I'm a big fan of carbon fibre in general, but don't really like the look of that.

I agree with you.. it looks better with just the back piece on, but until the bumper comes in stock, that's what it's going to look like..
That looks really nice.
They use 3M material.. I had the same thing on my s2 and it looks nice but feels like sh!t... Plus the nexus back looks good enough as is

Had it on my S2 too and actually really liked it. I just bought a bunch of 3M at some car tuning store and cut it myself. Still have some left and will definitely give it a try when I recieve my phone...

Does it make the screen feel sticky or add a lot of drag ?
Is there any orange peel effect?
Does it negatively impact screen clarity?

i have only had it on for 24 hours and the orange peel effect is minimul compared to other screen protectors i have used.
this is the first screen protector i have used that you can't notice when the screen is on.
as far as cosmetics goes... I saved you guys from buying this and I only picked it out because it looked like it would be a nice fit but obviously turned out to be kind of ugly, I am thinking once the bumpers come back in stock Ill switch to a clear back seeing that the front is really clear so it should look nice.
I have used all the major companies and this is my favorite screen protector so far.
also if anyone needs tips on applying the sides PM me, that was a pita

Thanks so much! I've had a clear Skinomi full body protector sitting on my desk for days. Wasn't sure if I was going to use or our send it back. You inspired me to use it.
I only applied the front and back. I left the sides for a another time if I feel I need to use it.
It's been 12+ hours since application and I have some dents that I can feel every time I swipe my finger across the screen. It's literally smack dab in the middle of my screen and annoying the Hell out of me! :banghead:
I don't like the feel compared to the naked beauty and butter smoothness that it was before so not sure how long I'll be keeping this thing on.
Been trying to find a quality, ultra slim case or pouch but no luck so far. At this point I'll take the official bumper of they'd just get them back in stock...

Hey guys,
I had a chance to review this new product by SGP and as usually I really really liked it.
I think it sits at a good price for the quality. HOWEVER, be sure to order the front/back combo as it is THE SAME price
enjoy!
http://youtu.be/w-5r2ExM7j0
Update :
The bubble in the bottom part never went away because there is dust under the shield and that is simply because I suck at installing them ..however I'm still very happy with the quality and the fact that I have another one that I can install once I get tired of this damn bubble (,each package has 2). It can get a little greasy tho.
Perfect fit with S line and both Diztronic cases

Correct . screen shields can't go all around in this type of device. Kinda making me sad as its gonna be very hard to get a full glass screen shield which I love . let's see if SGP or any of the other companies are able to step it up and develop it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
FYI, "front" version comes with 2 pieces of the front protector
"front and rear" comes with 1 for the front and 1 for the back
So, if you are already protecting the delicate back of the phone somehow, you might want to get the two-front version to have a spare one, so if you mess it up applying the first one you have a backup.
Even though I always somehow manage ton get dust under the screen on the first attempt I love SGPs screen protectors. The initial attempts were messed up but i ran the protectors under HOT water wiped them with my hands and they all installed flawlessly with no bubbles or dust. So if anyone gets these and manages to mess up on the first attempt just run it under hot water wiping it off and try again. I have the dual on my N4 and the matte on my N7, hope they make a matte for my N4.

it's not that hard. You use one to lift the edge of the screen protector and you use another piece to dab the underside where the dust is and then set it back down. Also try installing using the "hinge" method to get a dust free and much easier install.
How do you guys get 2? I received mine yesterday and only got 1 in the package

You probably ordered the Front & Back protector.
Just ordered an ultra oleophobic one and will let you know how it is when I have got it. I'm quite useless at putting on protectors too but have been practising a lot with cheap ones and I've got a certain way of doing it now. Squeegee is your best friend!!
Because I'm a Nexus b!tch and I like to run the latest source and binaries!! AOSPA!
Thanks for the review and it was great you showed actually installing the screen protector so often they just talk about it.

I can't decide with version I want. Is there much of a difference between the two when it comes to light glare? What about resistance to scratches (on the SP, not the screen itself). If you have a case that doesn't quite meetup with the SP edges, do you get a trough of crud after a while?

The Oleophobic protector is more prone to scratches than the Ultra Crystal version.
Hey guys, I just recieved this case that I bought from ebay and since I've found it so pleasent to use and to look at, I decided to share my impressions with you, so here we go. Hope you enjoy the pictures, I took a bunch since when I look for a review I want plenty of captures.
Starting off, the case is worth 8 USD and I bought it from ebay. I got it shipped for 4 extra box.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370726530130?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Starting with the case itself, its made from a hard plastic cover, wich as you can see is coloured red, its smooth at touch but it has some sort of texture on it wich you can't really feel but its there. The borders are made from some kind of tpu plastic wich is totally flexible and I have to say it has a very premium feeling on it, and the back itself has the same feeling of being a nice material that looks and feels incredible.

There are cutouts for the camera, speaker and microphones, and there's also a small cutout that follows the earpiece's shape. Off course, you still get access to your headphone jack as well as the micro usb port.
The power button and volume rocker are protected within the case and don't worry they are very VERY easy to press, even easier that without it, unlike some other cases ( that I also own that are such a pain to press ).
Regarding protection wise, I've been using this case for just 2 days and I haven't dropped my device since then but I'm sure its gonna do well. The borders slightly cover the front of the screen and since they are made to absorb the impact if it lands front-faced and the back is a hard plastic wich its gonna protect it if it lands back-sided.
What about the feeling using it? Well, the phone feels very secure when placed into the case, it doesn't add to much bulk to it to be honest, it's clearly not one of the skinniest out there but it isn't that bulky either. It doesn't add to much weight neither. It's very comfortable to hold to say the least.
I have to say that I'm very pleased with my purchase, since it is very cheap for a case that for my taste it's quite handsome and well made.
Feel free to say if you liked this little review wich I never thought I'd do.

I think it's pretty clear in the pictures, isn't it?. As you can see it offers a little bit of distance between the concrete and your screen if it falls on it, so your screen should be safe from hitting the ground.

Could you please post some pictures of it?
Just to let you guys know that I got an invisible shield for the S4 (front only) a couple of days before launch.
fitment is perfect and covers the screen up to the point of the sensors at the top and home button. I initially wanted the one allowing a skin but given that I use the cover with the hole, this was pointless.
Also the brodit car holder I am using clips from the top where the shield does not cover so it's perfect.
Not much else to say but if anyone was after one, it's not a bad purchase. Obviously still comes with the 25 year warranty on it too.
As for feeling, yes bare screen is lovely but I personally prefer the slightly matt/textured surface as it helps type and grip better than the slippy glass surface.
I have taken a pic but you can't really see anything so I won't bother uploading unless someone does want to see.

I also picked one up. Something that should be noted is that they sell different versions. The one I picked up was the HD which was supposed to be smoother than the regular one. It isnt as smooth as glass by any means but it is considerably nicer than the older plastic ones. There was also a privacy version to prevent shoulder surfing.
I will eventually migrate over to the tempered glass I think. Waiting to hear some reviews on a good sticking one, I hate bubbles or anything of the sort.
Ah yes good point
I think there are about 4 or 5 variants. I have to say and please don't let it be an insult to yours but HD had the worst of reviews. While it was more "glassy" like, it was also more thinner and was very easy to scratch.
I went for the original and so far despite a couple of rubbings at the gym, it's still mark-free.

never did like the clarity of these things. they kind of make the screen look like it has ripples. i like the regular old screen protectors.
that being said xtremeguard.com has essentially the same product for like 80 cents each i think with the promo code 'coaster'
i bought some as backups cause they're so cheap
I just noticed after my last post that I do have a bunch of soft scratches in the screen protector. None that touched the glass of the phone but still you can see them under the right light.

I bought the invisible shield extreme. There is absolutely zero orange peel on this model. It is also crystal clear. I had a few people who hate any screen protectors comment on the clarity. It really looks and feels like there is no screen protector. The extreme is a bit thicker, but it does not effect any aspect of how the touch screen functions.
I owned the original invisible shield on my last 2 phones. I will say that the orange peel was pretty ugly. They did work as advertised though...

Thanks. Well.... I guess I'll have to decide on my own whether to pay the extra $10 for the EXTREME. Wish it was cheaper.
Well, I ended up getting both and gotta say the Extreme is definitely worth it for a couple of reasons:
1. It is thicker so there is no worry about cases pushing up on it.
2. It comes out smoother and clearer without any air bubbles, but you have to wait longer for it to even itself out.
3. Easier to apply, especially with the rest of them attached to the silly new packaging.
4. More protection obviously.
Zagg hd all the way! It looks and feels like nothing is there. No orange peel rubber feel. Plus the same easy wet install.
I got the zagg extreme for $15.

Promised to do a review on this screen protector, so paulo this one's for you. Haha. Well I've had this screen protector on for about 4 weeks now, and I absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend it, especially for those on a budget. A $5.95 well spent.
Pros:
Dry application
Precise cut outs
Great touch responsiveness (Swyping with this bad boy is a breeze.)
No fingerprints
No smudges
Better visibility in sunlight
Looks sexy lol
Cons:
Took me 2 out of the 3 protectors to get it on right, or without bubbles. Maybe I'm just not good at that.
Screen quality degradation (This is expected with a anti-glare/matte screen protector. There is some pixelation, which is really noticeable on white backgrounds.)
You can but it HERE.
Pictures that took me forever.

Thanks for the review. I already ordered mine and just wanted to check out some more images of it. Out of curiosity, what case are you using? Also is there a notice gap between the protector and the lip of the case? The first few images make it seem like it, but the rest make the gap appear small.

I'm guessing you are taking about the difference between this picture of the screen protector:
vs
Well there are two reasons.
1. I didn't apply the screen protector perfectly. You can also see the little bubbles created by dust left on the screen. So I took it off, and tried again.
2. Two different cases. I doubt this affects it, however, considering I switch the cases out per week and the gap between the screen protector and the case doesn't increase or shrink.
I have two cases. The white one the Mercury TPU Nexus 4 case(comes in many different colors), and the black one is the Acase Superleggera Pro Hybrid dual layer Nexus 4 case(also comes in different assortments).

I bought this screen protector 3 months ago but never used it, as it looks like a hassle to apply if it takes going through most of them to get one that is applied properly. I just kept the stock plastic protector on mine; maybe after that gets destroyed I will give it a try.

its pretty simple just be quick, and i would day do it in the restroom, less dust in the air. always works for me.
I've installed countless screen protectors for me and friends. For the wet ones, you definitely want to be in a steamy bathroom as that helps settle the dusts. The dry ones, need to be done quickly. You can slip a small piece of tape between the screen and the screen protector to grab some of the dust. The stickiness of the tape beats the static force created by the protector. Not sure of its technical name.
My silliest method was to put the phone in the middle, on top of a fan blowing air upwards. That way it created a space where dust will not be. It worked perfectly.
Any place to buy this internationally?

Man. That sucks. Well honestly if you wanted to. I could buy one and then post it up onto eBay and you could buy it off of me for the same price. Just the shipping cost would be different since you're international. Not trying to advertise or anything just suggesting.

i`m surprised that there is no bubbling at the edges at the price the Halo is selling... or is it not caught on the picture?
I assume this will be the same for the glossy version?

Not sure man. Try looking for it in the amazon website in your country.

I mean, I guess there is. But to notice the bubbling you would have to nitpicking or looking in with a magnifying glass (not really). I'd say the bubbling on the side is about .25 cm from the edge. Really slight, and with my case on you can't notice it.
Slightly off topic, but what case is that on your N4 OP?

Acase Superleggera Pro Dual Layer Case
I wanted to go without a case because In love the feel of the phone. Has anyone had issues with the paint peeling or anything weird. My Note 3 had chrome peel off and show black underneath.
I want to keep the phone clean looking but hate cases.

The Nexus 5 is also built out of plastic and glass, and Duarte isn't apologizing for the former. "It's not cheap plastic," he says, pointing out that Google actually machines and lasers it to give it more precise lines after it comes out of its mold. "This is hardcore plastic."
Compared to Samsungs cheap ass plastic
Thank God. I love the feel of the phone without a case. Excellent build quality.
Was just afraid to scratch it up and then it look like crap.

White version here. No case or screen protector since release. Slight dulling of the shiny black corners from going in pockets. Nothing else negative to report.

Thanks for the replies. I have decided to go naked. Love the feel of this phone.

Naked white for 2 months. No problems.
Until you drop it. A very unlucky slip from ~1.5ft smack on the edge of a glass table by someone who is usually VERY careful with his stuff (that would be me).
But I agree, it does have a very nice feel to it. Too bad it's so fragile.

Any problems of white getting dirty and not been able to clean??
Until and unless it can be cleaned, getting dirty is fine
Thanks

The risks of going with no case. I've dropped mine in it's case a few times now, at least one of them would've broken it with no protection. There are quite a few posts of people who dropped it and now use a case on their paid replacements.
I was extremely lucky. The damage turned out to be only cosmetic. Rocking a Cruzerlite case now. The great irony in my case (no pun intended) is that my drop happened when I was 'in between' cases. I had just returned one and the new one was to be delivered the next day. **** happens...
I've also had the white one for almost a month now.
I've got two cases: The official Red one (that costs an arm and a leg) but couldn't get on with it. Too stiff, made the phone feel too large and the buttons need a lot of force to activate, I found unlocking the device I needed two hands for in the end.
I ended up buying a second S-Line case, also in red which is less opaque (I can see the branding through the reverse) and my phone feels much nicer in this one. Buttons are easy to use now, and it still feel excellent protected.
I did have a screen-protector for a while, but haven't found one that I like as much as I did on my old Galaxy S3, everything seems too dim with one on.

hey there,
of course you used a case with your nexus 5, but still.... did you have any problem with your white part getting dirty?
also, is the back of the phone smooth or groovy, where the dust just sticks and is hard to wipe off?
Thanks

The white back does not get dirty easily. Its smoother then the black finish and doesn't show fingerprints, the glossy sides can however.

Sorry for replying to such an old quote, I hadn't noticed I'd been quoted. My white part is still pristine.

Also: it's difficult taking pictures of your phone with your phone, without flash... Apologies for the naff picture
