll worry about that when its time to get rid of the phone.

I'm keeping screen naked. Definitely not case. Rather have a tiny bulk than 3 foot drop shatter/crack. Slim/feather doesn't even protect much. I wound up sticking with Verizon TPU/OG Incepio. Better for me my phone travels through some rough times, personal and work lol.
No way, if i didnt had a case mine would be dead right now. It felt From my ear/shoulder position when i was talking and opening my car.

Mine broke completly after falling from about 30 cm, I'm buing case for sure
This phone is too slippery without a case I'm not taking any chances with it. I have the Spigen Slim armor case with Zagg HD screen protector and it looks beautiful and feels great. I ran my G Pro naked but at least that phone was easier to grip since it was larger. To those running no screen protection good luck. It's only a matter of time before it's scratched and scuffed and ugly. The glass screen protector on my G Pro was scratched to hell after just a few weeks in my pocket and I don't stuff anything in the same pocket as my phone except for maybe paper cash or receipts. I babied that phone. My keys never shared the same pocket. I've never seen any screen stand up to regular use after a while without any sort of protection.
I'm using an xtremeguard skin and screen protector. That helps with the slippery back. Not that helpful with actual impacts, but fine for scratches and things.
Side note: use code: 90off2 for 90% off 2 or more items right now (unknown expiration). Two sets of L2 G2 skins and screen protectors comes out to $2.20 after shipping right now.
One month in naked screen. I try and be careful. Not saying it won't happen, but so far so good. I have yet to find olive I like and won't lift with TPU or bubble at edge. :/
I ordered a wallet case for my G2, but have been rocking he naked look for a month now. No complaints here, but there are moments when I need a case (at the club)

Screen seems very weak on this phone already scratched 2 of them. On my third already. No idea how first happened, had the window case on and got one dead center of the screen. Next one was from just flipping the phone over to snooze alarm on my nightstand. Keep trying screen protectors but hate the feel of them and like how this phone feels naked. Prolly gonna have to force myself to keep a screen protector on at least this time and prolly the case.

Using a Fosmon I got off ebay for 3.95. I hated the way this phone felt without a case.
I'm using the Nillkin Dolextech, and while it does not add much bulk, it will protect it from scratches and dents if it lands on a corner or back.
It also has a Nexus 5'ish feel, with a pattern on the back for better grip. It also comes with a screen protector, which while not being the best quality, is fine for protection against scratches.

I bought my Nexus in march I thought i would love it. I tried it for two weeks and I hated it. I hated the build quality the way android works, it changed a lot since my eve days. So i gave it to my brother and took back my Z10. Eventually i got it back. like 4 weeks ago. And i gave back the Z10 then my friend wanted to buy a SGS5 so I told him to try out the nexus for two weeks see how he likes android now. He had the SGS2 and went iPhone. He returned it two weeks ago and cumulatively I've only ever had my nexus for four weeks. Ive started liking it.
I never bought it a case nor a screen protector. I thought i was going to sell it. Heck i couldn't return it because of some bulshevic that T-Mobile did.
My Nexus has been naked since March. It has been through three people and this is what it looks like.
One thing that Ive really disliked since i bought the device was how squeaky it is. Especially when slight pressure is applied to the camera corner. It bothers me to OCD levels

I've bought a case and a glass screen protector from spigen a couple weeks after I purchased the n5. I seldom use the case and only got around to putting the screen protector on a month ago. The case usually just gets in the way, as I use a otg flash drive and it won't fit with the case. I prefer the size of the n5 without the case as well.

Ebay has this Sandstone Case for the nexus 5. (There's a thread about it somewhere) It's very slim and most likely will not protect it if you drop it but it is very very thin and mimimalistic if you still have a case for your phone.
I currently have a black and white version of those cases. And running a matte screen protector. I might end up changing the matte to a regular protector. I'm too afraid to run it with no screen protector due to the ability to scratch it. I had a HTC One S before and saw a tiny scratch and it bothered me the whole time I had it.
I've had mine since December and not a single scratch on it. I did however use the phone with a case half the time with a glass screen protector, the plastic ones just feel cheap and grippy on the fingers. Looking at the condition of the N5 next to my iPhone 5 and S4 makes me appreciate it even more.

I've been very interested in a Nexus 5 32GB or Moto X 2nd Gen 32GB.
My first choice is the Nexus 5 32GB but it seems quite difficult to locate a US GSM version in new condition and within a reasonable price range.
While reviewing the Moto X 2 there is an alarming of reviews stating that the screen crackers very easily.
I would like to know what others have experienced while dropping their phone.
Did your screen crack? Did you have a case or screen protector?
Just get a thin case or halo and you'll be fine. The glass goes to the edge of the device so you so need a cushion there. I have the Naked Tough Case and my X has taken some falls with no issues. I also don't have a screen protector on and have zero scratches after a couple of months of use.

There is already a case and screen protector in my shopping cart. A large amount of reviews stated that the screen was really fragile but close to none mentioned if they had a case on the device or not. To me: not having a case is you get what you get.
But none the less without having accurate information negative reviews can be concerning for such an expensive buy. Thank you for your input; hope to hear from others too.
I don't use a case. The other day I dropped mine out of my shirt pocket about 3-4 feet onto a tile floor. I didn't even get a scratch.

I dropped mine two times (no bumber or anything), both times it fell out of my jeans pocket. It got some scratches on the edges but absolutely nothing on the screen. I bought a bumper from Case Mate about a month ago (it was really cheap on Motorola brazilian webstore) just as a fail safe, because I'm usually very careful with the phone, the problem is when I have a few beers
My phone had a MAJOR fall AND bounce and my phone didn't have a scratch on it. No case, no screen protector.

Great, thanks all for your feedback. I just wanted some opinions outside of the reviews.
If you drop it, it will break at some point. However, the screen is built better than others. You just need a very thin screen protector for the sides and it won't break. Mine fell on solid concrete face down, no scratches.
had my phone for about a month, had a case on the entire time, dropped it numerious times no proble. Decide to take the case off just because I missed the look of the phone, 2 hours later I dopped it facedown on concrete from about 3 feet, I was on a park bench, completely shttered the screen. I bought moto care so everything was fine.
I've dropped mine on a concrete floor from about 1.5m high, no case, screen shattered - phone is now officially worthless.
It was just too beautiful a device to be hidden away in a case!
Now it'll be hidden away in some drawer until screens for it become cheap, because I'm not going to pay 200 bucks for the repair, for a phone that would be worth 200 bucks if it weren't damaged. So yeah, after all, the experience with my Moto X was quite a fail. Nice phone and all, but the way how the display is glued to the front glass is just a major construction flaw, because it makes it impossible to easily repair the glass (although there are spare parts being offered for about 10-15 bucks out there).
Mixed for us. First off, we bought insurance on both of our phones.
My wife dropped hers twice and it shattered.
I have dropped mine countless times. Some of those times I picked it up and I was shocked that it wasn't broken. It really depends if it lands on the corners of the glass side.
Any smartphone I have ever had that i dropped without a case, the screen has shattered. That's why I have a case.
