Does anyone have the Spigen dual side screen protector with the play store Nexus 4 Bumper?
If you do- How does it fit and would you recommend it because I'm looking at possibly getting this combo.
I could save $15 and get a poetic bumper for $5 instead of the $20 play store one. The only thing is I prefer the look of the play store one.
I can also get the play store one for much cheaper later on.
I was also thinking of getting the Poetic Atmosphere because it looks so nice on the iPhone 5 an the Spigen (just front) screen protector.
But maybe I'll just get them both and decide for myself.
I have the spigen dual ordered. Should be here next week. I have the bumper already but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. I'm not liking how it makes the phone feel. The bumper is not as slim as I thought.
I have this exact combo - simply perfect.

I have the combo as well and I wouldn't necessarily call it perfect, though I like the combo. I think the front protector doesn't cover enough of the sides, so there is a gap between the bumper and the protector... You can feel it when swiping from the edges (ex: when switching between tabs in Chrome).
I think a better case / protector combo is the Spigen with Diztronic... The case covers enough of the sides so there is barely a gap on the sides.
Anyways, since I prefer the bumper, I'll wait for the Phantom tempered glass protector and hope that the fit will be nicer.
I'll try to post a few pics tomorrow.

I have the same combo and like others have mentioned I don't like that the front protector does not go edge to edge on the screen, but it was expected. I don't like wet application ones so I'll just suck it up.

I would love to know if there are any other Dry Application Screen Protectors that cover the N4 Screen Completely?

Spigen released some dry application ones for the Galaxy S3 that covered the whole screen (which has curved edges) so we just have to wait!
Spigen has made curved glass protectors before (for the gs3) but the reviews for that particular protector are terrible.
The hardness is half that of the current N4 one they have.
Can somebody please post a picture of the combo.
And has anybody dropped their phone? Any stories about the combo?

Here you go (also showing my first attempt at snapseed haha). The protector just barely reaches to where the screen begins to curve down on the sides. The back is near perfect luckily. Let me know if you need to see any additional pictures.

FYI, the ZAGG ones work flawlessly with the official bumper.

While the novelty of the Spigen Curved Crystal protectors is nice, they are incredibly easy to scratch it seems. I have a coworker that got the Curved Crystal protectors for her GS3, and she was disappointed at how easily they got visible hairline scratches. The first one she was rough with, but the 2nd one she took care to keep covered with the official GS3 book-like case that has a front flap, and it somehow still managed to get scratched.
I really think that if you want to cover the whole glass on the Nexus 4, you pretty much have to go with a wet apply. I'm almost a mandatory dry apply person, but I must say, it really makes it look as if you cheaped out on the screen protector to anybody else that looks at your phone. The bumper only accentuates this visual problem. Personally I'm cursing LG and Google for even doing this to the screen, it seems utterly gimmicky, pointless, and makes it absolute hell to get a good smooth dry apply screen protector on the phone. I find myself actually avoiding using the sloped edge because I run right into the edge of my dry screen protector. I usually start my swipes right at the edge of the screen protector.

What is the difference between dry and wet application in terms of the screen's curve.
Correct me if I'm wrong but what I take you're saying is that wet application screen protectors will cover the entire (curved)N4 screen as dry ones won't (or if they do they won't be too good)

I don't actually have a wet apply protector myself, but I ordered a Best Skin's Ever full body set that should be delivered sometime next week, along with a Spigen Dual set. From reading up on them though, it seems like all of the wet apply ones do actually cover the entire glass, which would make sense as they're totally floppy and flexible during the installation phase. The tough part, even with those, seems to be getting them to cure and stick permanently to the curved glass.
I think I'll give the BSE a try and see how it goes before the Spigen, based on some people's comments that the BSE seems smoother than other brands of wet applies. I typically really hate the rubbery drag that the wet applies have.

I think I put a little too much contrast in it... I wish I could tell you that I have a special edition bumper or something, but I don't.

Spigen told me they are not going to release any dry application screen protector that covers the whole screen:/

I think I may post a tread for wet vs dry application screen protectors in terms of curved screen as I'm interested in finding out if the wet screen protectors actually do fit the whole screen.

That post is 2 weeks old. I'm sure that will change.
Hiya Guys,
I finally have my Nexus 4 (yay). I bought a set of dual SGP screen protectors for my phone to keep it protected, but I'm a little unhappy with the front protector. The back fits nicely to the edges as its flat, but because of the slight bezel on the front the protector doesn't fill the whole of the glass which makes it instantly noticeable.
Can anyone recommend any other protectors? Maybe post a photo or 2 if you have them so we can see what they look like when fitted? I'll grab a photo of the SGP ones when I get chance.
Hey man I think u are asking in the wrong section. You need to ask this in the accessories section.
Get Best skins ever BTW its a wet application protector...

Oh damn I didn't even see that forum! Can someone move or delete this please
Nexus 4 screen have curved edges, so the screen protector has to be cut smaller to prevent bubbling. ( dry application )
I personally don't have a problem with it, though. I prefer dry application over wet application.
So I bought this skin + screen protector:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074TZ2Y5M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I already installed the back and sides, it fits quite good, there is no cut out for the mic but it seems to work fine. The 360 camera works fine. I will install the screen protector tonight so the adhesive works overnight. Will post pics tomorrow but so for the skin is great if you want to order one.
I tried both Skinomi and PhantomSkinz. Skinomi has slightly orange peel effect while PS is smoother and better, but I guess the price reflects the difference...

Haven't notice that effect yet, this is my first skin ever on any of my phone so really can't compare but I think this one is fine for 15 bucks.
Here are some pictures, sorry for the bad quality, I used my work phone LG X Cam

I did take the photo for my Skinomi before I peeled it off, you can see the difference between Skinomi and PhantomSkinz. PS isn't perfect either but better than Skinomi IMO. However PS full body skin is $10 more than Skinomi...
I tried to install the back protector with the side and top pieces that food over but they would not stick to the titanium side pieces. Same with the clear strips

Does the skinomi screen protector work well with cases? i got the screen protector but wondering which case i can put on without lifting the sides of the screen protector.

I ordered the Skinomi. I figure I'll trim the sides a little to keep it from peeling.
I might just go without a screen protector when my case comes..
How does this screen protector affect touch sensitivity? Every glass one I've tried had magnified the touch issues on this phone by 100x.

I've been using this case: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/SEA...er-Hard-Cover-Case-For-LeEco/32856125151.html
And unfortunately all of the very-good-fit screen protectors which stretch to the edge are interfering with it. They both try to cling to the edges of the screen, which causes the screen protector to be pushed upwards and get dislodged.
Can anybody recommend something that is a better fit to this case?

I have two x727s and use the exact same case on my primary daily phone, and I have a really thin one on the other phone.
For me this is absolutely the best case, plus it actually does a great job protecting the screen, with its lip.
I also tried a screen protector. But eventually grew tired of messing with it and took it off.
At this point, I haven't had a screen protector for about a year, and believe or not, my screen still looks like new, with no scratches at all, none!
Unless, there is too much risk with your daily usage, maybe consider not using one. With that case, you probably don't need a screen protector?

I've replaced the screen with a cheap one I found on AliExpress (suspected to be from a Cool S1) and I'm not sure if the replacement one has any sort of reinforced glass (like the Gorilla Glass 4 the LePro3 originally had) to protect it from scratches and shatters. That's why I need the screen protector.

Okay, I misunderstood. So you replaced the entire LCD screen?
I will let you know if I find a protective screen.

Yep. During cooking some oil got between the glass and the LCD, and it stained it. I had to replace the entire assembly.
Thanks for looking out for glass screen protectors - I've tried a few but they all weren't a good fit with a case.
Hi,
I just replaced the display and the battery. it came with a sreen protector but unfortunatly it doesn't stick on the borders.
I'm looking for a better quality one.
Just a quick question I know the phone comes with a free case but doesn't it come fitted with a screen protector?

Depends, if you like rocking your phone without a screen protector then you can take it off, if you want to use a screen protector it's there, apparently it's a dust magnet tho (my t-mobile did not coke with one) so you can keep it on till you get a good enough replacement, or until a good glass screen protector comes out.

I using such plastic screen protector on my OP3 for more than 2 1/2 years and it's like new, only very few scratches
But you have to be carefully when you are using a plastic or silicon case. At the edges the plastics foil may get unstick

Ummmm might explain why I having problems with my screen , I put a glass screen protector over the stock plastic one as I don't know it was on there. Im having to apply heavy pressure to the screen to register a touch :laugh:
my preinstalled screen protector developed air bubbles after 3 days so i had to ditch it however i did buy 6 months of screen protection in lieu of waiting on solid glass screen protectors to surface

Haha, also those glass plastic ones only stick on the side so even without the original film underneath, you'd still need to apply some pressure.

I've had my OP7P for about 2-3 months now and the stock screen protector is still holding up. I usually don't like screen protectors because it takes away from the feel of the screen but this one is actually really nice.

I agree! For a "plastic" film-type protector it really does feel very close to glass. I wish OnePlus would make them available for sale! They sell every other accessory why not the one that is better than most? :crying:
