We are still waiting to hear back from 3 people on the Nillkin so if it works great for those 3 we should finally have a winner.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] newHere:):
Thank you for your detailed answer. :)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] zeroibis:
No problem. Seeing as bhazard451 ordered his awhile ago hopefully it will not be long before we get a review.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
So unfortunately I received my Nillikin in the mail today. I had a halo down the entire left side, and trying to re-position it didn't really help, as there would be at least one side/corner that would have halo and not adhere correct. Chucked it right in the trash. I also had a couple of iVolers (both a replacement "old" style, and a "new" one) and they both had issues. The old one wouldn't adhere on the bottom (same problem as my first one), and the newer one had halo on the sides.

I'm really bummed, because I had an iLLumshield PET protector on my phone temporarily, but I had gotten it just perfect -- and of course, putting on another one afterwards I can't replicate what I had before. I'm so pissed right now, as I knew I should had left well enough alone.

I am really thinking that because of the build of this phone, I either have to suck up my OCD and live with a little halo if I want a tempered glass - or stick with PET.

My last resort is possibly throwing down some $$$ for a Rhino Shield, which looks/feels like a PET, but provides the shock protection of a tempered glass. I had one on my old Nexus 5 and it was pretty solid -- just don't know if I want to throw down another $25 on a screen protector, when there is no guarantee that'll work either......

I have the Pelson that's working well. Others on AC have reported the same.

I previously tried the ivoler and Skinomi and they did not work.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Mississip:
I assume you meant Pleson. It would help if you could post photos. The only other review on the Pleson on this forum included many photos and stated that "there is a little halo and less protection than most would like at the edges, especially the top and bottom edges. The texture of the glass isn't ideal either. I've felt other brands which don't smudge or get much resistance while trying to slide my thumb across my screen. My thumb doesn't slide across this with ease. "
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] benjamminh:
Yes, I meant Pleson. I may get some photos tomorrow but my thumb slides easily. I referenced some reviews on android central forum fwiw.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Stryder5:
Here's the AC thread about the Pleson: http://forums.androidcentral.com/mo...ctors-moto-x-pure-edition-moto-x-style-4.html

Here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...idcentral00-20t=androidcentral00-20&m1k=vb_ac

Looks to have higher ratings than the other competing products, with 2 or 3 positive reviews over at AC. Any users here have it care to chime in with reviews and pics?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] smokarz:
Got my Ivolver screen protector and the darn thing arrived broken, contacted Amazon and they issued a refund.

Looking for another screen protector. So, what's has been the best screen protector for the Moto X PE?

Thanks,
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Mississip:
At this point, there is no tempered glass screen protector that would tempt me to remove my iLLumishield PET film. I have tried both the new and old iVoler designs, and two protectors from seller Bemz on Amazon. All had halo issues.

There have been what appear to be flukes with the old iVoler, the new iVoler, and the Nillkin in which members were able to get a good installation, demonstrated by good photos, but others were not able to repeat that success with the same products.

Benjamminh posted here that the Pleson is working well and that there are positive reviews at Android Central. At Android Central, the three posts mentioning the Pleson were made in a twelve hour period on November 8. The first refers folks to an Amazon link and product photo, but doesn't have any photos showing success. The second two appear to be chiming in in support of the first post, but also provide no photos. Amazon has some positive reviews, but after learning about paid positive reviews, I no longer give that much weight. I also thought it odd that the first post added "As far as I am concerned it is perfect and you will not find a better one even a.t a higher price." That sounds like what a shill for the product might say.

I am happy for benjamminh if he can follow up with photos of his successful installation, but we do have photos of an unsuccessful Pleson installation (post #251 by 7makoto18). I really hope the Pleson does pan out, but after the fluke installations, I'm waiting until I've seen good photos of at least two successes before I place another order.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] smokarz:
Thanks for the input.

It looks to me like Pleson is the same as iVolver. They even use the same images in their product pages on Amazon.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] benjamminh:
Lots of reflections in my photos so I haven't posted them. I do agree the Pleson is a fingerprint magnet.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Mississip:
Now that you called my attention to it, not only are four of the Amazon product images for the Pleson identical to those for the iVoler, except for substituting the product name in two images, but the product descriptions have identical wording in many sections that defies any possibility of a coincidence, including the same grammatical error. This may be similar to the case with seller Bemz, who had two identical tempered glass protectors with the same pictures but different product names.

Also, searching the Amazon reviews for those applicable to the Pleson for Moto X Pure, there are a lot of repeat and out of sequence phrases and exaggerated praise in a sampling of the five star reviews that arouse my suspicion about the possibility of false reviews.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] kenfb1:
Gees,

Sorry to hear your experience with the Nillkin!!! Mine is on for over 3 weeks now and still no issues so far.

Still no halo on the edges as of yet!! I actually ordered another one for a spare. I am a nut about installing though.

I use the scotch tape method on one side while lining it up and that has worked great for me in the past.

I'd post more pics but it looks the same as it did. I have a white face phone, maybe that's why the halo doesn't show???

But even with phone off and black, I see no halo, guess I got lucky,

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Stryder5:
What's the scotch tape method of applying the protector?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Mississip:
I think it works better with blue painter's masking tape, because it isn't as sticky.

Tear off two or three short, 1 to 1.5 inch or longer pieces of painters tape and put the very ends against an edge of your work surface to have them handy,

Align a screen protector perfectly with your screen without removing any backing,

Keeping it in place, apply two short pieces of tape near the top and bottom edge of a long side, with some tape projecting out freely to the side,

Press the end sticking out against the side of the phone to anchor the 'hinge' you've formed,

Test to make sure you can raise and lower the protector freely and still have perfect alignment,

Lift enough to remove the backing, and lower onto the screen hinge side first.

This just makes it easier to get the alignment right the first time without fiddling around. It could help to add a third piece of tape in the middle away from the hinge as a handle. Of course you need to have cleaned the screen.

Another use for scotch tape (painters tape doesn't work for me on this one) is to remove bits of lint or dust.

Lift the edge near the dust,

slide the tape underneath, sticky side up,

gently press down to adhere the offending bit to the tape,

remove tape and proceed with installation, addressing other dust in the same way.

I usually tear off a new piece of tape for each speck to avoid contaminating the surface.

If you google 'scotch tape screen protector' you'll find videos and written instructions that may be better than mine. Here's one from lifehacker.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] kenfb1:
Yep,

I first saw this years ago in a video and been using this method since. Seems I always get a good alignment with this method,

Have you ever used iVoler tempered glass screen protector? (http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0132M83EW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00)

I have used two screen protector from iVoler, the second was a replacement because the first one didn't fit very well (there was halo effect), and i've got the same result: halo effect always in the same position.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] kenfb1:
Hi

Hi,

No, never used the iVolver brand before. I have had good luck with Nillkin on several different phones.

Had a S3,S4, OPO and a LG4 using Nillkin on all of them. I like the way the glass feels, good touch,

and always cleans up nice and easy,

I had this screen protector on first, the Klear Cut and was perfect, http://www.amazon.com/Klear-Cut-KlearGlass-Replacements-Shatterproof/dp/B013HC5RKU/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1447252232&sr=8-12&keywords=moto+x+pure+glass+screen+protector, then I went to a full body case so removed it, then back to my slim case and bought this, http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Scratch-Ballistics-Hardness-Fingerprint/dp/B013CDOP84/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1447252232&sr=8-15&keywords=moto+x+pure+glass+screen+protector&pebp=1447252238614&perid=148W0EM3Y4YTY0FWY7ZA, and was junk, major halo! Then this, http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-Tech-Glass-Replacement-Oleophobic/dp/B013HCLP9C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1447252232&sr=8-3&keywords=moto+x+pure+glass+screen+protector, and was better, but still halo around edges and big part of bottom corner. I am definitely ordering another Klear Cut today unless someone else can convince me of a screen protector they have had no halo. The Klear Cut had absolutley no halo and went past the edges of the screen some, and the others barely cover to the edge. Thanks for any input!
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
It seems like the only brand that had pretty consistent reviews was the Incipio Plex -- but at $35 and some reports that it may not be actual tempered glass (rather some sort of plastic), it seems like a gamble compared to some of these others.

Personally, in terms of tempered glass on this phone I tried 3x iVolers (repeated exchanges, both old and "new" versions), Skinomi, and Nillikin and they've all had some sort of halo or non-adhesion issue. I really do want the protection of the glass, but I'm also very OCD when it comes to my phone and can't stand ANY sort of halo - so in the end I think I'm screwed.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] BigTrimma:
Incipio plex was good while it lasted. Slid across some cement with a case on and was completely destroyed lol definitely more plastic than glass. It chipped and crinkled like plastic. Right now I have the some plastic screen protector on. I am thinking of ordering the pleson tempered glass.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
Did you have any issue with halo on it?

And any particular reason you are not getting another Plex -- besides cost?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] crash613:
just botched a Pleson install. I was super careful and i ended up with hair on the bottom side of the glass..... instead of using the tape thing to get it off, i sprayed it with this "screen dr." glass cleaner and wiped it with a mico. To my amazement it still stuck when i lined it up and pressed. I have a small bubble in the middle that won't go away..... we'll see after 48 hours, and there is still a small dust hair under there that is somewhat visable. My OCD will probably have me ordering another one, but i am going to wait a few days to see if i like the glass or if i think i should try a different brand. So far, i have to say, i love it!!! feels much better under my fingers than the Skinomi wet-install plastic film kind i had.

Other than the problems i caused, i think the glass looks great. I don't see a halo and the fit is good enough. It doesn't go all the way to the edges, but they advertise this. Doesn't look bad at all in my Unicorn Beetle case
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] BigTrimma:
No halo, it went on great. I posted pictures earlier in the thread. Didn't feel like glass more like thick plastic like others said. Not willing to pay that amount for plastic again. Not to mention it was a fingerprint magnet.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] sbcrumb:
I do have the Pleson http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015SMYSZM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

It is not bad best one so far. I took some pics with my old Galaxy Nexus sorry if they suck. But best I could do.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] DarthSudo:
I had halo and separation issues around the bottom speaker and corners with my iVoler. I've contacted the seller to see if they will send me another one, but if that doesn't work I'm hoping to find one in this thread that will work better.

+1 on the tape "hinge" method.

I've also found that if you turn your screen on, you can line up the edges of the screen protector with the bezel.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] benjamminh:
Glad to hear others are having relative success with the Pleson.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Mississip:
The two more recent Pleson posts don't sound as successful as what you reported as your experience. I would very much like to see good photos of your installation so that we have at least one documented success.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] benjamminh:
I don't have stock in Pleson so people are free to do what they want to do. That's also why I used the phrase relative success.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] twentyafterfour:
The majority of the Pleson and many other product's reviews are fake. For example, the third review from the top when sorting by helpfulness is written by "zach" who reviewed 52 different screen protectors in two weeks using the same useless format in every single one. Just search the reviews for "honest review" or "discount" and you'll see the same thing happening on nearly every single one of them.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] EdCarden:
I got the Nilikin, but I totally botched the install. Not sure if I'm going to re-purchase or try a different brand. Either way, I'm handling the phone as gingerly as possible until I figure it out.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] sbcrumb:
I posted pics of my Pleson on my Moto X.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] crash613:
i think you might be right about the fake reviews!! But about my install. Someone said above that the two most recent reviews are not as successful as some... mine is one of the more recent ones. i just wanted to say that the lack of success on mine was my own fault.. i let dust get underneath. I knew better. I have ordered another one of the same one. i have a friend that works at best buy mobile. I am going to have her put the next one on. She has lots of practice. i like the fit of the Pleson, but the dust that got underneath is just bothersome.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] slicetwo:
I got the Pleson one that a few people have mentioned and it works well. No haloing. Besides it not totally covering the top, it covers nicely.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] DarthSudo:
The "Sparin" screen protector seems to be getting pretty good reviews as well. If the iVoler replacement is as bad as the first one they sent me, then it will be down to the Pleson or the Sparin (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0123NLDCA?ref_=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] DJag77:
I just received the Nillkin tempered glass I ordered from eBay. Installed perfectly. No halo, no bubbles. Finally!
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Mississip:
The Amazon page to which you linked combines reviews for two different Sparin protectors, the majority being for the Moto G. Searching for 'moto x', there are two long gushy reviews that I can't credit, and four brief ones that might contain truth. I have not seen any report of a Sparin installation, and the photos of two Pleson installations leave a lot to be desired. I hope you have luck, and if you do please astound us with photos.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Skyerin:
Hopefully people also comment as to what cases are friendly go tempered glass protectors. Had those issues on my n5 where the case pushes up the screen protector.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] jal3223:
I'm kinda curious to see if we are going to be in the same situation as the Note 4 with those rounded edges. There were only a couple of tempered glasses that actually would fit without having a "halo". It took a while to come out as well because they were so thin.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Geordie Affy:
Well last years Moto X had the exact same issues about the round edges. I just hope either Motorola or 3rd Part screen protecter manufacters have figured something out by now.

Seems like all phone manufacters have round edges now.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] emailrob:
I ordered the Skinomi one so at least I have something to use. Will wait a bit to see what the tempered ones are like, and if there are rounded ones available that actually do what they promise. But I'll feel better with having something on there from day 1.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] iazybandit:
I looked at the Skintomi and it uses a wet application. I'm not fond of using wet application because of water getting into the crevices.

I'm actually look at the Supershieldz - http://amzn.to/1N89ceA

Cheaper and better review rating.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] bradley26:
The Moto X Pure is water "resistant" this time around. Possibly safer than before
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Uncle Louie:
If you guys are ordering from the Skinomi site itself, I just got an email for 60% off for Labor Day weekend if you use the promo code LABOR60 at checkout. Just ordered the glass protector, as well as a standard one just in case. ??
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] cyris69:
Is the skinomi tempered glass screen on amazon in the US? Or what is the current best option for shipping right now online via amazon?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Geordie Affy:
This looks good ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01...+protector&dpPl=1&dpID=51Cf5NX-WpL&ref=plSrch

Also the description says because the Moto X Style has rounded edges they cant cover the screen a 100%. So atleast they honest and mensioning thats the case.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Skinzomi TechGlass goes on dry. Their non-glass protectors need to go on wet. Make sure you're looking at TechGlass.

I already have mine. Just waiting for the device. It is flat, so it will not cover any rounded edges. But it is cut to cover top to bottom. I ordered the white with champagne, since the TechGlass should keep the white looking clean.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] davekaye:
Thanks. Picked up one for my Pure Edition and one for my older Moto X 2014. I just went for the standard ones. Not that hard on my phones and worried about the curved glass issue others have mentioned. Used LABOR60 and got the discount price.

Ordered these two to try both 9H ballistic tempered glass. Actually in stock and will be here before phone.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] falcon26:
I would like to get the glass screen protector but on the Moto x 2014 I could never get it to seat right. The corners would always not stick and you get this bubble halo effect thing. And since the new Moto x has the same style I am afraid that it will happen again.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] joshhud:
The one I ordered looks a lot different than what I am seeing now. Mine has a cut out on the bottom.. For what looks like the home button but I guess it's the speaker.. Then another big one for the top speaker and camera/sensor

All the ones I see now have individual speaker and camera cutouts
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
Did you say that code worked for the Techglass? I just tried to add it and said it only works on certain items :(
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] iazybandit:
Same here. It says "Coupon code labor60 only applies to certain store items. Please note that some or all of the items in your shopping basket do not qualify for this coupon offer."
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] tele_jas:
I got one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013HCAUJS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

I couldn't get it to seal/stick down around the bottom sensors and up by the flash. It also looked a lot different than what was in the picture, the one I was sent had cut-outs notched out around the speakers.

So, I wouldn't recommend this one. I may run to BestBuy later to see if they have any?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] tvtt:
I ordered two glass screen protectors from amazon, the Skinomi one and the Klear Cut one. Both of them aren't cut precisely for the camera, led etc., but instead they just skipped them and are left unprotected. Has anyone found any that cover the whole front of the phone or are we going to have to live with these like the previous moto x?
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] spotmark:
Yeah, I'm not happy with the Skinomi one, either. Left it off as well.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] :
I just ordered this one: http://amzn.com/B0132M83EW

It's being shipped from China. My backordered phone will probably get here first.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] pinoymutt:
Actually if you read some of the Sparin reviews, I actually saw "Pleson" mentioned -- not sure if it was a copy/paste review, or perhaps they are the same screen under two different brand names.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] DarthSudo:
Pics?!!

My issue with eBay is the crap shoot with supportability if there are issue. Not to mention the slow boat from China delivering your product. But, I do like that the bottom 2 (proximity?) sensors look like they are probably not covered up by the glass (although, as clear as these are, it probably doesn't make a lot of difference). But, I've had good luck with my other Nillkin products in the past and if this turns out to be the best, then I guess I order and wait...

Good catch. I didn't see the little "Color: Clear(For Moto G 3rd Gen)" in smaller, lighter text above each review...

I saw that too and wasn't quite sure what to make of it...
