Hi,
I ordered a nilkin glass protector and everything seemed good, but i started experiencing a problem with the proximity sensor. With the glass protector on it would always detect it as being covered, so when i started a call the screen would turn off and wouldn't turn on when i backed away from the ear and i had to press the home button and the end the call.
I entered in the test menu(#*0*#) and the results confirmed that the sensor always "thought" that it was covered. I ended up removing it but i would like to add the extra protection to the glass.
The glass protector is a full front(except a bit on the speaker) glass protector, similar to the one from zagg, but i don't see many people reporting this issue, with any brand( even reviews from the nilkin glass).
Could it be an issue with the screen protector itself or a problem with the sensor?
Is there a workaround for it?
Thanks!

Tried that test with a generic glass screen protector and the prox sensor worked OK.
I don't have a generic film screen protector to test =/ I had the one that came with the phone for a while and it worked fine but that one had a big cutout for the sensors and this one didn't. I'm thinking I got a defective one with the cutout not big enough because from pictures on the website it did had a bigger cutout for the sensors.
I contacted the seller and he is sending me a new one, let's see.
I just didn't think that having that thin glass in front of it would make that much difference, especially since it's transparent and I thought the proximity sensor measured light and that wouldn't make a difference
This is not a normal problem, but yes one that does exist. I haven't handled many personally, the reps in the front just swap them out. I do believe there was one instance where we put multiple ones on the same phone and it kept having issues. No issue without the glass, put the glass on, sensor didn't work.
I guess the actual sensor can't be covered, even if its a layer of thin transparent glass and needs those cutouts free. I only recently realized that(my previous s3 isn't that picky, it has a a thick glass protector on it now and the sensor still works well) but the seller sent me a new one and im hopping the one i got first just had some kind of production problem with the wrong cutouts because from the photos i have seen online from the product (its a nilkin amazing h+ btw) it shows the cutouts on that area and i really need a screen protector.
Has anyone found any screen protectors that fit properly? I've bought and tried two different ones (a tempered glass and a non-tempered glass) and neither of them stick to the sides of the screen. The left and right sides of the screen don't seem to allow the screen protectors to stick properly.

No simple screen protector will fully cover since it has 2.5d glass edges.
You need something like this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/32741252826/32741252826.html

i bought that exact one. it's also too narrow on the sides and not full coverage like they advertise.
New user, so can't post a link, but search Amazon (they're prime too so you'll get them ASAP) for:
Le Pro 3 Screen protector, MicroP(TM) Full Screen 9H Hardness Ultra-thin Tempered Glass Front LCD Screen Protector for LeTV LeEco Le Pro 3 (Gold full coverage)
Just received and applied it to two Gold Le Pro 3's and they fit PERFECTLY edge to edge. They don't bulge or float off of the slightly curved edges and they look completely stock over the entire screen and top/bottom. Not entirely sure about the scratch protection or shock absorption quality yet but I'll check back in and update everyone in a while after these protectors get some use.
UPDATE: Sadly, after a few days use, I can confirm that the above protectors had the edge issues mentioned in another post. These problems are exacerbated by the case fitting so tightly that it actually "pushes" the screen protector and causes the (small amount) of sticky stuff on the sides of the screen protector to lose their grip. This allows a slight bubble of air on the sides of the phone which totally messes up touch. Back to Amazon and I'll just deal with a non-full coverage protector.
UPDATE #2: I attempted to install a 3rd party case on my wife's Pro 3 which had the "full size" protector and it ended up cracking the damn glass because the case forced a corner of the protector up at an angle. Anyone else who considers using these, please be aware of the issue (not sure why anyone would want to use them anyway due to the screen edge issues).
Hello,
I prefer black faced phones, but recently received an almost new white Moto X pure (XT1575) as a gift. An exchange is not viable, as there is no receipt (and it was used a few hours for compatibility testing).
I've seen colored (non-display face area) glass screen protectors for other phones, and thought it would be a great option to turn the face black/darker, but haven't been able to find any for the Moto X pure. Do any such products exist?
I don't know any of those "colored glass screen protectors", but you can use skins from the following companies (might have more, but i only know these):
DBrand
Slickwraps
Stickerboy
Skinomi
If those skin makers don't have you covered get used to white I tried nearly all screen protectors trying to find one that did not halo and none had colored parts. Also pleson is the one I got that stuck to my phone without much of a halo...
The only glass screen protector for this phone like that is from Tranesca which you can find on Amazon. However it will not cover the white face completely (which is obvious when you see the pictures). They have white and black colors but are designed to help the screen protector "blend" and be less noticeable. Another strange caveat: it is a floating glass with the adhering part bring the areas where the white or black is.
I personally use the black one on a black face and it works OK.
Not worth the hassle, but if you must...

This. It's the closest thing to what you're looking for, but it doesn't cover the I/O area at the top of the face of the device, so it'll still obviously be a white phone. Also, the transparent areas for the proximity sensors on the bottom will probably look a little odd too.
That said, I tried the Trancesca screen protector, but ultimately wasn't happy with it because the mask actually cuts off the far edges of the screen, so you may have to turn the phone to see text that is too close to the edge. Also, it just doesn't feel as good as a conventional glass protector that adheres fully to the screen. Tapping one's thumb against it, it just feels plasticky and unsatisfying. For that reason, I've given up on tempered glass protectors altogether for this phone and am completely happy except for the fact that the TPU I'm using has a massive lip that is no longer compensated for. Still, the viewing angles gained are worth the compromise. Just don't scratch your screen.

Thank you for elaborating on this. It took some getting used to this screen protector because of the kind of plastic feel you describe. The blocking of text is pretty rare for me so I just deal with it since I prefer to have my screen protected from scratches. I live near beaches and with sand being common place, it is worth the little bit of hassle. All glass screen protectors I have owned have scratched, but none of my devices' screens have any. The only other glass options either leave noticeable halos or are just shy of the edge of the viewable screen (which leaves a noticeable line in field of vision), which to me are both annoying as I consistently notice them.
I just received my IMAK glass screen protector. Purchased this on AliExpress. Here are some photos of it and how I installed it. I used the 3 stickers to make a hinge after it's positioned correctly. That way I just have to remove the backing and then stick it. I'll just seperate my review into pros and cons.
Pros:
-The screen protector fits nicely. I chose this one because it has the little speaker cut out on top.
-It feels good because it is glass.
-It protects the screen well because it is glass.
Cons:
-It is glass so it has some thickness to it.
-Holds fingerprints more than screen itself
-It has a little orange peel so it's not crystal clear. You can see in the picture of the reflection of the light that it looks a little muddy instead of mirror like.
Overall, it's good for the price, but not perfect. Personally I'm back and forth between glass and film screen protectors. I'll give this a try for a few weeks and then make a final decision.

Those guiding stickers are ingenious, never seen them before and the idea is just so simple and clever!!
Perfect, I know what I have to do when my phone and Nillkin protector arrive.
Thanks for sharing.
That is a lot nicer than the Riffue Tempered Glass screen protector I bought on Amazon. This one is thin and has a good height but is several mm too narrow, it doesn't even cover the LCD display let alone the entire screen/glass.
the one i order covers like half of the screen lmao wtf
just ordered one like yours.
I had one similar too this, but the dust collected over front camera under the glass.
It has some glue on it, does this IMAK one used static?
Here is a link to the one i bought.
I tried many different ones but for me this is the best.
The coating is very good against fingerprints. It fits perfect on the screen.
The sides of the screen are a little bit curved down which is good for the dust.

I agree, this is the best screenprotector i have ever bought. It fits perfect and the coating feels the same as on the original screen :good::good:
Just wanted to echo everyone else about how great the Imak full coverage screen protector is. I went through four different screen protectors so far (unknown brand thin plastic one, MOFI tempered glass, another MOFI tempered glass, and finally the IMAK full coverage)
The thin plastic one came bundled with the phone and would scratch if you so much as raised your voice at it. Placed it on just as a temporary protector while waiting for the others to come from Aliexpress. It just barely covered the display and left about 1.5mm of space on the edges. The phone was accidentally smacked out of my hand once and landed on a sandy floor face down, which I later discovered upon removal of the screen protector had caused a small chip on the screen near the edge, so the protector might have absorbed some of the impact.
The first MOFI tempered glass I got was a "full coverage" one, but it arrived with notches cut out on the bottom where the proximity sensor and front camera are. The worst thing about this one was that it only had adhesive on the edges, so there was a really distracting and noticeable rainbow effect (newton rings) in the middle of the screen.
The second MOFI tempered glass was also full coverage, and this time it didn't have notches at the bottom, just a hole cutout where the proximity sensor is located. The adhesive type was the same as the previous one, edge only, resulting in the newton ring effect. It also mysteriously cracked for no reason.
The one I have on currently is the IMAK full coverage screen protector. Indisputably the best out of all of them, the protector fits exactly over the entire front glass, and instead of cutout holes at the bottom, the chin at the bottom is fully glass, blackened except for where the proximity sensor and front camera are. Full adhesive all throughout means there is no rainbow effect, and the LED notification light is even tinted slightly so that it blends in with the chin, and is invisible until it turns on! The only flaw about this screen protector (yes, there is one) is that the area underneath the front camera is too thin to apply adhesive, so as a result there's a tiny gap between the glass and phone that can let in dust after a while. The dust does not seem to affect the front camera, and I never take selfies anyway, but I have yet to figure out a good way to get the dust out of there.
I have never had a screen protector fit this perfectly, even for phones other than the Mi Mix 2. Most other screen protectors have cutouts for the proximity sensor/front camera/both, but this one blends in so well that it feels like it's not even there.
Does anyone know if this protector has a dot matrix on the screen (tiny dots that reflect)? I purchased a Misha 3D protector from Amazon which looks identical to this, and it's great except for the grid of dots across the screen.

When I tried it there were no dots, just very reflective and had a weird smudge pattern going on which ruined it.
The flossmall one posted elsewhere is so much better.
Lol those kind of screen protectors damn sucks, they are not full glue, so that make lot of reflections. The nillkin (regular tempered glass, full glue, no black borders), is perfect and cover all the display... So why buy this imak piece of ****?

After putting the screen protector on, I take a toothpick and put some glue from a Pritt-stick in the little gap underneath the camera. Not much, just enough to close the gap. When it has dried you can color it with a black whiteboard marker if you want. When you remove the screen protector you can easily rub it off. Works great for me :good:
Thanks!
Anyone tried these?

Looking to buy this phone, any new news on protectors, or is IMAK our best option?
Thanks
Sliding my finger on the display feels a bit weird and I was wondering whether this might be because of the stock screen protector?
Has anyone remove the screen protector and does it change the tactile and visual quality of the display in any way?
As far as I remember when I was using the default screen protector I had no problem at all. In fact I never had problem in touch response or display quality with any of the different screen protectors I used. I used the original one and 3 or 4 different brands so far.
I just wish add that the factory provided screen "protector" hardly provides any protection. It is extremely thin and even a single grain of sand can cut deep enough to scratch the screen underneath.
Second, there is no difference with or without the protector in terms of display quality or touch.
Third, I currently use a third party protector and am not facing any touch issues.
