Hi,
can you recommend my any screen protector, which can hide scratches to the screen? I have read it about the UV-hardened (with liquid) protectors. I have tried regular glass from AhaSky which was supposed to hide scratches as well - but it doesn't. Should I bit the bullet and go with Dome?
Thanks for any tips

Does using a double screen protector where the inner layer is a film protector and the outer is a tempered glass screen protector is SAFE and would not cause decrease in sensitivity and screen visibility problem? Anyone here tried it?

With the gorilla glass on u won't need any screen protectors. I never put any of those on mine. Not even a single scratch yet. And putting them does considerably decrease touch sensitivity and the colours don't look cool!
Not a big fan either of those things. If you have a decent casing for your phone and you handle it with some care you don't need those things.
Hi guys,
I saw several topics relative to screen protectors but I'm a bit lost when it comes to choose a good screen protector that fit my requirements..
Right now, I am using the screen protector (and back protector) delivered with the phone (not talking about the anti-shatter film), but I got recently an impact/scratches on the screen and I'd like to change the screen protector to something at least as good as the original sony screen protector.
I was quite interested in buying a tempered glass screen protector as it is highly resistant to scratches and has usually oleophobic coating, but I heard that it is very fragile and, once applied, the phone can't fit anymore in the sony charging dock (which is really a shame). But I'd like to have a confirmation from you guys regarding this?
Otherwise, can you please give me advice about a great plastic screen protector, easy to apply and efficient against scratches and fingerprints (oleophobic coating if it exists for plastic screen protector)?
I saw suggestions about the XtremeGuard one, is that really worth the price? What I don't like is you need water to install it onto the screen (that's why the HI-DEF one of this manufacturer looks better as you don't need water), also there's no hole for the proximity sensor, I heard that's sometimes a problem?
Thanks in advance for your advices!
Hi Guys,
I currently own a note i717 and unfortunately due to stupidity I scratched the screen (without a screen protector). The scratches are small and pixelated, and I am wondering if a matte anti-glare screen protector will cover the scratches better than a clear screen protector? How about the privacy screen protectors? Thank you very much
I see this one on Amazon from Mocolo and it looks like it does? But its shipped from China...
Most of the glass screen protectors leave about 1-2mm of space from the screen to the edge but it's due to the rounded edges on the screen. Another issue that has been ongoing is that the glass screen protectors are not sitting well and there is a "Halo" effect around the edges of the screen on the screen protector.
So far the Skinomi, Phantom Skins style screen protectors sit the best but some have had minor issues with cases.
I just ordered the Mocolo screen protectors yesterday and I'm hoping they don't give the Halo effect.

"Halo effect" means not cut short enough.

Sort of, the halo effect can be related to the screen protector not being cut short enough (or too long) where the screen bevel begins and the adhesive does not adhere to the outside edges of the screen protector.
And/Or
The adhesive does not adhere to the outside edges of the screen protector causing an unsightly "halo effect" where there is a unsightly discoloration/visual issue.
It is easy enough to see on the multiple threads and or can be Google searched for more pictures or a better idea of what it looks like.

will be interested in how that Mocolo works out
Check out "Brotect" protectors. They do tempered glass, "air glass" and normal plastic ones, all clipped short of the curve and therefore case friendly.
Used one if their protectors on a previous phone and seemed fine. I have the airglass one for the ph-1 here but not fitted it yet
Skinomi just released one. I have their full coverage one and it is fantastic.
Update: forget about the Mocolo TGSP, it's cut too short on the sides. So much so I didn't even bother putting it on. I'm sure there won't be a Halo but it leaves about .5mm on either side when I did a test fit.
I've now purchased the lightning knight, Orzero 3rd gen (I think, this is the one with full adhesive but rounded black border, and Mocolo TGSP. Fitment wise the lightning knight (LK) fits the best but has Halo. The Orzero is wider than the LK but from what I've seen in the reviews the Halo is horrible. I'd also assume that it would be bad as the Orzero goes to where the screen starts to round at the edge, also it might be an issue with cases.
You can see the Mocolo on Amazon and the fitment issues in the purchaser gallery.
I have the mocolo in clear (not black) and unfortunately halo effect is pretty bad, just like the rest. Quite ugly so ripped it off and currently going without anything.
I gave up.
I'm going to use the approach of others with a liquid UV adhesive and a screen protector with no glue.
I've bought a few from Xtreme guard and they fit perfectly with any case!! Plus you can get em dirt cheap by searching for promo codes. Got mine for .99 each!!!
What's the point of buying a tempered glass screen protector for the G5 when it already comes with Gorilla Glass? That wouldn't be considered overkill?
I figured the a simple plastic one would do the trick, just for fingerprints, smudging, etc.
Anyone have any recommendations on a screen protector brand? I've been reading some reviews about how some.of the protectors do t account for the G5's curved screen.
Thanks.
It does seem redundant, but Gorilla Glass is not 100% scratch and crack proof. A glass screen protector is a small price to pay (literally) for added protection versus replacing the screen itself. I prefer the smoother feel of glass over plastic, so I go with glass.
The G5's curved screen at the top isn't the issue. The screen is not truly flat in all areas. On my G5 there is a gap between the screen and glass protector on the following areas: center-top (near ear piece), both bottom corners. This is well documented in the G5 screen protector thread. A plastic screen protector flexes enough to hide these gaps.

Is "G5 screen protector" the name of the thread?
Are those gaps annoying? So the plastic ones hide the gaps, eh? Is that the one you're using, but even though it's hidden you're still aware of it's presence? Do you have a recommendation on a good one that isn't too expensive?
The case I bought kinda sucks. The volume down button is incorrectly placed and seems like it just missed the down press.. it basically just increases the volume. Any suggestion on a slim profile case that lines up with all the buttons correctly? I think I might just go with one of the LG ones; I assume their own cases would line up perfectly.
