Well I've tried searching for this on google and on many sites and Motorola's serviceone isn't picking up in my country. I'm using the XT720 from Singapore's Starhub (blue back cover)
So I'm wondering does this phone have gorilla glass? I really want to take out the screen protector considering how sharp this screen is without it.
Anyone have confirmation?

khalpowers has a video on youtube of him trying to scratch his with some scissors. just search xt720 gorrilla glass. im pretty sure it has it and im pretty sure i remember seeing xt720 on gorrilla glass's website also.
Yes, I can confirm you that XT720 has a Gorilla Glass (or at least, some kind of really strong scratch resistant glass). The screen is very durable and can resist of any scratch to the surface.
you don't need to apply normal screen protector to the phone, but in case you don't like the reflective glare from the direct light and smudgy fingerprints, you can apply matte screen protector.
Great thanks alot all of you guys haha, I really wanna enjoy my screen's quality without having the matte protector bring it down.
The below is M's reply.
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I’ve reviewed your e-mail dated 20/02/2011 02.41 AM and I’m ready to help.
We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing you. Motorola Milestone XT like other Motorola Android phones has Gorilla Glass. However, please note that this is scratch resistant only. This doesn’t suggest that it is scratch proof and shock proof. It is still recommended to take good care of the phone and keep it away from any impacts as much as possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter.

WARNING i had taken my screen protector off for like a week now to see the real beauty of the screen and now bunch of baby hair line scratchs. just throwing that out there so better safe than sorry. so time to put my replacement zagg screen protector on god i hate zagg
I've been using the XT720 for 2 months without any kind of screen protectors, no scratches of any kind yet...
It is Gorilla Glass ( Not as strong as the one found in the DEFY tho.
Well, i had take off the screen protection and after 2 weeks now i have 2 scratch, so thin but anyways i don't want scratch my screen. Now i have a invisible shield screen protector, but it not feels the same, i really like how the screen feels without any screen protection, but, well, what else can i do?

I like to review accessories on XDA. After reading the rave reviews concerning Clarivue screen protectors I decided to contact them for a review unit. Alex from Clarivue was nice enough to send me one of their 4 way privacy screen protectors for the Nexus 4.
I have always been a fan of matte screen protectors. I have a Tech Armor Matte screen protector on my Nexus 7 and love it. I would rather sacrifice a little screen quality in order to avoid the hassles of screen glare and fingerprints. What I have learned over the years is that there is a big difference in price, quality and screen degradation between manufactures of matte screen protectors. With a price of $19.99 at www.clarivue.com the Clarivue LG GOOGLE NEXUS 4 4 WAY PRIVACY SCREEN PROTECTOR is far from the cheapest on the market. While many companies have yet to make accessories for the Nexus 4, history shows most of the competition will price around the $6.95-$11.95 range. So my question is what makes this screen protector worth the extra cost and should I buy a privacy protector over a standard anti-glare?
At first look this privacy screen protector resembles a regular matte finish. (Please see the picture below of my clarivue screen protector alongside my nexus 7 Tech Armor matte protector.) You can see it has multiple closed layers and it has a little bit of a rippled look when viewed with the screen off. My finger still moves smoothly over the surface. The finish has an anti-fingerprint layer helping to prevent smudges when you touch the screen. In a stark contrast to the $4.95 screen protectors, the Clarivue privacy protector comes with a clear protector for the rear of the device. In my opinion, this is a fantastic idea and I am surprised more manufactures have not adopted this. The combination of a privacy screen for the front and a clear screen for the back is only logical and still allows you to showcase the design on the rear of the Nexus 4. Packaging for the screen protectors was top notch. In addition to the attractive packaging from Clarivue, it was also placed in a bubble wrap package to insure it was not damaged in transit. Shipping time took 5 days via USPS.
The fit and finish of this protector set is amongst the best on the market. The film is actually the thickest I have ever experienced with a screen protector. Due to the curved edge of the Nexus 4’s screen, Clarivue was not able to build the screen protector from edge to edge. As a privacy screen protector it did lead to an interesting design flaw. When viewing the screen protector from the side, light actually slips around the sides of the screen protector. The anti-glare, anti-fingerprint layer works very well. Viewing angles were interesting. Please review the screen shot below. When viewed from a 45 degree angle the screen is still clearly visible and I was able to read the information clearly (First picture after up close screen shots). I have also posted images of an 80 degree angles. Please note that the screen information can still be seen. This was the same when viewed from the top and bottom as well. Another note is that with a privacy screen protector installed the notification light is very hard to view. Keep this in mind if you use this on a daily basis.
The screen degradation on the Nexus 4 with the Clarivue Privacy protector installed is substantial. I will be the first to admit that this is my first experience with a privacy screen protector. From my research I knew the protector would decrease clarity. I was not aware of the black lines that create a grid network across the screen. It does not lead to a pixilated look that can sometimes be present in matte screen protectors. It almost resembles looking at an extremely clear screen through a chain link fence. In comparison to a matte screen protector, the Clarivue privacy screen protector does cause a larger decrease in screen clarity and light passage. I have also noted a decrease in initial touch sensitivity with the screen protector installed. Initial touch will register at .50+ and scrolls will register as low as .34. I have noticed multiple missed presses after installing the protector. Despite the decrease in sensitivity I am actually impressed at how little it changed the normal responsiveness based on the thickness of the material.
Clarivue sells the Privacy Protector with a stated scratch resistant coating. In order to test this was wanted to see how the protector stood up against a set of keys. I performed the standard key to screen scratch test. I am shocked to say that the Clarivue screen protector performed FANTASTIC! Using light to moderate pressure I was only able to get one micro scratch what is not viewable with the screen on. Great job Clarivue! I would definitely trust this screen protector in a pocket or purse with keys and other objects. This is important when you think about the cost knowing that the screen protector will last for the foreseeable future.
In final, my impressions of the Clarivue Privacy Screen Protector are that it has top of the line quality and great packaging. The screen protector does not completely black out the screen when viewed from an angle, and it does cause a noticeable decrease in screen quality. Would I recommend this privacy screen protector for $19.99? No I would not. I am however considering getting their version of the matte screen protector. The ultra-clear back they sent me is beautiful, however it is a fingerprint magnet. I think that for $14.99 for two anti-glare protectors the quality is worth the cost. Clarivue was nice enough to provide us with a 10% discount code for reading this review. At checkout please use: ten2013. It is valid until 30 June 2013.
If you would like to purchase one of Clarivue’s Nexus 4 screen protectors you can do so at their website: http://www.clarivue.com. Additionally Clarivue has asked that if you like their products please “like” them on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Clarivue-Screen-Protectors/99840540072.
I hope this review has helped a few of you picking your screen protectors. This might help save a few bucks if you were wondering the benefit of a privacy screen protector vs matte. Please hit the thanks button if this helped. See the pics below and let me know if you have questions.

good review!
Do the other models, ie. the matte protector also only cover as much as this one and leaves the edges uncovered?

I think all the screen protectors have the same cut. The good part is that it does have the cut out for the proximity sensor. To be honest I don't think you will find a screen protector with a closer cut unless you go with a wet install.

Do you have any pics of the scratches on your protector? If you have any negative comments about the customer support please post it so everyone knows. They charge top price so you should expect a top of the line product.

For me the screen protector is nice and all. I got the anti glare one and the matte feels smooth. The screen protector didn't come with a proximity sensor cut out... Which I think is necessary so I emailed them about it. I don't like how the screen protector bubbles at the sides of the phone right before the curve part like mentioned by the op.
OP thanks for the review. I am a sucker for the anti glare protectors. Question for you though, I know I want the anti glare for the front but still want to be able to show off the back. How did the anti glare effect the look of the back of the phone. I emailed Alex to see if they could throw together a anti glare front and clear back for me but he suggested ordering two different sets.... don't think so at these prices! Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I ordered a set of 3 cheap anti-glare screen protectors from eBay, came in today and yes, the sides aren't probably going to be covered by any dry install screen protectors and anti-glare is great at fingerprints and glare but suck for degrading the screen quality.
Now, I don't know if I should take off the xtremeguards that I currently have and install the antiglare now.

From my understanding if you order the matte front it does come with a matte back in the set. I received the privacy protector which is paired with a clear back. So the one I have installed is clear and I can not comment on a matte protector on the back. I would say that I agree with you about the cost being to excessive to buy 2 separate protectors (matte front, clear back). The clear back looks nice however I still get a air bubble every once in a while in the center of the back. It is not from dust and I can easily squeeze it out. This is the first time I have experienced this before.
Alex asked me to send him feedback from the customers so they cold recommend improvements. I think they Clarivue should seriously consider making an option for a matte/clear set. I mean seriously, who wants a matte back with such a beautiful design?
Sorry I could not be more help. If I stumble across a pic of a matte back I will pm the link to you.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I'm sure there's a picture floating around somewhere out there but nothing like first hand experience ya know. Once again thanks for taking the time to do a review for everyone.
As for matte front/clear back....like I said alex didn't seem to think it was a reasonable request, blatantly telling me to order 2 separate sets. I had a word or two for him but I try not to let the small things in life bother me too much.

I completely agree about not sweating the small stuff. I would just hope that knowing he sent me a FREE screen protector set to review he would listen to the feedback. Actually he specifically said that's the reason he sent me one.
I will let him know. If nothing else hopefully both of us barking helps.

Well just to follow up, Clarivue is going to send me a new package that has the proximity sensor cut out at zero cost. Pretty good customer service I'd say.
Hello Note 3 owners,
I created this thread to talk about screen protectors and cases, screen protectors seem to keep the screen clean and protect it from scratches, however, a cheap screen protector(come on, I'm not gonna pay 40$ for a piece of glass) might disturb the beauty of the screen and the sensitivity of the S Pen's air commands.
On the other hand, cases protect the entire phone if it falls(which happens a lot to me), and some cases are a bit extended on the front to keep some space between the screen and the floor, and also cases are very affordable.
So, this was opinion, please feel free to share your own opinion and experience about protecting this beautiful piece of technology.
I'm looking forward to hear from you guys.
Have a nice day.

Hello! Does anyone have any experiences with the few available options for a privacy screen protector? I'm looking for a 4-way, if possible. I ended up purchasing a tempered glass privacy shield from HYAIZLZ below.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ZCSEM/
It is marginally acceptable. Good fit and easy to apply, however it is only a 2-way privacy screen and the angle needed for it to be effective in blocking out the screen is rather extreme.
I want to open a discussion about full glue / adhesive tempered glass case friendly. What do you think is the best and where do you buy it
Personally I gave up and am going protector free with a UAG monarch case
Do not give up. That's why I started this discussion. They are certainly there. let's wait for people to post here
I have honestly not had any luck with tempered glass screen protectors on curved screens. They all seem to reduce screen sensitivity to a level that's unacceptable to me. I can't stand having to press stuff twice or have the notification blind be difficult to pull down.
After trying 3 different tempered glass screen protectors they all ended up being crap, and these were decent ones too, the glue around the edges attract so much dust and debri, I've seen people use a UV light to put on a full cover screen protector with some special adhesive , but it's expensive. My s8+ has been naked for months now just a spigen full armour case on it lol.
