Steinheil has their Ultra-Clear screen protectors available for the DROID Charge. I just ordered one and I'm hoping it works out better than the ZAGG Invisibleshield did on my Fascinate. See here
I put their incredible shield plus the ultracrystal screen protector on my Fascinate, and absolutely love it. The tacky feeling around the phone is nice for grip (especially with games) but still can slide in my pocket. And of course, the screen protector itself is smooth as glass.
Nice to see it coming out so soon for the Charge, it was weeks before the Fascinate's was available.
I swear by Steinheil. I love the way they glide onto the surface, no hassle and no bubbles.
Which version have people tested? I see they have 3 types.

I got the ultra-crystal as I didn't want any distortion to the screen and don't really care about fingerprints as they can always be wiped off.
I know I'm double posting, but I wanted to bump this to share. I got my screen protector in the mail yesterday afternoon and was able to put it on my phone last night. The ultra-crystal protectors are THICK, much thicker than I was expecting. Installation was fairly simple, didn't have to turn my phone off or anything, which is nice coming from ZAGG. There is no distortion to the screen at all, and you can barely tell that I even have a screen protector on it. I unfortunately got a small piece of dust that I can't get off at the bottom edge and that is the only place you can really see that something is covering the screen. Will see how it holds up over the next week or two, now that I'll be a little less careful since the screen won't get scratched.

I love it too, and the areas that weren't fully pressed down due to what I thought was dust disappeared, so I guess it just took a little time to fully fasten itself. The fit is almost 100% matched to the glass, so you really have to look to see that it's even there.
Looks like they are temporarily out of the Ultra Crystal. I was going to pull the trigger and that option is gone...
Edit:Well, it looks like the full-body shields ship with the UC screen protector, if you wanted full coverage.
Quick question: do these shields cover or interfere with the front-facing camera? From the illustrations, it looks like the shield covers the front camera.

It covers the camera, but the protector is completely clear, and although I haven't taken any pictures with the FFC, the image displayed on the screen when using it doesn't show any distortion.

They're sold out of their stock on sgpstore.com but I grabbed one off Amazon (sold by SGP Store, stocked by Amazon) yesterday with free shipping (got a compatible HDMI cable and TPU case with it to make $25) and it shipped today. They're only showing a couple left in stock then good luck finding one until they make more of them.

Where was that?! I just spent a good twenty minutes looking on Amazon for it and didn't see it anywhere...are these really worth the price? I assume yes, given the reaction you all have to Steinheil's products, but thought I'd ask.
I got the ultra crystal. I can barely tell it's there. Lots of finger prints... but I don't mind too much.
How does Steinheil compare to Bodyguardz, Zaggs, BSE, or clean protector?
I ask cuz I'm looking for full body protector? Plus does anyone have discount codes?
If you can wait a week or so just get some decent cheap ones off ebay like these
http://cgi.ebay.com/5-CLEAR-Screen-...238019?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a66966f03
I ended up ordering some of the ultra crystal from amazon and am very impressed.
I am less impressed with my skills, I managed to get a little piece of dust on my second attempt to apply... but other than that the thing is perfect, and my dust ended up being in a corner so i didn't want to waste another protector.
Definitely worth the money, all other protectors "ruin" the screen for me, its such a nice screen, but it still needs protection.
I had a good experience with Zagg, but hated the rubbery feel. So, I was looking into getting a Steinheil protector.
Any stores carry these like Best Buy does Zagg? Or is it online only?
I bought the cheap 3 pack from Verizon to hold me over and ugh. Super clear, but bubbles on the edges are almost impossible to prevent. I love the texture better than zagg, but there is some glare outdoors.
Is it possible to get these cheap ones on with the edges coming up? I ask because I don't think I ever seen a phone without the bubbles on the edges.

Whilst Spigen are not now promoting a free screen protector, if you look at the included items with the case, it now states "Front Cover Screen Protector 1PC", so I guess the free screen protector is still included! You have to love marketing departments.....

Before you would have 2 screen protectors in the end. The included one and the extra one (I hope).
You could order screen protectors even and choose a free screen protector too.

Up to the 22nd April, the website did not specify that a screen protector was included other than the promotional tick box. The site has now changed with a screen protector listed as included.

I ordered the Neo Hybrid yesterday and it definitely said "Front Cover Screen Protector - 1 PC" as it does now.
I also see they now have 50% off a screen protector when you buy a case.
In addition it seems the price on the Neo Hybrid was raised by $1.

That 50% discount has only recently been added!
Also, a cached copy from Google is attached showing no screen protector listed other than the free one. Hope you do receive the two

Just make sure its not fake. A lot of them on ebay are fake.

One reassuring piece of info that may be relative is that they wont ship until may 1st. Possibly waiting for inventory?

Same problem here. Get the s4 sat and slim armor may 10. Talked to my Sprint retail store guy and he said to come see him friday before all hell breaks lose on sat and he'll make sure I get an sview case. Retail expects to sell out of the first shipment quickly. Sview cases and phones.

There are some cheap TPUs on eBay that you can order for the meantime. I boughten one for $4 earlier today and it's supposed to arrive on Saturday which is perfect.

just got a response earlier about a question i asked a few days ago... WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS!
this is what they had to say!
"Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Hanna from Spigen.com.
Thank you for your recent order with us!
The slim armor will add on about 2mm on each side for the length and about 1.5mm on each side for the width. The case itself will add about 3-4 ounces of weight to your phone.
These are all approximations since we do not have the actual case available as of yet. "
so 3mm added to the thickness approximately, and 85-113 grams on top of the gs4's 7.9mm thickness and 130 grams.
not bad, for a slim case with the best protection! hope i like it, who knows lol
i think the best looking case yet is the iSkin EXO
beats otterbox thats for sure

i ordered mine to get the extra additional screen protector. spigen also sent me out an LCD cleaning kit for free. on top of that, the fake ones are probably jacked up in price just because those are just coming out too. the phone isnt even released yet.
also if you go to spigens ebay store,
http://stores.ebay.com/SPIGEN-SGP/S...5621014&_sid=1118303154&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
you'd see that the prices arent different.
also note that spigen has a 90-day manufacturer warranty and a 30 day return policy. under these policies, cases purchased on spigens website are the ONLY spigen cases covered.
"Only items purchased from Spigen.com will be eligible for this warranty." quoted from their website http://www.spigen.com/faq/ #6
Bit the bullet and purchased here in blighty.
Managed to get it on an o2 upgrade through CPW for 230. Would have like the 32GB version but 16GB should do (coming from a G2 with on 16GB and no SD).
So first concern will be screen protector.
Have you any recommendations of brands you have used or what you have currently for the phone?

I'm hoping there will be some more cases available for this phone soon, amazon currently have a couple but i really want a black one. Been considering the unicorn beetle case but there's no image of the black/black model on amazon, only the frosted/black one.
I'd be interested to hear how the tempered glass screen protector works out though
Never used one so not sure how easy they are to apply, also never bought anything from Aliexpress, is there service pretty good?
Good to know of some other UK early adopters

So for 4 of them it's $6.39US with coupon (shipping is free in US and low elsewhere).

The problem you may be posting about when you get that is that the screen on our phone has a beveled edge, either the screen protector won't make contact on the edges, or it won't cover the full screen.
It's very likely we won't see a proper full-coverage protector for the life of the device.
I just went with a custom cut one from Geek Squad, $20 well spent. (but still not edge-to-edge)

Just ordered an Xtremeguard as well with that coupon, I got the "Hi-Def Dry-Install" version. First of all, thank you for sharing it! And second, please let us know how it is when it arrives. I'm currently in Germany so my shipping will take respectively longer (18-31 Days was the suggestion with the $5.87 USPS International Shipping option, ouchhh).. But on a positive note, after the 80% off coupon the whole deal, including shipping to Europe, was only about $7-$8ish!
Anyway, thanks again

I have some random screen protector, jeez I forgot the brand....Qmust maybe?
They're all mostly fine anyway
EDIT: Woops I mean it's a tempered glass screen protector.
No proper Screen Protector yet available for MXP. I bought back covers and screen protectors, all ruined in few days.
My brotec (?) screen protector os doing just fine 3 months in.
Seems most aren't the best fits due to curve of screen but covers 98% of the screen when a case is on as well so I'm happy enough.
I recently bought a back cover for my Moto X Play. It is from "Frosted Series" of Nillkin brand. The device is much more comfortable now, thanks to the TPU material used.
Here is the link : http://www.amazon.in/dp/B0173QXAD2
Another case which I considered was : http://www.amazon.in/dp/B015XII0W8
This case is also made of Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
I don't think I'll bother with a screen protector this time around, it's got Gorilla Glass 3 already and have never had problems with screen scratches previously, with inferior screen solutions.
I shall wing it, apart from my TPU case to protect the corners of the device which is my main damage culprit.
those with xtreme guard applied, could you guys share some pics of your phone? did the film cover the whole screen?
Few weeks ago i installed a 5 euro/dollar anti glare screenprotector and it fits perfect.The edges are rounded so you will never find a screen protector that covers the whole screen.I use the original moto x play flip shell for protection and a screen protector for the anti glare look.
Has anyone seen a protector for the glass on the back of the phone? I have seen some that cover the entire back. I was hoping for one that covers just the glass on the back. I think tempered glass would be best.

I was thinking the same thing, but there will be an uncomfortable lip. Tempered is pretty thick stuff. I think slick wraps has a matte finish naked version. That shouldn't compromise the natural look of the metal.

I was thinking about trying one of those liquid screen protectors just on the back. Sharkproof I think is the one I saw on Amazon.
Man, I came across one last night. It was a UK site and they had a two piece back protector, one piece for the back glass and one piece the the bottom half. I can't for the life of me find where I saw the link. I could have sworn I saw it here, but it could have been on reddit.
Xtremeguard has a protector for just the glass. You have to buy the full back or body kit though. I ordered a set for my 5 inch pixel but it hasn't arrived yet. I got mine on amazon but don't see the XL listed there. Someone on Reddit got one and had pictures of it.

Put 2+ in cart and use GIANT92 code for 92% site wide shipping free, but $1 expedite is a tad faster.
They are the old orange peel type without the dots/pores, self repairing, adds good grip.
I install these even if using a tpu/case keeps the sand that gets in from scratching the back and phone stays mint.
Edit; forgot to mention I install these using the steamed shower in the bathroom method with great success eliminating dust. I also use the skinomi sprayer with a tiny drop of dawn to wet.

Put 2+ in cart and use GIANT92 code for 92% site wide shipping free, but $1 expedite is a tad faster.
They are the old orange peel type without the dots/pores, self repairing, adds good grip.
I install these even if using a tpu/case keeps the sand that gets in from scratching the back and phone stays mint.
Edit; forgot to mention I install these using the steamed shower in the bathroom method with great success eliminating dust. I also use the skinomi sprayer with a tiny drop of dawn to wet.

Pixel XL back glass screen protector found on Amazon
I found a back tempered glass screen protector for the glass on the back top half of the Pixel XL. It is sold in combination with the front tempered glass screen protector as well. You cannot buy it separately. It's $12.99 i believe and ships in 2 days via Amazon Prime. I just ordered mine. When I get it, I'll install it and post a pic of it here.
FYI: Clicking the link will not take you to the product on Amazon. I do not have enough posts here on XDA to post links. Copy and paste the link text below and replace the "(dot)" with a real dot and/or period, no spaces obviously.

So I'm under the impression that the glass panel that covers the LCD is not made of gorilla glass, meaning it would (in theory) scratch relatively easily. This almost certainly necessitates a screen protector, then.
However, I'm only able to find tempered glass protectors (which would be a great added bit of protection) atm, and I hate them because of the dreaded "halo effect" that totally defeats the purpose of the bezel-less display. I've been a fan of the "helicopter-polymer" screen protectors, as once they're stuck, they're stuck; however, I'm unable to find any of those.
I snagged some of the cheapo "transparent-film" protectors (only redeeming part is they give you like 6 in a pack), hoping that I'll be able to get those to stick all the way down around the edges.
Anybody found a screen protector they like?
watch the youtube video where the scratch test is performed. it is near impossible to scratch the screen. i can't see any reason to use a screen protector on this phone given that the scratch test performed as well or better than any other flagship device
edit here it is

I have the mi mix pro version and using this glass screen protector. http://www.ebay.com/itm/142182915322
Perfect fit but has the rainbow effect on the middle of the screen. It looks like it disappears as time goes on though. It's edge to edge no halo.

I'm riding naked right now. Couldn't take it anymore. Screen is too beautiful not to see. I'm using the phone for entertainment now until better cases arrive at my house.
I ordered some screen protectors as well.

Hardness test proved the ceramic is an 8, and the glass screen is a 6 (supposedly on par with most other flagship devices, even though there's supposedly no gorilla glass. I've been using it as my every day for about 2 weeks now, and the screen is pristine. I would like a film protector, but if it interferes with the otherwise gorgeous display, I may just run naked.
The case on the other hand is, in my opinion an absolute must. I like the one that came with it, and it seems like it would be pretty protective. I have no intention of accidentally dropping my cherished device (nor testing to see, even though it's insured), but it seems like minor drops might actually be handled quite well by the OEM case.

I'll have to check that out for sure. I have never dropped a phone before but who knows. "knock on wood".
I found some pretty cool phone cases on eBay and one on Amazon. Hopefully they'll get here within the next few weeks.

The last eBay link you posted is interesting as it does have what looks like extra corner protection. Might grab me one of those.

My phone came with this case on it when i purchased it. Do you have a grid of little dots across the entire screen?
Yes it does. You notice it when screen is off.

I just installed this Screen protector and I have to admit that it fits very nicely. No air Bubbles or anything.
Unfortuanely, i can confirm the amazon Reviews, that the Touch responsveness is pretty bad

Thanks. Looks like it'll be a return to amazon then. Maybe I'll go back to film instead of glass. I saw one on ebay for $3.
does it fit even w/ the case on?
