Has anybody seen the BodyGuardz Pure line of glass protectors? I like that it isn't covering just the screen.

They have a Moto X version on the AT&T site, but it isn't listed on their own manufacturer's page.

[X 2014 Accessories] INFRNL:
I do not have any experience with these but I agree that the more coverage shown in the pic would be ideal. I may go to the ATT store and take a look.

My phone has been sitting at home all week and I am stuck out on the road, not sure when I will be home to get it:crying: If I decide to pick one up, I will try to post a pic of this
[X 2014 Accessories] benebra:
Thx
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
they were still pre order the other day. they are pretty high up there also.
[X 2014 Accessories] INFRNL:
Ok, i picked up the bodyguardz protector from att. I can post pics in a bit. They are as pictued though, they appear to cover the majority of the phone.

I'm not sure how thick these typically are but my guess is about a mm, idk. Also with the bodyguardz, you need to register for warranty. Initial protector is $35, if needing replaced it's $11/13 from what the att rep told me. Hope this helps some.
[X 2014 Accessories] bmolloy:
Where did you get the Otterbox case? I have not seen it clearly stated on their site that they are offering it for the 2014 version.
[X 2014 Accessories] razrielle:
I got it right at the Verizon Store, I think I've seen it on Amazon too.
[X 2014 Accessories] je2345:
tempered glass!

I just got an email back from Gadget Guard who's screen protectors are awesome and they said they will be available for our Moto X 2nd gen within the next 3 weeks.

Reference the MIME glass protector, this is the reply I got asking on an ETA -

--

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for checking us out! We are at the final testing stage of the new Moto X and expect to have it ready for shipment around mid October.

Best,

MIME

--

For my money, I will wait on a MIME, may go with a POS plastic cover until then. FWIW, MIME offers like a 40% or 50% discount if you buy the same piece of glass you have previously purchased from them. So, if you do drop it and glass breaks, spiders or whatever, contact them with your previous order # and they provide you a discount code.

I Ordered mine here http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-...oto-x2-x-1-Victara-XT1097-5-2/2046950074.html, but still waiting to arrive.
[X 2014 Accessories] l2and:
Hope you let us know how it works out!
[X 2014 Accessories] jzaslice:
I picked one up yesterday at AT&T, first glass protector I've had on any device. They installed it in store. It's pretty thick, so thick that it's raised above the bevel of my 'Supcase' case which is really annoying when the phone is face down, it's slides against the glass everywhere. And also the edges of the glass are slightly lifted, a space of air is still present along the sides. The chick who put it on assured me that it will eventually rest flush against the screen but hasn't happened yet. If any one knows if that's a common thing with glass protectors I'd like to read your input.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
thanks for buying this. please let us know how it turns out.

i went into at&t yesterday to get one of these. the lady said any discount on replacements would have to go through the manufacturer so i didn't buy.

the only time i have had any air under my glass was this last time on my og moto x. it was fit so exact that i did not get it just right. usually they have some give. i also replace my glass monthly. by then there are enough scratches on it and/or chipped and cracked so i have put on another. other than the one time, six total, i have never had any air under my glass. in fact it is quite fun watching the glue take hold.

there is dust under it, the glass is too big, the glass is not flat. those are the only reasons i can think of.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
i went ahead and ordered these two. amazon shipping from china to the states is pretty bad. they aren't held accountable for when they ship. which i why i never ordered before. but i am tired of waiting and i want to know that something is on the way.

utlk $10 with ship

vstn $16 with ship

the shipping goes down on the first one if you up the quantity. i didn't check the second.
[X 2014 Accessories] jzaslice:
Yeah its only on the edges I'll give an update in a few more days. And you can still get the warranty by using the receipt from att, you just upload it to BodyGuardz when you register!
[X 2014 Accessories] wera750:
The bodyguardz don't seat correctly. The taper of the screen are the culprit. I tried 2 in the AT&T store.
[X 2014 Accessories] Devans32:
Get the Mime Ghost Glass. Best I've ever used. Go in the bathroom and steam it up really good. Helps to control the dust particles flying around.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
thanks for the review... but it does not exist at the moment. not to mention they are still calling it the x+1. that is kind of a slap in the face. i never liked that name, nor did i ever think it would be called that. i know i am old and stubborn, but that company will not be geting my cash.
[X 2014 Accessories] Devans32:
Haha I know what you mean, but that's just a placeholder to let people know it's coming.

Please let us know what you think when you get them.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
will do. the vstn (Vostrostone) shipped last night from china. if all goes well i will have it in ten days.
[X 2014 Accessories] Syn Ack:
Definitely need something to protect the glass while maintaining the design of the phone without a case.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
i just oredered these two also.

yuga $10 free ship china

mega $10 free ship china

so that is four coming in. i am going to slap one on mine, one on my brother's, and i am going to try and send one to the guy that gave my brother and me the $50 codes. the last one will just have to wait on a review. but i get the feeling that at least one of these 9h protectors are going to be more like 4h, or will not fit right, and it will be tossed within the first day or two.
[X 2014 Accessories] cybercurator:
Wow. You're doing all of us a great service. I can't wait to hear your results.

Body Guardz

Definitely a do not buy:http://www.att.com/accessories/screen-protectors/bodyguardz-pure-tempered-glass-screen-protector-moto-x-2ndgen.html

Poor adhesive, glass is not flat, edges delaminating, and looks like crap.

Emailed for tech support, no response. I would think for a product that costs 4 times the competition, and is endorseed by AT&T it would be better...

Oh well.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
ouch. that is pretty bad.
[X 2014 Accessories] d.cortez:
i have the same issue with mine in literally the same areas... worst i've seen with bodyguardz.
[X 2014 Accessories] wera750:
Looking at the screen, it seems to taper at the edges. I'm curious to see if other glass protectors have the same issue.
[X 2014 Accessories] jzaslice:
Yeah I have to agree, i posted about it before and I should have known not to listen to the damn at&t rep saying that it would eventually seal all around even after i mentioned the slight curve to the screen.

I still have gaps around the edges and I didnt realize how easy it is to scratch the glass. but gotta live with this for now.

For the price i do expect alot better quality, definitely not worth the price.
[X 2014 Accessories] eksasol:
Sound like a reasonable expectation from AT&T, a reason why I don't do business with them.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
as am i. we will find out soon enough. i want to think that the thinner glass will be able to flex over the slight taper. but it is quite possible that it will not. there are five different ones ordered on this thread. hopefully one of them will work.
[X 2014 Accessories] INFRNL:
I have the same issue as the others on the bodyguardz protector as well. Definitely some kind of issue. I think its in the protector, i have a couple sm spots that have no air on the edges but thats it. You can squeeze the air out but comes back right away.

Also seems like there are recognition issues with use of the phone as well. Sometimes there is no/improper response when touching the screen.

Really wish they would have kept the 4.7" screen or 5" at most. This phone is a slippery sucker too:crying: i hate cases, but this one might have to get a jacket
[X 2014 Accessories] FLUFFYMANGOES:
what case is that? looks nice with the red accents
[X 2014 Accessories] mcevokm:
Hula Bumper, Crimson Red, off the moto site.

I think the black sets it off nicely, I was going with white face with red, until they backordered the white I tried the black.
[X 2014 Accessories] FLUFFYMANGOES:
can i see the back of the device? i wondering if the crimson hula case looks like ===> http://www.motorola.com/us/consumer...oto-X-2nd-Gen-by-Case-Mate/hula-cases-x1.html or ===>http://www.case-mate.com//moto-x-2nd-gen-cases/case-mate-moto-x-2nd-gen-hula-cases.asp
[X 2014 Accessories] termleech:
Heh it's not just AT&T. I bought the Verizon brand the day I bought the X. Guy put two of them on before going to talk the manager because of the edges. The manager said it would lay down with heat over time. What BS that was lol.
[X 2014 Accessories] contesauce:
I've had atnt one on since the week of the release and still have the issues, I know it's not going to fix itself. Waiting to find out if one of these other ones will work.

I've tried posting a review on atnts site several times to warn others but they keep rejecting it for different reasons without saying exactly why. I've written them to let them know the product is faulty but of course silence.
[X 2014 Accessories] idle0095:
Verizon sells glass screen protectors now. I just ordered one to try it.
[X 2014 Accessories] akellar:

I Have The Bodyguardz one on my phone

I have the Bodyguardz one from AT&T on my phone and it actually works and feels pretty good and it looks good too. Here are some pics.
[X 2014 Accessories] contesauce:
I wonder if they fixed the issue. Obviously if they have they haven't reached out to us who bought the first batch of faulty ones.
[X 2014 Accessories] joey2cool:
Wow

That sucks, who installed it for you cause I just bought the same and installed it myself and mine sticks on all four corners and all around the phone I posted some pics on page 7.

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

I actually called Bodyguardz first before I went and bought it from AT&T because I read all the problems you guys where having with yours and there response was that they had gotten some complaints but they would assure me that they had fixed the issues. So I went and bought it and so far so good.
[X 2014 Accessories] contesauce:
Well I'm glad someone got a working version. I've reached out to them again to ask, after seeing your post, if they had corrected the problem initially reported by users and if they would be replacing those faulty versions? No reply yet.
[X 2014 Accessories] joey2cool:
Did you register your screen protector, they actually advised me to register it when i called. So I did just that.
[X 2014 Accessories] contesauce:
Yeah I registered it and my wife's the night they arrived.
[X 2014 Accessories] wera750:
I'm hoping it's true that they are fixed. I tried 2 in the store and none of them laid down.
[X 2014 Accessories] mcevokm:
Registered, emailed tech support... They have not contacted me.

The photos posted a while back are not clear enough to tell if it is completely attached, the on edge looks like it isn't.

I installed the glass myself. This is the fourth phone I have used a glass protector on, the first with this issue. I woul dsid ewith the curve of the screen does not match the protector, however still no excuse to sell like that.
[X 2014 Accessories] contesauce:
They finally contacted me back yesterday. This is what they said.

Michael,

*Thank you for the feedback.*It does stop a little short of the beveled edge of the Moto screen, due to the rounded edges.* We do believe that our cut is the most protective available on the market. Most of our competition cuts much further in than we do, offering quite a bit of vulnerability. We will gladly have a replacement sent to you, however it will have the same cut, and fit. Please let us know if this is something that you would be interested in, and we will gladly assist you further.

So they are shipping me a replacement. We'll see if that one works any better.
[X 2014 Accessories] tgerbracht:
Has anyone found a simple normal screen protector that doesn't bubble on the edges due to the curve of the screen?

Bodyguardz from ATT store (Amazon?) the best?
[X 2014 Accessories] gref21:
Mime Ghost

MIme has the ghost glass available now! I know you didn't like the x+1 moniker so you might be happy to know it's called the Moto X 2nd Gen now. ;)

Ordered
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
lmao. thanks. let us know how it does. i stll have the four coming and i sold my x on swappa. i got kinda irritated at how much better the nexus is and sold it so i would be ready to buy.

update: when i get the four in... i am going to send them to the guy that got me the $50 off edu code. he will review and put them up here. i will take pics and compare the sizing of them on my brother's x before i mail.

psa: i sold it for 510 (buyer paid 520), and i paid 509 for it when i purchased. but forgot to add in the paypal fees to not lose money. so i cleared $495. it also sold in 63 minutes. because these things are on backorder.... people are paying full price and more on swappa.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
the bodyguardz one is no good. there are plenty of high end film screen protectors around amazon. they will work just fine. we are all still waiting on the thin tempered to come in from china. another week and we will have some answers.
[X 2014 Accessories] tgerbracht:
Thanks, not to derail but have a couple names? Mr. Shield is out for me.

[X 2014 Accessories] jzaslice:
Oh wow thats actually really cool of them. Did you contact bodyguardz directly via email? I wouldnt mind trying a new one. The user who posted pics of his screen actually looked like it fit perfectly.
[X 2014 Accessories] contesauce:
Yes I've been in contact with them directly, via their support email. They wouldn't exactly admit that it was a malfunction on their part but as you read they did agree that it could happen. So I'm hoping it'll be here this week and I'll post pics of my current one and the new one to see if it's any better.

[X 2014 Accessories] Infekxion:
Is it thinner width wise than those crappy Mr. Sheilds?

*edit* It's the same dimensions as the plastic the phone ships with, this could be a winner; two of them ordered

[X 2014 Accessories] andyman97:
My wife and i both got the new Moto x and i ordered 2 ghost glasses. I installed them last night and both have consistent lines of bubbles around the edges of both glasses. Clearly they need to revise these, people are not going to be happy with them until they do. I'll get done pics up asap.
[X 2014 Accessories] distortedloop:
I remember Zagg shields would always have some bubbles on installation, but they would go away after a day or two. Any chance for that with these?

Sent from my XT1095
[X 2014 Accessories] andyman97:
That's a lot of bubble around the edge of the protector. I think it's really unlikely that they will go away. The problem is that the screen surface is tapered, not flat. The ghost glass is flat, it doesn't taper with the phone. I've emailed MIME USA for a response on this. We'll see if I get one...
[X 2014 Accessories] FLUFFYMANGOES:
wow. i was expecting a lot more with MIME
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
i no longer have the mrshields to compare with.

i got the other one in from aliexpress. it was the exact same thing from the exact same seller. so either the guy accidentally sent me two of them, or the other one i bought from the other seller is misleading. either way it does not matter as i also got one of them in from amazon. it is also the exact same thing. only it is in a different package and is cheaper with shipping vs aliexpress.

i think my brother might have his other screen protector from moto at on his desk. if he does i will go over there with my micrometer and take measurments. after that the only thing left to know is whether or not it will seal to the curves. if all goes well i will have pics of it for yall by the end of the week.
[X 2014 Accessories] Infekxion:
I hope these work out and I appreciate you for being a tester. I'm sick of this wet protector and the way it degrades screen clarity also sick of waiting for the ones from Moto that I ordered 32 days ago. I also found something else interesting on aliexpress.

Sent from my XT1097 Victara
[X 2014 Accessories] contesauce:
OK guys I got my free bodyguardz replacement and it still has the same issue. It SEEMS slightly thinner but it doesn't taper on the ends and is still plagued by the bubble all the way around. Steer clear of the bodyguardz until they correct this or we hear a success story confirmed.
[X 2014 Accessories] mattjacobson:

Hope those edges set in over time... I should be receiving my GhostGlass in another day or so - will post my results once I get them on.

[X 2014 Accessories] d.cortez:
i picked up the Moto X 2014 screen protector sold at Verizon (3 in a pack) and i'm satisfied for now. it's a dry install type and it installed without a hitch. all the edges are sticking and no dust bubbles thank gosh.

So, are they going to send you a replacement when/if the issue is resolved? I'm curious because my ghost glass will be here when I get home from work and I'm wondering if it has the same issue will they replace it?
[X 2014 Accessories] d.cortez:
agreed, not acceptable for those interested in tempered glass (including me). just posting for anyone looking for a temporary solution until the tempered-glass issues are addressed. just need some scratch-my-screen protection, lol... :good:
[X 2014 Accessories] andyman97:
They didn't explicitly say they would replace it but they also didn't explicitly acknowledge there is anything wrong with the protectors. I'm sure they'll figure out a solution and replace them, though. The customer service email rep sounded pretty apologetic and like they would take care of it.

For anyone that has one coming, brace yourselves, expect to have the same issue until they work it out. That's part of the problem with early adoption. Same thing happened with my glas.tr on my nexus 5 right after launch a year ago.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
so my .edu guy never opened his x and immediately returned it. he is apparently doing the same thing as me. i am just glad that i am not alone.

anyways i have three of these things sitting here. i want to send them out to you guys. they are all the same thing. and i have at least one more coming. from the looks of it if the ghost glass didn't work out... these will not either. there isn't a whole lot of flex. but if you want one... pm me. i don't want to clutter this thread with peeps asking for one so

please pm me.

. i will give it until tomorrow night... midnight-ish. so peeps have some time to see the email and read. i don't need a reason or explanation. just send me a pm saying you want one. those that have contributed/commented the most to the thread will get first dibs. although if you already have a piece of glass... i ask that you consider those that do not have one and just not pm me. but if you do, then send me the pm. i will be as fair as i can.

once i have the four i will post the winners and then you guys can pm me your address. i will ship friday. all i ask is that you post your results so others know whether or not to buy.

to the guy that noticed i was doing the 360 dye and diy natural band... you get the pick of the litter. just let me know... i will recognize the name once you do.

Before I read anymore comments I have to comment that I've already threads else where that mention both the AT&T and Verizon tempered glass ones have a space of air because of the tapered sides and do not fit quite flush. I've been awaiting for Zagg to release one and hope that it fixes the issues with the AT&T one by BodyGuardz and whoever makes the Verizon one.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Hah I read your response on Android Central forums first.

This is what I am currently using as no one is making a Tempered Glass screen protector that doesn't have the gap on the edges. Zagg needs to hurry up already.
