Are there any pics or anything you all want prior to me applying it?

I have the Diztronic case, I will let you all know how it fits and post pics/video.

Also, be kind as this will be my first video reviewing such things. Haha
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
I guess the only thing I can think would be a shot of the same screen, at same brightness before and after, just to show any potential 'hazing' the glass may cause. I doubt it will cause any, but, it's good to see everything I guess.

But really, as long as you have an opinion on how easily it fitted, and how it feels to use and any differences you may feel, thats all we can ask for. Though, if it will make it more difficult or nerve wracking for you, then ignore the video part.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
Possibly the edge....? I don't know but looking at previous installed picture, it's seems the screen area shortly reduced? May be just me
[G2 Accessories] Reginald476:
The only thing is, it has plastic protectors on it and they have bubbles and I hope and pray that they add a bit of a yellow tinge to it. I will take the pic but just keep those facts in mind. :)

As far as the video, I was just kidding, I doubt anyone will really go nuts on my, just wanted to set expectations. I am not sure about how I would do it without a mount for it and needing to use both hands, at the very least I will get a video of it on.

As far as I can tell it is pretty spot on as far as matching the bezels, I will try to get a good shot of it but that might be pretty tough. I had trouble telling with light directly on it.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
No fear, my expectations are set appropriately low then, just incase.

Basically, some pics, and a solid opinion on it all is more than good enough. Are the edges of the glass rounded off at all? As I believe the iloome items have rounded edges.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Incidentally I've just ordered a Glass-M protector. Budget wouldn't stretch further after buying the phone ha.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
where you purchase the Glass-M one from?
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Their website. Can't remember the full name off top of my head. But i think there is a link in a post 3 pages back?

Found it = http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-lg-g2
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
yeh i did go on that website, but cannot find any postage cost and choosing shipping method
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Just go through to checkout, and just before you confirm payment, it shows postage options.

Assuming it is the same for you as was for me, it is 5 dollars standard. And 30 dollars for express delivery.
[G2 Accessories] Reginald476:
I am working on the video.

Its installed. So far it seems to be pretty accurate. No touch issues. The bezels are good and don't cover anything. My Diztronic case fits on and doesn't seem to push up the edges.

I would say to gibe me a couple of days with it so I can actually use it a bit to see if it pulls up or has touch issues.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Nice one. Good to know it went on fine. Are colours etc all looking the same as before?

A couple of days i definitely have, my Glass-M wont turn up for about 15 days or sonething yet.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
i'm still deciding on the glass-m or glassview i might order both after all and see whichever turn up first, probably around same time :eek:
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
Ordered both the Glassview and Glass-M, lets see which gets here first lol.
[G2 Accessories] Reginald476:
It seems like I have to apply a little more pressure than I used to. Its not terrible but a little noticeable.
[G2 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
The Glassview looks nice, I want it to cover the UGLY @$$ Verizon logo. Has anyone got theirs? Quality of them?
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Will you have pictures on how they fit with different cases? I'm looking at the Spigen case for the G2, but I don't know if that will fit your glass protector.
[G2 Accessories] Reginald476:
It looks and feels great, but sadly I had more and more issue with touch input it actually popped off when I put it in my car dock. I am going to contact the seller and see if they are looking to fix it.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Yikes, don't like the sound of that. I hope all these tempered protectors can have a perfect application and no worries afterwards. Don't fancy it popping off randomly.
[G2 Accessories] Reginald476:
In all honesty my mount is made for the Galaxy Nexus so it was a bit smaller than something made for the G2 but it still fits.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
That's a little more comforting then. Just waiting to pull the trigger on a spigen slim armor now if cases all fit fine.
[G2 Accessories] andybites:
I purchased the -

iloome LG G2 ScreenMate Flex Flexible Glass 8H Hardness Premium Screen Protector with Oleophobic Coating

from Amazon, arrived a few days back.

Had it on since friday, screen felt a little odd at first - but this was explained in the documentation as some sort of coating, this has now gone and the phone feels exactly as it did before I applied the protector.

Sensitivity is very slightly lower, though nothing worth worrying about.

I use it with the Quick Window case.

I'd recommend both, only shame about the case is the tendency to flap open!

(I've not noticed any issues with the edge peeling, however as using the quick window case I probably wouldn't be exposing the protector to anything that would cause lifting)
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
I can't see that on Amazon here in the uk. Didn't iloome say they were stopping selling it for quality reasons though? Or was that a different manufacturer.
[G2 Accessories] andybites:
Yeah they did, that's why I mentioned I'd not seen any peeling. I definitely won't be seeking A refund on mine.. I'm sure they'll have a new one on the market soon though.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Unless it launches in a few days, I'm best waiting for my Glass-M one. So was it the peeling that made them stop production? Or the exposed edges shattering or something? Good to know it is remaining solid though.
[G2 Accessories] andybites:
No idea what the issue was.. But mine is great.

I'll definitely use them again, I know those with issues appear to have been refunded or whatever pretty much straight away.
[G2 Accessories] El Che:
Glass-M is for $13 which is half the price of what others are selling it for, so whats the catch ? Any idea on how thick it is ? the site doesn't mention this

http://theglass-m.com/collections/a...ium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-lg-g2

I cant seem to find this on ebay :eek:
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Everything seems to be either 0.26mm or 0.4mm thick. I'd say it is likely 0.4mm. They have a website you can order directly from, no need for ebay.

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

And while there is no particular reason for there to be a 'catch', the price could be for a number of reasons.

Other companies could just be charging more for their glass than they need to?

Itnis slightly less hard, 8h instead of 9h that some others are. Different, but still more than hard enough.

Less fancy packaging?

Who knows.
[G2 Accessories] El Che:
i'll wait for your review first :good:

i have the slim armor case so not sure whether it'll fit or not
[G2 Accessories] deadsea:
Post from earlier..

Seems the catch is the coverage. Check the photos in the posted link. Not so much of an issue of you're intending to use it with a case. But something to look out for, for those who aren't.
[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
Wish there was one that goes edge to edge with no problems. I would grab that in a heart beat
[G2 Accessories] deadsea:
I'm using one of the wet apply ones as a temp solution. As long as they are applied correctly, the edges don't collect too much dust.. Feels slightly tacky, but it's temporary.
[G2 Accessories] deme3erw:
Anyone tried this one?

http://www.armorz.com/en/product/G2/Stealth-Extreme-R-Tempered-Glass-for-LG-G2/fm62
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Weird, the links on their site to go and buy form Amazon.com &.co.uk just redirect to the same page you were on. Shame, as, from their description at least, it sounds good.

---------- Post added 28th October 2013 at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was 27th October 2013 at 11:57 PM ----------

Looking at the pics, the width of the protector is the exact width of the screen itself, so hardly a problem really.

Though, I'm planning on putting it in a spigen slim armor so even less of an issue to me. I'd have thought anyone willing to put a layer of glass ontop of glass is likely to be using a case anyway?

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

I am interested to see how close to the edges/top/bottom the Glassview protector goes. Just when a company like iloome stops production and spigen deliberately make thwir protectors smaller cos of problems with lifting, it makes me worry about ones that cover the full front.
[G2 Accessories] deadsea:
Might be just me, but I think I see the edge of the display peeking out the sides?

And yeah, I'm the odd one that wants a glass protector, but no case. Planning to apply vinyl wrapping to the back for scratch protection.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
I think the one where it looks like it comes from the sides is shot at a pretty odd m angle. There are some top down shots that seem to show it just fitting the screen only.

I will say it doesn't seem to go as far down at the bottom as I'd hoped. But, beggars can't be choosers I guess.
[G2 Accessories] deadsea:
Post back once you get yours? Hopefully it's just parallax as you suggested. Then I can go forth and order a pair for me and my missus..
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Will do.

If it doesn't cover the screen, i know it will bug me amd I'll re-sell it. It shipped yesterday apparently, tracking number takes me to tnt website..... In dutch, weirdly?
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Just ordered one from their website, will see how it goes :)

Total was $18.50 - $13.50+$5 shipping.
[G2 Accessories] deme3erw:
Why I cant see the shipping charges? When I click checkout, the site redirects me directly to paypal to pay $13.5 :confused:
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
This is where I got confused as well and added my initial post. The shipping charges are presented after you complete your payment in PayPal. I had 2 selections:

- $5

- $30

I was not happy that they showed me those options after I completed the payment, but then I saw "Cancel", which should cancel your payment (I think). I decided to go with the purchase anyway :)

Good luck !
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
To clear that up. You aren't really paying before you see the postage price. You are shown the cost of the item, and asked to pick your payment method in paypal.

Then, on next 'confirm' click, it takes you to the page to choose postage. You have 2 options, pick one, then, when you confirm, it charges your PayPal.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Not quite, here are the steps that I followed:

1. Selected an item and added to the cart (13.50)

2. Clicked "check out with Paypal"

3. Selected "Use a PayPal account payment"

4. Entered my login and password on the paypal website

5. Authenticated and made a payment

6. Then on the next page it offered me to select shipment type or cancel transaction
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
You can't physically pay, and then choose your postage method. It isn't possible.

You are confirming payment method before choosing postage option amd confirming purchase properly. The website might well word it awkwardly I will say that much, but you definitely do not physically pay before choosing postage. Otherwise you would make 2 payments to the company, and that doesn't happen.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
I agree. This indeed looked awkward, since I buy items on eBay from time to time and I was sure that I made a complete payment of 13.50, but then I saw shipping method. So on eBay, you see the price and the shipping cost and then you proceed with payment, here it acted differently, but I received only one email from PayPal, so you are right. It's just the entire PayPal integration on their website looks awkward

小计	$13.50 USD

运费和手续费	$5.00 USD

总计	$18.50 USD

付款	$18.50 USD

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

Ok, so I went to their website and walked through the steps again. :) When I logged into PayPal an clicked Continue it said that my payment is being processed. Next page says "Shipping & Payment" and once I select shipping, I can either click "Complete my purchase" or "cancel, and return to store"

I hope this clears up the situation a bit.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
It is a pretty confusing and poorly worded method really. But, it works, so that's something.

Once yours ships, and you get your tracking link, can you post to say if it works. I have my link and tracking number, but it always says that the courier has no information on the system yet. I'd have expected tnt to have a system that updates more often.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Not sure if it will be shipped at all. Today I have received a notification from my bank that yesterday's operation got cancelled and I received my $18.50 back on my account. It still remains "Paid" on their website though. Weird... :confused:
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
That's all a bit strange. Maybe shoot them an email asking what is going on?
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Now it becomes even more interesting. I found them on eBay and sent them an email asking whether they have this screen protector in stock because I was not able to find it on eBay.

The response was:

"dont have yet friend

sorry

- lial1990"

Then I have received another email, saying which color I prefer (black or white) and that they can do a special price of $25 including shipping :eek:
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
And this is from Glass-M? I had no choice of colour, as Glass-M doesn't cover the full outside edge of the phone so is just clear.

I wouldn't necessarily trust an eBay page named like their name, I'd go direct through their website whoever it is to be safe.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
i believe i purchased mine few hours after yours, and mine yet to dispatch
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Yeah, you are right, I didn't pay attention to the name, this response was from some other seller, not from Glass-m and I agree with you regarding the eBay page name, however I feel safer when I purchase something through eBay.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Another response came from iloom:

We don't have it right now :/ We're trying to develop it but it may take a while. Sorry and thanks for your interest!

- iloome
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
The fact the putchase on the Glass-M site is through paypal should be enough to provide protection surely? But still, I'd get back on the site and email them asking why the original was cancelled.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Yes, that is what I just did. I used their "Contact Us" form with my order number.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Will be interesting to hear their reply. Keep trying my tracking number, but still keeps saying there are no details yet.

I know when things come from the far east they can take a while to appear, but, would just be nice if the tnt site updated saying 'collected from sender' or something.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
I will definitely let everyone know, the website told me that I should expect a response within 48 hours.
[G2 Accessories] deadsea:
It's pretty much like that all the time. Especially when it's chinese origin like these seem to be. I'm in the far east and my tracking numbers only seem to work after I've gotten the item.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Well that's a bit more comforting then I have to say at least.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
just saw on glass-m, they now to a thinner glass the glass-m nano, 0.2mm
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Today, the amount that was returned to my card, got deducted again, still nothing from glass-m.

By the way, here is what I was offered by another seller from eBay for $25: http://goo.gl/CxSRJA
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Damn! I hope i get sent that. Half as thick basically as the one I'm expecting. Would help make it look less obvious from angles.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

I'll admit im getting a bit worried about your trouble with it. Maybe i should check my credit card account eh.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
It concerns me as well, I almost agreed to by another screen protector from another seller. I do not want to end up with 2 screen protectors, or even worse - with nothing.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
So, originally glass-m took payment. Then, it was refunded. And now they have taken payment again?

Hopefully it means yours will be sent soon. The waiting is killing me, I've now got to wait for my Glass-M protector... My Spigen Slim Armor.... And my Meenova.... Patience is not a virtue of mine.
[G2 Accessories] Dmitryy:
Yes, the amount was deducted from my card (I receive a notification each time something is added or withdrawn form the card), in paypal it was pending, then bank sent me a message that the operation was cancelled and I received $18.50 back, then today the amount again got deducted and paypal now says that the payment has been processed (completed).

Order status on the website is: Glass-M Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for LG G2 - Available to ship: 7-14 days and no response to my email.
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
I should have both the the glass view and glass m protectors within a week...glass m shipped mine this week from hong Kong...it is now at the post office in SF...glass view shipped last week from Korea and it is at the NY post office currently.
[G2 Accessories] kruzo80:
case to use with tempered glass

Does anyone know good phone case like incipio lg g2 case to use with tempered glass like glass-m?
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Any case that doesn't go over the edge ofbthe lcd should do, as the protector seems to go along the vertical edges of the screen.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

When did you order your glass-m? Mine isn't even tracking on the tnt site a few days after it shipped. I know that can happen with far east orders, but still.
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
Ordered last friday.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Same here. Bit further to travel for me I guess. But hoped it would at least be tracking by now.
[G2 Accessories] El Che:
if the glass-m fits with the slim armor case then im ordering it
[G2 Accessories] leetjimis:
just ordered the 0.22mm one :eek:
[G2 Accessories] El Che:
dont forget to post pics here once you get it :good:
[G2 Accessories] leetjimis:
sure, no problem.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
I'd have gone for that one if it had been on the site last week. In a way I hope they send me that one by accident.
[G2 Accessories] leetjimis:
oh well, good luck.

now i have to find a good case and i am good to go i guess :p
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Finding a case I liked was difficult. Seemsbto be too many choices almost. I figure the case is most important, and the screen protector has to fit with it, if not, then I'll try another brand screen protector ha ha.
[G2 Accessories] whitepandaaa:
did they email you the tracking number? I ordered my glass-m on the 26th, but yet dispatch
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Yeah I got my tracking number on the 27th. But just the same message on the courier website about no details yet. Oddly, given its from the far east, the courier website language is dutch.
[G2 Accessories] bsems1000:
So the glass_m tempered glass protector is a good choice? How much of the screen does it cover? Anybody have pictures they would like to share?
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
There is a link to some pictures a few pages back. The top down pics make it look like it covers the width of the lcd panel, if it goes too close to the edge, it wouldn't stick down properly.

Thing is, I think at least 3 of us here are waiting for ours to arrive. Once they start arriving, we will probably post our opinions on here. There are 2 options available on the Glass-M site now, a standard glass one at 0.33mm thick, and a new nano one at 0.22mm thick I think it is.

But to answer your question of if it is a good choice? Who knows. There seems to be issues with various brands so far, usually because they cut them too big. This looks smaller at least so should stick down fine.
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Quick update-

There was a mistake in thickness, the glass is .33mm NOT .6mm :good:
[G2 Accessories] bigdee888:
Hi!

I saw the NanoSlim type of Glass-M protectors.

Whats the advantages of it?

Why better than the thicker one?

Thanks!
[G2 Accessories] El Che:
bloody hell :eek:
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
In theory it is less noticeable once on the screen. Which is good if using either no case, or just a rear cover type case.

I would presume the disadvantages of it being thinner are that it in theory would offer less protection in a 'distance from screen' sense. But it is .11 of a mm different, so, that is hardly a massive difference anyway.
[G2 Accessories] bsems1000:
Yea, i actually purchased one yesterday right around the time i wrote my post. I bought the .22 mm one. Guess I'll find out how this thing works when it comes.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

The Diztronic case is what I'm using. No issues here. slim, protective, all holes properly cut out for mics, ports, and sensors. :good::good::good:

[G2 Accessories] SupaSwag:
Are you guys able to protect most of the screen by incorporating those dots people usually complained about?
[G2 Accessories] bL33d:
Is there an iloome flex for verizon g2?
[G2 Accessories] Vysin:
The iloome protectors were too big and stopped orders to fix that
[G2 Accessories] justbenice:
The Glass-M Premium Tempered look like our only choice at this time. But anyone know how hard is it ? 8H or 9H ? And what is diffirence between GlassM slim nano and slim ?
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
The difference between 8h and 9h really isn't going to make too much difference in real world terms. And the difference between them is one is thinner than the other, it is mentioned a few times on past pages.
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
The "dots" were only in our first version of Nexus & S III glass, everything else after that has not had dots.

We are able to protect most of the screen as the borders are painted, allowing us to use a different type of adhesive than the clear protectors.
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
my glassview is still en route, my glass-m was just delivered but i'm not home atm. will update with pics and such when i apply it.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Excellent. The Glass-M is the one a few seem to be going for. Mine is still somewhere on it's way from Hong Kong, so who knows when it will arrive. The big question is just how wide is it in relation to the lcd panel. Some pics make it look like it is exactly as wide, which is fine with me. Yet one angled pic make it look maybe a little more narrow, which is not so good.

Looking forward to pics and opinion. :good:
