is there a list of full coverage ones somewhere? I don't want just the middle covered

lol.
also bought this one.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R6OFCE/
will try out skinomi first

Invisible Shield should come out with a version for the One X shouldn't they? There's quite a lot of hype in this phone and it's a high end phone. Invisible Shield makes amazing screen protectors, but then again the One X has Gorilla Glass.

only wet applicating ones are going to cover the whole thing because of the curved glass on the sides. go that route. skinomi seems to be the best thus far.

bummer, guess I should of waited until this morning I ordered the skinomi but got the drytech clear. Are you saying this most likely won't stick to the curved edges?

I got my skinomi wet application protector in the mail today. I am afraid the dry type won't adhere as well to the curved edges.

Yeah even though it has gorrilla glass 1 or 2, it isn't 100 % scratch resistant. Having it in your pocket with keys etc coins. Pebbles etc, having a screen protector won't change the look of the screen. For under 10 bucks why not? Unless you want a scratch

Thanks. I already ordered one, but have heard so much about the durability of gorilla glass that I had to ask.

Honestly, I can deal with a couple of tiny scratches a lot better than I can deal with how terrible screen protectors feel and make the display look. Anyone else feel this way?

No.

will a tempered glass cover be possible?

Tempered glass screen covers seem like the best but are the even going to be any for this phone because of the curved screen?

This is what I want too. I want protection but I still want the slickness of glass. I don't see why the curves would prevent it. Perhaps it may not fit if the curves are slightly off.

Someone will make it eventually, but to me tempered glass covers for phones and tablets are a waste of money because a replacement screen is still cheaper, not to mention the fact that you are still putting another layer of glass on your phone.

Because of the way the screen is designed, you wouldn't be putting as much glass on as you would with any other phone, another layer of glass would make this phone feel like any other phone in terms of touch responsiveness.

Unfortunately because the nexus 4 digitizer is attached to the LCD panel I don't believe it will be replaceable that cheaply. As ifixit notes "The glass is fused to both the display and the display frame. So don't crack the glass unless you're good with a heat gun, or you're fond of replacing the glass, display, and frame together ($$$)"

my gf's SGII screen has a crack and they quote 218 bucks for the replacement screen... and that's on a old SGII!
now we have these new kind of screens so replacing a 200+ bucks on a screen? might as well just buy a new N4 while you're at it!

Not quite available yet, but Nexus 4 Ultra Shield Tempered Glas - Black

Can't wait for one of these to be released , I'll finally feel like my n4 is completely protected

For anyone looking at comparing the prices between a new screen and the glass protector, a new screen assembly cost $100 brand new. Id rather put a $30 investment on a screen protector than spend 3 times that because i was stupid.

I agree man when I had my note (with the sgp glass) I got it jammed in my trunk, it was squished in between my car frame and the trunk door, when I finally got it out the only thing that was damaged was the tempered glass Haha it spider webbed and when I pealed it off no other damage

Anyone have Spigen Dual Protector and N4 Bumper?

Does anyone have the Spigen dual side screen protector with the play store Nexus 4 Bumper?
If you do- How does it fit and would you recommend it because I'm looking at possibly getting this combo.
I could save $15 and get a poetic bumper for $5 instead of the $20 play store one. The only thing is I prefer the look of the play store one.
I can also get the play store one for much cheaper later on.
I was also thinking of getting the Poetic Atmosphere because it looks so nice on the iPhone 5 an the Spigen (just front) screen protector.
But maybe I'll just get them both and decide for myself.

I have the spigen dual ordered. Should be here next week. I have the bumper already but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. I'm not liking how it makes the phone feel. The bumper is not as slim as I thought.

I have this exact combo - simply perfect.

I have the combo as well and I wouldn't necessarily call it perfect, though I like the combo. I think the front protector doesn't cover enough of the sides, so there is a gap between the bumper and the protector... You can feel it when swiping from the edges (ex: when switching between tabs in Chrome).
I think a better case / protector combo is the Spigen with Diztronic... The case covers enough of the sides so there is barely a gap on the sides.
Anyways, since I prefer the bumper, I'll wait for the Phantom tempered glass protector and hope that the fit will be nicer.
I'll try to post a few pics tomorrow.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I have the same combo and like others have mentioned I don't like that the front protector does not go edge to edge on the screen, but it was expected. I don't like wet application ones so I'll just suck it up.

Spigen released some dry application ones for the Galaxy S3 that covered the whole screen (which has curved edges) so we just have to wait!

Spigen has made curved glass protectors before (for the gs3) but the reviews for that particular protector are terrible.
The hardness is half that of the current N4 one they have.
Can somebody please post a picture of the combo.
And has anybody dropped their phone? Any stories about the combo?

Here you go (also showing my first attempt at snapseed haha). The protector just barely reaches to where the screen begins to curve down on the sides. The back is near perfect luckily. Let me know if you need to see any additional pictures.

While the novelty of the Spigen Curved Crystal protectors is nice, they are incredibly easy to scratch it seems. I have a coworker that got the Curved Crystal protectors for her GS3, and she was disappointed at how easily they got visible hairline scratches. The first one she was rough with, but the 2nd one she took care to keep covered with the official GS3 book-like case that has a front flap, and it somehow still managed to get scratched.
I really think that if you want to cover the whole glass on the Nexus 4, you pretty much have to go with a wet apply. I'm almost a mandatory dry apply person, but I must say, it really makes it look as if you cheaped out on the screen protector to anybody else that looks at your phone. The bumper only accentuates this visual problem. Personally I'm cursing LG and Google for even doing this to the screen, it seems utterly gimmicky, pointless, and makes it absolute hell to get a good smooth dry apply screen protector on the phone. I find myself actually avoiding using the sloped edge because I run right into the edge of my dry screen protector. I usually start my swipes right at the edge of the screen protector.

What is the difference between dry and wet application in terms of the screen's curve.
Correct me if I'm wrong but what I take you're saying is that wet application screen protectors will cover the entire (curved)N4 screen as dry ones won't (or if they do they won't be too good)

I don't actually have a wet apply protector myself, but I ordered a Best Skin's Ever full body set that should be delivered sometime next week, along with a Spigen Dual set. From reading up on them though, it seems like all of the wet apply ones do actually cover the entire glass, which would make sense as they're totally floppy and flexible during the installation phase. The tough part, even with those, seems to be getting them to cure and stick permanently to the curved glass.
I think I'll give the BSE a try and see how it goes before the Spigen, based on some people's comments that the BSE seems smoother than other brands of wet applies. I typically really hate the rubbery drag that the wet applies have.

Love the BestSkinsEver for the Nexus 4. Wet install but incredibly smooth with almost no orange peel.
Of course the installation is everything. You can have the world's best/worst screen protector depending on how you install it.

I bought Skinomi skin...and failed too bad on the front.
For some reason, the BLACK Skinomi towel spread black particles and some of there are now between my screen and the protector
Also...is superfluous me some up and some down. Is taller than N4....
Now i bought 3 extremeguard from eBay...but i think it will be the same ****...(i hope no).
I want the "Basic and Rigid" 100% Clear, cheap cover....that i had on my S3...."Screen Guard" was called.
1 or 2 "mm" smaller than the S3 just to have a little more chance to install it without excess.

Really appreciate the responses everyone. I will try one of those out for sure

I have xtremeguard in the front and back. The cut outs are good, but the covers are two to three millimeters too short along the width of the phone. The covers are wet application type which means that they have a bit of a rubber feel. The one thing that I don't like about this cover is that they eventually peel along the edges.

It depends on what you are looking for. Screen protectors (good ones) will take the impact of an object and keep it from damaging the glass. I have been a fan of xo skins for a while because they self heal and are one of the few that resist sand. If you go with a glass type or acrylic, they do feel smoother, but you will begin to see scratches and scuffs that don't go away. The wet install ones also fill in existing scratches. The xo ones have the closest to glass feel, but are still the aircraft skin type without orange peel. Just depends on what features are most important to you.

agreed, I bought the xtrmeguard as well and the size was spot-on, but the screen cover feels too rubber-ish (almost broke my fingers couple times trying to slide ), so I decided to change to regular screen protector; besides, I'm already used to leave my phone away from any sharp objects.

The 'dual' part just means front and back.
I've been using an SGP on my N4 from day one (~Dec20) and it's been perfect, comparing to the one that comes with the phone is laughable. The SGP looks and feels just like the bare glass to me. It does attract face oil and fingerprints, but that beats scratches, and it's nothing a quick wipe won't solve.

Does the spg kind come with a lifetime warranty against scratches?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

I used SGP on my Galaxy S2. It works pretty nice, feels great. My only complaints were it attracts fingerprints like crazy, and a year later my screen protector has some minor scratches on it (not really visible when the screen is on). It happens since the hardness is only 4H and stuff like sand is a lot tougher than that. But I'm just glad its only the screen protector and my actual screen.
I had the Rearth Ringbo Screen protector on my Nexus 7. They fit really nice and look great. Feels fine, though the only OCD issue I have with it is when the screen is off, the screen protector displays almost like an orange peel effect (probably anti-UV coating or something). It does a better job of reducing fingerprints but its no where as bad as the SGP ones.
If I had to pick to get one for my Nexus 4... I'm leaning towards SGP again.

Note 3 Display Protection

Hi there guys. Those who are curious like me to know about the screen of note 3 has gorilla glass 3 protection or not, here is the answer.
I emailed samsung customer service and they replied me back and told me it got gorilla glass 3 protection..

Does this mean I can finally get rid of the annoying screen protector and use the phone as it's mean to be used?
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app

No. Gorilla Glass 3 is the same as Gorilla Glass 2 except it's thinner. It's only scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Sand can easily scratch glass. You may not think your around any if you're not near a beach, but sand is every where. All it takes is a few grains to end up if you're pocket or a table you set your phone on to scratch it's pretty face. If you like living on the edge go for it, but I'll continue to use a screen protector.
Maybe someday we'll come up with inexpensive and tough Sapphire screens. That's when you won't have to worry about scratches. Since the only thing harder than sapphire are diamonds.

I've never used a screen protector, on any smartphone, and have never had a scratch on the screens regardless.
What bloody idiot puts his phone face down on a table? Does that not defeat the whole point of having a screen?
On the older models with speaker on the back it made a bit of sense, (not really, because the table served as an enhancer) but not on this phone.

I learnt the hard way, I used the Note 1 with no protection for 12 months and sold it with no scratches on the screen. Then on my Note 2 I used a Samsung flip cover, at some point the velvet coating picked up some grit and whilst it was in my pocket scratched the hell out of the screen! Now my Note 3 has a tempered glass screen protector on, and will always have one on!

Mine came pre-scratched
But you can't see it at all when the screen is on. And when off it's barely visible, and you have to hold it just so to see it.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Guys. And girls.
Check your Samsung user manual. Does it tell you not to use a screen protector? Yeah. It really does.
So: go without a screen protector if you want to, and if the screen does get scratched, bring the phone and the user manual to the store while you still have valid warranty. You should be able to get a new phone or a screen exchange.
It says it right in the manual. So if it does get scratched, use your rights as a consumer. You used your phone according to what is outlined in the manual and now it has a defect, so you get a repaired phone or a replacement. You know... That's what the warranty bit is all about.

And it looks and feels amazing to use. Well worth the money.

Now you're making me interested. Does the protector feel the same as naked screen? I always want the smooth glassy feel of the screen.

It is glass.... A thin layer of hardened glass over the screen.... Feels like it's naked but gives awesome protection. Costs a bit more than the normal screen protector but well worth it...
The one I got - spigen glasT - has a few different coloured home key raisers in it too... Pick of black, clear or pink...
Oh, and the easiest install I've ever done with no bubbles... Line up on screen and then swipe finger down middle.... Lightly press out any air bubbles that are left, if some small bubbles left over, just leave for a day or two and they disappear... Brilliant....

Thanks, I think I might give one a try.
