Recently a part of my screen protector came out when i was playing a game(it didn't protect the edges). I wanted to ask you guys which is the best (and the most economical) screen protector (protecting edges or not) that you have used for the O2X.
Also if I get something for the back camera as well it would be a treat!
Really? 156 views and no reply? Is this section dying?
Hi,
Relax man, I think many people are not using screen protector on o2x because it has gorilla glass screen.
As for myself, I am using a screen protector that is made of PET material with laser precision cut. It is more durable protecting your screen against scratches and it is scratch resistant by itself. I have bought it of ebay 7mth ago. Most of them are not really that expensive, just be wise which one you choose.
Cheers!

Well, are there any obvious scratches on you protector? From which seller or company did you buy it from and for how much?
I use a Phantomskinz screenprotector at the moment. Feeling is good ( little more resistance than bare glass) and scratches are not noticeable. There are a few little dips in the protector but they do not influence the usability.

I bought like 3 for a dollar on eBay, they stick well and last a few months. Don't get scratched unless I do dumb stuff like keys facing screen (bad practice anyway, bump a wall and keys go through your nice IPS display).

Okay! Thanks guys!

Is this worth the 15$?
@rukhi Did the protector downgrade the screen quality much?

no it did not. since it was "soap" applied it was a bit smudgy for first 16 hours after that it cleared up. zagg on the other hand is better then xtreme guard. More authentic feel. i have one laying around somewhere, will put it on in a few days. Zagg provides better quality
im planning to get those clear back doors for p990 they look cool
Well I guess ill buy from zagg the. Clear back door?
Btw I am thinking of getting this case too it looks pretty cool!

Zagg didn't feel good at all for me.
Threw it away after a weak or so and bought non doap protector.
My advice, don't waste money on soap protectors.

well, they are applied using soap water so that there are no dust particles or you don't smudge up the protector while application. while it does seem a little distorted for a couple of days but when it clears out its very clear in my opinion
So which ones are better soap or non soap? :?
I just bought some random cheap screen protector..Works just fine..:b
I got one from Brando. More expensive than no-names of eBay but has proved to be really good. I've tried a number of soap products like zagg phantom and bse but it's not for me. Too much resistance when swiping and does not look as nice as the Brando.

I bought a pack and they have the camera hole cut out and the light sensor cutout the wrong way round!
Well, to be honest I have been using the 2x without protector (neither screen, nor body itself) since it came out and it's screen is still scratch free. Just remember that it can't resist stuff like sand and keys, put it in your pocket without anything else and your good! Just my 2 cents
I can only say: Buy Maoni!! (look at ebay for "maoni your device"
They are unbelieveable! no tiny bubbles, and they hold for over a year now like at the first day!
I'll never buy another!
Does anyone know of a reputable and cheap seller of screen protectors for Nexus S i9020, in the UK? I am suspicious of eBay results but perhaps I should not? Links/Names would be appreciated.

I suggest eBay. Got mine, an XtremeGuard protector which is a vinyl type protector (from user xtreme_guard). First one I got was damaged during shipping, too much weight was put onto the envelope containing it and it got marked by the application tool and he sent me another one free of charge. Best protector I ever bought and definitely a good ebay experience.

Lol I used to use a screen protector then I took it off because the two end wouldn't fit properly since the nexus has a curved screen but so far no scratches I actually had scratches on my screen protector :banghead:

Have faith. There are no scratches. Gorilla glass isn't the only sturdy/scratch-resistant glass in the world.

I was under the same impression when I bought the phone too.
Gorilla glass or not though, the biggest screen scratcher isn't rusty nails or whatever gimmicky thing they show you in the phone screen protector ads but rather pocket sand. Any sand you have in your pockets will DESTROY the phone over time. I've seen some phones become completely hazy, including ones equipped with Gorilla glass from people working more physical jobs.
Mine has a protector, but it's for the OCD rather than anything else. As long as you put your phone in a pocket of it's own, empty of any debris, and you don't rub it face first on a table, it should be fine.

Looks and sounds pretty awesome. There's a nice youtube review on amazon.
Would definitely appreciate some feedback on it. Might have to try it.
There's a big topic here about this. There were problems with those SP so they stop selling them.

Really...but on amazon they are still selling it lol...what was the problem?
What was the issue? Is it possible they fixed it?
There back on sale at ilooms site. These are not what were defective. Those were the normal ones. These flex ones are a new style I think.

i'm using it right now with spigen slim armor, i could say this thing is somehing else
easy install, very scratch resistant and tough i say, BUT!
when you play games and the phone heats up, it peeled a little at the sides!!!!
thats the case if you use it face down, gravity pulls it off
Note: don't know wheter its just me or anyone have this problem
might be suitable with cases with bigger bezel to keep it in place.
overall, i can still live with that. no scratch at all from countless time in-and-out from my jeans
glass cleaner works perfect with this, but don't spray it directly, might get inside some holes
my doughnut falls on it once, no scratch at all:victory:

How is the fit and finish of the product after it was installed? Close up pics would be great as well :good:
Taken with 8mp Sony ST18i:good:
the edge seems visible yes, but it's only because of my camera (lighting reflection maybe?)
finish is good, but not that friendly with fingerprints
at first it feels a bit rough, after a few wipes and cleaning then it starts to feel comfortable

I just put one on today and it doesn't cover the whole screen. There is about 2/8 of the screen not covered on each side. I have two of them and there both the same. Im returning them because these are def not covering the screen like it should.
I bought one of these. I love it. I don't know how much protection it would offer in the event of a drop face down with no case, but I think it was worth the money spent. It's definitely glass. No it doesn't come out to the edges all the way, but pretty damn close. Perfect for a case.
I have one haven't put it on yet. Still use my copter.
Noticed to it doesn't cover all the screen but I use a bumper so that's OK.
I would not recommend it if u want a protector use copter. Lifetime warranty. Just fill out a online form and tray send u another one. (even if u haven't bougt one in the first place)

Bee using it for over a month. No bubbles edges are sticking. It covers entire screen. Its cut precisely so it's difficult aligning it to the T. But it will cover entire screen. You just gotta be nice.
I have scratched it, one decent scratch. Other minor surface scratches. All in all I'm happy

Review on SNP Tempered Glass Protector. I finally received it from Korea and put them on. It took about little over 2 weeks to receive this.
I thought I did good installation on the Tempered glass protector, but all around the edges I had gaps.
I contacted the seller and they told me that this screen protector is not for Verizon model, because of the 1mm curved edges.
I guess the Korean version of the G2 dont have curved edges and I dont know about Atnt or Tmobile models.
They are giving me a full refund for this since they didnt mention that it is not for Verizon models.
But if you have the Korean Version of the phone I really recommend it.
First the costumer service is excellent.
Second, the Tempered glass protector covers close to edge to edge.
And third, the responsiveness and the clarity is excellent.
My fingers were sliding across really easy.
Since the protector is edge to edge you cant use cases like the Diztronic cases or SGP Slim armor, etc.
So you have to use the ones like Poetic Palette or Incipio Feather cases.
I mean I still have them on since the quality of the Tempered glass protector is really good.
Until I find another Tempered glass protector that I want comes out, I think im just going to leave it on.
* Pro
- Close to edge to edge coverage.
- Responsiveness and the clarity is excellent.
- Smooth feeling
* Con
- Not for Verizon LG G2
Here is a link to the product that I have bought.

The seller told me that they dont have any problems on Korean version. Im sure they try out the protector on the device before they sell it.
But yeah...have to wait for another tempered glass protector comes up...was thinking about trying iloome ScreenMate Flex Flexible Glass for G2.
Have anyone tried this?
it looks like there's major bubbles on the edges.
I bought a Clasy korea tempered glass SP and the edges look exactly like yours. No offence, but I just can't take that gap. It does look like tiny bubbles and that forms a "silver lining" on the screen.
I'm having an international D802 and I really don't think any glass SP will fit perfectly on any G2 model. However, I think the normal plastic ones may work though.
Seriously planning to remove it and go naked..

I have tried out 2 different tempered glass protector so far...and didnt find the one that fits my phone perfectly.
Tried the spigen glass protector for my iPhone 5 and wasn't all that thrilled with it. For the money at least
Just using cheap ones from Verizon, can't find a decent tempered one :/

How's that working out for you on the Flex? I was concerned that the screen on the Flex would be softer than a non flexible screen making it more probe to scratches and swirls.

Have you emailed any of the company's and asked if they're making a glass screen protector for the Flex? You could put the email in here maybe so we all can pester them. lol I've never had one but my friend loves them too.
I contacted Nilkin, a Japanese company who made one for the one max, but haven't heard back yet.
I am not sure that anyone can/will make one, since it might be really difficult to get glass to adhere to a curved screen..

Ok. That makes sense. lol Darn. Thanks
I think its still too early to assume there wont be any. What most of these accessory companies do now, is wait and see how popular a new phone becomes, before they bother to make anything for it.
Assuming this phone becomes really popular in the next month or so, I think there will be alot more "stuff" for it.
Its really only been out a month or so in the USA..
I'm kind of surprised what's out in stores already. I remember some stores wouldn't get cases for a month after the phone was out.
I got a Skinomi screen guard from Amazon. It Is the nicest protector I've ever used (and I've tried a lot of them). Crystal clear and virtually no orange peel effect. I paid like $5 plus $4 shipping which was super fast. I'm sorry, but i don't have a link. Just Google it. Should pretty easy to find.

I only bought the screen protector as I'm using a case. I can definitely believe that the corners would peel up on a full body protector. I've experienced that every time I ever used one of those. It was fairly easy to install but try do it somewhere where there's no dust as these are very staticy and instantly attract dust, pet hair, etc. ( I put mine on in the bathroom ) Skinomi's website had a link for a YouTube video with installation instructions.

Hoping ZAGG comes out with one but I doubt it. Their glass ones for the iPhone and S4 are flexible so they wouldn't be out of the question for the flex. Really easy to put on too as I've done a bunch for customers
