Hey, I personally dislike glossy screens and always have had matte screen protectors. I was looking for suggestions for ones that would work with a case, probably the diztronic TPU, and that have the proper cutouts for everything.
I saw nillkin has one on ebay, but thats the only noticeable one I've seen.
goo.gl /sFa5l
I second the above. Would love a good matte protector.

Spigen makes some, but I believe they're generally out of stock of them?

(The oleophobic ones)
Description on SGP has this.
"Ultra Oleophobic has an oil resistant coating to resist oil and other contaminants. Ultra Fine screen protector is matte type hard film which resists against fingerprints and smudges, but it is less clear compared to other Steinheil screen protectors."
Ultra Fine isn't in the list though. Oleophobic is matte for sure? But it doesn't say anything about it being matte. I assume that this confirms it though: "Any marks and fingerprints can be wiped away easily."

I had an Oleophobic SP from SGP on my previous phones, (Atrix and RAZR) unless i remember wrongly, oleophobic series are still clear protectors, they just come with an additional coating to make it more fingerprint resistant.
Try Clarivue: www.clarivue.com. I haven't had time to install mine on my N4 yet, but it does have the cutout, and I've liked Clarivue screen protectors on my LG G2x.

I did a review of the Clarivue privacy protector in the accessories thread. I would recommend the anti glare vs privacy. Clarivue is great though. I have a 10 percent off coupon posted at the bottom of my review that can me used on any products from their website.

There's got to be a decent alternative that doesn't break the bank (i.e. well below $10). The Spigen and Clarivue ones must have murderous mark-ups.

Just a heads up for any fellow SGP fans. They now have a crystal clear protector for the front AND back of the N4. i really wish they had an ultra eleophobic version, but i've used the crystal clear on my e4gt and have been extremely satisfied with the quality of the product. clarity is crystal clear just like the name states, and its very durable.

Do these cover the entire screen?

I think the front only covers the screen areas not the curved parts. The back since its flat might be fully covered

guess the complaints come from people who bought it early.
SGP has stated that they now include the proximity sensor cutout for all their N4 screen protectors.
Bought the dual protector and will see if its good. been holding off for too long to let the companies iron out the creases
these do have the proximity sensor cutout. it doesnt cover the front completely due to the curved glass, the following is a review of the oleophobic protector on a One X which also has curved glass. the reviewer points it out at about 1:50. I actually dont mind it, and it isnt even noticeable. only way you're going to get one that covers the entire screen is if its a wet application protector. but the quality/feel of wet apply protectors is just not for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcV0AJzNC4U
No SGP protector completely covers the front screen. They are cut too short all around and do NOT extend to cover the area just before the curved glass and the curved portion itself.
There was also massive issue with the proximity sensors malfunctioning due to SGP. They have allegedly "revised" it but no telling if you get stuck with some old stock.
Personally, I've owned and dealt with SGP. Too many negatives with their product and too many other better choices to be bothered buying from them anymore. I can't recommend them but good luck to those that do buy.
Note: If you want a screen protector that covers the ENTIRE SCREEN including the curved edges with cutouts for Proximity censors and camera, I highly recommend Skinomi. :thumbup:

Do you have the Skinomi protector installed? If so, how does the screen feel and does it work with a case?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I got the SGP before they fixed it, no cut out so the phone was a pain to use, also if you do not get the screen protector exactly in the center of the screen one side tends to lift due to the stiffness of the film. I sent mine back and ordered a Skinomi, should have that tomorrow.
Funny as my Spigen does not have the proximity cutout, only the camera and everything functions as it should.

Yes, I've had my Skinomi on for over a week (front & back).
The screen protector adds a tiny bit of grip which is great for keeping it from sliding off surfaces. It's not sticky like I've found some other screen protectors like Zagg but it's not as butter smooth as the naked screen, as to be expected!
My fingers glide smoothly over the screen with no noticeable drag. So far it feels great. Again, not as good as the naked glass but almost.

I ordered the oleophobic screen protector for my N4 (which I'm still waiting for from Google) and found out I did not receive the revised one. A quick email to them ended up in me receiving a second set for free days later without needing to return the ones I already have :laugh:
I find Skinomi and most wet application screen protectors to easily form imprints and wrinkles that don't "heal" perfectly after a while, although still not bad. Just received an XOSkins full body kit from their Cyber Monday sale which I'll compare to the Skinomi one on my iPod Touch. I'm also getting the bumper, so the lack of full coverage on the SGP really doesn't affect me.
I just got my oleophobic and although it seems to be recommended by everyone, it got scratched from day one. Never had the same problem with Zagg or others. Conclusion: I wouldnt recommend SPIGEN! Sounds fancy - "olephobic"- but doesn't actually protect or fit as well as others.

Oleophobic coatings are always softer than glass. By ordering that one, you essentially chose fingerprint resistance over scratch resistance. Glass with oleophobic coatings is also more prone to scratches because the coating itself scratches or wears down with use. Ask anyone with an iPhone 4.
If you want scratch resistance, get a harder screen protector (like the Ultra Crystal).
i would be looking forward to have this skin compared to the XOskin protector. I've used XO skins before and they are great! but i wonder how this does when they are side by side

Anyone who currently owns an LG G2 knows the frustration of not being able to use a Tempered glass screen protector.
(yes there are many on the market but none of them fit 100%)
This is due to the "2.5D" screen glass, with its curved edges.
A Flat piece of glass just simply does not fit over a curved one.
The Note 4 has this same type of screen with curved edges, as does the iPhone 6.
All the major players in tempered glass screen protectors have said they are looking into it.
Think anyone can figure out how to make a curved glass screen protector to fit?

better to say as same as S3 (don't compare SAMSUNG GALAXY with apple iphone )
i remember the solution for screen protectors for S3 was small size.
i mean not edge to edge protector.
but for temp-glass...
maybe some glass + plastic i mean plastic for edge of screen and glass for front
two types of material in one protector !!!
i think its possible! (maybe )

There are already tempered protectors being sold on eBay, I've just ordered mine, they also state the 2.5D part too, we'll see what it's like when it arrives (a week or two after I actually get it, if it arrives on day one)
here this might be good for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Tempered Glass), a ballistic tempered glass screen protector
http://goo.gl/lkrAKf
Will be getting that tempered glass for sure. Out of curiosity, what effect (if any) does the glass have on the touch performance or S-Pen performance?
I'm going to wait and use a quality traditional type protector as also concerned about if the Samsung flip will close properly.

None for me.
I ordered from sw-box.com, we'll see how it turns out. For less then $4 I won't complain.
I just placed my order for the Mime Ghost glass protector. They have the best protectors Imo.
so the note4 has the same curved screen type as the note2? that's essentially what this 2.5D is right?
Well, my protector has arrived, wayyyyy before the device has.
I thought it was just going to be Note 3 protector rebadged, but it isn't, it wouldn't fit the Note 3, but until my 4 arrives, I can't see what the fit is like.

I just reviewed the LG V10 Tempered Glass Screen Protector from Supershieldz®. Nice Fit, no bubbles, no lifting edges. Check out my review
MOD Edit: Referral links not allowed and have been removed
Got mine and it installed perfectly. It covers the view screen area but i do wish that it goes all the way on both sides since the side rails are elevated. Would have been easier to align it with the sides flush. The screen is flat so i dont think there would be any halo effect. Ill live with the gaps for now.

Did I see correctly that the protector goes over the two front cameras? Don't most screen protectors leave a cutout for the cameras? Doesn't having a glass placed over the the camera deteriorate the camera quality and the pictures it takes?

From the product pictures it shows a cutout for the 2 camera area. I cannot confirm nor deny if it really is cutout though as i have not purchased yet.

I actually did want to try out the SuperShieldz screen, but for whatever reason, they aren't available through Amazon Prime. I can't wait much longer for a screen, and the expedited shipping ended up being more than the price of the protector itself. And since basically every other screen is out of stock, I jumped the gun and ordered this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0154RS59Q
Truth be told I'm not going to expect a whole lot out of this one. I'm just getting it to tide me over until Zagg comes out with a protector for this phone, because I'm really not comfortable using the phone without one.
But who knows? Maybe it will end up being a keeper - it even comes with a lifetime warranty. I'll be sure to let everyone know if it's good or not when it comes in.

Wow, 0.26mm is indeed the thinnest, just wonder will it be very easy to break and can it still protect your phone , as other brands usually don't make that thin
Don't forget the easy clean (oleophobic) layer.
Some fade rather quickly that makes the surface pretty nasty.
So far Supershieldz looks OK.
Price: 7$ (incl. shipping)

What I liked about it:
It protects the phone but still keeps it slim.
All ports are fully accessible, I can plug in any cable; other cases can't do that.
feels good in the hand
looks good

I think so, only bare metal is visible.
Also, I ordered some more, that fully cover the phone. Will post pictures as soon as those arrive + one NILLKIN Bluelight-filter thing Tempered Glass is on the way and should arrive soon, will post that one too.
What's on the way to me:
Mod Edit
I wont make a drop test, but can tell you that the sides of the phone are covered and so are the edges.

Cool, thanks. Will try to order this case
Just got today nillkin soft case, fits perfectly, buttons really comfortable. Price 7$ with free shipping (mine delivered in 2 weeks from China to Lithuania)
Here's link: MOD edit
I have very similar case (Nillkin frosted) for my HTC One (M7) and it is great. It did saved my phone couple of time including dropping it on a concrete surface from 1.5m. The design is very similar and will protect the screen also (it has raised edges which should absorb the hit). One disadvantage is that it doesn't protect the bottom/top side of the phone (where connectors are placed) so after a few years I got my phone heavily damaged in those areas (I'm not particularly gentle with this one). Ordered similar one for my Mi5
i already put nillkin tempered glass on my Mi5 and wear it a nillkin frosted shield.
but the frosted shield push the tempered glass, and the tempered glass is opened so often.
do you have similiar case like me? how do you fix it?
Confirmed. This case feels awesome in the hand!

I've had a Nilkin hard shell for my OnePlus One for 2 years and it's still in great condition and the phone is immaculate because of it.
Glad to see they make one for the Mi5!
You should definitely check the Ringke Fusion case as well. I got the Fusion smoke black for my black mi5. It looks good with this one too and it feels well protected. I replaced the Nillkin Nature TPU case which I had been using The Nillkin Super Frosted shield looks good too though.
I also have the Nillkin tempered glass installed (for about 3-4 days ) and I can spot already some minor scratches on it. I never had the phone in the same pocket with my keys.. I hope it will last more than 4-5 months before it needs replacement..

Ordered the clear Ringke Fusion case. Thanks!
You are welcome! I hope you are enjoying it!

so far it didn't destroy a single one of mine. Using it formore than two months now and had no problem
I did change the temepred glass inbetween, tried one of those "blue filters" -> what sucked. So went back to a normal tempered glass.
But anyway: did not break my tempered glass with this thing.

I am using the same NILLKIN super frosted Shield, no extra thickness whatsoever, feel premium, and above all, retains the beauty of Mi5.
Today, I have ordered Graphene Armor tempered glass protector, with a minor doubt whether it will fit or overlap with the back case.

How do you like it? Would you recommend?
People should put temperate glass with nillkin frosted on MI5 for perfect alignment.
No issues here.
With this device so new there hasn't been time for many amazon reviews for cases and what not. What did you end up going with?
I went ahead for the official translucent case and I'm waiting for screen protectors to be available. I'll try to grab a Spigen if they get released soon enough.
EDIT: I purchased the Spigen GLAStR screen protector and it should come by tomorrow. I'll see how it behaves with the Google case. I'll probably go as well for a Spigen case, we'll see. But maaaaaaaan do I love this phone, it made me go back to XDA and be involved with it...
mine buy on amazon delivered before the phone with screen protector included.
Google case. Cheap screen protector from Amazon. So far so good. No issues with finger print sensor. Few dust particles that's killing my OCD.
Went with the Spigen Liquid Air Armor...thin rubber, just to keep a grip.
Getting these for my pixel 6a today will send pics when I get them

Went with these two, screen protector went on easy with the alignment tool, and the case is nice and grippy, although that's not a card slot in the back like some reviewers say it is, it's just for grip.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid (I may switch to one of the Armors, which is what my 5a has, depending on how I like this one)
Tempered glass screen protector (has an alignment frame and worked beautifully)
Tried Caseology Nano Pop, thought it too slippery. Ended up with what I had on my 4a, Spigen Rugged Armor. Would like a spongier feel, but at least it has texture all the way up on both sides.

I am using the Spingen screen protector, it is excellent and does not cause problems with the official case
Yesterday I ordered several shells I could change them every day like that.
Spigen Liquid Air Armor and the LK tempered glass screen protector. I've had great luck with both companies in the past.
I ordered a cheap one days ago when I ordered mine, because Ghostek did not have one yet. I see they have one today listed. The cheap one actually isn't bad. A snap on outer shell and "rubber" outer cover. Back has a small window open around rectangle camera and then a clear window down the back. https://www.cellularoutfitter.com/c...phone-case-black-clear-hr-qbshbum-6apix-clrbk I still may order the Ghostek though, been using them for years.

do you have to increase the sensitivity of this glass or is it possible?

Ditto, Spigen have been my favorite for a while now
I ordered the Spigen Liquid Air Armor Designed for Pixel 6a Case (2022) - Midnight Green and [3 Pack] iVoler Screen Protector Tempered Glass for Google Pixel 6a 5G 2022 (6.1 inch)[Fingerprint Unlock Compatible] with Easy Installation Frame[Not for Pixel 6] 9H Hardness Clear Film Bubble Free
I like the case, it's nice and thin and has a good texture on the back. I might get something a little more bulky since I'm coming from a Pixel 5a with Otterbox Commuter, and I like the feeling of something more sturdy in my hand.
The screen protector worked out well. I initially had some trouble enrolling my right thumb, but on the second try it worked fine. However still some unregistered fingerprints can unlock my device... but I haven't got any OTA yet.
I bought Caseology and Spigen. Returned the Caseology, thought it didn't have enough grip. At least the Spigen has ribs the entire edge, much better grip.
is there a case to make the back of the phone flat? so the camera bump is leveled with the rest of the phone

My Spigen Rugged Armor is flat.
Dont get the iVolar, FP scanner stops reading prints after installation (even when I deleted my registered prints).
