Best screen protector?

Hi, I have had my One X for 3 days and today I noticed a tiny scratch on the screen. What is the best screen protector readily available in Canada? I have been looking at the skinomi one but liquid armor looks great too. I will not be getting a case so edge to edge coverage is important to me.

I would go with the Skinomi, much less of an orange peel look to it than Zagg.

If you up for some reading, there's plenty of good reviews/posts here:

If you do decide to get the Skinomi don't forget to use the discount code "Get25" to get 25% off your order. Plus free shipping to US and Canada.

Thank you to those that replied. I just ordered the skinomi.

Hmm i thought the screen was super tough, i tested it myself and stabbed it with a sharp knife in the video link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpR306UYNBc
Sand might do more damage though. Check out the video

Slim Armor case by Spigen

Just ordered one of these cases in dodger blue. Anyone else thinking about one of these. They look nice.

I also got the free screen protector I believe that special expired yesterday 4/22. Not sure how slim it is but It looks like it could take a beating that's for sure.

Whilst Spigen are not now promoting a free screen protector, if you look at the included items with the case, it now states "Front Cover Screen Protector 1PC", so I guess the free screen protector is still included! You have to love marketing departments.....

Before you would have 2 screen protectors in the end. The included one and the extra one (I hope).
You could order screen protectors even and choose a free screen protector too.

Up to the 22nd April, the website did not specify that a screen protector was included other than the promotional tick box. The site has now changed with a screen protector listed as included.

I ordered the Neo Hybrid yesterday and it definitely said "Front Cover Screen Protector - 1 PC" as it does now.
I also see they now have 50% off a screen protector when you buy a case.
In addition it seems the price on the Neo Hybrid was raised by $1.

That 50% discount has only recently been added!
Also, a cached copy from Google is attached showing no screen protector listed other than the free one. Hope you do receive the two

It's the same on the Neo Hybrid. I ordered before the 22nd, so I better get two screen protectors or I'm going to be pissed.

Just make sure its not fake. A lot of them on ebay are fake.

I hope not.
One reassuring piece of info that may be relative is that they wont ship until may 1st. Possibly waiting for inventory?
I will have the phone before the case comes

Cant wait for mine to come. Looks great buy I must say the otterbox commuter looks pretty good too. I also got the glas.tr so it will be my first glass screen protector.

Otter box did an awesome job on the GS4 cases thats for sure. Design wise atleast

Same problem here. Get the s4 sat and slim armor may 10. Talked to my Sprint retail store guy and he said to come see him friday before all hell breaks lose on sat and he'll make sure I get an sview case. Retail expects to sell out of the first shipment quickly. Sview cases and phones.

There are some cheap TPUs on eBay that you can order for the meantime. I boughten one for $4 earlier today and it's supposed to arrive on Saturday which is perfect.

just got a response earlier about a question i asked a few days ago... WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS!
this is what they had to say!
"Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Hanna from Spigen.com.
Thank you for your recent order with us!
The slim armor will add on about 2mm on each side for the length and about 1.5mm on each side for the width. The case itself will add about 3-4 ounces of weight to your phone.
These are all approximations since we do not have the actual case available as of yet. "
so 3mm added to the thickness approximately, and 85-113 grams on top of the gs4's 7.9mm thickness and 130 grams.
not bad, for a slim case with the best protection! hope i like it, who knows lol

i think the best looking case yet is the iSkin EXO
beats otterbox thats for sure

i ordered mine to get the extra additional screen protector. spigen also sent me out an LCD cleaning kit for free. on top of that, the fake ones are probably jacked up in price just because those are just coming out too. the phone isnt even released yet.
also if you go to spigens ebay store,
http://stores.ebay.com/SPIGEN-SGP/S...5621014&_sid=1118303154&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
you'd see that the prices arent different.
also note that spigen has a 90-day manufacturer warranty and a 30 day return policy. under these policies, cases purchased on spigens website are the ONLY spigen cases covered.
"Only items purchased from Spigen.com will be eligible for this warranty." quoted from their website http://www.spigen.com/faq/ #6

What is a good brand of screen protector?

I've gone through many screen protectors it's annoying. I had Xtremeguard, which ended up peeling off. I bought it again, in hopes of a different batch, but it kept peeling off! Then I tried Tech armor, which also peeled off! I have a crappy $2 white TPU case from eBay, but I'm thinking of buying the Ionic Guardian. (Please give me your opinion on this case, does it add any bulk? That's my main objective with cases) But the brands I'm considering to buy as a screen protector are SEIDIO, Spiget, iSmooth, Skinomi, Sir Lancelot (as a tampered glass, are these effective at all?) and Armorsuit. Oh, and I'm trying to stay under $30, Thanks for all the help!

ismooth is one of the best, their lifetime warranty and they stand behind it. Ive gotten replacements even if i dont really need them. Have had ismooth since when i had the gs3 that was about 2yrs ago now have it on n4 and coulnt be happier.

Ghost armor work well for me. I beat the hell out of my phone but my screen always stays nice.. There lifetime warranty as well.

The setup I use comes in at around £10 pounds (u.k) I like to do things on the cheap.
It includes a cheap tempted glass screen protector and a good quality case for the price.
You need a case that covers the phones edge to stop your fingers catching the sharp edge of the glass screen protector it also helps to keep it flush and stops dust/dirt getting under the glass.

I ended up buying this one since it's only $8! Does it ever peel back and have you had it for a bit?

I bought http://www.ultimateshield.co.uk i havent installed yet because i'm going home in a few days il report back.

I had a Skinomi until recently. Sadly, it wasn't compatible with the Seidio case I just got, and had to ditch it. I will be trying he Siedio skin that came with my case this weekend and report how it compares.
Will be hard to beat the Skinomi tho, I really liked that one.

I'm using the Spigen SGP Steinheil SP. It fits well and is easy to apply, and has protected my screen for 1 year with no scratches

Sorry its took a while just seen the post.
The screen savour doesn't lift because its a smaller diameter then the screen by a good 3 mm . That's why a case that comes to the edge of the screen is really needed but when on with the case it looks o.k. . If I can find a decent camera I will post a few shots if you haven't already got yours.

I'm using 3m Vikuity protection for a couple of months and NO problems with these kind of screen/back protectors. I was having also cheap versions and finaly the quality Vs money definetly goes to known brands !!

Spigen Ultra Crystal, compatible with any bumpers/case protectors since the design of the edges doesnt interfere with em.

[Q] Best glass screen protector?

Can anybody re-direct me into buying the best glass screen protector for the Note 4? I purchased one on Amazon for £9 which supported 2.5D edges but it still has some horrible Halo effect going round the sides and isn't full sized at all. Would prefer to buy it from Amazon UK or any other UK store, not really wanting to use eBay. Cheers!

I am liking nuglas. It has some halo but it's not terrible. Some people have reported no halo.

Motorola X Play Case Availability

Has anyone else has trouble buying a case? I've found multiple sellers on both Amazon and eBay, but they all have the same problem. The shipping for the case is delayed by about 2 weeks+. Most of the delivery estimates tell me it will deliver to me by September 16- October 4. Kind of bummed about this since I just bought my phone yesterday, and would like to use it with a case.
For reference I live in Canada, but when I try to find a case for almost any other phone you can get it fast. I know the phone hasn't been out very long, but it's already been a few weeks, if I'm not mistaken.

I think it depends on how well the phone had been leaked / shown previous to launch.
I don't think many were expecting a x play so perhaps they didn't show it to case companies.
Annoying.
I have a case and screen protector on order and won't be using until I get them.

I know the feeling! I was actually considering the Cruzerlite bugdroid case until I saw the crazy delivery times.
I ended up going with the Motorola flip cover for now. $40 at Bell, $45 everywhere else

For anyone wondering I got a sleo slimline case which came really quick from Amazon.
Decent slimline case for the few quid I paid for it.
I tend to change my cases regularly so cheap and cheerful is OK for me.

Have you got a pic of the phone with the case on?
Reallly frustratingly i got my amazon order cancelled by i-BlasonEU due to 'stock issues' on the day my case was supposed to be dispatched!!! I went for the Supcase Unicorn Beetle in Black/Black http://www.amazon.co.uk/SUPCASE-Uni...w_p_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EXFJ2YRVVF5WRKZE2AQ . Even more frustrating is the fact that the frost/black version is available for prime AND cheaper!

As requested. Not the best photos but hope they help.

Very nice

When I bought it at the end of August, there was no OtterBox case available. It was important for me to have some kind of protection because I dropped my last phone often. Instead of the OtterBox, I got a slim silicon case and a screen protector, which protect against impact.

Have you tried Telus or Koodo? at my Friends telus they had a case for our phone.

Both Telus and Koodo have cases. The screen protectors are $15 (for the 2 pack no warranty), $35 for the single with warranty. I forgot how much the cases were, but they did have the one where you replace the back cover with the flip one (with the credit card slot on it).
But when I spoke to someone at Koodo, they said that the colored backs were online only. At least that's what the Moto rep told him.

Bell has the flip cover with the card slot for $40 (Telus & Koodo charge $45). They also have a little gel case for $20 but I wouldn't get it (buttons are way too hard to press)

For those wondering what the official flip cover looks like, here's the Teal version. The pattern is the same as the standard back cover, but feels more "grippy."

There are new cases from Incipio available:

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
The cruzerlite cover its perfect for this moto... I bought for the moto G 2013 before.

I just receive my Incipio Octane case and I'm 100% happy. Nice look and good grip. It feel like the Urban Armor case I had for my Samsung Galaxy phone.

Looks good. Where did u get it from? It's very hard to find a good case for moto play. I am using a transparent one gives a good grip and also compliments the back look of the device
