Hi everyone,
I'm planning on purchasing the Nexus 5X in a few days, just need to find the right accessories for it (cables, cases, screen protectors).
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a screen protector that has a cutout for the proximity sensor.
Also, I seriously only found out today there is such a thing as tempered glass. After researching a bit, I learned of it's pros (actually protects your screen if the phone falls) and it's cons (can crack easily for no reason ,poses somewhat of a health risk if breaks).
Pros: http://temperedglassscreenprotector.org/
Cons: http://www.clear-coat.com/blog/why-we-dont-sell-tempered-glass-screen-protectors/
Strangely, all the screen protectors I find on Amazon are tempered glass.
So, which one should I buy (tempered or plastic), and can you recommend a specific screen protector?
I wouldn't say they crack easily, but that'll depend on a bunch of variables. All I can say is it looks good and feels much nicer than the PET/non tempered glass screen protectors. Spigen is a good brand to go with.

I recommend the skinomi screen protector, it's not glass. It's the kind that feels like rubber and applied via water. I love these.
How you apply it with water? They can get to te mic's, no? You have safe way to do that?
Hi, Im very pleased with Nexus 5X Screen Protector, Spigen® [Crystal] Full HD, I used to have it on my Nexus 5 and I was so satisfied that I bought it again for my N5x. Feels like glass, perfecly cutted you have 3x screen protector included, dust removal and positionning tool to hlelp perfect use. At least two times saved my screen on my old nexus 5. And almost nobody noticed that Im using a screen protector....
I've played around with a few screen protectors over the years, including some tempered glass ones. I can show you some reviews I've written, if you're interested.
Most of the cheap glass options are /not/ multicoated. What that means is, while they might be very difficult to scratch, they will cause some reflections, way more than the bare screen. Also, one of the coatings applied in modern multicoating is an oleophobic coating. That means a layer which helps the glass reject oils, including the skin oils on your fingertips. So applying a glass screen protector usually means you'll have to clean your screen way more often, and also that it will be considerably more difficult to actually clean the screen.
If you're dead-set on a screen protector, I highly recommend you find yourself a multicoated option. These will be no less than $20 even on sale. They can be $30+ normally.
Personally, I trust Corning Gorilla Glass 3 as sufficient in this generation. You might get a scratch or two over a few year span, but, virtually everything your phone will meet won't be hard enough to damage the glass.

You apply a thin layer them squeeze out the excess. It's incredibly easy to retry if you set it wrong the first time. You can push the water away from the mic and speaker and use a cloth to dab up any excess water.

There is something that I can put in the mic to seal it? I don't want to take risk(especially when you have holes in top and bottom)

I've been using glass screen protectors since May 2014. I swear by them. They don't crack easily like Clear Coat claims. I've only had to replace them twice. Once because an edge got pulled up months later so there was a air gap on one side. The second time, it actually did crack but that was after falls with a TPU case on. As many others have stated, with tempered glass screen protectors, that will crack before the actual glass of the screen does. And good ones don't shatter into little pieces like Clear Coat says. On the two replacements, I broke them fully and the pieces stay together. Also I really like the glass feel. Not sure how non-glass screen protectors feel though. Back when invisibleSHIELD was popular, that tacky feel wasn't nice.

Even though the image shows it is, some companies say that despite the image, their product does not cover the sensor.

A question for everyone... Is there a problem, with tempered glass of course, with seeing the screen outdoors when it's sunny, even in full brightness?

Exactly. I think of it similar to a crumple zone in a car. It will absorb some of the force before the phone's glass does. Now of course, with a great amount of force like dropping it from 10 feet or throwing it, I'm sure both the screen protector and the phone's glass would break. Regular accidental drops should work out the way I described.
As for outdoor visibility, there's no noticeable decrease in brightness or increase in glare. All of the manufactures usually advertise something like 99.9% transparency.
Here's an interesting tempered glass screen protector review. Cued up exactly on the drop test to rocks and removal:
https://youtu.be/UnvC6EERMyI?t=2m21s
Keep in mind that plastic protects better than glass and plastic does not need to be replaced where as most drops will break a glass protector. It is made from a thin easily breakable material after all.
The reason to pay roughly 10x as much for glass is because it feels much nicer on your finger. Plastic can also cause rainbow like reflections and can be a bit harder to apply than one solid piece.
However glass costs a lot more upfront and in the long run to replace. A plastic protector is about $1 and if applied properly won't ever need to be replaced.

Yes plastic ones don't break break or need to be replaced but I don't think they provide the same impact protection in absorbing drops. You'll probably have a screen broken under the intact plastic screen protector.

I have no background on the subject but just thinking about it logically, I don't think glass can be as protective as plastic.
For instance RhinoShield only offers plastic screen protectors. Their test videos show how easily GG would break from certain impacts and how much plastic protects it. Even the best tempered glass can only hope to be as strong as GG.
My basic understanding of the situation is glass protectors work because it breaks and saves the screen underneath, where as plastic works by actually strengthening the glass itself.
However for each time the glass protector breaks and needs to be replaced, the plastic would keep on trucking.
I think the misunderstanding arises when a user drops their phone with a glass protector and it breaks thus "saving" their screen. But what if they had plastic? Would the screen of broken then? What if they had no protector? We can't say for sure what the results would have been. However to the user that is a clear indication of the glass protector working, where as I would say that's only a clear indication of the glass protector breaking easily.

Right. That's how I see it as a user. Also, the clarity, feel, and scratch resistance can't be matched by plastic.

I've actually dropped my 5x naked just once so far and got lucky without any cracks, but I do believe if I had a glass SP it would've broken. In the end I think it's luck and a good case that will protect from a bad drop as the screen protector is mainly for scratch protection. I've kept my glass SP as a backup in case the factory oleophobic coating stops working as effectively.

Getting tired of these crappy screen protectors. The glass ones only have some OCA tape on the corners which is problematic when water touches it. It also leaves air between glass and screen meaning touch sensitivity is impaired. I have one of these screen protectors and I have removed the tape. Is there a problem using LOCA to bond the screen protector to the screen? This is supposed to be a semi permanent installation. Right now the only problem I see is the adhesive pooling around the home button.
Isn't LOCA permanent though?
I would like to know what silicone glue the stock screen uses.

Yeah LOCA glue is permanent but can be removed with fairly easily with solvents.
@Illogi.xbone You have any suggestions on good plastic screen protectors? I just want a buffer in case I drop the device glass first. With plastic, the screen would still shatter. Plastic screen protectors are also less of a fingerprint magnet. I always carry sharp objects and the plastic protectors keep getting cut up.

I tend to keep my phone in a separate pocket to anything else. I don't see loca working well but you can always give it a go. Plastic will always get cut and yes, the screen can/will shatter (same with tempered glass) but I prefer the coverage that they provide and resistance to fingerprint smudges. I have used Skinomi in the past, don't like their matte ones though.
Geez, if it has come to this point just use the screen as it was intended.

Which would probably damage your screen.
Still suspicious about the LOCA
I'm going crazy to find a screen protector / tempered glass for this phone.
All I get left / lifted by the edge. I assume you have to be shorter than the screen, but the unglued border is horrible.
Any suggestion for tempered glass? I have tried several, the included original nillkin and all the same happens to him.
The images are from the nillkin tempered glass, but I've tried others with the same result.
Same here looking for a tempered glass that covers whole screen without side bubbles
I've bought this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/35204215721...49&var=621535350962&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT but although it is easy to apply and you get no bubbles, the oleo-phobic coating is a joke. It's a real fingerprint magnet. After one day's usage it's always dirty.

First, it's not exactly glue, it's some kind of liquid, but it's not a glue.
This liquid doesn't damage the screen, it is easily wiped and the protector can be replaced with new without problems in the future.

The glue comes in the package. It really removes the white edges, but the glue (or whatever it is) on the back of the screen protector is terrible. It simply won't stick to the display nice. There are so many "holes" that are not glued. I tried both protectors that came in the package, and had the problem with both.
I ordered PanzerGlass Full Frame tempered glass screen protector. I'll give my opinion on that one too. :laugh:
I've tried several tempered glass protectors for the Huawei P10 Lite, and all of them have a rim around the edges where the glass won't stick ("halo") because the screen curves and the glass is too rigid to curve with the screen. It's been a real annoyance. I tried a Brotect AirGlass protector that is the same size as the tempered glass protectors, but has enough flexibility to curve with the screen. It's not perfect with a very slight unstuck rim of about 0.5mm, but it's much better than the tempered glass protectors. The AirGlass has to be precisely positioned to minimise the rim, and I found that I had to lift and reposition it a couple of times. I did this using stickers from a spare Omoton protector that I had because the AirGlass doesn't come with stickers to aid repositioning (although I think you can use sellotape - not tried it).
Anyone has a successfull protector to advise. So far they all seem to be terrible.
Like I said, I ordered PanzerGlass screen protector and it's on my device for over 2 weeks now. I can say that this is by far the best tempered glass screen protector I got. There are no white edges, and it is full coverage.

It is a bit expensive, but it's worth every penny.
I am reading bad reviews about it, it might fit well but it breaks easily.
Anyone removed the screen protector?
I think someone told me that it's not recommended.
But why's that?

I did, because I wanted to try another screen protector. Tried two, neither of them fitted well, so I removed them. The 'naked' screen is fine, but it has no oleophobic coating, so it gets smudgy quite fast. I decided to add a 'nanofluid' liquid protector, which works reasonably well for me. I dropped my P10 a few times from 1 m or so, without damage.

Thank you...:good:
I removed the protector 5 days after I got the phone. The main reason was the ugly border of unprotected screen. After using a full covering glass screen protector for one year, I removed it.
I have two little scratches on the right edge of the display glass. This was unprotected with the stock protector and I don't know if this happened with this protector or without any protector.
I'm using the original flip case btw.
The fluid protectors are crap, they can just increase the hardness of the screen. Huawei used Gorilla glass 5 which is very hard. It should not break instantly when the phone falls on the floor.
Metal and ceramic won't have a chance to scratch it, because the glass has more hardness than metal or ceramic.
But you'll get scratches by tiny dust particles even with gorilla glass 5, because dust can contain some small quartzite and other very hard particles. This particles have more hardness than the glass and can damage it. The fluid protector is so thin that the scratches by dust particles will scratch the display glass, too. So you will not see any differences when using the protector - only if it works oleophobic.

Difficult to say. I estimate a couple of months.
Took mine off screen fine without it on.
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.

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:

Out of curiosity can you take a picture of it after installation? Because those black edge lines make me skeptical.

I got mine today. The setup was easy. Lest see how this holds up. Im very happy with this product, the best that I've tried so far.
Everyone should really get this instead of the whitestone!

Do you use cases? Maybe you have alcantara and protective standing? Does this custom glued screen protector have any issues applying cases? Thanx
I don't like screen protectors but I saw prices for screen replacement in services - it's just crazy.

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

Also the one case that i highly recommend for a glass screen protector and over all proection and looks, feel the whole 9 yards is the POETIC brand case Its perfect in eery way IMO.
