Hello Everyone,
I've ordered several different screen protectors from different brands over the last weeks for my G2 but they all seem not to fit.
I have a white European T-mobile version D802 and all of them do not cover the screen completely. The screen protector does not cover the sides 100% and have a space of 3mm uncovered, from the top or bottom it is about 5mm. This is including the parts (forgot name for this) where's no touchscreen.
Is it supposed to be like this or am I having bad luck in choosing protectors?
I would like to have a protector that covers the entire front, could any of you point out a good one?
Thanks everyone!

The screen is curved on the edges, its not possible to cover it 100 percent as it would show and it wont stick on the edge and you will notice the protector easier + dust.
Anyway if you wanna get the flipcover you absolutely need the protector. The flip is a bad design as it is ... scratched the screen and now the protector as well... Who thought to make the inside of the window plastic or metallic was an idiot... (its harder as the soft "pillow" and every dust speck or anything between is automatically going to scratch the screen)

Understand.
In that case it covers the top to bottom part of the touchscreen, but still on the sides the touchscreen is not covered completely by 2mm +/-

The ZAGG protector is really good in covering 99% of the phone and with the protector being a wet-application it will stick with the curved screen. only problem is that it has the orange peel look and feel.
Edited:
OH and if you do order the Zagg protector don't order the back protector...it doesn't fit properly...

I dont understand why people are buying screen protectors for G2, are useless in devices with Gorilla Glass, my Samsung Galaxy S2 has 2 years old without any mark on it... don't waste your money.

good luck. It doesn't mean indestructible. Only harder to scratch...
I had many gorilla glass devices. In company as well. Everything gets scratched. I do not buy protectors normally. But I have the flip scratcher(cover) as I said, that's just bad design....

Come on, what a way of thinking, of course if you scrape the surface with sand you will scratch the phone...
I never had a scratch with normal use of my phones...

I have many friends that were thinking that their phones have a pristine surface. No scratches.."THINKING"
You should not care about what you do not see though.
I just said that the FlipCover is a bad design... (very bad) and the glass not indestructible. Also under some circumstances likes to get scratched.
Also @citytrader sorry, but sand you can find anywhere ... Just try to travel between Cairo and Alexandria and see in which places on your body you will find Sand.....
I'll be getting one of these in a few days time and wanted to know if it ships with a screen protector and if it does, is it usable. 1st gen shipped with one but had this big whitish moto g logo that ruined everything. As this mobile is quite new failed to find too many options. There is the usual GadgetShield but just wanted to know if the stock (if it has) can be used for a few months.
Any help would be appreciated.
The bottom left corner is white, but it's quite good in my opinion, due to it's matte surface the screen looks a bit grainy, but it's good enough until there are other screen protectors available.

Anybody found a good quality matte screen guard? Is gadgetshieldz matte or glossy, any idea?
Thanks
I haz me a chineZe glass on my Nexus5 and Im getting the misses a MotoG2 and a Glass screen protector for her also..
Mine didn't came with a screen protector. I got it from London. Had to buy a couple on Amazon, turns out the Matte ones are the best choice for me. Doesn't require much cleaning and are like the glossy ones.

The little white tab actually peels off, lift the protector up a bit and use your nail to get the tab off and stick back the protector.
I just ordered an Ultimate shield protector though off ebay, hope it's good.
Is there any need for a screen protector at all? Isn't gorilla glass hard enough?

Can anybody give me link of good matte screen protector.
I got my moto g yesterday, I still have the initial plastic layer on my screen.. So do I need a screen protector? Because colors like blue, orange seem a bit dull..
i put on it a glass screen protector (casebase) and i notice that if i put the phone on a table and i try to use the touch sometimes it doesn't work on the edges...for example it's hard to write the Q or the P with the keyboard
if I keep it in hand it works better, but not as good as it was without the glass protector or with the classical screen protector made of plastic
same here

I put a mr. Shield screen protector on my wifes moto g2. It was super easy to apply, looks absolutely perfect. They are super cheap on amazon. Not tempered glass tho. They were 6 bucks shipped for a pack of 5. I highly recommend them.

You can remove this white corner tape cover.
It's not matte, but I do have this brand, and it's pretty good. Cheap, too. I've used them plenty of times before, and I've always been pretty happy with this company.

http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-Tech...&qid=1434859739&sr=8-2&keywords=s6+edge+glass *(click on the tech glass in the options)*
I am very happy to see Glass protectors finally for our Edge but disappointed that they are colored now instead of fully clear.....Wouldnt that make the capacitive buttons look recessed or sunken in now? I just don't like the idea, kind of like adding depth to the buttons...
Skinomi Tech Glass
thanks for the post I was on that page just a couple of days ago and that option wasn't there yet. Seems interesting as most full edge covered tempered glass screen protectors are black and that one seems to actually be blue like the phone is. Also about the clear/coloured the reason is the adhesive used would show at the top and bottom so I personally don't mind it being coloured as long as it matches the original colour. It seems it's the only way to achieve full coverage and not lose
the glow from the capacitive buttons by adding the cut out as it is 0.33mm glass. I think it'll still make the phone look amazing and definitely want to give it the best yet still slim protection and this seems like it'll be for now so I decided to order it even though it won't ship until around July 17th.
would it fully cover the phone screen?
I have one. I dont mind it but it doesnt cover the full front of phone. Doesnt interfere with viewing really but the only thing i don't like is the cut for the top spots is off slightly
looks like a gen 2 protector
i don't have any experience with this particularly product but let me tell you this is not a GLASS protector but a FILM protector like INVISIBLE SHIELD or BODYGUARDZ, so take that in mind before buying

you have to click on the right product, the link directs you to the film one.
choose the first one, that one is glass.

How is the touch sensitivity? Especially around the edges?
Good! Thanks!
I got mine yeterday and sensitivity sucks on the left side. I'm off by tiny bit hen installing it and that could be the reason but who knows. I did post a picture in the Skinomi review thread in here if you want to take a look. Not sure if I have gen 2 or 3 but it does look great. Too bad for my left side sensitivity issue. Slightly getting better so there is some hope. Guess I'll give it a few more days.
EDIT: after re-aligning the glass, I don't have sensitivity issues on the left hand side anymore.

Skinomi Tech Glass screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy S6 is perfect. It does not cause any touch nor tactile sensitivity at all though I knew some did experienced touch sensitivity especially on the sides. what works is aligning the shield to the center.. really it works great as those expensive brands.. worth a try!
oh great
Any pictures of the gold?

That's for the normal screen protector, not the glass.
Hi, I've bought recently this phone and wanted a sturdy screen, preferably a glass tempered one but I've got no idea what brands to go for or if those that you can buy cheap on ebay are enough. I'm a bit clumsy so the possiblity of it slipping out of my hand by accident and falling on its screen is there. If anyone can give some input based on experiences, that'd be great.
Cheap plastic ones from amazon always seem to work fine on all my devices.. When they get scratched I have no issues throwing on a new one.
They are cheap but keep the screen flawless

hi, i am using nillkin H+, i bought it from amazon
Things i liked in this Nillkin :
1) my friends tempered glasses catches scratches, fades after long time use (4 months) and makes screen unusable in rain, but as nillkin is having real nano coating it helps me to operate my phone even in rain with out much problem
2) i bought a tempered glass before worth 270inr from ebay it was good to look, but when i was about to remove it as its not having Nano coating on it, then i observed that it cracked and formed small powder fragments on edges when i tried to remove it with hard plastic :silly:
later i installed nillkin, had to remove this also as i didnt manage to fit it perfectly on my screen.. i used the same hard plastic, this time Nillkin tempered didnt break nor atleast formed any tiny fragments, i lifted it and set again with out any problem
these are my observing on my tempered glass
I bought a tempered glass one for around $3 on eBay, haven't gotten it yet. I don't know if the more expensive ones are better, but better can mean 2 things. Either that it's stronger, so won't break easily; or that it protects the phone better. I doubt one will protect the phone more than the other.

I do the same thing. No problems yet.
I bought a nillkin H+ but removed it after a while because the phone screen is much less oleophobic. With the screen protector on, the fingerprints were extremely annoying, at least on my sample.
So can anyone recommend a really good high quality glass screen protector without flaws? If there is none then i'll order motorola official flip shell...

The $3 ones on eBay don't have flaws. I have one and I know other people who have them, no one has any problems with them. Just first learn how to put it on so you don't break it.

Undersized
I bought a tempered glass one from an online (no brand). It's undersized, about 1.5mm all around. Probably useful to allow a case to grip the front edge, but the description didn't say so. I feel cheated, but for the price it'll do.
My previous tempered glass ones (branded) were excellent protection, and felt better on my finger than the plastic ones.
[edit] I forgot to say, the shape is one with cut-out north of the top speaker, rather than the others I've seen with speaker hole.
Moto G Premium Quality Screen Protector is Anti Glare Matte edition in my recommendation.
it Protects your device from scratches & dust. Easy to Apply , Fits perfectly and requires no cutting. Comes with a cleaning cloth and application card. Easily removable with no sticky residue or marks
Tempered glass screen protector from amazon
I've been using a SPARIN tempered glass screen protector since I got my moto g in August. (It's about $8 on amazon; unfortunately I can't post a link, but it should be easy to find)
I've managed to crack it in at least 8 places (my phone falls a lot), but it hasn't picked up any scratches yet, and it's protected the actual glass underneath. If you're even a little proficient at holding things, it should be fine.
Snakehive protector
I've only had it a few days, but I bought a Snakehive tempered glass protector for my new G3, from their Amazon store. Very pleased so far. It has cutouts for the mouthpiece at the bottom and for the earpiece, light sensor and camera at the top, although at the top it doesn't surround them for some reason, but that's only a couple of milimetres uncovered. It was a breeze to put on when compared to film protectors. I laid it over the mouthpiece and it simply eased itself into place over the rest of the screen. Seems a bargain at the current £3.95.
I'm wanting to get the flip down case from Snakehive too, assuming they get more stock in.

First day of smartphone, yes good idea to have a screen protection. But now with gorilla glass, useless.
It's my point of view.

I used and have a Mr shield or something like that from Amazon super easy too install i've had no bubbles when placing it on the phone also bought a case where there was enough space that should it fall on the screen side it's not touching the floor I've dropped my phone about 5 times over the course of a year. Took off the case and replaced the screen protector and it still looks like brand new minus where I've blindly inserted the USB cord.
10 days to 1 year since i purchased the device . never used any screen protector and been 8 month since i didnt use any case either.

my phone has some minor scuffs and little bend on bottom right corner but thats coz the phone fell from above 5 feet . must say the build quality is very solid
Honestly, you just don't need them these days. Had my G3 6 months, not a single scratch and I am hardly careful with it, gets thrown in pocket with keys and lose change, and dropped often because I am clumsy. Plenty of dents along the bezel but screen as good as new.
Can anyone suggest a cheap screen protector maybe you have bought from eBay? If it is possible share a link to where I can purchase it. Please share only products you have tried. I don't want to buy something I don't know well and haven't seen a review of it! Thanks...
I got these tempered glass ones. Two in the package for $6.95. Put one on the phone back in early June still going strong. Hi proper cutout for the proximity sensor and ffc.

Two tempered glass protectors with proximity cutouts, $4. Feels just like a normal screen.
Installation was easy, carefully clean the screen of all dust and residue then align the tempered glass carefully. Bubbles will dissapear as you press on them, and it's no rush, I had bubbles a few hours after that dissapeared when I applied pressure.
Definitely inspires confidence that it will protect the screen from impacts?
This screen protector from Amazon works great! I personally have this one and it was a perfect fit and saved my phone from a face down drop on cement.

I had a tempered glass from Nillkin at first. Someday I droped it and the tampered glass did its job fine protecting the screen but broke. Then I thought that tempered glasses may break easier than the screen and thus every few drops I loose 10usd for nonreason (the screen never broke without protector, but the protector broke quite easily). So I ordered some tempered glasses from Aliexpress priced just under a dollar. The first one was probably defective and started to get off on one corner. But after that I got it off and applied another. Its perfect now, it feels just like naked screen (same as Nillkin). It broke on face down drop but maybe the exensive one would brake too.
Probably the expensive ones are tougher but they cost 10 times up or more. Does it really worth it?

If you drop your phone that much, quantity is probably more worth it for you than quality
Its not that, but i think that cheap ones do the job so why to pay for an branded one?
Had a Pleson that lasted for the whole 11 months or so I had my first 5X but got this instead when I got my replacement:
