I should point out that the more recent Yootech which I recently received did not have a warning tag about spots in the corners, and did not exhibit this phenomenon (unlike the first one for the other G4, which showed up exactly as warned). I think they may have improved the adhesive.
[G4 Accessories] LaTropa64:
Knock on wood but I've had gorilla glass phones since 2009 (Droid1) and I've never had a scratch on the screen. I don't get screen protectors at all.

I'm afraid to post this though because it means I might be taught a life lesson.
[G4 Accessories] tomatoguy:
I need one too, it's hard to find a good one to fit the screen perfectly.
[G4 Accessories] AvivEliyahu:
Still don't know if to get nillkin, orzly or amfilm since there is that bubble issue
[G4 Accessories] SpriteMite:
I got a Yootech tempered glass last week for my G4 and it's been working fine, but I'm not sure if it's my error or not that the left side has a small gap.
[G4 Accessories] megamanfre:
I replaced my skinomi side it seemed to be causing touch screen issues. I now have a nillkin pe+ protector on and it's very responsive.

My only real gripe with the pe+ is the blue tint in bright light. It's supposed to help with eye fatigue but it's really noticeably blue in bright light, and around the black bezel of the phone.

I got the skinomi and its decent. But I'm def having more issues with touch now that i've installed it. Might return it to amazon and get another.
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
Very disappointed. Just noticed a crack or a large scratch in the top of my tempered glass from TechMatte. I don't know how it could have possibly happened. I put it in my pocket all by itself (front pocket) and I haven't dropped the phone at all. I'm wondering if the hot screen cracked it. I think a crack is much more likely than a scratch as I don't know what could have scratched it. I already got a replacement a couple of weeks ago (they were great about that) because it cracked during installation, but this is making me wonder if it will really protect my phone.
[G4 Accessories] megamanfre:
What I found to work is leave the case on (as long as it doesn't encompass the whole front) and install the glass like that. For the most part with a decent case manufacturer, like Spigen, it'll fit Damn near perfect on the sides. My upper portion of the glass it's just slightly lower, but I can deal with that, it's the sides that really irk my OCD lol
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
Thanks for the tip.

which of the two is the BEST tempered glass screen protector for G4 H818N "Nillkin", or "Orzly"?
[G4 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
This having "touch issues" with the thicker glass, check out my iloome review, it's .1mm and works fine; but then again I had no issues with the thicker one either

[G4 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Just got my LG G4 and ended up going with the Orzly tempered glass protector. I installed it last night and it is a perfect fit with no touch screen sensitivity issues or areas that didn't stick. It looks flawless.

For those who are having issues with the areas near the 4 edges not sticking, it's likely due to not cleaning the screen in those areas well enough with the supplied alcohol pad. In my previous experience with installing tempered glass screen protectors, the most crucial part for a perfect install is to thoroughly wipe down the screen, from edge to edge, with the alcohol pad. Then remember not to touch the screen AT ALL once it is wiped clean. Failing to clean it well enough or then touching the screen afterwards will leave skin oil on the screen and you will have issues.

A few other tips I've learned over time which have allowed me to have a perfect install every time:

1) Remember to do it in a bathroom that is steamed up from a running hot shower. Doing this will make the air more dense and force any dust/dirt particles in the air to fall to the floor. This essentially creates a make/shift dust free area which will allow you to clean the screen without fear of dust landing on it before you can get the screen protector on.

2) To get 100% perfect alignment, place the screen protector (with the backing still installed) on the phone and align it exactly where you want it. Once it is aligned, take 2 pieces of clear scotch tape and tape the screen protector to the phone so that both pieces of tape are on the same side allowing you to lift the screen protector up like a door on a hinge.

3) Once you get the proper alignment and the screen protector hinge taped, lift the screen protector and use the alcohol pad to THOROUGHLY clean the screen. Once you think you've wiped it enough, wipe it again. Seriously. Then take the supplied microfiber cloth and wipe any remaining alcohol from the screen (remembering not to touch the screen with your bare skin). Once you confirm that the screen is 100% clean and spot free, pull the backing off the screen protector and allow the tape hinges to guide it back onto the screen. Once it is laid flat on the screen, let it adhere by itself for a few seconds.

4) Lastly, take the supplied little squidgy thing and slide it up and down the screen, making sure to get every edge, and ensure any air bubbles are properly pushed out. Once this is done, remove the tape and VOILA! Enjoy your perfectly installed screen protector.
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
Thanks for the tape idea. I never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense!
[G4 Accessories] chriskwarren:
Yep the "hinge method" has been reliable for me. Lots of demo videos on youtube for various glass protectors using this method.
[G4 Accessories] ExTREmE99:
i have a skinomi protector, installed just fine without any bubbles. my word of caution though. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL WIPES. this removes the stock oleophobic layer on the screen. yes, it does make for an easier install, but it's not necessary. by using any sort of alcohol wipe, you are destroying the stock glass surface (temporarily. there are products out there to restore it though). fine if you're going to use screen protectors forever, but the slickness and anti-smudging properties will be gone. ive never once used an alcohol wipe on any of my last 5 phones with glass protectors and have had no issues. after applying the protector, i do hold each corner down to allow the heat from my fingers heat up the adhesive for a stronger tack.
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
At first I loved the amFilm glass screen protector. It covered from edge-to-edge except for the cutout at the top and I was able to position it perfectly the first time. However, after about 3 weeks of use, it has a crack near the top and quite a few scratches throughout the protector. I know that that's what it's for, to protect the glass underneath, but I'm SO VERY CAREFUL with my phone. I've not dropped it once, I put it in an EMPTY pocket with the glass facing my thigh, I don't rest it on the screen, etc. So it shouldn't have any damage whatsoever. On my G3, I had a competitor's glass screen protector on for an entire year without any scratches or cracks whatsoever. I'd have purchased from that company again, but they don't yet have one for the G4 (or at least didn't when I got this one). I'll be replacing it as soon as I find an alternative.
[G4 Accessories] sangsanh:
Pleson tempered glass from Amazon. Fits all around even the top. Only a small cut out on the top for the camera and speaker. No issues so far in terms of quality of the screen protector, no bubbles. Touch screen not affected.
[G4 Accessories] BDestroyer8418:
Thanks for the pictures might replace my Skinomi glass with the one you got or this they look to be the same. I believe my Skinomi is the problem. The new G4 I got is better but didn't really have much issue with no screen protector so will give one of these a try. They both have the cutouts I was looking for.

[G4 Accessories] donnybright:
I picked up the Yootech one for 7.99. I like the cut outs, one for the camera and one for the speaker. No touch screen issues and installation was easy.
[G4 Accessories] clockcycle:
Something similar happens to the Tempered Glass protectors on the Nexus 6, it is attested to the curves on the display and them not sticking, they call it "halo"..
[G4 Accessories] sangsanh:
Try pushing down and hold those spots for about 15 seconds. Try it again some later time. I had 1 spot like that but then the push down method got rid of it. No problems since.
[G4 Accessories] psynonamous:
I ended up going with a glass protector from Skinomi based on the reviews and it was on sale and I was (am) somewhat broke, but I've got a great camera that also gives me access to the web and apparently makes phone calls too. Really loving the G4

I used some Stoner glass cleaner on the phone and wiped it down and the protector went on really easily and fits great, there is a small bubble spot after using the squeegee and holding down on the area for several minutes. After getting mad I finally got around to putting the case on and noticed that the bubble was small enough to be covered by the screen. I went with Supcase this time, the Skinomi screen protector fits with the Unicorn Beetle (still a crazy name) - the thing I hate about the case though, is it's built-in screen protector. It's a thick/heavy plastic one that's glued to the front part of the case, but due to the curves it hovers above the screen. So every push, knock, swipe, and drag feels like there is a balloon between my fingers and the phone... I'm going to give it a day or two to see if it's something that will break-in, if not I'm popping it off. That and the belt clip isn't quite like my old Otterbox Defender, with that I could turn my phone with the back in and the display sticking out so I could use it as a room clock while it charged, the Supcase belt clip only works with the screen facing inwards. Still a nice little case though

Hello

I took an Olixar 0,26 mm as it was the only one available where I ordered my Spigen Slim Armor (on Mobilefun as I am French and it's one of safe/not too slow sites). Haven't noticed any of you talking about this one (but I might have missed a link) so I give you my feelings. Received the phone 3/4 weeks ago and used it with the original film till I put on that screen protector a few days ago. It's my 1st LG (after SG Note 1 II 3) and 1st tempered glass (after other films).

I installed it as it was told, it was easy until I tried to peel off the protective layer over the glass that... seems to have never existed :) No bubbles, but that little "something in the corners" not disturbing me.

The front sensors are not covered. The screen looks exactly the same to me. The fingers slide easy on the protector, knocks work well, it doesn't feel thick. Maybe it gets a bit dirty but I'm not really carefull. The only thing I still feal uneasy with is when I want to open notifications with finger sliding under the speaker. It falls exactly where the glass is cut and I miss it sometimes. I think I'm going to get used to it soon.

I don't know if it's worth its 13£/19€ or is very different from others so that's all I can tell you :)
[G4 Accessories] Sir Shark:
Hi all!

I've seen some people refering sliding down the notification isn't very pleasant with some tempered glass cut outs...

I still haven't received my Nilkin tempered glass, but after using my G4 for a week, I know You don't have to start the swipe at the edge of the screen nor under the speaker.

You can swipe down in the middle of the screen (it'll be a 2 step swipe, though) or swipe on the top left corner, where there's no cut outs...

Hope it helped!
[G4 Accessories] jerflash:
People are still buying other then the Skinomi glass? There really is no reason not to buy it. Nice small cutout and goes edge to edge all around. I dropped my phone with it on face down... No cracks!
[G4 Accessories] sbutera:
I've got the Orzly. Had it now for about a month. Install was easy, no issues there. After 2 weeks with no drops I noticed a small hairline crack along the bottom. Over the next 2 weeks I've seen small chips along the edges of the phone on the left side and in the upper lefthand corner. Like the glass is peeling from the adhesive. It's weird. I'm wondering if it's a defect. Seems like new ones appear everyday. I'll contact Orzly to see what they have to say.

May be looking for a new tempered glass protector.
[G4 Accessories] misteurz:
I've bought an orzly too.

After one week, appeared 1 Little Crack, then another and another. The phone had never fall.

The seller sent me another one, and i have now the same problem with the second one. The seller refunded me today.

I'm now waiting for a tinxi one

[G4 Accessories] MrDerrickC:
I had a Nilkin one on my G4, dropped it from my lap onto the floor during a flight (was seated down) and somehow it managed to chip the protector on the end and developed a hairline crack. This is the second time in the same situation that this has happened with screen protectors that I've had.

Going to get a Skinomi as I don't like the large cutouts as with the Nilkin.

Been using Supershieldz since the end of May and it's survived a few drops. One thing is some corners had the rainbow colored bubbles but they went away after just about 2 weeks.

I recommend them.

Does anyone know who makes the Verizon branded one? That's what I bought (since I get 25% off accessories I just got it when I got the phone). Only had the phone for about a week but I barely tell it's there.

I bought this one form Ebay for $1.99. It looked good, went on nice, edge to edge, but 3 corners bubbled / halo'd. Waiting on my xtremeguard still..

XtremeGuard Tempered Glass Protector

So I got my delivery of the 3 Xtremeguard Glass Protectors I ordered at 90% off.

First attempt the protector came with a corner slightly peeling on the very top right, decided to use it anyways. Both corners on top and lower left would not stick properly, even with pressure the left side top would re-create a halo that kept growing.

The second stuck on better but same issue on top left (attached pictures 67 & 71). I removed it (cracked it in the process) and re-cleaned with the alcohol wipe and micro cloth.

Tried the third and last protector. It has a slight issue on the lower right creating a small halo (attached pictures 73). I keep applying pressure and it goes away and comes back, but it looks promising. During the install I get a call, as soon as I answer, before bring it close to my ear the phone screen turns off. I finished the call and looked at the phone to hang up, but the screen would not come back on. It seems the design on this one also covers the proximity sensors (This is the same problem I had with their Motorola Nexus 6 glass screen protector design). I was hoping it wouldn't be an issue and assumed they had done product testing before-hand.

The cutout for the speaker almost doesn't align as well. They are at least edge to edge.

I've used their protectors on just about ever phone and tablet I've owned. I usually give good reviews and recommend their products. This is disappointing, I was really hoping for it to work. I can not recommend them until they revise their design.
[G4 Accessories] jesamyn:
I've had three now, so here's my short rundown of each.

first one, Skinomi:

Liked the smaller cutouts at the top that only left the speaker and light sensor open. It really altered the feel of the screen, and swiping wasn't smooth at all as my fingers kept "catching" against it. Actually, I pretty much couldn't swipe at all. This wasn't an issue with the bare screen before I put it on, or after I removed it. It also hasn't been an issue with subsequent screen protectors. I think I'm the only person who's had this issue, so maybe mine was defective, if that's even possible.

second one, amFilm:

Didn't like the cut-out at the top, but I could live with it. This one was the easiest to get installed cleanly, perhaps because it was thinner. No weird feeling of my fingers "catching" when swiping. Went on beautifully. Unfortunately, it cracked the first time it was inadvertently pressed against an edge. There was nowhere near enough pressure to have damaged the screen had I not had the protector on it.

third one, PLESON:

The cutouts are perfect. It hasn't cracked yet. Seems a little more prone to fingerprints and smudges, but I can live with that. I did get a couple of small bubbles, though I blame myself for that since I didn't realize that I should try the press-and-hold tactic instead of just the 'smooth it out' tactic. This one has worked best for me so far.
[G4 Accessories] sangsanh:
I ordered a few G4 screen protectors from them too. They either sent me the G3 ones or their first design sucked. It left about a 2mm gap all around. I didn't bother arguing with them after they said that's how their screen protectors are.

Had a similar problem with the ones for the Note4 too. First sets fit well. Second set cutout for the home button was off.

I don't recommend buying anything from them. I will never buy anything from Xtremeguard again.

BTW, the cutout for the speaker looks a bit too high.
[G4 Accessories] phongrip:
very good

. I can confirm there are no bubbles and it covers the phone edge to edge. I suspect many other brands will not have this covering the phone edge to edge but we have used a 0.18mm korean glass for this model which does the job perfectly fine. :p
[G4 Accessories] gtofan350:
I realize this thread is dead but I figure I'd throw in my experience with IntelliArmor. I recently purchased a tempered glass screen protector from amazon. When I received it, everything worked out great! The glass installed perfectly and I couldn't have been any happier. About 2 days later I notice a small chip on the left hand side of the protector. I immediately peel it off so it doesn't scratch the phone glass. I call intelliamor and they offer to send me a replacement at no cost, really cool to see a company stand by their product like that. They just asked me for my order number and then had one shipped out the next day. Well 4 days pass and I receive the new one in the mail. Well to my dismay, the new one was bent during shipping and needless to say the glass inside was shattered. I called Intelliarmor again and I told them what happened. The gentleman on the phone wasn't the least bit surprised and mailed out another one to me. My only complaint would be the packaging. If you're going to mail something as brittle as a tempered glass protector, put it in a cardboard box and not a flimsy padded envelop. Otherwise, their customer support is really good, I recommend them. I can't fault them for shoddy shipping services by USPS.

I'm used to matte/anti-glare screen protection films since I switched to touch screen device. I can view better on bright room and/or under sunlight. Also I feel that matte finish have smooth finger swipe than glossy ones I feel the swipe fringer drag or stick. Dont know if is an personal, sensorial issue.

The so called 'tempered glass film', does that come on matte/anti-glare finish? I do not like the glossy/shiny finishes (on a screen protect film, oem glass finish is OK for me)
[G4 Accessories] InflatedTitan:
I ordered the yootech tempered glass.. Went on beautifully, fit great and cutouts were minimal. Felt great and looked great. But after about 5 days the corner looked chipped. Ran with it and noticed after a few more days the center edge had another chip... After a few more days another corner chipped, and the other existing one started to have a crack. The device has never been dropped or mishandled, and i damn sure don't wear skinny jeans lol.. I emailed yootech customer support and they sent me an email back within 5 minutes. They're sending me a free replacement and I got the confirmation and within minutes.

Hopefully the next one holds up BC it would be perfect. Yootech customer support is unreal. Very satisfied.
[G4 Accessories] Stories:
I bought a cheap one called TechMatte (or amFilm) on Amazon and it works well. The cutout for the earpiece and FFC is a bit big, but the fitment of the rest of the piece is actually really quite good. Exactly the right size and no bubbling or spots where it doesn't sit flush. No problems from the curve at all. Feels nice so far. (1 week of use)

anyone else having issues with the proximity sensor being covered? I've tried two separate tempered glass protectors and had issues with making calls since the glass covered the light sensor. I need to find a glass protector that doesn't cover the light sensor.

Yes,nillkin 9+ glass is the most reliable one,could rely one their 0.8mm glass definitely... which would beat spigen and skimino easily...

I may just simply buy Spigen tempered glass for G3 because they have no G4 version, and I am satisfied the one on my G3. The only concern is the front is a little bit curved.

Edit:

I have answered myself.

I bought a tempered glass plate for G3 (Reiko) and I am pleasantly surprised it fits rather well.

In short, G3 glass plate also fits G4 especially the cutouts are the same.

If you live in NYC or tri-state area, you can take N/R to 28th and Broadway to buy ($10)
[G4 Accessories] Knowbody42:
I bought a GPEL one.

I think it's thinner than most, so I'm not sure how well it would protect against impacts compared to others, but it fits edge-to-edge and only has a small cutout for the speaker, and it's also easy to move my fingers across it.

Actually, It fits so well you almost can't tell it has one.

Just applied my Yootech tempered glass. It's very thin, thinner than most and it fits well. No issues with bubbles or veins at the corners. Super smooth.
