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.....
Hi.
I was wondering if anyone have tried the official HTC double dip case(hard shell) with a full body protector for the m7 like this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BI3NL0E?pc_redir=1406928374&robot_redir=1
Since the double dip case scratches the phone. I was wondering if the full body protector prevent scratches and does the protector fit in the case or does it pill off.
Thanks

I put an xtremeguard on the back of my one in April of 2013 and it's still on their. I use an otterbox commuter over it and the phone still looks new. I prefer the HI-DEF Screen Protector they sell on the front.

I am using the official double dip case. It scratched my phone very lightly near the top speaker, probably some dirt inside when removing/installing the case. Phone still looks like new, but the case itself looks really bad now:laugh:. a matte finish isnt ideal for a case.... especially if your job require you to use greases and oil lol
Hi All,
My preferred phone protection is to have a tempered glass screen protector and silicone case. Saved my old phone from bad damage a couple times while bouncing on the street.
Now... the challenge I have with the P9000 is that the silicone case that came with the phone doesn't go 'over' the edges of the tempered glass protector and pushes it off.
rather annoying!
Ordered some other silicone cases on Aliexpress but the same problem.
Anybody found a nice case that does the trick? Tried 'heat stretching' the case a bit for a better fit but no luck so far.
thanks!

yup same problem. i cut the case a bit and now it dont look nice . but it works.
Hi.
My problem was that one corner of the glass doesn't stick to the LCD. After I applied the silikoncase it fits.
I have the case that come with the phone.
I stretched it a little bit over the corners of the phones without heat.

Had the same issue what you need to do is force phone by slotting it into case then pull the lip over the screen protector. Do this to all corners and you'll have no issues.

Congrats on having it fixed without any drastic measures! I went the 'cutting route' for now since I had to replace the screen protector and didn't want to risk another one.
But I've got another set of silicone cases coming from aliexpress to check if they are a bit better!
I've got 2 P9000's (one for me one for my girlfriend) so actually I already wrecked 2 screen protectors.
Same problem here. Original case and aliexpress case. No luck.
i bought the official flip case and tempered glass.
tried the case first which fit but found the buttons a bit hard to press.
if you fold the case front behind the phone the camera is blocked also.
could view the on screen clock and notifications through the case screen window.
once applied the tempered glass the phone wouldn't recognize the flip case, so when i closed it over the screen remained on and the case window became useless.
this company do nothing right do they.
Had to struggle the same problem, but now i could fix it.
Just make sure the glass is positioned in centre on the screen. When putting on the case, make sure the case slips properly over the first 3 corners. For the last one, you can use any tool (i a used knife, but be careful ) to overlap the edge of the silicon case with the tempered glass.
No matter what I did, it wouldn't do it without lifting the glass

I have the same issue (sometimes) with matte film protectors and the standard case.
Always on the top right corner for me - where I've got fractionally less unprotected screen , so maybe very precise alignment of the screen protector would help you?
Pulling the case over the edge of the screen with my fingernails was enough for me
Cut the flip in the flip-case.

Cut the flip in the flip-case. Just kepping the hard back. This way you can use the glass and have back protection. I did this and works fine.
I use this glass protector - http://www.ebay.com/itm/282044598237?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
there is a space between the silicon case and the glass so they don't touch each other

The hard back in the flip case is useless. Too fragile, corners and button covers break easily, my P9000 fell just once not too hard and the screen left upper corner broke. Silicone cover is better protection
u can use scotch tape on the bottom corners of the glass to stop it from lifting, funny idea but works, if u want to save a new case cost.
HI folks, I've found the back of my X Compact to be pretty bad at collecting scratches - much worse than my Lumia 720 (wish more manufacturers would copy that design idea of a replaceable body!!) Anyway, I want a protective and/or grippy sticker of some sort. Ebay and Amazon have nothing to offer so far as I can tell, apart from metal plates for magnetic dash mounts. Any ideas? I would have thought there would be some kind of rubber sticker you could buy but no luck. Any ideas?

Just type xperia x compact skinobi in amazon. They make full body skins for the phone. I think amazon only carries the clear and carbon fiber one though. You can also google skinobi and their website will pop up with more styles/options.

Hi,
in germany there is a frim which produce curved foil for the front and backside :
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XZCD6ZG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The problem is, that die foil isnt hard. So if you have bubbles under the foil and you press to much, the foil get damaged. I try ist with a little less power and the last bubbles gone away from semself after 2 days. It protects the full screen und full backcover.
Greetings Kullino
I got this skin for the back of my phone, which makes it much easier to hold and resists fingerprints a lot better than the shiny back. It also came with stickers for the sides, but I just used the one for the back, which adds texture and friction.

sorry this took so long, here's the back sticker. I've actually now put on the additional ones on the sides for extra friction in my car dock (it was sliding down with each bump, but holds better now)

Very late response, but I've been using TPU case which protects back, sides, and gives a very small lip on front to keep screen off flat surface if laid on face.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M1HIQ5C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
case is soft and grippy, very happy with the result after 6 months.
very inexpensive <$10.
No need; apply wax polish. I used Novus Fine Scratch Remover (#2), but I would think car wax would work just as well. I used it to remove some marred patches from when I dropped the phone on hardwood floor and it skidded a bit, and not only did those patches disappear, but so did the fine scratches.
I don't think this would be wise for the screen, however, as it would probably harm the oleophobic coating.
Even though the back is glass and there is protection from external case, anyone installed a protector in the back (film, glass, or anything material)
Any brands or suggestions?
thanks a million.
I use this, but I also have a skin, and a case haha so probably a little overkill but I don't want to damage this thing. If I could wrap a pillow around it I would. https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32832315490.html?spm=a2g0n.search-cache.0.0.30c0f4f1MpT7WO#autostay
Yeah, me really thinking about getting one for the back as well, prefer glass type.

For the back, i know that there is lots of film ones. Some sites in other languages sell glass ones but it doesn't look trustworthy and there maybe shipping problems ..
Just trust the robots at dbrand. Best back skins around, look cool also!

Well you asked and that's where I got mine, and had no issues, just like buying from eBay. I also have a skinomi full skin on it.
I installed a full body skinomi, good for protecting back from dust and sand particles that inevitably will get between the case and the back of the phone, these particles trapped this way cause a lot of damage

Agreed. Hated the way my note 3 looked after a case. Resale should be much easier with a near perfect phone.

Did u get a glass protector in front and fits in your case too?
No, because I have bad experiences in the past with cristal protectors that never fit really well with curved screens
2nd for the dbrand dragon skin. Also adds some friction for holding the phone without adding any thickness
I ordered 2 slickwraps Note 8 naked series for the back. One glossy and one Matte. They are regularly 15.95 each but they have a 50% off sale going now with the code Apocalypse so I bought both for 15 bucks to try them out.

Is the Glossy one completely transparent? The pics on website show a black tint which covers mirror shine. What about the sides and top & bottom?
Don't like the skinomi cuz u have to spray & spray.

The glossy is completely transparent. It's a thick plastic, though, and you need a ton of solution to get it on, etc. It only comes with the back pieces, they don't seem to have a kit for the Naked series.

"need solution" means you have to add the glue yourself? does it cover all the way to the edges?
I know Rhinoshield makes one, not glass, and it doesn't go all the way to the edges.

It goes all the way to the edges but it's not glue, its just a soap and water mix they give you in a spray bottle.

Thats the same way you apply the skinomi stuff, but their clear wraps are not transparent. I want the peel & stick type. I'll check in other places to see.

I got a wet applied screen protector for the back. I want to maintain the look of the back without covering it with a skin. This is the one I have and works perfectly with my Lumion case. (I imagine it would work with any case) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07516Y9B5/ref=crt_ewc_title_gw_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AZPYIARPTPBOT
For those without back protectors but use a case, the back will still get scratched easily. On my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, the glass back had tiny scratches even if I kept the phone in a case all the time. Tiny dust particles still managed to get trapped between the glass back and the case. A back protector is a must if you want to maintain the pristine condition of the back glass.
Slickwraps plus spigen
Bought a slikwraps skin and a spigen clear case.
Slickwraps as usual is a pain in the butt to install and they always take 2+ days to ship the item from the moment you buy them but is till prefer their designs.
Spigen iv'e use them since my s6 and i always liked them, past spigen clear cases turn yellow after some time, i'm hoping this ones won't since it says they have improved the yellowish thing happening.
