[Q] Otterbox owners do you have this like I do?

Hi everyone. Today I got my otterbox defender case. Everything good except for the screen protector. It has an area in the middle, which when touches to the screen makes it appear to have something like an Oil stain on the asphalt:

But very light version of it. It can be very annoying in the bright light.
Does anyone else experiencing it?

Nope. That's not normal!
I removed the screen protector from mine anyway.

Ow I didnt know that it is removable. I did it and put custom screen protector. Works super

Yes I do too.
I have had a my defender for about a week and I have had that same problem since about the third day.

yeah, it looks like an oil stain but i think it's actually electricity or something. the way to fix it is to either add a screen protector or to very lightly dust the area with baby powder.

If you pull the screen protector out of the Defender case, then if you drop the phone on it's face you may break the screen instead of the Defender protector. The Amazon review has a complaint from someone who had this very thing happen - he was complaining that one could not order a replacement screen protector (and this after it saved his phone)...

If i got you right then that is moisture that builds up and you just open it a bit against a clean breeze i.e partly open the case to allow wind to flow through and hold it out of your car window while you drive around. The wind will pick up all the moisture

Logically, if you're dropping your phone in a fashion where some corner is impacting the screen, then it'd go right through that plastic either way.
The plastic is basically a scratch prevention device. Any serious impact would pass through it like a second board under a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

I'm just quoting the experience of a reviewer I read. His otterbox screen protector broke, but the screen on his HD2 did not. The fact that the otterbox screen protector broke indicates it is not merely plastic.
I don't know if I agree with your statement. If you look closely, the otterbox plastic protector has what appears to be reinforcements running through it; it is not just plain plastic. It only shows up in certain lights and at certain angles.

I have two of those now and I can say that the plastic film is bending easy, which means it will bend under the hit. I actually use a screen protector film and OtterBox's protector at the same time.

I also use a screen protector, because it cuts down on the problem of having the plastic touch the glass screen.

I own also an Otterbox Defender Case und use it with HD2, without problem as described above. I use the original screen protector slide on HD2 (between original screen and Otterbox screen protectr)

Screen protector with otterbox?

Does anyone know if a Tempered Glass screen protector would work with a Otterbox Defender(with the Otterbox screen pushed out). I like the MIME Tempered Glass screen protector but dont know if it will work with a Otterbox Defender and not have any gaps between the edge and the case.

I have the defender case with an anti glare SP on and it seems to work great... I'm not too sure about the tempered glass ones, but with this SP, it doesn't fully cover up to the edges, but the case covers those areas perfectly... I'm really happy I got rid of the crappy otterbox SP

If by "pushing the screen out" you mean removing the plastic film covering the screen then I think it should work. I can confirm a perfect fit for the Commuter, but with a Defender im guessing the MIME would be a little bit too thick

Yes i mean take out the Otterbox Screen protector and putting a tempered glass on in its place, im just worried about the tempered glass protector will not go under the Defender cases edges around the phone so its sealed from debris and stuff. If its too think i can shave off a little bit of the underside of the case if needed to get a good fit but i really dont want to do that. Ive just heard and read that the tempered glass is better for a Note 2 than a zagg because of the s pen can cause the zagg to mess up.

I think there would be problems using a MIME glass with a defender. Some parts of the case will be covering the glass protector. Im not so sure about the edges of the phone, but Im pretty sure you would have problems with the top parts, where the front facing camera and the sensors are placed.

I have a MIME ghost glass SP with a defender and it works perfectly. Yes the top part of the glass is covered by the front of the case buts it better since it creates a seal like the original sp did.

Can you post pics? I would like to see, ive read and heard that Otterbox was going to revise the Defender for the Note 2 but havent heard anything from them or seen anything about what they are going to do to it. I love my Otterbox Defender but the screen lets too much dust and debris under it, i cleaned it a few minutes ago with a micro fiber cloth and i already have a little bit of dust under it.
Also how are you liking the battery mod you have done?

Hi people, i just registered here to share my somewhat of a solution to the defender screen protector problem on the Note 2. It still shouldnt be like this after spending this kind of money on a case, but still its way better than stock.
I got my defender knowing about the screenprotector problem but I found it to be the only case protective enough for my liking.
I believe the problem comes from a combination of the substantial amount of glue between the frame and the protector, and the curved screen. I believe the glue pushes the protector down towards the edges of the screen, making the middle of the protector pop up along the sloping screen, so it actually lifts away from the screen in the middle.
What I did was very simple. I first popped the protector out of the frame. I did this with my hands without heating it because its a very flimsy and weak connection anyway. For those afraid to break it you could heat it up with a hair dryer first.
Then next thing i removed pretty much all of the glue, but i didnt wipe the 2 parts clean, leaving bits of what you could describe as a very thin anti-slip layer.
Next thing i had the phone in the rear part of the case, aligned the detached screen protector with a clean screen, and gently clicked the top frame on.
This leaves me with a very snug fitting protector that is not moving at all. I will post an update if this proves to be a short term thing but so far its doing great.
Eli.

Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Fits the Urbane perfectly, easy to put on, only $10. It's nothing super special but it does the trick (It is made for the LG Watch R but it fits the Urbane).
I don't like screen protectors very much but my buddy sent me a pic of his Sony Watch 3 which would have been scratched/gouged beyond repair had it not been for some crappy protector he put on it.
I'm pretty rough on watches and figured I better get this before I fcuk it up

Have you had it on for a little while now? How is it holding up? Is it exactly the size of the Urbane screen or does it leave a lip? Fingerprint magnet?
Thanks!

It's held up well and has done it's job. I hit the face of my watch on a table corner which cracked the glass protector but did no damage to screen.
I had to order a new protector so I decided to get the flimsy rubery one just to try something different. I had it on my watch for about a week and then reordered a glass protector. The ruber one really got in the way of the touch sensitivity and took away the nice feel of solid glass.
I ordered a second glass protector which I managed to crack while installing it toy watch. This was my fault. I wanted to get it lined up perfectly so I added, removed, pushed, etc the glass screen protector a lot which eventually cracked it. Again this was my fault. Ordered a third glass protector and installed it without issue. Still have it on now.
Only complaint is that the edges haven't stayed perfectly flush with the bezel of the watch. This is very hard to notice doesn't effect the usability. I've ecided to live with this slight imperfection mainly because I do not want to get another protector if I break it
I will totally buy again if I needed to.

Pics please!
I would like to see how noticeable the screen protector is and also how big the gap between the glass and bezel is.
Thanks in advance.

Here you go

Those are some pretty deep gouges on the bottom of the case, have you found a product to take those out? I have some minor ones on mine now.

I'm pretty sure what you're seeing are partial fingerprints. Looking at watch now and dont have any gouges.

I got one from Montong on amazon, fits my Urbane perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ne tempered&qid=1447700538&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2

I bought this screen protector and it's not quite large enough. I was wondering if that's pretty much how they all are, or if someone could recommend one that fits better. It's also not that great with the fingerprints. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Has anyone found ones that are slightly larger? Are they a bit smaller so that they can be removed, if need be?
How are they with fingerprints? And, how come it doesn't appear to be a perfect circle - there seems to be one spot where there is a little corner/protrusion. Are they easy to install centered well?

Does anyone have the "Skinomi TechSkin™" screen protector? How does it fair versus a glass screen protector?

So, I just got a brand new LG Watch Urbane. I am about to open the box, attach a nice metal band to it, and I don't know whether or not I should install a glass screen protector I bought for it.
What is the glass on the LG Watch Urbane made from? Is it Corning Gorilla Glass?
I baby my devices and I am very careful with them. All of my phones and tablets have screen protectors and heavy duty cases. I am not clumsy at all, but I like to be preventative for any potential mishaps that could arise.
My dilemma is that I don't know whether or not I should put a glass screen protector on my watch because it will certainly change the look of it and I'm not sure placing the screen protector on it is actually going to protect it much more than it is already protected on its own.
Please tell me your thoughts. Thank you.

Back from the dead!
I've banged mine into various pieces of metal while working on cars, and drug a piece of sheetmetal (a roof ridge vent) across my Urbane - which saved my arm from what I imagine would've been an uncomfortable experience. The bezel has a few little scratches, but the screen has none. If you're actually reasonably careful with things (like, have never broken a watch face before), then I'd leave the protector off, as you'll just end up with an ugly sticky edge on a protector (which is probably weaker than the screen glass itself) for no particularly good reason.

I bought an IQShield clear full body skin from Amazon. I'm wondering if I would be better off installing the clear skin to everything but the screen, and getting a glass screen protector. The skin/protector is "self-healing" plastic-stuff. Looking at the install videos, I have to spray stuff on it, and then let it cure overnight. I think it's a little overkill. I don't know. I see a bunch on amazon with lifetime warranties.

Screen Protector still necessary? Is there a foil over the screen?

Do you think it is still necessary to set on a Screen Protector? Because it has Gorilla Glass 5.
I come from Z1 Compact and there the only reason putting on a Screen Protector was the ugly foil sony put over the Gorilla Glass.
Does XZ1 Compact has an extra foil like the Z1 Compact?

No, Sony got rid of that film layer a couple of generations back.
No matter how many numbers they slap onto the marketing name Gorilla Glass, it's still glass.
IMO cheap glass screen protectors are still a better option than having to replace the phone's screen when the inevitable scratches accumulates past my tolerance limit, which would be extremely inconvenient and potentially costly.
My phone lives most of its days in my pocket with no other objects, and curiously still manages to get scratches on the "9H scratch resistant Gorilla Glass level tempered glass" screen protectors that I use.
Maybe it's because the screen protectors have bogus claims, but that's enough to get me wary of going full on naked. Referring to the phone, of course.

That's because screen protectors are plastic.
I took the film cover off my girlfriends Z1c screen two years ago, it lives in her pocket or handbag (without any other objects). It's still looks perfect and no scratches or marks. The only thing that will scratch glass is something harder than glass, which you should never get if the phone lives in a soft cloth pocket. The only time you're likely to scratch it is when you put it down and pick it up off a hard surface, like, err, concreate or a metal table
I think the primary use for screen protectors is the slightly reduced chance of the screen cracking if you drop it face down. I don't think modern gorilla glass sctraches, it just shatters.

Uh, no, there are screen protectors made out of glass. Now whether or not they are of high quality glass is another issue, which is what I was skeptical of, but there is no doubt the one I'm using (and others I've used in the past) is glass not plastic.
The last time I used plastic screen protectors was years ago, when glass screen protectors were not very common and too expensive.

Find a spare old one and put a lighter to it, it's plastic

I don't think the lighter is a foolproof way of checking, glass screen protectors actually have multiple layers with the glass portion sandwiched in-between, so depending on what the external layers are composed of, it will probably exhibit different behavior.
In any case, I don't have any spare old ones, they go straight to the trash once they're at end of life, and it's not necessary to buy extras, they're easily accessible.
Let me ask you instead, would plastic material shatter? Would it crack or chip like glass? I don't think so. But some of my previous glass screen protectors have.
There's also the feel and touch of the glass material that no plastic can ever mimic.
Maybe there aren't any real glass screen protectors where you live, but here they're abundant and extremely common, sold everywhere and in use by like everyone.
If they weren't really glass, surely someone qualified would have already exposed the scam, since they cost more than regular film screen protectors.
Unless you're working in the industry or with proof otherwise, I have a hard time believing you.

I believe you, it's glass sandwiched in plastic, so it's still plastic on the front and not glass, it's going to scratch and look rubbish.

No, I never said it was sandwiched in plastic, I said it was multilayered. That does not make it plastic or non-glass.

I don't see any benefit to continuing the "debate", so this will be my last response to you.
If you still want to believe glass screen protectors are plastic in some way or form, feel free to believe that, but please back up your claims instead of spreading misleading information.

If it was glass it wouldn't get scratches. Obviously there's some sort of coating on the glass that shows marks.
Edit: so in answering the question of the thread. No I don't think you need screen protectors to stop scratches. I still have a Z1c that's had two years of no screen protector and it looks like its come out of the box. Screen protectors might reduce your chances of a broken screen if you throw it at the ground face first, but it's a small %.
Screen protectors don't make your screen look good, because even the fancy glass ones have a plastic coating that scratches and looks rubbish after no time.

ALWAYS! I've still got the plastic protector on mine as I've messed about looking for a proper protector and noticed today it's got the slightest of gouges and I've no idea how it happened. Scratch resistance isn't scratch proof and is only takes the one incident to ruin a factory installed screen forever so never take any chances with my screens.

FYI when a glass protector is labeled as 9H it doesn't mean a 9 on the mohs hardness scale. It means it claims that it's as hard as a 9H pencil

Thx 4 your feedback! i guess ill put one onto but its hard to find a good one for the silver edition

Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite screen protector

I'm surprised at how good this screen protector is. It comes with a plastic guide that goes on your phone and makes sure the glass lines up perfectly. It comes with 2 kits that include wet and dry cleaning cloths, dust removal stickers, and the glass screen protectors.
This package also includes a protective sticker for the back of the phone. I'm using a case, so I'm not going to use the sticker, but it's nice that they included it.
Finger print scanner works like normal. My phone case fits like normal and I can barely see that there's a screen protector on my phone. This is a way better purchase than I expected. Much higher quality than I expected.
The only thing I'm unsure of is the protector for the camera. I haven't been able to test it out in daylight to see if it shows up in the photos. Only 1 lens protector is included. My case sort of protects the lenses, so worst case I just remove the lens protector.

Do you guys realize it's kinda pointless to use screen protectors on Gorilla Glass 5, not to mention camera lens which is covered with sapphire glass.. you wouldn't be able to scratch it even if you tried.

i am more worried about dropping it, that amoled costs about half the phone in here

From where are you guys buying screen protector for this device?

Thanks for this tip, exactly as you described. Usually these things end up in the bin. Didn't even need to re do finger print , no rainbowing, full adhesive. Top notch. Sacked of camera piece as didn't take but wasn't bothered anyway.

I can't appreciate on the pictures, is it with frame or clear edges?

Glass is all clear, no frames.
I also have this screen protector. No need to manual adjust the screen protector just put the guide on your phone then place the screen protector. Voila, perfect fit!
Best combination for me is this screen protector + xundd beatle case.

Hi all !
Also bought this glass kit and must say first impression is positive compared with hydrogel foil and some noname glass.
Transparent, no fingerprint, great feeling under finger, case friendly cut BUT view screwed when wear polarised sunglasses.
