Giving up on glass screen protectors for the G5. - LG G5 Accessories

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

I don't mind using films, but I can't find any! All I find are the tempered glass protectors (square for 1$ and curved for ~10$).
I'm looking for the film ones.. the G5 came with one out of the box (Austria) but I need more..

Oh... never mind. Found one that actually covers the whole glass!!

Going to order 5 of them.

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.

So "Thin Fit Spigen matte protector" will fit with the Spigen Style Armor?

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.

[Q] Collreall Tempered Glass Full Cover

Has anyone tried out this Coolreall tempered glass screen protector? Appears that its edge to edge like the Nillkin protectors. Ordered one, should be here in the next couple days.

I think they just mean that the glass shards won't go everywhere if the glass breaks. it will stay intact. No flying shards etc.
looks really cool. please post pics after you get it and let us know how you like it

would be interested to see the results as well.
Unfortunately, they sent me the wrong color. I was asking for black instead of gold. I'm now trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle in exchanging.
My Coolreal tempered glass screen protector arrived today from Amazon. The quality looks really good, and it will definitely cover the entire screen. My only concern is that it appears the adhesive is only on the gold border and not the center of the screen. Haven't put it on my wife's S6 yet.
UTLK Galaxy S6 Screen Protector HD Clear Tempered Glass
I couldn't wait for the others to test these, so I bought the white version from UTLK on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WOA5HM0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Just installed it and it looks interesting, I mean its different from other glass protectors I have used before on my phones. but this definitely covers the whole screen and bezel, there is a little haloing as you see in the pics but they are disappearing. There screen protector quality attracts a bit of smudging which is not common in high quality glass. Overall I think its a good option at the price.
I installed one on my wife's phone last night. Results were good, some slight haloing around the edges as well. Hopefully they will disappear.

Thanks for the photos and mine has some haloing too. Going to wait a few days and might try out the UTLK brand if the haloing does not go away.
I got that one from Amazon an like the others there was a little haloing but I had to remove it as my tech21 case was pushing the protector off every time I press a side button... now I'm using those smaller protectors but I think I will end up with a plastic one... (I like my case ok?! heheheh)

i had the same exact problem with the Spigen hybrid case. i decided to send back the case and hope that the Diztronic case doesn't have the same issue as i really like the Collreall protector.
Does anyone know of one of these Edge to Edge screen covers that has adhesive on the screen as well and not just the edges?

The one I removed had adhesive on the screen. No problems with touch.
The one I just applied has adhesive on the screen. (And also as much halo as the last protector I had )
Ah, OK I wasn't sure these had adhesive on the screen or not, thought that maybe had something to do with the halo. Oh well.

Tempered Glass Protector

I was going to go with the Pleson brand from Amazon, but the latest reviews say it lifts around the edges. I want the glass to have circular cutouts for camera/flash/mics. Has to fit well on the screen with very minor margins. Anyone find something else that fits the bill?
I'd like to know this too. Anyone?
I actually have both the Skinomi and the Pleson glass screen protector. The Skinomi brand came in slightly cracked in two different places which made two different air bubbles that wouldn't go away and got bigger day by day. I emailed Skinomi and customer support seemed really great, they sent out a replacement that got here in 4 days. Only it wasn't a replacement. I told them twice during our exchange that my device was a Moto Z Force. They sent one for a Huawei Honor 5X. I emailed them about it and they said they are now "updating the design" on the Moto Z Force techglass protector and it wont be available til the 25th of Sept. I too was skeptical about the Pleson protector but I bought it anyway and I have to say I am very satisfied with my purchase, idk what kind of crappy application the other buyers did to have so many errors on the edges of the screen but this screen protector not only covers more than the Skinomi one, but I don't have a single air bubble. I have Pleson's cheap little TPU case also, and I have to say its also nice in my opinion.
You can see from these two pictures:
1. I don't have a single air bubble (Click the picture to view the full size image)
2. The dust remover sticky thing works wonders, I literally don't have a SINGLE spec of dirt/lint under the glass.
This was AFTER removing the thing like 3 times just to get it "PERFECTLY" over the front of the device. Honestly you forget its even there with this case that covers the edges.
I went with the Sparin ones and they are great. I was actually pretty surprised. I'm very anal when it comes to screen protectors. A set of 2 and a bunch of tools in the box to get screen protector on well for only $8. It was easy to install, great fit, and touch remains delicate and precise.

You do realize the phone comes with one preinstalled as part of the shattershield right?

You do realize Shattershield is shatterproof because the topmost layer, what you touch, isn't glass, its plastic. Which scratches insanely easily, dents easily when dropped(because plastic), and can be easily removed with a simple razor. So no, it isn't a screen protector. Which is why I say tempered glass is the way to go as tempered glass has a much higher scratch resistance than a shattershield display, and in my opinion, glass feels better than a plastic screen.

I left it, removing the plastic shattershield layer would more than likely cause more issues than necessary if you don't contact Motorola about a replacement layer. Especially if you plan to just throw on a glass screen protector on it, your phone screen might be like, concave.

Yeah and the screen can still be scratched and dented easily but won't shatter it happened on my first moto z force
So I ended up removing the Motorola shattershield with a razor. Was easy. Come in from bottom right corner to get a lip and then slowly peel off. No heat needed. It's a slightly firmer version of the skinomi plastic and I ended up putting a tempered glass replacement on it which looks and works fantastically. It really ups the look of the phone and just feels nicer

Definitely would dig seeing how that looks.
I've tried 2 different glass ones til I just got fed up, went to Verizon and brought the Zagg one for 34.99. Covers proper and looks and feels great.
The Pleson would've been great if it had seated around my finger print reader and ear speaker - the cut outs are very well done. It just didn't happen tho.... Ah well.

The Omoton 2 pack one on Amazon is lame - it barely covers the phone - pretty much only covers the display and stops pretty short of much else... They emailed me to explain the "curved" glass screen... Meanwhile Zagg and Pleson covered most of the screen! If we could get Pleson's cutout and Zagg's adhesive - we'd be golden.
I didnt know Zagg made a glass screen protector for the Z force?

Would like to see this as well. The wife and I both have damaged the front screen already and been waiting for Moto to come out with the replacement screen but still shows it as "Coming Soon". I have a slight scuff on the center towards the top and she actually dropped hers after tripping and chipped the screen in four spots. Kind of funny that we have never used screen protectors nor damaged one before and we get the one with the "shatterproof" screen and done it to both
Yeah, but the screen didn't shatter... [emoji14]

Shatter shield removed, no replacement
I removed the Shatter-Shield plastic because it was scratched and I'm planning on replacing it with tempered glass, but what they're really any be any problem with keeping the Shatter-Shield off and not replacing it? Aside from warranty issues
I have heard pro's and con's to shatter shield. Yeah it may scratch,,,but wont shatter if it is dropped. I guess that is why I put on the zagg glass screen protector asap to avoid scratches on the plastic part of screen. The Zagg screen protector from Verizon is really great looking and feels very smooth to touch way better than the original screen.

I know tempered glass is the hotness nowadays, but..

Do any film type screen protectors feel like glass yet? Ive had plastic ones that were ok, but I have yet to feel a film/wet apply protector that actually feels like glass.
I was browsing amazon, as I have been doing everyday since ordering a pixel and noticed a new tempered glass product.. https://is.gd/x8fgZC here.. and looking through the pictures, they show how much of the face the protector covers, https://is.gd/k2kOrR, which looks a bit odd, but https://is.gd/LNie2M explains that its cut to cover the 'flat portion' of the screen.. so its looking like the front glass of the Pixel is pretty curved near the edges.
Ill be putting some sort of case on my phone that will minimize the gap between the edge of the protector and the phone, but was wondering if there are any full coverage, film type, protectors out there that really feel like glass.
The only one I've found that is decent is the Zagg HDX. It not only feels good, but it's actually very protective. I agree, I would love a glass screen protector, but I want full front protection.

Until they come up with a new and improved version, assume all are bad.
I've tried two on Amazon and got the exact same results.

That's the only decent screen protector that fits right now. There's also a matte finish one. It's not tempered glass, but you get 8. The fit is much better than all of the tempered glass ones on Amazon. It's not 100% perfect as tiny bit of the edge don't stick but you won't notice from the distance unlike the current tempered glass.

If any part of a screen protector doesn't stick then all manner of stuff will get stuck in between. For those w/ colored borders, that's not much of an issue but completely clear ones will eventually show all the dust and stuff on it.

The essential screen isn't flat. I don't see a viable glass protector coming. It'd have to be super thin with a really strong adhesive to make it stick to the sides.

Actually much like the iPhone, it's flat until you get to the edge.
If the current round of protectors was 2mm smaller they would fit.
But for me, it doesn't matter.
I'm returning the phone.
There's still a thin bezel on the side that can handle adhesive on it so if they release one with black borders, I'd get it as the black borders won't show the halo effect even if it's not completely stuck on the outer edges. That's what I have on my iPhones. The display area is glass while the borders are plastic so they flex more.

Jus wait for the accessories to start coming out. Sounds like essential is open to 3rd parties making cases and screen protectors... So just got to hold on...this is what it sounded like from the reddit AMA
I have a Sopi 3M matte skin on the back and it helps with the grip a little but not by much... definitely helps w/ the fingerprints though... lol since it's matte, there can be visible smudges from time to time depending on how dirty/sweaty your paws are... I did read the AMA and they should've worked w/ case manufacturers long before release. I understand they want to keep it close to their vest until release (as to not tip off the competition) but they didn't ship the phone until much later than they said they would so in that time they could've sent out the outside schematics/dimensions to case manufacturers. No excuse!
The situation is the same for any devices that have curved edges. I'm not sure why companies just don't apply adhesive to the whole screen protector. A solution is using UV glue on a glass screen protector that isn't fully covered with adhesive. I've used the Whitedome on my Galaxy S8+ and it works really well. You should be able to buy the UV glue and UV lamp from Amazon and apply it to any glass screen protector. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KZmF8uQESI

Screen protector - NOT tempered glass but "old school" film

Hello all, I have tried a couple of tempered glass screen protectors; I have also read many many reviews.
It seems that there is no tempered glass protector that would be full screen; fit (most) cases and does not release on the edges for all.
I actually did not mind the screen protector which was installed by 1+ when I got the phone (and I did not like the tempered glass ones I tried).
So I contacted them today asking if I could buy a couple of those. To my biggest disappointment I was advised that although I am not the first one to ask, they do not consider the included screen protector to be a "product" and so they do not sell it even if I wanted a large quantity.
I spent some time researching ebay - but most (nearly all) sellers sell only tempered glass (which I don't want). The few seller that sell films are very expensive ($10+ vs. $1 for the tempered glass). That is also surprising as the cost of the film is much less...
So, my question to you all: who has tried film screen protectors? Where did you get it from and what experience did you have?
Thank you for sharing
I personally use 3MK Flexible glass - its hibrid glass. I use it from years, now on OP6. I think its the best option for any phone

I find this to be the pretty close and its an 8 pack.

Im waiting for my iqshield to be delivered next week. Got some high hopes. Gave up on tgsps as there is none currently i would be happy about. Not even the original one.

How is the fit on those? Can you possibly snap a pic of it on your phone with a case on as well?

I don't have one installed at the moment, testing a G-Most TPG. But the fit is pretty precise, need patience to get it even on both sides. It's case friendly.

I installed it. its a little bigger than I'd like. if it were maybe 1 cm smaller all around it would be perfect fit. im sure you can align this to fit correctly, but it leaves no room for error. ill try and get a pic.

Hmm, thats not good. Is it equally too big each way or is it just difficult to install totally centered, so its big on one side only?
A pic would help for sure.
I finally found regular PET protectors similar to the OEM ones that fit the phone well and are of good quality. I got them from here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/5X-Ultra-Thin-Tempered-Glass-PET-Soft-HD-Screen-Protector-Film-For-OnePlus-6/163161457336?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=462326426650&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
The adhesive is pretty sticky on them so they don't lift off but it's hard to get them perfectly bubble free. The way I get these on perfect every time is put rubbing alcohol all over the screen then apply the protector and set it in place exactly centered (it's easy to move because of the alcohol) Then lightly push down on it and very lightly push out some of the alcohol so you don't see any bubbles. Then wait five minutes and peel off the front layer then lightly with a small cloth push out the rest of the bubbles. When the alcohol dries (takes about 10-15 mins) it will adhere perfectly and there will be no residue, bubbles or dust under the protector.
I've got an IQshield on my OP6 http://www.iqshield.com/iq32368-oneplus-6-phone-screen-protector.html
I tried a few TG ones and wasn't happy with any. They either didn't stick properly or had the annoying black border. The IQshield is the best protector I've tried.
The best screen protector is the soft nano TPU protectors they sell at ebay or aliexpress for a buck a piece and these cover the whole screen and can be applied wet with some soap and water.

Does it cover the entire screen or leaves a gap at the edges?

I know why you are asking ...Most protectors don't cover the edges well. But this does .
I got this one:
OnePlus 6 Screen Protector, IQ Shield LiQuidSkin Full Coverage Screen Protector for OnePlus 6 HD Clear Anti-Bubble Film
From Amazon.
Accidentally dropped it on a concrete slab that had small gravel and dirt all over it about a week ago. Right out of my pocket. I do have one of those Tudia cases on it with a lip, HOWEVER some of that gravel did hit the glass. Tore up the screen protector in a couple spots. They kind of look like pin pricks but no discernible cracks or knicks in the glass what so ever, and the other scratches to the screen protector went away after rubbing with my fingers.
Talk about a freak out moment.

How is the texture and clarity of the IQ? I got a Skinomi (with has a similar product description) and personally I was not happy with the stretchy texture and less-then-smooth feel when swiping. Also, it seemed to like clarity and almost had small "webs" when looking at it at certain angles. (not bubbles)
