That is a far superior tracking page than the one I got a link to. Mine, coming to England linked to a site mostly written in Chinese and barely navigatable.

I keep thinking i should just buy a lot and sell them myself.... Seems more likely people woukd get them quicker.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
what link you were given? i was given link to the TNT site which doesn't track anything, was only able to get some sort of information through the Hong Kong post office site
[G2 Accessories] nadalzeal:
I dont have tracking number yet in my email. Just order confirmation number. How come?
[G2 Accessories] deathshead:
hey guys, im thinking of dumping my Note 3 for a G2.

Are there ANY good fitting glass for the G2 and without that HUGE cut out on the top?

thanks.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
just received mine.... but i was given a nano one, while i paid for the normal one
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
You need a cutout or the phone earpiece wont work properly.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

I'd be happy. The nano is more expensive, and lets be honest, 0.1mm is a difference that nobody would really be able to feel anyway.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
sad to say my nano is way too small

i placed the glass-m on top of the normal screen protector that just fit, it is way too small
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
My boss who takes care of our tempered glass line has been in & out of the hospital for the past week so I have not been able to get an update, however as of now it seems like we'll MAYBE have a delay :(
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Rather concerned for others, but also quite thankful that my nano is exactly the right size.

Have to think they have had a problem with an entire batch.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
actually after i installed, it seems to be like the standard size which was posted a pages back, then its perfect, just smaller than expected, but i do get line of air on the side and :crying: sadly some lint and dust
[G2 Accessories] :
you guys realize they made it smaller because:

- screen is curved so it will stick

- a case can be used without pushing the protector up off the screen

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
yes i do, but in asia market they are making one slightly wider and still without lifting issue about 0.1mm more on each side which make the protector perfect, however one we are receiving from glass-m are the much narrow version
[G2 Accessories] :
I habe two cases andbmost coverbmore then 0.1 mm over the sides.

best tip I can give is apply with your widest case on phone for a snugg and case friendly fit

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
You mean some that are being received by glass-m are much narrower. Both my normal thickness and nano glass-m are the exact same size as each other and do fit perfectly, with an extremely careful placement of course as I detailed in all my pics etc.

The dust and lint is my biggest worry when fitting a protector. And as my pics showed, as I had to lift it slightly at the top after first attempt I got a little air too, but it is still stuck down, isn't lifting at all, and doesn't affect how it works. Any touch on the 'sticky' side at all could cause a protector to be less sticky.

But they also say to use it for a couple of days and they may also work their way out.
[G2 Accessories] justbenice:
it look like everybody have air gaps and dust gaps :(
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
I meant the tempered glass screen protector itself, in asia market people are getting one slightly wider to cover all the Black area of the screen which have no problem with any case

I think my one are same as yours, i was compare with my other screen protector which was just FIT, then opened glass m and line up.. i thought it will not fit then i turned on the screen, line up using the background, that so much easier to line up this protector, as its almost impossible to line up 100% with nothing to look for. I might order my second glass-m since i figure out how to install accurately, so less issue with dust, currently have a few one in the screen area, not really noticeable but a big one on the side i fail to get it off, tried lots of method !!!

i might order my second glass-m but i will wait and see if xgear any good, have a feeling it is just another glassview.

the one that claimed he has problem is actually same as mine in terms of dimension which is the same a standard glass-m dimension, bit disappointed since looking on forum in Hong Kong and Taiwan seeing the version they are receiving are wider than ours

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

dust gaps and air gaps caused by me keep on lifting and adjust the placement of the protector, installed first time no dust or air but totally off center!!! so my fault really
[G2 Accessories] justbenice:
with me, the glassM stick very well but it will not stick in the right edge top and bottom
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
mine one just the middle bit not sticking.... where the dust is
[G2 Accessories] justbenice:
thank you. So they sent me a bad pack of Nano Slim. :(
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
This is my review of the nano glass-m, I'll try to consolidate all the information I searched for before ordering in this post. I ordered it on 10/31, got it today on the east coast. Not too bad for coming from the other side of the world, but it didn't actually ship from glass-m for 5 days and it sat in customs for another 2 days. No problems with the tracking info they sent. It seems the protector I got was of the more narrow variety. If you look at the pic, the protector only covers to where the LCD meets the bezel. It doesn't come close to the beveled edges at all. Top to bottom it extends out quite a bit more to the beveled edges, but not touching. The pics are with the Dual pro case and IMO the screen protector should be as wide as the bevels, not only as wide as the underlying LCD panel. Like some others it seems mine also suffers from lift on the right edge. No matter how much I push it down it pops right back up. On the plus side the feel of the protector is great, and I don't have any touch issues. I'm not a photographer so I apologize if the pics suck.. I'll give it a couple days to see if the edge will settle before I contact glass-m.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Thanks for the pictures. Looks like you had a good fit. What case is that? The Incipio Dual Pro? Can't decide between that one and the Spigen Slim Armor, but I want to make sure that both cases will work with the tempered glass without lifting.
[G2 Accessories] thephatness:
Here's my nano install with the DualPro. Though not ideal, even with the bubbling on the right edge it looks ok in person under a bright light. It's really only noticeable with the displayed turned off but we'll see how it looks over time. My pic makes it look worse than it really is and the dust you see there was just from my fingers trying to get the case rubber to sit right with the shell.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Thank you for this! This was the same protector and case combo that I was looking at and I hadn't seen pics of any together. It seems as if you have more than enough clearance between the lip of the case and the edge of the protector. Do you think it might've just been a bad drop on the protector to the screen that is causing the lift or is it because of the case?
[G2 Accessories] justbenice:
That is enough to say all the Nano Slim are having problem with sticking in the right edge. I have 3 of the Nano Slim have same problem with air gaps in the right edge. I'v tried to contact them but could not reach them by anyway in the last few days.
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
Let us know if you hear back from them. I wouldn't expect this from a $20 screen protector. i think a saw a screen protector that had beveled edges, I might try one of those.
[G2 Accessories] thephatness:
It's definitely caused by what justbenice mentioned in the previous page about missing glue:

In any case, I agree that it's unacceptable at the price paid though I can live with it for now. And yes, please let us know, justbenice, if you receive any response!
[G2 Accessories] jasonsf:
Here are some photos of the GlassM Slim applied to my G2.

There are some are gaps around the edges. At the bottom because I put it on a little too low. And on the right and left towards the middle of the phone.
[G2 Accessories] just4747:
God dammit, now the Sentinel glass protector with black borders that hide the logos is pushed back from a few days from now to December it says:

http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/lg/sentinel

I really want to cover this Verizon logo....

pmoradi2002, can you comment on the longer ship date please? Thanks
[G2 Accessories] bsems1000:
... as I posted some time in October, I purchased the Glass-M slim 0.2mm model premium tempered glass protector. After getting it today in the mail i immediately came to the thread to see what others have said about their orders. Long story short I was afraid that this protector wouldnt satisfy me. Well, I just finished installing it. Very easy if you take your time. It didnt fit edge to edge by any means..just as the pictures have shown so far. But it did line up perfectly with the edges of the LCD screen (horizontally).

Its been on for about 10 mins now and i havent gotten any "lifting" on the right side. After cleaning the screen with alcohol and cotton ball, using the lint/dust sticky film (provided with the kit). I removed side "A" film from the protector completely, then lined it up with this 20/20 vision of mine and placed it onto the screen starting from the bottom edge then pressing the glass (slightly bending it) slowly until it reached the top. Kind of like a rolling-it-on motion. Oh yea, i also turned the screen timeout to 5 mins so that i could see the LCD face clearly.

With my Diztronic case it fits very well. pretty close to the edge of the case, but not to where it would cause lifting from constant removal (although i keep it on almost all the time)

Finger print resistance seems to be just as effectice as the stock oleophobic glass. And to boot.. as other tempered glass protectors have claimed... it seems to make the screen "pop" more. Kind of like a deeper dimension-ed look.... if that makes any sense. :good:

So for now, for the few minutes its been on. I'm cautiously optimistic that this will work. Until something better comes out, or until that logo-blocking sentinel protector proves to work without it lifting from the curved edges of the screen.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
This is helpful, thanks! Please let us know if you experience any problems in the coming days/weeks.

I'm going to order my phone on BF and I guess I should probably put in an order for the Nano/regular Glass-M sometime soon so that they arrive at the same time. I'm just a bit concerned that it'll play nice with my case (currently ordered the Incipio Dual Pro and if that doesn't work, then I'm going to the Spigen), but I think that they will.
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
Here's another option: http://temperedarmor.com/?product=lg-g2-tempered-armor-screen-protector just ordered and spoke to the owner of the company via irc, he will have them ready to ship in 7 days.

[G2 Accessories] ChrisFSU:
I emailed iloome about the 9H tempered glass screen protector prior to finding this thread. I'm sure this is old news to y'all, but he said...

Hello,

We're developing it again, but we are not sure when we can bringing out for you guys. It may take 3 weeks, or even 3 months. Sorry for the delay and thank you for your interest!

Best regards,

Luke

iloome

My question is this... has anyone found an equally good 9H protector for the G2 (Sprint variant, if it matters)? -TIA
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
This is exactly the same reply from them 3 weeks ago, and to be honest glass-m and glassview is the only tempered glass protector you could buy so far
[G2 Accessories] ChrisFSU:
Thanks for the reply. How are they in comparison to the iloomes?
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
I have only used glass-m, my first tempered glass screen protector,

iloome briefly released the flexible glass one but it was way too wide and cause lifting so they stopped that . so i don't know how the iloome will be like. but i can say the glass-m width of the protector may be a bit short, but it feels very decent, no fingerprint left over at all also very smooth surface, been using it 2 days so far, very happy with it,

I might order another glass-m as replacement since xgear delayed theirs, as i kind of messed up mine a little bit as it was too narrow i wasn't sure how to line up the protector so got a bit dust around the boarder which caused my air gap
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
In an effort to try to seal the right edge of my glass-m, I got a little carried away with a pen and a small spot on the edge cracked. I'm thinking the edge is actually curved upward a little and that's why it doesn't stick. Mine will adhere and then lift off a second or two after I release the downward pressure. So don't go pushing on the edge with anything hard because it will break. It really is glass though!
[G2 Accessories] just4747:
No reply to my last post - can any employees of XGearLive comment on the new ship date for the Sentinel screen protectors for the G2? Is there a specific date? Why did it get pushed back to December and may it get pushed back again?

Thanks, really looking forward to this one and currently have no protector so the sooner the better lol.
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
http://temperedarmor.com/?product=lg-g2-tempered-armor-screen-protector I should have mine next week, they're currently in fabrication.
[G2 Accessories] soapinmouth:
Has anyone had any luck talking to m-glass about getting a replacement for the lifting?
[G2 Accessories] ChrisFSU:
...but what do we know about them? How do they compare to the iloome? Also, what's the coupon code? TIA
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
It will be my first time ordering from them... what I know from talking to the owner, the company is based in the us fabrication plant is in China though.. Pm me for coupon code..will update once I get mine.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
.4mm seems thick, but I guess that means more drop protection, right? I think I might go in on this. I was going to get a glass-m, until the lifting issue or whatever it is.
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
If there is enough demand for a thinner version the owner has a .2mm sample that may be made available, it is 7h I believe however...also the .4mm fabrication is finished and is being shipped to him to send out to those who have ordered.
[G2 Accessories] justbenice:
This is what i got from them 2 days ago :

"Thanks for you email. *We will follow up your case.*"
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
Hang on.... looking at the image from the last link.... The tab to remove one of the layer from the screen protector has a logo just looks like glass m one
[G2 Accessories] ChrisFSU:
Wow, those look like the nicest! Has anyone had any prior experience with this company on other phones?
[G2 Accessories] voiceofid:
I just came from my Nexus 5 with Spigen Glas.T and got spoiled and looked desperately online for one.

I ended up finding a Hong Kong company that can ship one out to me call m-glass

Here's their site http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-lg-g2

It was $5 to ship to the US, package looks the same as the Spigen units, we'll see how it works out when it gets here
[G2 Accessories] M@XLOL:
LMAO
[G2 Accessories] thephatness:
Since it's been a few days, I'd like to update my review of the nano slim glass from "something I can live with" to "acceptable". At first I had lifting in the top right, mid right, bottom right corner and a small bubble mid left. I was able to gently press out them out today and only have the mid right one remaining. The last one looks like a dust particle had worked its way in there so I'd probably would've been able to press that one out too.
[G2 Accessories] baculo:
That's the one I have my eye on. Have you already pre-ordered it? Any previous experience with Xgearlive?
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
For anyone who was wondering, I measured the thickness of the "nano" glass-m. It's almost twice the claimed thickness. It makes me think they just slapped the sticker on the regular box and shipped it. My lift on the right side never went away, dust got trapped and it looked horrible so I took it off.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
I ordered mine on October 29th and received it today. I haven't tried applying it yet.
[G2 Accessories] zathus:
I was really excited for the screen protector. But after delay, and delay, and delay I've lost all interest
[G2 Accessories] TECHNOLLIC:
Broken Glass M Nano

What kind of package did your protector come in, was it one of those bubble envelopes?

This message is for Dmitryy
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
Yep.
[G2 Accessories] TECHNOLLIC:
Thank you, just wanted to know. I got my Glass M Protector yesterday, the package was bent a little & since it is a glass screen protector, my heart dropped, when I opened the package, the protector was broken, I also noticed what looked like a tired or foot print on the outside of the envelope. I went to the post office clerk to file a claim & she told me I could not since the package was not labeled fragile, glass or do not bend. Why would you send a thin piece of glass all the way from hong kong in a bubble envelope & not even say fragile or whatever. I emailed Glass M but have yet to get a response, same as everybody else that has emailed them. It seems like after they get our money that is it, no more support. For something so small that cost $21.99 that sucks.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Thanks for the info, and the promo code. Takes off shipping. I'll wait till you receive and post some pics or something before ordering. All these stories about failed screen protectors is making me just want to use my XtremeGuard wet application skin. It's not glass, but at least I know that it should work (have used the brand several times previously).

I guess as long as the screen itself doesn't get scratched or damaged, it shouldn't matter if it's 7H or 9H, right? I can see the H rating for scratch protection, as opposed to actual drop protection, right?
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Yes, bubble envelop.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

I emailed them twice, since there was something weird with my payment (I paid, then received a charge back, then again got billed...) and haven't heard back :(

Sorry about your screen protector.
[G2 Accessories] TECHNOLLIC:
Yeah, it seems kind of shady to me. the payment thing when I read about what happened to you in your earlier post was weird, If people are having problems and have questions and can't get answers, I don't know if it's a good idea to keep ordering. iloome seems like a good company, they just have to get the protector right.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Yeah, I was kinda surprised when it arrived :) I must admit that delivery time was good, I usually wait about 4 weeks +
[G2 Accessories] fr8cture:
No xgear yet?
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
What I think absolutely nobody seems to know is that the thickness quoted of pretty much any tempered glass protector is the thickness of just the glass BEFORE any film sandwich layers are added to keep the glass in place in case it cracks.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

Ordered 2, had 2 delivered in perfect condition. The packaging is perfectly fine, shoddy postal standards however are the cause of a tyre or footprint getting on your envelope and breaking it. Glass-m can't be blamed there.

Oh, also, I emailed them about delivery of my first and got a reply in a few days off them.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Oh boy. You should read the last several pages. People have been upset with their QC because of allegedly bad fabrication.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
And then there are people who are perfectly happy with their glass-m too of course.
[G2 Accessories] ChrisFSU:
Do you work for them? :laugh:
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Would probably be easier than my current job..... Put stuff in envelopes, post them, done ha ha.

I've just been happy with the protectors and any interaction i had to have with them. Don't get me wrong, could it be better? Yes, of course it could. But the same could be said about basically anything ever. For me and others, everything has been as expected. The fact is, usually people only ever talk when they have problems.... And they talk louder than the happy people.
[G2 Accessories] TECHNOLLIC:
Yes they are to blame. Would you ship a flat piece of glass through the post office without putting Fragile, Glass, on it so they can know to be careful with it. So I spent $22.00 dollars for nothing.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
No. They aren't responsible for the breakage at all. Do you think they stood on it?

Or do you think that it has to say 'fragile' on it to avoid having the postal service not stand on your mail? Cos, I think 'not standing on customers mail' is a part of the job that covers all mail, fragile or otherwise.

Incidentally, putting 'fragile' on packages does not get them treated with any more respect than mail that doesn't have that on.

Its not the fault of the manufacturer that some dip£hit stood on your package in transit.
[G2 Accessories] jasonsf:
He said he had removed it from his device because he didn't like it so I assume he measured it without the protective covers. Unless he put them back on after he removed it from his device.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Yes, that's why I said "allegedly" in my post that you had quoted.
[G2 Accessories] TECHNOLLIC:
Ok mgolder, you've given some pretty good advice in this thread.:highfive: I still think somebody should pay for what happened to my package, So I will see if I can go back to the post office and file a claim.
[G2 Accessories] ARFF:
Does anyone have expierence with "Glassview" ???

Type on ebay:

NEW LG G2 Tempered Glass Screen Protector 9H Hardness Premium GlassView [Black]

(i cannot post links yet)
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Again, no. The glass, once all protective films used in transit are removed still has film layers built into the applied glass itself. They are what stop it from falling into big sharp shards of pain when the protector breaks. They hold it together, and are what make them shatterproof.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

Dont get me wrong, glass-m should be obliged to send a replacement for you. At least in the UK the sender is responsible until it arrives at the destination. How it works for international orders, I'm not sure. But I'd say they ahould still be expected to replace it.

Also, the post office likely will let a claim happen too. But if its anything like here, it takes forever. I imagine they would wriggle out of it by saying the breakage happened during its time with china mail etc.

Oh hang on..... Did you pay via PayPal? If so, claim your money back as you are entitle to a refund as it didn't arrive intact.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
I bought a screen protector from Tempered Armor. They said that they'll be shipping within 48 hours from their manufacturer in China. Looks like it's likely to arrive before or with my G2 that I'll order on Black Friday!
[G2 Accessories] jasonsf:
Ah, gotcha. OK, that makes sense. A bit misleading, but I guess every industry has their misleading marketing statements.
