Yep if you go to the beach with your HTC 10 (or any other phone) without a film or tempered glass on the screen, let it in your car and take 2 showers before touching the screen :laugh:
[HTC 10 Accessories] AliLaPointe:
Welp, had a couple of days of joy with the AliExpress one. Last night the top right chipped after lightly tapping the corner of the bed frame and today the middle side chipped from being dropped inside the car. Really flimsy material if you ask me. Going to go back to the films for now.

I just ordered it on Amazon for $10. I've always liked Spigen products, so hopefully this protector will be a good one. I haven't bothered with any other screen protectors for the 10 yet (due to reviews), but I'll post reactions and pictures once I receive it next week.

Thanks for the heads up regarding the protector, too!
[HTC 10 Accessories] vegetaleb:
You are talking about the phone or the tempered glass?
[HTC 10 Accessories] erojas388:
I recieved the spigen glass protector today. Although its clear and easy to install, there are no cutouts on the bottom for the capacitive button lights and no cutout for the notification light on the top.
[HTC 10 Accessories] rodolfojr:
Care to post some pics? :)
[HTC 10 Accessories] Heisenberg420:
I totally failed at running around with no protector on this phone.

Two drops, both from ~3 feet on to soft carpet, where it's rolled into a dresser or something. Now I've got two significant scratches I need to live with before I decide to do the uh-oh exchange.

Both times I had been drinking btw, word from the wise. Don't drink with out a screen protector, it won't end well.

Also have been using it at the beach. I think you guys must be overstating how sand affects GG4, it's pretty scratch resistant. Impact results in scratches instead of shattering or hairlining which is nice. Someone invent unbreakable glass for touchscreens already!
[HTC 10 Accessories] erojas388:
I dont have a camera other than my phone lol but i can assure you the only clear cutout is for the camera. Hopefully they realize this flaw and fix it. I dont understand why they wont just make the whole protector clear instead of having the black top and bottom.
[HTC 10 Accessories] hgoldner:
The Verizon Flexible Tempered Glass protector doesn't have cut-outs for these either and it does not impair function. More importantly, how's the width of the Spigen Tempered Glass product? Does it cover the entire visible screen?
[HTC 10 Accessories] p50kombi:
I think he might mean they're covered by the black paint ;)
[HTC 10 Accessories] erojas388:
Yes i meant they are covered by the black paint sorry for the confusion. But the protector does cover the whole screen and is pretty clear. It also doesnt attract many fingerprints like the others ive tried.
[HTC 10 Accessories] hgoldner:
Ugh. That IS a problem.
[HTC 10 Accessories] JohnCorleone:
Same here. I have a case but no screen protector. I have dropped my phone straight onto concrete and I don't have a single scratch on my screen. Grains of sand in your pocket or accidentally putting your phone in the same pocket as your keys and them grinding on the screen are the biggest culprits
[HTC 10 Accessories] richii0207:
Ouch! At least you can disable the capacitive buttons both functionally AND visibly [emoji14] how does it look other than that?
[HTC 10 Accessories] serophia:
It looks great but I messed mines up xD the dust sticker left a major adhesive mark which was very annoying so I ordered another one.
[HTC 10 Accessories] pelon90005:
Does the the light still shine through the black part for both the buttons and the notifications?

Spigen Full Cover Glas

I ordered one of these as soon as I saw your post. Thanks for sharing.

I ordered a no-name tempered glass protector from eBay before I even received my HTC 10. Like the majority of the genetic protectors available, the edges of the screen were left uncovered. That protector was in the trash within five minutes.

The Spigen Full Cover Glas covers the edges perfectly, and has absolutely no halo [disclaimer: I installed it only ten minutes ago, so extended use may yield different results]. Not surprisingly, it also mates perfectly with my Spigen Rugged Armor case (if it wasn't for the extended cutouts above the top speaker and below the fingerprint scanner, it would look like there was no screen protector installed at all).

Negatives (sorry for the lack of pictures, but you can use the stock image from Amazon for reference):

As others have stated, the capacitive button lights and notification lights are concealed by the protector (they cannot be seen at all). This will probably be a deal breaker for me, as I often depend on these lights to discreetly notify me of texts and emails during work meetings.

The capacitive buttons are concealed by the black area of the protector, and it seems no attempts were made to preserve that functionality. As I mentioned, there is a cutout that extends from the speaker grill. It is by the camera, above the grill for the light sensors. Unfortunately, the cutout should have also extended below the grill to reveal the notification light. This suggests to me that this was produced before the phone's final specs were known, hence the missing cutout (perhaps it was assumed that the notification light would be inside the grill like on previous models).

If you are not bothered by the lack of lights, this seems like a solid choice thus far. As for me, I'm going to test it for at least a day, after which point I suspect I'll be extremely annoyed by the concealed lights, remove the glass protector, and go back to film.

It may also be worth noting that this product is not listed on Spigen's website. They probably discovered their errors, pulled the item from their site, and sold off remaining inventory to liquidators who are now selling them on Amazon and eBay.

I will most likely give this product a second chance should Spigen release a revised version.
[HTC 10 Accessories] TotallyAnxious:
I sent mine back for a refund. You're probably right about why it's not on their site.
[HTC 10 Accessories] vegetaleb:
I will finally receive the spigen crystal film tomorrow, is there a youtube video that explain how to install it without bubbles?
[HTC 10 Accessories] mgdking:
What puzzles me is when they released a lot of there cases for the 10 they had the unnecessary hole at the top in which they thought would be an IR Blaster. So since then they have revised there cases. So why would they not make the cut outs for capacitive buttons or atleast make them clear where they are located.....something?? Just makes no sense??
[HTC 10 Accessories] p50kombi:
Maybe they're just thinking the extra retooling costs and doing another run is not worth their efforts and doesn't result in enough profit as the 10 doesn't seem to be be a high seller. .
[HTC 10 Accessories] runtime_Err0r:
I just installed this tempered glass from ORZLY

https://www.amazon.es/Orzly®-Protector-Pantalla-SmartPhone-TRANSPARENTE/dp/B01INKSUMI

Do not produces the halo effect (I had it with the same type from GCOLOR, more in the left side than in the right). It is very clear and covers from edge to edge. It has holes for the speaker and the light sensor. Do not have holes from the front camera and the notification led, but the glass is very clear, the notification led is visible and the front camera works fine (and puts another layer of protection...). The capacitive buttons are seen very well.

The bad thing is that has a very small dots in the screen that are sometimes visible when the are a lot of light, but this is properly announced in the product description. For me are barely visible, only with direct sun or a powerfull light. With the lights of my room I can't see them. With the screen on, are even less visible.

For now I'm very happy. I attach some photos.
[HTC 10 Accessories] c19932:
Thank you for the review. Is the glass protector itself 100% flat or is it curved? I am curious as to how it can offer edge to edge protection if its completely flat.

Also, you stated that the glass is clear enough for the front camera to function properly. That is the case even though that area is blacked out in the screen protector?

Thanks
[HTC 10 Accessories] TotallyAnxious:
The amazon listing has a lifetime warranty so it sort of implies more would be made, and I'd assume they'd fix things if they are gonna keep making it, even if it's just not painting part of the glass black. I do agree with you that retooling costs wouldn't be worth it for a phone like the 10.

Spigen Full Cover Glas Update

UPDATE

As I suspected, I found the lack of capacitive and notification lights to be an unbearable hindrance, and removed the Spigen Full Cover Glas almost exactly 24 hours later.

Observations from one day of use:

The protector and the Spigen Rugged Armor case were a great match aesthetically, but the flexing of the case around the screen caused some lifting of the protector. I removed the case for part of the day and the protector adhered back to the screen with no problems. At the end of the day, the protector was still perfectly affixed and did not show a halo.

What I have tried thus far:

*No-name HTC 10 tempered glass that was too narrow: useless.

*Film-type M9 protector that came with previous purchase of M9 Trident Aegis case: this is the best I've used so far (taller than the screen, but exact screen width with a barely-noticeable halo on the sides only).

*Spigen Full Cover Glas: (see extensive review above).

*Currently using a left-over no-name M9 tempered glass: too tall for screen, perfect width for screen, major halo all around which is barely noticeable with the screen on (this is temporary protection).

I'll probably go to the Verizon store tomorrow for a flexible glass or film-type (only because I don't want to look at this massive halo while I wait for an online order). If none are available at the local store, I may tolerate the halo and order the Spigen Crystal film. Or maybe even another M9 film.

This is a long list, but when I am done, it will have been a fairy inexpensive endeavor, as I already had the M9 protectors, and requested refunds for the others. Nevertheless, this is getting very old.

TL;DR:

The Spigen Full Cover Glas may be perfect for those that 1. do not care about all lights being covered, and 2. do not use a case. It may also be usable with a case that does not wrap around to the front of the screen.

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Puzzling indeed. Simply producing a Glas without the black paint would make it perfect when paired with the right case, or without a case.

It's unfortunate for us that producing accessories for HTC devices is no longer a wise investment for most reputable manufacturers.
[HTC 10 Accessories] codeglitch:
Thanks for the review, I have one question, do you think it will get peeled if you use a case? like spigen rugged or a Orzly FlexiCase?
[HTC 10 Accessories] vegetaleb:
Received the Spygen Crystal, my first try ended bad because I had a hard time aligning it between the upper and lower part (speaker part and home button) during that time 8 dust came on the screen and made un-squeegee bubbles :mad:

So already 1 film in the trash, 2 to go, next time I will have to be precise from the very 1st second, dunno why it's so hard to align the speaker and home button with this film, oh and they give you only one wet wipe for 3 films now I have to find a clean microfiber tissue, but even though I liked the look of it as it's so slim that you can't see it on your screen
[HTC 10 Accessories] runtime_Err0r:
The protector is flat, like all the others. The intention of having the borders in black is (IMHO) to hide the halo effect produced by the curved screen.

The area of the front camera is transparent, not blacked. Has the same for the notification led, is a transparent small circle. In the product description can be seen, but is not a hole, is a transparent circle.

I have the spigen exact-fit and works well. The protector leaves a gap of around 1mm or less on each edge, so I think that will not be peeled but it depends a lot on the case.

After one day I have the feeling that produces more reflects (like a mirror) that the original screen, but I'm not sure if is a placebo effect :D. The fat of the fingers are also visible in the protector, but the original screen has the same problem :D. Also some times the recent capacitive button is not as responsive as the back button, but maybe is because I didn't aligned perfectly the protector. I'm still very happy because is the best I've tried at the moment. The glass seems very strong.
[HTC 10 Accessories] nuts77:
Hi everyone. Coming back after a few weeks ! Best fit I've found so far (and I have tried a bunch !) : the Rhinoshield impact protection glass... I is just wide enough to cover all the display sides, and long enough to stop right before the curved edges. It's a bit tough to put right in the good position from the first time but as I tried a few i've kinda becomed used to it ;)

Here are some picture to let you judge !

[HTC 10 Accessories] ChronoReverse:
Oh so that's actually glass? I had seen that link and thought it was just tough plastic.
[HTC 10 Accessories] runtime_Err0r:
I have also tried Brotect flexible glass. Covers the major part of the screen, only the flat part and do not produces the halo effect... until the phone gets hot. Because is plastic at the end, the hot blends the plastic, making the glass to separate from the screen. After 1 hour of travel using the phone as a GPS, the protector was almost falling down because the blending of the glass. Then a lot of dust came into the screen and the protector was unusable.
[HTC 10 Accessories] vegetaleb:
My 2dn try with Spigen Crystal is pretty good, this time I have put the yellow stickers in the middle borders instead of opposite corners so I matched the design perfectly and without dust. The Squeegee thingy helped take out the bubbles though it made some white marks on 3 spots, 2 hours later they were gone like by magic :D

It's the best fit ever for the 10 and it's really so transparent that you won't notice it, the plastic touch feeling is there but like other said I should give it 48h to give better ''glass'' feeling for the fingers.

I hope it will last and won't trap dust on the borders
[HTC 10 Accessories] nuts77:
To be honest i'm not sure. It may be plastic but it looks OK, and strong enough...
[HTC 10 Accessories] codeglitch:
The experience with my spigen protector is not very good, it gets scratches from nothing, i gave it very light usage and in almost 3 weeks it went from unnoticeable to "I hate this spigen protector", please report if yours endures better than mine! :P
[HTC 10 Accessories] daniel2744:
I went ahead and ordered one. i should be getting it on monday. at this point i'm giving up on any glass protectors. i haven't used one since day 1 this phone came out because from everything i have read, there hasn't been a consensus on a good one that just works.

has anybody tried any of the nanocoatings yet?
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
Hi there,

As a lot of people have responded with whats been great and whats not so great, it may be an idea to post some links to the op showing whats worth buying.

IE: full screen protection.

Matt, glossy, privacy etc.

Just a thought :)
[HTC 10 Accessories] ChronoReverse:
Has anyone here tried Klear? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E9EXRHU

One of the reviews mentions that it doesn't reach edge to edge but that's what I'd want (I want the glass to only cover the viewable area).
[HTC 10 Accessories] mosincredible:
They can't spell shatter (Shaterproof); I don't trust their attention to detail.
[HTC 10 Accessories] dlads:
Got a this today, installed perfect no bubbles

However it does have halo and it is not edge to edge, even though the pics make it out to be on the product page .

Not happy. Is edge to edge tempered that hard to get on this? Or total matte I could live with, edge to edge (not tempered)
[HTC 10 Accessories] Gorgenapper:
Guys, save your time and energy. The Orzly pro fit glass protector is all you need, sticks perfectly and covers the whole screen. inclduing the curves I just got it and installed it, it is perfect. Screen edge to edge.

The older Orzly protector was not very good, this updated one is the last protector you will need.

Spigen Full Cover Glas Update #2

I recently posted my thoughts about the Spigen Full Cover Glas:

I removed it 24 hours after installing it due to the nuisance of not having a notification light or capacitive button light cutouts, but the protector was so promising, that I emailed Spigen to ask if they're updating this product to correct the blocked light issues. Their response:

Based on the recommendation of others in this thread, I purchased a Verizon Flexible Glass protector from my local Verizon store. It has been on my phone for five days now, and it's been perfect thus far. Since it is very thin, my only concern is it's long-term durability if I drop the phone or accidentally bump the screen on a hard surface.

My M7, M8, and M9 have all had (the much thicker, and more common) tempered glass for flat devices installed since day one, and those protectors have only suffered light scratching, and have never even come close to breaking (I still use my M7 every day and have never replaced the protector) -- not sure if the flexible glass will prove to be as durable.

For those still seeking a good tempered glass option, I highly recommend going to your local Verizon store (or maybe online) and trying it for yourself: it covers the screen without leaving gaps on the sides, it does not touch the Spigen Rugged Armor case and has not peeled at all, and it interferes very little with my polarized sunglasses.

I am not familiar with Verizon's usual return policies and practices (I am an AT&T customer), but the Verizon employee informed me that I had 14 days to return the protector for a full refund if I didn't like it. Breaking the protector is not covered under warranty, but 14 days is plenty of time to decide if the product is right for you.

The Verizon Flexible Glass meets all my needs, and I'm keeping it. :good:
[HTC 10 Accessories] shogster:
Do you have a case with it?Does the case lift the screen protector?I want to get some Spigen case,Slim Armor or something,and was wondering if these edge to edge protectors are good for this.
[HTC 10 Accessories] codeglitch:
I got my Orzly 2.5D Pro-Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector today, I installed it with ease, i waited 1 hour before putting my spigen rugged case on and the case does thouch the screen but i dont notice anything on it, I'm hopping its just sitting on it without any pressure.

I'm gonna wait a week before giving my final opinion on it, but it looks good, you only notice that the fingerprint is a little more down now but that is to be expect

edit: also the led lights look good, no problem seeing any of them, i guess its just about nailing it in place
[HTC 10 Accessories] ChronoReverse:
Mind taking some photos of the edges?
[HTC 10 Accessories] codeglitch:
I will try to get some tomorrow with someone else phone
[HTC 10 Accessories] TotallyAnxious:

I don't use those myself so I can't say for sure, but i think you should still get the same problem that you've without the protector
[HTC 10 Accessories] obk88:
sorry cant tell or believe...is that edge to edge?
[HTC 10 Accessories] codeglitch:
yes, there are others out there like this one, i don't believe they have any blue on the screen part, just the black borders of the screen, it really is as presented on the product pictures

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly®-Pro...8&qid=1471644644&sr=8-6&keywords=HTC+10+glass

it doesn't have a camera cut or led cut, but i don't think you would need because the glass is clear, just nail the holes and you will be fine

edit: also, someone asked about the dots, i thought they were asking about the ones on the HTC screen, the ones on the protector is only visible when the sun hitting on more directly i think, i don't really care about it
