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.

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.

Matte Wet Application Screen Protector?

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.

Tempered glass protector enough security for N4?

Hi guys.
I have found new case for my Nexus 4, but in my opinion all spoils the appearance of nexus 4, but I found something other. It is tempered glass protector.
It cost about 9$ and look nice CLICK!. I saw many test on youtube, also drop test but only iphones and samsung, no nexus there, but It looked really nice. All times in drop test glass protector broken but screen was like new, any scratch and cracks. Does anyone test it nexus?
What you think about it like only one protector on nexus?
Sorry for my poor language. (on back only film screen protector)
Best Regards!

I'm guessing no one bothered to reply..... Anyway I know not many manufacturers offer tempered glass screen protectors for the nexus 4, but I have direct experience with some for the iPhone 5s and drop protection is superb! At first the screen looked broken and cracked but it turned out it was just the glass screen protector. I heard that the tempered glass screen protectors had trouble adhering to the curved sides so be warned

Screen protectors: What are you using?

Since the case thread was doing well, I thought I would start one about screen protectors.
Right now, I am using the iCarez tempered glass screen protector. I really like this thing. I was using just a cheap generic I picked up at the mall, but this is so much nicer.

this: http://www.spigen.com/brands/lg/g3/lg-g3-screen-protector-steinheil.html
came free with my $10 spigen ultra fit case, works great

Long time no see mrhaley30705 lol I love I carez. Very very good quality
Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

I have the bodygaurdz one from att. It does effect the screen sensitivity

Yeah I'm running the iCarez as well and it's perfect with no problems here.

Currently using the "Tech Armor LG G3 Premium Ballistic Glass Screen Protector" I found on amazon for around 10 bucks. Extremely easy installation and quite the sweet protector. It doesn't affect the sensitivity and you don't even realize it is there.
:good:

I-blason glass user here and loving it. No screen quality issues or touch issues either. Loving it

No protector

I have never used a screen protector on any phone with no problems. Just keep it clean with a soft cloth. this phone has an amazing screen. My kids use glass protectors on their phones and my wife has crap (dirt) all over her screen as a protector. I don't know how she uses it like that.

Did you get the thinner tempered glass screen protector that is .22mm or is it the normal .33mm?

Normal works with all my cases and goodies
Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

I think I got the .3mm glass. It fits my Otterbox great, once I punched out the built in one

Hate the built in one lol
Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

What's cool is the tempered glass in the otterbox looks line it was made that way.

iCarez 0.2 mm tempered glass. Super easy to put on and the surface actually feels better than the naked screen.

I'm using the .3mm iCarez and I'm very impressed. I've never used a glass protector before but I love this one.

I recently received the Bepak Nano anti-blast and I love it so far. Great responsiveness and looks clean. Covers the front camera, exposes sensors and speakers.

Screen Protector

Has anyone found a screen protector that actually sticks to the curved edges and that works along with a case? So far I've tried the Degbit brand and the Ioinic tempered glass. Both were junk and neither fit along with my caseology case.

But NOT the glass from them. It doesn't curve with the screen and will feel really awkward with using the screen edge feature.
