Best static grip screen protector?

Can someone recommend a static grip screen protector, please? I don't like the idea of the ones that need to be squeegeed on there, but I'm hoping there are some good alternatives.
Thanks,

Any experience with any of the other clarivue screen protectors (anti glare, mirror, or privacy)? If so, what were your impressions of them?

i just use the gorilla glass, dont like the feel of the screen with a protector on. Also, with this nice plastic case i got from best buy, the phone can never land on the screen if dropped.

Are you referring to the platinum (rebranded seidio) case?

I havent used any of those other ones, i've read good things about anti glare and ultra clear. but havent heard anything positive or negative about the others.
also, i have used a generic mirror screen on my hero before, makes the phone look nice when its off, however horrible to use in daylight and also screen brightness has to be all the way up so kills battery

I'd like to do this too, I absolutely love the feel and look of the phone without a screen protector. But I am too worried about scratches. I keep hearing people say things like it's Gorilla Glass and can't scratch. I watched the videos where people attempt to scratch the Gorilla Glass screen on purpose and can't. But every once in a while I read a comment from someone that says they got a scratch on their Gorilla Glass screen and they have no idea how. I'm not sure what to think.

Got my clarivue today, installed easy, can barely tell its there and doesn't mess with capacitive buttons on bottom.

Is gorilla glass what the screen is made of? 'Cuz I scratched mine. :-( My accessories were in the mail but I went out on a My Tracks expedition on a local hiking trail over the long weekend (couldn't resist! I've never had GPS on a phone) and I dropped my phone and it got scratched on what must've been a pebble in the otherwise softish dirt trail.
More accurately, my phone fell out of my pocket when I jumped thinking a spider landed on my head.

Received my clarivue screen protectors in the mail today and I am less than impressed with them.

It's not the quality of the screen protector itself that I have problem with. It is completely clear (as described) and has a nice feel to the touch. Not the same silky smoothness as glass obviously, but not a rubbery feel to it either.
The overall cut and fitment of the screen protector is my biggest problem with it. Clarivue says that all their screen protectors are cut slightly small (which is fine) but the design for the epic isn't centered properly. If you align the top correctly (so that the front facing camera and sensors are exposed) you will find that the entire screen protector favors the right hand side of the phone. This leaves you with a noticeable gap on the left side and practically no gap on the right side.
I also encountered some installation issues since the second tab did not want to separate from the screen protector. I wouldn't hold that against clarivue however, but in my case I had to physically separate them which caused the corner to not adhere to the screen properly.
I'm going to contact clarivue about these issues on monday and see what they have to say about it. I've heard good things about seidio's ultimate screen guard and will mostly like order a pair of them when they become available.

I had one custom fitted at a mall near me for 9 dollars. I really cant tell its there and it add to the feel of the screen (less greasy/finger marks).

i have a tiny scratch and have no idea what it's from. I assume it was a rivet on my jeans or some****, kinda disappointed since I've checked out people trying to scratch the screen but couldn't

Matte screen protector -> bad

Hi all, just a quick post to let you guys know my experience with a matte screen protector i bought.
The reason i bought this one was because of the fast and free 2-day delivery just because i needed one. I got 5 very small scratches on the curved side of my screen and i was surprised about how fast it scratched compared to my S2 which has been in the same pockets.
So the main issue with this screen protector is that the screen got a bit blurry but worst of all: i see some kind of buzz going all over my screen, like when its wet. I can see red, blue and green pixels, mainly red and green though, only blue when i look carefully.
Maybe its because its a bad and cheap screen protector or because of the high density of pixels on the note 4, i dont really care as it is only a temporary screen protector but its very very very annoying.

I've tried to capture a photo but it was not visible so i cant show it to you guys.

The problems you described were actually the characteristics of a Matte Screen Protector.. I can't technically explain it to you as I dont know how it is made, but thats how it is.

Yeah I was just gonna say, all matte screen protectors look like that. Nothing new here lol.

I using one now and ordered the anker ones should be here soon. The benefits of no fingerprints and no reflection are good.

Something tells me "smartphonehoesjes.nl" isn't going to be the best of all websites to buy a screen protector (even though it means cover in Dutch), maybe that's just me. Get a tempered glass screen protector, it's worked great for me. I have MIME Ghost Glass. Not cheap though.

That's simply how matte screen protectors work. You have not received a defective product.

Have you tried a glass screen protector? What were your results?

Like many of you out there, I have been in the search for the perfect glass screen protector. I've tried two brands of glass screen protector, and two brands of soft screen protectors but I have not been happy with any yet. I've tried the JETech brand and also this other brand but both had halos on my white S6. I've also tried the Skinomi (wet-app, felt rubbery and was not self-healing) and also the amFilm (halo effect on the front but the back was nice compared to the Spigen back protector as it was longer and had better coverage).
What I want to figure out is if there are any relation to the color of the phone to the likeliness of halo effect because from the photos that I've seen on xda, it seems that more users with the black phones have had better luck with the halo effect issue.
Please vote and reply which which brand(s) you have tried and what was the outcome. Thanks.

Black & White S6's with No Halo using the Zagg Glass on both.

Not only did it work like a charm but they have lifetime warranty. I've already had mine replaced one. Customer for life.

I have tried the amfilm and got halo on both sides, anybody tried nillkin? Not the one that is colored on sides. Thanks

Yeah I love their service. I've got one but I messed up the install and another one is on its way. Has some halo on this one buy as it's not on right I can't judge yet.

Zagg Glass on my S6 with zero haloing. I got it installed at a Zagg Kiosk so I made sure it was perfectly installed.

I have a Zagg also. I've had too many issues with cheap glass protectors, and just don't want the trouble.

I got this one last month. http://bit.ly/1KlN00v
and not for long, my phone fell from the table. Guess what happened? Screen just hit the corner of the dining chair. What surprised me was that the screen protector has many cracks but the phone was ok. After this, I got a new one. haha

This poll really should be broken down further. It's easy to get no halo if your glass screen protector doesn't cover the whole front of the phone. Those truncated protectors should never have halo. It's only the ones that try to cover edge-to-edge that should potentially have the halo.

That's the problem, I've only tried the truncated protectors and both still had halo issues. The purpose of this poll was to try and figure out if certain colored phones were more prone to the halo effect issue (maybe the screens had more curvature than others). I had seen many photos and it seemed (to me, at least) that the black phones had fewer halo issues.

Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Just a quick question for anyone. I am looking for a tempered glass screen protector that actually fits. The 3 that I have ordered do not cover the screen completely. If anyone uses one that actually covers the display edge to edge could you please tell me what brand. Thanks all

I have been using a Moshi iVisor edge-to-edge for about 4 months and have had no problems with it. I have used it in conjunction with a UAG case and it fits perfectly. Note that it only has adhesive around the edges, and not on the screen itself. Others have reported the edges lifting and allowing dust in over time, but I have not yet experienced this (it is supposed to be fully washable and reusable, should this happen). Also it is one of those protectors with the 'grid of dots' on the glass (something to do with the way the glass is hardened, or touch sensitivity or something). This is only visible in direct sunlight when the screen is off, and I never really notice it.

There are other edge-to-edge protectors, if you check out this thread (especially toward the end) you'll find others who have used them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/tempered-glass-screen-protectors-t2878038
I'm thinking particularly of this one, which is similar to the Moshi:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tech-Armor-Samsung-Ballistic-Protector/dp/B00STN7SQY
Both edge-to-edge and those with a gap around have their pluses and minuses - but I, for one, can't stand the gap around the screen protector that the non-edge-to-edge protectors have, sorry but I think it looks dreadful. :/

Why start a new thread? Question has been covered so many times in the actual tempered glass thread.

Thanks for your reply. I started the thread because I just got this device and when I attempted to check accessories it would loop me back to a blank page. This is the main reason I usually stick to one thread on XDA. People that just sit and wait to jump on someone for a simple question without bothering to send a PM but would rather say what they think they need to for everyone to see...so they can get a thumbs up. I really appreciate your reply . You would fit in well with the thread Im always on...respectful..fun..all around good time...so heres a ?up for you for acting like an adult. Im not new to this game...I just understand the respectful way to go about something?
FirekatV19N3..(FireGearV20)

So I got my second nuglas from eBay. Just like my first one it's cut small. But IMO it's the best for phone's that can't get rid of the halo. It has a very good oleophobic screen and very smooth. Mine has very little halo on sides and around home button. It still looks great with the minimal halo I can deal with.

[Q] Screen Protector - Yay or Nay

Will you be using any screen protectors? I got 2 for free so will try it, will be tricky with air bubbles and dust.

The Mi4C uses Concore glass which is a product of Gorilla Glass but has the LCD and Digitizer fused together. That means if the glass even slightly cracks you'll have to replace the entire LCD/Digitizer assembly. Even though the Mi4C has a good repairability score, it might be difficult or expensive to get parts as this a phone for the Chinese market only. Using some form of screen protection is essential.
PS: Just google a few guides on how to apply a screen protector properly, I've done so many times without any dust or bubbles creeping in.

Thanks, I'll definitely use one

Make sure to get the tempered glass variety, as the plastic-based ones are often grippy (making swipes more difficult as your finger kind of sticks to the screen) and more reflective (more difficult to see in the sun), as well as less transparent (screen seems dimmer, and sometimes has artifacts). Tempered glass screen protectors are more expensive than the plastic-based ones and sell for about $5. That said, I've seen suppliers offering the display now, they sell for about $60.

Ye I have a tempered glass one, always used a plastic on my old phones, which is much slimmer but as you say, you can feel the difference :good:

I hear the standard mi4c screen doesnt have such a great olephobic coating, so its a fingerprint magnet. can anyone confirm or deny this statement? sounds like the best screen protector is a tempered glass with good olephobic coating. can anyone recommend a good one?

I applied the standard screen protector that came for free and have one bubble but its on the bezel so I can live with that. Only problem is it attracts a lot of fingerprints

Yep, I confirm. No or poor oleophobic coating, it is a real fingerprint magnet
I don't use a screen protector, not even the free platic one that came with the phone... just don't like them.

Nillkin have a tempered glass screen protector for the Mi4i/4c, called NILLKIN Amazing H. I've heard they're one of the better ones, since Nillkin is also a big brand when it comes to cases and screen protectors.
You can find it on AliExpress for 7-10 dollar. It's probably available at other places as well.

I see nillkin also has an Amazing H+ version.. www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=5584&page=1

Just comparing the product pages, The H is 0.33m and H+ is 0.3mm. H+ looks to have 2.5D edging craft, whatever that is.

I only use nillkin for all my phones. They fit great and applying them is very easy, because they pack a lot of extras in the box (like wet and dry wipes to clean your screen, tape to remove dust particles, microfibre cloth...). I always need just about 2 minutes to apply them without any bubbles or dust. If there is a dust particle left after applying, just lift the screen protector carefully and use the tape to remove the dust

i found that Edge Control goes crazy when the phone is connected to the PSU and charging. After some minutes of using the Edge controls suddenly do the "back" function all over again. This happens when i just hold the phone in the left hand (not tapping with the fingers - just holding it on both sides in one hand). Can you confirm this? I am using latest sMIUI 5.11.5 (clean installed). If i unplug the typ c connector - all goes back to normal within one minute.
