Anyone know of any glass screen protectors that aren't the VZW brand? Hoping for something with a warranty.

It was part of the promotion they were having. I traded in a 4s and 5c and got my wife a iphone6, me a droid 64gig, glass screen protector for me. Her a case, glass screen protector. A wireless charging pad and 2 more chargers. Out the door was 201. And 100 off my bill. And even though he said I wouldn't be able to, for some reason I kept unlimited data. I was ready to loss it but it staid. It took almost an hour to transfer my wife's stuff, Apple issues lol so a lot of hook ups to apologize I think lol. He kept adding stuff as we waited. Very good vz rep! =)
I picked up the flexible glass screen protector from Verizon for only 17 or 18 bucks. Its crazy thin and had the believe its actually glass. I do wish the dimensions were slightly bigger and that it it would fully extend to the edges of the phone's screen. Its not a bid deal with the defender case on, it covers the remaining unprotected portion.
The screen protector was easy to put on and had no issues with touch sensitivity by its self. I also have a defender case too, but found that with the screen protector and the defenders plastic one it was a bid much and the touch sensitivity was bad. I peeled off the defenders plastic one and it works just fine now.
Just got this glass screen protector yesterday and its awesome! Just hate how it doesn't cover from edge to edge.
Looks like Zagg is making a glass one as well, according to someone on AndroidCentral.

Are the edges rounded or squared? I would think your finger would catch a lot with the capacitive buttons
only time my fingers catch is when trying to use google now short cut but with google launch very rarely use the swipe up from home key
In another month there will probably be 40 different kinds out there. I had the one from VZ but it made certain areas of the screen not respond as they should with the otterbox defender. for instance to pull down the top menu to see notifications would take 3-4 tries. The defender already has a screen cover so I took the one off from verizon. Works perfect now. I will probably try again with a Zagg.
Xtremeguard has released the spartan glass now.

I was just using my phone and just realized that my screen is scratched! Its a fairly deep scratch. I don't abuse my phone either. So much for gorilla glass. Got my replacement coning in tomorrow.
Aw that's terrible, sorry about that. Do they just send a prepaid return box with your new phone? Or do you have to go without your D3 for a week? Because that would be unreasonable lol

It seems like gorilla glass has gotten not so "gorilla" lately. The og droids screen was extremely difficult to scratch. But the past 3 phones that i owned, have scratched very easily in weeks. Its a shame.
They rip you off on the screen protectors. I have no scratches but I spent like $12 for 3 for me and my girlfriend, then I got addicted to amazon and found a 3 pack for 3 dollars. -___-

On eBay, you can often get 3 for $1, with free shipping.
In my experience, the cheaper screen protectors are just that, cheaper. if you spend a bit more money on it then you might get yourself a really good screen protector that will feel like the original screen on the phone when you touch it. Of course, that's just my experience though

I don't use any screen protector but I do have a case which faces the phone in and keeps the screen from getting scratched. I've tried a few protectors in the past and they always seemed to mess with the haptic feedback in some way.
I've dropped my Droid 3 on asphalt and didn't get a scratch on the glass.
I dropped mine earlier and chipped it a little near the corner it landed on.. in one of the few places my shell leaves exposed. Fail.

So I know Zagg is a really nice screen protector. But, a buddy of mine got it and itdoesn't fit the screen perfectly since it was designed off of the original Bionic specs and not on the updated ones.
Therefore, are there other screen protectors that are just as reliable and fitted for the Bionic?

seriously? i already ordered one and im going to be mad if it doesnt fit right!!
They are already sending out the new redesign to retailers, I used the old one just fine. They sent me a replacement after I called them and told them about the screw up. It should be here early in the week.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
So I bought one today. It fits fine. Don't know if Best Buy received the updated protectors, but it looks like the reason it doesn't fill the screen is because of the slight bevel around the edge. I wasn't fully aware of the bevel until I looked close. I was too busy playing with all the features. LOL
I got a Zagg from best buy as well, and the image on the box looks like the old Bionic design, not the current one. It fits okay, leaving room for the light sensors and camera and such, and goes close enough to the edges of the screen for me. If they come out with a new design I'll just get Zagg to fulfill me a new screen.
Mine should be here early next week too

Guys, you really don't need screen-protectors. The Bionic has the same Gorilla Glass as the OG that many of use abused for almost 2 years without issues.
Watch any number of youtube videos about it. This is the one that convinced me that screen-protectors are a scam:

The selling of millions of something isn't evidence that something is necessary (i.e. not a scam) *cough*monstercables*cough*
But you're completely right - for many/most phones it probably makes sense; just not Bionic.
I ordered an XO Skins screen protector for my Bionic and it should come in this week. I have one on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and was very impressed with it. Heres my review for my SGT version if anyone is interested.

Gorilla glass isn't invincible. It's more about not shattering than it is about protecting scratches. I don't know about you, but getting a scratch on the screen is one of the worst things that can happen to one of my phones. It's like my eyes are drawn to the scratch.
Gorilla glass can definitely get scratched, but its hard to shatter like traditional screens.
Check out this "realistic scratch test" done on Gorilla glass. The phone drops and slides on the pavement which has definitely happened to me before. Even with gorilla glass, that screen gets messed up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EimSyAIuDoI
I used to think the same thing, that gorilla glass was invincible. Then, I scratched the eff out of my screen without a protector and vowed that I would never sacrifice a 600 dollar phone to save 15 bucks.
So, a 15 dollar screen protector is worth protecting a 600 device.
So many people think Gorilla glass is invincible, but its really not. It can be scratched quite easily. It might not break if you drop it, but it will definitely get scratched and I can't stand scratched screens!
Sand will scratch Gorilla Glass for sure. I had my OG for 2 years almost, and never got a major scratch, but when my Bionic came I went ahead and installed the screen protector that came with my Otterbox Commuter. I agree when you spend this much on a phone why chance it over 15 bucks or so.

I've not found anything better for protecting the screen than the Zagg product. Bubbles can be a problem when installing it but liberally misting the screen and both sides of the film when installing, plus repeatedly squeegying the bubbles from center to edge, gets rid of them.
Zagg film has a funky, sticky texture but you get used to it (if you don't want to replace another cracked screen). The Zagg film seems to protect best and it interferes least with touch-screen operation. In fact, on previous phones the Zagg film improved touch-screen functionality.

lol I was actually a big Zagg fan myself. Now my favorite screen protector is......
wait for it....
Gorilla Glass!
Yeah I know you can still scratch it, but I've come to the realization that I prefer not to mess with screen protectors. But if you do want one, I vote for Zagg as well. They are pretty hard to damage and the lifetime replacement is nice to have. As far as the feel...I have really oily skin, and I've noticed that it's a pretty good lubricant for the screen protector...ewww gross I know...but I wonder if there's something you can use to lube up the surface so it feels more like glass?
Anyway, I since grown tired of all the gunk and residue left behind from the Zagg shields. On my DINC there's gooey crap all over in the seem between the glass and the body of the phone. Seems like after about a month or 2 the edge of the Zagg shield starts to look like crap. So I've decided to go naked and just handle the phone more carefully. So far it's worked out for me.
Also FWIW, my friend just bought a replacement glass kit for his DINC for $11. Yeah I know it's an older phone, but if it ever came down to it, I think I'd rather buy a replacement screen for the Bionic than deal with the headache of protectors again.
I opt for the screen's own durability myself. I have only had it for a few days but I carried my Driod 1 around in the same pocket I keep my keys in and the thing never got a single scratch. Honestly I think a screen protector is a lot more trouble than it is worth.
I just get the ones VZW sells. They last forever, 3 in a pack and only use one for the life of the phone.
I like Zagg alot myself. I really don't worry that much about scratching. The finger print buildup drives me nuts. Zagg keeps that way down. I have one on my bionic and my xoom.

I got the 3 pack from Verizon when I bought mt Bionic. They probably aren't as good of protection but they feel like your touching directly on the screen. Also, don't get the anti glare ones from Verizon as they have a horrible feel to them. Worse than the Zagg.

The regular ones are pretty bad with prints, I'd say. My coworker has the anti-glare one and the feel/texture is unbearable!
The "normal"/Non-anti-glare ones are very smooth and, like I said above, pretty much feel like you are touching the touch screen directly.

I only use a screen protector to avoid smudges.
And yeah, they do feel weird, but after using them for a year or so - everything else feels weird! Zagg is definitely weird. My buddy has them on his Incredible and Tab. Not sure how I feel about them yet. They always look like crap.

I wrote to PPC Techs to see if they would be releasing a WriteShield for the Bionic. I used their stuff for the last 12 years on almost every phone I've had, and on my wife's iPad. They are tough as nails, piece of cake to apply and a good value. No response from them yet, but if enough people send emails, I'm sure they'd cut some to size and sell them.
Right now I have a Steinhall on mine and the fingerprints and smudges are minimal. They also make it in an anti-glare with a textured feel. Easy to install and once set you probably wont even notice it again.

Why do we need screen protectors?
It has gorilla glass, does exactly what screen protectors do, and still maintains the sensitivity...
Really believe glass covers on gorilla glass phones is a gimmick.
I prefer the Steinheil screen protectors. They cover the entire screen, and can be tricky to line up properly since the edge of the screen is beveled down slightly, but once installed correctly you can't even tell there is one on the phone. The Zagg products are good, but I prefer the smoothness of the Steinheil; it feels exactly the same as the screen itself.
Are the Steinheils of the type that you can remove, wash and replace? I can't seem to find a link for the Bionic version.
Just heard back from MIME. -
Apologies for the delayed response, we expect to have our LG G2 glass live on our site next week.

The side of the case was also popped off on the bottom corner when I picked the phone up. The screen was shattered though, sharp glass was sticking out and the screen wasn't responsive.
Just letting everyone who has that TPU case know what happened to me and why I am looking into buying a 'hard' screen protector for my new G2 now.

I am not sure that anyone can/will make one, since it might be really difficult to get glass to adhere to a curved screen..

Ok. That makes sense. lol Darn. Thanks
I think its still too early to assume there wont be any. What most of these accessory companies do now, is wait and see how popular a new phone becomes, before they bother to make anything for it.
Assuming this phone becomes really popular in the next month or so, I think there will be alot more "stuff" for it.
Its really only been out a month or so in the USA..
I'm kind of surprised what's out in stores already. I remember some stores wouldn't get cases for a month after the phone was out.
I got a Skinomi screen guard from Amazon. It Is the nicest protector I've ever used (and I've tried a lot of them). Crystal clear and virtually no orange peel effect. I paid like $5 plus $4 shipping which was super fast. I'm sorry, but i don't have a link. Just Google it. Should pretty easy to find.

Front and back? Was it easy to put on and does the phone feel less slippery? I read that one of the protectors was coming up on the corners.

I only bought the screen protector as I'm using a case. I can definitely believe that the corners would peel up on a full body protector. I've experienced that every time I ever used one of those. It was fairly easy to install but try do it somewhere where there's no dust as these are very staticy and instantly attract dust, pet hair, etc. ( I put mine on in the bathroom ) Skinomi's website had a link for a YouTube video with installation instructions.

these are vinyl, not glass..
Hoping ZAGG comes out with one but I doubt it. Their glass ones for the iPhone and S4 are flexible so they wouldn't be out of the question for the flex. Really easy to put on too as I've done a bunch for customers
sent from the new G Flex
Good news y'all. Bodyguardz has a tempered glass screen protector available now. I used their glass protector on my S4 and it was awesome. Already ordered one for my Flex.

40's not so bad when you consider it's got all the benefits of glass without the fingerprints :good: Same price I paid for the S4. I'll post again after I get it installed. Just ordered yesterday. Don't know how long they'll take for shipping.
