I'm getting a lot of mixed information, a sample is supposed to be here either on Monday or Tuesday but it's going to be all clear. This is to test the fit and all that, then we will need to get the borders painted which will take another week. Because of this, we are considering going with the all clear so that we can get it in quicker (if there are not adhesive issues) however I would prefer to get the colored borders in. As soon as I get definite information or when the samples come in I will let everyone know, but for now China has me going in circles :rolleyes:

I'm just as anxious as you guys are, my personal is a G2 as well :fingers-crossed:

I have taken the glass off of pre-order for now until we figure everything out.
[G2 Accessories] just4747:
Thanks for the info, but aw man you guys gotta do the black borders!! That's what makes your product stand out..many Verizon users NEED to cover up that Verizon logo lol. No more boring clear glass protectors! :p And your company's version is our only hope since that Korea one had issues :(

People would pay for this, trust me. Even non-Verizon people can still cover up the LG logo. Good luck with it!
[G2 Accessories] ChrisFSU:
Sell some of each, if plausible. I, personally, would prefer a clear one.
[G2 Accessories] mikedeconboy:
Anyone try these out? http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/lg/sentinel

They seem to be selling like hot cakes and the product says "Protects most of the screen (including curved edges) unlike our competitors"
[G2 Accessories] just4747:
Are you kidding dude?

Search sentinel in this thread. There has been a million posts on it and it's not even released yet for this phone. In fact, the company hasn't even received the product yet as one of their workers said a few pages back..
[G2 Accessories] mikedeconboy:
oh..search function isn't working for me. Someone on another thread said he ordered it.
[G2 Accessories] deme3erw:
Actually it covers the screen exactly. What you see uncovered, are the side black borders of the screen. I would like them to be covered too, but...
[G2 Accessories] just4747:
Any possible little chance your company can also release a version only covering the Verizon logo by blacking out the top, but not blacking out the bottom/LG logo? Ideally this is what I would want. I don't want to cover up LG, just Verizon!!

:p
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
It would look odd, trust me. It would need to be either all clear or have colored borders.

We could possibly sell both the clear and colored borders, I'll see what we can do.

I am pushing the black/white borders however it's very difficult :(
[G2 Accessories] nbunn:
You're a good man
[G2 Accessories] jasonsf:
I just wanted to give an update. It has been about two weeks. The air gaps are gone. Between living in my pocket and me occasionally pushing down on the edges, all the gaps are gone. It looks perfect and works great. Very happy with the GlassM Slim. Sorry not everyone is having the same result.
[G2 Accessories] funnyboy027:
I just receive the Glass-M nano but got a broken one, the bottom right corner is not flat so has a lot of bubbles, so sad. Just contact them for get a new one
[G2 Accessories] deathshead:
That looks ****. Id get a refund asap

lol could be user error... unlucky grease etc

[G2 Accessories] Norside:
Is you people happy with your tempered glass protectors? Is it a good protection for the screen? I'm on the fence wether I should buy one or not.. So would be nice to get info about your experiences with it:)
[G2 Accessories] javikid:
My MIME came in and i will have install tomorrow. I will post pictures.
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
Are there any screen protectors besides the sentinel that have beveled edges?
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
I would probably be interested in an clear one as long as it seals well and can fit with phone cases (specifically, Spigen Slim Armor because that's what I have :D).

Keep us updated!
[G2 Accessories] just4747:
Does anyone know of ANY screen protectors for the G2 that will have black upper and lower borders that will black out all logos, or at least the top Verizon logo on the VZW variant?

The Korea GlassView eBay one from e-sparkler isn't so great according to reviews and the Sentinel one that is coming out may not even come out with black bars anymore according to pmoradi2002 :(

Are there any glass or normal plastic ones with these blacked out areas????? :crying:

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Why is it difficult for the company to release these with the borders now after they've been advertised/teased with them for a while? What changed?? This really sucks.
[G2 Accessories] deathshead:
**** or get off the pot already!

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

I have been researching like mad the G2 glass since I decided to dump my note 3.

Looks the the glass-m fits like garbage, and lifts.

MIME - Jury still out. (I reached out to them to see if they have pics of any other feedback. )

The ones with the black or white color option to ME. - look terrible,

Makes the phone look like a cheap knock off..

This one, I found on a singapore website looks like it fits and looks great right here.

Im hoping the MIME piece fits this well, as They ship out of NJ and their support - Warranty is second to none. See the MIME thread, UGH!

This "Clasy Korea" unit needs to be found! look how it sits right at the edge of the black border on the screen.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
saw the mime one... just make me happier to have bought the glass-m one. since its cheaper and similar fitting:good:
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I've got confirmation that our CLEAR sample will arrive on Wednesday, hopefully no goofs this time :rolleyes:
[G2 Accessories] player911:
Yes the Sentinnal protectors are due out the first week of December. They have painted black or white trim to block out logos. I'm going to try the white one on my black Verizon.

-sent from my LG G2 using XDA Premium 4
[G2 Accessories] just4747:
I just said in the post you quoted that XGearLive probably isn't even going to release black and white bordered ones - only plain old clear now because of costing an extra week (not that long, so why??). So don't count on it now..

Pmoradi2002 said it in this thread recently...
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
I look forward to the pics! :D

The guy above your post is from X-Gear, there might not be black/white trim protectors.
[G2 Accessories] xetaray:
Does this mean that there is more of a chance of air getting in a gap under the clear middle part than other screen protectors with transparent adhesive on the entire protector? Or does the border have one type of adhesive, the center a different type?

Also, the xgear site says that this screen protector covers the rounded edges. How? How can xgear do this when other companies can't?
[G2 Accessories] zathus:
Can I ask why your website advertise is the black and white ones when you don't even know if you'll be able to make the black and white ones?
[G2 Accessories] funnyboy027:
DON'T ORDER FROM GLASS-M, they ignore my email
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
You guys are trippin, when did I ever say we are not releasing the colored border versions?

I simply said we are CONSIDERING going with the all clear version. We WILL have the black/white models, they simply will be delayed 7-10 days in order to be painted (which is why we are receiving the clear first).

Cmon guys this cuts into my personal time :crying:

With colored borders, there is usually no adhesive in the center. However, for example, our Nexus 4 glass had colored borders and also had adhesive on the entire screen.

Search button :good:
[G2 Accessories] xetaray:
You say "usually". What is the situation with your screen protectors? Or are you only going to know when it gets here in a couple days or however long it takes for the bordered one to arrive? Also, can the issue I mentioned arise from there being no adhesive under the screen?

Hah, I specifically read the entire thread to try to avoid a situation like this. Oh well.
[G2 Accessories] xetaray:
Also, looking again at the xgear website, it says, "Protects most of the screen (including curved edges) unlike our competitors".

Could you explain what makes them different?
[G2 Accessories] Preggy:
I'm strongly considering getting a tempered glass sp for my d802. The reason I didn't go for it yet is beacause I'm worried that my Incipio Feather case wouldn't fit anymore (or the screenprotector wont)...

Can anyone report anything about using a glass sp and the incipio feather together? (Compatibility issues...)
[G2 Accessories] blackwell387:
Has anyone else ordered from mimeusa.com yet? Taking chance just ordered I will post pics with case and without case..Fingers crossed..
[G2 Accessories] xbxjunkie:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532801

the fit isn't all that good
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
The protectors out right now don't even come close to the edges, so you're good if you want to take the chance on one.

There is a whole thread dedicated to the Mime one.
[G2 Accessories] Preggy:
Crap :silly: now you kinda have me worried that it's too small (no pun intended)...

I have sent all the manufacturers I could find an E-Mail inquiring about the leftover space on the sides and/or the exact dimensions of the protectors. I'll post them here if/when they get back to me :fingers-crossed:
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
They cover enough of the screen to offer good protection, there are plenty of pics in here that show it. The main issue right now is the quality of the adhesive that is causing some to not stick all the way around. Some seem to be fine and some aren't and it seems to be common among all the manufacturers that have them for sale (or at least ones that are in this thread). Personally I'm waiting for one with beveled edges as they are quite thick and the edges are fairy sharp.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
managed to push all air gap out!! even one with dust near it!

This is the so called poor glass-m nano. perfect for me.. for the price i paid for them
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I'll know tomorrow. Yes, that issue can arise and has to be compensated for with the adhesive thickness.

Having colored borders (you can't see through them) gives us the advantage of being able to use stronger and thicker adhesives.
[G2 Accessories] deathshead:
Dosent look to good for a full proper fitting tempered glass screen protector for the g2..

Kinda sucks but my galaxy nexus screen is still mint after all this time running naked.
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
applied the tempered armor one i ordered, it does cover the whole screen however, lifting issues are present as well, safe to say none of the glass protectors are perfect =/
[G2 Accessories] chrisbooth12:
Anyone know when they are getting more of these in?
[G2 Accessories] xetaray:
Wait, is the adhesive on the edges thinner to compensate for the possible lack of adhesive in the center, or is it thicker to have better coverage of the edges?
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Got my Tempered Armor in the mail today. Can't test it out yet because I don't have the phone yet. Packaged well, I must say. Everything appears intact. We'll see if there are any lifting issues or the like.

I'm thinking I should chance it and apply it as soon as I get the new phone so that there's no chance that dust can get in there. I'll do it in the bathroom by turning on the shower to hot, and placing the screen protector on immediately after taking the G2 out of the box. The only problem I see is that if the G2 itself has an issue with it, I've now wasted a screen protector. Blargh.
[G2 Accessories] WACOMalt:
I just got my TemperedArmor one as well. IT doesn't fit the edges for ****. 100% of the edge is floating off of the phone. Maybe 1/8th of an inch into the screen.

Talking to the manufacturer he convinced it is user error. I've reapplied 4x now with no better results. Perfectly centered, perfectly clean, no hair, no dust, but the edges just dont fit. I'll post pics later.
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Generally it is thicker.
[G2 Accessories] blackwell387:
I was thinking the same thing bro I want one. But needed to if anybody else ordered from them before.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Uh oh.

This is not looking good. Customer service was top notch right up to the moment I ordered, then I didn't hear a peep unless I initiated the conversation (previously, he was all over my Twitter).

Well, if I have the same problem as you, I'll work with him to see what's up. Worst case scenario is that I'll have to do a chargeback. I believe I paid with AMEX, so I shouldn't have too much of a problem there.

Shoot, that means I might have to apply the Xtremeguard (the plastic) screen protector until my second glass protector arrives (if necessary). Do you know if removing the plastic wet application protectors will leave any residue? I've never actually had to take one off before...
[G2 Accessories] xetaray:
Does this mean that there might be a gap under the screen?
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Got some bad news....

Sample came in, size is too small even though we provided them with the correct templates. As of now I have no idea what is going on, we are going to need to re-size and get new samples in but I have no time frame (however it should be sometime in December).

We will be sending emails out to all pre-orders explaining the situation as well as the options available.

Always leave it to China to screw us :mad:
[G2 Accessories] kenkamm:
So let me get this straight.

The G2 has curved screen edges.

Glass, which is not flexible enough to bend at the edges, will not sit flat unless cut back from the edges such that it does not cover the curved part of the screen.

People are experimenting with different brands, finding that they either:

Do sit flat but don't reach the edge, or

Don't sit flat because they reach near the edge.

With the exception of the faulty protectors that had improper adhesive placement, I don't see the logic in the complaints here.
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
You forgot to mention that some are cut too small and don't even cover the entire screen.
[G2 Accessories] deadsea:
Another possibility is to cut the glass to the edge, then use a thicker layer of glue to compensate for the curve. Usually that thicker and stronger glue is not clear and hence they make them with coloured borders.

Others have done it with the S3. And considering the curve on that, the g2 shouldn't be that much harder to get right if not easier.
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
thing is the glassview does that but theres no adhesive on the touch portion of the protector, which causes touch issues since the glass isnt always in contact with the glass/digitizer, if the glassview had adhesive on the touch portion it be perfect, mayb xgear and do a thicker glue on the colored borders and another adhesive on the touch portion.
[G2 Accessories] xbxjunkie:
well....i just rec'd a glass M screen protector and i gotta tell ya it's not tempered glass, at least not the one i just got. it feels like a thicker, PLASTIC screen protector like the ones sold on ebay. it's way to flexible to be tempered glass. the MIME protector that i have on it now feels like glass and is no where near as flexible as the M is. granted the MIME protector doesn't fit quite right and i bought the M to compare the 2, but i wouldn't put this thing on.

EPIC FAIL GLASS M
[G2 Accessories] zathus:
This

I actually went so far as to find a adhesive to apply to the Glassview. No luck on that part.Xgear saying they are going to take that same path for there colored protectors (at this pace, they should be out in may?lol) and end up with the same touch issues.

Perfect protector for me is the glassview black one with adhesive on the whole screen
[G2 Accessories] deadsea:
I wouldn't say it's not glass actually. I've installed one for my wife and she can be tough on screen protectors. Over 2 weeks now and not a scratch yet. Pretty good considering a previous steinell one on her old S3 lasted 2 days.

But what you mentioned is true. It's pretty flexible, to the point of appearing like plastic. Just that the toughness of the surface seems to say otherwise.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Manuf told me that it's "user error" for the people that had issues with their screen protectors. I asked him if he had any specific instructions on how to install correctly according to their specs, and was told to essentially go slowly during the installation process.

Hmmm
[G2 Accessories] xbxjunkie:
the front of the package says tempered glass, the website says tempered glass....that's false advertising plain and simple. i know what tempered glass is and this ain't it. at least the MIME protector is glass, even if it doesn't fit quite right
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
I pretty much have up on tempered glass for the g2...my alternative is I ordered an obliq Zeiss extreme military grade protector... Its damn nice actually uses a silicon adhesive doesnt lift /peel and goes right to the edge of the screen where the curve starts, no rainbow effect or orange peel effect..its not tempered but it's better than the regular pet film that scratches in 1 day...
[G2 Accessories] atsfrnd:
personally i don't really care if it was either glass nor plastic..

what tempered 'glass' appeals to me it's their claim to be just like having no screen protector.. be smooth and slick with minimal fingerprint..

and i assure you Glass-M met those requirements..

i just received my Glass-M Nano this evening.. the packaging is great but with typical chinese typos here and there (no big deal though, after all were talking about the protector itself)

prior to applying i used all the included tools.. wiping the screen using the alcohol pad then apply the dedusting film..

now for the main event, i use masking tape to secure the protector to the phone body.. making sure it doesn't move anywhere when im applying it

while adjusting the position of the protector i constantly clean the screen from tiny dust (you need a table lamp to spot this lil guys)

after i'm ready, i peel of the A part of the protector and carefully drop it to the screen.. the masking tape acts like hinges, making it easier to apply..

then i simply let it rest to the screen..

to my suprise there's NO air bubbles at all, it simply pushing air out until it completely flat.. it does the job FOR me..

the final result looks great.. although it shifted ~1-2 degree it still covers the entire screen..

so don't simply judge how bad Glass-M is just because it doesn't stick properly/air bubbles everywhere.. you might want to double check any presence of tiny dust prior to installing..

i caused a small mistake myself but it has nothing to do with the quality of the protector..
[G2 Accessories] anonymousss:
What's that weird ps note write in the site glass M ?

That edges are curved and this means what ? That the screen protector wont fully sit on the screen ?
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
Other than that screen protector probably being a little thicker, isn't it the same PET material with just a few more layers thrown in?
[G2 Accessories] nadalzeal:
I got my glass-m nano slim tempered glass. I am happy with it. It's not edge to edge but it covers the entire screen display. The lower right corner has weak adhesive but I managed to fix it. For me it doesnt feel like a glass. I was expecting it to be a glass that feels like it will break when you drop it.
[G2 Accessories] jiayit:
Right... So which protector would you recommend I get right now? I don't think I can finish reading the 60+ pages of discussion, would be great if someone enlightened me :) TIA.
[G2 Accessories] douglatins:

[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:

We're pretty much at a halt right now, issues at our factory. No date available as of now, we'll be sending out an email to all the pre-orders shortly.
[G2 Accessories] knockoutking:
:(

Out of curiosity, what do you have on your personal G2's screen at the moment? Anything?
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Generally my phone screen is naked. I am rocking a skin on my G2 as I am really liking the Matte colors, and I will use a Tempered Glass once available as this screen is huge and susceptible to damage.
[G2 Accessories] knockoutking:
I am hoping you guys are able to get some traction on your screen protector for that exact reason!

I have the Fantom for my Galaxy Nexus, could not be happier with it even though it included the dots -- either way, I am looking forward to your product -- really appreciate you keeping XDA in the loop on what is happening!
[G2 Accessories] zathus:
I ordered the matte black wrap from you guys. I'm going to use the front of it, and cut down a screen protector so that I can cover this stupid Verizon logo lol
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I am too, I've gotten into a few arguments in the office about the delay of this. I don't care if users buy from us, I just (like you said) like to support the community and bring products that nobody else has. Think of it as repayment for all the ROMs and Kernels I've downloaded and flashed from XDA :D

I like your enthusiasm :highfive:
[G2 Accessories] atsfrnd:
quick short term durability report on my Glass-M Nano..

no problem here.. no scratches, lifting, fingerprint smudges are minimal..

in fact it gets better as the more you use it the less tacky it feels..

small fiber may stick at the edge of the protector, but it doesn't seem to do harm nor lifting.. just make sure to clean it regularly..

I would suggest Glass-M, it's affordable and gets the job done..
[G2 Accessories] xbxjunkie:
the glass-m protector isn't glass, it's a heavier gauge plastic, even though the website and packaging state tempered glass.....
[G2 Accessories] atsfrnd:
why do you keep arguing about this?
[G2 Accessories] xbxjunkie:
the definition of the word " argue "

" exchange or express diverging or opposite views, typically in a heated or angry way. "

i wasn't arguing, i was informing being the poster doesn't want to read thru 60 page of the thread
[G2 Accessories] atsfrnd:
i said to him that Glass-M is the protector i recommend.. is that wrong?

and 5 days ago i quoted your post 2 pages back about my opinion on 'tempered glass' yet you keep saying the same thing..

[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
How have you proven that it is indeed plastic and not glass?

The iloome screenmate flex screen protector is made out of glass and they claim it can bend up to 170*. :confused:
[G2 Accessories] xbxjunkie:
i never said it wasn't glass. what i did say is it's not TEMPERED glass. tempered glass doesn't bend. also, i don't believe the iloome

protector is " glass " as they state. maybe a " plexiglass ", but not glass in a general sense
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
Glass and Plexiglass are completely different. If it indeed is made out of Plexiglass, I think they cannot label it as glass.

Also I don't think you can reach hardness levels of 8H (as advertised with iloome's flex protector) with Plexiglass.

I believe Plexiglass is generally around 5H scratch resistance but I found that according to this site that 6H is achievable through hard coating.
[G2 Accessories] mrbgpati:
Good to go?

On your website, it's showing that the iloome Flex for the G2 is available for purchase. Are all the kinks worked out with this glass screen protector? I'm sure many of us would like to know as us fellow G2 owners are in the hunt for a good glass screen protector. We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks

Yeah, this is not a factual statement. In fact, it is the opposite of a factual statement. You should probably stop posting about this and and possibly confusing people as you have no idea what you're talking about.
