I also got the Pleson and am very pleased with the results.

I wiped the screen with a microfiber cloth I had for an old pair of glasses, then brought the whole kit and phone into the bathroom while I showered (I kept the phone inside the cardboard packaging that the case came in to keep any floating dust from accumulating). Then when I got out of the shower I used the alcohol wipe and the dry wipe to get any last remaining specs off. I didn't see any more specs of dust so I skipped the dust-sticker step and just removed the film from the glass and placed it on. I put it on starting from the top to align the speaker, camera, and proximity sensor holes and by the time I had verified that everything looked good there, 95% of the glass had adhered. I pressed down in the center of the glass and went over the remaining 5% with the dry wipe to fully adhere the glass to the phone. I do not have a single bubble and have no halos whatsoever.

As others have said there is a very small perimeter of uncovered glass around the edges but my fingers generally do not notice the difference. Two thumbs up!

I just contacted Spigen through Amazon. Hopefully I can get a replacement with the correct cutouts
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bsbharath1987:
Spigen's GLAS.tr SLIM SGP11815 is on pre-order on Amazon. Do they have proper cutouts which they missed out on their other TGSPs?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] cthip:
The updated Spigens with the proper cutout are shipping. I received my replacement in the mail a couple of days ago. It has the cutout for the proximity sensor and works perfectly.

Has anyone had experience putting a front skin (like dbrand) on top of a tempered glass screen protector?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] gregorvu:
Hello

I'm from Europe. Do you maybe know where can I but pleson protector in EU. Or any other other good screen protector.

I also can't find spigen protector (new design) in any EU shop.

I bought spigen with wrong design from amazon.co.uk, seller refund me money yesterday.

Please help.

Thank you
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Pandages:
I'm familiar with Tempered Glass Screen Protectors but I haven't found one I really like for the Nexus 5X. However, here's my review of the TechMatte amFilm Tempered Glass protector:

PRO:

-Thin and light material shouldn't interfere with using most case designs.

-Adds virtually zero weight to the phone.

-Glass is slightly flexible, does not shatter if slightly bent.

-Fitment is pretty good, does not interfere with the features and functions of the Nexus 5X. Fitment is not perfect.

-Kit includes all necessary tools to clean the Nexus 5X and perform the installation.

CON:

-Made in China, no indication of where or using what kinds of materials. (could have been made of Schott glass from Germany, for example)

-Glass is not multicoated. That means it picks up reflections much more than the bare screen.

-Glass is not oleophobic. It picks up fingerprints much more than the original screen. It needs regular cleaning.

-Protection afforded may not be better than the gorilla glass 3 used in the Nexus 5X screen.

-No easy way to remove the protector without potentially loosening the actual screen.

Notes:

-I did not test the hardness claim (9H). In theory, only extremely hard materials like diamond or tungsten carbine should be able to scratch this protector.

-TechMatte provided me this product in exchange for my unbiased review.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Afterlife737:
Yeah I've got the same problem. I would buy one in a heartbeat since I had to send my Spigen back since it didn't have the cutout. Got a full refund and don't know if I should wait for the Pleson to come into stock here or go with the Invisible Defender from Ringke... I want it to cover the whole surface, even above and below the speakers

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

Anyone have any experience with the Invisible defender from Ringke (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nexus-Scree...6&sr=8-2&keywords=invisible+defender+nexus+5x) ? I like that it covers the parts above and below the speaker grills unlike the Spigen I had.. But haven't seen anybody talk about it :/ Would get the Pleson but it's not available atm in the UK
[Nexus 5X Accessories] rgerrans:
There is actually quite a bit of discussion of it above (most refer to it as the Ringke ID). Many (myself included) had issues with lifting around the edges and/or the cutouts. Plus I noticed that it picked up quite a bit of finger smears. It was ok but not great. I switched to the Pleson but if it wasn't available would have probably stuck with the ID.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] heyytonytony:
I'll have the Orzly TGSP in a few days - went with that over the Pleson because of reasons. Orzly's Nexus 5X offering on Amazon has no reviews yet, kinda surprised me.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Rektifying:
I went with the updated Spigen Tempered Glass. (Has proximity sensor cut out) I ordered it from Amazon for $9.99. ($24.99 at Spigen.com) It is set for delivery on Monday, as well as my Nexus 5X. I will update then.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bsbharath1987:
I received my Spigen GLAS.tr TGSP and installed it. The pack comes with all tools needed for the installation and it installs quite easily. The screen seems to have an oleophobic coating on it. The cutouts are accurate this time around but the front camera is covered. The screen protector, when installed accurately, will go almost to the edges of the phone. There seems to be a millimetre gap to the edge of the phone all around. I don't know how well would it play with bumper cases, though.

Phantom Glass:

http://www.phantom.glass/

Will be launching on Amazon UK soon according to an email I received last week. Also can't find the Pleson anywhere, only appear on Amazon US site I believe. Skinomi Tech Glass may also be a good bet, from what i've read.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sn0warmy:
After longer use with the Pleson TG protector, I'm actually not happy with it. The oleophobic coating on it is crap. It's already worn off almost completely. The screen now shows every single little smudge/mark with just the slightest glaze. I find myself having to wipe the screen off multiple times a day. Meanwhile, the bare glass screen on my iPhone 6S and my Fiance's Galaxy S6 still look great after significant use. So I know how well the oleophobic coating is supposed to perform.

I've had Spigen TG protectors on my last two phones and they worked much better. So I'm planning on going that route and ordering the GLAS.tR from them.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SlyUK:
Thanks for notifying on this. Its a shame we can't really get definitive answers to these TGSPs. Some people have good experiences, others bad. Its like someone told me Skinomi was really good, others that they were bad.

These maybe worth a punt, for those interested:

Yes, tempered glass is always protect your costly phone from broke glass and other scratches.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SlimSnoopOS:
I noticed that some of you have purchased the Spigen tempered glass protector although it appears to cover the front facing camera in their Amazon demo pics. Do any of you with the Spigen glass protector installed notice issues with pics (blurred or distortion of any kind) taken via the front facing camera? If possible, I would appreciate it if anyone could provide pics they have taken using their 5X front facing camera just to see if it creates issues with your pics.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ourfear:
will spigen release Glas.tR Slim Nano version for 5X?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Alcolawl:
I can confirm this. The Pleson screen protector fits really well, but the oleophobic coating wore off almost immediately. Smudges galore. Disappointing.

Just ordered the Spigen, hoping I dont bodge the install with air bubbles when it comes tomorrow.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] thePman:
Ordering the SecondSkin (getsecondskin.com) for my 6P or 5X (eurghh, can't decide!) - my buddy loves his and the last cheap Anker one I bought off Amazon chipped in like 2 weeks. Spigen are also probably also a safe bet, I've used their cases for years and am continually amazed at the quality and looks for the price.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] BrySkole:
Has anyone tried the Ultimate Shield tempered glass for the 5X? Does it have all the cut outs?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Oblox:
Got my Spigen today, nice looking protector good package and easy to apply. Was very annoyed when there was a single spec of dust underneath after but thats not the protectors fault just my impatience and not doing it in a bathroom after shower.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SlyUK:
Did you buy directly from Spigen or Amazon ?

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

Never heard of them before, must be relatively new company. Based in the UK, like Orzly I see.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Oblox:
I ordered from Amazon UK. £6.95.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Skitals:
Has anyone found a TGSP that fits well with the official felt "Case" case?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] MisterRich:
I ordered my previous two Spartan Shields from eBay. I was hesitant at first on getting a glass protector, but, after installing one on my Sony Z3, then another on my OnePlus 2, I just don't think I'd go another way. I think my favorite thing is how much easier the glass cleans, how much less it smudges, and how even if the screen isn't perfectly cleaned, it's easy to glide on the screen's surface. All in all, I've had awesome results from spartan shields and I will continue to install on any new phone I get.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bobby janow:
I feel the exact same way. I use intelliglass.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] vini914:
The 5X is my first phone with Oleophobic coating and I'm loving it! Does anyone know of a glass screen protector that comes with Oleophobic coating?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sn0warmy:
Pretty much all of them do...

But if you want to save from trial and error like the rest of us, I suggest going straight for the Spigen GLAStR tempered glass protector.

I'd like to know this as well. The Spigen glass bubbles at the sides and/or corners when it's on...really disappointed. :(

Zagg

Although the mfg ZAGG does not have a tempered glass option as of now, I was able to retrofit the HTC One M8 Zagg glass screen protector onto my 5x. Bought at best buy with a price match on amazon. It covers the entire screen portion but leaves some space on both the top and bottom. No bubbles or anything, really pleased with it for being a buy in store option that wasn't tailor-made for the 5x. Zagg even has a lifetime warranty.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Jason_MCG:
So having made the mistake of pairing the Spigen TGSP with the official Adopted case (and ruining the TGSP application over the course of 24 hours), I decided to move to an Intelliglass protector. I like it much, much better as it's not as noticeable and seems much more exact in terms of fit. It also goes edge-to-edge whereas the Spigen had a ~1mm space on either side.

In the meantime, I've forgone my Adopted microfiber case in favor of the Nillkin frosted hard case. I prefer the Adopted case for purely superficial reasons, but l like the look and slimness maintained with the Nillkin case, even if the grip and aesthetics are diminished. Will post pics later....
[Nexus 5X Accessories] crocski:
I'm vouching for the Pelson screen protector.

Easy easy install, no bubbles. I had plenty time to adjust it before sticking.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bg1906:
I cracked the Pleson as soon as I got it. Flimsy to me. The Tech Armour is much higher quality.

Interesting. I've had mine since release day and no cracks or bubbles.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sn0warmy:
The Spigen Glass.tr Slim has held up perfectly for me for a couple of months now. I reached out to Spigen to see if they plan on releasing the Nano version which is just 0.23mm compared to the current Slim's 0.40mm. My only gripe with this protector is the thickness. Waiting to hear back now.

The other thing I loved about applying this protector is the tabs that Spigen started using to make perfect alignment an absolute breeze. With these pull tabs the need for the hinge method is no more.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] antiseen:
Have a bunch of extras from different manufacturers, but I'm using the pleson. First and only screen protector I've had on my 5X applied immediately upon opening the box at the end of October.

No issues.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] tsanuk:
I bought my screen protectors from china 0.25mm glass, seems to be okay for the price 8 usd for 10 of them, plus accessories... Used a plastic silicone before that cost me 18 usd but now that i got glass i feel much more safe putting it in my pocket with stuff. :angel::angel:
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ZeroAlphawolf:
So my Nexus is getting in on Tuesday, and I'm starting to shop around for Tempered glass and Cases. I've read through this whole thread and the consensus seems to be split between the Pleson, and the Spigen glass's. I'm leaning a little more towards the Spigen, i don't imagine minding the little extra thickness that it has over the Pleson, and from what I've read Pleson's oleo-coating doesn't seem to last. My one concern is the Spigen doesn't seem to have a cut out for the camera. Has this effected anyone actually? I don't use the front camera on my phones hardly ever, so i really doubt it'd bug me anyway, but it leaves me curious.

Second, is that i like that Spigen actually lists it's cases that fit with their screen protector. Anyone with the Spigen have suggestions for any good cases that fit, that aren't spigen cases? I had the Moto X 2014, and used it largely with a clear case that had the tpu bumper combo to it. I didn't mind the slipping feel of the hard plastic case, but it did seem to scratch from being set down on things. Not terribly picky, but i do want something that will fit well with the glass I end up using.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kj1060:
I had the Spigen TGSP it was fine with the front facing camera. I did have a small bit on the left of the screen where the TGSP wouldn't stay down. They sent me a replacement, but I am currently using a Spartan TGSP since Xtreme-Guard hard the 90+% off discount going.

I also had the Spigen Clear case and it was alright. I switched to the Ringke Fusion and would not go back to the Spigen after using it.

I should also note there was a small gap between the case and the edge of screen protector when I was using Spigen TGSP and case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] ZeroAlphawolf:
I'm liking the look of the Fusion actually, did you go with the Clear or the Smoke? I'm getting the Nexus in black, partially think the smoke would accent that too much and be too dark.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kj1060:
I have a white Nexus 5x, so I went with the clear. I also put on a white skin from Dbrand with black "neus" and the nexus colors for the "x". I highly recommend the Fusion over the Spigen case. It feels much lighter and the buttons feel better (to me).
[Nexus 5X Accessories] synesthete:
I just applied my Spigen GLAStr to my 5x and I am a bit disappointed. It doesn't go edge to edge. I was perfectly happy with the nano on my old Nexus 5, but this just doesn't seem like it was made to fit edge to edge.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Mijuca:
case and screen protector

Does nexus 5x spigen 9h protector fits with original adopted nexus case?

If they don't fit together, do you have any recommendation for case that looks like adopted with equal or better quality and protection ? :)
[Nexus 5X Accessories] cchant:
I had the Pleson glass protector installed first but two of the corners would never lay down and would leave a big bubble.

I replaced it with the iCarez glass and it's much better. The edges are rounded and it feels much smoother somehow. It also laid perfectly and without any bubbles
[Nexus 5X Accessories] synesthete:
Does the iCarez protector go edge-to-edge?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] cchant:
It's very close. A tenth of an inch maybe from being edge to edge
[Nexus 5X Accessories] synesthete:
Ok, thanks.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] BrotherEstapol:
I bought a TAGG 0.3mm tempered glass protector back in November and I've had serious issues with the touch sensitivity on it...at times(night usually!?) it'll just straight up not recognise inputs unless I press down a certain way. It seems to be an issue with not enough electrical charge(that's kind how the capacitive screens work, right?) coming through via my fingers. Never had issues prior to putting the screen on.

On top of that, it's started to come away in the top right(but I'm not really bothered with that too much) and it's COVERED in fingerprints!

I'm looking for a screen that's a bit thinner and has a better Oleophobic coating...but views here seem very mixed.

Do any of the plastic screens have decent Oleophobic coatings?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuffluck:
Bought a Nexus 5 about 6 months ago USED. It has been amazing. I got the latest OTA a week ago or so, not sure if that has anything to do with current issues.

About 2 days ago started randomly restarting. Today, it shut down and has been in continuous loop restarting. I see "Google" and maybe even the boot dots loading, then it is off. Three seconds later, starts again and repeats. Never makes it all the way into Android system. I let it sit for a while and when I pick it up, without touching any buttons, it repeats all of this. I suppose it is probably dead in general, but I don't know. Do you guys have any ideas? Again, I bought it used and from a ma/pap store who said they buy 100 in bulk, which made me skeptical, but they also had a 60 day guarantee and it was amazing the first 60 days and even after. It has been error free for 6 months, so I don't know if this is just a random issue or if the previous owner dropped it in a lake and I got lucky, or what. FWIW the damn thing has been in a case and never dropped, so it isn't anything that I have done I don't think. Thanks for any help.

Another user reported some instability since the last OTA update.

Flashing the full factory images did the trick.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qaleq14:
a friend of mine gave me his nexus 5 to repair and its doing something similar. He had ir rooted and on latest 5.1.1 (i think). Either way, he said it was randomly locking up and rebooting. When i got it it had the red blinking light when plugged so i got a new battery. That got fixed but then the constant bootloop showed itself. I flashed TWRP (many versions, 2.6.3.1; 2.7.1.1; 2.8.7.1; the one that worked best was 2.7.1.1). So, once in twrp wiped, pushed cm 12 snapshot, flashed it, pushed gapps, falshed, pushe supersu flashed. Started the system. That precise order of things (ie: pushing flashing, then pushing something new and flashing it) was what gave me best results to actually boot up at least once. Once booted up and logging in and everything to cm i had some sort of stability (even rebooting and powering off) but i think that everything went wrong when i plugged the phone to the computer and it was back to bootloops and not even getting to the recovery. Flashed everything again. Didnt work. Had to leave the phone sit for a while (without the back casing) before trying again, in order, before getting any success. Im starting to think of ovrheating but it doesnt even get that hot...

Dunno if you guys have any ideas on this. Or if i can give you mor details to help us out.

Regards!
