so I'm looking at the phone today, and it's not the first time I see a funny looking edge to the screen. Is there a factory installed, glass-like protector on our screens? Drag your fingernail from the edge, near the camera and you'll see what I mean.

No there's no factory screen guard on the device. What you're feeling is where the edge of the gorilla glass meets the phone body. The front of the phone is actually all one piece, tempered together. Check out this link where the iFixit guys tear it down and you'll see:

They have a sale right now for 75% for orders with 2 or more items. They seem like decent screen protectors, but the Nexus S is curved so most screen protectors don't cover the whole screen. Does this cover most of the screen? Thanks.

Nice find, but me personally i hate the feel of any screen protector it feels to thick and my thumb doesn't slide off the screen like it should.
It's weird haha
I have one on my phone & it's been great to have piece of mind that I'll never scratch the screen. To answer your question tho, they cover the entire screen except for a small cutout sliver where the earpiece & front facing camera are.

I have one will be putting it on soon... Hopefully I don't get any lint under it lol.
Do they make a screen protector for our Gnote 2 with only the speaker and home button cut out? Here is an example similar to what I am talking about.

I don't think they make any because the Note (and S3 I believe) have tapered glass on the sides, which means a protector would immediately lift on the edges.
normally they dont because occasionally, on non-perfect applications, its possible to get dust trapped underneath the screen protector where the front camera and ambient sensors/proximity sensors are, which can interfere with the way they work.

But I bought one for my epic 4g touch n sensor work flawlessly.
I bought this one. I just installed it today. It has the hole for the home button, speaker, and camera. The sensors are covered. I like it because it protects the whole screen. Its a wet application if that matters to you.

Xtremeguard I believe has a protector that only has cutouts like you're looking for. I briefly had it on my phone, so can't 100% remember. Keep in mind though that any protector that goes right to the edge of the screen is going to suck with the s pen.

Thanks for the reply but I check on ebay and xtremeguard has cut out just like others but it does cover more area. I'm looking for a full screen
cover with only speaker and home button cut out.
I got mine from ishield. The wet application scared me but my phone was fine. It's really for sgn2. There's even a plastic sheet for the back with the cam and Flash holes.
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
Can either of you do a thorough review here? Give us an Idea of how it feels and fits.

So I just got the Zagg screen protector yesterday from best buy. looks really good and fits really well with the defender Otterbox case. one thing i noticed later on when watching videos is where the screen curves near the edge there is a line that runs down the side right in the middle if the curve on both sides. Not a super big problem but once i noticed it, kinda is annoying. when doing everyday things you wont see it but when in landscape and the screen is a bright color it will stand out. Anyone else have this screen protector and can verify if theirs has the same problem? ill try and get a picture when i can get hold of another phone.
Can you at least post a picture? This is too long to read.

I contacted zagg and they said it's adhesive on the curved part on the screen and that's what's making that line. As I said in my post when I can I will post a picture.
I think all curved protectors have that line on the very edges. Its the adhesive ( since no glass protectors are full adhesive coverage ). My Zizo Bolt screen protector does the same. Still looks/ feels great even with the faint line and I wouldn't dare run without a protector lol
And it's hard to post a pic because the line is so faint.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Ya not a big deal. Just thought the line was odd. So far loving everything about this phone.
And that's why they usually paint the edges black.
On another note it maybe more prevalent on the zaggs because they use a stronger adhesive and it's slightly thicker
Well what is nice is that there is no Halo effect on the screen protector like there was on the note 5. That was terrible and collected so much crap in it.
Yup no halo. I'm not using the zagg but I'm sure the zizo tgsp is of equal quality. Thank god they didn't do black edges!

How do you like your Zizo Bolt case, the screen protector and the holster so far?
I am considering ordering it, but not sure about the glass. Is the adhesive on all 4 sides or just the top and bottom?
Thx

The adhesive is on all 4 sides. The way they designed it to cut around the earpiece and cameras, it's completely sealed against dirt which is awesome. I've used the bolt case on a few phones and love them. They hold up well against drops.

I got the zagg glass for my note 8 I guess it will work but wish there was a better option, screen just doesn't look as good as other glass screen protectors. I think I would even be happier with one that just ended before the curve and be really thin ... I wish i looked at the forums a bit more for the price the whitestone is looking like a better option the more i look at the phone , such a great looking screen before the zagg got put on, the full glued on ones look so much better with not fuzzy lines on each side. I wonder if i got the LOCA glue and used with the zagg would make it look better then it does now. ugh hate wasting money .... dam you Samsung and your curved edges lol
I'm really liking the Zagg Glass Curve. Extremely easy install; Case friendly; No screen sensitivity issues at all. Looks great!
The Zagg Curve has been improved immensely over what they provided for the S*+. Thicker, nor more loose edges with dust getting under the screen. I have just one complaint.
The dot matrix drives me nuts outdoors, when the phone is off and if the screen isn't up bright enough to make it disappear.
yeah ive used it for two days outside so far and the dot matrix is driving me nuts , also the little gap makes a huge glare and takes away from clarity when out side

Is this the best option or is there a better one?

Whitestone dome glass is better, it's a pain in the rear to install but it offers full adhesive layer instead of just the top and sides without the dot matrix of the zagg.

i bought the zagg protector today. have a similar line, not sure if it's affecting touch capabilities though
I might be nitpicking here. But I have screen protector in my note 8. I woke up this morning with a black line.
Is this black line a dust or a Scratch?
Here it is

That looks like a piece of dust/lint under your screen protector.
What sort of screen protection is it? Tempered Glass?

Tempered glass yes. I Can live with it if It's not on actual screen. I am new to edgw screen so excuse me for being paranoid. So it's not an actual Scratch?

It does not look like a scratch to me.
Scratches usually tend to show as a multicoloured line due to the LED below the display glass, that is a Black line that looks like a bit of lint / dust that got under the screen protector, possibly during application or slipped into a part that is not totally sealed around the protector.

Thanks for telling me cause I am a bit of a noob when it comes to telling the diffrence. The phone is awesome by the way. Coming from note 5.
Hi all together
Just got the note 9 and got the screen protector installed at the mobile shop. At home i saw two faint lines right and left of the screen protector. And it seems the glue does not touch the corners. It was a quality screen protector not a cheap one. The lines are not to visible, but still. Anyone made the same expirence? Will dust accumulate under the corners?
Thanx for any advice
Where are you the lines? There has to be an edge unless you get the Ringke which wraps around to the back of the phone. Unless the edges are lifted up and your case doesn't interfere it should be fine.

Was mainly noticeable as a hologram rainbow effect again very faint when a white image was displayed.
Same issue here. I thought I had a defective note 9 at first. I believe all the tempered glass protectors do that on this device.
