Any chance of doing a combo set? ie get a front and a back protector for a reduced price? Or is just going to be separate purchases?

One other question, can you comment on why some of the protectors like the nexus 4 back, the iphone krystal and the new S4 Sentinal are all clear but the nexus 4 front and some of the others have a colored border around them? I know the color border covers the adhesive and that the clear ones use a different type of adhesive, but why is one used over the other on specific products. I only ask because I would love to have an all clear front protector for the nexus 4 but no one seemed to go that route and I just wanted to understand why.

Any info is appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
Nice of you to drop by pmoradi2002 and with some good news but I do have questions.

1> Do you have any pics of the nexus with the white border protector? I would love to see what it really looks like before I purchase.

2>Does the kickstart for the iphone sapphire also help the nexus4 or will there be a separate kickstarter for that too?

3> I'm sure you guys have gotten some samples of the back SP so I'm wondering if you have tried to see how the phone will fit a bumper with both the front and rear SP.

Thanks in advance

The iphone kickstarter and kickstarter for android fones are seperate, I thought they were one in the same but I was mistaken

Update #4 May 3rd from there kickstarter page

With only 4 days left we are glad to say that we have been successfully funded!! Any extra funding will go towards future Sapphire projects!

The growth process of the Sapphire has been completed and final tooling is in progress.

As of now we are expecting to begin shipping sometime around the week of May 20th!

Thank you all for your support, couldn't have done it without you guys!!

PS- We will begin a new project shortly on KickStarter for Krystal Sapphire Protectors for the Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4, & Nexus 4!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
If all goes well they will begin shipping out around June.

Once the back protector arrives we will make a combo set. No idea what the price will be but it will be discounted if bought together.

The color border is easier to install (you can mess up and if you get the adhesive dirty you won't see it) and also we are one of the few companies that carry it. Why sell the same clear protector everyone else is selling when we can offer an alternative to expand your options. The Krystal will be all clear since we'll be the first one out with it and it will be more universal allowing it to look good on any color phone.

No pictures, we had to trade in our Nexus 4 for the S4. We are beginning to ship out the white so you should see pictures starting to pop up online.

I've posted pictures of the back protector somewhere in this thread. I believe I included pictures with the bumper on. Perfect fit.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wbroshea:
I apologize. I was not aware that there were others that sold the all clear tempered glass protectors for the Nexus 4. Can someone send me a link or direct me where to find them?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
There are links within this thread. Last we heard was that other companies are advertising it however nobody was shipping.

We also do warn anyone buying from those companies as if their actual design is the same as their pictures, then the glass will interfere with certain important functions of the phone. Unfortunately we cannot tell you what will be interfered as we'd like for those companies to learn on their own how to fix their problems :angel:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] joshnichols189:
So is the white version in stock and shipping?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
Yes they are, I'm still waiting to see a picture before I place my order.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fluffenforliberty:
I hope the Krystal glass protector for our Nexus 4 won't have the black pain on the bottom and top of the glass. Looks much cleaner with a fully transparent
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I don't see the problem with the black borders, the phone has the same black border so it's not like your missing something.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tarroyo:
Are the adhesive problems present on iphone 4S krystal screen protector on the current batch slated for june release? Or was that specifically iphone5???
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SefEXE:
Notification light cut-out.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkoon1218:
Are you saying the problem with black borders is there isn't a notification light cut out? There is, and that helps to align the protector.

[MENTION=780576]pmora[/MENTION]di: Any chance you could let us know about the next batch of protectors that may have the proper adhesive?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SefEXE:
No, I mean it ruins the seamless under the glass look of the light. I owned one for the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Quite honestly have no idea. If I had to guess I would say sometime in June...hopefully.

Keeping an Eye

I just put my Fantom 4 on my Nexus 4 two days ago. I'll be watching that FFC like a hawk. I'll try the can of air, but tbh, when the fix comes out, I'll just contact support and get the new one--I don't want to be blowing canned air at my phone every other day.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I found this video on Youtube today, it shows the white Fantom 4 and I got to say it looks great.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] kurniawan77:
Would be great if we had a special xda nexus 4 coupon code..... :D:D:D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jmallen3:
I agree! It would be a great move from Xgear if we had a special discount for fantom 4 :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
You must be confusing them with Dbrand, this thread doesn't even get much of a visit from Xgear, not even to give news on the back glass SP or something to keep this thread alive or to keep people talking about the product.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mnath:
found another tempered glass one for about $21

i used the coupon code: save25now

marulabs.com/product/nexus-4-tempered-glass-screen-protector/

I hust got mine and it seems decent
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mnath:
heres some pics
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
How does it feel? is the adhesive only on the borders? touch sensitivity?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kCelsius:
Wondering the same...I hesitated to order a tempered glass SP bc of reduced screen sensitivity and a lot of people say they get that rainbow blotch in the middle of the screen and some get a hella lot of dust under the end since it's not contoured to the chamfered edges.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I never had a rainbow effect with the fantom and the only dust I got was on top of the front face camera since manufacturer forgot to put adhesive around that hole. The sensitivity is not a big deal and you get used to it quickly and I'm sure its going to be the same on any other glass SP.Looks like the black one is sold out but they have 2 of the white left.

How long did shipping take? do you know if they are shipping from USA or Canada or where from?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kCelsius:
I just had to snag one....Just ordered one of the Maru Labs tempered glass SP with the coupon...as the other guy said, $21. Didn't want to spend $30+ on one.

Will post pics and review once I get it. Probably start a new thread or go somewhere else to not invade this thread.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dsmforlife92:
Thanks just bought a white one will make a review on YouTube when it comes in
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Azzurri3:
Have been using the Fantom 4 for about a week now and I can say overall I am really pleased with it.

Overall it looks great and feels great too. Without a Google bumper on, the edge of the phone may feel a but rough/sharp because the edges of the Fantom4 is not curved.

Since I have a bumper on, the whole thing feels great anyway. Helps with the dust issue too.

Just 2 other issues.

1. Sensitivity: You can notice a fair bit of sensitivity reduction with the Fantom 4 on but even without a screen protector, Nexus 4 does have sensitivity issues. I applied a fix from the XDA forums and everything is now super !

2. Micro objects below the Fantom4. WHen my Fantom4 arrived, I felt that I wasted my money on this because it was terribly packaged. The inside of the box was dusty. The micro fiber cloth that came with it was useless. It would leave yellow strands of cloth whenever you wiped your screen before application. Just use a different cloth to wipe and stick it on.

Fortunately both these issues can be fixed and I am really really happy with it. Clarity and touch is great. Plus, no more fingerprint smudges !!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mnath:
it feels just like the bare nexus screen, touch sensitivity seems fine, I couldn't tell any difference.

As for dust in the camera hole there is no camera hole there is clear glass covering it, but there are no major effects in the camera quality

Shipping took about 3-4 days and i think it came from somewhere in the u.s
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jmallen3:
I see thats its out of tock in maru labs (http://marulabs.com/product/nexus-4-tempered-glass-screen-protector/) to order that :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dsmforlife92:
Yea I ordered one yesterday and they just sent me a refund crap!!!!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mnath:
i found this, it says somewhere there curved glass i hope it covers the edges

mimeusa.com/product/nexus-4-ghost-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jmallen3:
Thats not available too...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkoon1218:
That is deceptive. I believe they only meant that the edges are beveled.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SefEXE:
Is there also going to be a Kickstarter for the sapphire Nexus 4? I would definitely contribute. I've been going naked with my N4 for a bit now, but suddenly decided I wanted to protect it. Ordered another case(had a few but nothing I wanted to really stick with) that I hope I'll like.

If I just happened to miss the announcement about the sapphire Krystal protector, sorry. I did a search, but I'm not quite awake yet. :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Android 9000:
I really hope the Krystal kickstarter funding starts soon for the nexus 4, I hate my plastic screen protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
anyone use the Maru Labs glass protector and has a review?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] moore808:
I have the maru labs protector. It seems exactly like the reviews of the xgear but I haven't noticed any real dust under the screen. Nothing really to do a new review on.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tarroyo:
I second that, been waiting on this for a minute. XGear should have made the decision to sell android krystal first not iphone
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aichemist:
I am using fantom 4 right now, sensitivity seems to went down, I might try the sensitivity mod/flash etc and see if that helps.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dsmforlife92:
I just installed mine on today its pretty nice a little down on sensitivity but not bad at all. I have a little dust by camera and one piece under screen but it was my fault. The screen looks great just a little less color, but over all very pleased with my purchase and I will make a full review on YouTube after a couple days of use!!

Update spoke too soon, The top right corner from the WiFi signal and a inch down on the edge I have no sensitivity at all, I removed the screen cover and applied again but still the same thing!! Looks like I'm going to have to take it off!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dsmforlife92:
Here is a pic I will get a better pictures when I get home
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
Delete, question answered
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dsmforlife92:
Update again I used a blow dryer and heated the screen and pressed down again and it fixed the issues, we will see if it stays like that!!!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jiayit:
Can I request some help please? Can you guys go to Settings, Developer Options, and enable Pointer Location, and then attempt to tap the screen as lightly as possible. Using a generic crappy screen protector, the lowest PRS I can get is 0.36 with the touch sensitivity mod installed. Would like to know how much the sensitivity is decreased by before I get one.. Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dsmforlife92:
I get 27 with mimeusa glass protector
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jiayit:
Err sorry I was referring to the PRS :o

[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
got a response from marulabs asking when they'll have more glass sp in stock, here is their reply:

Apologies for the delayed response. We have been working this past week to update our design for the Nexus 4 glass. Our new model will release in less than 2 weeks. Black and white will both come back in stock with the promotion.

Maru Labs

so we'll still be able to get a small discount when purchasing.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bgriffler:
Ordered Maru

Just went ahead and ordered mine. Will be returning my Fantom 4 (dust in front of FFC), because they don't have an estimated date when the manufacturing fix will happen.

Won't return it until the Maru one arrives though. I won't use my phone without a protector! Hopefully my RMA number is good until then (1-2 weeks).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fireonice1:
I love the protector but I can't seem to get rid of the oily rainbow effect in the center on the screen. I took the advice and reapplied it, twice, still have the rainbow spot. I did apply properly and made sure to firmly press the edges down. I can move the rainbow spot around by applying pressure around the spot...

Any advice? RMA?

It seemed to almost disappeared. Slightly see it now. I saw other people had this same problem. Is there a fix? I'm positive this is not user error
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dsmforlife92:
I have the same problem and I reapplied twice with no luck!!! :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
With the fantom I never had a rainbow effect at all, maybe yours is a defect so emai them for an RMA
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fireonice1:
=Dsmforlife92;42256551]I have the same problem and I reapplied twice with no luck!!! :(

Sent from my Nexus should xda premium[/QUOTE]

I put on my balistics case the, rugged one. I think its gone!... Makes me think the adhesive isn't as strong as it shoud be. the balistics cases outer shel pushes down on the edges of your screen and or screen protector!

I'll look for it in the sun tommorow. I also don't have the adhesive above my FFC.

It also will not work with the seideo surface case. It pushes the edges of the protector up.

Besides that its hands down the best screen protector I have ever used! Where I the sapphire one!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noobdeagle:
I didn't think the mime protector became available said coming may now it has no date again. :/
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ki01:
wow, i read through the whole 30 pages. kinda strange that they don't have a flawless protector for one of the strongest androids...

anyway, i just got an idea about the whole FFC camera deal, maby someone can put it to a test:

so as i understand there's a little gap between the surface of phone and the protector, and the dust gathers through there? so how about just getting some silicone for gasket making(i don't know how it's called in english but it's generally the same stuff for gaskets or for home application when you need to make a hermetic bond, like for example where bath and tiles connect in the bathroom).

To make it less visible get some that is transparent or black and use a really thin (medical maby?) syringe for application. Just suck it in and spray it slowly. The stuff is globby in nature so it won't run off or anything.

Afterwards, just leave your phone in horizontal position for an hour or so. and that's it. The stuff retains it's rubbery properties so it won't be like a rock under your screen, waiting to crack it open.

oh and on a side note. i wrote to MIME about their N4 protector's availability (can't seem to order from page). still waiting on that.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] blackrabbitklan:
Just got a white fantom 4 and my white nexus. Thought I'd show you guys how it looks since I haven't seen any pics of this yet. Sorry for the poor quality. The edges are almost flush with the silver trim even though it doesn't follow the curve of the screen. It's close enough to make me happy.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
this actually looks pretty nice.. Now.. to try and sell my black n4 so i could get a white n4..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tarroyo:
I received a email from Xgear saying that there Krystal kickstarter for our nexus 4 devices will start sometime in August, Was a a few delays that caused the date to be pushed back further then planned.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jiayit:
Wow august. I think most people will hold back on funding the kick starter since the N5 should be due some time around there.. ±2 months.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tarroyo:
Doubt it, you have a better chance of seeing a release date for moto x before a N5.

Just received an e-mail from Maru Labs:

"Hi! Thank you for your recent order of our Nexus 4 Glass. We are reaching out to you because due to an error in the cut of our glass, our first batch of Nexus 4 glass due to ship today is faulty and therefore unusable.

I received shipping notice too. Was supposed to come today, but USPS decided to be lazy...again.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] teraih:
I've had the white one on for a while with no problem, but today I see a huge rainbow circle in the middle of the screen. Anyone one can suggest what to do?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cheesyFbaby:
do these screen protectors so happen fit with a case such as the Rearth Fusion or any for that matrer?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I got the Maru one to test and used it with an OEM bumper and the sensitivity was severely lacking at the top and bottom parts of the screen. Can anyone attest to the fact that you can use the screen with a bumper on? I searched and found some people said it should work. I only quickly glanced this morning :).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bgriffler:
I can use it with a Noreve case on--screen sensitivity is fine--better than the Fantom 4. BUT, the adhesive is absolutely TERRIBLE. It is literally SLIDING OFF. Will be returning.

EDIT: Sensitivity is significantly reduced at the top aand bottom of the screen, and I'm getting the "rainbow effect" in a spot in the center. Awaiting an RMA.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kj1060:
Anyone else getting "bubbles" along the entirety of both sides of the screen? I have applied two different ones and both of them have this problem... the second one even has some "bubbles" in the middle.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
By popular demand and the fact that we were the only ones carrying it we are planning on bringing in a limited quantity of Fantom 4!

Hasn't been confirmed yet however we are hoping to have some within the next few weeks! :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
man i do hope they bring this back as i struggle to find a store that still ships good tempered glass screenprotectors for a reasonable price and in reasonable time for my nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
You can find others just like the fantom on eBay but they ship from China so it will take a couple of weeks to get to you. Just search "nexus 4 tempered glass protector"
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
I know but it takes more than a freaking month for them to ship to Germany :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Came up with 46 listings, 45 of which are clear glass. The Nexus 4 has curved edges, the clear glass will either give you issues with adhesion or it will not cover the entire screen.

As for the 1 that is black/white, this seems like it is our old supplier selling the OLD DESIGN of our Fantom 4. The old design did not have a cutout for the camera, so you will get lint/dust stuck in there.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
OK I'll wait then
[Nexus 4 Accessories] htcdude486:
...I experienced this first hand with the Xgear Fantom.

It's great at first, such a nice feel to it. After about a month or so the left side started to lift from the curved screen and it got to the point where it was not sticking to a quarter of the screen. Took it off last week unfortunately :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I'm assuming you're referring to the Galaxy Nexus Fantom? We did revise the model, shoot us an email through our support page and I'll see what I can do for you :highfive:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] htcdude486:
It was actually the Nexus 4 Fantom, anyway, I've sent a message via your support! :good:
