Anyone purchasing screen protector for their DVP?
I tried to search on eBay and found only 2 sellers have it,
any recommendation site that sell DVP's screen protector?
Dvp have a curved screen. Most screen protector are like paper that does not bend and stick to curved surfaces. Nine agree? It's going to be hard finding an SP for Dvp..

I don't think this is a problem, I had put a G2 screen protector on my VP and it wasn't bad. Obviously it didn't cover the entire glass but it covered the screen pretty nicely and it stayed put! (no raised edges or anything)
G2 have a curved screen just like the dvp? I didn't know that.

It will be interesting to know that as well.
Well, although DVP comes with gorilla class (anti-scratch), but its has been my habit to apply a SC for every phone i use
Might just keep searching...try my luck.

A screen protector comes with the otterbox case
I'm personally not worried about scratches on the Gorilla Glass, but I can say from experience with the SGP Steinheil screen protector for my Xperia X1 that it offers two huge benefits:
(a) oleophobic coating to limit fingerprints
(b) anti-reflective coating for additional outdoor visibility
Steinheil makes protectors for the Motorola Droid X (which has a 4.3" screen and is physically longer and wider than the Venue Pro http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...roid-x-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
I'm thinking of ordering one of the Anti-Fingerprint ones and trimming it to fit.
Nope... Its flat

I ordered this one off Amazon...well I cant post the link because I dont have enough posts but, search on Amazon, theres a few on there.
I really want a full body case but the only one thats available seems really bulky.
Hi,
I just receivedan skin from a company based out here in California. They're called Skinomi. They have 5 different styles of full body skins (clear, silver, black, light wood and dark wood). The skins are akin to those made by Zagg, Invisible Shield, etc. Skinomi backs each skin with free lifetime (!) replacements. For $20, I don't think it can be beat. Moreover, with an online coupon (get25) you can take an additional 25% off!
My sister had a Skinomi skin for her iphone and said it was the best investment she could have made for her phone (3 years, no peeling, yellowing).
Take a look: skinomi dot com
I bought one of the skinomi skins. They are the only one I found as the other traditional makers (zagg, bodyguardz, bestskinsever, etc) did not offer a full set of skins cut for the DVP. Materials-wise, its the same as all of the other manufacturers. Fit is good, and much happier now that I finally have some protection for my device. Not a fan of the bulky carrying cases, and I've had skins on my last couple of phones, so I'd recommend these.
I installed the full skin by Skinomi yesterday. I've used Zagg and BestSkinsEver on various devices, and I would say this is on par with Zagg's Invisible Shield in term of thickness. I prefer BestSkinsEver because the films are thinner and a bit grippier.
Hey Guys, This is for anyone who is still looking for a Screen Protector for DVP. I've been a fan of Boxwave's ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen protector for years, I'm so glad they release one for DVP. Some of the Great Features I like are Dust Repelling & Fingerprint Free. I highly recommend This Screen Protector.

Please let us know what you think because mine didn't work too well. I removed the Skinomi screen after a week. The Home capacitive button wasn't too responsive. It works less than half the time.

still waiting for it. Taking too long to deliver to my country. The expected delivery time has begun so it should reach me any day now. I have heard about capacitive buttons not working with skinomi.i think you should give them a feedback on it. I an sure they'll send u a replacement and lets hope, find a way around this problem as well.

got my skin a couple of days back. installed it with little hiccups (suggestion: go easy on spraying the liquid on the sticky side of the skin)
kept it for over 24hrs to dry. n now love the grip i get on the dvp.
the feeling of holding the dvp in hand has grown richer..
also i am not having any issues related to non-response of the touch buttons on the face of the DVP
another suggestion: after putting the skin on the screen of the dvp i used a hair dryer to warm the edges to make them bend n stick the sides firmly...
it's thumb's up from my side.. i am happy with the skinomi...

Just wanted to say thanks for coming back with the follow up!
I ordered a Ghost Armor kit over the weekend (should be here by the end of the week) so I'll come back with my thoughts on it. If it turns out to be garbage I'll look into getting the Skinomi kit per your recommendation varunverma.
I just ordered the boxwave screen protector myself, I've used them before and they are by far the best! I hated Zagg. Boxwave is the hard plastic type that uses no adhesive, they are perfectly clear and super easy to install, Can't wait till mine arrive this week, I'll take some pics and post them.
My full body kit arrived from Ghost Armor the other day. Strangely enough full budy doesn't include a cover for the back. I've left a message with Ghost Armor asking if this is intentional but still haven't heard back.
I've watched a couple of Ghost Armor installation videos and am super paranoid about the amount of water they use in applying the skin to the DVP. I see people recommending the Boxwave/MartinsField dry installation protectors and may go that way depending on how long it takes Ghost Armor to reply to my inquiry.
Has anyone found a skinny rubber bumper to put on their phone yet? I wish the sides/back of the phone were rubberized like the top/bottom.
Derp - There is no protective film for the back because of the textured pattern. Hopefully the back doesn't scratch easily.
Moar edits! - I was mostly concerned about protecting my screen as my first DVP had 2-3 scratches on it (is Dell using a Gorilla Glass knockoff?) despite being babied and always riding in its own private pocket. This led me to purchase a full body Ghost Armor kit. I've had my Ghost Armor on for a couple of days now and love it compared to the InvisShield that I had on a previous iDevice. It isn't spongy/tacky; scrolling doesn't seem to be impaired by the skin at all. Looking at the device head on you can't tell that there is a skin on it though if you tilt it in the light it exhibits an ever so slight "orange peel" type effect; it's nowhere near as bad as the InvisShield. The Ghost Armor skin is also fairly grease/oil resistant. I don't have to wipe my device down nearly as much as I did without the skin on it. It also adds some nice grip to the device.
I do, however, have a few complaints about the Ghost Armor kit for the DVP -
a) No skin for back cover. I realize the textured back makes it hard to get something to stick on it, but I would have at least preferred a warning saying that "DVP FULL BODY KIT" is not actually a full body kit; only front screen and sides. Would have saved myself $10 that way.
b) The skin for the front screen does not overlap and cover the two tiny chrome strips to either side; instead, two tiny pieces of protective skin are included for them. I would have preferred one big piece to cover the screen and those chrome strips as the little strips were an absolute pain in the ass to install. I actually stretched one of them out a little bit during installation and that corner is covered in lint/dust.
c) The edges of this skin are not only "sharp" (I don't think you'll be cutting yourself on them, but you can definitely feel it as you use your DVP) but are absolute lint/dust magnets. Every time I pull my phone out of my pocket I start picking away at the little pieces of lint/dust around the edges of the skin.
So far I'm very pleased with my purchase.
Well, i am getting a nexus 4 soon and confused as to which screen protector to use.
both skinomi and xtremegaurd seem to have good reviews in this forum.
Any clear cut winner between the two or any third one which should be considered since i just look at this forum and nowhere else?
XtremeGuard is really iffy. I got a bad batch from them, it came to $6 for 3 full body sets. All of the fronts were garbage, so I told them. They sent me 3 more new ones. I'm yet to receive them, but we'll see what happens...
Skinomi may have changed since I got one for my Galaxy S2, but these were like Zaggs, only of worse quality. Dust would get trapped on the surface of the skin, and it would take a lot of effort to get them out, such that I made scratches that wouldn't go away. I tried buffing it with a glass cleaner and ended up burning the surface of the protector such that it fogged it up beyond any recovery.
I hear good things about XOskins and BestSkinsEver, but I can't verify anything about those.
Get the ZAGG.

I have both the BSE and the xtremeguard for the N4. Orange peel is about the same for both(next to nothing). The BSE is the cleaner cut of the two although mine doesn't have a proximity cut out they have since changed that afaik. Out of the gate the BSE is definitely the less tacky. About the same for reflectiveness and dimensions. Xtremeguard is cheaper by quite a bit and comes with a very small microfiber.
*edit* if it matters to you BSE comes with side protectors while xtreme does not.

I agree that you should get Zagg - if you want to overpay and get a noticeable orange peel surface. If you want less orange peel (but still present) and less than half the cost, get Best Skin Ever.
I had a Zagg on a blackberry that got driven- over with my car - which completely destroyed the device. When I peeled-off the Zagg, the screen was in factory new condition. I was impressed with the protection it offered, but the orange peel and tackiness of the surface really detected from interfacing with a glass surface.
Everyone has an opinion about screen protectors, and now you know mine.

wah wah wah, no one asked for yours.
XtremeGuard sent me three faulty ones (no cut out for proximity sensor), so they sent a replacement, but only one set... i paid for three sets. plus the one they sent me turned out to be partially stuck to the envelope rendering it unusable. Still waiting for them to send me my 3 sets.
Very bad customer service, true they replay right away but so far all their replies are automated, they don't actually read what we write.
I used to have a Zagg on my GNex, but I got tired of the Orange peel effect. Swipes were pretty rough for the first few weeks as well. I ordered a total body skin from BSE and I am very impressed with it. Minimal orange peel and smooth swipes. However, I can see a few tiny dimples that have appeared and light marks where my fingernails went across the screen. But they can only be seen with the screen off and holding the screen at an angle in the light.

E-mail customer service about the proximity issue, they will send you one for free
EDIT: Just realized that those tiny dimples came from leaving my phone face down on a windows sill with paint that didn't dry flat.
It all depends what you like. i aboslutelly hate the rubbery feel protectors. I still like to feel like glass. If you want rubbery get zaggs if you prefer more like the current glass I'd recommend the Rearth Ringbo or SGP. I use the Rearth and its great and very very very easy to install.

Are the rearth ones front and back or just the front screen guard?

Hey guys, My Z3 took a nasty fall onto some tile floor from about 4 feet, flat onto the ground. picked it up and sure enough it's shattered and touch doesn't work now.
$175 replacement, more disappointed in myself than anything.
I want to make sure the new screen is more protected, but I hate most screen protectors. I don't like that they're visible, and I don't like if they affect the viewing.
The best screen protector I've ever had the pleasure of using was actually the one preapplied to the Z1/s I used to have. Never even would have known it was there if not for reading about it on the internet. Is there a similar aftermarket protector I can get for my Z3?
Been thinking of Spigen but not sure.
The glass ones are very nice. They don't affect the screen, however they're very thick compared to the more conventional screen protectors.
Nillkin glass protector is perfect! You don't even see it! For real, and also comes with a back protector (really useful).

I have the nillkin as well, purchased the rear glass protector to go with it. The back definitely is not 'hard' as the front, I have several deep scratches that I can actually feel. The anti-finger print coating also sucks...
I wouldn't recommend getting the Nillkin back glass protector.
Glass protector FTW, it has saved my phone twice now. Defiantly recommend a case too, you won't even know it's there.
I have a nillkin glass protector but it's so thick that neither of my two gel cases fits properly over the area where it slightly wraps around the front of the phone.
I have a rhino shield on mine and I'm pretty happy with it.
went ahead with the niilkin, thanks for the advice guys.

Jinxed it. Dropped my phone today and the screen shattered... but the screen protector is basically fine save from a couple puncture holes =/
At this point, I've tried three different glass screen protectors for the G5. I've tried a Pleson screen protector, an iCarez, and a SuperShieldz. All three of them didn't adhere and I had to through them away.
Am I the only one with this problem? I mean, there has to be a way to protect the screen, but I'm just getting so frustrated. If you have the same problem, or if you found a solution, please let me know...
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the rant. I'm just getting annoyed with what should be a straightforward process.
I had the same issue with the Tech Armor (http://www.amazon.com/Tech-Armor-Ba...-1&keywords=lg+g5+screen+protector+tech+armor).
Ended up with an amfilm film protector. It actually sticks to the screen and works pretty well. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-amF...507712&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+g5+screen+protector
Still using it after about 2 weeks, and no problems have come up. Hope that helps
Same here! Ordered four different ones and got fed up. Now i am using IQ shield matte film and a million times better

GPEL has a model on pre-order right now for $25 ($30 msrp I guess). It appears to be made expressly contoured to fit the G5 properly, was a video on Reddit in the G5 sub showcasing it. Might be something. This is a gorilla glass phone like all the rest of them though so you'd have to really work at it to scratch it, screen protectors are not necessary.
I would hate to go back to film protectors because i've been using them for years, but I'm seeing a ton of negative thoughts about the glass versions for this phone. Might be a good idea to sacrifice the quality so the screen can be protected.
I just went to the Spigen films and it works well, smooth with no issues with installation

I don't mind using films, but I can't find any! All I find are the tempered glass protectors (square for 1$ and curved for ~10$).
I'm looking for the film ones.. the G5 came with one out of the box (Austria) but I need more..

Not the only one, my PET screen protectors don't seem to stay adhered for more than a week. Kinda annoying. Checking Amazon reviews, there seems to be a lot of these issues.
If you like matte protectors like I do, this one has been great. I had to replace it when the spigen case (the one with the chin piece for easy battery removal) I was using peeled it back, but both installs have been flawless. I now use the thin fit spigen with 0 issues.

Very easy to install,you would never know it's on,it matches the phone perfectly. No bubbles what so ever,it does not mess with the quality of screen images or color. It fits over the curved edges nicely.It has a little bit of a lip towards the bottom,by the LG logo,but not a big deal. I'd highly recommend this to anyone wanting a tempered glass screen. G-Color did a very nice job with this. It also sticks to the edges,ive had no issues.

G5 screen protector
Just got a new G5 and been lurking around for a better screen protector and read all reviews but i'm hesitant to get any of it but I might try this.
.http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-device/lg/extreme-impact-screen-protector.html
For the minute, the one that was on the phone is doing fine for me, when it needs swapping, I'll try and get a Zagg one as theyre pretty good.
Disclaimer: No, I don't work for QiMai or the seller on Amazon. I'm just a guy who has been struggling with screen protectors since the S8+, and finally found one I'm 100% satisfied with. So I figured I'd share.
I was using the Cubevit PET screen protector and loved it, but it was a fingerprint magnet, and like all PET screen protectors got pretty scratched up.*Otherwise it's a FANTASTIC screen protector and only $8 for a 3-pack.
I had put a QiMai TPU screen protector on my wife's S9+, and you could barely tell it was there. I have to occasionally pick up her phone and look really close to make sure it's still on there. But since it was TPU I worried about it having that rubbery feel, and the SPen leaving marks.*
Since the QiMai was only $10 for a 2-pack, I decided to give it a try on my Note 9 anyway, and seriously, it's the best screen protector out there. It may not offer the drop protection of a Whitestone Dome, but as far as clarity and feel, there's no equal.*
It is crystal clear. Matter of fact it covers the FF camera and all the sensors, but it causes no distortion or interference. And it's almost as slick as the factory glass. It has no rubbery drag at all. And fingerprints wipe away very easy. And no indents from the SPen, unless you really dig in. Even then they disappear quickly.*
Ringke makes a similar screen protector, as does a few other companies, but I haven't tried them. Here is the link to the QiMai if you all want to try it.*
Galaxy Note 9 Screen Protector, 2-Pack QiMai Case Friendly Easy Install Screen Cover(Not Glass)[New Version]*https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2ZW9PG..._q.BfCbVBPDM3J
So far no interference with my cases. I use a Ringke Air, a Speck Grip, and a couple minimal generic TPU cases. So nothing that really comes far over the edge of the screen. I'll be ordering some Goosperry cases soon, but I don't see where they would interfere either.
Installation is easy, but it's also easy to get lint under it. It took me four tries. The first one was 95% perfect except for a bubble from lint in the top right corner. The second one got a bubble for an unknown reason that wouldnt go away. Small bubbles disappear after 24 hours. But this one wouldn't. Otherwise it was almost perfect.
I reached out to the seller and he sent me a free replacement 2-pack. I screwed up the first one, but finally the last one went on perfectly.
I do think I'll try the Ringke version of this screen protector next time, simply because it was a built in lint remover that picks up all lint and dust as you install automatically. But I've got no experience with the Ringke to know if it's as smooth as this one.
If you want a tempered glass screen protector, then go for the Whitestone Dome. But if you like thin, minimal screen protectors that you can't tell is there, then I highly recommend this one.
UPDATE: I accidentally tore my QiMai screen protector, so I used the opportunity to try the Ringke Dual. It's the same exact material and fit as the QiMai. It just as clear, but is slightly easier to install. It seems to be more oleophobic, yet not quote as slick as the QiMai. They are both super smooth to the touch, but the Ringke seems to have just slightly more drag to it.
But I can say I like both screen protectors and you can't go wrong with either one.

If you want a tempered glass screen protector, then go for the Whitestone Dome. But if you like thin, minimal screen protectors that you can't tell is there, then I highly recommend this one.

Nice, is it just a film protector?

Yup. Dry install TPU film.
The link is borked, though Was easy to find with search, but still..
does the S-PEN leaves marks on the film after using it for a while ?

I actually covered that in my original post:

And no indents from the SPen, unless you really dig in. Even then they disappear quickly.*

Was just looking at the Ringke and it has no install guide.
I've always hated film protectors but might give this one a try.
Does it peel off easy and clean?
So my first package of tg was a failure. Neither stuck to the screen. Returning to Amazon. My whitestone (which I'm not sure now if I'll end up using now) is still a few days away, so I ordered this to have coverage. It will be here tomorrow.

Yes it peels off easy and clean. No adhesive residue.
I actually JUST switched to the Ringke screen protector. LOL. I put my Note 9 in a sleeve to carry it without a case, and the corner of the screen protector peeled up and tore. So I ordered the Ringke to try it out. I like it just as well as the QiMai. There's some subtle differences. The Ringke is actually easier to install. And even though the QiMai feels just slightly slicker than the Ringke, I think the Ringke is more oleophobic. You honestly can go wrong with either one.

How well does the dust removal deal work on the Ringke?

Not that great, actually. I think they could have used a little stronger adhesive, but it's okay. I wound up with one speck of dust on the very edge, but I also used a dust absorber from another screen protector kit to remove any heavy lint and dust.
It turned out about 99.9% perfect, which is the best I can expect from any screen protector. I always end up with some speck of dust or bubble somewhere. It's just so hard without an actual clean room.
I will say the screen protector is absolutely invisible. You have to look very hard to see it. And the more I use it, the slicker it feels.
Just make sure it's straight and aligned before you peel off the backing (tab 2 and 3). I had to readjust mine a few times to get it straight and centered left to right. That is one advantage to this installation method. You can readjust it as much as you want before you actually secure it permanently to the screen.

This is the Ringke screen protector. I didn't get any pics of the QiMai protector.
Those specs are dust ON the screen protector, not under it.

WOW, that looks nice. I'll have to give them a try.
Did you get that result on the first try?

Yes I did. But I cheated a little. I also bought the same screen protector for my Note 8 and installed it first. So I at least had some practice.
Just use as close to a dust free environment as you can. Then clean your screen really well, remove all dust with a dust remover if you have it, then take your time lining up the screen protector. Remember, you can lift it and readjust as many times as you want before you pull tab 2 and secure it permanently.
