Cool does anyone know if the hybrid of amour comes with one it looks like only the ultra fit does
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aa10:
I'm considering between the XtremeGUARD (http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm

and SPIGEN PET (http://www.amazon.ca/SPIGEN-Protector-Crystal-JAPANESE-Premium/dp/B00EV97UD6/ref=pd_sim_ce_1). Can anyone tell me which is better?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ritzxda:
Spigen - one of the best quality brands. Xtremeguard protectors are cheap/sticky/grippy. If you don't mind that then they are okay for the price (when they offer the 70-85%) off sales. I have bought them several times for several of my devices...but only as a temp solution and I always end up ripping them off.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chillaxnphilx:
Of all the SPIGEN cases for the Nexus 5 I believe the Ultrafit and Ultra Hybrid are the only ones that come with one screen protector. I myself own the slim armor that doesn't have one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aa10:
thanks..

Will order the SPIGEN.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ritzxda:
No worries. The only thing with dry installs is that they don't cover the entire front screen. Wet apply ones like Xtremeguard will cover edge to edge which is quite nice. Still don't recommend them though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DroidDavi:
Thank you sir just trying to see if I have to order anther protector . I thinking of either slim or neo so I guess I would have to buy one
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DokoBG1:
Hey guys in very new here. Also very new to Android in general. I've been a hardcore Apple for about 3 years but decided its time to change.

Ordered my Nexus 5 and also ordered a Slim Armor Spigen case from Amazon. Also ordered the spigen 3x Screen protectors japanese PETs from the link above. For some reason amazon tells me the screen protectors will ship in about 10-12 days, where the case will be shipped way sooner... Anybody noticed this ? My Nexus 5 will be shipped around Nov 8th as per my order so hopefully I will rock everything on time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lawliet:
I believe the N5 will come with a piece of plastic over the screen. You can just use it with that plastic until you get your screen protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Takulas:
I read everywhere only good words about GLAS.tR. I`m not sure if I read anything about anti-glare. I would really hate to spend all these money and still get a shiny reflective surface. Can you provide more info, please? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
I ordered the glas.tR. After using a glass protector on my note 2, I could never go back to a plastic one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] frusso21:
At the moment are the glass tr screen protectors the only tempered glass ones?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] textus:
I am quite interested to know if the XtremeGuard Back Screen Protector is the only one on the market that protects the back of the Nex5.

Has anyone tried it yet? Does it cover the protruding camera part so that it will not pick up scratches on the lens and the ring around it? How does the back 'screen protector' actually work? a transparent film that makes the back lose its soft plastic silky touch?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Docavelli:
I'm waiting to hear back from Clarivue on if they will make a protector for the n5. I love their screen protectors.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] seanerixon:
Spigen is the only ones making tempered glass, that I could find so far.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AHomelessGuy:
Im thinking of getting the Spigen Slim armor combined with Spigen TR...but i feel like they are going to go on sale soon, and my Nexus 5 doesn't come until the 6th
[Nexus 5 Accessories] compchick813:
Zagg has never let me down. My hubby and I have used them on all of our devices since 2008.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 1stx2:
What about ismooth? I've used them on my last 2 devices and have been more than pleased with them.

http://ismooth.com/collections/hot-new-products/products/nexus-5-hd-ultra-clear-screen-protector
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Duplicated:
From what I have gathered so far, the glas.tr seems to be the best choice for N5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DokoBG1:
That's a relief. Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kuyam:
Yes... but the piece of plastic has "NEXUS 5" written on it, so I wouldn't be too happy about it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] seanerixon:
Added to the list, what do you like about that screen protector? Just curious.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TecQuality:
Yesterday I've ordered the glas.tR, today SGP sent me the tracking, now i need the phone from Google!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Peanuts.:
I ordered my Glas.tr 2 days ago, and just received an email saying there will be delays, a further 3-5 working days. I live in Australia

:(

I had a feeling this was going to happen. Luckily I purchased temporary screen protectors on eBay. $1! Lol
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BravoMotorola:
Some reasonably cheap matte screen protectors

[Nexus 5 Accessories] 1stx2:
Super easy to install, comes in a 3 pack and is crystal clear. I dropped my galaxy note 2 from waist height the other day in rocks and it nicked the screen replacement in 3 places. I peeled the screen protector up and the screen was unhurt. That's good enough for me. Of course ymmv
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmmusale:
Spigen GLAS.t or tR

Can anyone share picture of Spigen GLAS.t or tR protector on N5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b.spec:
Had the Clarivue Anti-Glare screen protector on my N4, and it was great but the anti-glare coating starting to rub off, especially around where the keyboard on the screen is. The Spigen screen protectors seem popular and I'm assuming with the higher price point the quality of the screen protectors should last me a long time (here's hoping anyways).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Looking to buy this, however, the immediate availability worries me. How were they able to produce the screen protectors so quickly? Also, their listing has a fanmade Nexus 5 render. Not very professional!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nbsss:
same...

How is the Invisible Defender? http://www.amazon.com/NEW-RELEASE-I...575&sr=1-10&keywords=nexus+5+screen+protector
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aa10:
Most probably I will also order the SPIGEN Slim Armor - I guess it will work better with screen guards that do't cover the whole front screen :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] s33squar3d:
Spigen glas.t or glas.tr

if youre looking for a little bit of a deal on the glas.t or glas.tr you can try to get them from the spigen ebay store on auction, i wound up getting mine for $20 plus free shipping, should arrive on tuesday. i know amazon is supposed to get them back on the 5th but if youre looking to save a little $$ its worth a shot to try to win the auction for one!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nbsss:
What difference is there between glas.t and glas.tr ?

Is one thinner?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fleming222:
The Glas.TR has rounded edges and is slightly thicker (something silly and unnoticable like 0.17mm)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kornball:
Has anyone ever used one of those bubble-free matte screen protectors? I've linked one from i-Blason. Does something like this still allow you to put a case on the phone, or is it too thick? I was thinking of getting a Spigen Slim Armor/Neo Hybrid or an Acase Superleggera.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] demez.:
which is the best anti-glare (matte) screen protector?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BravoMotorola:
I guess they got dimensions ahead of time. And yeah I don't like the cheesy render either but I looked at their other stuff and it all had good reviews. I doubt they'd ship a screen protector that wasn't compatible with the phone. If you want I'll get back to you when I get mine.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bigup7:
How about his for a Tempered glass product: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly®-Temp...509357&sr=8-3&keywords=Nexus+5+tempered+glass

Seems like a good price too
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skinpipe:
i purchased that el cheapo orzly glass earlier today i figured for the price ill try it, i have bought cheap iphone glass costing the same as this in the past and had absolutely no complaints
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Khaiyan:
If you live in the UK, this is worth checking out: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FUPBPY0/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers

It's only £1.09 including shipping and they have it in stock now!

If you live in the US, this is the only anti-glare available at the moment: http://www.amazon.com/Ionic-Google-Screen-Protector-Anti-Glare/dp/B00FFGJOXS
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Michealtbh:
Definitely worth a try at that price
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bigup7:
£1.09 delivered for 6 to be precise :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Correct! Edited my mistake :)

Will do a review once I receive it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] demez.:
Unfortunately, I live in Italy.

I managed to buy this one: http://mediadevil.com/it/browse-by-...creen-matte-clear-edition-google-nexus-5.html

It's not cheap, and it ships on November 24, but it was the best I could find.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Khaiyan:
MediaDevil is excellent. I had their anti-glare on my Nexus 4, it was by far the best screen protector. However, I didn't quote them because, as you say, they only ship on November 24th. Seems like quite a wait and I'm sure people want a decent alternative in the meantime :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BenjRubenstein:
I bought those. Looks good, though I won't have my phone to install it on until tomorrow. It has cutouts for speaker, front camera, and sensors. Looks like it will cover the entire front (I measured against the Bugdroid case I got).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Just saw this. Thanks, would greatly appreciate that :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FloppyDrive:
I'm not sure about spending $30 on a Spigen screen protector. I have used a variety of protectors in the past and if you manage to get an annoying spec of dust underneath, the protector is usually ruined if you remove it. I assume the same for these "glass" ones. There's nothing worse than having a spec of dust permanently under your protector - my eyes would be continually drawn to it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
I've had glass one before, and they were be easily removed, gently, and carefully reapplied again.

I did it about 5 times total.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Tony_YYZ:
How is the screen sensitivity when using the Spigen glass protectors? I've always used the Steinheil protectors from Spigen without issue.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jspike397:
I am probably going to wait, and get one of those privacy protector screen protectors that they sell on Amazon. I have seen my friend put one on his iPhone, and I think that it would be handy to put on their. But in the meantime, Gorilla Glass 3 will do its job.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] honeybunchie:
Same. Bought mine on ebay though, it is cheaper for Canada. Where does it say it has these cut outs?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
I feel like even Gorilla Glass 3 is no match for pocket lint sadly =[
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
/\ have they really talked about what is better with GG3 over the first two?

I've had zero issues. I can't recommend spigen / SGP enough.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fuzai:
The glass screen protector is awesome! But all the one I owned from Note1, S3, S4 always seems to have bubble after a few months of using. It's like the screen protector is losing its hold. Something to consider
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 1lazysheep:
found this tempered glass screen protector on ebay and amazon. only 6H hardness compared to the 8H or 9H of the Spigens, but it also only costs $8.99 shipped instead of $30.

also not sure if this is tempered glass or not. it says so on the box, but they don't mention which layer is the glass layer in their diagram. i've sent them an message asking for clarification. at least it's rated at 6H. most other non-glass films are rated at 3H or 4H

I'm thinking about buying the best screen protector for my n5, avoiding any damage from accidental drops.

Which one do u suggest to me?

I've seen already Sgp glas.tR and Rhino Shield but i dunno which one is the best and if there are great alternatives too.

Anyone experienced with Rhino Shield? (there are screen protectors for n5 since today)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] squadz:
Bought those as well. Cheapest, and great reviews (on their other ones).

Does anyone know the difference between these two Spigen regular style screen protectors?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] crazyalaa:
Did anybody receive any of their GLAS screen protectors? I want to see if any of the GLAS screen protectors would work with SPIGEN's Ultra Hybrid case for the Nexus 5 and how good the feel on the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Lawliet:
Get one of the oleophobic ones.I have one for my Nexus 4 (from Spigen) and it works well. You might have to wait for Spigen to come up with them. Not sure about the other brands.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Stay Frosty:
Their screen protector is 10% of the cost of the device. That's absolutely ridiculous. No piece of film is worth that much.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lJesseCusterl:
Good thing it's not a piece of film, then.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Go through 10 $3 screen protectors that look and feel like garbage, or pay $30 for the best product available.

One of those you're a sucker, the other you're smart and protecting your investment.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jamezz23:
I'm gonna give this a try. Anyone have any experience this this particular one?

The genius that I am just wasted 3 Spigen screen protectors, now I have to get some more. Any tips on applying them without getting dust inside?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Shoops:
I received the Spigen Ultra Crystal and noticed it only has the cutout for the speaker. It does not have cutouts for the proximity censor. I know the first batch for the nexus 4 didn't have proximity censor cutout and it was causing problems. Anyone installed this on their nexus five and can tell me if it works properly?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Steam up the shower/bathroom, get some surgical gloves from Walmart, wipe the screen with 50/50 water alcohol (distilled is best) and a lint free cloth (Spigen's are the best, IMO), dust removal tape for any stragglers - profit.

I ordered a Spigen Clear, and a Tech Armor Matte - I like Matte.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
I've always used regular film screen protectors of various brands on my phones but purchased the Spigen tempered glass (the more expensive of the two) after using my girlfriend's S4 with a tempered glass protector. I really liked the low profile and natural feel. I grew to like it a lot so i figured the extra protection wouldn't hurt. It definitely is expensive as **** but i got 15% off by purchasing it bundled with the Spigen Slim Armor case so it was a little less of a hit. I should get it later this week!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
Please do a review with pictures when you get it in!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lensgrabber:
The screen protector that came with the SPIGEN Ultra Hybrid, in my opinion, sucks. Glad I didn't buy them separate. (not happy about the case either)

Back to Xtreme Guard it is. Got a few of those on various other devices and have always been happy with them. Current code is: spook80 which worked just a few minutes ago for 80% off. Two full body, two front screen shipped for $7.19.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
Will do, I promise, unless someone beats me to it :cowboy:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shr33kant:
I'm using the screen protector right now and the sensors are working fine ^_^. I can't recommend these ones enough. They feel really nice and smooth, none of that irritating rubber feel you get from wet protectors, you just can't game with those ones. Impossible to get those small movements required for accuracy due to the resistance.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] H-Cim:
Could you perhaps post some pictures so we can see how good it fits ? Would be awesome!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shr33kant:
Unfortunately I sold my other devices to get an N5 so I can't take any pics but it sits very very close to the edges of the device, no more than 1mm gaps from the top and bottom and about 0.75mm from the sides.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] toxicdrift:
clarivue ones are out on pre order, used the ultra clear ones on my z previously, was happy with them, now got the spigen glass tr

http://www.clarivue.com/lg-google-nexus-5-xt-tempered-glass-screen-protector-cover
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b.spec:
I had the Clarivue Anti-Glare on my N4 and I was not impressed. While it was great initially and the anti-glare coating helped reduce glare (obviously) and fingerprints/smudges, the coating wore out quickly after a month or two of use, especially around areas like the on-screen keyboard. It also scratched quite easily, and my N4 has countless hairline scratches and a couple of larger, noticeable ones.

I'm quite careful with my phone too, so the only damage it would take daily is being in my pocket or placed on a desk/table. They did replace my screen protectors once due to the lifetime warranty, but you still have to pay the cost of shipping each time. Personally, I don't want to worry about replacing my screen protector every few months, even if it was shipped to me for free. Food for thought.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fotaz:
I put the Invisiible Defender on mine and it seems to be decent quality. Cutouts for earpiece/sensors/camera are accurate. Doesn't go completely edge to edge though, maybe 1 mm short from the edges which is expected. Honestly though, I think the quality isn't as a good as the Spigen screen protectors.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] toxicdrift:
yeah, they r definitely not the best out there, my phone had hairline scratches aswell, but it was alright for the 3-4 months that i used the z, better then the cheap ebay ones, one of the reasons why i choose to go with spigen and glas this time around for the nex5. just posted them as the OP is making a list of all that are available i guess.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] miky1989:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] wormbaby11:
I'm having some trouble with the GLAS.tR. I just installed it, and the bottom left corner is not sticking, and there is a spot that's not sticking on the right side of the headset speaker. I think it's the adhesive. When I press on it, it disappear, but comes back as soon as I let go.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rif4trbo:
I'm having the same problem with my glas tr huge air bubbles at the bottom that won't go away. I emailed them and told them I want a refund
[Nexus 5 Accessories] copualt3:
Some bubbles Wil go away over a day or two..try applying pressure to the bubbles down for a couples of minutes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _untitled_:
unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. I have that screen protector as well, and it's been 24 hours and the bubbles haven't disappeared nor shrunk in size. I even left a textbook on the screen overnight to apply pressure, and this morning, when I took the textbook off, the bubble slowly expanded to its original size again.

http://ismooth.com/products/nexus-5-hd-ultra-clear-screen-protector what you guys think of ismooth? really considering it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] got_killed:
I have an iSmooth protector on my Galaxy Note 2. It actually looks great. It's hardly noticeable and all cutouts for speaker, FFC, and sensors are spot-on. Comes with three protectors (obviously). Coming from a ZAGG, it was a huge improvement. The Zagg constantly had marks from the s-pen and too much friction. The iSmooth is, well, smooth. It's not as smooth as glass so don't expect that. There is not much glare or degradation in screen quality, either. The lifetime warranty was really appealing to me as well. I'm looking to get one for my Nexus 5 soon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sainthalo:
Thanks code worked a treat. Massive discount. Ordered two full sets shipped to UK. Hope they ship ASAP, am denying myself full use of N5 till they arrive! :eek:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] realman21:
this GEARMAXX is very good too, I ordered from ebay, cut out with len, sensor, earphone,
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
I have no idea which screen protector would work best for my incoming nexus 5. I'm leaning towards the iSmooth because MediaDevil's will take too long to get to Canada.

But do they actually provide a benefit over say the Invisible Defenders of half the price?

My last LG phone came with a screen protector applied out of the box and only now do I realize how much of an advantage that was. After 3 years it's still barely visible.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] H-Cim:
I'm going for the iSmooth, after looking all those products up at Amazon & random youtube reviews. It seems the best price/value (3 dollars for one, considering 9 dollars for 3).

Perhaps the Glass is better but that is a lot more expensive and people don't really seem that happy about it in this thread (air bubbles).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dharlem39:
Has anyone tried those cheap as screen protectors that come in 6 packs from China ? I can't be the only one tempted.. I really don't find the need for such expensive screen protectors when this screen is so good already, I just want a lil something for peace of mind.. As long as it fits and looks fine.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gsrrr:
I've tried those for my old phones. It can be a hit or a miss. Some were fine, some were not cut cleanly so the edges were not straight, some had horrible rainbow effect/streaking.

After purchasing a nice brand name screen protector (Realook), I don't think I'd waste my money and time (takes so long to arrive from China) on those ebay ones again.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dharlem39:
With my galaxy s, I used cheap ones and they were great, I could put on a new one when I felt the protector was to scratched up, the texture seemed fine and I've dropped the phone plenty on concrete with no breaks at all. Then again I haven't used a brand name one before.
