XGear replied 6 minutes ago &#8207 [MENTION=316804]XGear[/MENTION]Live 6m

We DO have a limited quantity in, currently we are looking at a few weeks out

:highfive:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
VERY LIMITED quantity of WHITE Fantom 4 is now AVAILABLE!

We will have more in as well as some Black within the next month :good:

Fantom 4 for Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
Gonna wait for the black version then :victory:

Edit: apparently xgearlive transformed into xgearplanet. No Fantom 4 available there.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
Bump.

Will the black version ever drop? My SP is currently broken and I need a new one
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Having a lot of problems for some reason trying to get the Black in. Something at the factory level. Honestly as of now no clue when/if they will come in :mad:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ggeorgieev:
Great Protector! Satisfied!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Silverpoint94:
Hi was wondering if this lifts off at the sides? And is it usable with the ringke fusion case?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Evergreen74:
I am also interested in this matter. My girlfriend's Nexus 4 has Ringke Fusion case and I wanted to get her a tempered glass protector... do you think it will work together with the case?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] GlebVoronin:
any restock info?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Fantom 4 BLACK & WHITE are now back in stock!

It does not hang off the edges of the screen, the glass is an exact fit to the screen so you shouldn't have any issues using it with a Ringke case! IF you do order it and find it does not fit with your case [check this before removing protective adhesive!] then we will gladly issue a full refund!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
Great! Finally placed my order for black fantom 4.

When it arrives i will possibly share some pictures of the Fantom 4 / Ringke Fusion case combination :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Vital Phone Case:
doesn't look like theres a cutout for the light sensor
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
My Fantom 4 arrived today. Pics follow later
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
Just noticed that I've got the old model :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
You've actually received the 3rd revision, it is the same as the original however the adhesive was improved :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
Ok cool then :highfive:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
So how does it fit with the fusion case? Pics?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
It does fit quite good, but I sometimes feel like theres pressure on the bottom left part oft the phone. Apart from that it fits great. I´m trying to post some pics later today, got no camera right now.

So now here are the pics
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Could you please clarify what you mean by "pressure on the bottom left"? Did you try removing and re installing?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
The SP lifts a tiny bit sometimes with the Fusion case on. When I remove the case everything is fine and it looks like it fits well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] f_5_V_e_R:
does anyone here use the official bumper for nexus 4? how does it go with fantom gear?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] qwerty12601:
Just received mine, newest revision. However test fitting it it doesn't fit with the case I'm using. If anyone's interested I'll let it go for 20+ship. Its the black 3rd revision
[Nexus 4 Accessories] munspartan:
I am sure its probably a little late but I am interested if its still available.

[MENTION=4418784]pmoradi2002[/MENTION]

Does the latest version have adhesive on all the screen, or just the top/bottom like the old ones did? I'd like a quality tempered glass screen protector for my Nexus 4, but the problem is I work in a pizza place and make hundreds of pizzas a day, so I'm literally living flour that comes home with me and migrates everywhere. So if there's a gap in the adhesive, specs of flour will definitely get in there.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] vitalik6243:
post
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ilovewindowsphone:
adhesive is only at the black borders of the protector.

mine scattered when i dropped my phone but at least i dont have to buy a new screen so i got that going for me - i guess
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Planterz:
Well, that's the point of these protectors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Pheno.menon:
Sweet. Hopefully this will be a nicer fit than the gnex one (that one had lift problems due to curved screen).

Transmission sent from my Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dwd3885:
this looks cool. Any chance for one on the back? Or would that not be a good idea? Thinking is, if I get a WHITE one on the front, the back not being white would be a bit weird.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quahog_convo:
Yeah, I would LOVE to have protectors for the front and back.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] housry23:
Actually, for the Gnex, many people reported dropping their phones and only the glass screen protector broke instead of the glass on the phone. You won't get that from a dry or wet apply protector most likely. I dropped my sgs2 with a Zagg on it and the screen broke. It's much easier to replace a $30 screen protector than a $350 phone.

Also, I wanted to point out that on the Gnex this glass protector intensified the touch sensitivity problems found in Jellybean on the the Gnex. THere have been touch sensitivity problems reported on this phone as well. The difference is, on the Gnex, the screen was curved and on this it is not. The curved glass also created a problem on the gnex with not getting it installed correctly and it would leave a rainbow affect in the center of the screen. Most of these problems could have been avoided though because people weren't installing them properly. These are not like screen protectors that you are used to. They are easier to install, but you must make sure you press hard enough to make a seal, because the clear part doesn't have any adhesive(obviously), so if the seal is not created properly it leaves a gap between the glass and the protector. This is the reason for many of the gnex peoples problems. THey were not pressing the protector on hard enough and it caused sensitivity issues and the rainbow effect.

The great thing is, the company has great customer service. I had screen sensitivity problems with mine on the gnex and I sent them one email and they sent me a brand new one. No questions asked. They will not replace one that cracked because there is no proof that it wasn't user error on that, so don't press too hard when installing it.

After all that, I know this won't deter most of you, but I would wait until preorders ship and all problems with this have been reported and fixed. Yeah, if you have a problem they'll most likely fix it and make it right, but I'd rather just wait until they get it right to order. There's no doubt I'll get this, but I'll wait until all problems have been worked out and I can by without fear of getting early production mistakes.

Check out the job they done with the Galaxy Nexus on youtube

Keyword: Galaxy Nexus Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Very very sexy!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ricey:
I'm hoping this wont have the same proximity issues the earlier revisions for the GS3 had for the Xgear Spectre. The GS3 had different types of proximity sensors, one with max supported proximity of 5cm and the other 8cm according to the Proximity Sensor app. The one with 5cm could use any of the revisions of the protector without issues but those with the 8cm would have issues with the sensor. It took them 3 revisions and I'm not sure if the issue has been completely fixed yet. They didn't want to make cutouts because they wanted full protection, which is admirable. Someone in the forum suggested making the clear area for the proximity issue larger would probably fix the issue but who knows.

I do enjoy the Spectre on my GS3 and was lucky to have the 5cm sensor. Their service seems good too, as they let those who have earlier revisions email them for free replacements. I'm just hoping we won't see so many revisions again and they can get it right on the first try.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Treatcon:
I have one on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7, love it!! So much better than the other wet or dry applications. Pre-ordered 3 as well for the Nexus 4's I'll be advertising on eBay when they come in.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ponts:
Wow $22 shipping is cheapest option to Canada!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SovereigN7:
Yeap, this right here ruined it. Looks like no more fantom for me. One would think a cheaper USPS shipping would be a max of $8 letter with stuffed hard cardboard to avoid bending of the letter.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quahog_convo:
I checked with their support to ask about the possibility of a rear protector, too. They said they're working on it, but unsure if it'll go into production.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Shark87:
I've been looking for a screen protector, although not so much for protection, but more for an oil resistant surface. This looks neat and after the problems reported with SPG's protectors I think I'll wait for this one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] darkamikaze:
I'm gonna keep an eye on this.. looks awesome
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
Have you tried the phone yet? I've found it to be already be fingerprint resistant.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chrono_Tata:
The fingerprint resistant coating will wear off eventually (the same thing happened with my Galaxy Nexus) so it's good to have this protector to put on when it eventually goes.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Shark87:
Yeah. For the first few days it seemed like that, but eventually it just started to smudge. Even after a thorough wipe down the screen got smudged within a few hours.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
Mine is fine 2 weeks later, haven't had to take a microfiber to it anyway, I just occasionally wipe the screen with the edge of my palm after washing/drying my hands and it makes it like new. I just can't bring myself to put a screen protector on, of any kind, because I'm worried that nothing out there will be as slick as the stock surface.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nakunz:
My only real question is: Black or White?

I just pre-ordered one so I'll report back when I get it :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quahog_convo:
I wonder if the protector would still work with the Official Bumper or not. Guess I can shoot them an email.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sert89:
my biggest concern is if they did the edges curved or will it just stick and you will feel the edges of the screen protector? If they make it curved i will defo buy it!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Xanderwufu:
These are REALLY expensive :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
I know a few people who paid basically the same price for crappy screen protectors... these were on sale for black Friday, I think it's worth it but we'll see.

I hope the Diztronic case can accomodate this screen protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FallN:
I'm very interested in getting one (and a glass back protector) but I'm concerned that it doesn't cover the curved edges of the screen so I'll wait for reviews to come in first before buying...

This I want to know

and also anyone know if this has been sent to any reviewers yet?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SOLDIER [X]:
Waiting for reviews before I order this. Hopefully it does well and works with the bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] logic0verflow:
Waiting for edge pictures with this on the Nexus 4, all the other glass protectors for the S3 come up pretty short and the Xgear reaches out the furthest from what I've seen.

Hello. I was just wondering if you clarify something for me on shipping status. I preordered the Fantom 4 back in December based on the statement that orders would start shipping today (January 17), as stated in the product description at the time. Now I look under the product description and it says it will be back in stock late February. Is the late February timeline only for new orders, or will my preorder ship relatively soon as was originally stated? Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

XXXX,

Thank you for contacting us, due to technical issues all Fantom 4 orders will be canceled and refunded. You should receive an email today about this.

Thank You,

I think it's better than them releasing a bad quality protector that could damage your phone or make you think poorly of them. I was really happy with the one I owned for my GNex.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] theickleone:
Damn, I was wondering why I couldn't find any reviews! I really hope that they are able to release it soon as I'm getting annoyed at my SPG ultra clear. It has a horrible feeling when I try to scroll from the left or right edges of the screen :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chrono_Tata:
The website now shows an ETA of around late February. I'm taking that with a grain of salt though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] vvtc:
http://www.clarivue.com/lg-google-nexus-4-hd-glass-screen-protector-cover.html

ETA of Feb 7th and is currently $29.99 with coupon until Feb 15th.

Also, this seems to be completely clear instead of with a black border (which is much better in my opinion).

[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I really hope they've got everything worked out and that is going to be a great SP, I ordered the black one but now I'm thinking I should have gotten the white one to have a more unique look.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ectodroid:
Looking forward to some user reviews on this.

The Galaxy Nexus version was unfortunantly crap. Huge touch screen sensitivity issues.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] scottx .:
Really? That makes me think this one will be just as bad.

They say they're shipping them this month, in a couple weeks.

Can't wait for a couple reviews here on xda. I want one but I'm not taking the first plunge :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SefEXE:
I didn't have any touchscreen sensitivity issues with my GNex version.

My mom uses the phone now and I haven't heard any complaints, but then again everyone's experience is different.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
Fantom4 page now says shipping will start on week of march 18, when I placed my order it said week of march 11.

EDIT: Here is the reply I received when I asked about the change in shipping date.

Thank you for contacting us, our shipment of Fantom 4 has been held in customs and we have been told that we should receive our shipment in next week. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Preorders being refunded...

I've had a preorder for two Fantom 4s in since they were first available.

When they had the first delay, I told them "please keep my order active, I don't mind waiting".

due to a production delay, we decided to provide an immediate refund. Please

confirm your PayPal email address for refund is xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.

A new screen protector will be available in mid-April for the Fantom 4 which

provides protection for both front and back of the phone.

Again, we apologize for the delay and inconvenience; please contact our

support team if you have any questions.

Got my shipping number
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pandeus:
so i ordered one, since i had one on my sgh-i777 and loved it. once i get it ill tell you guys how it fits with the diztronic tpu case, seeing as thats the one ive got. i may just do a video review and post it so you guys can really see how it interacts with cases and sensitivity and all that. so in a week or so, someone send me a pm to remind me to review.

I'm glad I canceled back in January.

Sorry to hear ya'll still waiting for this.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] scandalousk:
I've been quietly following this thread... I'm actually interested to see if it covers the curved part of the glass as well. Hopefully somebody will post a review or post pictures when they get their hands on one and perhaps comment on it as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
So they are now shipping? its in stock?

Edit: I decided to order it again, I'll post some pics when and if I receive it. Also the code posted by billbradford on page 7 worked for my order so I received 25% off which payed for my shipping.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sMtt:
Anyone here used this before? I'm thinking to order one but didn't use anything near to this. I like glass oem feeling in my screen. Would it worth for 40 dollars?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ctbear:
MIne was shipped too, should be getting it towards the end of the week.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ectodroid:
Mine shipped today, tho it will take 2 weeks or so to ship here.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Treatcon:
I ordered two and both shipped on 2 April.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thacounty:
I want to know what sensitivity is like since the adhesive is only around the sides. Can someone let me know when they receive theirs if they have to press harder to register a touch at any time? On my S3 it was terrible sometimes and sometimes you didn't notice it. I don't want to deal with a non responsive touchscreen.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ctbear:
Received mine today. It is an exact fit to the front glass of the phone - and I mean EXACT fit, so no gap at all along all 4 sides. That is awesome for the top and bottom edges, but for the left and right sides, since the glass protector is not curved it doesn't touch the curved part of the front glass on the phone. You can tell the left and right edges of the protector are just hanging above the curved edges. It doesn't stick out a lot though (maybe like half a millimeter), so I will see if it catches a lot of dust after a while.

The edge of the protector isn't too smooth to the touch, but I don't see it hurting my fingers in any way.

In terms of touch sensitivity, I can't feel any difference compared to naked screen, so that's a big plus. And of course the surface is very smooth which is a huge improvement over the Spigen ultra clear film.

Overall I would give it a 8/10, -1 point for the left/right edges sticking out a bit and -1 for the price - don't think it's worth $35 for what it is. But then again I paid $22.5+shipping so it's not too bad.

EDIT:

Spoke too soon, the touch sensitivity does get affected, especially when there is some oil on the surface. I would say it's about 90% of naked glass sensitivity overall.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] billbradford:
Got the three that I ordered (I have two N4s, and then one for a spare) in today finally. Went on perfect, is an exact fit, and so far looks to be just as good as the one I had on my Galaxy Nexus (which I never had any problems with).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] psxindo:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] rizzxx7:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:

I will have some pictures of it on my phone in a couple of hours. I'm on the road right now but anxious to get home and get it put on.

Edit: So I put it on and it looks horrible. Fits very well but there is something wrong with it. Half of the glass kind of looks like there is a foggy smudge on it. I took it off to clean the inside of it but it doesn't wipe off. I'm so disappointed. :( I will ask for a replacement. Before I took the protectors off of it my girlfriend had said it looks dirty. I figured it was just the outside of it that might have been dirty. But dirty isn't the problem.

I'm so jealous right now. :(

[Nexus 4 Accessories] thacounty:
How about the sensitivity issue?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
You shouldn't be having any major sensitivity issues, you will notice a slight decrease (will have to press a little harder) however it shouldn't be much different than before. I can still swipe and type extremely easily with the Fantom 4 on, however instead of extremely light taps like before now it is just light taps.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
Pmoradi thanks for the pics, I see on one of them a bumper is being used which I assume is the OEM but do you know if it has any compatibility issues with other type of cases?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
We only have the OEM Nexus 4 Bumper available to test with, however most cases should fit without any problem. The only cases I would be concerned with not fitting are the ones with a non-flexible front lip that goes over the screen. Other than that most cases should fit as the Fantom 4 leaves a few mm open for this.:good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
That is good to hear, can't wait to get mine on. Just a little suggestion, if you guys make another how to install video tell the person who will be putting it on to cut their finger nails, The guy who made the video for the galaxy nexus had some really long finger nails :eek:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] obtained:
I got in contact with xgear about my screen protector and I'll be getting a replacement. Very friendly and prompt customer support. I already own a tempered glass screen protector for a different device and it remains fantastic. I probably got the only defective one. :) If you don't have the fantom 4 you are definitely missing out on the greatest screen protector for your device.
