no thread for anti-glare screen protectors?

I am about to pick up a sensation.
I had a Vibrant for a year and a half and the phone even with Gorilla glass had some surface scratches.
I am looking for the following
1)I want to not deal with finger/cheek prints
2)Glare I do not care about, but it seems like most screen protectors that are anti oil are also the dithery looking anti glare ones.
Tell me what you use, and how os it on oil?

I just ordered some cheap ones from eBay. I don't know why people buy the clear protectors and deal with finger prints. Anti-glare, anti-fingerprint is the way to go.

I also ordered mine on ebay. I hate Finger Prints!!!

The reason why people buy clear protectors is because the anti glare and the clear both have a pro and con....the clear ones give u the full resolution of the screen but leaves finger prints...anti glare gives u no fingerprints but pixelizes the screen a bit

I've tried anti-glare ones from a few different sellers and the best I have found were from zydistro unfortunately they only carry mirror ones currently
They only cover the usable part of the screen but are very easy to apply and are very finger print/cheek resistant I have had mine on for over a month. Another positive thing is that the anti-glare doesn't rub off and turn into a regular screen protector like some other cheap ebay store's products have done for me.

I've gotten mine from Bestskinsever.com. The protector on my Sensation still looks great, and it's been on since I got the phone when it first came out last summer.
I first used it on my original mytouch 3g, and it lasted for about 2 years...

I bought mine for 7€ (6 pieces). These are the best protectors I've ever used. The screen reflections are almost gone. The good point is that you don't see your own fingerprints. And it has the best behavior when you read text as it is almost the same clear view on the screen. Other antiglare screen protectors turned white into grey or made small, rainbow-colored dots.
Don't know if you can get them in the US, cause I bought mine in Germany.

Skinomi are the best screen protectors by far, a bit difficult to put on if you've never done it before, but just go to a local car parts shop and get a 3M squeegee (rubber one that looks like a credit card size) and install it yourself. I did it last night on my sensation going from a zagg protector, this one is much more smoother when moving my finger over it, i love it.

They do not have any anti-glare ones on their site.

So THAT'S what they're called! I've always seen this type of screen protector, but I've never known how they were different. They were always also easier to use, as my finger would slide better, as opposed to the shiny screen protector I have now. Thanks so much! I just ordered some off eBay, hopefully they work well!

The screen protectors came in today.
Packaging: The 5 screen protectors came in an envelope with a stamp saying "pictures do not bend". Overall the packaging is not awesome but adequate. Each screen protector came in a plastic wrap and included with a cheap dry towelette thing to wipe the screen.
Installation: Overall the application went fine but I got 2 small air bubbles around the edges of the screen that I cannot get rid off due to the curved glass. I tried to warm up the screen protector with a hair dryer but it didn't help. I don't really mind because the bubbles do not affect the view-able part of the screen.
Quality: this is one of the better screen protectors(anti-glare) ones that I have tried. There is some dithering look but not too much, it seems to do well with fingerprints and glare, much better then without it.
Overall I would highly recommend these, but because they're coming from HK shipping times are long.

Lexerd anti glare
http://www.amazon.com/Lexerd-Sensation-TrueVue-Anti-glare-Protector/dp/B004YKYB84
After messing around with a couple of subpar screen protectors, I got these off of amazon. The price may be a turn off for many, but to me they were worth it. Fits the curve glass just fine. Application was super easy, even comes with finger gloves to protect from finger prints. I would say the fit is 99% perfect.

Thanks for the pics Calcvictim the protector looks really good, especially for the price.
It also doesn't seem too foggy, like many anti-glare protectors.
Hiepxhop, could I also trouble you for some pics of the Lexerd protector? Many good reviews on Amazon, and I've heard good things about that brand before...
thanks!

I also use the Lexerd screen protector, and it has worked out pretty well. Part of the top lifted up and lint got into it, but that shouldn't be an issue if you use a case. (I didn't at first)
Yes, there is the pixelated rainbow effect in the whites, but I find the feel of it completely worth it. If I could find a link for that German one I wouldn't mind trying it out.

Remove CWM Recovery

I would like to exchange my current HTC One M8 for another M8 through Verizon (because I have been noticing that the glass is not entirely flush), however I am weary of doing so with CWM Recovery still on the device. I understand how to remove permanent root (SuperSU settings allow for this), though since this is my first HTC device, I am not entirely sure how to proceed from here (get the stock recovery back). Can I just flash the recovery.img from this thread through ADB, or will this brick my device? Thanks in advance for your help.

Quick question, what glass are you talking about that is not flush?

he is probably talking about the entire screen. the time i read that. i remember feeling mine.
the part where the screen touches the metal towards the speakers, mine is lower on the right side than the left (gun metal grey m8)
its not a big deal for me, but im pretty sure this is what he is talking about

Yep, @JWhetstone02 is correct. The glass sections directly above the top and bottom front facing speakers of my device are raised in comparison to the glass covering my LCD. It wasn't enough to originally notice when I first opened and began using the device, but now that my screen protector has finally finished adhering, it is definitely noticeable (the raised portions are lifting the screen protector off of the glass). It wouldn't have been that big of a deal if both sections were equally raised, however they are not; the top right portion is higher then the top left portion, and the bottom left portion is flush while the bottom right portion is raised.
Despite all this, I still stand by the fact that the HTC One M8 is THE BEST constructed device I have ever had the pleasure of using.
EDIT: I actually considered sending in the device under the HTC Advantage Free Glass Replacement clause, however I don't want to take the risk that when I receive my device is may be no better off then when I sent it in. At least at the store I can confirm that the glass portions are all flush.

Mine is the same way too. Even the one on display was like that I'm just saying returning it I don't know if the new one will be any better, let us know

Ahhhh crap. Well, I plan on going in today around 5:30 pm PST, so I will keep you all posted. Do you guys have screen protectors that don't show this separation as much? I currently have a Skinomi Techskin on mine (pictures below), and while the separation does not cause any display issues, my OCD is really kicking in...

FYI, that shows up on every single one I've seen, if you use the screen protector that goes over the speaker grills.
use a regular screen only, you'll never notice.

I tried to circumvent the launch devices by ordering mine after the a couple days after the official launch, because of all the issues I heard the original HTC One had, but apparently I either didn't wait long enough, or the even more unfortunate scenario that the majority of M8's are like this.

Worse comes to worse, I would rather have the separation and my entire screen covered... With such a nice looking device, I would hate myself if I scratched some portion of it. When I purchased the device, there were no screen protectors or cases at any of the Verizon stores near me, so I left my device unopened until the Skinomi Techskin and cheap TPU case I ordered arrived from Amazon. Further, after dropping and cracking my previous Galaxy S3, I am not taking any chances with this phone.

Ignore...

damn now mine has this. ugh my ocd got me now. never noticed...thanks lol

With the latest Gorilla glass i don't think screen protectors are even needed. Up until my last phone, samsung note 2, I always used a screen protector. Didn't use one on my note and never got a scratch on it. Granted i'm somewhat anal about my phone but never had an issue. Now on my
m8 i don't have one. I don't think its needed.....If it keeps lifting due to screen then ditch it.

Fix for uneven glass.
Otterbox Defender.
http://www.otterbox.com/Defender-Se...default,pd.html?start=1&cgid=htc-one-m8-cases
The good:
The clear plastic sheet covers the entire glass eliminating the problems OP mentioned.
It protects the phone probably better than any other case.
The kickstand feature allows me to use it as my bedside alarm clock.
The bad:
It's costly.
It makes a very big phone MUCH bigger!
It's slow to get on and off.
The ugly:
Otterbox Defender is an UGLY case IMHO.
I wouldn't be without it! It took a day or two to get used to it but I really like it now.

Thank you, but I can not use an Otterbox case... It defeats the purpose of buying a nice looking phone if I immediately cover it up.

But you'll need a case of some kind for protection, won't you?
I don't know of any case that's as nice looking as the phone, I'd like to not use a case myself but my previous phone had a small problem (I could salvage the SIM and the SD card, the screen, digitizer, motherboard, etc. were completely destroyed so.... I know the case is ugly but I'm sticking with it!
As always, YMMV.

idk if this gives you any hope, but mine is flush on both ends... and if you're still looking for the stock recovery img, try reaching out to a dev. Try @andybones

[REVIEW] Moshi iVisor Glass

Right, first of all, I had been waiting for a UK supplier of this product for aaaaages!
Finally MobileFun started stocking it.
As everyone knows, tempered glass protectors are for the most part, a problem for the Note 4 due to the curved edges.
I had been using one that just cover the viewing area, which looked hideous IMO.
So when I first saw iVisor and it's total, no halo coverage, I knew I needed to try it out, despite the high price of £30! (yeah, I thought I was crazy too)
In terms of packaging, there's not much to report, it's... A box [emoji23]
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the box you get a cloth and suction cup to help with the installation, but I've installed so many glass protectors I didn't find it necessary to use the cup.
As you can see, this thing covers the "whole" front of the screen.
Installation of the iVisor was, in my opinion, the easiest of all the protectors I've installed.
Having the coloured edge, allows you to line everything up far easier, than a totally transparent one.
After installation and now it's been on a couple of days, I can give informed verdict on this protector.... And that verdict is, it's nothing short of amazing!
Despite the high price, in my opinion it is well worth the money, not only is it one of the thinest glass protectors I've ever come across, the clarity is phenomenal! Not to mention, the feel of thing is just like the naked glass.
I thought the ones I used in the past were good, obviously better than the PTE type, but this is a next level up.
Not forgetting THE reason I got this in the first place, which is a halo free viewing experience, which this delivers impeccably.
Yes, it is expensive, but if you're after a tempered glass protector, this has got to be the best one for the Note 4. Definitely a 10/10 from me, and if you can stomach the cost, the only one to get.

Nice thanks for sharing, is it because it has a dark border that the halo effect cannot be seen?

I'm using it as well and agree it is hands down the best one for this phone.

I disagree. Don't like the holes on the glass. Much prefer the Arcadia glass.

It's all peaches & cream until the thin adhesive sides pop loose and tons of junk end up under the screen. Also a lot of cases will cause this protector to bow up in the middle and the screen will become unresponsive as there is no adhesive under the actual display area. Been there, done that.
Anyhow, nice review and good luck with the Moshi.

I think it depends on the case, I'm using using Spigen Neo hybrid and I think it's a case of it being a mixture of luck and the way it's made, that I've managed to get it that spot on, that the case doesn't touch it, or at the very least is flush.

I think that does play a part, but I don't think it's totally because of that, because I've had others that halo way before the edge of the actual display, let alone the edge of the phone.

They're not holes, as in "holes", they're sections that don't have the coloured border to let the button LEDs shine through.
Trouble is getting hold of others, I tried getting all sorts but found it surprisingly difficult getting anyone to ship to the UK, including the suppliers themselves.

Can i clean the moshi glass?

Looks like it will be the same price as the BodyGuardz Crown (coming the end of April for Note 4). Both look like they offer great protection. Because of the aluminum bezel, the Crown will have zero lift around the edges. Is there any lift at all with the iVisor? I think that would be a deal breaker if it does.

You mean the adhesive side? Probably, but I wouldn't recommend it, why would you want to remove it unless it cracked of course, but then you'd replace it?

I have a similar one arriving today. It's a Cailifu and is sold on Amazon. I will let you guys know how it looks and holds up. Here's the link to check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXP38BA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have been using the Cailifu glass protector for about a day now. Overall, i think it's a winner. The only negative thing I could find is, it's a smudge and fingerprint magnet. Not sure it it's the material used or some kind of coating, but I have to clean the screen far more frequently than normal. The screen coverage is perfect with no gaps or lifting around the edges. For the price (75% less than the iVisor), it's a go.
BTW, the "windows" for the capacitive buttons are square. The iVisor has round windows. The square windows give it a more stock look than the round ones. Hope this comparison helps.

Having used this for a few weeks now, would you still recommend the Moshi? I've read some comments online about their iPhone protectors having an 'oil slick' effect in the centre of the screen and a 'dot pattern' that permanently marked the screen - have you noticed anything like this? I didn't see any such problems evident in your photo.
Also be very interested to know how S-Pen usage is with this. Does the S-Pen still operate the back button OK?

No problems whatsoever, very happy with it and well worth the money IMHO.

[u12+] Screen and back protectors/films

To gather options here for U12+ glass/plastic screen and back protectors.
Currently I have this one ordered for back film:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fro...r-For-HTC-U12-Plus-U12-Cover/32881487671.html
And this for the front:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-U12-Pl...-Schutzglas-Tempered-Schutzfolie/263708198830
It will be much relief to have these applied. Need to handle the phone with care till at least the front glass arrives...

I'm trying these out because they're the only non-glass, dry install protectors I could find.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C8HP8FM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So the front tgsp is here. I can't recommend it because it's not well sized on top and bottom. No Halo, because this u12 panel is less curved than u11 was, it's flat.
It's all transparent and fully glued. Application was easy cause it didn't fit an exact match on top.
Usual glass feeling to it.
I'll keep it because it's without Halo

How about Skinomi?
It's an off brand, but was the only one I found when I had a HTC 10. It was pretty great quality all body protection. Bestskinsever is normally my go to, but since they sometimes done have any skins Skinomi has been my second

All glass screen protector should work since the screen is flat. I ordered from Mr. Shield since I used for my Android Pad.

I ordered different brand. Mr. Shield, the side is little smaller and for some reason the bottom don't stick. Not deal breaker, but nice to others.

This looks great! But it's pretty expensive with shippingcosts to the Netherlands.

Yes shipping a package internationally with tracking is quite expensive. It actually costs us even more than what we charge our customers because we choose to insure our international shipments. That being said, we do offer free international shipping on orders $69.95 and up. I know that is a lot, but if you put together an order with a few friends or family members, that would save you quite a bit on the shipping costs.
We used to send shipments as letters as some of our competitors do which is much cheaper, but that isn't really possible when including application gel and the percentage of lost shipments was MUCH higher in that scenario. We feel that it is more important that customers can track their orders and that a much closer to 100% of our orders are actually delivered.

Thanks for your reply. Okay, I've just placed an order for 3 HTC u12+ skins, because Dbrand doesn't make them haha. And because I got 10% off and get free shipping.
Hope to have them soon!

I wasn't able to send a PM for some reason but I would love to try the ultra clean full body since I'm using a fitbag for my only protection now. I can't find any cases I'm interested in yet. I will make sure to give a full review. Thank you for the offer.

When I had my U11 protected with full body protector it would no longer fit properly in my U11 leather fitbag, since the fitbag is made perfectly for a naked phone but the U12+ is a tad smaller than the U11. The U12+ fits nicely in my U11 fitbag but it doesn't fit as snug as a bare naked U11. A bare naked U11 fit perfectly in the fitbag and whenever you slide it out, it would clean both front and back of the phone making it look great.
My point is, I would bet the @PhantomSkinz Guru for the U12+ would combine very nice with the U11 leather fitbag. I bet it would snug it up just perfect like it does for my U11.

Shame I don't quite meet the criteria in the UK with only <400 posts.

I've tried this:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BXFR12Z/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and this:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D2BYYJN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Both are garbage because neither completely covers the screen (each side is slightly thinner than the width of the screen) and BOTH will not stick down on 2 or 3 of the edges.

coming tomorrow. I'm leery of Orzero due to the negative reviews of their product for another flat-screened, bezeless phone, the Essential PH-1 but I bought it because it specifically states that the entire protector has adhesive, not just the black edges. If neither of these work, I'm going Skinomi.

PhantomSkinz Guru said:
Yes the Ultra Clear skinz are about 8 mils (0.2mm) thick. So you can double that thickness to account for each side being covered. It will definitely make the fit a little more snug. However sliding it in and out of a tight fitting pouch many times a day may cause the skin to peel up? Suppose it depends how tight the fit bag is.
We'll PM you for your shipping details for the review kit

Yes thank you very much I'm really looking forward to applying these. I bet they will work great with my FitBag and if they do peel up it will probably get enough use before doing so and still be worth it to order new. We will see and I will post pics and thoughts. Thanks again!

No problem We are going to send you a "glass only" back skin as well so you can choose which you like better. The glass only will certainly be easier to install and may be less prone to peeling in your situation.

Awesome thank you.
My HTC U11 Fitbag only fit properly bare naked. Once I put a screen protector and back protector on it, it was too tight. The U12+ fits nicely in my U11 Fitbag but it's not tight enough, I think applying these will make the U11 Fitbag fit the U12+ as if it was made for it.
If it doesn't work out I will stop using the FitBag. I just want a bare looking phone with these great protector's. I would hate to get a single scratch on this beauty :laugh:

So here's the sad state of affairs for tempered glass screen protectors for the U12 Plus. Do you want to protect just the screen, or the entire phone?
Because you can't do both.
You can use a glass screen protector, but you'll have to either deal with the screen protector not actually covering your screen, or you can get a 'case friendly' full coverage screen protector that is, infact, not case friendly.
Or you can use a case and a plastic screen protector, as I am going to do. The fact of the matter is until a name brand company decides to make a glass screen protector that actually fits and adheres to the U12 Plus, none of these cheap chinese glass screen protectors are worth a dime of your money. It cost me $40+ to figure that out.
The Orzero screen protector completely covered the flat glass surface of the front of the phone, however you can't get rid of the airgaps where the black part gives way to the clear glass. Then, when you put the case on, it immediately lifts the screen protector.
The Katain had more rounded corners so I was hopeful, but again, immediate lift and I have a bubble at the edge of the clear and black that will not go away.

UV activated adhesive glass

Reading other threads there seem to be ongoing issues with tempered glass protectors for the Pixel 4 XL. The slight curve of the glass at the sides seems to be the problem. With other curved phones I've had success with glass that I've adhered using some UV activated adhesive. Does anyone know if there are any such products out there or if anyone is planning to sell these? I've looked, but I can't find any.
I'm currently living with a protector that doesn't quite cover the screen. Not ideal!

No one is doing one yet. Demand doesn't seem to be there since the curve is less extreme as previous Pixels and the cheap protectors are good enough.

Yes, it would seem that no-one is producing one yet. A big shame considering that all of the current protectors have issues.

Honestly, it's the angle and the strong sunlight that showing the dust. It's not really noticable in real life. Also, it might have a "chewed top" but it's stays on just fine.

paid 10 for 2 but yes agree there's cheaper alternatives. I just received them but I'm not liking the side bars. it blocks some of the screen. I might have to wait for the final product or get the omoton brand.

I know.. didn't mean that one. the one from the other thread.

I've been using this one and have had no issues. Cutout for speaker and selfie camera. It comes with a case and 2 screen protectors. No dot matrix or rainbow effect. Soli works fine and it doesn't interfere with gestures. Does require you to spread a liquid around the edges with a brush. No peeling up and no dust.

I tried a few. Right now the Zagg tempered glass has been the best, but its not cheap. The cheap OMOTON for $10 from Amazon was ok, but I had issues with sensitivity on some of the edges with that one that didn't happen with the Zagg.
edit: I have been following the Intelliglass thread as I was interested in their product originally, but I would steer clear away until they get their act together. While the XDA forum guy seems to be trying hard, the company can't seem to ship a product worth buying right now. Dot matrix shipped by accident, and now replacements don't have adhesive in all the right places, etc. Folks over there are not happy.
I'm using my Zagg until Whitestone does something, but really, the Zagg is probably good enough.

Interesting to see a manufacturer finally put that into practice. Since the edges lift and they're essentially having you fill the gap in between the screen protector and the glass with a liquid. Some people do that already with WD40 or olive oil.

Thanks for all the replies (been busy so not had a chance to respond). The EJBOTH Screen Protector looks interesting and looks like it extends beyond the visible screen, which is important for me. I've bought one of those (coming to UK, so won't be here until Jan 9th). I'll let you know how I get on.
