hi, i bought this dry apply screen protector for my galaxy nexus and it causes the white color to glow (it's hard to explain it looks like after you touch your screen with moist hands). the rest of the colors seems just fine.
why is this happening, and what screen protector do you recommend?
thanks,
dvir.
edit:"this dry apply screen protector" can't link to the ebay page since i haven't written 8 posts yet. it's a simple 1USD screen protector.

Hi all, just a quick post to let you guys know my experience with a matte screen protector i bought.
The reason i bought this one was because of the fast and free 2-day delivery just because i needed one. I got 5 very small scratches on the curved side of my screen and i was surprised about how fast it scratched compared to my S2 which has been in the same pockets.
So the main issue with this screen protector is that the screen got a bit blurry but worst of all: i see some kind of buzz going all over my screen, like when its wet. I can see red, blue and green pixels, mainly red and green though, only blue when i look carefully.
Maybe its because its a bad and cheap screen protector or because of the high density of pixels on the note 4, i dont really care as it is only a temporary screen protector but its very very very annoying.

I've tried to capture a photo but it was not visible so i cant show it to you guys.
The problems you described were actually the characteristics of a Matte Screen Protector.. I can't technically explain it to you as I dont know how it is made, but thats how it is.
Yeah I was just gonna say, all matte screen protectors look like that. Nothing new here lol.
I using one now and ordered the anker ones should be here soon. The benefits of no fingerprints and no reflection are good.
Something tells me "smartphonehoesjes.nl" isn't going to be the best of all websites to buy a screen protector (even though it means cover in Dutch), maybe that's just me. Get a tempered glass screen protector, it's worked great for me. I have MIME Ghost Glass. Not cheap though.
That's simply how matte screen protectors work. You have not received a defective product.
Hello,
I prefer black faced phones, but recently received an almost new white Moto X pure (XT1575) as a gift. An exchange is not viable, as there is no receipt (and it was used a few hours for compatibility testing).
I've seen colored (non-display face area) glass screen protectors for other phones, and thought it would be a great option to turn the face black/darker, but haven't been able to find any for the Moto X pure. Do any such products exist?
I don't know any of those "colored glass screen protectors", but you can use skins from the following companies (might have more, but i only know these):
DBrand
Slickwraps
Stickerboy
Skinomi
If those skin makers don't have you covered get used to white I tried nearly all screen protectors trying to find one that did not halo and none had colored parts. Also pleson is the one I got that stuck to my phone without much of a halo...
The only glass screen protector for this phone like that is from Tranesca which you can find on Amazon. However it will not cover the white face completely (which is obvious when you see the pictures). They have white and black colors but are designed to help the screen protector "blend" and be less noticeable. Another strange caveat: it is a floating glass with the adhering part bring the areas where the white or black is.
I personally use the black one on a black face and it works OK.
Not worth the hassle, but if you must...

This. It's the closest thing to what you're looking for, but it doesn't cover the I/O area at the top of the face of the device, so it'll still obviously be a white phone. Also, the transparent areas for the proximity sensors on the bottom will probably look a little odd too.
That said, I tried the Trancesca screen protector, but ultimately wasn't happy with it because the mask actually cuts off the far edges of the screen, so you may have to turn the phone to see text that is too close to the edge. Also, it just doesn't feel as good as a conventional glass protector that adheres fully to the screen. Tapping one's thumb against it, it just feels plasticky and unsatisfying. For that reason, I've given up on tempered glass protectors altogether for this phone and am completely happy except for the fact that the TPU I'm using has a massive lip that is no longer compensated for. Still, the viewing angles gained are worth the compromise. Just don't scratch your screen.

Thank you for elaborating on this. It took some getting used to this screen protector because of the kind of plastic feel you describe. The blocking of text is pretty rare for me so I just deal with it since I prefer to have my screen protected from scratches. I live near beaches and with sand being common place, it is worth the little bit of hassle. All glass screen protectors I have owned have scratched, but none of my devices' screens have any. The only other glass options either leave noticeable halos or are just shy of the edge of the viewable screen (which leaves a noticeable line in field of vision), which to me are both annoying as I consistently notice them.
I see this one on Amazon from Mocolo and it looks like it does? But its shipped from China...
Most of the glass screen protectors leave about 1-2mm of space from the screen to the edge but it's due to the rounded edges on the screen. Another issue that has been ongoing is that the glass screen protectors are not sitting well and there is a "Halo" effect around the edges of the screen on the screen protector.
So far the Skinomi, Phantom Skins style screen protectors sit the best but some have had minor issues with cases.
I just ordered the Mocolo screen protectors yesterday and I'm hoping they don't give the Halo effect.

"Halo effect" means not cut short enough.

Sort of, the halo effect can be related to the screen protector not being cut short enough (or too long) where the screen bevel begins and the adhesive does not adhere to the outside edges of the screen protector.
And/Or
The adhesive does not adhere to the outside edges of the screen protector causing an unsightly "halo effect" where there is a unsightly discoloration/visual issue.
It is easy enough to see on the multiple threads and or can be Google searched for more pictures or a better idea of what it looks like.

will be interested in how that Mocolo works out
Check out "Brotect" protectors. They do tempered glass, "air glass" and normal plastic ones, all clipped short of the curve and therefore case friendly.
Used one if their protectors on a previous phone and seemed fine. I have the airglass one for the ph-1 here but not fitted it yet
Skinomi just released one. I have their full coverage one and it is fantastic.
Update: forget about the Mocolo TGSP, it's cut too short on the sides. So much so I didn't even bother putting it on. I'm sure there won't be a Halo but it leaves about .5mm on either side when I did a test fit.
I've now purchased the lightning knight, Orzero 3rd gen (I think, this is the one with full adhesive but rounded black border, and Mocolo TGSP. Fitment wise the lightning knight (LK) fits the best but has Halo. The Orzero is wider than the LK but from what I've seen in the reviews the Halo is horrible. I'd also assume that it would be bad as the Orzero goes to where the screen starts to round at the edge, also it might be an issue with cases.
You can see the Mocolo on Amazon and the fitment issues in the purchaser gallery.
I have the mocolo in clear (not black) and unfortunately halo effect is pretty bad, just like the rest. Quite ugly so ripped it off and currently going without anything.
I gave up.
I'm going to use the approach of others with a liquid UV adhesive and a screen protector with no glue.
I've bought a few from Xtreme guard and they fit perfectly with any case!! Plus you can get em dirt cheap by searching for promo codes. Got mine for .99 each!!!
Anyone know of a screen protector that doesn't affect the colors? I bought a supershieldz edge to edge protector, but I could notice right away the colors are degraded with the coating on the screen protector. Right after I took it off, I could notice how bad it was.
Any good protectors that don't affect the image quality/contrast of the colors?
skinomi screen protector looks ok to me. it's a thin protector and is wet application. only issue i have is finger oils/prints are rather noticeable compared to others i've used in the past.
As most of the protectors out there have notches, and don't cover the upper area of the top speaker, I searched for a product with holes instead of notches. I found
[3 Stück] Panzerglasfolie Schutzfolie für Google Pixel 3A,Tempered Glass 9H
for 4.99€ on amazon.de .
After I installed, it felt a bit sticky. But after using it for a couple of minutes, it felt great.
I am using ArmorSuit MilitaryShield
It's film, not glass but it's perfect with Spigen cace.
Hi guys
Yesterday i bought a new screen protector (ceramic screen protector, i guess its a mix of pmma and tpu) and now when the display is off i saw vertical lines (similar to rainbow effect) i cant put images because of xda forum rules. I would like to know if someone have the same issues
I have a Huawei P30 and i had already put 4 tempered glass protectors and always get some white edges. Also i would like to ask you if white edges can damage the cellphone
Yeah. That's always from the screen protector. But the only way to really make sure is to remove the screen protector and check. I stopped using tempered screens because of this reason. full adhesive screen protectors exist and don't give you this rainbow effect but they are quite rare.
Lucky for you, I'd like to share you want ended my quest for the perfect screen protector. It's this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LFZR671/
or anything that uses this technology. I believe Jetech screen protectors are similar but couldn't find one for LGV30.
They adhere to the screen perfectly like they don't exist at all, and they don't have that yucky cheap plastic film feeling to the touch. I swear they almost feel like there's no screen protector at all.

Actually the one i have had ton of adhesive on it (it was a nightmare to put it on because of the dust). Maybe is something with the layers of the materials i expect.
Maybe you can answer me
Do you know if white edges or the "halo effect" damage the phone or it just an aesthetic thing?

It's hard to tell. I never gotten white edges on any tempered screen. And usually screenprotectors of any kind are harmless. Can you tell me what device it is and send a picture? An imgur link would work.
