I was wondering what luck people had finding screen protectors, preferably wet mount without orange peel effect, that have a cutout for the proximity sensor, or at least have been shown to not affect its function.
I'm trying to decide on what protector to pull the trigger on, so I can have it, and a case before my n4 finally arrives.
In terms of the case I'd love the google bumper, but well... you know... So I guess I'll get some decent TPU case in the meantime.

Best Skins Ever is wet application with minimal orange peel effect, only noticeable when viewed at an angle under lighting, does not affect screen quality at all. Orange peel effect is unavoidable with wet application skins. Supposedly, there is a revised version with the proximity sensor cut out shipping now. I received the earlier version without the cutout and is in the process of having it replaced. Definitely recommend it, only issue I had was with the proximity sensor that should be fixed with the new revised version.
I have bestskinever without proximity cut out, but my sensor works just fine

XO skins, there's no orange Peel effect here, very small area cut out for the proximity sensor.... It goes right to the very edge and an excellent fit... Not ideal for tpu cases but it's doing me until i get a better case.
You can get a case fit version of the skin though.

I ordered the BSE on November 27 and the set I recieved has the cut out for the proximity sensor, so I think they're up to speed sending out the revised version.
Extreme guard no cutout and all seems fine with proximity sensor

I'm using a Terrapin screen protector which DOESN'T have a proximity cut-out but doesn't cause any problems either.
Xoskins are very good.plus they have lifetime warranty and it does have a cut out for the proximity sensor. Wet application, easy to install .
And they have both a regular fit and a case fit one that doesn't go all the way to the edges for those who like to have cases on their phones

Any of the threads should have more plenty of information about it, but I just installed the full body set from BestSkinsEver last night. The front skin does have cut outs for the proximity sensor AND front camera, and the rear skin has cutouts for the camera, camera light AND speaker port.

I highly recommend ZAGG. Cutouts fit perfect and the sides aren't so short that any case or bumper you put on the phone will eat into it and ruin the screen protector.
use none, live on the high road naked screen ftw

Here's my review thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056507
I dislike wet-type screen protectors (well only used Zagg) and didnt like it at all.
Felt really plastic and left orange peel affect on the screen.
Spigen i have never went wrong with, but quite expensive for what it is.
Chinese generic stuff seems to be ok. I just use them and replace it every 1-2months since its so cheap
Although I know I might get some hate for this, I'm using the Invisible Shield from Zagg and I quite like it. Been using this protector for my past two phones.

I have this SPIGEN SGP Galaxy S4 Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM Premium Tempered Glass from 10th of September 2013 on my phone.
I loved it until about a month ago for no apparent reason it started developing this bubble under the glass in the top right corner (see pictures).
I didn't drop the phone nor tried to lift the screen protector since I put it on. At first it was smaller but it keeps getting bigger little by little.
I tried squeezing on it, to get it to stick back or push out air bubble with significant force to no avail. I take good care of my gadgets keep them in cases and clean so they look like new, so this thing annoys me a lot
Anyone knows why this would happen?
That's just what happens with glass screen protectors sometimes. My iloome did it for my iPhone 5 and now my S4 as well. My friends bought Chinese glass screen protectors and it did it for them on their S4. My seidio vitreo did it on my iPad 3. Though my iloome on my iPod is fine, and it's been there for a while. And my mime protector on my iPad mini is fine for now. So it's really hit and miss in my opinion. Hear the thin ones (spigen nano, iloome flex, mime feather) have a slimmer chance of this happening though.

It happens when force is applied to the edge of the phone/screen protector.
I found that it doesn't take much to cause the glass sp to lift up.
In my particular case, the lip of my case would apply just enough to lift top left corner of my glass sp.

It's a shame I really like this glass screen protector but now it looks ugly, I guess next time I'll go for slimmer version.
But still something had to cause this because it was OK for four months. And as I said I take care of my phone, never dropped it sat on it etc.
So it's bit strange why it would do that.

All the time I used Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my phone so it's designed by the same company and doesn't touch the glass.
I just recently purchase Case Mate barely there case that you see in the pictures which doesn't touch the glass either.
This has happened to me with every tempered glass product I've used from Spigen. And it happened relatively soon too; within the first few days of use. I can't see it being an issue with my screen being improperly prepared either, as I am very meticulous when it comes to screen protectors.
I absolutely love their cases and plastic screen protectors but I can no longer justify spending $30+ on their tempered glass.
Decided to go with Iloome Flex and I have been having much better luck so far. Over 60 days use and still no issues.
Here's a couple pictures of the Iloome Flex just for comparison http://i.imgur.com/LvG0JMr.jpg
Just wondered what the best way is to clean these without ruining the oleophobic coating? Thanks

Folks
Recently I bought the UAG Maverick Case for my Note 4, and it's stunning beauty made like to resist any space impact with a style.
The screen protector film came with it is indeed offers decent protection, but it's terribly one fingerprint/smudge magnet. My hands do sweat at times and indeed gets oily often. So y'all can imagine how awkward using a beast.
Also the touch feel has been horribly ruined with the protection film, The feel of Spigen premium series is entirely different from this.
Many of the Note 4 users has said, Tempered Glass offers tough protection without taking down much the actual glass feel of the touch screen. So pals, Please do suggest me the best tempered glass solutions which covers a bit out of the display area (black screen) with the UAG Case on.
No Halo effects, Fingerprints and smudge shouldn't be attracted and must be wiped like in actual screen.
Thanks

I have a UAG case with a Moshi iVisor edge-to-edge protector on. Application was easy and there is no halo. It fits fine with the UAG case. However, please note that I have not tried taking the case off, and I have only been using this setup for just over a week. Others have reported that the iVisor can get dust under it through time, as it only has adhesive round the edges and not under the glass. As yet, I have not experienced this. An alternative might be the Momax or the Tough Armour as I believe these do have adhesive under the glass as well as the edges. I purchased a Momax too, but have not tried it as the iVisor is perfect at the moment. (Note that the first Momax had the capacitive buttons wrong (menu instead of recent apps), but on the one I got that has been corrected). Have a good read through the many threads on Tempered Glass protectors, as others have experimented with different brands and also use UAG cases.
I bought an arcadia full screen protector. It did not work well with UAG. Popped the glass up. I loved the look of the glass that I got rid of my 2 uag cases.

Thanks Kinsman-UK giving your view on Moshi iVisor! :good: Just can't think of getting dust/debris getting through the edges as it may result more damage than actually keeping the screen bare. I've checked the Momax website and found Glass Pro XS Screen Protector but turned down no luck to order one
I ordered my Momax from shop.brando.com - they seem to still have black and white versions available, post internationally.
Is that all?
I've gone nuts selecting over tons of brands, seriously picking up the right phone was never been this hard.
My prime needs are,
1. Compatibility with UAG Case over the phone. It must not pop of even on the small impact with the case.
2. It must sit some area more than actual screen (black area).
3. Good bonding with screen and don't let any dust/debris let through the groves or edges of the protector.
Somewhere landed between some premium and well known brands, viz
iloome, Moshi, MOMAX, intelliARMOR
I don't know about other people's experience but I have dropped my Note 4 three times in the past week (I know! Unbelievable, never dropped my old phone once, and then I get a new one and...) - anyway, the Moshi was not affected by the drops and is still firmly attached. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, and haven't had the UAG off an on yet, but it seems fine. I think the Momax will probably be even better as it has adhesive all over, but I haven't tried it on yet because the Moshi is fine for the moment. The only thing I would say is that when applying the Moshi I left the phone out of the case for two days, and applied pressure all around the edges to make sure it was well adhered before putting the UAG on. This is just my experience, so just FWIW and YMMV etc etc
EDIT: Note that the Moshi does have a 'dot matrix' pattern in the glass (something to do with the way it is strengthened I think), but it is only noticeable if you look closely in direct sunlight. I only mention it because some people may see this as a problem - doesn't bother me (in fact I struggle to see it at all in normal use).

Can somebody point out a plastic (wet application) screen protector that is confirmed to have a proximity sensor cutout?
I have looked at amazon and while some of the product photos do show the cut out but people are still complaining about it being absent on the actual product.
I bought a supershieldz TGSP and one it was missing the cutouts and two it didn't fit my phone due to dent on the screen. So I ordered IQ shield wet application SP since it showed cutouts in product photos but after when I received it, it was also missing the cutouts.
any help is appreciated.
Here Skinomi has confirmed it has proximity cut-outs and design has been updated as of lately so give it a go:

The Ringke screen protector I received with their fusion case came with the proximity sensor cutouts.
Seconding the Skinomi. I have it on my 6p and it's working great.
I have a plastic (dry application) screen protector with no proximity sensor cutout and I have no issues.
I thought the non glass screen protectors did not need the cutout

Spigen Crystal Film is the best plastic one you will find and yes it has the proper cutouts. I always keep them as a backup in case i break my TGSP or decide to remove it because dirt gets under it. I've used the Spigen plastic ones for a while on my Nexus 6 because no TGSP would fit for the first 6months i had it.
I can confirm the Skinomi® TechSkin - Huawei Nexus 6P Screen Protector does have the cutout. I received a revised version in the mail right after my first one shipped. I am using the original one without the cutout and it works just fine. I think people that were *****ing are clueless or were using the glass protectors. I've had a Skinomi on my Nexus 5 for 2 years and the proximity sensors were covered on it and I never once had a problem.

X2 on this!
I don't even mess with TGSP's anymore simply because of the added cost and the Spigen Crystal Film is so good. Plus the Spigen Crystal Film comes three in a pack. If you mess one up you have spares on hand. I can't tell any difference between the Spigen Crystal Film and glass on the phone!
haven't used a screen protector in years. Does the lack of a cutout for the front facing camera on the Spigen screen protector affect the camera at all?
anyone know if a screen protector fitting only the touchscreen portion? im using a skin (slickwrap) and dont want to apply a protector over the skin... yet. much rather have just one layer instead of a double layer here and single layer there.

The screen is supposed to go black when you put the phone up to your face and come on when you remove the phone from your face. Are you saying that your screen goes black instantly when not even next to your face?

Interesting. I noticed that Spigen also modified the Nexus 5 screen protector on the replacement I just received and it has a cutout for the proximity sensor now too. I wonder if there are slight differences in the sensitivity of them causing issues for some but not others? Your screen isn't scuffed up where the proximity sensors are is it?

Your guess is as good as mine.
My 1 week old N6P isn't scuffed up at all.
I have a Skinomi Non Proximity cutout protector - which I ordered on 11/02 but they have since redesigned a cutout newer version.
That said, it's still gnaws at me that the N6 guys have the same issue & this just started getting louder after M6.0 was released.
I do like the non-cutout protectors better & have never had this issue prior with any other phone.
But if it's hardware or software related - either way wish Google would issue a guidance.
