Anyone know of a Glass Screen Protector that follows the curvature of G4's display assembly by default?
Also, I've seen some expensive screen protection that goes over the light sensor & front camera sensor. For anyone who has those, did you encounter any problems using it?
The G4 screen isn't curved. You can get screen protectors off eBay for like £2 which don't cover the light sensor etc. And they're good quality at £2
yootech has always served me well, you can find it on amazon or ebay

The screen assembly follows the curve of a circle with a radius of 3,000mm (or about 118 inches). That means that unless we’re talking about a much larger device – something tablet or even TV-sized – you’re not going to notice the extent of the curvature nearly as much.
LG G4 is just a more subtle variant of LG G Flex.
Also, look. I've already bought a screen protector that is straight. If I place it for application, the gap is obvious. Not adamant about finding a curved one, just curious.

The curve on the phone is so slight that a flat tempered glass screen protector will easily bend to accommodate the curve and not fall off. Here is the screen protector I used on my last LG G4 and just ordered a new one yesterday for my replacement coming in a day.

I really like the Yootech one because it has cutouts for the light sensor and speaker grill up top. It also fits really nicely around the edges leaving almost no extra space.
Any screen protector will the G4 the one I'm currently using is Tech21 love it super durable

Time to revive a old threD. the screen curvature is enough that all flat temp glasses are under stress when installed. Ive had 4 diffrent ones on mine. And all of them with the slightest impact have cracked. In various places.

I have dropped my phone a few times and know someone else who has the same screen protector as me and theirs only shattered when he dropped a bare phone on straight concrete from above table height. His screen protector shattered, but screen stayed perfect.
Are you getting thin ones for the cheapest you can find? Check out the Yootech one. It is around $8, but has worked the best out of a few different ones I have tried. It also has the best fit with the right openings for the camera, sensors and headset speaker.

Also look at bumper cases. Not the aluminum ones though. They are only a few bucks and give you a little extra protection.
I ise zagg and another company i was giving about 25 bucks for them. Also my screen made it just fine til today. I use a otter box defender as a case.
Im screen shopping rite now i dropped it from about 5 foot rite on a rock lcd and touch is good just shattered outside glass
I'ved used two screen protectors on my G4. Supershieldz $6-7 the other was free from maxxboost. The maxboost one cracked when i dropped the phone face down on office carpet, they replaced it under lifetime warranty no charge. The supershieldz one seems more durable, but thats just a feeling, nothing empirical.. I did not notice the curvature of the screen at all until I ran into this thread, I still don't. Is it curved up or down ?

If phone is laying on its back its curved up. set it on the edge of a counter glas down and youll see that the middle of the glass does not touch the counter unles the counter is warped to.
Hey guys, I am going to buy a G4 tempered glass protector but where I live Yootech is not available so I had to pick an "eProte" one.
It is almost identical to Yootech's one except for the 0.33mm thickness vs yootech's 0.28mm... Do you think it will have any negative impact on screen brightness and/or color accuracy?
Thanks
Shouldnt i had one on my g3
.5mm. And it was decent

How about GLASS4M? http://glass4m.com/product/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-lg-g4/

I got mine in the mail yesterday,and bought the ivoer screen protector on Amazon.Carefully packaged with a nice little kit, including a dust removing tape, alcohol wipe and screen cleaning cloth. Instructions were clear and direct and installation was a snap. None of the stupid bubbles that you get from the screen protectors. Tactile feel is perfect, and response from the phone after installation is unchanged and very responsive. The screen itself is high quality and flawlessly clear, the cutouts fit the phone (around the camera, speaker, etc) perfectly. Due to the phone having a slight curve towards the edge, there is no way to make glass bend that way so you will have a small (appx 1/8th inch) space where the protector ends and the phone continues. If you have a case on the phone, you will barely notice. I paid $35 to have one of these installed at Verizon on a G3, and if anything I think this $12 beauty looks even better. Just take your time to install it, and make sure you wash your hands clean of any oils before beginning. I installed it in about 60 seconds. Adhesive will not fully grip until you press it down firmly and really make sure it is on there, so you can adjust the fit if your aim is off.
Here I share the picture that have installed the screen protector, it shows very smooth and clear,It's all perfect!!
Here's an observation I made. And it's kind of how I judge the quality before I purchase. The Droid turbos corners are not A straight 90 degree. It tapers down and then 90s across to a slight taper. You can tell the cheap glass screen protectors because they're not cut to this taper. They come straight down and then they 90.
Example.. The first one is your ivoer.
The second is one of the mime protector someone posted in the other thread.
You can clearly see what I'm talking about. So with that, the ivoer is much more impressive to me. Thanks for the info on its quality. I'll be buying one. =)
It is the small attention to details that can show the difference between someone who took just the dimensions. And someone who actually sized up to the phone itself
I ended up pulling the trigger for the mime ghost glass and just saw this post. I guess I will stick with it and see.

Yse, I have never had a screen protector as easy to apply and without bubbles.It fit the phone very well,this is the best source for for protecting the face of a cell phone.
I'm going to pull the trigger but Did you get the .2 or the .3 thickness?
Well got the .2 ivoler one for 12 bucks and what a freaking turd it is. It's no where cut right and is way to big for the phone. It not only hangs off the bottom but the top as well. Send them an email to see what they are going to do about it.

You should have stuck with the mime. It's such a breeze to install. Plus its case friendly too. The adhesive sticks automatically to the screen as much as possible.

I agreed. Got this response from ivoler:
Hello
Based on the photo you sent is, you fit is correct. Please be reminded that the Droid Turbo does have curved edges on all four edges, and as the tempered glass screen protector is flat therefore it is designed to only able to cover the flat part of the screen.
Thank you
So clearly they think it is supposed to be lifted off the screen to help collect dust. Lol. I am going to take it off and send it back to Amazon and buy the mime. What a waste and a crappy company.
These are the pictures I even sent them that they state is correct fitment. The best part is that they claim it is rounded edges but they are sharp as hell. I guess you get what you pay for. Mime here I come.
Just received the .2 went on perfect adhered good all over. Within 20 minutes after it was installed I dropped my glassed they hit the Side of the screen and chipped the screen protector. You can't see it from the pic but it is starting to hairline crack...
Highly recommend iVoler screen protector for Nexus 6!!
Highly recommend iVoler screen protector for Motorola Droid Turbo!!
Installation was very easy and there is not bubble at all. It only takes me two times to install it properly. You'll just need to follow the instruction and use the tools provided with the packaging.all the cutouts are accurate and I like the fact that it does not covers the front facing camera and also the proximity sensor. The screen is HD clear and super smooth as if there is nothing on it!I'll never go back to those cheap plastic screen protectors again.
I ended up getting three replacements for from ivoler for the glue lasted only for a little while on the edges and the lint/dirt would get in there. I got fed up and got Mime and have had it on for a month with no problems whatsoever.
I can confirm that the ivoler glass screen protector fits and that the edges stick to the screen, at least for me. I don't know why some people are having the opposite experience.
I bought mine off Amazon for $6.95 for a 2 pack. I got the .2m. Ivoler screen protectors are a dust magnet. Put mine on it the bathroom as it is the best light to see if the screen is clean. Washed my hands and cleaned the screen with the provided tools. Installed it between the bevel edges. Later had ghosting. Took it off and installed the 2nd. Washed hands, cleaned screen, and when I removed the cover on the screen protector. All I heard was static electricity. Dust stuck to it as soon as I pulled the cover off. Installed of my phone and it was bad. Took its off and clean my outterbox defender case and put my turbo back in. The heck with that. Sent them a email will all my info. No picture as I do not have a camera another phone to take a picture. What good can that do. Most know that trying to get a picture if you could, would not show it well as it does in person. Got a email back and they asked for my order id and a picture. They must have not even read my email. I had my Amazon order id in the email, 2 sentence. I explained to them that I do not have a camera or another to take a picture. Also that I do not have the screen protectors on my turbo anymore. I miss Zagg screen protectors. Never had a problem like I did with ivoler. At lest I am out $6.95 vs 19.99 if you bought it from there site and that is 1 not 2 from Amazon. I doubt I will get 2 replacement or my money back. Can never go wrong with my outterbox. If the ivoler was a success install like most here had. I would have removed the screen protector in the outterbox. O well.
Got the .3 for my Droid Turbo. It's saved my screen twice in two years. Getting ready to put on the second one, as the first is all cracked up now. Very scratch resistant. Put this on somewhere super clean. I have dogs and cats with super fine fur. A hair you can't even see will make you curse.
Is this the Droid turbo or the droid 2 ?

Like the looks of the fit... even though it falls slightly short of the full screen that's probably why it fits so well. Also I have not seen the ivoler in the .3 VERSION for the turbo (all the ivoler .3 screen protectors I have found say the are for the turbo 2) in any case I have ordered the .2 version for my phone.

Update after a little more searching I found the .3 version on Amazon ... so I will give it a go as well... should have plenty of spares . I currently have a Otckicks on my Droid Turbo but it does not seal well around the edges. Also I am using the Otterbox commuter case which is less bulky than the defender and the Lifeproof base as well, both of which are good but bulky... however the Lifeproof case really muffled the sound on the Turbo.
Skinomi Tech Glass LG G4 Glass Screen Protector
I'm a fan of screen protectors. Almost all of my devices have one. For the LG G4, I've purchased a tempered glass screen protector- Skinomi Tech Glass Screen Protector. The package includes an alcohol swab,dust removal tape and complete set of instructions. The dust removal tape was significantly larger than most I've tried.
Okay the installation was relatively easy. I've actually done this kind of stuff before and so what usually works best is installing it in the bathroom where the humidity is high which reduces those pesky dust and air bubbles. Noticeably, there's like a trimming around the edges ( I guess this was intended to accommodate secondary cases) so it's important to have it aligned properly (sidewise, center,top and bottom).
It literally took 20 minutes for me to get the result to my liking. No bubbles, no lint. It was perfect. I'm hands down to Skinomi Tech Glass screen protector for the LG G4. It was perfect fit, the cut-outs was nice and clean.
If you're looking for heavy duty performance and easy on the pocket (this is currently on sale at Amazon), try Skinomi Tech Glass LG G4 screen protector. I'm curious how it's going to handle impact when I've like drop the device but of course, I wouldn't intentionally subject my device for that. I'm quite confident it's going to work just fine.
P.S.
This is an honest review and may or may not produce same results.

Disappointed
I bought this off of Amazon a few days after buying my G4. According to the product description, it had everything I wanted. Installation was easy (although, I work in IT at the Toledo Jeep plant where I install screen protectors all of the time). It fit the screen wonderfully.
My satisfaction ends there, however. Within a day or two there was a big knick taken out of the edge of the protector. The plastic side bezel that is flush with the Knicks location is completely unaffected. The product description on Amazon says that this protector vastly improves hiding finger smudges. I can say with no hesitation that the smudges have gotten a lot worse since I put this thing on. There is also a blemish that resembles an air bubble in the very bottom right corner. I tried forever to work it out of there. I thought it would go away after a couple of days. After three weeks it is still there. I really do not think it's an air bubble though. It didn't move at all when I was trying to squeegee it out of there. And it is right at the very edge of the screen protector.
My previous phone was a GS3. I never put a screen protector on it in the whole time I owned. There is not one scratch on the screen. From what I have seen, this phone has even better Gorilla Glass. So I am tempted to just go without it.
Screen responsiveness has not been any worse than the screen was without it. Overall, I would say that I am not completely disappointed with it. But, from the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Amazon, I don't think it lives up to those reviews.
The problem with tempered glass is it scratches, it scratches easier than gorilla glass. So while you may save your screen from scratches, you will still be living with even more scratches. I've stuck with a good ole polyurethane, although my g4 seems to be the first one I have ever installed a skin on where so much air moved into a big bubble and that bubble has lasted 2 weeks now. It does seem to be getting smaller (a second air pocket is now mostly gone) but I may need to do a new skin. Usually air/water will still eventually expel itself given enough time.
FWIW, I have tried 4 different glass protectors (not Skinomi), and the best one so far is by Yootech. I am still amazed at how oleophobic this glass is. The cutouts are perfect and it installed easily and correctly first time out. After a couple of months the screen is still not scratched, chipped, or oily. Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Screen-Protec...keywords=yootech+glass+lg+g4+screen+protector
FYI, I am in no way attached to , employed by, or compensated by Yootech. But if they wanted to send me another screen protector for my LG G4 I would take it!
any glass will get scratches from dust that is part silicate because silicate scratch glass. gorilla isn't the exception at all, they use a layer of oil to reduce friction (that's why you shouldn't clean your phone with anything but a monofiber cloth) so other elements won't be able to scratch it (everyone saw videos of dudes trying to scratch the glass with tools keys and knives but NEVER with some beach sand?) if you clean it with alcohol you remove that protective layer and your gorilla glass becomes a simple tempered glass. idk if continous use will wear off that layer tho
Hi everyone!
I"m very excited for Aug 10th to get this phone... and even though it's shatterproof, I've heard from a few people on YouTube that the phone is NOT scratchproof :/ So we are still going to have to search for the Best Screen Protector.
As new ones come out and are verified, I will update this post! Good luck with the search everyone. My first one that I'm going to try is Probably the Mr Shield or an OMOTON one. I don't see amFilm yet, but it's early still.
Cheers!

I had the Z force. The screen came pre-installed with a plastic protector which scratches instantly. I never removed mine, just placed a glass one over it. When I did that the screen became super reflective because there were too many layers of stuff (it was annoying). This time I will remove the plastic screen protective the moment the glass one arrives. From the old phone they say that the Verizon glass protectors were the best, I think they are listed as flexible glass. Others have said they used different brands that have worked well too, so we will just have to try and see. One things for sure, it will need a glass protector right out of the box unless you like scratches.

You haven't burst my bubble, this is good news. It's one less step I have to take now to get my glass protector on. I would suggest everyone get the absolute thinnest glass screen protector you can find to keep the light touches responsive and screen glare to a minimum.
While Amazon is amazing, it can be incredibly frustrating trying to sift through the hundreds of cheap Chinese junk products to find the quality ones. You can't always go by reviews either. I like to look for bigg-ish name brands and read their product page thoroughly. I decided to go with this protector: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Skinomi-Hardness-Ballistic-Tempered/dp/B071G6ZV7J/ It's made by Skinomi which makes high quality products. They also listed the glass to be .33mm thick which is the thinnest I could find. I checked the Verizon website and they had two options, one not listing the thickness and the other being .4.
Also the Skinomi one mentions something about clarity and I suspect that the cheaper protectors are the ones with a lot of reflection to them. Not sure on that. I will come back and give my review of the Skinomi glass protector when I get it on the phone.
I bought this same brand last year for my Moto Z and it has been great. So I ordered the Moto Z2 force version. Hopefully quality will be as good:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072M7WH6N/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got my phone today and put on the Skinomi protector within 5 seconds. No bubbles, easy install, no extra glare, and I can give the screen the absolute lightest touch and it responds. I'm talking I can barely feel the touch on the tip of my finger and it works. That .33mm thickness works well.

The Verizon one is great! No complaints so far.
Yeahhhh....IQshield one not so good. Doesn't apply correctly to the screen. Used all 3 and every single one has a nice bubble in the lower right of the device next to the home button. Glass feels good, but either my device has a nice bend in the lower right or the glass just isn't flat. Other interesting thing....3 pack of protectors, yet only ONE set of installation stuff (prep pad/dust remover sticker).....weird. I'd just recommend staying far away from this one. Has good reviews, but I don't get how. And I'm not a rookie when it comes to screen protectors, so I know I'm putting this thing on right...

I know bubbles usually go away in a short time.
It's not bubbles, though. The entire lower right to the right of the fingerprint sensor doesn't adhere to screen. So either my device came bent or the batch of protectors I got are slightly warped in that lower right.

I've had that happen before with certain phones. No brand could fix it. Even this phone did it right in the beginning and over the course of a day it fully sealed. Good luck in solving this because it can be very annoying.

Of course it has no bubbles because it's plastic and you did a good job putting it on. Nice rainbow effect with the light though.

I also had an issue with a persistent gap, using this screen protector, in the upper left and right corners (left of the FFC and right of the flash). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Q55HFY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered a different brand, but intended to just leave this one on until it arrived. After about 36 hours and heating up and cooling down a few times, the gaps had disappeared. My theory is that the phone's screen is just not as flat as a traditional glass panel, so you do not have two perfectly flat mating surfaces when using a tempered glass screen protector. It seems the screen is soft enough to eventually form to the screen protector, as i'm sure the screen protector is a more stable material than the screen.

I know bubbles usually go away in a short time.
It's not bubbles, though. The entire lower right to the right of the fingerprint sensor doesn't adhere to screen. So either my device came bent or the batch of protectors I got are slightly warped in that lower right.

Mine does the same thing, got the IQ
I got this one. Should have been $35 from T-Mobile but I got it free since I know the workers there almost intimately. Should tell you how often I go to that specific store. They didn't have Zs in stock but ordered one for me.

How is it. I got this one to try from skinomi
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Sk...084&sr=8-5&keywords=z2+force+screen+protector
I didn't like how it set on the phone, couldn't get it to adhere everywhere. Currently I got a z play screen protector on my device. It cover the fingerprint partially, but seems to be better then the skinomi.
https://www.amazon.com/protector-Co...1279&sr=1-32&keywords=z+play+screen+protector
I'm not sure because of the black bottom and top and the screen protector makes it so I can't see any non adhesiveness.
I have an s8+ with an official Samsung screen protector which is really great. Easy to put and to take off of you want, I even got 2 in the package, and case friendly with the official cases from Samsung.
Today I received my new note 8 and with it I bought the same cases I use on the s8+ but I can't find the official screen protector for the note 8.
Does anyone know if this thing exists or will be released later or can anyone tell me of an alternative. A screen protector which is similar or better.
Tnx

Nowere to be found. A good screen protector indeed.
Bugger really. The Note 7/FE Samsung protector was so good. I've already wasted money on the rubbery foil types that don't work with the S Pen and tempered glass which don't sit properly and thus rubbish screen sensitivity.
Am also waiting for it..

i got this one until my whitestone arrives and except that it feels like plastic (it is plastic afterall) i don't see any bad side effects.
fits perfectly, even with case, pen works, edges are covered and so on.
maybe try this one until you can buy the official one. i don't regret it (for now) but whitestone will be here next week anyway so im not using it very long

I own 2 unopened packages of the official Samsung s8+ screen protectors. Size difference is .1".
Going to give one of them a try if sensors align.
Tried a Zagg, but it came with debris sandwiched between layers in sealed box. Returned to BB

never used the Samsung screen protectors but I can say the Zagg I had on my note 3 sat there for 3-4 yrs before I took it off. No case, just that screen protector and I have face palmed it on the ground about 5 times and never cracked. Dropped phone on every corner and phone is in bad shape but screen never cracked. took zagg invisishield off to replace it with another and couldn't get it off the packaging and said screw it don't need a protector. Well 2 weeks later, dropped phone on face and not one part of the screen was not cracked.. crud...
so now I'm searching the forums and contemplating the zagg again, but from what I see here yall like the Samsung ones...

The Zagg Curve on my Note8 is fantastic!!! I don't understand some of the negative reviews other than they posted them due to previous problems on the curved screens.
Zagg got their act together and the new one is flawless and easier than ever to apply.

And you're experiencing absolutely no decreased sensitivity with yours? I've read many stories of people returning the Note 8 Zagg glass because the phone (esp the keyboard) was no longer registering their taps and they'd have to push really hard afterward. Also people were posting pictures of the fingerprint smudges on their Zagg glass.
The Zagg sounds like it will work with my chosen cases, but I've been wary of buying it because of the bad reviews. I won't be able to return it after I make the purchase, so I would be glad to hear more.

Absolutely no screen sensitivity issues whatsoever!
The screen smudges are definitely there, but I don't think it's any worse than the naked screen.

Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely keep this in consideration, then. The smudges are not as big of an issue as screen sensitivity, for sure.
I have bought the Zagg for Note 8 but I'm experiencing a serious issue on the screen's sensitivity when I'm not using the S Pen. Besides that, I'm curious on the adhesive for the protector. Is it just on the sides or there's adhesive in the middle as well? Thanks.

Just had best buy apply a ZAGG glass to my note8 and the sensitivity is greatly decreased. Just ****. Actually as I wrote this it decided it didn't want to stick anymore and came off. Don't waste your money. Its a piece of ****.
The Zagg curve is garbage, anyone telling you that it doesn't decrease touch sensitivity is full of crap.
Samsung canceled production of their screen protector for the note 8.
It's in their interest to not make one... Look at all the repair business they get. I wish it had a flat screen

How did you find that out? It makes sense as there isn't one available at this late date, but where was it announced?
I've looked for the past 2 days now and I cannot for the life of me find a decently priced FULL ADHESIVE (tempered glass) screen protector. I ordered a "bubble free" and it looks like garbage, only the edges have adhesive so it's not fully on, it definitely was not tempered glass, and when it's off you can see the rainbow effect.
I'm just confused because the last phone I had was a Note 5 and it wasn't that hard to find a tempered glass screen protector, we didn't have "adhesive edges" back then so all you had to do was spray a bit of water and card out any bubbles. I just upgraded to a Note 8, is this really so hard to find?
I did check out Finally, Tempered glass inexpensive full back adhesive for the Note Post and they do not sell the same product anymore.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

There are some on Amazon(UK), but they're nigh on impossible to put on without creating bubbles.
Personally I prefer the end result from the ones that you don't like. Maybe I've been lucky but these are what I use on my Note 8, my daughter's Note 9 and my wife's S9. Never spent more than £2.50 on one.
What you realise with experience, is that these will crack sooner rather than later they're all the same bar a minor tweak, 3 - 4 months and you'll be replacing them anyway.
Save your money.
i use this and i am very happy..!
it is a uv glue tempered glass like whitestone but a lot cheaper. (i have used whitestone doom in the past and i put them in the same quality)

The one I ordered WAS from amazon, but it was complete garbage, imagine taking 15$ and just putting it straight into the trash can. Did you have any specific recommendation or..
I have spent well over $60 on screen protectors.. Given up.
So annoyed with the curved screens. May even change brand

Good luck finding anything that will come factory with "full adhesive" I have tried every type in the book short of the over priced white dome. I ended up finding a perfect solution (for me) though a 3D or 4D"d Temp glass protector as its advertised anyways... i think they're all pretty much the same at the point of "D" in the description but that being said they are only like 6 bucks a piece for a full cover option i opted for with out the whole top section cut out around the speakers and camera. They were only edged adhesive but the trick is to use the LOCA glue to adhere it to the phone... I am aware its for LCD screen repairs but if you get the 2500 viscosity its a lot thicker and it never fully cures even under a black light but it has the right amount of stickiness to stay on the phone seamlessly on my note 8 and have no popping or issues with input of the s pen, Its great! the corners dont lift even its on there good. Yes ive cracked and had to replace them before so i can vouch they are remove-able. I will add if they are on there a long time that around the bottom center where you usually touch the screen the most it can be a pain in the ass to get it separated.. Ive found that 91% rubbing alcohol and a fresh clean razor blade window scrapper lifts it off without scratching the screen. Hope this helps

Look for the one which comes with UV light and UV activated adhesive.
There is plain glass with back side laminated sheet which needs to be peeled off. A UV activated glue that is liquid and needs to go on the screen over which the glass is placed.
Then its all like spreading butter between toasts. You must apply little pressure so it spreads over entire screen then use the UV light to harden it.
Its the best i have found yet after nearly 10 screen protector. It need expertise and is not for the faint of heart. Good luck

I would have to say shy away from applying pressure as it pushes the glue out of areas causing an uneven layer of glue & possibly bubbles. If you put a 50 cent size globon one end of it and tip the phone towards the opposing end it will run down the phone and as your doing that you just let the screen protector drop onto the glue ever so slightly from one end to the other and just let it spread it will eventually spread every time if you use enough glue.... cover up your speakers with tape. Just my Insite an experience with using pressure and not using pressure. Otherwise good advice

Nice, i faced issue when i dropped glue and put on the screen guard. It never went till the corners, even after adding more glue in second attempt. So i pressed a little and it went all the way to the edges.
Maybe im dropping glue in centre. I will try your method of starting from corner next time. Thanks :good:

If you use certain cases yes they will have issues, actually at least half of the ones Ive tried have caused the protector to lift. Also the glue that i use is not made for screen protectors, its for LCD screens replacements. THat being said its just 2500 LOCA glue. You MUST buy the 2500 or higher cuz anything lower in viscosity will make it near impossible to remove when it comes time to change out the screen proector
