The screen protector that the G Pad ships with doesn't have any text or logos on, unlike pretty much any I have seen before.
By snipping off the removing tab I have the best and cleanest-fitting screen protector I've yet had on a tablet or phone. I can never quite get them on perfectly, so thanks LG for making the one it ships with clear! (Particularly as the Ivso case didn't ship with one.)
Agreed. I used the ad hoc screen protector until my matte protector arrived in the mail. Unfortunately I didn't cut the little tab off right away, so both my toddler AND my wife had fun peeling it off when I wasn't looking, and as a result I got bubbles. Still, it is a fantastic job while it was there!

Hello,
Since i'm constantly wondering how thin with a case i can go, I thought it would be interesting to hear what did it take for you to crack LG G2 Screen.
Did you use a screen protector? Tempered glass? Case? (tpu, hybrid...)

I had mine in one of those ultra-thin 99p cases from ebay (the ones that they claim are 0.3mm thick) and no screen protector. I dropped it while getting out of the car (so probably only about a 2 foot drop), and it landed perfectly face down on some slightly rough concrete. It smashed the screen up fairly badly. To be honest I'd call it bad luck - I reckon if it had landed at any other angle it would have been OK, or at least not badly damaged.
The best protection for your screen comes in the way of care and handling of your phone. As far as cases go, I prefer the tech21 d30. It's relatively thin, and has impact resistance built in. It has also, a nice rudge surrounding the screen, for face down protection.
I am new to the Zenfone, but one thing I have noticed is there have been what look to be identical cases (flip cases) for past models.
I am considering the Zenfone 3, but am wondering if official flip cases are made by other companies who market under their own name, such as seen in this Italian video comparing an ASUS snd a Nillkin case.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMKKKHOkqMY
Anyone know?
I have seen other models that also look the same, such as TopAce, etc. Nillkin gets the most hits. Are they the makers of the official case?
Related question. Will a flip case take a tempered glass screen protector? I tend to think no since there is also a protective screen built into the case. As such, maybe better to get a good bumper or other case with a tempered glass protector? But I hear the zenfone 3 is partly curved and may be a challenge for such glass protectors.What do others have to say? Thanks!
I have this one. Not expensive at all, closes with magnets, and has excellent protection on all sides (the phone fits in a soft elastic plastic) . Sorry it's on Amazon France but I guess you can find it almost everywhere https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01EHP3STS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought the LG V20 from a T-Mobile franchise store on November 29th, 2017. So for $384 I got a phone that was $800+ a year earlier. It still is pretty solid, and has been my daily driver since purchasing it. In this video I do an unboxing, go over a few features, and show off multiple cases, listed here in order of favorite to least favorite:
Spigen Liquid Crystal LG V20 Case
LG Quick Cover
Incipio NGP Advanced Case
Nillkin Hard PC Slim Matte Back Cover
J&D Shock Resistant Protective TPU Slim Case
I also show a size comparison with my Huawei Mate 9, and the LG Battery Charging kit BCK-5200.
I'm just jumping from the Moto x4 to S9 Plus
My protector option is one from the ************. I really love to have my S9Plus away from the scratches. As I'm having previous experience with the ************so I'm suggesting to get one from them.
They started shipping but I didn't got mine. Have you bought one from them and received it??
I bought the one from BigBen. Fit perfectly. No problem after 1 week. Just improve screen sensitivity.
I just installed the Whitestone Dome Glass on my S9+. Very easy to install and looks great so far. It doesn't seem to be compatible with the Spigen case I bought though, particularly the lower portion, I'm going to let the glue cure a bit longer and try it again.
UPDATE: I had the dome glass installed just a bit too low on the screen. I removed the glass and adhesive, then reinstalled and made sure the dome glass was correctly centered on the screen. Works great with the case now. Highly recommend this.
Bodyguardz is a more expensive option, but lifetime warrenty. I want to say it's about 10 bucks shipping for the warrenty replacements. I got mine at AT&T when I got my s9 plus yesterday. They installed it for me but it comes with a guide thingy like the Whitestone one.

It's a glass screen protector. Case friendly.
Tried the bodyguards pure arc. Complete garbage. Horrible sensitivity and it's a fingerprint magnet

I just received my spigen 360 thin fit today and this is a pretty good screen protector especially when paired with the case. The touch response is good and I don't feel the need tho enable the setting for screen protector under advanced options.

I bought one too, and concur. Fingerprint magnet, and ruins sensitivity. You have to turn on increase sensitivity in the advanced settings, and still it's a bit wonky.

I got the Spigen neo flex today and had no issues installing on both of our phones. Seems to fit very well and touch response hasn't changed.

OMYFILM Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Tempered Glass Screen Protector [Bubble Free] [Case Compatible] 9H Hardness Screen Protector for Samsung S9 Plus (S9 Plus, Black)
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-S9-Pl...rotector+for+Samsung+S9+Plus+(S9+Plus,+Black)
Amazon.com link above. $9.00
Got this on Amazon.ca for under $15 CAD, it's curved, applied with zero bubbles and it works really good after raising the screen sensitivity.
Just installed the whitestone dome, I simply couldn't be more impressed. Make sure you watch the installation video a couple of times before applying… but it is hands down the only protector i will be buying from now on for all of my devices.

Otao case friendly
I got the Otao case friendly version for the S9 Plus from Amazon.com (ASIN: B07BSFLLKY). Rather than give a separate review here, this is what I have added as my review on Amazon. I hope this is allowed.
I had the Otao on my S8 and was very happy with it. On one occasion I dropped my phone. The screen protector cracked, which is what you would expect from a glass screen protector, but it saved the screen of my phone.
I was a bit wary when I read the first reviews of the S9 Plus version (which had a different ASIN number) but then I heard they were updating it. They reached out to me to offer me to try the new one (free of charge) which I just received. The main complaint about the previous version was not enough glue on the edges (it is edge only sticking) but the new version apparently has more glue and it certainly has stuck well on my S9 Plus. Obviously, the proof of the pudding will be it it still sticks well after it has been on a while and I will update my review if it develops a problem.
The installation tray makes it very easy to instal.
I am using it with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case and they fit together very well.
As I said, I did not have to pay for the protector but this review is my honest opinion and, if I did not like it, I would have said so.
Just to add - the packaging recommends turning on the touch sensitivity setting in Settings but so far I haven't found that necessary.

Does the glue cover entire surface of the screen or only the edges?
I’m looking for one that covers the entire screen most I’ve seen only covers partial off the top and bottom so it still looks like there’s a screen protector. I need fill coverage from top to bottom.
Another vote for the whitestone dome!
I've tried several tempered glass screen protectors since the S6+, and they all suck because the adhesive has trouble sticking to the edges so the sensitivity is terrible. The dome is the first I've used that I'm legitimately happy with.
The installation process is really intimidating at first because the process is different from your typical screen protector. But once you do it once and get the technique down, it's actually pretty fool-proof. The tray basically ensures that the alignment is perfect and adheres well. I happened to screw up the first time because my table wasn't fully level and the adhesive didn't disperse evenly and I got a tiny bubble...so don't take that little detail for granted. Luckily they give you two bottles of adhesive, and when I moved to a level counter and put it on a second time the adhesive spread perfectly on its own and it was really easy.
