If anyone gets a nice clear edge to edge of entire glass screen protector please share link.
I don't want the ones you apply with water because over time adhesive attracts dust & dirt.
EZGUARDZ go edge-to-edge, and can be applied w/o water. However, they suggest (and I followed) using water to get a clean set up.

down8: thanks ordered one exactly what I was looking for...
KRAZYADROIDMASTER: thanks but no those mirror ones drive me crazy.
I'm wondering how the dry apply will do over time. The curved glass is making me wait and definitely consider a wet apply instead.
Please post how these are when you get them.
I have a ClearFreak. Edge to Edge w/ water application, but super easy. Just google clearfreak and you will find it. They also make a clear protector for the back if you don't want a case.
Try seidoonline.com under lg optimus 2x. Can't wait untill the cases are available!

I ordered the Seido Crystal Clear Screen protector. It looks like it is going to cover the entire screen. I have had great success with their products in the past, so I am hoping for some good results with this. It is currently being shipped, so I am hoping to have it by the end of the week.

I ordered the ghost armor one and it works awesome. They give you two.

So does PhantomSkinz. Gave me 2 full sets of body shields that covers all the aspects on the phone. It says to use water but I never do, came out nice and clean.
The one from skinomi is edge to edge too
ClearFreaks are available on eBay for $4: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-CLEAR-LCD-SCREEN-PROTECTOR-LG-G2X-NEW-/300552048835

I asked for a screen protector that doesn't use water. I ordered EZGUARDZ because down8 brought it up. It was $3.99 free shipping comes with 5 pcs.
I tried first piece dry, did not look good was not clear no matter how much you work it out with a little rubber squeegee. Took it off, threw 1st piece away and used 2nd piece with a water spray bottle i had from a past zagg shield install.
Once it dried next day it looked really good, no orange peel look like zagg shield back then... i'll rock it until i find a dry static cling because dry static cling has superb clarity, you can't even tell it's on the phone.
I'm sure this EZGUARDZ over time will attract lint and dust over time on it's edges. I have a rubber silicone case over it so it may help with lint/dust.
Do we really need one? Isn't it Gorilla Glass?

Gorilla Glass just means it's resistant to scratches, not invincible.

Thanks for posting that. It seems like we won't be able to get a perfect screen protector LOL. Dry ones are the best, I agree, but the curved edges make it difficult. And even if the wet apply ones do apply better they will attract dust around the edges.
I guess it's all trade-offs.
i wish i hadn't bought the ones from tmobile they have a smudge resistant finish it makes it very hard to read through

I ordered these, received them only to realize it does NOT cover the curves sides of the screen. It is not Edge to Edge screen protection. Just an FYI. I was looking for Edge to Edge.
There are two types for $13.99/ea. Both screen protectors are dry installs.
You can choose between front and back protection or just front protection.

If I didn't just order from BSE, I'd be all over these. I'll probably get one eventually though.
I will get a bse. It will be here soon after the phone. I will keep the back on and replace the screen protector with sgp

Should I go with the Ultra Fine or the Ultra Crystal?

Nice. I'm waiting for their bumper cases. If they don't come out before Dec, I'd have to buy them in China. Surprisingly, it's not cheap over there, which means I'm paying more.

That's your call. I tried a Ultra Fine on my One X but because it didn't totally cover the screen I didn't like it. It was too visible, you could instantly tell I had a screen protector on it. I haven't tried UC, but I'm wary of it because I hate finger prints. I may just try UF again and hope that it fits better on the N4 than it did on the One X.
ann i will stay with non screen protector for now, i think that gg 2 will do the work for me wint no screen protector
Almost preordered one but unsure now due to the curved glass of Nexus 4. From the other screen protector thread, Spigen offers Galaxy S3 screen protectors for curved glass. Not sure if it makes a difference or if the preorder ones for Nexus 4 fit already.
Sent an email to Spigen..

Just pre-ordered the UC screen protector. Not a fan of the anti-glare stuff. I find it makes the screen not as nice afterwards and crystal keeps it awesome.
Someone email them about the back!

I personally like the Ultra Fine over the Ultra Crystal. Fairs much better under direct sunlight imo
Grrrrrr.....I wish they would have included a back glass protector as well.....
As previously mentioned, we need back protection too. It would be awesome if they release their GLAS-series protectors for the Nexus 4, they're made out of glass
If it follows suit like the SGP for the One X or S3, you need to get a wet application or Curved Cystal to cover the entire screen due to the curved/rounded edges. If you look at the "Screen Protector Type" on the SGP page it does show it as covering just the viewable screen not edge-to-edge and it's noted as "screen protector type".
I use the Ultra Oleophobic on my One X's and it covers just the viewable screen area, so you don't notice it really with the screen on but do when it's off. Since it's not edge-to-edge then you run the risk of scratches outside the screen protector area.
Read the description for the "Curved Crystal" for the S3 and it notes that it is "full display coverage": http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...creen-protector-steinheil-curved-crystal.html . I use the CC on my S3 and it is excellent and really is about as close as edge-to-edge coverage as you could ask for. Almost invisible and feels almost as good as a naked screen.
I prefer the "Crystal" versions as they feel more like glass and are remarkably clear.
Not a fan of this expensive and easily scratched protectors.
Bought an ultra oleophobic one for my Sony Xperia S. Scratched in one week.
According to sgp, the ultra oleophobic one is actually hard to scratch.

I bought some $6 screen protectors off eBay for $7.00... I'll just wait to see some reviews on which protector I should actually invest in.

I'm more inclined to get a pouch. Without LCD protector.

You'll still need to watch out for dust! I'm thinking about going pouch + screen protector. This phone is too attractive for a case, and I never drop my devices.
That's what I'm doing, pouch + screen protector. I'm worried not about my keyes scratching the screen, but sand. Sand is the killer for screens like the Nexus 4.

i emailed spigen about a back protector and a curved screen protector for the nexus 4.
everyone email them about it!!!!
curved crystal + crystal back = WIN!
i'm still debating bumper or just a wet skin for the edges of the phone.
i'm hoping the bumper is VERY minimalistic.
Has anyone seen or heard of a wet application Screen protector that covers the entirety of the front screen, but also has the matte/anti-glare finish on it?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You're gonna have a hard time finding that. I'd say go the dry application route, and pair the screen protector with a case. It'll do a good job of covering the edges.
Thanks, that's sort of what I expected to hear. I wonder what's preventing them from being made. I know I sure would love a matte feel all the way to the edge of that curved glass

the only matte wet protector i saw was one that offers a matte back but the front is still clear

The same thing as why we only have 2 types of bumpers available: OEM or Poetic.
Fosmon is crap
I too had been looking for a matte protector, and got one; had one on my iphone 4, but they have been really bad with the proximity sensor. I had to cut out a piece, and it looks like crap. I got the Fosmon one from amazon.
I'm pretty sure bestskinsever offers one

Your best bet is to stick with dry app screen protectors. The top ones I can come up with are SGP or Martin Fields. They aren't cheap at all, but I've been through cheap ebay ones enough and got tired of the texture and the clarity issue.
SGP won't cover the entire screen. It will leave some corners vulnerable but I have a diztronic case with sort of "lips" over the edges to cover most if not all the exposed areas. I think Martin Field's may cover more than the SGP, but not completely.
The older "Military Grade" of Invisible shield would be closer to sort of a matte finish. They still sell it on the website ( zagg.com ) at cheaper than their newer HD version which is their glass-like version of the screen at the same thinness. The older version also has sort of a rubberish feel to the surface, but it doesn't have that glossy/glass glare like the newer HD version.
How is this kind of tampered glass screen protector?
Does it affect the responsiveness of the touch / multi-touch?
Does it affect the screen clarity, especially outside under the sun?
I have never used one and I have never seen one. All my friends and family use the typical plastic screen protector. And I always use Spigen, it's quite decent brand.
But, I read mixed reports about tampered glass, some says it's better, some says it's worse than plastic screen protector. Is it related to brand?
Thanks ?
The one I had was great. Felt great, lost no clarity or sensitivity.
I think there is a thread already in accessories. Did you search

I'm using one on my g2. It feels very good. The first her prints don't smudge on the plastic. No effect on touch screen. Never going back to regular Sp.

Nillkin tempered glass = the best thing i have added to my n5.
I use a local company, local from where I live, called XtremeGuard:
http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google...tm?Click=28283
About once a month on slickdeals they have a 85-90% off code. I used the code last month and got the Spartan Tempered Glass protector. Works awesome! Here is a info page for their glass protectors:
https://www.xtremeguard.com/Articles.asp?ID=266
Got my glass cover for $7.49 and free shipping.
Is there available to prevent the glass protecting the camera from scratching?
I got a small scratch in the corner now but i dont want to end up having ugly pictures all the time.
And if there are any plastic foils/tempered glass protectors to put on it, won't it blur your pictures a bit?
The Martin Fields screen protectors usually come with a small protector for the camera lens. I have used one and saw no noticeable deterioration in image quality. This is the Note 4 one on Amazon UK:

and on the Martin Fields site:

hmm okay but this is a little bit too expensive imo..
Best thing you can do is get a thicker case so the lens is recessed.
