I am looking for a screen protector for my BN Turbo. I would prefer a tempered glass solution but am willing to explore other options. Does anyone have one or can offer suggestions for one? Thanks

When I bought my turbo in October or November, I also bought the "flexible glass screen protector for droid turbo" at the Verizon store. It is a little pricey at about $25, but I really like it. They had to order it for me and it was delivered straight to me.
For what it cost, I took it to them and had one of their employees put the screen on for me. I think he did a pretty nice job of it. I have no complaints, other than the high price. ?
As far as I can tell, it has no scratches on it, but, I try not to treat it rough. Also, it is very hard to see any smudges, etc that I get on it.
It did take me a little while to get used to its edges. If you swipe from the very edge of the phone, you can feel the edge. It kind of catches your finger. I have had no problems using it. At the same time I also bought the "Speck" case from them. I like it as well, but, it is also pricey.
Before this, I always used their belt clip. I do miss that, and, "may" one of these days replace the Speck with it. But, I think the glass screen is so much better than the plastic ones.
I would buy the glass screen again. (my opinion only)

I just received this one today.
Its not bad for the price.
I was just going to start a thread with the glass screen protectors that I've tried and whether it works or not. but just an fyi, I've used the ez guardz, they admitted to their current model having a design flaw; the edges of the screen protector doesn't adhere. Also the Ghostek I just received today has the same issue. There's one more I'm looking at on eBay and I'm going to stay away from the "flexible screen protectors" as those are the ones made by tech21 and I don't like the feel of them.
Sorry. Wrong thread.

Thanks for the info. I have read the same thing on most of the screen protector Amazon reviews. Everything from improper fit, to breakage, yellowing, dimples & valleys......
I have considered this non-tempered protector: http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-Tech...421509415&sr=8-1&keywords=skinomi+droid+turbo Does anyone have any experience with these?
I also sent an email to MIMEUSA because they show link for Turbo products on their site but when clicking on it nothing happens. I will post updates as soon as I hear anything from them

Looks like film, I have their screen protector for my moto 360, first batch was over sized, they then sent me the replacements which were a lot better. I may end up going with tempered glass as well for to 360 but at the time none were available but the film ones, except the Spigen which chipped. I'm not too confident with the ones that are available now.

I know that it's a film protector & not tempered glass. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with it. I was also looking at the iVoler tempered glass sold on Amazon
The iVoler is great, with a few minor caveats:
• Follow instructions to the letter, making sure the screen is immaculately clean. Also, wear rubber gloves if possible. Even a minor trace of skin oils will result in spots that refuse to adhere, so be super careful.
• This particular item ships from Shengzhen, China, and takes about three weeks. Order a spare while you're ordering and waiting so ridiculously long for the item to arrive.
Aside from that, it seems to be just the ticket... It's coated, so it feels slick, stays clean and doesn't show fingerprints.
This company finally has one out, I have it on order today.
http://mimeusa.com/product/droid-turbo-ghost-glass-screen-protector/
reporting back from my last purchase.
Tried this TEMPERED GLASS Screen Protector - Slim 0.33mm Super Hardness - Crystal Clear by COVRWARE - picked it up from amazon for $9.97
The glass itself is nice. It feels like the naked screen. It's a 9H and oleophobic. Unforunately the edge adhesive halos. It's cut slightly short of the edges to in an attempt to deal with the 2.5D screen edges.
you don't notice when the screen is on, but yeah it's not a edge to edge performing adhesive. so i've left it on, as i look for a better screen protector.
i'd love to see how that mime screen protector does.

Let me know if the edges stick that's really the only issue with most of them on the market right now. I don't even want to show my phone to others because of the parts of the screen protector that doesn't adhere. Waiting on a replacement for my ghostek, if that's the same then I'm off to trying a different one.
The edges on mine are all good, with the exception of two spots where my fingers made contact with the adhesive. My hands were clean and dry, but it apparently doesn't take much to impact the performance of the adhesive. I'd recommend wearing rubber gloves during application... Other than that, it's a great fit, and covers only the flat (non-rounded) surface of the screen.
Ok got the MIME today, typical package and install. Goes on good does not go the the edge but about like the xtreme one I had installed. This one sticks so far and feels way better slickness wise than the xtreme.

Interesting there's no cut out for the proximity sensor. Have you had any issues during phone calls? Make a phone call, and hold the phone away from your face. Does the screen still go on?
Ok, I've looked through forums, threads here and there, Amazon, manufacturer sites, web searches... and my takeaway is that glass protectors for the Note 5 are a problem... in particular the protectors don't fully cover the screen (just the flatter part) and there are halo effects. The non-curvature issue can also cause dust to accumulate, apparently, by getting into the edges.
Is there, in fact, ANY really great tempered glass screen protector that does the job?? One that fully fits the curves along of the Note 5's screen, has non-sharp edges, and isn't a headache to install or otherwise deal with? I see the same type complaints whether the glass protector is inexpensive or at the high-price end.
I have a new Note 5 arriving next week, and I'd love to know which are the top choices. Or, because of the curved screen, front side, is this just a holy grail search never to be reached?
My guess is that once manufacturer's continue to get feedback they will fix the issue, but it will take time and feedback from consumers. The device is fairly new so I would say in about another month or so the issues Should, or so I would hope, be ironed out. If you cannot wait, I would suggest getting a case with a built in screen protector. Give Artech21 a jingle, they have a case with a built in screen protector, and I believe they are still looking for testers for their cases. I am going to be receiving mine whenever they ship. At the moment it seems like September 30th, at least according to Amazon, but I hope to get one sooner than later.
Either way, a decent case and being careful will go far to help deal with your screen until, either manufacturers fix the issues, or you can get a case with a built in screen protector.
I bought the tempered glass screen protector at the T-Mobile store. Forget the brand, but came in a big green box, with a roller and bed like thing to put the phone in, and apply it dummy proof easy. It is on clear and zero bubbles, and can barely even see the protector whatsoever.
Skinomi.com is where I purchased mine. Absolutely perfect for my Tab S so I made the purchase for the Note. Also perfect in every way! I paid around 7 bucks through ebay

This is the screen protector your talking about http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-de...oll-on-kit-biodegradable-samsung-devices.html, Also cheaper direct through manufacturer by about $15. At any rate it looks like a good screen protector and very easy to apply. I may give it a shot once I get my device sorted out.
The Zagg glass from Verizon is a perfect fit, but if you have to be insanely accurate. If you are, the results are amazing. I read on another thread that version Best Buy carries does not fit well so I went straight to Verizon. Yes it's pricey but worth it. I'm used to staying under $15 for a glass one for my last few purchases. I purchased 2 backups (different manufacturers) for $3 total from Amazon with coupon codes, but it's good to know I won't need them. Let me know if you need pictures.
edit: For the most part, halos are causes by wrong cuts or if you are off by a hair in either direction. If applied correctly with the right brand, it should cover 100% of the flat area before the curve.
Thanks!
Pictures would be great!
Also... thanks everyone for the input so far! For the above-mentioned glass protectors, do they cover the curved part of the screen in a form-fitting way?
In the meanwhile, I've ordered from Amazon a couple of glass screen protectors as an inexpensive first step solution awaiting products that subsequently come out that may take advantage of user stories/input. The two are: (1) IVSO with lifetime warranty and (2) YooTech with lifetime warranty.
I also ordered three Note 5 cases from Amazon to try: (1) Spigen Air Cushion Slim Armor Case, Champagne Gold, model SGP11687; (2) Spigen Neo Hybrid Carbon Case, Gunmetal, model SGP11689; and (3) Urban Armor Gear Case, Black.
Unless I have totally overlooked it, you won't find a protector that covers the curve in a glass form. It wouldn't be physically possible since the glass protectors do not have any bend/give at the ends to cover the edges of the screen.
Looks to be possible
I wonder what might be the engineering reason for not producing a curved tempered glass screen protector. Cost perhaps? For example the screen itself is curved, why can't the protector be formed (molded in a sense) to mate to that? Search on "curved tempered glass" and you'll see that it is possible to create curved tempered glass.
Also, look up: "Cinder .2 mm Gorilla Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 6/6+" on YouTube (I'm new to XDA, can't post links yet!). This protector IS curved on the edges to follow the form of the phone. I'd love to see this for Note 5!
The Cinder is from Cupert. Check out Cupert (period) com.

i'm using this on my Note5, and so far, it's has the least amount of "halo" effect. probably .5 mm or less and barely noticeable unless you're looking for it; i can live with that for now. (see picture below) i used a T-Mo discount to purchase and have installed in the store. was told as long as i have my receipt they'll replace it if there's significant "halo".

Zero haloing. It might look that way because of the angle I shot it (6 plus camera .. sadface)
Supersheild works fine.
Mixed reviews + hope for the future
For all of the above-mentioned glass screen protectors, when I look at their Amazon ratings, I see overall a mixed set of reviews, primarily around halo issues and the screen not fitting enough of the Note 5's glass, and with some users having complaints about installation. My conclusions so far: that this represents what's currently on the market. However, presumably there's hope for a better product, e.g., a Gorilla Glass thin, sleek glass protector that curves to edges and fully form fits the entire screen, as is the case with the Cinder product made for the iPhone (in which instance the holy grail seems to have been found). We now know that this appears to be possible for a large curved device (see the Cinder references/web site I mentioned above).
My hunch is that a fully form-fitting glass protector would also provide better shock protection for the screen versus one that doesn't fully mate to the screen, curves and all.

Can you confirm if it's actually glass? I was going to buy it (not from tmobile, $40 is robbery) but the "flexible" part is what threw me off. How can a tempered glass SP be flexible? The mfg website states that it's made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET).

I got the same one and yes it is dummy proof but the sides don't lay flat. It also gets greasy really easy. I've used this one http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Tem...pebp=1441665200689&perid=1CDB4C1PX00MRMTNJ7SD on other devices and it seems to work a lot better.
XtremeGuard. $7. Fast shipping. Great fit
I contacted many AliExpress sellers and bought many TGSP's to find ones that fit the following criteria:
No ugly dot-matrix grid on the glass
No paint (black, white, gold, silver, etc) around the edges
Large cut out around the camera and sensor array at the top
Case Friendly
These are the products that I can confirm fit the criteria above:
WEIYU 3D Curved Edge Not Full Cover Tempered Glass Screen Protector For Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Protective Film Case friendly
MKSUP 3D Curved Case Friendly Full Cover Tempered Glass Screen Protector For Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Note8 Protective Glass film
IMIDO Case Friendly Tempered Glass For Samsung Galaxy Note8 3D Curved Screen Protector Protective Film For Samsung Galaxy Note 8
All three of these "different" sellers are selling THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT. All three products came in the exact same shipping styrofoam brick, exact same wipes and exact same dust/mounting stickers. All three TGSP's are identical in every way. So, just buy the cheapest one.

Viewed from my phone, the color option was definitely not apparent at a glance. The "select" button seemed to be for shipping options and not for color choice.
Anyway, those are not full coverage, they leave a gap on the sides which is one thing I absolutely hate on my current install. I don't mind the gap on the top and bottom but jeez at least cover the sides....plus those rounded corners like the Whitestone domes.
But all in all good find for people who don't really mind those short comings and great price too even though it's a month long ship date. I would have probably ended up buying 1 of each to test it wasn't for the expected ship dates.

Fair play - yeah, if you clicked on the lower bar, where it says "Color/Shipping cost:free shipping ... Select" I think you'd get the colour options.
I agree with the edge coverage - I prefer a "de-domed" whitestone for exactly that reason - it covers ever so slightly more on the edges than a "standard" sized TG protector. The top section is also good as it doesn't cover any of the sensors.
If anyone does find a protector that covers the edges further than a whitestone, by all means tell xda about it!
Awesome! exactly what i was looking for.
Thanks OP

I don';t believe you will ever find a glass screen protector that covers edges further than the Whitestone - and most are going to be partial coverage on the sides that you mentioned. The reason is the difficulty of getting the glass to hold firmly to the screen and not lift off when you attach a case. Cases are going to push up on the screen - if it isn't glued down with super glue it will push u p - pure physics - so you have to find a middle ground that gives you the best coverage you can find - while still holding firmly to the screen without lifting off when you put on a case....The whitestone uses the liquid adhesive to hold firmer to the screen - and thus can be used with a wider variety of cases without the lift off happening...but even with whitestone you get some lift off with some cases.... I found a great screen protector on Amazon - by "AMFILM" that holds very well - gives partial coverage on the sides and works well with a number of different cases....
I think we are have abouot the best we can get right now - Whitestone for those that want the most - and others like the AMFILM I mentioned (Or the ones in the OP) for those that don't like doing the Whitestone install....

I own all of them and none of them have the dot-matrix grid. That's why I bought like 6-7 of these, just to find out myself even though I contacted each seller. However, these sellers are like "online swap meet" sellers, so I didn't trust their word.

i wouldn't pay $50 for Whitestone dome when I've done it my self for a fraction of the cost.
I guess the type of protector i am willing to use depends on the type of cases I use.
and I believe I've found a protector that covers the top, bottom and sides the way I would like it to....haven't installed it yet though but it's looking promising.
i'm currently using a magglass which actually covers more than the Whitestone dome but less than I wanted and it doesn't have that ugly round cut at the bottom and top like the Whitestone. i'm not the type to use bigassss ridiculous cases unless i expect my phone to fall 20ft. a moderate case will protect your phone from a 4 foot fall.
Honestly i don't really care about "wide variety" of cases, i use only a few types of cases so i could careless about the rest......just my preference.
so i absolutely refuse to find a "middle ground". I currently use the spigen neo hybrid and this new glass I have seems to fit perfectly almost no gap at bottom or sides judging from what i see (I guess I'll really know once I remove the current one and install it), i would guess the rhinoshield would also work.
As soon as they ship the glue cleaner i'll be doing the new install, probably do a video of it or something.

Yeah, this is the one I bought recently but haven't installed yet.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075CZV6YQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Note, if you use big cases or cases with weird lips I highly doubt this protector will fit unless the case's lip goes over the protector (my idea is that if the case fits over the protector then it won't push it up). I don't use bulky cases so that's not really a concern to me....... here wondering if the rhinoshield case would really fit even though it has a deep lip but so far I think it would as i assume the protector would go under the lip.
as soon as amazon ships a couple things to me I'll be doing the install and some tests and to see how it fits with this waterproof case i'm buying.
I got this one Check this out at Amazon.com

For one it went as close to edge to edge as I could find. It does have the dot matrix but it's not noticeable. It also covers most of the top and I'll post pics here

We ordered this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/50ml-Super-...-adhesive-for-Cell-Phone-Screen-/311578428856
We took the screen dimensions of the display and multiplied it by the thickness of the TGSP, so we got cubic millimeters. Then, converted that to milliliters and used an old teeth whitening syringe I had lying around to use the correct amount of LOCA. We used thin, clear packaging tape to seal the buttons and holes.

We took the screen dimensions of the display and multiplied it by the thickness of the TGSP, so we got cubic millimeters.

Did it make a big difference compared to a non-LOCA install of the TGSP's you listed?

I'm not good in english, so this link will explain this better than me. I'm kinda hyped, since i'm using a tpu protector (the official one for s8+, good but not perfect).
Hope it works.
No more of this whitestone loca glue bs
$50 though...
Seen an article on android Central about this as well, hope it pans out. Say they have figured out sensitivity and gotten rid of halo effect. I am using armor suit in the mean time. Would love to have real glass for the s pen tho...

Zagg is kind of late to the party. Theres already other full adhesive TGSPs out there. Like Singularity on Amazon for less than $20. I have it and love it.

LOL. I don't see why it won't work with an otterbox. It is very case friendly. Fits perfectly with the Ringke Air.
Sorry I don't have any pictures, and I believe its .33mm thick.
My advice: Dont use the installation tray. It seems to place the screen protector about half a mm to the side, which causes bubbles.
Go to your edge lightint setting and take a screen shot with the edge light lit up. Use that as a guide and make sure you get it exactly center side-to-side. Theres a little play vertically so it's not as important.
Use the squeegee to push all the air out of the middle. Then one side at a time GENTLY pry up the edge and use your thumb or finger to push the bubbles on the edge out. My first one took a few tries. I cracked it somehow and got a second one, which installed perfectly the first try without the tray.

u said many can you share a few please? I am creating a list in another thread I will mention ur name for items you provide (not like I am getting paid anyways XD)
They doesn't sell singularity stuff on EU, so me and i guess a lot of other person cannot buy that :/
Ok, so if you have the old Zagg Glass Curve registered for the lifetime warranty, when you request a replacement, the new Elite is one of the no cost replacement option.
You do have to pay shipping ($6 for the Note 8 version and $10 for the S8 Plus version)
But if you happen to already have the original Glass Curve (or can come up with one cheap *cough-Amazon-Warehouse-Deals-cough*), then you can get it replaced with the Elite for just a few bucks. Some have had luck calling Zagg, and they will replace them with no shipping cost.

Search for Note 8 full adhesive screen protector on Amazon.
$50.00?! I'll pass. While it's not full screen adhesive, I'm extremely happy with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074G1W2RC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Agreed.
But does that glass screen protector have dot matrix? I'm not that keen about dot matrix tgsp. Remembered once owning one and it looked like rubbish.

My thoughts:
I also hate the dot matrix TGSPs. I bought a used one month old Note 8, and the previous owner had one of those TGSPs on it since day one. Some dust had seeped under the TGSP, which is common considering theres only adhesive on the edges. And sensitivity SUCKED.
When I took the TGSP off, one piece of dust had actually etched a spot into the screen from rubbing between the screen glass and the TGSP. So the screen protector caused the damage it was supposed to prevent.
With no full adhesive TGSPs, and the unwillingness to try a LOCA install, I tried a few wet install protectors. The look abd feel GREAT. Until you use the SPen a few times and the TGSP holds every line you draw.
Finally found the Singularity full adhesive TGSP. Love it. Except its $20, and no warranty. The first one lasted about three weeks and got a large chip on the top and cracked. Probably my fault, I set it facedown at the gym. But had to buy a new one.
Now the second one lasted one day before mysteriously developing two hairline cracks in it. Im still using it, but the cracks are there.
So I have spent over $50 in screen protectors on the month I've owned this phone.
With the Zagg Elite, yes its $50. But it's full adhesive and has a lifetime warranty. It costs $6 shipping to replace it if I break it. Thats so much cheaper than any other option out there.
By the way, if you already have the original Zagg Glass Curve, the Elite is an available replacement option for it under the warranty.

Like you mentioned in the past, the Elite is probably the same as other full adhesive protectors?

Thats purely speculation on my part. Looking at photos. They all look the same. Same fit, same cut.
Maybe I'm wrong and the ZAGG is different, somehow. I only got it for the warranty though.

So , what do you suggest I do , as I wouldn't mind trying a glass type screen protector?
I remember you mentioned that if I bought a regular Zagg tgsp I could do a warranty exchange on the Elite for $6?

Yup. They are out of stock right now, but once the Elite is back in stock you can choose it as a warranty replacement for the original Glass Curve.

You have to buy it from Amazon. If you purchase from eBay it's not eligible for the warranty.

Hi Guys,
I ordered the sandstone back cover with the 5t as I read on the oneplus forums that the back cover that comes with the phone removes or messes up the paint. TBH the sandstone one sucks too. Is there a cover that does not mess up with the phone's body? Also is there any good tempered glass which can be applied even if there is a cover?
Thanks

Any case gonna do the same thing unless you clean you device regularly ( the dust goes inside the case through open cut outs and then the friction between phone and case mess it up even more) by taking it off the case. I personally do this once a day and it works for me. As for extra protection, get a dbrand skin for the back.

Thanks. Can you please share the link for that dbrand? All of my Samsung phones have GS protector but for the 5t they don't make it 360 degree protection. The pricing is same though
https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/oneplus-5t-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
P.S. Should I keep on using the silicon cover that I got with the phone then?

You can purchase the dbrand skins from here.
https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-5t-skins
Go for the black-dragon if you're looking for some grip. Once you got it on the back, use any clear silicon case to provide some sort of drop protection as well. As for the provided silicon case, there's no harm in using it as long as keep your device dust free regularly.

Just checked that link, the shipping charges are almost double the products price. Did you check the Gadgetshieldz link that I sent? They both look similar.

Yeah i know that skinnova skins are quite cheaper but there so many reviews about them not having a great quality like dbrand. There's no mention of the use of 3M material on their site and personally I've seen its mahogany wood skin which looks like shiny plastic wrap. So basically it all comes to this end. If you want some premium quality and a great fit, go with dbrand else if you wanna save some bucks, go for skinnova skins. And don't go for the fedex shipping, you can get the untracked usps shipping to save some bucks on dbrand as well.

I've ordered dbrand skins with untracked shipping for two times and it usually got to me in less than 20 days in both the cases so i guess, not getting your parcel is highly unlikely. Plus I'd suggest you you to do the payment with paypal so your money is in safe hands.

Apparently both use the same material and adhesive
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/choose-dbrand-or-gadgetshieldz.730798/
The only difference between the installation of a protector and a skin is the application, the former needs a soap solution while the latter needs a hair dryer, right?

I get mixed reviews regarding the skinnova skins material quality and leaving a residue after removing the skins. You can check out the other skins comparison threads to get a even better idea. As for the application, yes a hairdryer is a must for the skin whereas a soap solution isn't always necessary. I'll be providing a more detailed review on the dbrand skin for the 5t once i get mine.
