Anyone purchasing screen protector for their DVP?
I tried to search on eBay and found only 2 sellers have it,
any recommendation site that sell DVP's screen protector?
Dvp have a curved screen. Most screen protector are like paper that does not bend and stick to curved surfaces. Nine agree? It's going to be hard finding an SP for Dvp..

I don't think this is a problem, I had put a G2 screen protector on my VP and it wasn't bad. Obviously it didn't cover the entire glass but it covered the screen pretty nicely and it stayed put! (no raised edges or anything)
G2 have a curved screen just like the dvp? I didn't know that.

It will be interesting to know that as well.
Well, although DVP comes with gorilla class (anti-scratch), but its has been my habit to apply a SC for every phone i use
Might just keep searching...try my luck.

A screen protector comes with the otterbox case
I'm personally not worried about scratches on the Gorilla Glass, but I can say from experience with the SGP Steinheil screen protector for my Xperia X1 that it offers two huge benefits:
(a) oleophobic coating to limit fingerprints
(b) anti-reflective coating for additional outdoor visibility
Steinheil makes protectors for the Motorola Droid X (which has a 4.3" screen and is physically longer and wider than the Venue Pro http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...roid-x-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
I'm thinking of ordering one of the Anti-Fingerprint ones and trimming it to fit.
Nope... Its flat

I ordered this one off Amazon...well I cant post the link because I dont have enough posts but, search on Amazon, theres a few on there.
I really want a full body case but the only one thats available seems really bulky.
Hi,
I just receivedan skin from a company based out here in California. They're called Skinomi. They have 5 different styles of full body skins (clear, silver, black, light wood and dark wood). The skins are akin to those made by Zagg, Invisible Shield, etc. Skinomi backs each skin with free lifetime (!) replacements. For $20, I don't think it can be beat. Moreover, with an online coupon (get25) you can take an additional 25% off!
My sister had a Skinomi skin for her iphone and said it was the best investment she could have made for her phone (3 years, no peeling, yellowing).
Take a look: skinomi dot com
I bought one of the skinomi skins. They are the only one I found as the other traditional makers (zagg, bodyguardz, bestskinsever, etc) did not offer a full set of skins cut for the DVP. Materials-wise, its the same as all of the other manufacturers. Fit is good, and much happier now that I finally have some protection for my device. Not a fan of the bulky carrying cases, and I've had skins on my last couple of phones, so I'd recommend these.
I installed the full skin by Skinomi yesterday. I've used Zagg and BestSkinsEver on various devices, and I would say this is on par with Zagg's Invisible Shield in term of thickness. I prefer BestSkinsEver because the films are thinner and a bit grippier.
Hey Guys, This is for anyone who is still looking for a Screen Protector for DVP. I've been a fan of Boxwave's ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen protector for years, I'm so glad they release one for DVP. Some of the Great Features I like are Dust Repelling & Fingerprint Free. I highly recommend This Screen Protector.

Please let us know what you think because mine didn't work too well. I removed the Skinomi screen after a week. The Home capacitive button wasn't too responsive. It works less than half the time.

still waiting for it. Taking too long to deliver to my country. The expected delivery time has begun so it should reach me any day now. I have heard about capacitive buttons not working with skinomi.i think you should give them a feedback on it. I an sure they'll send u a replacement and lets hope, find a way around this problem as well.

got my skin a couple of days back. installed it with little hiccups (suggestion: go easy on spraying the liquid on the sticky side of the skin)
kept it for over 24hrs to dry. n now love the grip i get on the dvp.
the feeling of holding the dvp in hand has grown richer..
also i am not having any issues related to non-response of the touch buttons on the face of the DVP
another suggestion: after putting the skin on the screen of the dvp i used a hair dryer to warm the edges to make them bend n stick the sides firmly...
it's thumb's up from my side.. i am happy with the skinomi...

Just wanted to say thanks for coming back with the follow up!
I ordered a Ghost Armor kit over the weekend (should be here by the end of the week) so I'll come back with my thoughts on it. If it turns out to be garbage I'll look into getting the Skinomi kit per your recommendation varunverma.
I just ordered the boxwave screen protector myself, I've used them before and they are by far the best! I hated Zagg. Boxwave is the hard plastic type that uses no adhesive, they are perfectly clear and super easy to install, Can't wait till mine arrive this week, I'll take some pics and post them.
My full body kit arrived from Ghost Armor the other day. Strangely enough full budy doesn't include a cover for the back. I've left a message with Ghost Armor asking if this is intentional but still haven't heard back.
I've watched a couple of Ghost Armor installation videos and am super paranoid about the amount of water they use in applying the skin to the DVP. I see people recommending the Boxwave/MartinsField dry installation protectors and may go that way depending on how long it takes Ghost Armor to reply to my inquiry.
Has anyone found a skinny rubber bumper to put on their phone yet? I wish the sides/back of the phone were rubberized like the top/bottom.
Derp - There is no protective film for the back because of the textured pattern. Hopefully the back doesn't scratch easily.
Moar edits! - I was mostly concerned about protecting my screen as my first DVP had 2-3 scratches on it (is Dell using a Gorilla Glass knockoff?) despite being babied and always riding in its own private pocket. This led me to purchase a full body Ghost Armor kit. I've had my Ghost Armor on for a couple of days now and love it compared to the InvisShield that I had on a previous iDevice. It isn't spongy/tacky; scrolling doesn't seem to be impaired by the skin at all. Looking at the device head on you can't tell that there is a skin on it though if you tilt it in the light it exhibits an ever so slight "orange peel" type effect; it's nowhere near as bad as the InvisShield. The Ghost Armor skin is also fairly grease/oil resistant. I don't have to wipe my device down nearly as much as I did without the skin on it. It also adds some nice grip to the device.
I do, however, have a few complaints about the Ghost Armor kit for the DVP -
a) No skin for back cover. I realize the textured back makes it hard to get something to stick on it, but I would have at least preferred a warning saying that "DVP FULL BODY KIT" is not actually a full body kit; only front screen and sides. Would have saved myself $10 that way.
b) The skin for the front screen does not overlap and cover the two tiny chrome strips to either side; instead, two tiny pieces of protective skin are included for them. I would have preferred one big piece to cover the screen and those chrome strips as the little strips were an absolute pain in the ass to install. I actually stretched one of them out a little bit during installation and that corner is covered in lint/dust.
c) The edges of this skin are not only "sharp" (I don't think you'll be cutting yourself on them, but you can definitely feel it as you use your DVP) but are absolute lint/dust magnets. Every time I pull my phone out of my pocket I start picking away at the little pieces of lint/dust around the edges of the skin.
So far I'm very pleased with my purchase.
Does anyone have the Spigen dual side screen protector with the play store Nexus 4 Bumper?
If you do- How does it fit and would you recommend it because I'm looking at possibly getting this combo.
I could save $15 and get a poetic bumper for $5 instead of the $20 play store one. The only thing is I prefer the look of the play store one.
I can also get the play store one for much cheaper later on.
I was also thinking of getting the Poetic Atmosphere because it looks so nice on the iPhone 5 an the Spigen (just front) screen protector.
But maybe I'll just get them both and decide for myself.
I have the spigen dual ordered. Should be here next week. I have the bumper already but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. I'm not liking how it makes the phone feel. The bumper is not as slim as I thought.
I have this exact combo - simply perfect.

I have the combo as well and I wouldn't necessarily call it perfect, though I like the combo. I think the front protector doesn't cover enough of the sides, so there is a gap between the bumper and the protector... You can feel it when swiping from the edges (ex: when switching between tabs in Chrome).
I think a better case / protector combo is the Spigen with Diztronic... The case covers enough of the sides so there is barely a gap on the sides.
Anyways, since I prefer the bumper, I'll wait for the Phantom tempered glass protector and hope that the fit will be nicer.
I'll try to post a few pics tomorrow.

I have the same combo and like others have mentioned I don't like that the front protector does not go edge to edge on the screen, but it was expected. I don't like wet application ones so I'll just suck it up.

Spigen released some dry application ones for the Galaxy S3 that covered the whole screen (which has curved edges) so we just have to wait!
Spigen has made curved glass protectors before (for the gs3) but the reviews for that particular protector are terrible.
The hardness is half that of the current N4 one they have.
Can somebody please post a picture of the combo.
And has anybody dropped their phone? Any stories about the combo?

Here you go (also showing my first attempt at snapseed haha). The protector just barely reaches to where the screen begins to curve down on the sides. The back is near perfect luckily. Let me know if you need to see any additional pictures.

While the novelty of the Spigen Curved Crystal protectors is nice, they are incredibly easy to scratch it seems. I have a coworker that got the Curved Crystal protectors for her GS3, and she was disappointed at how easily they got visible hairline scratches. The first one she was rough with, but the 2nd one she took care to keep covered with the official GS3 book-like case that has a front flap, and it somehow still managed to get scratched.
I really think that if you want to cover the whole glass on the Nexus 4, you pretty much have to go with a wet apply. I'm almost a mandatory dry apply person, but I must say, it really makes it look as if you cheaped out on the screen protector to anybody else that looks at your phone. The bumper only accentuates this visual problem. Personally I'm cursing LG and Google for even doing this to the screen, it seems utterly gimmicky, pointless, and makes it absolute hell to get a good smooth dry apply screen protector on the phone. I find myself actually avoiding using the sloped edge because I run right into the edge of my dry screen protector. I usually start my swipes right at the edge of the screen protector.

What is the difference between dry and wet application in terms of the screen's curve.
Correct me if I'm wrong but what I take you're saying is that wet application screen protectors will cover the entire (curved)N4 screen as dry ones won't (or if they do they won't be too good)

I don't actually have a wet apply protector myself, but I ordered a Best Skin's Ever full body set that should be delivered sometime next week, along with a Spigen Dual set. From reading up on them though, it seems like all of the wet apply ones do actually cover the entire glass, which would make sense as they're totally floppy and flexible during the installation phase. The tough part, even with those, seems to be getting them to cure and stick permanently to the curved glass.
I think I'll give the BSE a try and see how it goes before the Spigen, based on some people's comments that the BSE seems smoother than other brands of wet applies. I typically really hate the rubbery drag that the wet applies have.

That post is 2 weeks old. I'm sure that will change.
At this point, I've tried three different glass screen protectors for the G5. I've tried a Pleson screen protector, an iCarez, and a SuperShieldz. All three of them didn't adhere and I had to through them away.
Am I the only one with this problem? I mean, there has to be a way to protect the screen, but I'm just getting so frustrated. If you have the same problem, or if you found a solution, please let me know...
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the rant. I'm just getting annoyed with what should be a straightforward process.
I had the same issue with the Tech Armor (http://www.amazon.com/Tech-Armor-Ba...-1&keywords=lg+g5+screen+protector+tech+armor).
Ended up with an amfilm film protector. It actually sticks to the screen and works pretty well. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-amF...507712&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+g5+screen+protector
Still using it after about 2 weeks, and no problems have come up. Hope that helps
Same here! Ordered four different ones and got fed up. Now i am using IQ shield matte film and a million times better

GPEL has a model on pre-order right now for $25 ($30 msrp I guess). It appears to be made expressly contoured to fit the G5 properly, was a video on Reddit in the G5 sub showcasing it. Might be something. This is a gorilla glass phone like all the rest of them though so you'd have to really work at it to scratch it, screen protectors are not necessary.
I would hate to go back to film protectors because i've been using them for years, but I'm seeing a ton of negative thoughts about the glass versions for this phone. Might be a good idea to sacrifice the quality so the screen can be protected.
I just went to the Spigen films and it works well, smooth with no issues with installation

Not the only one, my PET screen protectors don't seem to stay adhered for more than a week. Kinda annoying. Checking Amazon reviews, there seems to be a lot of these issues.
If you like matte protectors like I do, this one has been great. I had to replace it when the spigen case (the one with the chin piece for easy battery removal) I was using peeled it back, but both installs have been flawless. I now use the thin fit spigen with 0 issues.

Very easy to install,you would never know it's on,it matches the phone perfectly. No bubbles what so ever,it does not mess with the quality of screen images or color. It fits over the curved edges nicely.It has a little bit of a lip towards the bottom,by the LG logo,but not a big deal. I'd highly recommend this to anyone wanting a tempered glass screen. G-Color did a very nice job with this. It also sticks to the edges,ive had no issues.

G5 screen protector
Just got a new G5 and been lurking around for a better screen protector and read all reviews but i'm hesitant to get any of it but I might try this.
.http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-device/lg/extreme-impact-screen-protector.html
For the minute, the one that was on the phone is doing fine for me, when it needs swapping, I'll try and get a Zagg one as theyre pretty good.
My current Phone is a Note 4.
I have always used Spigen screen protectors. The one on my Note 4 was applied almost 2 years ago and it only has minor scratches.
I noticed Spigen doesn't currently have a screen protector for the Note 7. Should I wait ? If not, is there a good alternative ?
Also the screen is curved. Does this mean the screen protector peels off from the sides ?
Iq shield or skinomi

+1 for the Skinomi's , but on my Note Edge, i had that orange-like surface on the screen when looking from an angle!

The Note 7 will be my first curved screen phone (upgrading from an S5) and I plan to get either an Otterbox or Spigen case for it. I had a screen protector for my GNex and hated it! Is a screen protector really necessary (or more necessary than non-curved screens)? Other than "necessity" what advantages do screen protectors add? I'm looking for some honest feedback since I have zero experience with curved phones.

So those of you that have experience with the Skinomi HD Clear screen protectors, I have a question for you. I bought this case for my phone:
Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen® [Rugged Armor] Resilient [Black] Ultimate protection from drops and impacts for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (2016) - (562CS20403) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GIUIFEI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_oNyTxbE3YE34X
Now this case is pretty minimal. Meaning it isn't very bulky and doesn't add a ton of protection. So with that being said, would the full coverage protector work or do I still need to go with the case friendly version? I'd appreciate any advice.
I had to get case friendly screen protectors for my S7 edge, pretty much all of my cases would lift the screen protector. I used IQshield and Skinomi full coverage on my S7 edge.
I also have the full coverage IQshield for the Note 7 and it's not installing very good. The edge is smaller on the Note 7 so the sides keep popping up. I have an Armorsuit case friendly that I will try soon.
I got the official screen protector with my note7 today at my local samsung store along with a bunch of other goodies in a cheap bundle.
the screen protector is film and not glass, but it's not flimsy, and is already pre-shaped to cater for the curve. it came with two in one pack.
the application was easy enough, as it came with dust stickers and a surprisingly high-quality hard-card with soft felt hemming on it for pushing out air bubbles.
it covers around 90% of the front glass panel, but still covers the whole display area itself, and reaches around the curves too, and is inconspicuous when put on properly.
definitely happy with it and will stick with this one until a really good quality curved glass protector comes out.

Could you post a picture of it on please?
Anyone have the finished product for IQ shield. People seem to be praising them.

Skinomi isnt glass.
Stumbled upon this and thought it may be good to share with the members here.

Bought one and tried - verdict: it's less prone to fingerprints. Now I'll be looking for a bumper case next
Does it lift on the sides? I have their front screen protector and it lifts on the edges.
Bought one from http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32701520282.html
And it was probably even easier to set up than the front. Unfortunately it does lift on the edges as well. I have yet to find one that doesn't have that effect. Then again the 2.5d glass makes it difficult like that.
An alternative
Hello people of honor
I found a very cheap alternative back protector on ali today.

It says the material is carbon fibre. According to pictures, it's partialy transparent. Also it should help with grip (hearing the phone is very slipery, still awaiting mine). The question is, how will it look on the phone. Could be somewhere betweeen good and an absolute abomination.
I ordered one today, I'll post here when I get mine (and my phone) if I remember & won't feel lazy.
Ohhhh that actually looks nice! Looking forward to seeing how it looks.
Is there a completely clear thin back film? I just want one to protect from scratches while still using a case

Tempered glass is NOT what I'm looking for. That's intended to use without a case. I need the old standard thin protector to leave no bulk while still using a case

the back layer thinner than front 0.3mm layer
I bought nillkin 0.2mm tempered glass protector for the front and it also came with a plastic protector for the back. I bought the carbon fiber back protector and it is garbage. The hole cutouts are off and it doesn't stick to the back that well. I'm just using the one included with nillkin.
