Doesn't somebody on here have one? Does it cover the entire screen or does it fall short? Seems like this might be the best one available right now...

Sure just got yesterday. In fact it covers all of the glass portion of the screen. For reference there is no reduction in touch sensitivity with the protector in place.
While I think the cost is high, Martin Fields protectors have always been high quality. This is no exception.
Awesome news! Thanks for the reply!
Is this a thick, flexible protector like Zagg or PhantomSkinz? Also, have you noticed any change in proximity sensor sensitivity?
For reference, I have a PhantomSkinz currently, and when I'm in a dimly lit room and make/take a call, and pull the phone away from my face, it stays blacked out. I have to turn the light on to get it to wake up. I took the skin off, and it went back to normal.
Can you test this if you have the MF protector?
Also, can you please post pics of the screen protector in place? I, too, am wondering about the precision of the fitment. PhantomSkinz, Seidio, and others seem to have missed the mark and cut the protectors to short in width AND height.
Edit: Also looks like the include a piece for the camera cover on the back...? http://www.martinfields.com/US/prod...oogle_Nexus&modeln=Nexus One&prod_type=screen

I originally had a Skinomi protector and never really thought it bad, however I decided I'd try the Martin Fields one because I've never used a static protector.
Looks
I must say I'm thoroughly impressed by this protector! It fits perfectly; well almost perfectly, looking closely, you can still see the edge but it is almost negligible. If I had to gauge how big the space is... maybe about the thickness of a sheet of folder paper... if even that.
Scratching
The protector itself is what seems to be a hard plastic. I haven't scratched it yet (it claims to be HIGHLY scratch resistant) but it's still worrisome. I've done a fingernail test as of now and it has survived. It makes no indentation like the "self healing" skins so I'm guessing if it does get scratched, it stays scratched.
Application
The really cool thing I like most though is the static cling application. I managed to get dust on it before applying it X_X. Using scotch tape though, I was able to remove it with no problems! After about 30 minutes (I decided to be really OCD about the application) it was air bubble free and dust free. Oh, I also decided to try and running it under water to clean it but I found the tape a MUCH better way to clean it.
Removal
Also, be careful when removing the protector. It says to use tape and pull it off at corner. I tried using my fingernail on the camera protector and it kind of warped lol. No real problem though, just looks like an air bubble under it however it isn't over the lens so no problems taking pictures.
Clarity
As far as the proximity sensor goes, I thought it wasn't configured properly but after switching protectors, it works perfectly (so Skinomi = no good, Martin Fields = awesome). Same goes with the camera; it takes crystal clear photos.
Daily Use/Misc
The feel of this protector is very nice; I think due to the hard plastic material. It really does feel like nothing is there. Looks wise, it's glossy, reflects a clear image of me when looking at it, and is PERFECTLY transparent. If matte anti-glare is your thing, this isn't your screen protector. Good comparison is Macbook Pro anti-glare/glass; matte vs colors really popping off the screen.
Another issue I have with screen protectors is how well I can flick/scroll, this protector has my stamp of approval. As I said earlier, it feels very similar to glass and as such, scrolling is a breeze.
Smudging is also handled pretty nicely, much better than the "self healing" stuff. I find myself wiping the screen down with my shirt maybe once a day, if even that.
In Conclusion
So, sorry for the long post, but I tried to cover as many bases as possible. My last sentiments for this protector:
10/10
+
Easy application
Washable
Fits very well over screen, minimal non-coverage
Can remove dust from "sticky" side
Crystal Clear/Perfect proximity sensor
Feels Like there is nothing there
Highly scratch resistant? (personally, only did fingernail test so "?")
Somewhat smudge resistant
==
Camera protector
No anti-glare (your personal preference, move to + or -)
Pricy? (16.99 USD + 9.99 shipping)
-
Can be bent and will not fit properly afterwards
P.S. - Shipping was 10 dollars, Fed Ex overnight I think. It came within 2 days for sure though.
P.P.S. - I will post pictures when I find a better camera. I don't have one that zooms in close enough to see the edges and the glare kind of ruins the picture :\
Ugh, I want to put down for this sheild but the only thing holding me back is it's not whole body protection!
Thank you for your review! I doubt anyone will have a problem with as details are what matters
Also can you include some random pictures from the Nexus with the Martin Fields Protecter on the camera? I saw the one on their page but i'm always skeptical
It sucks ! had one and started pelling after a week, I keep my phone in my pocket.....now I have invisible shield and THAT one holds.

Thanks so much for your thorough review. Two things though... first, can you please take a pic of the screen for us, especially showing how the fitment is? I believe you when you say it's just barely short, but am just curious. Second, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed a change in the proximity sensor with these thicker skins.
I'll almost certainly be ordering this product it looks like. One more thing... does it have a guarantee or anything?
Edit: Found this review with installation tips... seems to be just like a Seidio screen protector.
http://the-gadgeteer.com/2004/01/05/martin_fields_overlay_plus_pda_screen_protector_review_/
I've attached a few pictures of the phone and a few taken from the Nexus One
Screen protector
I tried to get as close as possible to the screen to show the edges (Don't mind the Skinomi skin lol).
The one of the camera protector seems clear, but there is one section that is discolored to the rest, that'll be the place I bent lol (bottom half when looking at the picture I took).
Pictures taken from the Phone
There are 2 pictures taken with the phone; one normal and one using the zoom feature.
The picture of the plants are closer, in mid/low light.
The picture of the mountain is further away and in bright light. It's not exactly clear because it's rainy/misty today, sorry for that one.
The last pair is of a magazine in little-no light using the flash as the only source of light.
Warranty
Regarding the warranty, I didn't see mention of anything so I can't really say. If I find anything, I'll be sure to post it.
Thickness
To me, it seems slimmer than the Skinomi Skin because I can feel it almost flush to the metal but it might be my imagination.
I can only upload 8 at a time, so I'll post the others in another post.
These are the remaining photos I took from the phone.
Wow... the fitment looks perfect man. Thanks very much for the pics. Still waiting to hear from Seidio, but this is the front runner. I'll order a new one this week. By the way, I'm jealous that you live near mountains.
Haha, yeah, living in Hawaii has its perks. Wish I could have taken more pictures but I just figured I'd get something posted asap.
If anyone would like to see any specific pictures/angles, I'd be happy to oblige. Like I said though, the camera I have isn't exactly great so quality is kind of lacking.
I'll post again later though seeing how someone had an issue with the protector peeling. I also put my phone into my pocket, so we'll see if it collects lint, peels, etc. So far, my Skinomi seems to be acting like a lint magnet so that may skew results lol.
One last thing of note, I've been hearing word that Martin Fields uses a mild adhesive. With this protector, I guess it's possible that a really mild adhesive is used but I know for sure it's static; depending on which side I'd place a strip of tape close to it, it would actually pull or push the tape in a certain direction. It didn't really feel sticky but I could definitely tell which side needed to be placed on screen; it wasn't smooth on one side.
I have an Martin Fields protector installed on my N1 as well. I'm pleased with it.
I agree with the review here, but I'd like to add that these things do get scratched quite easily. I have one on my G1 and it looks like sh*t after 6 months. It's scuffed and scratched like crazy. Since the MF protectors are not cheap, it's annoying to replace them, but they do their job quite well. Note that I keep my phone in my pocket, often rubbing against keys and coins.
I've had a MF protector on my digital camera for six months and it still looks new (and invisible.)
I always buy two-packs but I wish I could get 10-packs.
Hopefully they'll be available from vendors in the US soon, at lower prices and with cheaper shipping.

This sounds to be the exact same as dcmugen's screen protectors. It confirms the findings of tehkseven's reviews.
I really dont understand why anyone would pay five to ten times as much as one would need to... you all need to try out dcmugen's products because I really haven't found a seller with better quality to price ratio. Search 'epikcase' on eBay.

His ebay seller ID is dcmugen88
Thanks, will order some dcmugen88 product. The material sounds the same. His 5 pack is cheap! If it works ok I'll have a new protector every month instead of every year, lol.
I too just ordered (2) of the Anti-Glare ones from dcmugen for $4.49 shipped.
I will report back once I receive it and will give a review.
Just a follow up review, now that I've had the protector on for a little while.
I usually keep my phone in my shirt pocket but I decided to mix it up and
Throw it into my pants pocket (with keys) for the purpose of this review.
Looks
Still very impressed by the looks of the protector. Nothing has changed that
I can tell; no peeling effect, no lint collection (again, could be due to skin
protector lint collection lol).
Scratching
Haha, as mentioned by another reader, this protector does indeed scratch.
Now, here's the funny thing: It didn't scratch due to my keys, but rather my
cleaning cloth.
Some cleaning cloths burn the edges and while I'm usually
careful with those, I figured if this thing has been taking my keys, it should
be able to hold out; not the case.
It's a very deep scratch, so much so that I can feel it under my finger.
The cool thing is though, I cannot see the scratch under normal circumstances.
I can't feel it under normal use either.
Seriously though, I can't even see the scratch under daily use.
Only by flashing direct light can I see the scratch, and by moving my finger
slowly over it can I feel it.
Note: scratch is maybe 1/8th of an inch long.
Clarity
Screen still displays beautifully and pictures are still awesome.
Cleanliness
Still remains pretty clean throughout a few days, only wiping it down every
two or three days. Pretty darn good I guess.
Conclusion
While I'm sort of sick that it got scratched, it's so unnoticable that I haven't
felt the need to replace it. Don't know how long it will last, but if ever
I decide to replace it, I'll post again and give the reasons why.
I'm still quite pleased with this protector and I don't think I'll ever use
anything besides these static cling protectors (be it Martin Fields or another).
hey Xavina. Are you near kea'ahala pl? looks like the pictures are taken from my old house almost haha.
Nevermind. But the bkgrnd is close.

these are garbage!!!
I know there was someone who had a non-halo install on their Note 4 but I just tried this morning and I got a halo with the tempered glass. Good thing their refund policy is good.
Do not buy
Now I know why they're selling these for so cheap. Not just because the tempered glass doesn't fit properly and has the halo effect, but the plastics, dry and wet install, aren't even cut correctly.
For the dry install: There is no way to center the button hole and have the rest of the protector centered.
For the wet install FRONT: They did a little better with centering the button hole but it looks like someone cut it by hand.
For the wet install BACK: I don't know what was happening when they made the back but I have the Verizon and apparently I got a different version because the camera/flash/sensor hole is not right. They dimpled out the area around the head phone which you cant line up if you want to have the speaker not covered. And I don't even know why they put notch in for the pry area, if that is what that notch is for, because its way off. And it also looks like they cut it by hand.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE.
This is an example of the back: http://goo.gl/8g890M
Its not the company.
Yes their shipping methods can use some better insulation techniques cost prohibited.
Their products are good used on other devices with success . Its not jus xtreme glass thats an issuem its the note 4 screen thats causing the issues.
For the time being untill a company makes a curved glass.
The hallo will remain unless you have verizon
Basically

The S5, iPhone and Note 3 Spartan Glass are great.

Did you break it by trying to remove it?
My spartan glass has a very slight halo on the edges.
I do concur that the wet install has mis-cut edges.
Add me to the list of people that received a cracked glass screen protector. Their packaging is crap. I've ordered glass screen protectors from eBay and not one was cracked. Those came in decent packaging.
And they only gave me 1 out of 3 dry protectors.
I got the Xtremeguard tempered glass for the Note 4 but the edges do not stick down and it raises slightly. You'll see it. I can't imagine this thing a week later with all the dust and stuff built up from going in and out of pockets. RIP
I have skimmed through the pages in the other tempered glass screen protector threads. I have yet to find a manufacturer who makes an edge to edge protector that adheres to the entire screen rather than just the top and bottom.
My issue is that with a water proof device, anytime it is exposed to water (every day for me as I place it on the shelf in the shower to listen to music), water becomes trapped underneath the tempered glass.
Anyone picked up a model that would remedy this?
no one currently makes one
Why did you feel the need to open a whole new thread for something that has been discussed at length in many other threads? no, there is no solution yet.
Doesn't the official Samsung one do this ?
The official Samsung one is plastic, not glass.
The official Samsung one is not tempered glass.
I strongly advice against getting curved tempered glass. Or any screen protector with curve protection.
I got my replacement Note 7 and I decided to just use a flat film protector and leave the sides exposed. So much easier to use this way.
which flat one did you get!

It feels like **** though. I had an IQ Liquid Shield on my old Note 7, and it felt nice in the hand. Barely a bump in feeling, some around the edges but not really noticeable. This current new Note 7 has factory screen protectors, both front and back. But they feel sharp and edgy, they don't cover the curves. I have actual sleeping nightmares about applying a brand new IQ Liquid Shield protector I already have, and it peeling horribly at corners. fEa.r me..?
Yeah. So I got my replacement n7 today. Picked up a Qmadix "first defense" screen protector. Guess what? It's edge to edge and the adhesive goes all the way around the screen. Just got out of the shower (phone got soaked), no water under the glass.
There is no reason to be rude.. Obviously, the other threads "discussed at length" on the subject failed to stumble upon this gem.
Thanks everyone. I'm only 5 hours in but I have no complaints. No halo, sits flush. Thicker than the Verizon branded one I had previously. Has kind of a unique cut out for the Samsung logo. I also purchased a camera, hearbeat sensor, and home button glass.. I'm set lol.
Edit: forgot to mention the Qmadix also comes in all three colors. I purchased black respectively.

Other threads didn't find this so called gem of yours, then mention it there, that's the whole point of the original tempered glass thread. To discuss solutions.

i tried dozens of them looks just like that, most of them only have adhesive on the sides or the top+bottom. all returned.
i suspect this one will be the same, but its not available to purchase on Amazon yet. Guest i will try this too.
i will report see how it goes. but i have no hope at all.
case friendly and curved too on the design like that..?? dont know thats legit or not.
This will work 100%, even my case won't peel the screen cover.

you must get this specific version for the full cover. there's a lot of different variations. also let the film completely dry before you even attempt to wrap down the sides. you can use your palms, squeegee, and blow dryer. Remember the water spray is only for help with placement. When this film dries, its very stick and adhesive.
i just hate TPU material, its spongy, soft, leaves imprints and a weird texture. but it does full cover. tempered glass and PET film will never do that.

I have the same protector updated version on my note 7. Did the shrink wrap trick too when i applied it. Came out nice after 12hrs. Once I put my UAG case it started to lift edges. I had to use a credit card to slide case phone in without lifting edges. So I thought I was all good right. Nope a day later it started to lift on the top side and bottom side. I have to smooth it back to down continuously. So either you got lucky or you case does not life the edges.

maybe it was the way you put it on? as in one side you will comfortable be able to tuck it under but the other side kinda snapped on and slid/lifted the cover in order for the case to snap on?

Just installed this. I think i know why most companies only use glue on the top or bottom. The quality of the product is good. The packaging is great but i would rather get something a little more simple and maybe save on the cost.
I have yet to turn on my replacement N7 so i cant speak on clarity but the fit is decent. It even works with my Seidio Dilex case on even though its "full screen"
Here is my one problem so far (its only been an hour since install) there is a slight clicking sound when you press on some areas. The edges etc. This is the reason why i think most companies dont use glue on the sides. I think this is where the clicking sound is coming from. I think i installed it as best as i could but who knows. Maybe its my fault.
Im going to try to use it for a while to see how well it works and if i can stand the clicking sound. This is my 1st glass screen protector for the N7 and i dont think ill try more in the future. I just wanted to try one out.
I know what your thinking...ANOTHER THREAD DISCUSSING THIS!!??!!
Let me just say I didn't do this on purpose. I stumbled onto this combination by accident. And I'm just gonna say that it's almost like the old Reeses cup commercials. You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!!
Ok, I got these screen protectors this morning from China. They were the standard glass screen protectors. I received a Clear and a Black. I immediately installed the Clear. It looked good. I had an appointment to get to so...I put the Otterbox Defender case back on my phone with the glass screen protector to at least protect the phone while I was out. It was a tight fit!!
This combination was horrible. I had to press extra hard and i was fairly annoyed. FFW a couple hours. I get home, the phone has been in my pocket and I notice the plastic shield on the Defender, along the adges looked a little dirty, I had to take the glass off too, so I take the case apart and the plastic shield was coming off of the frame that it attaches to. UGH!!! I started to take a few pictures of the problem to send to Otterbox. I had also removed the clear glass screen protector. I started thinking.....BINGO!!
I removed the clear protector on the Otterbox (someone else in the threads mentioned they did this...thanks for the idea). I installed the black edged Glass screen protector and reassembled everything. I must say....this is is the best I've seen. It's an expensive combination....and an unintended surprise.
The company for these Glass Screen protectors is as follows:
Dongguan Strawberry Electronic CO, Ltd
Sara (she is really cool to deal with) WeChat contact ID ps216816
These guys can also be found via Alibaba.com
I don't have a cost...I paid for shipping and they provided me the samples. I didn't receive these protectors in a product box. Just 2 protectors in identical sleeves (pictured below)
Here's the installed Black Glass and Modified Otterbox defender case:
I'm not sure how long this will last...the Glass had glue all the way around the edges. The home button has glue all the way around it. The headset speaker has glue all the way around it. The cutouts for the cameras have no glue.
I'm not promoting anyone or anything. I'm only saying this is working for me at this exact moment in time.
I always remove the plastic screen protectors from OtterBox defenders... They do nothing but gather dust/dirt and create rub marks around the plastic edges over time.

A friend of mine came up with a clever solution to the micro scratches on the rear camera glass. Seems like this scratches come out of nowhere scince I always use my phone with a pretty sturdy case. I suspected image quality was getting worse over time and that those scratches where the cause. And so it was!
The product my friend found to be usefull its just a regular product for polishing stainless steel. Apply this to the glass with any piece of cloth you can find and after polishing it for at least 15 minutes you will notice that the scratches start to go away. Photos are much more clear now !
I made a full guide with pictures but i cant post external links because its a new account, sorry

toothpaste worked for me actually. See my post here with my experience. In the end I purchased a camera glass cover replacement on ebay.
Here is a how to video.
Nu Finish, Scratch Remover, or any liquid car wax or glass wax will do the same. Stainless steel cleaner will also. Don't use Brasso as it's too abrasive for glass.
