I have used this in the past and it works great:

Isn't the screen on the N1 glass?
From the idrops website: "Carefully squeeze one to four drops onto the plastic, polycarbonate, or acrylic surface of your device"
http://www.wirelessground.com/saguaki.html
Has anyone tried this? Does it work?
If you read the end it states "not use on touch screen displays"
I guess i wont risk my baby..

iDrops, and most other scratch removers, are only for plastics... not glass, which is what your N1 screen is. You'll either create microscratches on the screen or remove part of the top coating on the screen.
i used t-cut glass polish on my nexus it got rid of the scratch i got when i stupidly put my phone in the same pocket as my keys
and a chamois leather is great for stubborn finger prints
To be honest, any mild abrasive would probably do. It's not as if the N1 has any anti-reflective coating or anything. Even a simple toothpaste and microfiber cloth would do the trick.
I find toothpaste is great at removing light scratches, won't cost you anything either.

What is a result?
Try PlastX from meguiers. Ived used it and its safe. Try in a corner of the screen first. Be sure its clean. Rub gently with a cotton fiber towel, not a bathroom towel.

Well, I received my XO skin screen protector today that I bought with my 55% off coupon code. But it turns out, they actually sent me the screen protector AND back protector, for the same price of $6. This happen to anyone else? But yeah. Loving it so far. Haven't turned on my phone yet, I did cringe a bit at the amount of application fluid entering the speakers. Hope everything is okay So far, I haven't noticed any orange peel texture on the protectors. They don't have too much friction, so it's not like you're sliding your finger across a piece of rubber. It does repel fingerprints like they claim they do. I think the screen protector IS worth the normal price of $12. So yeah, I give it a big thumbs up.

I got mine too. It's VERY good quality to my surprise. I also bought the XtremeGuards ones and XO is much better in quality. It doesn't have the "orange peel" effect and just feels smoother as your swipe across the screen.
Anyways, you'll love it and good luck!
i've used XO before on my OG Evo4G and it was great! no yellowing or nothing however I'm also considering tempered glass screen protectors like SGP'S GLAS.t... so which one would be better? and why?

I'd say stick with XO. Tempered Glass seems to peel off over time. Plus it's wayyyyy more expensive. But if you have the spare cash then you can give Tempered Glass a shot.

Just got the full body protector using google checkout with code cybermondayftw for about $12 (Originally $22)
whats the difference between case fit and full body? in term of the cuts

I got the full body one and its..... full body lol... jkjk so for the front it covers 99% the whole front glass, and for the back it have some gaps between the camera and the protector, and the speaker and camera. For the case fit I heard that it's smaller in size to leave space for say like bumpers or cases
Just got a front cover in the mail, waiting to see if I can live with the buzzing before I apply it.
Applied mine in the bathroom last night (heard steam from a shower helps prevent dust?).
How long should I leave it? Been about 12 hours now. As the OP said, the only concern is the amount of fluid you get in the speaker.
The fit was perfect, measured right down to the mm. I might due to human error be a tiny bit off, but it's lined up as well as I'll probably get it without being obsessive.
I ordered the full body one before the Nexus 4 was released.. Love the product except my back piece doesnt have the speaker cut out. Contacted them twice and have been told that there should be 2 on my at no cost but we will see
You really don't have to leave the phone off for long. Just really light use for a day to not let it heat unevenly

I just applied mine and left it for an hour. Then I turned my phone on to check my speaker. They're perfectly fine But yeah, I only left it off for 1 hour, and it was already solid on it. But it was probably still drying a bit more.
Mines has dried with some streaks. Best way to describe are thin say 0.5cm horizontal lines, which reflect colours in certain light. Instructions say streaks should go away in 24-48 hours, its been over 24 and they're not budging yet.

I've also noticed where my GF used a stylus earlier there are trace marks of it on the skin. She wasn't applying any real hard pressure... I wouldn't expect such indents to be perminent to I'll keep an eye on them.

Hi all
Amazon UK now have MediaDevil screen protectors for the XZ (front and back sold separately). Just fitted mine, much nicer than the ones that come in the box. Only been on for about 30 mins, but fingerprints actually seem to wipe off these ones! V happy.

did you mean fingerprints are still visible but can be easily wiped?
Yes. They're still there, but nowhere near as bad as with the original ones, and I can wipe them away on my jeans.

I e-mailed mediadevil asking if they were planning on releasing one with oleophobic coating, got this response...
"I'm afraid we're unlikely to release an oleophobic version -- some brands do use this material, however it does not meet our standards for several reasons. First, this material often has a blue tinge, and we only sell protectors that are completely clear. Second, it is much more likely to experience the 'rainbow effect', and third, while it does show fewer fingerprint marks, it has also been our experience that the fingerprint marks that do appear are more difficult to clean.
If you have had a different experience with oleophobic screen protectors, we'd be very interested to hear about it, however at the moment we have yet to find a material that does not have these issues."

I take it the Clarivues are front only. They sound good though from their website. But odd terminology talking about "1 set" but seem to mean "1"

Nope, im using it at the moment, its front and back (x2).. Great price, performs as it sshould sooooo no complaints so far
Ah awesome! They do look good. the front/rear lack of clarity on their wording was odd though. I even read their installation instructions for it and was only talking front.
Did you use that "masking tape" trick to install? Or just really good at putting them on? I'll be trying the masking tape way
Has anyone found any large sets of cheap front and back protectors on eBay?

Nope, just good ole:
1. Clean the screen off (Make sure no dust, lint, etc are on the screen)
2. Don it on the phone and use the cam cutouts as guide.
3. I did get dust and lint after installation, I used clear tape to take off the sp a lil and used another tape to get those lint/dust.
viola..
took about 5-10 mins for me to install perfectly.
Screen protector and water
Hi Guys,
I bought a Krusell Frostcover and had a front screen protector installed today. I don't remember its brand, the shop assistant threw its packaging out. I remember it was sort of blue, and it had a microfiber cloth included...
I never had a protector before and I'd like to know how it reacts to water. I'm not planning to go scuba diving with the phone, but since it's water resistant, it will probably get sometimes. May it affect the film? Loosen it? Or no problem, unless it gets underneath it somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Its fine with a sp, i wash my phone once a week.. And all is well
So I'm not even in 14 days, and I already see lots of tiny scratches on the glass in front of the camera. I can only see them if I look at the camera up to a light, but they're definitely there.
I have a case (spigen) and I'm sure it's not the case causing the camera to be flat against wherever I put it down?
Does anyone else have/see these scratches?
Comparatively I have an almost 1 year old moto x, with no scratches whatsoever.
This doesn't bode well.
I'm going to try and post a picture if I can.

If you read up, the glass covering the camera lens is just glass. Not gorilla glass, just regular glass. I've had this before on a different phone, and after time, the photos get a dullness to them. This is enough for me to return the device.

Make sure you remove the tiny plastic film. I didn't realize there was a film on the flash / HRM until recently. You might not have scratched the actual glass.

I don't doubt it is the manufacturer site, but they have been tagged as a malware site which is not really all that easy to do. It means that when visiting their site malwarebytes found them providing malware content. This is bad for their business and they should work to get that fixed.
But, this is not for Camera lens protection. So it is off topic anyway.
What are your thoughts on this glass?

Seems the same as Whitestone with a few exceptions. I do like that the camera cutout isn't there but I feel like Whitestone is easier to install with the kits they provide.
Might be a good idea to install that way! Thanks for the share. I ordered something similar from AliExpress, gonna take forever to get here and has some bad and good news for the fingerprint sensor
Im not going to blow money on these gimmicks. Tempered glass has soo many advantages too but the reality is- there is no great solution for the curved screen except a wet install and good case+ extreme care like not walking and using phone, not holding phone while getting out of car in gravel driveway, etc.

i think the front facing camera is optimised as is, adding extra glass will affect that.

FINALLY GOT MY GLASS TODAY AND IT WORKS!!
I tried first with standard way and fingerprint didn't work. Second try followed that video the mods took down and it worked perfectly!! I didn't even re-register my fingers. It's a little less accurate but I'd rather not have a cracked screen when i get careless over the next 3 years I own this phone.

I'm using it. My only issue with the glass in this thread is the absence of the camera cutout. I know before I had stated it seemed nice but my Whitestone has lifted up around the top while still actually being adhered to the phone. If I didn't have the cutouts then my front camera would be blurry. I assume this company would use similar glue and would end up with the same results later on.
get an insurance for it, and save money on your case!!!!
