[Q] Zagg problem with G2

Just got the Zagg screen protector. It is cut around a 32nd of an inch too big for the screen and overlaps frame around the screen. Since the screen is recessed just a hair, a gap forms along the edges.
I installed one on my Vibrant (sold it for the G2) and it was perfect.
For those who say the protector wasn't centered correctly, it was and overlaps on both top and bottom and side to side.
Going to contact Zagg.
Anyone else with this problem?

Yep... just came upstairs from installing mine. A hair too big. It'll do until my PhantomSkinz protector arrives.

Zagg is sending me a replacement
Just got off the phone with Zagg. They're going to send me a replacement but the representative said this was the first time he's heard of this.

Just submitted my complaint via the online form, so I guess now they have at least two cases. Of course, I have a feeling you'll get another screen protector that's too big. Let us know if it fits better.

Mine did not fit either, I assumed that I did not properly apply it. SO I checked back and you are right, it is a bit too long. I will contact Zagg tonight to confirm that there is more than two users with this problem ;-)

Mines on the way hope it doesn't have that problem

Mine was just a fraction too big, but as it dried, it shrunk a little and now fits perfect.
And yes, I am talking about the Zagg screen protector despite how that sounds.
Edit: I guess there is the slightest bit in one corner that is not adhering because it is just a hair too big. It is perfectly positioned and no room to move it, so yeah, guess it does have a problem. As time goes by, it will be a bigger problem as dust and stuff gets in there.

Too big here too. I contacted them through the online form, so we'll see.

I just ordered the full shield today...
At least they follow through with warranties.

Same. I just got my Zagg today and just installed it. Too big!
I also just sent them an email to let them know about it. I told them to actually get a fix first before sending me a new Zagg shield.

I ordered the full cover as well today. I tracked the shipping with twitter and I believe they're back ordered.

Fix when I get replacement
As I mentioned in the first post, Zagg is sending me a replacement screen protector..the rep I talked to said it may be just a bad batch that is oversized.
They also originally charged me $3.99 for the replacement until I called back and complained that this wasn't a warranty replacement, it was a bad product replacement.
At any rate, if the new screen is too large, I'll probably just get a ruler and a box cutter and trim it myself. I'll compare the cutout to the screen and make the appropriate cuts. I did a test fit with the original cutout...it seemed too large but I thought the screen protector might be smaller to make it easier to peel off the backing.
All in all, Zagg products are still top notch!

When someone gets their full body coverage do you mind sharing how it feels in the hand over the soft-touch plastic?

Weird, I've never heard of Zagg. I live in Arizona, is it mainly an eastern thing or something? Since the G1 I've always used Ghost Armor, which is actually based in Az. I don't know how Zagg feels, but I highly recommend Ghost Armor. It actually feels pretty close to HTCs soft touch. Its almost like a soft clear rubber that's super thin yet very protective. I've heard the material was developed by the military and licensed by Ghost Armor.
Anyways I went and got a screen cover (they will install it all for you) the day my G2 came, but I'm waiting on them to get the kit for full armor which should be in Monday hopefully. The armor comes with a lifetime warrenty and they'll put a new cover on at anytime if you drop it a bunch and screw it up for free.

I ordered mine yesterday.... waiting on it.... hoping it fits...

I just filled out the online form and came here to see if anyone else was having the same problem. Too tall and a hair too wide that keeps it from laying flat in a couple of places. Good results previously from Zagg. Kind of like brando.hk protectors, but they didn't have anything yet for the G2.
I think it's too tall to ever shrink enough to fit.

The funny thing about what you described sounds just like invisible shield. The material is military grade and used by the military. Anyway, I lived in California for the past 7 years and used invisible shield on all my devices.

I guess you were lucky. When I contacted them they asked for photos and want me to measure screen and shield. I guess it depends on who reads your emails

Yea, let us know how it turns out when you get it. Hopefully they'll fix the size issue. I was thinking of purchasing one myself.

Moshi antiglare screen protector

Worth every penny. No joke, if you like these get one from the AT&T store.
Sent from my Atrix 2.

Agreed. I have tried almost all of them and Moshi is the best IMO. No soapy water, no wait to cure and no bubbles. Just wipe off your screen and apply. And if you don't place it perfectly, just pick up and reapply. I have taken them off, rinsed them in the sink, let them air dry and reapplied, no problem. Some claim it desensitizes the screen, but not my experience. Can be a little pricey ($20 to $25) and hard to find at a discount, but well worth the ease of use for me.

Somehow I failed to notice that it completely covers the notification light. Fail.

does it degrade the screen quality? i ask because i have friends with iphones who bought anti-glare screen protectors and their screen looks horrible and they have the retina display.

I was also bummed when I noticed this (I thought the led was broken at first). I emailed Moshi and they said it was something Moto change last minute and to ask for a refund from AT&T. I bought a $2 xtreme guard from Amazon that came today. I'll try it out tomorrow and give ATT a visit.

I have the Moshi and while it is easy to use, covering the LED notification light is a deal breaker.

While it's a great idea, the Moshi isn't worth it. I bought it from the local AT&T store for about $30 and applied it in a couple seconds. I got home and realized that I put it on *slightly* off, so I took it off and washed it, then left it to air-dry. I let it dry for a bit more than 48 hours, and then I picked it up to apply it to my A2. There was STILL bits of residue from the water that was easily visible. I washed it again and dried it 3 more times, getting as much water off the screen as I could, but 2 days later there was still signs of water.
So, unless you can find a place to put a piece of plastic for a week without any dust getting on it, don't even think about washing it. As for the notification LED, I didn't notice it because it was only applied for a few hours, but it's certainly a deal-breaker for me. However, I'm a bit skeptical about Moshi's excuse. How could they NOT know that there was a notification LED for such a device? It sounds to me like the just didn't see it 0_O
Sigh... off to the AT&T store for me to see if I can get a refund, although I threw away that cheap (but expensive!) piece of plastic a couple days ago :\. It's too bad about the notification LED, because otherwise I would be willing to buy that again and just not wash it .

I bought one of these and it had the notification light issue, I emailed support and they sent me out a brand new one that corrects the issue for free. My wife has the same phone so I just put it on hers. I really dont need the notification light.

Don't like these or the extreme guards. I buy mine off ebay for a fraction of the cost and they work fine. Have always protected my screen and never damage anything.
The Moshi makes my screen look grainy.
The Xtreme is too hard to apply. One mess up and you might as well throw it away.

That's great! I might try doing that because it's a great screen protector besides the washing/reapplying thing.
EDIT!
I emailed them yesterday and they replied, saying:
Hello,
Thank you for your email.
We’ve heard from a few customers that the iVisor for the Motorola Atrix 2 doesn’t match the phone in the way it was intended to. Unfortunately, the phone’s design was changed at the last minute by the phone manufacturer and both AT&T and Moshi were unaware of this.
Please send it back to our Sunnyvale office and we'll send you an updated version of the iVisor for the Motorola Atrix 2 under warranty coverage.

Since I don't have the protector with me I emailed them back asking if what I had was enough to exchange: The cardboard slip with instructions/warranty info, the cleaning cloth, and (possibly) the receipt from the AT&T store. I am waiting for a reply.
So, even if they did mess up and forget about the notification LED, they have great support and stay on top of all their products.

I love how the moshi screen protector looks on the phone. I'm not big on branding so the black under coating is perfect for hiding the AT&T and Motorola logos. After using an antiglare protector I can't be happy without it. However the dealbreaker for me was how little tackiness it had. Without a case holding the screen protector in place it would shift around in my pocket. Eventually it would slide off completely. I bought two, the first applied by the store associate, the second I applied myself. Same problem both times.

After a while of using the protector I think I would prefer a different one. It is very convenient but it is very soft and scratches/marks easily. Their technical support is amazing but the product is just OK... and also pretty expensive.
The feeling of the the screen protector is kind of weird... it's tacky but not tacky at the same time. It is very, very smooth... almost like a really clean chalk board, and you finger can very easily glide across it... but as soon as you apply too much pressure it gets fairly tacky.
It also makes the screen look grainy, although it's bearable.

Screen Protector needed

Do we have any options for screen protectors on this tablet? I'd prefer to use the tablet "naked" with only a film over the screen to help deter scratches. (I really don't care if the back gets scratched..)
Thanks

SKinomi makes one for the GT7+ and the quality is good but I'm warning you of their customer service. They have the worst customer service. You better hope you won't have to deal with them. They got 3 strikes from me just on one order.
1st: they forgot to process the order, I had to send them a followup email
2nd they again, forgot to send the item after 10 days from processing. I had to send them another followup email.
3rd: the item arrived, they forgot to include a squeegee! No big deal if this is just the case but they already f#$%ed me 2x.
Plus they only respond if you answer them basic questions but if they had to deal with these issues, they keep silent and doesn't even apologize for their mistake. This is just my experience though.. I hope this doesn't happen to you.
UPDATE: Just got a word from their manager. They are in the process of looking for a company that will provide a squeegee for them (no biggie). And he apologized for everything that had happened.. That's all I needed. .. and a full refund. All is well!

Something I stumbled upon a while back. I've not bought it as I hear "Santa" is bringing it to me.
Looks pretty good from here.

Is it a glossy style or a more matte style? Would you say fingerprints are more or less of a problem with this screen protector? Would you describe the film as stiff or more "stretchy"? Does the protector create an "orange peel" effect?
Thanks

The Skinomis I've used in the past on other devices (wet apply) are iffy. Some were rather "rubbery" (DroidX) and kind of shiny (TF101). The larger the more pliable. I replaced both. Not a real fan of "wet-apply" myself. Others swear by them. Both attracted fingerprints and other goobers but wiped off easily.

This is the clear style not matte. Im curious on how a matte protector wouldfeel or look like but this clear skin is better in reducing fingrprnts than having nothing. My hands sweat a lot and this really helps. The feel is similar to Bodyguardz if you had experienced it. Total opposite ofnthe zagg protector that ive used on a gt10.1. My fingers has a friction squeaking feel on a zagg but this one is smooth.
This film is "stretchy".. wet apply..have like 2 dozen bubbles on it right now because i had to attend to my crying 2 yr old while applying this thing. By the time i came back, the it was too late to redo. But im confident these bubbles will all go away in a couple of days. Will update when the time comes. Some of them are already gone after 24 hours.
Anyway, if youre a fan of bodyguardz then this would be perfect as well. "Skinomi25" coupon cvode on their website saves 25%

just to let every one know i ordered 2 kits from skinoni on Nov. 17 and the items did not ship till Nov. 30 and i have not received anything from them yet (Dec. 9). not very impressive shipping or customer service.

I think it's more matte style, but I may be comparing it to phone protectors which I've used outside. No fingerprints on mine - I'm hella dark and ashy, and I have to use hand lotion all the time so chicks dig me. Fingerprints are a huge concern for me, so I am pleased with that aspect of the skin.
I don't notice any orange effect. I'm not sure if it's stretchy, but if you are talking about what I think you're talking about, then it is more stretchy than stiff(I'm guessing you mean kind of like camera film when describing it as stiff. I've had cheap protectors like that.)

Skip the atFolix stuff, I just got it and applied it. Frankly I'm happy they shipped two, as the product was god awful to apply and the first one I applied had a a couple scratches going down it.... so effectively it was burned...
Here's the Amazon feedback I just left and I'll elaborate more
----
Product not cut to size, with 1-3 mm from the edges of the tablet, gives it a cheap screen feel. The screen is only a single back applicator, meaning you only pull one side to apply. As a lot of other other screens use two backings, one to protect the adhesive and the other to protect the screen itself, you can expect some scratching on the screen itself due to the fact that the screens are shipped side by side and therefore rub and scratch during transit. Micro-scratches are very evident. Not happy with the quality and the somewhat self inflicted damage of the screens.
Finally shipper does not have tracking numbers available.
----
As for the cutting of the plastic, I've personally gotten better cut screens for my phones for less, then the cut of this plastic...
I wouldn't recommend this and given in couple months I'll most likely swap this screen out...

Great, just bought this one a few days ago. Bought one of the HandHeldItems cases too that was labeled as being for the 7+ but was for the original. Having zero luck with accessories for this tablet.......

Ya.... but worse comes to worse, atleast we took one for the team no?
That said I left feedback on the Amazon page, and we'll see if the seller responds no?

I'm getting the impression there are no good choices for this device. Perhaps I'll just get one of the generic "you cut it" protectors and cut it down to size myself.

Zagg has one available at best buy for the tab+ $24.

I miss when i got the original galaxy tab and there were pretty much a wide availability of aftermarket accessories for it. Not so much w/ the Plus. I'm still looking for a clear (non matte/anti-glare) and non-gummy screen protector.
I just got the skinomi finally last night and pulled it off after a minute of application. Just like the Zagg/invisibleshield product it has this grippy/gummy texture i don't like on my touchscreens. That's fine on the body if i don't want to use a case, but really not my preference on the screen.
What i want is a smooth, close to frictionless as possible on the touchscreen that affects the clarity as little as possible. In the past I like the Boxwave Crystals but they don't have any for our device, so I placed a request.

Anyone ever deal with this company? They list a screen protector specifically for our devices.
Looks promising. But then the Titanic looked promising..........

Oh believe me they have it. Their customer service is just plain incompetent and lazy. I got it after a couple of followups.. Oh and when USPS displays on their tracking website "Electronic Shipping Info Received" which indicates Skinomi already printed a shipping label for your item, don't settle and don't wait because for sure they will forget to send it in! Bang their heads until the tracking info starts moving. Then demand for a manager and get a refund for the trouble they've caused you. You then get the item for free. That serves them right because that item is their payment for the aggravation they've cause you. Just send them an email, be irate because I know you already are.

Nice, let me know how you like it! Never used one of these before but they look amazing.

Yes, I had a Kewers on my Z1c last year which looks pretty similar and would recommend in case your pre order falls through, they are also about to release for Z5. Similarly I've seen Deff Japan bring out an exquisite frame recently for the Z5, but the cost factored in with Japanese export cost makes it a little prohibitive. Looks very nice all the same

Ordered a GRAPHITE black. Hopefully it doesn't block signal and hopefully the fingerprint will still work.
I did also get a back matte glass screen protectors.

Just saw my shipping confirmation email, if you guys haven't gotten it yet, check your spam mail--all their emails to me went straight to spam.

Just got mine in today. First time I've ever owned one of these cases and liking the look so far. Just put it on so can't say anything for signal loss.
Got the front glass screen protector, which sadly does not come with a cut out for the front-facing camera.
Volume rocker can be a bit of a struggle and will definitely take me some getting used to but camera button works great and the cut out for the power button/fingerprint sensor is spacious, allowing you to unlock it with little fuss.

Thanks for posting pictures, I might buy one of these for myself. What is the cutout at the top of the device for? Or is that there to save material?

Not sure, actually. Possible material saving, possibly for signal loss. You're guess is as good as mine.

Had the graphite black one... I find it really hard to use the power button and fingerprint scanner... Anyone else?
I'm thinking of returning it.

Not having any trouble getting my fingerprint to register, but the initial power button press does require a little adjustment. Still, not a dealbreaker for me.

received mine today, very impressed - not having issues with fingerprint scanner, I use my right thumb and it's small enough to squidge in between the raised area Not put on tempered yet, still using Sony provided protector

Got mine last night, green on green so I won't post duplicate pictures.
Signal quality has taken a noticeable hit. I am no longer able to make calls or texts in my bedroom whereas before I had low signal that would only occasionally drop. Now I have absolutely nothing unless I stand by the window. TWS has gone up, but I haven't been paying enough attention to what it was before to say how much. I just know it wasn't in the high 30% range like it is now.
I can't decide if I like the green on green look--as you can see from the other pictures, the greens clearly do not match. It's a nice green, just not the same as the phone. Would look sexy on a white phone imo, but I don't think I'm going to be keeping it on mine. I'm either going to go with graphite black or just wait for rubber bumper cases. The signal hit is so much stronger than I anticipated I don't think it's worth it for me.
With that said, I will give it a week or two to see if things settle down. It is a beautiful case, fits very well, and will definitely protect during even a disastrous drop. Fingerprint reader is way easier to access than with my tudia case.
The back screen protector is extremely precisely cut and combined with the bumper it was almost a brainless install. Matte finish is not perfect in some areas but I don't mind. Not great if you have ocd, but I'm fairly particular and it doesn't bother me. It's like they sprayed the finish on too thick in one or two spots around the camera.
Overall I would definitely recommend the case/company, but there's some inherent problems with using metal that can be extremely problematic

After a full day of failed texts, battery drain, dropped signals, and maybe missed calls (who knows?) I can say for certain that I would not recommend this case to anyone. My messages were failing with 2 and 3 bars of service; I walked out of my office at work and got hit with 7 texts yesterday despite having moderate signal the whole time. I am really hoping this is somehow a fluke, but it seems like the aluminum is just too much. Hopefully the rest of you are having a better experience.

I was going to buy one of these, since i'm nearly to buy a Z5, to change my oldie Z1, I have the bumper for the Z1 and have not problem at all, reading these I see it has a lot of problems so is a shame I love this devilcase, anyone with a good review or its just not worth it to buy one of these?

I got mine just two days ago, it is dark green color. The bumper is really really awesome. Perfectly match with my dark green Sumire
About the losing signal issue, I am seemingly facing the same but it is rarely happened. Just once or twice if I am not mistaken. I wonder if it is really because of the bumper case.

Durability of the glass

Hi there.
I've got the problem that I have to decide between two devices. P9 or H8.
The H8 looks, imo, better and feels better. A bit thicker and heavier. That's what I like, until now I use the one M8, there I know what I've got in my hands
The biggest deal breaker so far is the back side. Made of Glas. I hate this kind of coolness, that seems to be more important than durability.
Additional there is in Germany no warranty for the first months to get front or back replaced if broken.
So what's your experience with the phone? Already dropped it out of hand or pocket? Perhaps landing on back or front? Did it survive everything so far, or was a side broken?
Next point is the price, honor 8 399€, P9 519€....
If it would have a metal back.....
I'm looking forward for your answers!
Greetings
Patrick

You can read something from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/screen-strong-t3456686 it gets scratched easilly with micro scratches (As EVERY device with back glass. I know this because i had the xperia Z1 and my friend has S6 edge which got scratched too) and I guess as long as you get a case and dont drop it you should be fine.

Thanks for the link.
Well that means that I will call my market and NOT take it. They shall sell it someone else.
A case and a tempered glass is not the problem.
But a crack from a minor drop, and easy scratches and so on, not thank you. That's not worth a saving of 120 euro....
Damned.

Well if you dont have both hands left you wont drop it. That's up to you but i also prefer to buy phones in classic shops instead of dealing with sending my phone for repair through mail (in case of RMA). This is why i bought Honor 8 instead of OP3.

It's not just because of my left hands
I also got a child with 1,5 years. And believe me, somehow she always gets her hand on my phone. And yes, I am sometimes a little bit left handed. My M8 fell down several times, always in a case, but never something (noticeable) happened. But it's getting sooooo slow, I need to make factory reset at least once a month to get a smooth phone back. That's annoying. And that's the point why I need a new one. Or want a new one. Depends on the point of view
And after I know that I definitely WILL let it fall down sometimes.... I go for some phone without a glass back. Seems to me a bit better for my money
And yes, I ordered the last phones on Amazon. But we hate each other now, so I will buy it at a store, or a bit cheaper at O2. But never ever again Amazon for electric stuff.
But I leave the point of this thread.
The glass seems to be ok, as long as you use a foil on the front and a case and never let it fall down.
Point one and two ist fine. Point three impossible. So I have to choose something else... Really a bit bad, cause I like the optic....

Point to add to this...
I've had my Honor 8 for a few weeks. I've never dropped it or set it face down. I don't put it in a pocket with anything else.
I've got a LOT of scratches on the face already. It's really disappointing. I looked online and to get a tempered screen protector (which looks like garbage because they don't cover the whole screen) I'd have to wait until mid October. I'm sure the screen will be in horrible shape by then.
I love the phone but they cheaped out on an important part.

Did you check out Amazon for screen protectors? I found a few on there BUT the best one in my opinion is the Skinomi FULL BODY wrap. I'm getting that one plus a clear case and that should protect it to a certain degree. I've used the Skinomi full body wraps on my HTC's and they work great at protecting from minor drops and scratches....
Good luck!!

What are you talking about? The phone was advertised as having 3 months warranty on the screen.

Yeah the ones on amazon ship to me in October, no earlier. I'm pretty disappointed because I don't use cases or screen protectors on my phones, but my Nexus 5X was fine for 8 months so far with no scratches. I've had this one less than a month and it's starting to get bad.
