SGP Spigen screen shield review - Nexus 4 Accessories

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!

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

Use tap to remove the dust or the sticker things that come with the Spigens.

Does anyone have a coupon for this?

Nice review! I think some poeple forget that the edges are curved a bit and its hard to make a screen protector that doesnt bubble up

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.

The one thing I notice is there is nothing under the glass so it has the opportunity to give more...like in the ball test shown as opposed to having no room to give....I am sure the glass is stronger butility from my point if view that ability to give and flex helps with the resistance...I could be wrong but that's my 2 cents

Probably just people trying to scratch it on purpose and say it scratches easy.
If you're worried about scratching the screen, just get a .50 cent screen protector.
Always be safe than sorry.
I have a protector on mine but I've heard ppl complain they didn't do anything and it got scratches, they said the gorilla glass 2 is not as durable/strong as the 1st version, my x2 has gorilla 1, never put a screen protector on it dropped it couple of times, never got no screen damage, I've seen the test on YouTube when they drop any phone with gorilla glass 2 it cracks, shattered, got damage, versus any phone with gorilla glass 1 held up more, took more of a beating? Look at YouTube videos judge it yourself.

Well I guess it depends...
here is the Always on SG3 torture test... (check out @ 4 min and 6 min)
I'm pretty sure when people say they "didn't do anything" and it still got scratched, that that isn't quite true..
I didn't bother with a screen protector on my SG3, and I haven't had any issues..

I usually never put a screen protectors on my phones because I'm generally pretty careful with what I do with them, but about a week in I already have a light scratch on my GSIII, nothing too noticeable but also not done intentionally. Going to put a VZW protector on it just because I'm OCD when it comes to that stuff.
I always have my phone in my left front pocket and only money/receipts and soft objects will go into that pocket, anything else like change and keys goes into the right.
Lol that video was sick

I heard that when you drop the ohone, the screen may break easier because the glass is attached to the display directly, which also means that if the glass shatters, the screen is dead, too. As opposed to the S II where they weren't attached and the display would be fine even when the glass would shatter.
The reason they attached them is to, make the phone thinner or something.

Got a new screen on order. 250. Will be getting a bigger case. But not until I put in the screen and its working. I figure why waste more money if I need it up.
The sell the screen and bezel/frame so it's a little easier to install.

Ionic Guardian case still 75% off at Amazon

This case is still on sale on Amazon at around $15 incl delivery. Quite a few people have reported delivery issues (delays, cancelations, etc) but from what I've seen the people that have the case are pleased. Just so you know the case cones in two pieces (thanks All__fun). I think if someone wants a cheap but theoretically durable case, this is a good starting point. If you don't mind waiting.
It is nice and well made. It is definitely the bulkiest case I've had as of yet. Also it's difficult to charge using the lg wcp700. It works but has to be put on the charger precisely.[/QUOTE]
All__fun said:
let me just add,
That after having the phone with no case for about a week now,
adding this case truly adds girth to the phone.
Previously the phone would slide easily in and out of my pocket,
you can't tell in the picture, but the case is actually a 2 piece case, a soft inner case, that the phone slides into, and a hard outer cover that gives the phone it's design. (the white, black, pink, or blue distinction.)
This is probably the best case out right now for the phone, but I can't stress enough how thick and bulky the phone is now. If you are willing to sacrifice it's sleek design, this case offers good protection.
I don't have a screen protector on right now, so I cannot add whether or not this peels off or interferes with the protector.
I will also add that with the Ionic case on, when looking at the lock screen, I find it more difficult to swipe left and right between different lock screens. I have a screen lock pattern, and that registers my finger strokes rather than a swipe to a different lock screen.

1. is there a speaker cutout?
2. are there optional dust plugs for it?
3. if it's on stock on dec 17, will it arrive to NY before christmas?
thanks!
a seperate question: did anyone find a drop test with this case? i don't seem to find anything on youtube, i couldn't even find an official site.
fugly
i have to agree with the rest of you that it is one fugly case. ugh the price of protection.
If you hating on the circles just get black?
I ordered a blue one just because I'm board of black. I will let you how it is when it comes.
Perhaps the cutouts allow it to cool a bit and also make it lighter.. I don't think it looks bad.
As long as proximity works and the USB and head phone jacks are open I would buy it..

Possibly the uglies case I may have ever seen. But in terms of protection, it looks promising. For ten bucks I would order one right now, if Amazon would accept PayPal. Anyone know of a way to bypass?

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...

Best thing to scratch your screen - a credit card

Somehow i didn't learn my lesson when i scratched my gs2. I had to do it again
Put my phone in my pocket with my card facing the screen. .result ? tinny, almost invisible scratches.
For me is like the grand canyon... they are there. Almost no one could see it, but those fuc**** are there.
So guys. . attention to those cards touching your screen..

Credit cards can collect very tiny deposits of quartz and other hard substances from being swiped in card readers and used in atm card trays.
This makes it not only relativley dirty... but dirty with very hard materials that can scratch GG.
Always wipe your credit cards clean before you pocket them with your phone... or... dont store anything at all in the same pocket.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 2
I learned my lesson when GG2 first came out. I never saw any real scratches but when looked at under a light at an angle there were a ton of micro scratches. Here's the protector I use; they're on sale BOGO right now. They are wet apply, easy to put on, and dry so tight you really can't tell they are there. They also don't yellow or pull up over time. I'm still using the original set I put on my N2 last November.

Here's one on a One X...
Its not the credit card... its the sand (quartz) and dust that constantly rubbed against your screen while you were perhaps walking. Check a few videos in you tube where they tried sand paper on gorilla glass, it still got scratched.
GG is not scratchproof... its scratch resistant.

if you buy a $600+ phone it might be a good idea to get a screen protector for less than $.99. going back to the hd2 days when GG was said to be scratch proof which later we found out it wasn't. this is now 3rd gen GG and it still scratches. if you like to take care of your expensive "toys/work instruments" it doesn't hurt to protect. the value of your phone does go down after a few scratches but again its preference just like you said.

I like the feel of my screen without a protector on it. I am just really really careful with my phone and never put it into my pocket with anything else in there.

this describes me perfectly.
No offence but anybody who cares phone for $700 in pocket with other stuff even chevygums and then complains is stupid to me...thats all!!!
To me screen protectors are like condoms. You put rubber for protection but you get a different feel.
And I'm sure many here are willing to take the risk and not use 'em!

I use a glass screen protector, which means the feel is the SAME.

[Q] Metal trim like the N4?

I'm trying to figure out if the Edge will have metal trim around the sides like the N4 or plastic like everything else before it...
Anyone know?
It has a metal trim , it has been confirmed by numerous sources .

Thanks, mate... I fingered an Edge last night at a Samsung kiosk. The phones were all warm so I couldn't feel cool metal. Asked the Samsung rep and he didn't know. In fact, he whipped out his phone and googled up a story on android authority that said it was plastic.

I have the phone and can confirm it is metal sides like Note 4.
i have the N4 right now and planning to get the Edge (give wife the n4). However, i am not liking this metal business as it scratches (hairline and small knicks) FAR easier than the plastic used in note 1,2, and 3. I have not even dropped the n4 and it has a bunch of hairline scratches. I used the note 3 for 9 months and it was pristine. ARGH!

Same here. Mines is in a silicon case.
I just got word that my screen protectors ship form amazon. I should have them by next friday.
There suppose to cover the whole front. I had to return the other ones i brought because they only cover the flat part.
Unfortunately scratches on the metal trim are somehow unavoidable, especially with some tight fit cases like UAG.

As you can see these are rounded at the ends and are a bit longer pass the camera.
They should be here in a few days and ill update and let everyone know.
The other ones that work are the SKINOMI

yea if you take the pictures and do a 1:1 that one will be bigger.
I wonder if they will come out with a tempered glass version. I don't like plastic screen protectors.
I spoke to Iloome and they said the tempered glass flex screen protectors will be coming sometime in January.
