Hi, have any one try a Matt Screen Protector on DHD? I'm interested in the Matt one but afraid that the color would be distorted/dimmed too much... Any suggestion? Thanks!
I installed the Martin Fields protector, and the picture is like before the install, no blurryness or anything. Crisp and clear.
I can highly recommend it, and no worries about any airbubbles with MartinFields

has your DHD got a matte screen?
I got a matte one from a Japanese company (Sanwa). It very slightly reduces crispness but feels smooth as silk even when my finger is a bit tacky.
actually the matte or anti fingerprint really diminishes the screens colors and brightness. it will do injustice to your phone but no more wiping due to greasy fingers.
So does anyone know any good matt screen protectors?
Gotta comment again about my MartinFields, u get bubbles if u have some crap between screen and the protector it took me about 20min to install it perfecly, always some crap on the screen and had to use scotchtape to remove them or just not inline with the screen. But i got and worth the time the protector has a rly good feel to it, and even with sticky fingers no problem at all, fingers glides rly good. Almost as no protector at all fingerprints show only when screen is off. Recommended.

Firstly:
I have used a matte protector, it really messes with the colors, whites end up "rainbowed" etc. It feels much nicer though, so weigh up what is most important to you. Personally i dont use a matte one any more.
Secondly, i think these martin fields screen protectors are a complete rip off. I have tried many brands, and frankly you can pick up a pack of 10 on ebay for a few pounds, they fit well and if you install them correctly they are invisible.
I dont see how the Martin Fields protectors are superior, the ebay cheapies do NOT dim the screen.

I had a matt 'anti-glare' protector from Brando but have replaced it with a cheap one that came free with a charger.
Why? Because..
a) it reduced the visibility of the screen in any light and washed out the colours and diminished sharpness of the screen,
b) the anti-glare didn't get rid of all the glare so it was still hard to read in bright light, and
c) when I tried to remove it to put on a replacement DHD I found that it was impossible to clean properly, and I couldn't remove all of the bubbles, and it also creased very easily.
Once creased it couldn't be straightened, so I threw it away.

I've just gone back to a glossy screen protector due to the rainbow effect and reduced sharpness of the matte screen protector.

the best way to instal screen protectors / body shields is in a steamy enviroment, i always have a shower then clean the screen and instal, never have any dust etc get under the screens this way.. The steam pull all the dust out of the air!!.
My screen with zagg looks like diamond

if you are worried about sticky fingers try rubbing some wd40 oil onto a glossy screen protector, works a trick as wd40 is oleophobic
I ripped my martin fields one somehow, its been on for about 3 weeks and it has a cut in it D:
Wonder if they will replace it :O
used matt and clear. Using clear one now. Crisp & clear is more important than anti fingerprint & anti glare.

I went daft and got a mirror protector problem it not so clear and it makes the screen go funny colours

I would like to get a matte protector, because the glare from the sun gets annoying when i have my screen on lowest brightness (which is most the time) though I don't want to loose crispness. So still not sure which one i'd go for

wow does this really work? would it stay on the screen and not come off your fingers? got some wd40 at home might just give it a shot.

For $27.99 shipped free (in the US anyway), seemed an ok price. Now I am coming from the Maru Tempered glass and that was a total waste of time and money. But that's another story.
I got my package a day ahead of schedule, kudos for speedy delivery of USPS here. When I got the package, the screen protector came in a nice thick box. My guess is to protect the iloome while in transit. When opening the box, you see instructions on how to install the protector. First and foremost, they say to look at the youtube videos and check out the installation vids posted by them. I viewed the GS4 video and that was really cool looking! I wonder why they didn't create a protector that is completely clear like the GS4 video shows. But whatever...I digress....
After checking the vid, I read the instruction card in the box a few times to make sure I didn't miss any steps. I practiced my placement of the protector a few times to align the camera and LED. Now saying that and looking at my phone, the front camera is a tad off. But I am OK with that because I don't take selfies lol. Or vid phone. Well anyways, I just turned it on to see if any of the protector was blocking the front cam and I am glad to report back no. All is clear.
After I put it on, tested PIE UI on it and increasing the trigger area, it works like it should. Is there any loss of responsiveness? A slight, but no where in the realms of the other protector I had, the Maru (boo!). Also I do see a oily spot smack in the middle of the phone. I cannot see it with the screen on, only when off
Anyways here's pics of it installed without and with the OEM White bumper. I am liking this protector so far!
Any questions please feel free to post them!
Thanks once I get back my money from maru I will pick this up. I just wish they cut out the camera

It does attract fingerprints more than a simple screen protector. So yea it's a bit of a fingerprint magnet.
And after a half day of usage. I have to report it's not responsive as a screen protector, but it still works pretty good. I love the slickness of the glass. It's buttery smooth.
I have gotten over the oily or rainbow spot in the middle thus far. As long as it works as well as it does, I can deal with it and enjoy the smoothness.:good:
One of the things I love about the Nexus 4 are the curved edges. Does the iloome greatly diminish that? Thanks.

Yes it does. I currently use a bumper and if I don't I use a case like the Ringke Fusion (when traveling). And when using those, the edges are pretty much gone, which I am used to since getting cases.
New day with the iloome...heading into the office this AM, and popping my phone on my orb charger, I noticed the screen get really dusty. I have to admit, my truck is dirty as all heaven lol, so I know where all the dust and debris came from. Just a dusting with a lint free cloth and good to go from there. Still loving it!
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it! I'm seriously considering getting one... Just want to make sure it doesn't have all the problems like the Maru...
1. When holding the phone naked (no case or bumper) does it add noticeable or considerable thickness in your hand?
(95% of the time I use my phone naked. The slim form factor of the Nexus 4 feels so good... Don't want to completely ruin that...)
2. Has the rainbow splotch in the middle of your screen gone away? If not, can you take a picture of it?
Thank you.

I totally forgot about the blotch. I mean it was there yesterday and then when I just looked at it, it's gone! Lovely! And looking at the phone without the bumper, with the just the iloome looks a bit odd IMO. I wouldn't use it without a case or bumper, but that's me. I think it's because I know the edges are there and naked I KNOW what it's supposed to look like lol. I mean it doesn't look bad. To me it kinda looks like a thick screen protector on it. Would I leave it on naked? Personally no, because when you drop the phone naked, it's most likely going to crack somewhere. But if your goal is to protect the face, I wouldn't bank on it entirely. Well...without a case of some sort anyways.
EDIT: just took the bumper off and took a good look at it...
To me, it looks like a Nexus One! LOL A bit bigger, but has the "look" when the black painted sides are visible. I mean if it was clear, I may have a different opinion? I dunno lol.
Also, I noticed a hairline scratch under the protector which can only be seen with the screen off and at an angle. I emailed iloome last night, took a picture this morning and an hour later, they issued a refund and I get to keep the protector. Great customer service!

Yeah I'm the same way. I love the slim dimensions and buttery smoothness of my N4 naked but still want a little protection for the front and back glass... And I hate the rubbery feeling of normal screen protectors so they aren't an option.
I'm willing to pay top dollar but the few glass screen protectors they have are either garbage (i.e. Maru) or don't offer a really thin profile with rounded edges...

Pics of the iloome tempered glass screen protector with Ringke Fusion case. Looks good! LOL I can say it JUST fits with the Fusion on. Any higher or wider and the screen protector will come off.
EDIT: Put back the Fusion and pressing the sides will case the lip of the Fusion case to slip under the glass and cause a popping noise. Even though I don't see any lifting of the glass, I can see that it may do so with constant gripping on the sides.
Thanks! You're awesome! I was worried the protector would lift when I grip the phone too hard with a case on. It happened with my Fantom 4.

WAIT! LOL
I just put it back on and based on the "tight grip". I hear a pop when pressed together and hear a pop on the sides of the phone...So it will lift IMO eventually sorry!
Oh nooooo! I guess I'll decide between running my phone naked or stick with my case, lol. The bumper is fine though?

Yes the bumper is fine. When gripping it tightly, the bumper stays into place. I think the Ringke has some give and the lip slips under the glass a bit to create that popping sound.
I ordered the Clarivue tempered glass one as well and apparently is thinner and no black marking, making it completely clear,which I prefer, but will report back if it works on both bumper and Fusion. Stay tuned! I should get it by the end of this week or next Monday the latest.
However, if it doesn't work with PA PIE UI, then it's dead to me lol. So for moment the iloome wins out thus far.
This thread seems more appropriate as the tempered glass thread discussing various plastic screen protectors is taking away from the focus of the thread itself. Cheers. [emoji106]

has anyone switched from the zagg glass to the zagg hdx? Does it have the same clarity and smooth feeling?
It seems like there are mixed reviews on the texture of it. Some say it's rubbery and others say it's glasslike. Either way if the oleophobic coating is decent, it should be a nice alternative to glass. I have one on order. Gonna try it before I put the iloome on my wife's phone. I'll put up some pics and thoughts when it gets here.
sent from my Samsung GALAXY Note® 4
I put one on yesterday. It fits very well and almost disappears once on the device. It doesn't feel as smooth as the glass. It is a liitle more grippy, but nothing like the old rubber ones. On a scale of 1 (rubber) to 10 (glass), I would rate it a seven. Very nice and entirely acceptable to me.

Agreed, im using the Spidgen protector nd its pretty good. I have to say that the Spen's low-spectrum sensitivity is almost useless now, but overall the Spen experience is good (so long as you have greased the screen with your finger oils). I found at first, beforegetting my oils o nthe screen, the Spen would drag. Did you have the same effect on your zagg?

Is the HDX just a thicker piece of PET film?
I posted this in another board but thought I would share here also:
I wanted to update if anyone bought the Zagg tempered glass. I did some research online(including here) about the halo effect and called Zagg today. Talked to the customer service rep and she was aware of the issue and told me that they did correct it but had issues so not sending them out yet. She said they are sending a HDX out temporarily until they can send out the corrected tempered glass. So they are not charging me for the HDX (which I will get in 5-7 days) and she said to wait as long as I can and then call back and they will send me a corrected tempered glass when they are ready. Wanted to let people know to call them.

Check out page 170 of the tempered glass thread, a forum member posted a picture that shows the composition of the Zagg HDX. It is not a PET film protector in any manner.

Can't speak yet as to the HDX, but the iloome had lots of bubbles like the PET ones but they were easily removed with the squeegee and microfiber cloth. One nice thing about the glasses. No bubbles and one touch install.

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 couldn't stand the white Halo around the edges with my previous screen protector, so I ordered the Skinomi wet install one. It's not tempered glass, but more like a thick film. Very happy with the results. There are no bubbles and no air around the edges. You can't even tell there is a screen protector on the phone. Now I know it won't protect the screen in a hard fall, but it will definitely prevent scratches. Goes really well with my thin Tudia case.

I'm not a big fan of thick tempered screen protectors in the first place. They don't cover the entire phone like the film ones do. I've never cracked a screen on any of my phones and just need something to protect the screen from scratches.

Skinomi works fine with my Tudia GLOST
