ATT screen protectors

I picked up the 3-pack of Att screen protectors from the att store the day I got my phone. They came with a cleaning cloth and applicator. Application was super easy and the feel of them is really smooth (much better than the squeaky feel of the zagg/invisishield ones). No water solution for these either. Its been a couple days now and absolutely no lifting and no bubbles. They're about an 1/8" too short to completely cover the entire front face of the phone, but they do cover the entire display no problem. If you line them all the way up to the bottom they will go to a little over the 'LG' logo up top. Oh and no affect on the touch screen sensitivity.
So if you don't feel like waiting for screen protectors to ship to you then I definitely recommend these at $10 for a set of 3.

Thanks for the review, they sound great! I have these coming Monday, along with my new Thrill 4G
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005067XJ0
I usually get Screen Protectors from Realook, but they won't have any out for the Thrill 4G/Optimus 3D for until the 24th, and I didn't want to wait to get protection on it, I will report how they are when I get them.

You guys outta try the screen protectors from Smartphone Experts from the Android Central Store. I have used them on my Inspire and they are great. After 2 months of use in a tire shop there are no scratches on the protectors. Easy application and they are available for the Thrill. They are $12.95 for a pack of 2, but they are worth it.

Thanks for that. I've tried a lot of cheap ones on other phones that get scratched up real easy and need to be replaced a lot. I'll see how well these art ones hold up.
Hows the feel on those ones? I hated how the zagg ones had that 'squeeky' feel.

Zagg has the full body protectors for the thrill also. I'm waiting on a 50% off code before I get mine though.

It is actually very smooth. Easy to slide your finger around. Unlike most, it is just a little thicker than others. It is definitely not squeeky feeling. It has just enough of a matte finish to be strong, but doesn't sacrifice screen clarity. All in all, you will be very pleased with the purchase and chances are likely that you won't want to go with anything else.

How do you guys apply these? I have two dogs and even though we vacuum and clean a lot, I still seem to always get some hair or dust particle under the protector when applying. Lately Ive been turning on the shower and closing the door and the air thick with water keeps the particles down.

Haha. Yeah it took some patience. The att ones came with a no-lint cloth and then I used a can of air to get the tiny little particles left behind. The bathroom idea is brilliant!

The same here, I run a shower for a few minutes to steam up the bathroom, then write dirty words on...wait, scratch that lol Okay, I clean the screen with the microfiber cloth that comes with the protectors, then use a can of air to make sure it's 100% clean, then put them on.

inspire screen protectors
Inspire screen protectors fit exactly on the screen, except they are a little rounded at the edge but you wont even notice that. Side to side and up and down it is an exact fit. So if you can't get your hands on any thrill.protectors pick up some inspire protectors and they work just fine.

I am going to try the ones from Android Central, thanks for the suggestion!

Let me know if there is any 50% codes for the zagg ones too.. I feel like those work best for me. And it's great protection and warranty

Gorilla Glass 2 is awesome!

There have been so many posts about broken glass and mysterious breakage, etc. Because of this I feel it's only fair to have a thread where people can post close calls where the glass did not break.
Last night my phone feel off the top of a beauro onto cement! Was in my basement. When I heard it land I did not even want to pick it up because I was sure it was gone. I had just taken the case off to clean it after getting some dirty fingerprints on it. I had a flash back of reading all those broken glass threads.
I picked it up and I could not believe it! There is just a very small scratch that can barely be seen on the chrome bezel. The phone was laying on its face when I picked it up and was covered with dirt and sand. I was careful not to slide it at all and instead of wiping it I went into my garage and blew it off with the air compressor. I then cleaned it as I usually do with a lightly damp cloth, the ones you get for cleaning eye glasses.
I literally spent 15 minutes going over the glass and the entire phone under a bright light to look for damage and there is not a single scratch on the glass.
I am usually very careful but there have been a couple times I have had the phone in my pocket with keys and one time a metal flashlight even and still not even a small scratch on the glass.
I have had other phones and have had an iPod touch, other tablets without gorilla glass and all of them had very minor surface scratches that could be seen under light. This glass is durable and pretty awesome at stopping scratches.
I think one simple way any phone can be scratched though is either when cleaning or even using the phone with dirty hands. All it takes is some very small sand particles on your finger or on your even when you clean it. Make sire your hand are always clean and the screen too and you should have no problem with scratches. As for breakage, I have had 3 drops so far, 2 of them fairly bad drops so I guess it just depends on how it lands but overall I have found this phone very durable despite being made of glass.
Anyone else want to share?

Although the glass didn't break I think it's structure is somewhat damaged. In many drop test I have watched, it usually shatter at the third times.
Mine have dropped twice without damage to the glass but I think I better be careful from now on cause the third time may not be nice like the other two.

Yeah I saw that video a couple weeks ago and thought the same thing. For it to basically be an all glass phone it held up well. That was the main reason I decided to just use a bumper instead of a back covering case. I figured if it can hold up to the back and side drop like that, a bumper should be fine for me (I'm not rough on my devices).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The front panel is mostly glass but the back is made out of plastic and covered in glass. What is amazing is if you take the phone apart you can see just how thin the rear glass is. Crazy thin!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Out of curiosity, which bumper are you guys using? I am using the official bumper btw.

I had kept my phone for charging on a table(unfortunately close to the edge ) about 1m in height . 3 missed calls later it was on the floor(tiled floor) and I heard the sound when it fell down. It was on its back with the front facing up and I thought it had cracked for sure. Turned it around to see no damage at all no dents on the chrome too . all I had on the phone was the glass protector for the back that comes with the phone.

... All the negative posts here about fragile glass are from Apple shills spreading FUD.
Every time a new nexus model arrives, there is a flood of suspiciously similar complaints threads that have no real bearing on reality. However it usually does the trick and achieves their aim.

I have dropped mine a couple of times from a couple of feet up and I have no serious damage to report.

I was lucky too. I just got to my girl friends house and had my nex4 on top of my nex10. I had placed them on top of a table on a balcony in the second floor of her house. Her little sister came running and grabbed my nex10 and the nex4 that was on top flew away to the ground from the second floor. And absolutely nothing happened to it. Maybe cus it landed on grass. But still there where rocks that it could gotten really badly damaged.

Polishing screen...minor scratch

Not sure how much confidence I have in Gorilla Glass but screen is just over a month old and I see two minor scratches. I babied the hell out of this phone, so I'm not even sure where they came from.
I figured I'd try to "buff" one of the scratches out which worked on my previous phone....not so much here. I used Meguires car polish and lightly rubbed at the scratch. It seemed to lessen the intensity of the scratch but now there is this...haze...where I used the product. If I wipe it away, the phone looks fine. After some use, it almost attracts the dirt/grime and you can see where I polished the screen which leads to me to believe there is some sort of coating I polished off.
Any way to fix this? Should I return it and get a new one?

You definitely polished a coating. There's an oleophobic coating that minimizes oil left behind from our fingers, and it actually also helps in preventing scratches. I'm a little confused from your title. Did the scratch occur while polishing, or did you want to say it's scratched and you want to polish it?

Sorry, it was scratched and I wanted to polish it out. The thing is, there is no evidence of anything until it starts collecting dirt. Otherwise, even under direct light, you can't see any difference.
I'll probably take back...my camera has been giving me issues as well. I'm past the 14 day grace period so I'm not sure what my next steps are.

Like the previous poster said it's oleophobic coating that was removed when you applied the polish. You could reapply it on your screen by using any liquid glass product.
Maybe you can try this? http://liquidglassshield.com/
It's not a real oleophobic coating but it should be practically the same.

Well I polish my screen too, screen protector and I get the same effect. Polishes do that, and they do that on your car as well. They're meant to protect metal so applying it to glass will give you a haze and, not attract dirt but the oil allows it to stick and it will show off more.
How do I know this? I used polish on my windshield. Same tthing. Try to wash it off lightly with soap. The other comments may be right but I think it's mainly the polish that did that

Possibly, but the bare glass underneath will still hold oil like crazy since the olephobic layer is gone there. I use the Oakley hydrophobic lens cleaner solution on my screens that don't have a coating and it works quite well. It definitely makes it easier to wipe oils off and fills in very minor scratches. Of course it's not as good as the gorilla glass coating, and the biggest problem is you have to reapply it once every couple weeks if you are using the screen frequently. Maybe the coating recommend earlier in the thread is better?
I guess alternatively you could just go the extra step and wax the screen... Vehicle wax is pretty good at repelling things but the polish does nothing like that by itself. Not common but neither is the situation

Hmm, true haha, don't use armor all wax, it sucks! Nufinish maybe?
Hey hey, why not get a screen protector? I've gotten one from eBay that's flawless 3 weeks after getting the phone. At least that way, you won't have to worry about the screen anymore; you have a new layer.
Plus the scratches will keep coming. At least when you have some on a screen protector, peel the film off and get s nee one - gone forever. What do you think?

Also, about gorilla glass being easy to scratch, its really still like any other glass. Stuff like sand will still scratch it.
My last phone had GG and I found out that my earring (quartz mineral stone) left little scratches on it, nothing else scratched it though. And it lived in my pocket daily for about a year with no case or screen protector. So GG isnt all that bad, it just wont protect against EVERYTHING.

Haha I'll probably buy one, on sale for me here. Yea I can understand, but the key is to keeping it clean all the time. I have an idea actually, first thing would be to have a lint cloth with u always but if you can get your hands on "stoner invisible glass rain repellent" from a store. I heard about it somewhere in Xda and it is AMAZING. use it for ur car too of course haha but put just a dot or 2 on your screen protector, buff it and you'll never see oil and fingerprints again. If u do, it will be after a couple of days perhaps. It's amazing. Buy it for your car but use it for your phone too

Or get the Spigen Glas.t and never have to worry again. Oleophobic, and actually rated tougher than Gorilla Glass itself

Yea you could try it, why not? Not sure how it works, never used it, but as with anything you will apply on a screen, because with a touchscreen you're poking and rubbing, it will wear off in a few days. 2 more mins of your time for 2-3 days of clear screening, works well o think

^^^ This! This is my worst nightmare... I baby the hell out of my phones and, like you, I clean my screen all day long. I just don't stand smudges and finger prints on it so I use my eye-glasses cloth. And every time I use it I closely inspect it so as not to have some sort of debree on it that could damage the screen... I know, its crazy... All this cleaning and inspecting takes up tens of minutes of my day

Pardon if I'm talking about another product but as far as I know RainX is a brand of wiper blades lol! You clean your screen with a wiper blade?

I've been using a screen protector for my gear since the day I got it. Cut out of a large piece that I had for my iPad. What I noticed is that the ones I have seem to have issues with the fact the watch face is slightly curved.
It still works, but might come off after a while. I used a wet application type one as well (best skins ever) and it worked really nicely. You just gotta be careful when the charger cradle is connected to it as there seems to be some pressure exerted and causing the film to bubble upwards sometimes, and eventually causing it to become really ugly.
My thoughts are the best screen protector for the watch would be those sticky type that has some adhesive on it, something like those I used back in my Palm Pilot days.

Just fitted my screen saver. Bought from Amazon. Kwmobile. Very good quality, in fact superb but the watch face is curved so is the crystal so the screen saver sticks up at both ends.
Absolute waste of money. I went and bought three of them as I know from years of experience with these things how much they vary in quality and ease of application. I am now stuck with three screen savers that are no good to man nor beast!
Back to the drawing board on this one.
In terms of mobile phones though if Kwmobile make screen protectors for mobiles I would use them, they just dropped a brick with Gear.
Ho-hum.

No worries can do : ) Has anyone else noticed very very fine scratches on your screen? only visible in the right light and angle, I work in an office and the only thing that has come in contact with my screen is my sleeve, no buttons just material from my business shirt. So i have cut out a screen protector. I noticed the scratches after day 1 of use :S

Can i ask, did the wet application cause any issues with your watch? I saw the full protection version that Skinomi is selling. I think it looks ok, but I also know the watch has issues with moisture.

During the time I used the wet application film on the watch, I did not notice any issue with condensation or problems. The only problem I found was the fact that the charging cradle seem to have really tight tolerances. So the film gets bubbled up every time I charge the phone. Eventually that ruined the film and I reverted back to my home made Spigen. Done properly most people won't know there's something covering the watch. I've got the Spigen covering the front face and wet application film covering all the metal parts

You can see the hair like scratches, is anyone else experiencing the same?

Ah, good idea, never even thought about using a screen protector. .. I have a bunch of unused ones for phones I don't even own anymore, will get the scissors out!

Dust under screen?

Hi, I'm contemplating buying this phone. I know it's dust-tight but does that mean the electronic internals are, or everything, including the screen? I know Super AMOLED and Super Clear LCD have no air gap so can't get dust under the touch panel but I've seen an S4 Active in the "flesh" and I saw gaps round the bezel of the phone where the glass meets the plastic (like every Samsung I've had) and I worry that dust might get in there and under the touch panel (into the actual LCD). Anyone every had a dust problem with this?

Same here...I drive a truck in a very dusty environment, phone is left in a holder on dash, all day long. So far no dust under screen or under back cover. Ive had phone for 2 months now.

Thanks for your replies Just had another go on one in a phone shop. It's a beauty. I only wish it did slow motion like the S4 But it's waterproof and that's brill!
