What's a good screen protector?
gorilla glass,so don't need it
btw the best screen protector is by BRANDO
Even with Gorilla Glass i would want one for anti-glare and anti-fingerprint measures.
There are many conflicting reports on the web re the screen, where does it state that it has Gorilla Glass.
Wrapsol, Google it or YouTube it..

nah, my opinion would be don't use any screen protector. the screen already has a stereoscopic film w/c makes the display a bit pale. so putting on a screen protector might affect the viewing quality more... been using mine for some time now and still doesn't have a single scratch on the screen(*crossing fingers)...
So now that the phone is released who is going to be putting screen protectors on them and does anyone know what the best method is for putting a screen protector on.
I have a screen protector on mine (don't trust the phone yet, nor do i have a whole lot of trust in myself). 3D still works great and the 2D viewing experience is, in practice, unaffected. Installation depends on the kind of screen protector you are going to use.

How did you put your screen protector on?
Well, i just put it on.
It's a PIXXENO C82RS (crystal clear, no adhesive). The only difficulty is aligning the screen protector properly since you'll notice even half a milimeter. Besides that you should pay close attention to dust since you would notice that as well beneath the protector. But it's relatively thick and easy to apply without airbubbles.
I'm looking to get a nice screen protector for mine too. btw, so happy with this phone! everyone I show is blown away by the 3d! usually saying "I thought it would be a gimmick but thats really good!"
For my wifes iphone I just got a generic screen protector and used a drop of water to apply and a baby's plastic spoon (solid but soft enough not to scrach/mark the plastic) to push any bubbles out.
Brando ultra clear screen protector became available few days ago - I've just ordered one.
Currently I have Proporta's universal 4.5" protector. It's better than nothing, but I feel it's too thick and doesn't adhere completely to the screen at the edges. (I know 4.5" is different than O3D's nominal 4.3" screen diagonal, but the protector almost perfectly covers the screen + keys, everything except upper area with front camera.)
I bought screen protector for Samsung Galaxy S, it perfectly fits the Optimus P920 screen, i only cut about 1-2cm at the bottom. The whole screen of P920 and touch buttons is covered, its really perfectly fits to Optimus 3D
I bought two packed pieces of it for about 6,50€ .
Just applied Brando ultra clear protector to the screen. Very happy with it, it's nearly 100% transparent.
Naturally I hate putting on screen protector or cases on my phone. I came from SGS to O3D and I didn't need a screen protector (a real gorilla ). Unfortunately I have seen some little scratches on my O3D . It looks like I will be parting with this phone sooner
Even with Gorilla Glass i would want one for anti-glare and anti-fingerprint measures.

gorilla glass only goes so much if you have, for example, specks of sand in your pocket or if the phone falls in gravel/tarmac..
Screec Protectors FTW
Could anyone recommand a good (tested!) screen protection that have the properties of anti-glare and anti-fingerprint? Some ebay links?
I´m using EXIM screen protectors: http://shop.eximstyle.com/ quality is good, price is cheap and fitment is perfect.

I have theese in my TOMTOM navigator, 3 different phone, DSLR Cameras etc..
probably something my 8yo daughter did.
it's small -- only a couple of mm, but it's there.
hell, i watched that youtube of the guy dragging a nail across his TF.
this wasn't supposed to happen, right?
anybody else got scratches?
can u post a pix of the scractch if possible?
Gorilla glass isn't supposed to be scratch-proof.
it decreases cracking from dropping not scratches sheesh what do you think it is made of diamond? get a zagg screen protector and your screen will never scratch again

It's not about strength - it is about being scratch resistant. That said, it's not scratch-proof - nothing is. Basically, if you've got a tiny scratch then it would be a large scratch if it weren't gorilla glass. You can still scratch it, but it's harder to do. Apparently sand is a big culprit.
gorilla glass is not scratch-proof, its only drop-proof (cracks)
Sand will scratch gorilla glass really easy.

ive got a scratch on mine i think sand was the cause
Dumb question maybe but surely most people use screen protectors to prevent scratches even with gorilla glass?
Gorilla glass can be scratched but its pretty good though I would never leave it unprotected for the reason it is scratchable.

I also have a very small scratch in my glass
After some time you completly ignore it and dont regard it.
i'm sorry. i can't post a pic of my scratch as i've now put a protector on the screen, which renders it completely invisible. i know! horse after cart.
this is the 2nd protector i tried; the first, a matte one, i didn't like, as it dulled the display too much. the one i have now, which shows fingerprints somewhat (not as bad as without) and causes reflections, is pretty much indistinguishable from no protector at all. very happy.
i'd recommend everybody now to get a screen protector on their TF. don't rely on the gorilla glass.
I was just talking to a friend with his Nexus Galaxy the other day. He saw my phone, SET4G the SET4G, and said he wished he had Gorilla Glass, as he had gotten a scratch, and put a screen protector on his.
Mine didn't have any scratches......... at the time, and I said, watch, I'll get a scratch now.
I got a long scratch, very light, that I noticed the other day. Plus some tiny scratches.
I don't play in the Sandbox, so I have no idea how they got there.
May have been there before, but I didn't notice. But maybe not, as I notice everything
They are very unnoticeable, but I ordered a Steinheil Crystal screen protector to slap on it.
2 to a pack for $13.99 cause I usually screw up the first install
I've read that Corning is coming out with another type of glass to supercede Gorilla Glass. I believe it's called Lotus Glass it may be available already, and may be installed on some upcoming smartphones, so I've read) and Japan already has a scratch resistant glass, I believe called Ashai? Glass.
I think Gorilla Glass has a Hardness of 7 on the Mohs Hardness scale.
The problem is that Quartz also has a Hardness of 7,which can be found in sand, as well as dust particles.
Hi all, just a quick post to let you guys know my experience with a matte screen protector i bought.
The reason i bought this one was because of the fast and free 2-day delivery just because i needed one. I got 5 very small scratches on the curved side of my screen and i was surprised about how fast it scratched compared to my S2 which has been in the same pockets.
So the main issue with this screen protector is that the screen got a bit blurry but worst of all: i see some kind of buzz going all over my screen, like when its wet. I can see red, blue and green pixels, mainly red and green though, only blue when i look carefully.
Maybe its because its a bad and cheap screen protector or because of the high density of pixels on the note 4, i dont really care as it is only a temporary screen protector but its very very very annoying.

I've tried to capture a photo but it was not visible so i cant show it to you guys.
The problems you described were actually the characteristics of a Matte Screen Protector.. I can't technically explain it to you as I dont know how it is made, but thats how it is.
Yeah I was just gonna say, all matte screen protectors look like that. Nothing new here lol.
I using one now and ordered the anker ones should be here soon. The benefits of no fingerprints and no reflection are good.
Something tells me "smartphonehoesjes.nl" isn't going to be the best of all websites to buy a screen protector (even though it means cover in Dutch), maybe that's just me. Get a tempered glass screen protector, it's worked great for me. I have MIME Ghost Glass. Not cheap though.
That's simply how matte screen protectors work. You have not received a defective product.
I wanted to gather some feedback after many of us have had the phone for several months.
In my second week of owning the phone, I put a simple screen protector on and have not taken it off. The bare screen was so smooth and so easy to clean, resisting fingerprints which the screen protector collects like there is glue on it.
Have any of you been running with the device sans a protector, and if so, how has your screen fared in terms of nicks and scratches? I would love to peel mine off if I can be reasonably confident it can live without it.

I just ordered my Moto X but I can speak from experience with other Gorilla Glass 3 screens. If you are careful with them you will most likely not get any easily visible scratches, but odds are you will get minor scratches that are only visible under sunlight/directly under a lightbulb. If that would bother you, keep a screen protector on it. If not, take it off.
I just ordered my motox, I was wondering what screen protector or tempered glass you would recommend (I'm from the UK)

Based on what I've read in the tempered glass screen protector thread, there don't seem to be any companies putting out a tempered glass screen protector that works perfectly with the Moto X 2. Because of the slightly curved screen, none of the glass screen protectors will stick properly around the edges.
I haven't used a screen protector in at least 3 years. I hate them, and think they are absolutely pointless. What's the point of protecting the glass if you are never going to actually USE the glass?
I'm using the matte screen protector from Moto's site. Actually really like it. It does degrade image quality when light colors are shown though. Regardless, the matte effect is pretty cool and just having a tiny bit of protection puts me at ease since we still don't have high quality tempered glass options.
You are using the glass, you're looking through it!!
I'm looking for a good screen protector for my Moto X.
I tried these, but they weren't good:

Anybody tried a good one?

I have not used screen protector in a few years myself. They won't help if you drop your phone. Also with Gorilla glad it is very hard to get scratches, however I have gotten some micro scratches that can be seen with the lighting just right.
With this phone I have had it for a month now and no scratches.
I really think the screen on this new Moto X is great and I would not recommend a screen protector.

I've dropped mine two times, the second of which was from about 5 feet straight onto concrete. The phone bounced, landed on the screen and slid about a foot. There's not one scratch on it. No screen protector or case. Don't know if I'm extremely lucky or this thing is a tank.
I have dropped my Moto G (1st gen) 57 times. Yes, I keep count
The screen still looked perfect before I gave it to my dad when I got the Moto X. There was one small scratch on the plastic on the back, but it was pretty minuscule in size.
I love the feel of the glass too.
I really don't think screen protectors are necessary even if you are as clumsy as me. I could just be lucky too...
Bad Luck
I've dropped my Moto X 2nd Gen 3 times now and all 3 times the screen got a new crack. I'm getting it replaced since I got MotoCare. The curved glass adds some weakness and since these curved edges extend out past the frame that is the first thing that hits on front face falls. I'm looking for a screen protector, if one exist, that will be able to wrap around the edges.

Here's the thing about screen protectors. The cheap (and not so cheap) plastic ones are mostly unnecessary. They won't protect against drops very much (maybe some of the wet apply ones) and give off a way worse feel to the finger than the pure glass. They do protect against scratches, but IMO it's not worth the effort nor the cost.
However, the new(ish) tempered glass screen protectors change a lot of that. Sure, they're kind of expensive, but they actually protect against drops, feel like the glass that's on the phone, and protect against scratches as well. However, it's incredibly apparent that due to the design of the Moto X, few companies are bothering to make this type of screen protector for the phone, and the few that are have made products that don't fit very well to the phone. So there's really no good option here in terms of screen protectors.
From what I've read, there isn't really a good tempered glass screen protector for this device yet. It seems like all of the decent ones still have issues with the sides lifting up due to the curved edges. Has anyone found that covers the entire screen and doesn't have this issue?
I think we have beat the tempered glass subject to death here... I removed my half-peeled off Tantek tempered glass protector and tried to apply a new one, didn't go so well, this one kept lifting right below the bottom speaker and I tried a little heat from a hair dryer (from a YT video) and it got worse instead of better... long story shortened, the new one is broken and went in the trash and my phone has no screen protector in it's Poetic Affinity case.
Are there any plastic film screen protectors that fit well and don't feel like cling wrap? Supershieldz seem to have mostly good reviews on Amazon, and 6 of them for $6 is pretty cheap.
Is it really worth it to use a simple film screen protector if it isn't tempered glass since we already have Gorilla Glass 3?
Gave up
I thought of this and ultimately decided on not using a screen protector at all after having no luck with tempered glass. Unless you're going for 5+ years of daily usage or live on the sand or use your phone as a cutting board, I don't really feel that they're necessary for anything other than accommodating for the massive and annoying lip that is found on many protective casings.
Realistically, how long does it take to scratch a screen up real bad? I had (and still have) a tempered glass protector on the Note 2 and only ended up with two small, minor scratches on it after nearly three years of daily use.

I would say that you should look at the old screen protector you removed and determine how scratched it was. Just a few after a year or more of usage, your probably fine running naked.

Yeah, it looked pretty good actually... Probably just going to go plain.
Been I using mine for a year and a half with no screen protector. Just an incipio octane case most of the time.
Can't see a single scratch even in bright light, at an angle, with the screen off. It has held up quite well.
I too have been thinking of going without a tempered glass. But a few times my phone drops on the screen side and then I thank my tempered glass. It's worth it for me, because if the screen breaks it will probably be very expensive to replace and I don't want to spend anything more than 2 dollars on my moto x style
I used to use zag screen protectors they make a plastic one that felt ok not great with my note 3 went to glass never looked back until the moto x pure but i don't think ill go back to plastic ill probably stick with glass and put up with the slight halo
i have had the best luck with pleson on my moto x i have scratched the glass protectors and my old pleason saved my screen. The biggest thing i don't like about this phone is the lack of good cases all of the cases suck and the otter box is poorly designed...
I have dropped getting a screen protector after getting a Galaxy S3.
Gorilla Glass is pretty tough, and I have had my Pure for probably 5-6 months now, and I do not see any noticeable scratches. Not that it is flawless, just a few very tiny scratches that I would not see unless if I looked very closely. Just go naked, and be careful when you're near sand.

Yep. Sand is a pristine screen killer. I really have no choice since I live in a coastal city. Sand is everywhere and needless to say, my glass screen protectors scratch up very noticeably within a year (doesn't matter the brand either). I baby my phones even with a sturdy case so it is not neglect on my part. I typically use a holster as well so that sand that may be trapped in my pocket cannot do a number on my screen protectors.
