Case lifting off the screen protector.

This is driving me mad. I ordered some 'military grade' screen protector off ebay. Which you apply using liquid fairy water. And to be honest it is a really good protector apart from leaving indentations when you use the s-pen but thats only noticeable in the right light. This covers the whole face. To the edges.
The problem now is ive ordered 2 cases already which are just a **** build. Some tpu silicone one and a leather flip off ebay. Both dont fit the phone properly. Cant even charge with it on and plus it starts to lift the screen cpver off!
Now i have to order a new screen protector cause its damaged the edges. My question is what case can i get that fits perfectly and is actually a case that cpvers the edges...
Please help its driving me insane searching for cases all day...

Is complete garbage with the note 2. The problem with most of these wet applications is they cut the protector to go out to the curved portion of the note 2 glass. Zagg HD didn't change their cut, it was an attempt to get a less orange peel'ish type of protector. Looks great, then the S-Pen indents the protector itself, and the edges end up peeling from cases and pockets.
Dry application protectors that are as hard as you can find (3-4H rating) have been proven to be the best overall protector for the Note 2.
I have personally wasted money on the following:
Zagg (peeled on the corners) exchanged this at best buy for ...
Zagg HD (peeled on the corners and S-Pen indented protector) took it off and threw it in the trash once it started looking like ass
Ghost Armor (peeled on the corners and S-Pen indented protector) peeling was blamed on the phone and not the product (sorry excuse)
SGP Ultra Crystal (about 4 attempts to get one perfectly centered AND with no particles underneath, because I suck at installing these harder protectors)
I am waiting to try out a Just Like Glass protector so I can personally review it. The only thing that scares me is they sent out a batch that had "a bad cut"... again, no one seems to do it right the first time, with the exception of SGP. I found it strange they created the protector and THEN got a copy of the phone to measure, but hopefully they have fixed this issue.

Garbage with most tpu cases...they push up the screen protector, had the zagg hd and the one in the blue and yellow box tpu cases pushes up on sps that cover the whole front.

Dont get that zagg hd garbage. Xtremeguard are much better and way cheaper. I bought this cheap tpu case from ebay and its horrible. I had to cut my screen protector beacuse this thing fits so tight that it lifts my screen protector. I also had to cut the bottom of the case because the opening for the charger was too small. I went ahead and ordered the official tpu case from samsung and it looks to be a better choice.

Right thats it. I thought id use those cheap protectors that they send with the case. Ive installed quite a few overmy past phones. I made sure that tbere was no dust whatsoever by using the light and checking at the correct angle but somehow this pos protector has it as soon as i place it. Now my phone looks like **** with two dust bubbles in the middle of the screen.
I can live with the spen lines. Im going to order that wet apply protector at least that way its perfect. Going insane. Serious.

I'm running the spigen screen protector from amazon and it's sized so that a case won't lift the protector. Very smooth with both the s pen and my fingers. I have it matched with my body glove and it fits perfect.

My cheap ebay case pushed up my even cheaper Xtremeguard screen protector for the first day or two after application, but now it doesn't.I just needed some time to settle in. I have used Zagg, Skinomi, and now these cheapXxtremeguards. I like these the best for a fraction of the cost. I paid five bucks for three of them on ebay.

Seidio Surface & Screen Protector

I just put on the JLG protector from dba case and it fits almost perfect to the surface case. It's so snug your application of the protector needs to be spot on.
Other than the rainbow affect everyone talks about (only apparent when the screen is off and under florescent lighting) it had to be one of the best protectors I've used.

It doesnt peel off when you slid on the case? Also , how long did you let it settle until you put the surface back on? Thanks for the help I actually ordered the jlg yesterday
Sent from my Unlocked & Loaded Beast!

I put my case on about two minutes after I put the protector on. The important thing is to be anal retentive when putting on the protector. Lol at the home button portion I made sure the spacing was equal on both sides and on top.
It's almost like the screen protector was designed for this case.

What are you talking about? I don't see a Surface screen protector on Spigen's website.

No issues with iSmooth and SURFACE/CONVERT here. Any premium sp with a decent cutout side margin should be fine.

Recommended Screen Protectors?

I've seen a lot of talk about cases but not much on screen protectors (aside from the tempered glass ones). On my OG Droid I used a Zagg Invisible Shield that worked well but had a bad orange peel look to it. My GF's iPhone has a "Power Support" screen protector on it which is crystal clear and works well.
What is everybody using? Are the tempered glass protectors where it's at now?

I always have used sgp spigen screen protectors, think they are the best ones.

I know it's kind of pricey, but Zagg InvisibleShield Symphony Dry is the best in my opinion! Covers the front and back it's honestly my fav.

The Best Period
I'm currently using the iloome flex glass protectors. It looks great and it is real glass and it's only $16.99, but it is worth it. Looks nice and feels good. Plus its thinner then the Spigen nano glass protector.

Privacy Screen Protector for my G2
Well I have this Privacy Screen Protector I purchased it from Fommy , and its working really very fine..no hard issues till now..so If someone looking for a privacy screen protector..can give a try to this one....its nice one to go for.....

Has anyone ever rocked their phone without a screen protector? if so, did you screen get scratched up? Reason I ask is my Diztronic case for my Verizon G2 is great but it pushed up my Verizon screen protector (dry one from the store, which was working great). Am I going to ruin my screen without a screen protector? Does anyone have a Diztronic case and a screen protector that works well with it?

I switched from my Ballistic case to the Tudia Melody, which I love, because the former was causing my Zagg Invisible Shield to pull up. But all my previous phones have been completely naked and never had any problems with scratches.
VZW LG G2

Does anyone have any issues with spigen and the proximity sensor like in this review? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E486GMU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1382404949&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I've always gone back and forth using them or going naked about 50% of the time. Never scratched a screen till this one... one week into use there was a tiny one dead center. I think it was actually sorta caused by the flip case. Either the metal ring on it out something got sick between the flap and screen.

I ran my DNA completely naked. After a year it ended up having a few very fine scratches on the screen. Nothing horrible, but still there. I really like the feel of the bare glass, but may go back to a screen protector for my G2. I'm just not very good at installing them - maybe a glass one would be better... I don't know.

How much does it change the feel of the device? I love the idea of a non-plasticy protector.

just bought the Obliq pure oleophobic.

Looking closely at the edges of the screen protector on the phone, you will notice that the screen has about a 0.5mm radius all the way round it that is not sticking to the phone glass as a result of the glass curvature around all the phone screens edges.
I am having this same issue with my iloome flexible glass protector on my LG G2 as well sadly.
Without an external case that overlaps this edge I CANNOT recommend this glass screen protector as you run the fair risk of slicing yourself (i had to buy a gel case with overlap to mitigate this very real issue) or worse yet having a piece of glass screen protector break off in your skin because the glass screen protector is so thin and the edge is exposed around all the edges of the screen protector...

I just got my G2 on Friday and love it. I put a GadgetGuard (gadgetguard.com) screen protector on and ordered the Otterbox Commuter case. I hate the Defender case, too big and bulky. The screen protector is guaranteed for life!

Hey thanks for the reply. Do you think a tempered glass screen protector would fit with the otterbox commuter case or no?

I haven't ordered a phone yet but I've already placed orders for the iloome flex screen protector and the Diztronic case. I'm expecting it to still be very slim and minimalistic but still have protection from drops.
I can't post links yet but you can find them on Amazon.

Thanks for the reply I was thinking about the iloome flex screen let me know how that works out and how it works out with the case because I know some SP's dont fair well with cases

Xtreme guard front and back protector and a body glove dropsuit working fine for me.

I've got the Diztronic TPU matte case and absolutely love it. Being TPU it will also allow neat and clean trimming if you have an oversized USB cable plug you use with an alternate charger (provided cable fits easily). I haven't ordered one yet but the iloome screen protectors (both flex glass and tempered glass look tempting). The tempered glass is thicker however.

whas going to install my iloom today.. but it feels to small. so back with my copter. always work never disappoint me. so now I got a unused iloom flex that is to expensive to send back (sweden-usa)

I ended up getting the Incipio feather Shine and the Glass+Zone tempered glass screen protector with a black border to cover the LG logo. The fit with the case and screen protector seems almost perfect, about 1mm of clearance on the edges. I have not installed the screen protector yet as it came today and I need to get home first!
Will post pics if you're interested.

Why would you cover the logo?
As for OP's question, I bought a Nillkin Frosted Shield case, which is more like a back cover. It looks and feels awesome, doesn't protect too much though. I use Obliq Zeiss screenprotector, which isn't tempered glass, but does feel like glass, so I'm quite happy with it.

I own iCarez tempered glass screen protector. I like the feeling of glass rather than plastic. Also, plastic attracts oil and scratches easier. The glass hardness is 9 on the hardness scale so it won't scratch easily. It adds .3 mm to the thickness of the device.The iCarez one I have is anti-oil so it doesn't attract oil. Plastic screen protectors (at least the cheap ones) have a rainbow effect at certain viewing angles.
Cons of tempered glass protectors:
-adds ~.3 mm to thickness of device
-more expensive than plastic ones
Highly recommend glass protectors, just make sure to apply it correctly for they usually only come in packs of 1

Glass all the way no bubbles and u can't even tell it's on your screen plus the bonus glass break protection that it offers.

Glass, glass glass! Never again will i use a plastic protector.
The 5 dollar glass covers on ebay work fine.

I recently got the spigen glas.tr for my S5 and couldn't be happier. Installation was much easier than plastic ones, and the glass is not even noticeable. Not to mention that it has an oleophobic coating. Zagg makes glass protectors but it looks like they're back ordered.

Just put a glass zag protector on my granddaughter's Ipad air, she dropped it not even 10 minutes later, not a mark, scratch, fracture or dimple on the screen. Of course the zag did it's job and shattered like the tech that installed said it would and it's covered under warranty they are sending me a new one free of charge.
So go with glass it's worth the money

I have used both (zag invisishield, ghost armor and armour suit) and no matter what the film will yellow and start to peel over time
I prefer glass I also think it feels a lot better and not so cheap like the film's do

Glass for me....always. ..g

I prefer glass because it doesn't "drag" as much as plastic film does... the glass protects the screen while still keeping it "smooth as glass"

Days after installing the glass it cracked. Small places. Then bigger cracks.
Now I don't know what to do about it! They actually installed at the ATT store.

most of the glass shields come with a lifetime warranty, you register your purchase on line then if it breaks they send you a replacement free of charge, the rep at ATT should have provided you with the information to register it online. if not you have your reciept i think you can go online and register it that way.

Is the lip on a protective case a problem?
I had a plastic film screen protector on my s3. The lip of the rubber protective case pushed against it and caused it to peel up along the edges. Will the glass protectors do the same thing? Are any of the glass protectors slightly undersized to allow for the lip on a protective case?
