I just ended up taking the screen protector off, because the screen sensitivity is already low as it is, and the screen protector in my opinion inhibits it even further so a lot of times as I am scrolling it just clicks on random stuff

I ordered this RhinoShield protector from evolutivelabs. Not sure if its a glass or plastic screen honestly, but according to their videos it holds up better than any tempered glass protector I've seen. A little more on the expensive side but still about $10 cheaper than incipios plex. It was supposed to ship end of October but is now delayed to shipping mid-November (which should be around now or in the next few days)...I'll update once I get a chance if anyone's interested.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] slaytanic:
I've been looking at that one, I'm planning on keeping my phone for awhile, so the $ isn't an issue. Currently using a tech21 screen protector. Let us know how it goes :)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
I had one on my Nexus 5 -- from first glance, it looks and goes on like any other plastic screen protector (definitely not tempered glass), but the big difference is that the RhinoShield has the shock protection (stuff is pretty legit). Because it's not glass, the only 2 drawbacks is that the feeling is more similar to PET than glass (meaning your finger definitely doesn't go across as smoothly), but in no means is it bad, and the scratch protection isn't as good as glass (meaning you can scratch the protector). But as I mentioned, if you want to protect against your glass breaking/shattering, this stuff works.

Because of the issues I've been having with getting a tempered glass that fits, I'm also seriously considering getting a RhinoShield for my Moto. I just wish it wasn't so darn expensive.....

Does it have halo?

Such big halo don't deserve 4 stars, I will not consider them at all.

I still recommend TGSP. It's much better than all film I owned before.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Mississip:
By my count, Skinomi got one approval in post #229, but posts #45, 65, 67, 68, 69, 81, 163, 226, 229, 286, 289, 292, 348, 362 and 363 all disapproved. It was perhaps the most condemned tempered glass protector for MXPE. Skinomi reportedly said that they were aware of problems with their product and would take it off the market, and that they planned to redesign it, but they neither redesigned it not removed the bad product from the market.

Yes, obviously. This thread remains so active because we all are very interested in sharing information to find a tempered glass protector that actually fits. Many have stated they are using various film protectors only as protection until a good TGSP is found. Unfortunately, to date, there has been no glass product that can be documented to consistently fit.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] kenfb1:
If Skinomi makes one. I'll get it. I've had nothing but success with their products.

Hi,

That's what I just ordered, hope it works ok,

Does it have halo?

Hi,

Never put it on. Got the Nillkin first and it went on fine no halo so I stuck with that,

Has anyone actually tried the Sparin one? It seems to get decent reviews, but some seem a little "off." Wondering if anyone on here had any real world results.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] alershka:
I have bought two from amazon: Omoton and Intelliarmor.

I cracked the Omoton because it wasn't lined up correctly and it sat on the bottom speaker grill. It seemed to sit completely flat but the crack bothered me. The protector is thinner than ones I have used before (0.26 mm). They indicates lifetime warranty but I felt like I was at fault with a crappy install.

I ordered the intelliarmor based on reviews (which seems to cover multiple devices), my positive experience with my m8 and thickness (0.33 mm). My thinking is that any thickness will help with scratches but the thicker ones add more drop protection. The intelliarmor doesn't adhere to the sides and is completely lifted off at the top left and on either side of the microphone grill. I contacted them and they immediately refunded my money, indicating the testing went well but installations haven’t been as consistent as they liked. Because of this they are revamping the fit and will be coming out with a new version soon.

I went back to Omoton but will use the tape hinge for install this time.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
And any issues with halo or corners not adhering with the Omoton? (It comes in a pack of 2 right)?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] alershka:
As far as the Omoton goes, from my recollection, there wasn't any sort of halo'ing on the screen. If there was some, it wasn't bad enough for me to notice. There wasn't any issues with adhering which I attribute to the thinness, allowing it to flex a bit on the screen. The only issue I had was a crack because the protector was sitting on the bottom grill.

On a side note, IntelliArmor sent me another protector, even after refunding me for the first one. I decided to install it since my new Omoton protector hadn't arrived yet. My first order included only one protector for the same price that they are now selling two. I followed the tape hinge procedure and this time, took off my case, a Supcase Unicorn Beetle. Originally, I kept my case on because I felt that the case would help align the protector. Without the case on and using the tape method, I got the IntelliArmor aligned and it was not lifting on the bottom like my original install. As soon as I put my case on, the bottom started to lift off again. It looks like the front wrap of the case puts some stress on the screen /protector. I took the case off and used the stock bumper and the protector remains well attached.

I am hesitant to keep the back of my phone unprotected but for now I am going to keep the IntelliArmor protector on and see if it starts to lift. Maybe in a week, it will have adhered enough so I can put the Supcase back on.

I just ordered a Skinomi screen protector off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013HCLP9C

Will see how it works.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Stryder5:
Skinomi admitted that there is something flawed with that product. They also said they would pull the first generation protector and redesign it. To my knowledge, they have not done either action and that product sold on Amazon is still flawed and doesn't fit well. This is per prior posts from multiple users in this thread, not my own experience.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] redrider54:
Pelson with no Halo. Like my 5th different type of screen protector, finally found a good one.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Sakete:
Well, if it doesn't work they'll just have to refund me the purchase price.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Stryder5:
Any chance you could post some pictures?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] BigTrimma:
Same here, feels like actual glass too unlike the incipio I had before.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
Can confirm here. Skinomi customer support told me when I called them that they couldn't get it right and were pulling the product altogether. They didn't even offer a replacement because of this and said they would just refund me the entire purchase.

However, I hope you bought it via Amazon, because I purchased it directly from their website, and to actually get my money back after countless attempts to contact them, I finally ended up having to file a Paypal grievance and it was only after the final escalation in this process (where Paypal themselves contact the vendor) did they refund my money.

Unlike other protectors which have had a few good reviews and then a bunch of bad ones so far this is the only one which I was not able to locate a single negative review. Instead the only bad things being said about it come from twentyafterfour and Mississip pointing out possible fake amazon reviews. Out of the 7 installs I linked above only 3 of the users have thus far posted photos of their installs. I think that if benjamminh, crash613 and slicetwo can post some pics up for us then maybe we finally have a winner.

Too bad that Pelson is available on Amazon only... :(

What about non American MXPE holders? :P
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
Actually you can order it through ebay as well if that's available to you: http://ebay.to/1OrOPc1

Consequently, I just received a Pleson, and I had issues with one corner not adhering. I contacted them and they are sending a new one. I'll reserve final judgement until I try the 2nd one to see if I declare it good or a bust for my phone...

Did you order through eBay? The seller on eBay isn't listed as Pleson, which is why I'm asking.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
Unfortunately no, I got mine through Amazon. I just saw this on eBay.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] milski65:
Just installed the Pleson. No halo, easy install. Just follow directions. It seals itself after you place it on. Don't force it. I have no issues with fingers not gliding across it. As others have stated, it's not edge to edge. But it covers more than 99% of screen, which is good enough until someone does come out with one. For 8 bucks, you will not be disappointed.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] smarcisin:
I second that. No issues with mine either

Got Pleson after many many failed attempts with others. Pleson working great. As noted throughout. Does not cover all the way up to top, but covers screen well and works great. Been on for 3 days now no bubbles, halo, or any bad signs yet.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] qwert7744:
Pleson doesn't work for me

I've tried pretty much every single tempered glass brand possible: Nillkin, Supershieldz, Skinomi, iVoler, Cat-G (Bemz I believe), IllumiShield, Pleson, OMOTON, and several other cheap ebay ones. All of them have a halo effect no matter how I apply the glass. I don't know how you guys applied Pleson's tempered glass so that it works but this is the second time I purchased from them in hopes that I might get one that works. Even the second attempt failed. I've pretty much lost all hope in this and am probably just going to live with the halo effect or remove the glass completely. Good luck to the rest of you, I'll check again in a few months if anything guaranteed has been declared.

Also Pleson and iLLumiShield are the best in terms of fingerprint prevention and the most glassy like feel.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Bobby060:
I've had a great experience with the IQSheild protector for this device. It's a tad small, but it sticks well and is clear. The best part is the life time warranty. They have already replaced it once with just a simple email.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
If anyone is interested Incipio has the Plex on sale today for $21 (usually $35). Can't vouch for it myself but reviews have said no halo (but supposedly feels more like plastic than glass)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
I finally got my second Pleson, and even though it's got the slightest halo on the left side, I'm at the point where this is probably as good as it's gonna get, and I'm going to keep it on for now.

After trying iVoler (3 of them, both revisions), Nillikin, Skinomi, and some other no name brands, I'm resigned myself to the fact that for some reason this phone may never have a perfect fit due to the curvature of the screen.

One that I tried that I think helped this last time was I applied the screen while booting up the phone, so the screen was white and you could see the edges nicely, and the phone wouldn't act all crazy since during the boot-up sequence it doesn't register touches. Because it doesn't go edge-to-edge, the "hinge" method using painter's tape isn't so hot either.

I wrote up a little quick review on Amazon since I did get the Pleson at a discount for promising to write up a review: http://amzn.to/1loBIhP
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Restola:
I still have mine which I paid $35 for. It does feel like plastic and attracts a lot of fingerprints. Works well enough that I haven't wanted to replace it yet though (but $35...damn)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] cicatriz63:
Just got mine yesterday and I ordered the Pleson. Got it put on dead center by using the bumper trick. I do have the slightest of halo effect on each side, just under a mm, not sure if it bothers me enough to try getting another one though.

I also got the Pleson. The install went flawless, but there is the tiniest of halo on both sides, as some users have already reported.

Here are some pictures, hopefully it will help you make your decision.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] mr.r9:
Thanks for the pictures but for me It's tooo short at the top. Does that bother you? Also, how's the smoothness?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] wctaylor79:
Pelson smooth and works great for me. Like not having anything on the screen. The top I thought was going to bother me.. After couple days I forgot about it. Don't pay any attention to it. Though it is quite the gap. I'm just happy to have glass protector that doesn't look like it's peeling off all day.. ?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] EdCarden:
I also got and installed the Pleson. My install did NOT go flawlessly. Somehow a large particle of dust made its way between the protector and the screen glass while I was applying it, which I picked out with tweezers but in the process created a very tiny scratch and bubble near the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Thankfully, it's not really all that noticeable when the screen is on and in use. I also have a bit of halo on the sides of the screen. All in all not perfect, but the fault lies more with me and my installation abilities (or lack thereof) than with the product itself. I'm just gonna deal with it as is. I'd rather not go through the process of buying and installing a screen protector again (this is my second attempt).
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] nast203:
I've had a Pleson on for about 2 months. I bought a skinomi as well but never even opened it. The pleson has worked great there is the tiniest of halo on both sides but honestly it's not even noticeable unless you are looking very hard for it and it isn't there at all with the screen on. The gap on top bothered me for maybe the first day, as others have said I don't even see it anymore. I can say after 2 months it's been well worth having and it's non-existent to me now.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Epicblood:
just ordered a Pleson, should be arriving tomorrow.

Are there any guides on how to put these things on properly? never done it before.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] wctaylor79:
Some use the included bumper that came with the phone to help line it up. Using Pleson myself. There is a cutout around the bottom speaker. I used that to gauge where to line it up and the bumper to keep the sides up straight. Just before you peel and stick put it over the phone get idea of how you want to put it on.. Have patience and make sure to void the screen of any dust/dirt.. Good luck :) Remember on the Pleson the top will not go all the way to the edge. Designed that way. You get used to the gap after a bit. :)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] DarthSudo:
As [MENTION=2421294]wctaylor79[/MENTION] said, dust is the biggest enemy. A small bathroom after a hot steamy shower will have the least amount of dust. Doing the install under an A/C vent is the worst place for dust.

To align the glass, I tried using the bumper case, but it seemed to be a source of dust for me... maybe clean it off real good first? Do a search on the "tape hinge method" and create some tape "tabs" on the top side to hold the glass so you aren't touching it with your fingers. I also like to turn the screen on to line it up on the sides.

Good luck! post pics when you're done. I'm still not happy with my current screen protector and will be replacing it once there seems to be a brand that gets it right.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] jsminnis:
I have the pleson as well with no halo..... rewind a bit, when I first put it on I had the halo for a few days, then I put a case on that had a plastic protector built in. I didn't like the case on it because the plastic built in protector bubbled up due to the pleson being on the phone. The good news is, I left the case on for a day, and when I took it off I noticed all the halo had disappeared. I assume it is because the plastic forced the pleson down on the edges so it could completely adhere. Either way, its been two months and still no halo.

If you are going to try this do it at your own risk because there is some risk involved, breaking the pleson... etc...

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] noneandnonly:
My brother has an LG G4 and on his older phone he had several scratches because of metal pieces that were in his pocket all day.

Now with the gorilla glass 3 he doesn't have any scratches in the screen at all.

I got no scratches in gorilla 2, are there any other benefits from a protector?

Thanks in advance :)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] kthung:
Depends on your environment. Scratching is entirely dependent on material properties. Any material can scratch a material that has less hardness, and therefore any material cannot scratch a material that is harder than it, no matter how sharp. That's why those knife and key scratch tests on youtube are pretty useless. it is well known that most metals are "softer" than gorilla glass and therefore will not scratch. Quartz (sand) on the other hand is much harder than gorilla glass and therefore can scratch a phones screen. So depending on your environment you will probably get some micro-scratches over time just from tiny bits of sand in your pocket with the phone.

SO, bringing you back to your original question, micro scratches will basically be unavoidable. I tend to prefer tempered screen protectors because I like the feel of glass, but over time it will gather scratches anyways. Also, I have found that using a tempered glass screen protector can protect from shattering. The glass protector will shatter first, thus dispersing the energy from a drop and your regular screen will be safe.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] cruzargel:
Finally got this from Amazon (I'm from the Philippines).

Pleson + Diztronic. Seems very great to me. Bought these two due to good feedbacks here and on Amazon.

Very slight lift/halo on both sides though. Also I tried to lift it again in the upper right corner, and now it won't fully adhere there lol. Overall not bad for my first time tempered glass application.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] nickest:
I screwed my Pleson, halo effect at the top and bottom, huge ones; and with a lot of dust.

If I order it now I'll receive it like in 10 days (I order via Amazon us through a carrier)

Is it okay to quit it and be "naked" for that time til I get my second one? With the tools they give is it enough to clean the screen completely?

Any recommendations/instructions for my installation? I just have one chance haha, sorry for the long post and thanks!
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] sarkar_007:
Is it possible to remove a tempered glass screen protector. If, after a few months, for whatever reason I wish to apply a new screen protector, can I do so? Is there a risk of damaging the actual screen during removal of the tempered glass?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] illogic6:
You can remove a glass screen protector just like a regular one. You won't damage the phone.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] mosshorn:
Second Pleson screen, second case of lifting in the same place. Anyone else have this issue, or know another brand that won't do it?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] EVR_PR:
Pleson does leave halos but they can be minimized considerably if you put pressure for a while along the sides after using a hair dryer for 30secs to warm up the glue.

Don't do this more than once or twice or the glue just won't stick anymore.

I tried to get a MXPE over Christmas as part of the sale Amazon had. I went with the Pleson tempered glass and was pleased. No raised areas at least for the 2 weeks I had it. In the end, after going through the original and 2 replacements, it all went back to Amazon. The Pleson was only on the first phone which I held through the hold process.

Despite the issues, I really liked the MXPE and was pleased with the fit of the Pleson. I'll try the pairing all over again at the next sale.
