Okay so I have the device for over a month now and only now I managed to find a screen protector for it. But as soon as I applied it, the bottom part of screen won't respond to touch anymore unless I am touching the metal bezel. So basically if I try to use my phone as it lies down anywhere, I can't. I'll have to pick it up in my hand. I then even tried with a different tempered screen protector but the issue remained. Though the touch works perfectly fine without the tempered glass on.
I understand how capacitive touch screens work but I believe if the touch works fine without the screen protector, there should not be any such issue with it. Is my device defective? Any help would be appreciated.
I'm having the same problem in a lesser degree. Since putting a tempered glass, the very bottom of the navigation bar is unresponsive (while I didn't have any problems before putting the tempered glass on). I'm using a cheap tempered glass so it's been my guess that it's not a good quality product, which explains the touch screen issue.
I didn't try another tempered glass since I got used to using the top bar of the navigation bar so I don't know if the problem occurs with all tempered glasses. I bought a couple of plastic screen protectors if I get tired of the problem.

Did you try touching the metal bezel and then trying whether the navigation bar responds aptly or not. In my little understanding, touching any metal parts provides earthing to the circuit and facilitates transfer of electrons thereby improving touch function.
But I have never had any such issues with any of my previous devices.

No, it doesn't change anything. It's the first time I'm using a tempered glass on one of my devices so I don't have any point of comparison.
I don't think the Motorola Service Centre is going to be of much of a help here as the device works just fine without the screen protector on.
Guess I'll have to find some plastic screen protectors and trust the Gorilla Glass 3.
Same with me, putting a tampered glass on made the bottom right portion of the screen very unresponsive, after taking it off, the sensitivity was fine.
Anyone know of a good plastic protector?
I took off the tempered glass and put a simple protective screen and the difference in screen responsiveness is amazing. It feels like a totally new touchscreen!

It would really help if you could tell where you got the simple protective screen from.
No matter the device has gorilla glass 3 protection, but I still don't want to keep the screen exposed.

I just bought the cheapest matte protective screen I could find on Amazon here in France. I don't remember the exact reference, just that it was coming from Germany (I usually buy protective screens made in Germany, I've never been disappointed so far).

I haven't tried it but it sounds very interesting. Be very careful when you choose a screen protector. I have had a Copter screen protector on my Note 2 now for 2 days and it looks like a dartboard. It's to soft for the. S-Pen stylus. Even before the damage caused by the S-Pen reading small text was impossible due to the structure of the plastic film. $20 down the drain.
Interesting find. I have moshi palm guard for my 17" mbp since day one and it's held up very well against my watch and tungsten bracelet.
interesting for sure.... I am waiting for Spigen to release there glass cover for the SN2. I am happy with there lines of things. I picked up the Valentinus however a bit leery since my cards and all touch the screen.

I tried it with my Note 1, and didn't like it at all. Although it did protect the screen and was definitely reusable, I always saw it and found it obscured the screen too much for me.
If you like the "anti-glare" versions of other screen protectors you will like it. There is only adhesive on the outer rim so it is impossible to get a bubble on the actual display. However like other anti-glare protectors it will reduce visibility.If you are used to the crystal clear protectors I would not recommend it.

I really like going without a screen protector but I am thinking that it will add strength to the screen in case it drops or bends(sit on it)
Spigen said they aren't making it due to the curved glass.

I don't think it will give it any more strength. The protector itself is not that rigid.
Does anyone know if this phone have any kind of scratch protection like Gorilla Glass or similar ?
Im also curious, because they never mentioned the gorilla glass. But nobody said it doesnt has it.
No,apparently not,its just Super LCD2.
However rather than just use a plastic film screen protector you can get tempered glass screen protectors for it thus greatly improving its protection.
Nillkin are one the known brands,search ebay and you will find.

I don't find screen scratching big issue. I'm more afraid about screen breaking under pressure or something similar. Screen protectors don't protect from that.
Yes but as I said,the Nillkin ones are tempered glass which I believe are shatterproof.
These are not the soft plastic types.
Problem is it's not shipped outside US, so can't geet it here in france. Maybe someone knows an equivalent protection ?
purchased a tempered glass protector, it broke, and the screen was intact.
Its the second time i broke a tempered glass, and save my phone's screen, so now, i dont have any doubt on its efficiency

I know this is several months later, but I just wanna throw this out there.
Screens crack because they become weak around the points at which they scratch, so if there are no scratches on the screen, there are no weak points on the screen for it to break along. They just make sure that pressure gets uniformly distributed along the glass so that it has less chance to break. That is the main functions of screen protectors: eliminating weak points on the screen.

I guess it has to be a pretty deep scratch relative to screen thickness, to have any substantial effect.

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.
Read the thread below:

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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone
so far I can't find proper screen protector for my mi 11. I tried 3 different brands for tempered glass and all of them are the same:
not bent enough on the edges
fingerprint issues
back gesture don't work most of the time
adhesive is sooooooo weak
touch sensitivity issues
I'm looking for tempered glass options since I drop my phone a lot
if you have experience with good screen protectors please share
I would advise you not to use one. The tempered glass will in no case protect you display when it falls. The fact that the tempered glass breaks when a device falls, doesn't mean that without it the damage to be on the display itself. Tempered glass is pretty fragile and breaks very easily. So a slight fall will already break it where you display will not.
The Mi11 as Victus glass and is a perfect balance between scratch resistance and protection against ballistic impact (like a fall). During a live stream when the Mi11 was introduced in my country we dropped the device like 4 times on the ground while standing on a table.
My Mi11 came with factory foil protector which I removed after a week or two. The colors are always a bit less with the foil or glass on it. And the display is one of the main reasons to get this device, so it's a waste to put something on it.
Just use a skin or a case if you want to prevent some damage to the device directly but I would really not put a tempered glass or anything else on the display.
Edit: otherwise, if you really really want it; go with the aqua gel layers. They will always perfectly fit, add some extra scratch protection to your device (but less then the actual screen itself). You will still have less speed with the fingerprint and the colors will be a bit less too but that is with every layer you put on it. Again, wouldn't recommend.

Well, like I said: I wouldn't really recommend that either but it's smooth enough. Had one on myt Mi9T Pro for a while but I removed it and the fingerprint scanner went from mediocre to pretty okay.
And again, the ballistic impact of a fall cannot really be absorbed by a screen protector, glass, gel or whatever. So damage prevention for that situation is not really happening. But if you still want it, I would go for something like this:

Glass is glass , and glass can break. No matter if it's victus or not , if it hits the right angle it will break. Unless you are a super careful person , i would not recommend using without a screen protector. For me it's a must , i tried using my RM5G without protection and broke it in less than 3 months.
Hey guys. I just got my Find X3 Pro and am absolutely loving it so far, but I'm not loving the screen protector that came on it. Has anyone ventured to try any of the tempered glass or TPU ones on Amazon yet?
May i ask if you removed that build in plastic - cheap looking - screen protector? in case you did remove it did you notice if the screen looks better ? f.e. brigher etc? cause i have not yet removed it but i think it dims the screen a bit...

I removed it because i really felt the rims when using the gestures from the sides and bottom.
Didn't notice more brightness.
I haven't removed the screen protector yet, the screen must be really hard I damaged the screen protector the first day.
I put my phone in my pocket whilst removing an ATM (legally) and it's just wrinkled the edge , with no damage to the screen at all!
The only screen protectors I've been tempted to get are on eBay and they are tempered glass privacy ones from China to the UK.
I'll update what they are like.
I removed it because i really felt the rims when using the gestures from the sides and bottom.
I tried 2 types of screen protector.
The first in tempered glass and with curved edges and the second is gel film.
The first is bad because the edges go to touch the cases (which we all use to protect it from falls) causing the uplift of the side edges with consequent loss of touch sensitivity.
The second is much better but it also has the same problems with the covers. I resolved cutting the side edges and the corners of the gel film with a cutter.
I never managed to have a perfect screen protector. You ALWAYS feel the sides of the screen protector when you slide your finger over it (for example to slide from the curved side or from the top to open the notifications). Apparently I'm overly sensitive for that

Put a hydrogel and dont put your case on for 2-3 days. After that you should be able to easily put the case on without any risk of hydrogel uplifting.
Is the hydro gel bad for the original screen guys? Looked at it several times but don't dare to apply

Why are u afraid of? Its like a screen protector but more flexible/gummy. Water is used to apply it on the screen.
don't use screen protectors at all they make you screen get worse but IF YOU NEED ONE hydro gel are weak af and don't do jack **** to protect you phone but make the screen look less worse than temped tempered are the opposite more strong but less visability
The case is the display's primary protection*.
It should be slightly raised on the edge above the display and more so on the top/bottom.
I prefer using a wet apply urethane screen protector as the are easy to place, long lasting and inexpensive.
In 2 years of using the Zizo Bolt case and Gorilla IQ Sheild on my Note 10+ there's been zero damage to the phone in spite of a lot of drop onto concrete. Try as you may, eventually they take the plunge... a good case will save them almost everytime at heights of 2-5 feet onto concrete.
*the screen protector's primary role is protection from sand scratches and then marring protection when dropped. A tempered screen may seem strong but it can directly transfer the force of an impact to the display and break it.
Glass is a witchy substance that sometimes seems to defy the laws of physics. Ask any glazier.
Some of the laws of hydraulics apply to glass. Stress on one point may be transposed to another portion of the panel. If a spot is already under stress or has been stressed, it can fracture with only a small insult.

Hey guys. I just got my Find X3 Pro and am absolutely loving it so far, but I'm not loving the screen protector that came on it. Has anyone ventured to try any of the tempered glass or TPU ones on Amazon yet?

I found some decent ones on MediaDevil here in the UK much better than the standard one!

I usually wait a few hours if it's hot, no issues.
Simply reseating it if it breaks away works well as long as no dust reaches it first. A bit of the attachment solution can be also used.
This type of protectors last me 6+ months and remain almost clear even at 6 months.
The display must be completely lint/dust free though. Wet your clean fingers before touching protector during placement.

The easiest way to avoid dust ("ivisible" one as well) on screen is to go to the bathrom and turn on warm water under the shower/in the bathtub and leave it for 15 min with closed door and window (if you have it). Then go to the bathroom with your phone and apply the screen protector. I can guarantee there will be no dust under.
Well if you need a clear screen protector then you can try gadgetshieldz screen protector. I'm using it on my Find X3 Pro for 3 months now and there are no bubble issues and this goes well with a curved screen.
