I have a Ballistic case for my Nexus 4 but keep finding that it pushed the cornets of my skinomi screen protector up. Because of this the corners have lost their stick and keep peeling. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on screen protectors that seem to work with this case or any similar cases? U fear this screen protector will not last very long at the rate it pulls off the screen.
I saw a similar post from last month but only one reply and so any other recomendatikns?

It's been a while since you posted your question, and I don't have any real suggestions, but I have found the same problem with the Ballistic SG case and the GadgetShieldz screen protector on my wife's Nexus 4. I'm planning to get another Nexus 4 for myself and will get the Ballistic case, but if I get another GadgetShieldz protector I'd be inclined to trim the protector a little so that the edges of the case do not contact the protector; perhaps the same procedure would be appropriate for other screen protectors too.
BTW, although Ballistic does not offer an "SG Maxx" case (which includes a holster) for the Nexus 4, I have found that the holster for the Samsung Galaxy S3 (which I bought separately on eBay) seems to fit the Nexus 4 plus Ballistic SG case nicely.

After having mine for one day and really enjoying it, there are already two hairline scratches on the back, I'm fairly one of them (about 1mm long under the G under "LG") came with the phone, and the other I have no idea, as most people I've baby'd the device since I opened the packaging so there's something going on.
Regardless, it isn't really an issue but I'd like to get a rear protector to potentially stop further hairline scratches, does anyone have any recommendations as the Spigen dual protector has some awful reviews.
Cheers :good:.
Exact Armor
I spent about $7.95 for an Exact Armor case. Its not huge but has enough soft and hard protection where the back would be reasonably well protected. Any case like it would work, but its price sold me.:victory:
Spigen sgp steinheil screen protector for front and back. I love it!
Pardon me if I'm doing something wrong.
I had posted the following text in Nexus 4 Q&A and received 88 views and not one reply.
Just wanted a little help with my situation.
Hello everyone
Okay, So I installed the Google Nexus 4 Case / Bumper Optimized Total Body Skin from Best Skins Ever.
And except for an air bubble the size of a pin hole it came out flawlessly. Very happy.
That is until about three weeks of use with the shell gel case.
First it started to peel at the upper left corner and now at the upper right corner. Not happy.
And after a three and a half foot drop onto slate tile at Starbucks without a blemish. I learned something.
Until something better comes along, changing the case is not an option.
Anyone have experience with a different screen protector and the shell gel case?
I was interested in a hardened glass or something of that nature.
Someone should make a screen/case combo the equivalent to a Casio G-Shock for this fragile beauty.
I'm looking at you Weasel-box.
Anyway, if I posted this in the wrong place and/or did something inappropriate just know that it was not my intention to offend.
Now that I look at it, maybe the OtterBox jab hurt some feelings.
Seriously, any help would be appreciated.
I have the ballistics case and my invisisheold peels up near the front camera every day or so.

Any plastic screen protector should be fine with the ballistic case.
Invisible shield is a complete rip-off. Get XtremeGuard instead. If you don't like wet apply protectors, get dry ones.
I have this on my phone. And I also have a extra XtremeGuard protector in my desk draw. I have been using XtremeGuard for a very long time and I can say it's top quality.

Thank you both for the response.
@IRX120 Do you just keep pressing it back into place? That irks the piss out of me when it happens.
@scream4cheese How does the Skinomi feel to you? Closer to glass or that horrible rubbery orange peel that I've come to know from Zagg?
I emailed BSE about my situation on Sunday and quite frankly I thought I was going to get a how-to on reapplying the skin.
Not only did they email me back today, BSE shipped out a complimentary replacement today. No hassle. No questions asked. Didn't even try to hit me up for the shipping cost. Tracy M from BSE was courteous, professional and understanding in resolving my issue. Did not expect that from a screen protector company. If the second skin works, I'll definitely do business with them again. Otherwise, that XtremeGuard or Skinomi.
Regards
Was wondering if there was any new information about this. I have tried both the regular and optimized version for cases and they both get peeled by the Ballistic case.
Quick question, I was interested in a Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit case for my N4, but I was wondering if the case would lift up my screen protector (using a Extreme Guard protector, covers the glass edge to edge). If anyone with some experience with the case and a full covered screen protector let me know how it worked out for you I'd appreciate it.

I have a cruzerlite case. It does not have the lip around the edges. So it won't cause the screen protector lifts.

Anyone else have any info on this? I'd like to get some more opinions or info from more people so I can get a good general idea if it does lift screen protectors or not before I purchase cause shipping to Canada is damn expensive from Cruzerlite. From the videos I've seen it seems like it would since it covers some bezel so I would assume when putting it on it would, but if it's a tight enough fit I'm assuming it may or may not lift the screen protectors (wet apply types) either if put on properly right away,
You will need to head over to the accessory department of the Nexus 4 forum.

Can't find any ones that I like so far. I know the edge makes things difficult but all the glass one I've seen don't have adhesive all over just along the edge and the film one i bought doesn't stay down on the edge so has anyone found a good one or decent one?
Please specify it's full coverage...glass or film...works with case and of so what case

I try using the screen protector that came with the ghostek case I bought install it cover the entire front area of phone plus edges let set for about an hour try to put case on but everytime I did it would lift off the sides of the screen protector so I just took off the screen protector till I find that works. Also try the supershieldz ones same thing.
This is the one I am going to get https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7LQZW...TF8&colid=38DVAL1VV0RQM&coliid=I2N75A0MPNERT6

I was thinking about that one but im not sure about the wet install. I'm good at putting screen protectors on but I've never did a wet install before...i May have to check it out
If you have some time and patience go for the Invisible Shield hd dry full body coverage. I originally ordered a Naked skin from slickwraps but its been processing since the 18th. So when my N7 arrived today I went on the search around town and ended up in a Verizon store. They kindly put it on for me, took two tries lol. Mid-install the Verizon guy just rips it and balls it up and went to grab another. When I got home I went through the packaging and noticed he skimmed me on the install. and didn't install the back.. I tell you what that was the worst torture in my life but hey pics below! Came out beautiful. +extra dbrand lens laying around conveniently . :good: winning
I put on a IQ shield matte. I like the matte finish but it is not for everyone. There is some lost clarity but much less glare and no fingerprints. I like the wet install for no bubbles and being easy. It takes some time to let the edges dry so they will stick. Let it sit at least overnight before using or putting on a case.
My case (Spigen Ultra Hybrid)did cause the corners to lift, a common problem with cases. IQ Shield has since come out with a "case friendly" updated version that is getting good reviews. I've got one on its way.

I ended up buying the skinomi matte screen protector which stuck on the edges perfect. Went without a case for a week and then put the spigen neo hybrid on which is my favorite case of all time and it peeled the corners still. I warmed the screen protector and was able to reform the corners a bit and it helped but i still want a problem free combination
This is the case and glass screen protector that I use. The setup is perfect for me. You could use any screen protector with this case. It also holds the glass ones down and keep them in place.

Without clicking the link I'm gonna guess that's the unicorn beetle case. I have that myself and love it. I use the holster while at work
Great case. It works well with a glass screen protector.
I have an armorsuit on this phone, as well as several tablets and phones prior. Was originally skeptical of the curved edge, but it is working great so far. In the past 6 years armorsuits and common sense have kept me from having any cracked screens. And when I upgrade and sell the old phones, removing the armorsuit has always left a perfect as-new screen (but the housings usually have suffered damage from drops, etc.).

Is your tempered glass screen protector any good? How is the clarity? Sensitivity?
The clarity and sensitivity is great. I have one on my phone and my fiances phone. This is the third one we bought and its pretty close to the flat ones. Just line it up because the cut outs are exact. No room for error.
hi guys,
was wondering if anyone has found a good tempered glass to use with the s7 edge zerolemon case. all the one's i have tried keep peeling up once i place the phone back into the case. Please help if anyone has successfully been able to use tempered glass with this case. Thanks in anvance

As far as I'm aware, the consensus is that tempered glass protectors with the S7 Edge and the majority of cases simply don't work.
FYI, I've tried quite a few different protectors and cases here in the UK with next to no luck.
Just thought I'd inform you of my experience
So here's what I'm using.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZ02Y2I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It was easy to install and hardly noticeable.
The screen looses sensitivity and makes texting slightly difficult at times but still tolerable after you get used to it.
I also have an Otterbox Defender. I peeled the annoying screen protector off of that and installed this tempered glass protector then installed the case.
Flawless fit! Don't know anything about Zerolemon cases though.
Nevertheless, I'm very satisified with my tempered glass protector.
Also... perhaps your inquiry would have been better posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/accessories/curved-tempered-glass-screen-protector-t3320688
I used the original zagg glass and trimmed a bit off of the zerolemon case at the bottom chin.
It fits fine without modification with the new zagg glass.
I went to the extreme on this case because I been through more screen protectors than I should have. What I did was trim down the inner lip of the case that touches the screen. I used a slightly sharp exacto knife and slightly trimmed away all the hard edges surrounding the phone a little at a time. Doesn't take much trimming to get it to work. Mine looks not all that perfect but now my screen protector is good no problems
I'm on the same boat and unless there's a screen protector that only covers the screen and doesn't go up to the four corners, I don't think there are any screen protectors out there right now that won't get pushed in by a case.
How is it that no one has ever heard of GPEL tempered glass
(GEN 2) for the s7 edge. its amazing!!!
mine broke once & they even sent me a free replacement too!

Here's a review of the GPEL one. It's not a positive one.
"Review of the GPEL Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge"
https://youtu.be/FZxTsYOQdak
i've had this tempered glass for about 2.5 months now. I use it with the samsung leather case & the ringke slim case.
as long as you dont use a case that extends/overlaps over the edges this works beautifully!!
i wouldnt mind buying this again! Highly recommended!
---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------
the glass reviewed in the above video is gen 1 which i admit did have issues.
they had fixed most gripes with gen 2 since!

I ran into the same thing, but I found the Zagg Invisible Shield glass curve for S7 Edge. It is expensive, but it is a bit smaller than the others so most cases don't affect it and work fine. I'm currently using it with the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Hybrid case.
So far this is the only curved glass screen protector that works with anything more than a minimal case.
Here's the link to the screen protector:
