There are two types for $13.99/ea. Both screen protectors are dry installs.
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.

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.

Hello,
I have scratched my screen, i take care and we have Gorilla Glass 3.
So, is there an original screen protection on the Nexus 5?
It was happened to me with a Xperia.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

pre installed screen protector is not really a protector, just a piece of plastic which can't resist scratches much. you're better off with a 3rd party screen protector.
And LG coats the screen with a proprietary layers of oleophobic coating, etc etc during manufacturing so that is what you touch when you use the phone naked. Also this doesn't offer protection.

I think I know what you are asking about.
Sony Xperia phones come with a "mandatory" Anti-shatter film installed on the screen which Sony expects you to keep on forever. However, this film is prone to scratches which is why they recommend putting a screen protector on top of the film. If you try to remove the film (which is glued onto the screen), what's left is raw glass (no coating). The glass is not gorilla glass. Removing the film also voids warranty. I bet a lot of people didn't know that when they buy Xperia.
As for OP's question, there is no such "screen protection" on the Nexus. Only the Sony brands do this.
I know what you're talking about. It's the film that Sony puts on their devices that can't really be taken off without a knife. Apparently that scratches really easily but the screen underneath doesn't. No, the N5 doesn't have anything like that, and yes, it does scratch very easily.
i know s4 and n5 both use gorilla glass 3 but my nexus 5 is still getting more and more scratches where my s4 doesn't have one there really is a difference in the quality no one can tell me any different, because if their wasn't there would be no scratch on my n5 as i tram them exactly the same put them in the same places and i have had my s4 for a lot longer
You will affix the phone screen protective film to protect it?

Yup
Considering that I have a 3 year old brat and a big fat slippery hand, yes I would definitely put on a screen guard
Yes I always have one on every device that I own. I prefer tempered glass, so lets hope that someone makes one thats good quality for it.
Nope, haven't used screen protectors in more than two years. They take away the premium feel of the screen. Gonna get me a case though, since I will be carrying it around in bags an such

Tried that Crystal spray on on my phone, did not notice any difference. Phone still got scratched .
I won't be using a Screen protector on the Nexus 9, currently have the tab S 8.4 and i use it without a SP. Screen feels so much better without that plastic on top.
I am not one for film screen protectors, but I do like the glass screen protectors
I guess the good thing about a glass protector for the Nexus 9 is that you don't have to worry about the sunken button effect that you'd get on an ipad.
Are there any for sale yet for the Nexus 9 ?

No idea..... Most likely will not but you never know...
Also the glass screen protector has been shipped as of this morning
I had the same question too.. The only company that claims to have anti-glare coating and a tempered glass screen protector is BodyGuardz. I talked to them earlier and they had no plans to release a Nexus 9 version, nor they have a UK presence.
Also, I havent seen many out yet (which makes sense) but there are a few on amazon. I was wondering if you came across any 'good brand' tempered glass screen protectors I can order now and hopefully will also help in reducing glare.
Hey all,
I've used one on my note 4 since day 1 and its been the best investment. Not a single scratch on my pretty and its unnoticeable. So far on amazon I see a bunch of small brands marketing theirs. Wanted to know if anyone had an experience with Sparin, ijoy etc. Maybe the consensus is to wait for Spigen, Steinheil and others to come with theirs? Please chime in.

There are really no good curved ones for the S7 Edge except one from China and that one seems to break very easily. Doubt it will be different for the note 7. I'll either go with a flat tempered glass that only protects the flat part of the screen or the IQ liquid shield. The IQ shield that I have on my S7E is okay but nowhere near as nice as a tempered glass protector.
I'm not sure if it was a Gorilla Glass 5 sample, but I swear I saw a Samsung branded tempered glass on a YouTube video (the ones made by the reviewers) from the day of the presentation.
Give a look when the camera rolls over the accessories on the tables on stage.
I'll check it out...thanks. if I can get a glass one I will have to rotate a bunch of skinomis and Chuck em at the orange peel phase.

I ordered that one since I use their tempered screen on my Samsung Tab S2 and have had no issues so far.
I have a follow up question on this... based on the S7 edge screen protector discussion it seems that even if a protector works it doesn't work with cases. Has anyone tried modifying the case like shaving off a little bit so it fits the screen protector? I have been wondering if that could be a way to make it work.

Yeap, I experienced this when I bought the S6 Edge and returned it due to no tempered glass working perfectly with the Edge to Edge display. I'm hoping things improved since the curve display has been out for a while and this has a slight curve to it.
I've always used tempered glass protectors since my S4. my dad has an S6 Edge and I bought a few different tempered glass protectors and they do not work properly at all. They usually all have an "edge" adhesive. Just a strip of glue around the edge of the device instead of the whole screen like flat screen devices.
For this phone I bought the Skinomi note 7 protector.

As per other posts; I've gone for the amFilm glass protector for my Note 9; it worked superbly with my Note 8 and I think the glass protectors do better on the Notes than the S series; as the Note screens are less rounded
I might go for the Whitestone Dome on too; but at x3 the price of the amFilm, I'll start at the cheap end and go from there
I've also got the Unicorn Beetle Supcase for my Note 9 and will order the i-Blason Ares case too as it's more lightweight than the Supcase:

Whitestone here for me as well. I have installed maybe 10 whitestones already for friends and family from S7-Note 9 & Iphones. So far it's saved the displays at least 3x and they always comment how it's way better than the random glass protectors they used to use (one spent over $150 on random protectors before I installed the whitestone).
Of course though, they aren't too confident with the installation so the job falls on to me, but it's honestly not too hard as long as you follow directions, and watching the video installation once or twice is a huge help. You get really used to it and comfortable after the first 1-2 installations.
Just using some random one that my carrier had for sale. After having little luck with Note 8 or s8 protectors I was really impressed with this one. Had to increase the touch sensitivity in the settings but it works great now. I guess the tempered glass manufactures are finally starting to get the hang of making protectors for curved screens.
