Hey just a question, does the Moto X (2014) have the smooth edges of the screen curved similar to the iPhone 6 because that's kinda what I see in pictures. Or is it like a 90 degrees corner or what? Sorry if this has been answered, or if its a dumb thread... Cheers!

Yes, it has a radius on the edge of the glass, that blends with the aluminum frame on the side.
Yes and it feels nice.
Probably more noticeable to look at on the white version though.
Yeah a slight curve, so be weary of tempered glass protectors, the Bodyguardz version does not sit flush on the screen, makes me sad. But oh well.

Maybe what I'm asking is impossible, but I'm looking for a case that is flush with the GN2's screen and has no edges. This is a beautiful device and most cases I've seen make it ugly. (This actually goes for most phones.)
Also the edges around the screen make it harder to touch some icons.
Is there such a thing available?
Not saying that you're wrong but it's funny how different preferences we all have. I prefer cases that goes a bit on top of the screen so that the phone can be put face down on a flat surface without risk of damageing the screen.

That's exactly why most case manufacturers leave a lip on the case. It's considered a feature. That being said there is some that don't have one. I think the d3o cases sold by T-Mobile has some like that.
I think the Spigen Ultra Thin Air case will fit your needs. Not completely flush with the top surface of the screen, but pretty dang close -- just a smidgen of "lip" over the edge to keep the phone in place. I'm rocking a white case on a titanium gray N2 and it looks killer. The case doesn't add much to the thickness, adds marginal weight. The sides don't completely wrap around the entire edge of the phone, but I think it's a necessary tradeoff to minimize increased weight and size.
I can take a pic of my phone later to demonstrate, but the pics on the site show it pretty well.

Very good fit and finish on this case, plus you get a nice screen protector.
Here's on that's REALLY thin:

I'm not a fan of the feel though, smooth plastic, some graininess, but it's fine so its smooth to the touch.

I posted pics of it somewhere here, but the lip isn't bad at all, raises the screen up off any surface if i place it face down, so that's a plus in my book.

Is the fit OK with this one? no creaking? How is the thickness compared to the nillkin that you posted?
i have that one, fits too perfect that it is so hard to take off, lip is minimal, may suit ur needs, scratch protection but no drop protection at all

Tried looking for pics u posted, but didn't see any - curious to see the front of that
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

the solution is use the phone with 2 hands or with voice command
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.

I've been studying pictures of the 2014 Moto X but I can't really tell. I loved the curve on the old Nexus S...the front face of the Nexus S was curved where the ear and mouth ends had a slight curve upwards. Is the Moto X curved like this? Or is the curve only on the back and the front glass face is flat/straight?

No, it's not. The glass is perfectly flat except for the edges where it curves into the body.
What I'm curious about though, is why you would even think it would be curved like that in the first place?
The original Google phone with the ultimate curve... Nexus S. Notice how the face is not flush with surface because of the curve. it was a awesome design

I know about the Nexus S, I used to have one. The Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus are the only two phones that I can think of that have that curved front... why would you think Moto X would have that same design?

There have been a couple other curved phones from LG & Samsung, but they didn't see a wide release and I think were only available in Southeast Asia. Either way, every phone that has had any curve too it has ALWAYS been advertised that it was curved, and the Moto X was not mentioned as being curved, or even hinted that it wasn't flat.
Anyone seen this yet?
http://www.amazon.com/SkinomiĀ®-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?
clear is on sale for $6.95..... hmm

That's for the normal screen protector, not the glass.
Hey guys just wanted to give a heads up about the oneplus official tempered glass screen protector.
I don't know if others are as irritated by it but the screen protector stops short of covering the screen on all sides. I mean its so bad that the edge runs across the screen viewing surface on both sides. I did put in a complaint, maybe they will resolve it. I did order a Orzrly screen protector but canada post is on strike so I'm stuck with this irritating screen protector for a while. I don't seem to be allowed to link to pictures though.

Yeah i am. It creates massive problems while tapping on any options near those edges while gaming. Horrible.
@andrewrcatton, some gap around protector is not a quality issue rather it is a intentional decision on OP side.The reason is op3 has side curves

So they intentionally decided to have a 5mm(guessing) gapp all around from the edges? That's stupid. I Under stand how the screen on my device curves but the edges of this protector is far from the edges, with it centered its 4-5mm from the edge of the viewable screen so you see a line down the right and left sides. Ill post pics when im allowed to.

Yes it is really a stupid decision of OP to such **** protector.
Don't buy these protectors instead use 3rd party full coverage one
Having the same problem, it looks awful. How did you raise the complaint with one plus? I can't even find an option to do so....
