$5.00 (US) Skinomi Tempered Glass

Skinomi tempered glass is on sale for $5.00 (US). Just ordered and with shipping it was like $8 (US). Really like this glass, has a good feel to it and great clarity. Used it on my Note 3 and LG G3.

Awesome, that is the one I ended up ordering as well. Wanted a tempered glass protector that went edge to edge, only had cut out for speaker up top and a bonus if opening for the light sensor (with no weird cut out up top). This hits all those points!

Quick question, how hard was it to put on? Any tricks to align it to your screen on 1st try? :)
[G4 Accessories] jerflash:
Well i have done quite a few of these as i switch phones every 6 months lol. This one was actually really easy since it is edge to edge and you can clearly see when the edge of the screen is. I start up top and make sure the speaker is lined up first. Then slowly let it stick down...if you see it off lift it back up and reposition
[G4 Accessories] woozzy101:
awesome! Any chance of getting a side angle closeup shot to see how it sits on the glass / edge of screen?

thanks
[G4 Accessories] woozzy101:
Sweet, thanks for the photo.

Looks clean and looks it will give awesome screen protection. Once I put my bumper case on it, it will look flawless and will be extremely hard to even notice that its on.

Now only if Best Buy did not delay my order and I would have my received G4 today like I was supposed to :(
[G4 Accessories] jerflash:
Should have got an unlocked model!
[G4 Accessories] Synchorizer:
Question guys

Should I get a screen protector or a case?

I broke my S3's glass by dropping a large object on top of it, probably won't ever happen again.

However, I am much more susceptible to dropping out of my pocket, such as when I run.

Would a case or a screen protector help me more in terms of drop?

I don't want a shattered screen, I can deal with a scuffed back or bezels, as I can replace the back and bezels aren't noticable, but a cracked screen is abysmal.
[G4 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
i put this one on mine today and fits perfectly!!! i am very pleased for $5!!!
[G4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Ordered the 0.1mm iloome screenmate light, and it didn't even feel like tempered glass. Felt more like just a hard dry install PET film.

The worse part was that there were bubbles after installation - pick your poison - either on the edges, top, or bottom of the phone.

Mysteriously, their product page has disappeared from Amazon and listed as "out of stock" on their own website. I think they realized they had a defective product.

Waiting on refund now :(
[G4 Accessories] woozzy101:
Whew, I cancelled that order before it shipped because I ended up believing it would be too thin and their amazon page disappeared which I thought was bad news.
[G4 Accessories] :
My gadgetgaurd black ice one does not fully sit on the screen in the top and bottom do to the curves on the phone... Same issue after a a second apply.
[G4 Accessories] pitbullmommy45245:

Anyone had any good luck with the tech21 screen protectors? I've always loved tempered glass, but we only have the tech21s at work. Using a tech 21 and otterbox defender at the moment
[G4 Accessories] usefulidiot127:
I ordered and installed the amFilm 0.2mm 2.5D Tempered Glass Screen Protector for my Verizon G4. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJS2O0E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00) Looks like it is already cheaper at 8.99 than the 12.98 I paid for it. I'm usually notoriously bad at installing screen protectors. The directions and kit supplied with this product were perfectly adequate. I set up a bright flash light on the screen during installation which really helped me find a few specks of dust that I wouldn't have seen with the naked eye. Anyways - installation went perfectly. No bubbles or imperfections. This seems to offer sufficient protection for my needs. My only complaint would be that the cutout for the front camera/speaker looks a little awkward. I think I would rather have the entire protector be a bit smaller and an even square that doesn't cover the top bar at all.

Regardless, I'm quite happy with it. Feels almost the same as stock and no touch screen issues before/after installation for me.
[G4 Accessories] MicroMod777:
I agree, I got this protector also and it gives a silky smooth touch, but I can't stand that to upper speaker cutout. At first when I would slide the notification bar down, it felt like it the glass was cutting my finger a bit. After a day now I'm use to it. I'll probably develop a callus on my finger from swiping it down because of the glass edge.

I'd order some other glass protector, but these things are so dang hard to get on without any bubbles I'm to scared to get screwed again like with the other defective brand (VIMVIP® LG G4 Tempered Glass Screen Protector) that I had to return. Guess I can live with a bloody finger! :D
[G4 Accessories] Rick_Deckard:
I just got the IQ Shield Tempered Glass, the only tempered glass that fits all the screen!

[G4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Actually the Skinomi does too (pictures were posted earlier in this thread)
[G4 Accessories] chrisokaly:
has anyone come across a tempered glass screen protector for the G4 that comes with an install kit? I've seen these before, where there is almost a hinge type contraption inside the box, and I can definitely say it makes a huge difference in application. ILUVITT makes one for the iphone 6 which i installed for my wife.... easy as can be.
[G4 Accessories] daddymikey1975:
You can use scotch or masking tape to make a hinge.
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
There's one on T-Mobile site that has an install kit.

http://www.amazon.com/Protector-amFilm-Tempered-T-moible-Lifetime/dp/B00XJS2O0E

Best one Ive used
[G4 Accessories] fachadick:
Has anybody who has one of these noticed that it solves the issue with polarized sunglasses - where the screen goes black if you're viewing it in landscape mode?

I've read that tempered glass protectors are polarized the other way, so that it works with polarized sunglasses in landscape.
[G4 Accessories] LancerV:
Yeah than you would just have a pitch black screen. No way to fix polarization besides getting a different screen that isn't polarized
[G4 Accessories] Th3Bill:
I'm with LancerV on this one. The AmFilm one is really nice. I got it last night. Came with wet and dry wipes, dust removal strips, installation card, and microfiber cloth. Took 2 minutes to install correctly and looks great overall. I did manage to get a small piece of dust under the right lower corner that causes it to stick up near the edge of the device (not screen), but after dealing with a 1/8 inch halo around my entire screen with the Note 4, I'll take it and not fuss with it.

Glass doesn't affect touch at all and feels silky smooth. At 0.2 thick, it's also the thinnest tempered glass screen protector out there I've seen (most are in the 0.3+ range). Not to mention, at $8.99, ya can't really go wrong.
[G4 Accessories] Wrightperspective:
I got this one by GadgetGuard at a Sprint store. It comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee. No reviews on Amazon for the G4 version.but other reviews online of their tempered glass for other phones were great! It does come with an install kit.

[G4 Accessories] fachadick:
Apparently certain tempered glass screen protectors can have an effect on the polarization. I've been trying to find a solution to this (because I don't want to give up either my phone or my sunglasses), and I saw some pics from a few years ago from a guy who fixed this on his tablet with anti-glare tempered glass screen protectors. They changed the polarization from horizontal to 45 degrees - so instead of it turning black when viewed in landscape, it only turned black if your head or the tablet was turned at 45 degrees. Unfortunately they never said what brand it was.

edit - here's what I'm talking on a diff phone. That brand doesn't make protectors for the G4 though;
[G4 Accessories] BDestroyer8418:
Anyone that has the Skinomi protector tell me if you have any issue with the screen adjusting the brightness on its own. I'm having a issue where the screen is set at 100% then when the screen auto dimms for being inactive and and you touch the screen it drops down to 70%. Auto Brightness is OFF. I just did a factory reboot and the issue is still there this time is jumped to 80% while I was just browsing the web.

I'm not sure if its the screen protector or if its the phone and should exchange it. Anyone else have this issue with any other Screen protector just trying to see if its one or the other.
[G4 Accessories] Uncle Lizard:
I have the same screen protector without any issues. Might be the device.
[G4 Accessories] HighTowerDV:
Choose between these two protectors

Can anyone make a recommendation between these 2 screen protectors? My choices are limited as Amazon Canada does not carry the same range or brands as Amazon US. One is from Orzly and the other from Casebase.
[G4 Accessories] BDestroyer8418:
Thanks already setup a replacement with Tmobile. They waived the $20 fee. This better be a Brand New device not some returned phone etc being shipped. With it being so new it should be new. Hopefully the new one will be better.
[G4 Accessories] MicroMod777:
Thats why I returned my defective G4 for a full refund and purchased another new one at a store. Back in January I ordered online a brand new TMO G2 and they sent me a CPO G2. WTF. Shipped that right back. Tmo's shipping and returns dept. is pretty shady IMO. But I guess thats why I get kick @$$ low rates.
[G4 Accessories] BDestroyer8418:
It will go back for sure if its not New but how to tell if was a brand new set for sure ?

Maybe original box with matching imei numbers if anything else I'm calling and sending both back not spending $600+ plus for used or defective phone.
[G4 Accessories] fachadick:
Bump on this? Does anyone with a glass screen protector have a pair of polarized sunglasses they can look at their phone through?
[G4 Accessories] MicroMod777:
After I activated that G2, on my line it said CPO G2.
[G4 Accessories] daleybox:
I got the Skinomi one and it is the best I have every used. It was the easiest installation I have ever done and it comes in great packaging with an alcohol prep pad, microfiber cloth, and a lint removing film. I dropped the screen protector on the screen after lining up the top and as it laid on the screen it pushed out any bubbles by itself and went on without any bubbles. The easiest I have ever installed. It feels great and I would highly recommend it.

Anyone used the ZAGG Glass yet?
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
Zagg has always been overpriced.
[G4 Accessories] usefulidiot127:
The corner of my amFilm screen protector started randomly flaking off yesterday, less than a week after installation. No drops/impacts, no damage to the phone in general. I contacted them and they are sending a replacement.

Unfortunate since I really had achieved a perfect installation. With little bits of glass flaking off now I'm worried that this debris could actually scratch the real screen.
[G4 Accessories] MicroMod777:
If its the corner you should be fine. Mine did the same thing on the upper right corner.
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
Though they have a lifetime warranty. I would use it. It may not damage your phone sitting there, but it might not protect the screen either when you need it and isn't that the point of having a screen protector? I stopped using the plastic ones (Zagg et al). The Zagg offered the best protection, but hated the rubbery feeling and how it detracted from the touch screen feeling. The plastic ones were awful. They felt cheap, scratched easily, and got dirty. I love the glass ones. Feels like it's naked yet offers great protections. I had one on my G3 and now on my G4.
[G4 Accessories] fatboypup:
my skinomi came today gonna put it on when I get home from work ......
[G4 Accessories] jerflash:
The Skinomi is pretty much perfect
[G4 Accessories] facetubespam:
So, you haven't and have contributed nothing. Cool.

I don't care about the price if it works flawlessly compared to all the other failed tempered glass ones.
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
Actually, I did contribute something. I said that Zagg was overpriced. Not only that, they are a pain-in-the-butt to put on, have tons of bubbles, and leave a rubbery texture to your phone. You can get equal or better quality for less. That was what I was contributing. But thanks for your two cents. :)
[G4 Accessories] munkypoo7:
He's referring to the ZAGG Glass, as this is the Tempered Glass thread. The ZAGG Glass doesn't leave a rubbery anything, it's slick as any other tempered glass. Plus they're super easy to install with the yellow tabbed paper they use to align it with screen.

Granted, is it over priced? Sure. but getting them is really convenient, most people have a Best Buy near them and can pick one up easily. Some people prefer to pay more and get the product same day / pick one up in hand. Different strokes and all.

Anyways, as for the quality, they're just like every other protector, slippery, good coating, large cutout up top unlike the IQShield or Skinomi. Great for your average person, but you're better off getting an IQShield or Skinomi shield as it covers more of the screen :)
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
Thanks. I realize it was the glass thread, but I never really liked what they put out (back in the beginning either) and they are expensive. I can have one for less than $10 overnight from amazon. I get it that some people want to spend the money at best buy for instant gratification, but their overpriced and best buy will try to sell you their installation service as well.
[G4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Deliberately bought a tempered glass protector (Nillkin) with the cutout as I believe the sensor(s) and camera shouldn't be covered.

YMMV, of course :good:
[G4 Accessories] eoneill40:
Yeah, I wanted the camera and sensors to be clear too so I bought a CaseBase one. £9.99 sterling on amazon.co.uk but as the phone cost me €733 it's a small price to pay. The cutout is just the right size for the camera, sensor and speaker.

The pack contained,

2 Tempered glass protectors.

1 Medical swab for cleaning.

1 Cloth (small)

2 Stickers (for removing any leftover dust)

1 applicator for squeezing out bubbles.

Have to say though, the protector pretty much got rid of it's own bubbles, went on very easily and I used the applicator to remove a small bubble in one corner. I'd recommend it though it is the first one I've ever used.

Hope thats of some help to anyone considering getting one.

Cheers.

Eoin.
[G4 Accessories] LancerV:
Yeah this one already broke seems kinda weak
[G4 Accessories] fatboypup:
I like only the speaker and sensors cut out cut out
[G4 Accessories] MicroMod777:
Did it protect your touch screen?
[G4 Accessories] ludow:
You can always trust Nillkin. I have used over 20 tempered glasses from them, on different phones. :)
[G4 Accessories] spotmark:
Just installed the AmFilm one myself, and my post could be a duplicate of yours. One tiny piece of dust, but other than that, it's beautiful.
[G4 Accessories] fachadick:
You don't happen to have a pair of polarized sunglasses, do you? If you do, are you able to see the display in landscape through them?
[G4 Accessories] spotmark:
I do, and I was going to comment about that. With the screen protector on, I can see the screen again. It's not great, but at least I can make it out.
[G4 Accessories] fachadick:
Fantastic - I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks!
[G4 Accessories] Th3Bill:
LOL! Isn't that just a b****? Haha. I love the protector so far. I will admit that with it being thinner than any other I've ever used, I am almost skeptical that it will fully protect my phone if dropped on the screen (like the good ol Skinomi always had on my previous phones). It is 1/3 thinner than most out there. Ultimately, only time will tell. I bought this based on how nice the one on my daughter's M8 installed and looked. So far, I'm happy with it :)
[G4 Accessories] 06stang:
Just a reminder: don't buy XtremeGuard protectors. The glass protector has a huge gap around it. The Verizon one fits perfectly on the phone. It's expensive but at least it's edge to edge.
[G4 Accessories] HaVoK C89:
Is the skinomi protector supposed to be edge to edge? The one I received is not and I wasn't sure if I got a defective item or not...

Sent from my LG-H810
[G4 Accessories] Uncle Lizard:
It's not all the way to the edge to allow for a case to be put on
[G4 Accessories] leebo:
I agree, especially the camera. Anyone who knows a little bit about photography and cameras should understand. Do most glass protectors mention how much they cover in their online descriptions?
[G4 Accessories] abondkelly:
thx! Melkco 9H tempered glass!
[G4 Accessories] munkypoo7:
It isn't edge to edge, it's going to have about a .75mm gap all around to be "case-friendly".
[G4 Accessories] HaVoK C89:
Well nuts. Looks like I applied if wrong... That's upsetting lol.

[G4 Accessories] Snakecharmed:
I got the Skinomi Tech Glass. It's a wonderful screen protector and the glass is slicker than the G4's bare screen, but it looks like I got some dust underneath the screen protector and the corners appear to have trapped air bubbles, though those are dissipating with time. I did get it aligned pretty well on the first try though.

I still hate screen protectors. The point at which I install a screen protector always ends up being the point when IDGAF about the phone anymore because I have never installed one of these things perfectly. The dust underneath this one makes me want to (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻.
[G4 Accessories] LancerV:
Nope

Skinomi customer support is great, just email them and they will send you a new one
[G4 Accessories] Snakecharmed:
Unfortunately, the FAQ on their page says that's not covered.

Q: How do I qualify for a replacement?

A: Our Lifetime Replacement Guarantee applies to any properly installed TechSkin™ film that have become scratched, torn, or damaged while protecting your device.

** The replacement guarantee does not cover silicone cases, installation errors including air bubbles, dust or dirt caught underneath the TechSkin, and improper alignment of the film on your device. Please follow the installation instructions carefully when applying.

http://www.skinomi.com/sk-im1064-lg-g4-tech-glass.html

On another note, while there is a color shift, the screen is very much legible in landscape orientation with the Skinomi while wearing polarized sunglasses.
[G4 Accessories] rsbenedict:
My installation got screwed up as well, but when I checked their warranty, it didn't seem to cover that. I cleaned everything appropriately but there must have been a dust flake and it was directly in the middle. UGH. I pulled it off and tried to remove it with the tape, but it even more dust got on the screen. I had to throw it away. :(

I liked it, but would prefer that it went from edge to edge and not leave a mm all the way around. Harder to align that way. They're thin enough that they shouldn't interfere with any case.
[G4 Accessories] LancerV:
I just emailed them and they sent me a replacement one
[G4 Accessories] shojus:
Awesome deal here! Grab the G4 tempered glass for $6.99 and the case for $12.99 and you have a final price of $7.64 shipped to your door 2nd day Air, if you have Amazon prime! Great deal because I just paid $8.50 for just the Qi sticker alone! And that won't be here for another 2 weeks probably... Keep in mind what you are getting with this deal too! If you want to wirelessly charge your phone than you can take the sticker out of this case and put it in your own case if you don't like the one they send you...

I also ordered the tempered glass protector from Skinomi (because it would arrive a week quicker than amazon) and noticed that it did NOT have the cutouts for the earpiece and the sensor. Instead it had a ONE large rectangular cutout at the top for the camera, light sensor and earpiece. I called Skinomi directly and they figured out they had two versions out there in the wild. Not sure which one is the newest, but I think the new ones are the one with the exact cutouts. They told me to go ahead and use my existing screen protector until they get more this week and will ship it to me for free. Their Customer service was phenomenal :)
