I recently upgraded to a new Moto x4 phone to replace my beloved HTC One M8. I have some problems and challenges getting it set up but I'm fairly happy. One exception is the default keyboard that came with my fi Android One phone (v8.1) and that's Gboard. Perhaps I am spoiled by the lovely HTC Sense keyboard I've become accustomed to but for me there are some important features which are missing from Gboard.

Both boards. HTC Sense (left) and Gboard (right)

1. It's the mic or the strip. Notice above that the microphone on Gboard is attached to the suggestions strip so if you hide the strip you have no microphone. Personally I can't stand the suggestion strip and never use it on my old phone but I use voice to text constantly. I shouldn't have to chose.

2. There are no arrow keys on Gboard. This one is extremely frustrating because now I have to tap the screen 15 times to get the cursor where I want it. Repeat that action about 50 times a day and the frustration level is high. With arrow keys I know exactly how to move the cursor to the proper place so I don't have to stare at the phone while I engage in more target practice. HTC Sense does it right:

3. You cannot add words to the custom dictionary from Gboard. This one just boggles my mind. On all keyboards I've ever used if you tap a word that's not already in the dictionary you are prompted to add it to the dictionary. With Gboard you have to go to Settings>System>Languages & Input>Virtual Keyboard>Gboard>Dictionary>Personal Dictionary>English if you want to add words. Yes 8 key presses to get there... hope you still remember the word(s) you wanted to add. This is how it's supposed to work shown in context and from the suggestion bar:

4. No input settings button on Gboard. Not only does Gboard force you to go 8 layers deep into the settings to add words... they don't even give you a button on the keyboard to get you started. Once again the HTC Sense keyboard who's settings button takes you straight to input settings:

5. No tap to correct words/phrases on voice to text. On the HTC Sense if you use voice to text and see you've made a mistake you just tap the word and it brings up alternative words AND phrases to help you make a quick correction. On Gboard... you are tapping to place the cursor (lame!) and correcting it all manually. Examples from the HTC Sense:

Now in this case I would love to be wrong. If anyone knows a way to get these functions working (or correct me for being blind) please let me know. Currently I just have to put with a drastic reduction in functionality when I'm texting. I'm sure I'll get over it. ;)

Okay. Here it is. We can start the debate soon about which screen protectors actually work on this phone without Halo and bubble issues. It is always an issue with these curved glass screens but there are always 1 or 2 screen protectors that people can get to actually work. Please post which ones you have purchased and how well they worked.

Posting without pictures is not helpful to anyone.
[LG V40 Accessories] MStrawder:
Ordered the ones through Amazon from Mr. Shields and the case/protector from HanhuaTech. The Mr. Shields order gave me 3 and all 3 were nothing but bubbles. Never used their stuff before and highly disappointed. The latter was a nice case, but the screen protector has a black ring around the edges and is impossible to line-up so it doesn't cover the edges of the display area. No bubbles though. Just cut off part of my screen. Still looking. The Otterbox Defender does not include a screen protector.
[LG V40 Accessories] clninja:
I tried those Mr shield protectors with my v30 and they were garbage.

The supershieldz worked well with my v30 but the v40 version has that stupid black border which means it only has adhesive at the edges and will have the rainbow effect
[LG V40 Accessories] MStrawder:
Guess we're all screwed for a bit. For what this thing costs, I refuse not to have the tempered glass protector, but they all have the black ring or bubbles. Early adopter blues I guess.
[LG V40 Accessories] treesap:
Curved screens, like the V40 (and pretty much every flagship phone) have tend to have poor tempered glass adhesion, in my experience. It seems they all utilize only adhesive along the outer edge, leading them to come unstuck extremely quickly and easily. All of the reviewed models on Amazon, likewise, have this problem. Hopefully a good one will come out for this phone at some point reasonably soon.

I know that T-Mobile tried to sell me an overpriced one when I purchased my phone, though I'm not certain they had any in stock yet. If no models come out that stay stuck pretty well, I will take purchase one of theirs, as they will replace it every time I come in the store.
[LG V40 Accessories] nyttliv7:
Be patient and wait for IQ Shield LiQuidSkin, best on the market for curved screens. Available mid Nov.
[LG V40 Accessories] ^^1(2050]=7 1337:
I quite enjoy the bodyguardz one I got. It's aluminosilicate like gorilla glass and does have the black border, however I've seen 0 rainbowing. Also comes with lifetime replacements which I will probably thoroughly abuse.
[LG V40 Accessories] Pao23:
I just ordered a set right from their website. It didn't list that it wasn't in stock and ready to ship, so we'll see!
[LG V40 Accessories] nyttliv7:
Don't rush! The earlier you get it, the bigger the risk it's not properly tested yet (especially when it comes to curved screens). This early after release, you're the guinea pig...
[LG V40 Accessories] nyttliv7:
While I'm waiting for "IQ Shield LiQuidSkin" I ordered "PULEN Screen Protector"... I'll keep you updated!
[LG V40 Accessories] tveith:
I ordered the Poetic tempered glass screen protector. Works like a charm. 3 Days and still sticking no problem. No halo, rainbow effect, etc. Absolutely loving it. Fit is amazing and the feel is as good as the original glass, if not slicker. I'm using it with a Ringke Fusion-X case and they work perfectly together. The screen protector is case friendly and the gap between the glass and case is very minimal.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HNNBJLC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[LG V40 Accessories] nyttliv7:
I know PULEN hasn't got very good reviews, but for now, while waiting for LiQuidSkin, it's all good, fits almost perfect. Nothing I recommend though. The black frame covers a faction of the visibility of the screen (left and right side) :(

But totally OK. Let's see if it falls off before I get my LiQuidSkin?
[LG V40 Accessories] ps3hacker3:
I was just looking at the poetic glass on Amazon and can't seem to find a good enough review that specifies it the tempered glass fully seals to the device or only seals around the edges of the glass?
[LG V40 Accessories] justinkerng:
Just heard from Whitestone email support that they do not currently plan on producing Dome Glass for the V40... real shame. Maybe some other V40 owners can chime in to pique their interest?

I was also just looking at the Poetic before I came over here, and also wonder if it is in fact full-adhesive. Anyone?
[LG V40 Accessories] ps3hacker3:
I've been looking at that but but I'm in high doubts it's full adhesive
[LG V40 Accessories] Blown 89:
I just installed the Poetic tempered glass from Amazon and it has a massive rainbow effect. There clearly isn't any adhesive in the middle. Until someone makes a decent one it will have to do.
[LG V40 Accessories] larkhillv:
Dang, it seems so difficult to find good tempered glass screen protectors. Poetic seemed promising but glad you confirmed it is not full adhesive, since so many brands don't specify.
[LG V40 Accessories] nyttliv7:
Update!

Amid medium level reviews on Amazon, I have to say I'm surprised this pulen sp is working so well. Some kind of drier than normal glue, covers the whole sp, and if you place it perfectly, it's actually a very nice sp. The black frame slightly covers (1/10 of a mm) of left and right sides, but it really doesn't take away anything, not even the screen off blue notification around the frame. I'm not sure about the physical strength though. I'm a very careful person, never really drop my phone. No rainbow! No dust stuck around the borders. Right now I'm not sure I will order the liQuidSkin? I'm happy with this one :)

I'm using Key liquid glass screen protector. I can't stand the film protectors so decided to use this. It's a wipe on application, scratch resistant, 9H superior hardness rating, water proof and anti bacterial. Just clean the screen with the included cleaning wipe than apply the liquid screen protector via the included wipe. Let sit for about 5 minutes and you're set.
[LG V40 Accessories] Blown 89:
I did that with my V30 and it's scratched to all hell. I call shenanigans on the 9H claims these ceramic coating companies throw out. I did feel like it worked better than not having anything.
[LG V40 Accessories] ssavoy2k:
Verizon wireless has a Zagg but it's not tempered glass.
[LG V40 Accessories] justinkerng:
Impressive how fast they put a V40 kit together!

I just installed one with great results and couldn't be happier that Whitestone stuck their necks put to run a few off for us V40 owners :D

The kit's parts were as precise as I've come to expect (except the absorption pads had to be trimmed to fit the jig), and I reckon they cut the glass just small enough to fit an Otterbox, but it still looks great in the thin-rim TPU case I tucked this V40 into.

(Pics later if requested)

Would love to see some pics of this if this is the Whitestone domed glass from Amazon

So I've installed my:

"IQ Shield Matte Full Coverage Anti-Glare Screen Protector Bubble-Free Film"

and I love it!

If you like friction free e-paper feeling, no finger prints or grease, and if you, like me, never really drop and crack your screen, this is for you!

The visual experience is something you either love or hate. I love it!

Will post pics in a bit!

I would purchase one of the Whitestone protectors but on Amazon it claims that it 'blocks up to 25% of blue light' for 'my health'. Blue light is not bad for my health (unless it's bedtime). However, blocking blue light frequencies is a serious detriment on picture quality.

Has anyone experienced a change in Pixture Quality after installing? I'm looking at buying the T-Mobile glass if so...
[LG V40 Accessories] DxTcmix:
The T-Mobile glass sucks, it's not cut good at all (you will see a rainbow line on the edges of the glass) I think it is full adhesive (only plus) and the lifetime replacement.
[LG V40 Accessories] Rammv:
I bought the Glass m tempered glass screen protector. Not full coverage but fits well covers the screen, edges are beveled somewhat. But no bubbles and no seperation from screen. No rainbows. Had a similar on on my v20 just to protect screen. Saved screen a couple of times. So if you don't need full coverage protector this works well.
[LG V40 Accessories] DxTcmix:
I can confirm the Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass works with the Ringke Fusion X case. Love this Tempered Glass, it installed perfectly!
[LG V40 Accessories] twoxa:
My Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass came, fit is perfect and application went smooth, but, I got 4 strange dots around corners on the glass that's never really disappeared, one of them became a little bubble. Either I'm unlucky and got bad glass or, that's a part of their technical process of making those. Another complaint is that glue they using is little too rubbery, if it's sticking out a bit after application just leave it alone, if you'll try pulling it you may pull out some glue that's under the glass.

So, little disappointed for the price. Wish we had more full glue options.
[LG V40 Accessories] Blown 89:
The Poetic one on Amazon was garbage so I replaced it with the Glass M protector. The Glass M protector is so-so quality. It's full adhesive which is nice but the glass doesn't cover the screen. It's about 1 mm short on each side of the illuminated portion. It's also very brittle. I didn't get a full 24 hours before an edge chipped and sent a crack down the screen. I have no idea how this happened.

Pics

Photos taken with my wife's iPhone ;(

Don't know if it's even possible to see? But I wanted to share how this matte finish looked like. Reminds me of an e-book screen (e-paper), and I really like it! Smooth, dry and without friction. Almost impossible to leave a fingerprint or any kind of grease. It's perfectly fitted all over and around the curved edges. Tried to make the tiny bit of dust on parts of the edge visible, but it's almost invisible anyway. I do believe this is more a scratch and slighted bumps protector, and not anything like tempered glass. I love it though!
[LG V40 Accessories] twoxa:
Retract my last complain guys, turns out I didn't peel plastic of the glass before applying it lol. So I took the glass off, removed plastic layer, washed the glass and reapplied it with the second bottle of glue that comes as a backup with the package. All good now.

Whitestone dome is still the best full adhesive option.
[LG V40 Accessories] smacsteve:
I can tell you that Body Guardz makes their Pure tempered glass protector for the V40 and I'm very impressed with it. Overall for my money, Bodyguardz makes the best tempered glass protectors I've used yet.
[LG V40 Accessories] jambaj0e:
Whitedome Dome Glass is fairly expensive and requires a lot more work to install, but man, is it smooth. It actually puts the adhesive on the entire glass, not just the outside, and there clarity and responsiveness is best I've had on any smartphone glass protector. Plus it's backed by lifetime warranty so you can request a replacement if your glass breaks:

[LG V40 Accessories] 1914Macguyver:
Do you find that this one captures fingerprints like crazy?

I''m wiping my screen every 30 mins or so.
[LG V40 Accessories] larkhillv:
I just got my V40 yesterday and installed the regular IQ Shield case friendly version and so far loving it. It doesn't touch the edge of my Ringke case but still covers the whole display and is wayyyy clearer than my wife's Armor Suit film that she has on her OP5. It's practically 100% clear and all the bubbles seemed to have smoothed themselves out by now. No orange peel or rainbow effect, plus it's a two pack.

The only gripe I have is that it gets oily pretty quickly, but that happens with tempered glass too. While I prefer the feel and clarity of tempered glass, all of the cheaper ones seem to only have edge adhesive and I am not willing to pay $50 for Whitestone. So as car as films are concerned, I'd definitely recommend IQ Shield. Glad someone else had a good experience with this brand as well.
[LG V40 Accessories] umx:
White dome is out for the phone been using it for 2 months or so
[LG V40 Accessories] thumper338:
no warranty

Whitestone though better than all other tempered glass does not have the V40 glass as a warranty item. I've tried for months to get replacement glass without success. Warranty process says to register your product, but there is no V40 product on the registration page.

I ordered the eBay one. Should have it in a few days and will report back on how it fits. Been pretty frustrated up to this point with what I have tried.

.
[LG V40 Accessories] pereth:
Got the eBay one, and it is primo, love it, so much easier to see the screen outside now, same look and quality as no screen protector!

Just watch the Whitestone dome videos, and try to sort of replicate the process when applying. No need to use all of the adhesive in the tube, my phone got covered with it all over in the process, was too much using whole tube. You definitely need to have enough though... I would say emulate the amount you see in the Whitestone dome video, plus 15%. Be sure to cover front cams and speaker in notch with just enough tape, and tape up other ports and buttons as well. Have plenty of paper towels and rubbing alcohol ready.

Ended up with some bubble \ areas that didn't take the adhesive- worked them out with the backside of a comb and some patience, can't even tell now that it's all done, looks flawless.
[LG V40 Accessories] Macke93:
I've installed the Diplo tempered glass/plastic today and it works like a charm, totally case friendly. Only covers display and leave the front edges free.

For whatever it's worth, Whitestone Dome has the V40 screen protector on sale for $35.99, with 45% off with a coupon code, which brings the price down to $19.80 (with free shipping). You can buy one plus a spare for $40. Still expensive, but given no warranty, you get an extra one for the "normal" price.

PS found it - official website and coupon code online, cheers man.

[LG V40 Accessories] Fastbird:
Just got my V40 yesterday. Ordered an ebay glue down glass protector before I got the phone, and knew it would be a bit longer ship time so ordered the Glass-M protector from Amazon (along with a couple of cases). The Glass-M is "meh" at best. Bubbles that won't come out (the phone screen was virgin, straight out of the box, quick wipe down, on with the screen protector, no oils or anything on it), the protector is cut crooked (narrows at the top), and it's laughably short in height. But it'll suffice for a few days.

*Edit* Ok, weird. I walked away from it, came back and the bubbles were 90% gone.
[LG V40 Accessories] Fastbird:
Tried this ebay one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/UV-Liquid-...var=611453011168&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Glass was nearly as big as the phone. There was no way to get any case short of one of those bumper cases on the phone without pushing the glass up. Way too big IMO.
[LG V40 Accessories] resinis:
Very little orange peel, feels a lot like glass, no bubbles, doesnt peel even after a year of use (i normally replace films every few months!). I gave up on glass for the v40.. this is far superior for this phone https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077QKH77R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
