That's right, it's arrived!
As we all know, Google skimped on the Corning glass on our Nexus devices, so we only have "hardened glass" instead of the almighty Gorilla; making them more scratch-prone than other devices on the market. XGear, after their successes with the Galaxy Nexus, SIII, and Galaxy Note tempered glass SPs, have just released one for the Nexus 7.

Pics @ Imgur featuring the Phantasm from my old case thread:
lol at their asking price, i would rather get another chinese tablet with JB and IPS for about 100 bucks than to spend 70 bucks on this thing
on the other hand, i would probably pay 10 bucks for something similar to this
Problem is you're not going to get glass for $10. It's not realistic. Plus you have to weigh the other facts: it feels like bare screen, it's superior protection to any other SP out there, and more scratch resistant than the actual screen. I do agree that 1/3 the cost of the device is a little crazy though.
But either way.. it's the best protection you can get for your existing device.
@ 70 bucks, get squaretrade instead, at least it will protects you against more than just scratches
if i remember correctly, asus charges about the same or less to replace someone's cracked screen
Yea. I recommend getting a SGP and call it a day.
Gorilla glass is over rated. I had my Nexus One for years completely naked and its pristine. My G2x had tiny scratches after a few months. My Galaxy Nexus.... just fine. Guess which one had Gorilla glass?
Most glass these days are tempered anyway. Gorilla is just a name brand. Still cracks and scratches. Look how many iPhones have broken and scratched glass. My son threw his Galaxy Tab off a second floor railing onto a bare wood floor... and nothing.
Its so thin anyway that it wouldn't be as strong as an actual screen. Don't waste your money.

My Galaxy Nexus screen scratched from a dime I forgot I had in my pocket, so no, not all tempered glass is created equal. Gorilla has the brand prowess it does because its hardness is so high, making it extremely difficult to scratch. Tempered glass has hardness ratings, the XGear SPs are 8H out of a maximum of 10H; harder than my Galaxy Nexus screen, so it benefits from having it on there. It will also shatter instead of the screen, leaving it intact, protection no regular SP can provide.
For the exact same reasons I'm glad to put one on my N7.

Exactly. And the SGP Ultra Crystals are the best protectors on the market bar none. To the OP, its far more likely some grit in your pocket scratched your screen, not the dime.

More likely than not they made a small production run. They're are very few out there willing to pony up that kind of cash for a screen protector. Plus, they are a relatively unknown company for them.

Jesus....$70 for a screen protector? I am sure is not THAT expensive to create this type of glass-based screen protector. This is 25% of the cost of the N7 itself.
I'll just buy an SGP screen protector.

I agree with this. While the glass may protect the main glass, you will see finger prints on this glass and then what? You get another screen protector on top to block smudges? Before you know it there will be layers and layers on your tablet and then not be able to touch the screen and use it.
I have a friend who has a glass shop. where they have special machine that can cut and polish the edges of thin tempered glass... Im thinking i should team up with him.. This could be super profitable..
They use a huge over like a kiln to heat the glass then cool it . They then cut it right before it cools to the tempered state. Then polish the edges . if the edges have one burr. when putting it back in the oven to re temper it will snap.. Ok not really a friend i Used to own a business with a glass shop next door. Had them to make some stuff for me.
Something like this anyway its been a few years ago.
The glass is cheap the equipment is expensive . The knowledge to do it is Priceless. So the 70.00 is prob a new company trying to recoup some equipment cost.
Alright, I've got more info on this "Out Of Stock" status. Here it is from the horses mouth along with a rough ETA:

You don't seem to understand the cost of the materials and labor, not to mention machining to make a product like this. Funny enough the profit margin on this is very low, and for what I know we are charging less than SGP for their tablet tempered glass protectors. I don't see you complaining about them? So please do not troll.
I know that the phone is fairly new, but does anyone know of available tempered glass screen protectors for the Droid Turbo other than the Verizon brand? Is there an ETA for anything so far? I usually just order through Amazon, but haven't seen anything that was noteworthy yet.

There are some difficulties in making a glass screen protector for the turbo's screen because of the curved glass edges. The issue is that the screen protector naturally wants to pull away to a flat like state. Because of this, you see very few companies offer tempered glass protectors for devices with the curved glass edges, and most people report a poor experience with them, as the edges release from the glass, thus making it easy for the screen protector to get pulled off.
A few solutions that have been tried are the company making the protector a bit smaller than the screen, to avoid the curved edge, but then you don't get full coverage, and have a sharp / noticeable edge from the screen protector. The other solution is to make it thinner / more pliable, but that raises its own issues (cost, loss of protective qualities).
I know Zagg is working hard on developing a tempered glass screen protector that will work with the curved glass screens, thanks to the iPhone 6 plus having this type of screen, but it could be awhile before they release it, let alone it trickles down to other devices. Once they figure it out, though, it should spread to other protectors (given most off brand protectors are made by one of the Chinese manufacturers of Zagg, just rebranding them, and likely lowering quality control a bit).
Okay, so I found 2 new entries on Amazon for the glass protectors. One is the Casebase brand and the other is the Orzly brand. The Casebase comes with 2 protectors and seems to have a better fit for the front-facing camera. I would post the links, but I'm a newbie so I can't yet. Lmk what you guys think about them.
Verizon has the tempered glass in their stores, I bought mine when I received the phone 2-3 days into the launch!

Looks like these are the thicker 9h ones with rounded edges too and the prices are rather cheap. I going to give it a few weeks until the crappy verizon tempered glass starts lifting then give one of these a shot. Thanks for posting!

I'll let you guys know how it is once I put it on, but I don't know if my opinion would be all that valid since this will be my first glass protector.
The Zagg glass for the iPhone 6, 6 plus, and Note 4 with curved screens are already available and work perfectly. I would say the fact that it isn't currently available for the Turbo has more to do with it being a Verizon exclusive than anything else.

It isn't really noticeable while just looking at the product, but the Zagg's now have a curvature equal to that of the curve of the screen. The first wave of Zagg Glass panels for the 6, 6+, and Note 4 were all defective. They peeled up at the edges and would never lay down completely flat (I work for Best Buy I install 30-50 of them a week.) The second round of shipments had ironed out whatever kinks were causing the imperfect fit.

I'm confused as to why you would want a screen protector on a Gorilla Glass screen with a free replacement warranty? Is there something I'm missing, or is there something else special about these tempered glass screen protectors?
As for me, I've never broken or even scratched a screen in the last 10 years. Guess I'm lucky.

I used to be one of those people too. I had never cracked a screen in my life because I always take care of my phone, but it all changed when it happened to my HTC One. Accidents happen and I'd rather lose a screen protector than have to use that free screen replacement. I think 10 bucks is a reasonable price to spend to protect a $600-700 phone, especially when i plan on keeping it for the foreseeable future. I still don't completely understand using bulky cases, but that's probably because I baby my phone.
Spartan glass received today - put it on and took it off - the curved glass edges do not stick and looks terrible - asking for refund

I have never carried a screen protector on my phone previously either as I felt the quality was utter **** on them and I won't look at one with bubbles and crap in it.
The tempered glass ones don't peel up or bubble (when they are not defective and are installed correctly.) They are PERFECTLY clear, don't obscure the screen at all, and they feel just like touching the actual screen. I truly consider them to be poor man's insurance.
Gotcha. Thanks

I normally look at amazon reviews. I am currently using a Casebase LG G3 glass screen protector, looking at amazon reviews in .DE and also .CO.UK this has the highest reviews as well
I am going to email Casebase now and ask them if they are making these for the upcoming LGG4 and if yes i will stick with them. You get 2 glass screen protectors in the pack and one of them is a spare
Hi, i would like to pre-order one, to receive it before the g4. Which one is the best for you?
Envoyé de mon LG-D855 en utilisant Tapatalk
In regards to which protector would be best; I am not at liberty to make any judgement since I don't yet have the phone nor screen protectors. However, I would agree with the above poster that waiting for amazon reviews to come out is certainly in your best interest. Allow the other people to identify which products do and do not work. You'll save yourself time and money that way.

Sup!
I've got a LG G3 and I ordered a screen protector from Amazon a while ago and it's a really great fit from a company called Casebase! I'm going to probably order another one for my G4. But as the previous comments have suggested you could wait for reviews and such, or you could use your previous experiences to make a purchase before hand, that's what I'm doing!
Hope this helps
Hi Guys here is the reply i got from casebase.com. I have just ordered one from amazon as well.
Hi Jack,
Glad you are very happy with the glass screen protector for the LG G3. I can confirm we have launched the glass screen protector for the LGG4. It is already being sold on amazon and it is a twin pack just like the LGG3 version. Please look out for a video going up on youtube on 14th of May showing our protector on the real device. I can confirm there are no bubbles and it covers the phone edge to edge. I suspect many other brands will not have this covering the phone edge to edge but we have used a 0.18mm korean glass for this model which does the job perfectly fine.
We hope your very happy with your purchase
Kind regards, Casebase
Think about Zagg.
I had it with G3 and I has used it for 8 months until it got damaged.
The easy clean layer never faded.

I'm a little hesitant with zagg-- after reading some of the people on other xda forums that have issues with them, and zero customer support, I would consider an enjoyable experience to be a lucky one as well. I've personally never had them because of the high price tag, but I've heard now several stories of how the quality has gone down the tubes in recent time. Again, this could be speculation, or what have you, but from what I've seen, the company is not what it used to be.

I managed to order the phone on saturday and also the casebase twin pack glass screen on saturday from amazon.de (they are showing in stock for the phone today as well which is way before release date) My tracking shows it should be here tomorrow. I will give you my honest opinion of the casebase glass screen protector when i have installed it
Regarding Zagg, they lost the screen protector game ages ago. They are just over priced and a known high street retail ripp of brand.
Companies like casebase, Spigen, Orzly, Luvitt all make good glass screen protectors at a third of the price online.

What's to say that if there was no screen protector that the screen wouldn't have been fine? I haven't used a screen protector since the G1 and never had a screen shatter of crack yet. Even with various drops. Although I could just be lucky. Or it could be a false sense of security the protectors provide?

HI - In my opinion its not a case of false sense of security. Each time i have dropped my phone hard enough and the glass screen has broken im sure if it wasn't for this glass screen protection then the phone screen would of broke. It would of at least chipped it a little bit. Either way for me its not worth the risk. I change my phones once a year and buy them simm free so its not a risk worth taking

My LG G4 and casebase glass screen arrived yesterday. I can confirm the casebase Lg g4 glass screen is a perfect fit and covers all the corners as well. I will upload some pictures and maybe a short video over the weekend
The case i am using is a Orzly Lg g4 fusion case, it offers very solid protection around the sides but also shows of the back of the phone as the case is transparent on the back. All in all my phone looks gorgeous :good::good::good:
So this will be my first phone with a curved screen. I'm assuming that the screen protector will also be curved?

this product looks EXACTLY THE SAME as the aftermarket ones being sold right now.
also, the "curved" probably refers to the curved edges of the tempered glass itself, NOT to the glass curving to fit the phone's curved screen.

The OG tempered glass from OP for the OP3 is dog ****.
I am very disappointed as it does not even cover the whole screen!
Well i believe it won't work nicely with the back covers like Spigen Ones.
Waiting for the white version and the Reviews
I've tried screen protectors with edge to edge coverage and they gradually form cracks over time. I've had no such issues with non edge to edge screen protectors, this is pretty unfortunate. I wonder if this would do any better.
I've waited for a proper 3D TGSP and would order this, but waiting for the payday
I'm counting on this official protector.
Wonder if this is like the others which don't have adhesive on the clear part.
I just spoke with oneplus customer support and they said that the screen protector has adhesive on the whole surface of the screen protector. But, I am not 100% confident in their response. Will have to wait and see the reviews

The problem is that the Redmi Note 4 has a slightly curved screen, no cheap tempered glass would cover all of the screen, unless there's a specially designed curved tempered glass for this phone, which not gonna be cheap, like this $55 one from Zagg for the Galaxy S7 Edge: http://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/invisi...xy-s7-edge/glass-curve-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge
Personally I use a no-brand $1 tempered glass, cheapest one I could find, because in my experience with a tempered glass protectors, I would usually dent, chip, or break them in 3-4 months time (that's why I ordered 3 of them in one go). But with that said, I always wondered how is the quality on the Nillkin, as they sell their tempered glass for almost $10.
Does anyone know, which protection glass xiaomi used if any for redmi note 4? Thnx.
Hi All,
I received this Tempered glass screen protector as a gift upon purchase of my phone.
As you can see from the pics attached it is around 3mm short of the edge all the way round, I understand that you need to take into account the 2.5 curved edge but it doesn't even come close to that edge.
I haven't put it on yet as it feels quite thick & I would think it feels quite bad when your finger drops off the edge.
Can someone else that has received a glass for the RN4 upload pics of theirs & compare the gaps, I'm wondering this one is wrong & not for the RN4.
Edit:
Added pic without the Tpu cover on the phone for comparison.

You think yours is bad check mine out!! Messaged the seller (via ebay) and they sent a new one in the post, only problem is that its exactly the same, so now ive got two screen protectors that dont fit! Ive a feeling its for the Redmi 4 and not the Note 4 which would make sense as the label looks like its 'Redmi 4' but it should be 'Redmi Note 4'.

Thinking of ordering this one as its 'edge to edge' and so should at least fit across the whole screen. Or failing that just a film plastic one would do. The whole 2.5 glass thing is cool but a disaster with screen protection, I had the exactly same issue with the galaxy s7. I actually thought the regular S7 would be less problematic that the S7 edge but i was wrong.

Yeah right lol, that's way way off, definitely a 5" at least mine covers the screen, sorry I don't mean to laugh at your misfortune but you should get a refund through Seller or PayPal.
Anyway I think I will go with the one you linked from eBay or this one:

(from AliExpress Android)
It looks as if it actually curves around the 2.5d edge, What do you think?

No its ok, ive got two and will just stick them together and they'll cover the screen lol :laugh:
That one you linked looks decent, maybe the soft edge will help when using with cases, as I know with the S7, there were the same kind of issues. Like the standard screen protectors didnt cover the screen properly but the full screen ones popped up when used with certain types of cases, so the soft edge might help.
Lol, no chuck em my way, I have an Xperia Z 10.1" screen I need covering & I can use my left overs from my OPPO also.
I got this one. http://m.gearbest.com/screen-protectors/pp_471483.html

Meh, fits fine on the holes. But a bit space on the sides.

Let me come back on that. Don't buy.

@gsmyth,
I'm thinking they are all the same with the 2-3mm gap all way round.
I put one on for a while but my finger catches on the crappy arsed edge all the time, it's an occupational hazard :/

They should make the same size as the plastic that covers it when it's out of the box.

I don't think they can make it any bigger because of the 2.5d roll away of glass that slowly tapers off, that would make a gap underneath I think.
I have this & it's nearly perfect:
Can't get a good pic because it just looks like the face of the phone.

It's the annoying thing about 2.5D displays, although it does feel/look nice and smooth, it seems well fitting glass screen protectors are impossible to get/make. I would gladly go back to a flat edged screen. In fact 2.5D glass and bezeless screens are two trends/features that I would be happy enough to see the back of. Im still waiting on some film and glass protectors arriving, just cheap ones of eBay so not holding out much hope of them being good, but I would be happy with just a plastic film protector just to try to stop minor scratches.

Agreed, & with the inevitable introduction of flexible screens in 2018 tempered glass will be out the window & will probably be back to some type of plastic lol.

True but the one I posted didn't event cover all angles of the screen. I am still with the plastic that came on it but it's getting bubbly on the corners so I need a solution. Lol.
Happy new year!
