Hello people,
i am looking for a glass screenprotector with a colour (yellow?) But I cannot find any. All the items I see on ebay are either sold out or do not have the yellow colour
I would recommend staying away from the coloured glass protectors as they have not been given stellar reviews here on XDA. Most of the time it's the fact that the SPen doesn't work right or fitment, etc.
I think the company is called XGear.
XGear review link here
I can't find the site anymore but you can get them off ebay. There are a few distributors out of China that make what you're looking for but I would avoid them as I haven't read anything good about them.
I have one of those glass ones off of eBay, mine is black. I have a link in the screen protector reviews thread. Ive had it for a week and I have no issues with sensitivity or the s pen. However, the black around the edges is glittery, so its kind of a girly SP. Quality is there though.
One big deal though, the SP goes all the way to the edge. So your cases you may have may not work with it. I'm currently using a casemate tough case, but I can confirm both otter boxes, and the protective cover+ DO work with it. But your basic TPU cases will not.

Where did you get your screen protector from? Could you share a link please?

s pen is generally not affected by screen protectors. bring your s pen close to the screen, press down on the nib and move it around and you can draw without the s pen even touching the screen.
+1 for the 'Bulletproof" (Glasszone) SP
I've had two of these protects for two seperate phones and they are outstanding. I'm not sure where everyone is getting this speculation that glass screen protectors (particular the ones with colour outside the screen) affect the spen or touch sensitivity. It works PERFECTLY FINE. And it is the best likeness you will get to your bare naked screen. I will never go back to a none-glass screen protector. I bought this one:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-BULLETPR...var&hash=item3cccacdff8&_uhb=1#ht_12820wt_958
Which is essentially the same as this one that was posted earlier except different pricing/seller:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Galaxy-Note-...ar&hash=item23268cf7c6&_uhb=1#ht_10679wt_1163
Go for it, you won't regret it. Just a heads up though the screen protector does go all the way to the edge of your screen, but I haven't had any problems with my Incipio Dual Pro Shine case or my Seido Active. Also, your home button will be recessed since the glass is thicker, but you can easily buy a home button sticker on ebay (which IMO makes your phone look so much more bada**). I've yet to receive my Urban Armour Case so I can't say if it will fit on that. I'm sure it will though.

This I know, I just remember reading a few posts on the forums where people were having issues with some of the first Glass SP's. I'm using the MimeUSA one right now and came from a JLG that died recently. the XGEAR GSP or one of the other ones had some issues like fitment and general SPen problems. I'm sure they are fixed now though. Didn't want another user here to get steered towards a sub par product.
This is the protector I have.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/28103026339...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Best protector I've ever had on a phone. Solid black color with no glitter. Adhesive on the entire protector. Covers entire glass. I have a white note 2 but you can't tell at all.
Anybody know of a seller that has red colored ones in stock? (Reputable seller, of course.) That would make my Note 2 perfect!

Well, the one I got from MIME does not totally cover the screen either, but this one is 1/2 price. In addition, I don't like color edges because I want it 100% clear.
I got one from x gear a few days ago. I think it was called voyager 2. its white. Works great.

The reason why MIME one doesn't cover the whole screen is because they counted in that you will be using a body cover. So they wanted to make sure this wasn't a issue.

It's worse than what you said. It's like "lifting" because the edges (including home button) do not totally stick on the screen and leave air space around the screen protector.
I don't know whether mine is defective or something.

I have a friend who has the mime and he has issues with the defender case peeling up the sides. If its an adhesion problem, let them know. I'd think if you can show them pictures that they'll send you out a new one. Most of the "non zagg" companies try to provide the best customer service possible.
On another note, does the voyager 2 have glitter on the black? I'm seriously considering buying it because I'm tired of the glitter on my eBay one

I would say the type of adhesive MIME uses on the glass could a little more sticker. But then of course that could probably cause some issues. Also I noticed on some areas that the glue doesn't quite go to the edge of the glass.

I am really hoping I received a defective batch! I see the ISMOOTH has some good reviews and I have no idea why? I even went back to the box and made sure my ismooth was made for the note 2 cause I thought it was an error and meant for the note 1. Attached are some pics. As you can see it does not come close to edge to edge coverage. Or top to bottom for that matter...
There supposed to be like that cause of the curved screen on the note.

It looks like ir protects the screen just not the entire front. The reason its uneven on home button is from lookin at the 2 pics that shiw it on each side of screen. The protector was applied uneven. Its to far to the left

You're joking, right? Only a very select few screen protectors cover to the edge of the Note II. This is because of the curved glass on the Note II; the edges of the screen protector would never adhere to the curved part, and you'd be replacing them in a matter of days because they'd peeled up.
Please read at the least pinned screen protector review thread, which mentions this several times, before slamming a screen protector with a ridiculous complaint based upon your not reading.
*Edit: And based upon your asymmetric installation.

I am not joking at all! My ismooth is nothing like the one in the installation video. Mine did not have the greenish cover to make sure it alligns properly. Yes, my ismooth is installed a little to the left but that still doesnt come near the left edge. I am coming from a tech armor which covers the whole screen
The ones with the greenish cover are the bad ones. You want the newer ones with no green cover.

My ismooth was a top install and not a bottom istall like the video. If it was too far to the left then this top would look horrible!

Then why post if you deny the replies. The curved glad part will make your screen protector peel if it stretches across the whole glass. Not to mention if you use a case those will peel it off if you use a good case.

And those are all non traditional (peel and stick) installs. Plus, the s-pen literally annihilates those. I got a Zagg HD when I got this phone. It was so marred in 3 weeks that the Zagg kiosk that I bought it from let me flat out return it!
Sure, these don't go to the edge of the screen.If you want one that does, search for the Voyager 2 by xgear. After shipping its around $40 but it looks awesome. I have a Chinese knockoff that works great too, but the black has glitter which is very annoying so it is not on my phone right now.
Out of dry, traditional installs, iSmooth is the best bang for your buck. Quality of SGP ultra crystal (or at least the next best thing to it), the rainbow effect isn't too bad on it since its a horizontal rainbow throughout, and it has a lifetime warranty even if you screw up the install.

You see, the Note 2 (and*Galaxy S3) phones are very difficult when it comes to Screen Protectors. As you probably know, the very edges of these Samsung phones are curved and due to the curve,*it creates issues with "lifting." *Not on all the phones, just a small percentage of them (~%5).
I am looking forward to receiving these that cover the whole screen.
Thanks for all your valuable input everybody.

I made my decision to buy this product based on a YouTube video I watched. But thanks so much for your advice to read the sticky. I enjoy this website but I don't read every sticky post. You are doing a great job as forum moderator

FYI for those that care, these are wet application protectors. I personally do NOT like wet application protectors.

How clear is the screen protector & does it peel off at the edges if you place the phone in your pocket a few times?
ordered a few, this actually don't last long but will hold me until a great tempered glass comes out.

Not at all. It is applied with water. So it doesn't come off at all.
FYI. I ordered an Exo Skin the same time as this. the Exo Skin has already arrived and been installed while this hasn't even shipped yet.
And that's with the extra $.99 for "priority" processing.
Tell you what, the clarity, feel and resistance to fingerprints/oils of these is much better than VZW ones. I ordered two last week at regular price and received them in 4 days. I ordered a few more at this price.

Pretty much covers whole screen except camera/sensor/notification light/earpiece. It goes edge-to-edge which may be a problem with some cases. Though I find these wet application protectors are not as prone to having edges pushed up by cases since they adhere better to the screen. Haven't had an issue with my diztronic case and this screen protector.

I purchased some of these protectors and installed them on my G2. The feel is good, installation was typical of a soft film protector. I installed the screen guard and back skin two days ago, and have noticed a problem.
On my screen I noticed what appeared to be scratches. I was afraid I scratched the glass before I installed the protector. The scratches run in the long direction of the screen and vary from 1/16th to 3/8ths of an inch long and are about 1 to 2 pixel rows wide, and are randomly located all over the screen..
On closer inspection I noticed on the back skin a number of scratches that look just like the defects I see in the screen. These did not show up until last night, so I have to conclude that they are defects in the adhesive application from manufacturing, that did not show up until the moisture from the protector installation had evaporated. I was getting ready to return the phone as defective until I noticed the same defects on the back skin.
I only paid $2 for the set, so still a good deal. But slightly annoying.
Definitely worth two bucks
I've had mine applied for over 3 days now, long enough that I can give a decent opinion of the product. As other members said, these are wet application protectors, and I was concerned when mine showed up in a plain white envelope SOAKING wet. Luckiky it didnt seem to have any impact on the installation. I've applied dozens of wet application protectors, and this was no easier or harder than the rest. There is a very slight orange peel texture visible (nowhere near Zagg level), but i can not feel it. The fit is great, leaving no gap on either side of the screen, and an uncovered area at the top and bottom about the thickness of my thumbnail (it looks like it would accommodate a Ringke Slim-type case if one became available without touching the protector). It is physically tackier (or less smooth) than higher end films, but not unbearably so. The fit of the back cover is acceptable, and does WONDERS for the G2s normally slick back. You will want to do as the instructions say and let the pieces that apply to rounded areas dry completely before trying to stick down. My only real complaint is that almost all edges have no bevel or taper to them, attracting lint and just feeling odd when you touch them, like you might accidentally lift an area up (which hasnt heppened, once dried, it feels very secure, but it's always in the back of my mind).

Take a look at the screen when it is displaying a white or grey background, and look for rainbowy/glimmery lines running the long direction of the phone, They are hard to see until you notice one, then you will see them all over. I ordered two sets of protectors, I'm hoping this one is an oddball. If you don't see the lines I might install the other set. You have to look very carefully for them.
Hi, I've tried a few screen protectors now, but every time I put on my case it peels back the protector bc it's too close to the edges of the phone.
Does anyone know of any screen protectors that are meant for the G2 with a normal case on?

What kind of screen protectors have you used and what kind of case do you have?
Generally it shouldn't be much of a problem for the LG G2 since the screen protectors are usually cut "too small" due to the curved glass near the edges.
I GreatShield anti-glare screen protectors (PET) and they fit perfectly with my Spigen Slim Armor case.

Don't have a link because I'm too lazy to find it but honestly, it should be the same no matter which protector you buy. At this point I don't know of any brand that makes a protector for the G2 that goes to the edges of the screen.
I bought my protector off Amazon, I just went with the cheapest one.

They make one that is cut smaller to accommodate cases. I like that it is wet application too. Easier to slide around and get the placement perfect than dry application types.

Dude, you should by the one I linked above. It's pretty much edge to edge.

Interesting... I might try it after I use up my current screen protectors.
This is the screen protector I got.
I definitely don't recommend the anti-glare screen protectors though since they appear to pixelate your screen. Bought an anti-glare screen protector at the same time from Fosmon and it was the same as well.

Hi, I've tried a few screen protectors now, but every time I put on my case it peels back the protector bc it's too close to the edges of the phone.
Does anyone know of any screen protectors that are meant for the G2 with a normal case on?

i have used the puregear and tuda and feather light case with this matte screen protector which i love! no problems... just make sure you center it spot on..if not you will have problems
Evecase Screen Protector Variety Pack with 2x Clear and 2x Anti-Glare Matte Film for LG G2 amazon
Get the Skinomi TechSkin, edge-toedge, wet apply and its great, i have it with the full body carbon fiber skin also.
Obliq Pure Crystal + Diztronic TPU case, very tight tolerances. Took me three times to get it put down right, each time was just a hair off, but enough that squeezing the case on the side popped up the edge of the protector.
Even my third try wasn't perfect, it was still popping up a little in one place, but this morning it has gone away. I'll keep an eye on it, I figured I was going to be trying it once more today.
Otherwise, it was an easy placement, looked even on sides, just a hair off. But that's all it takes
On my Galaxy Nexus, was told by Ghost Amour to just trim the edges a bit and that solved the case problem for me. I think you could use any protector if you did this.

Are the Evecase Screens case friendly?
yes just make sure you make them close to center perfect as possible; I'm using the matte ones; they give you two matte and two clear; dont matter what brand; I even spent $13 on the SPG clear HD one; and it still feels sticky like a zagg ; IMO matte is the only way to go; but there is a Lil pixelation; cause of the matte; but its a fare trade off;
p.s. dont forget to place screen protector about about 1mm below the VZW logo ; like the top edge of the protector should be at the i of the Verizon logo

I use my wife's small paper cutter she uses for scrap booking, because I am terrible with scissors. I skipped a grade in school at an early age when they taught how to use scissors, and never really learned to do it correctly! lol!!

I go jogging with a few in each pocket, one in my left hand. I hear that's the safest way to transport them about.

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.

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

Did you have an image? I was thinking of getting this and want to see how bad it is.

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

Lol too funny ...... Well my zagg didn't last too long ouch , Haven't taken it off yet but I think my screen is still good I hope
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
