[Q] Screen protector or bumper case?

Should I get the screen protector or bumper case? I don't want the glass to break.

I'm getting the bumper and a screen protector. Cases are too unwieldy for my taste

If the bumper case come with carbon fiber backing, pretty sure I will get one.

A bumper cas with some sort of backing might be interesting, but I don't see much of a point with bumpers that are just going around the edges.

If the bumper case isn't too bulky I will get it. I can't stand bulky cases like otterbox etc..

i'm planning to get those book-style case, so no need for screen protector.

Where's the vote option for both?

I plan on having a bumper case with a Best Skin ever full body skin... Hopefully it all fits :X

Elliot, are you getting rid of your Infuse too?
I will probably get both, but for sure a bumper case. If I feel the need for a screen protector, I have used ZAGG before and I like there screen protectors, just gives it sort of an orange peel look to it though.

Both maybe,Screen protector for sure.Have destroyed too many displays

The Thickest case available in the market, the back glass breaks easily, the verge review is a proof, the phone then looks too ugly, i have destroyed cells by dropping and would not like to take chances with this phone

Screen Protectors that work with Bumpers?

Hi all,
I am using a Poetic Bumper with a Skinomi front and back skin. There corners keep coming up with the case. Does anybody have any recommendations or have successfully had a bumper/screen protector combination that worked? Thanks.

I'm using the cheap acase screen protectors from amazon. It's 5 bucks for a pack of three. Works well for me.

SGP duals. Best screen protectors for the N4 imo.

I'm using XtremeGuard on the back. If centered properly, it won't even make contact with the bumper.
On the front I've got a dry-apply matte screen protector. Because dry-apply won't curve with the screen, it's narrower than the phone and you can clearly see that there's a screen protector, but I prefer that over the rubbery feel of the wet-apply's.

Best Skins Ever make a case optimised protector

BSE's regular protector works well with the LG bumper (they even explicitly state it's the best version for the OEM bumper on their product page). However for third party bumpers like the Poetic they seem to recommend the case optimized version instead...
I have a pair on of the BSE regular front and back on my LG bumper and can confirm there's been no peeling as well as minimal gap between the bumper and the screen protector. But it does feel rubbery and has slight orange peel. I'd probably imagine the SGP would be better quality in those two points. However, it's been stated that they make those smaller so you tend to have a bigger gap between bumper and screen protector edge.

Which screen protector with diztronic case

I tried the Skinomi with the case just peeled up the corners and it was no good so what is the best protector to use with this case thanks

I have the diztronic mate black tpu using the SGP ultra crystal screen protector. Screen protector is slightly cut smaller due to rounded edges. Took of the case a few times no effect on screen protector. I must say that I just got the phone today, so I'm not sure what will happend overtime.

Definitely not good with XtremeGuard and Ghost Armor from my experience.
Seems like you really need a short cut screen protector with this case.

Rearth Ringbo pairs nicely with the Diztronic TPU case.

If you don't mine wet application Best Skins Ever makes a Case Optimized (slightly smaller to accommodate a case) screen protector. It's what I use with the Poetic Bumper. Don't have Diztronic to test but a Cruzerlite is in route. BestSkinsEver

I just got the case optimized screen protector from BSE. it is a little bit wider than the original sp that was shipped on the device from the manufacturer. Because of the additional width one of the corners has peeled up so I won't be taking the case off any time soon.

Seconded. Somebody on XDA said XtremeGuard went well with the TPU case- he mentioned a 2nd batch that supposedly had the right proportions, so i ordered one.
NOPE.
Started peeling off as soon as i applied the case. Removed it completely.
I really like the Diztronic case, but i wish it would ship with a screen protector like Nillkin does - a small one that fits with the case.
I might leave my N4 without any screen protection. Just the TPU case and my good old leather HTC pouch.

I agree.

Just got my Mercury TPU case amd it fits great with the Best Skins Ever case optimized screen protector.

I have an xo skins case optimized but haven't taken the bse case optimized off yet to try. The diz does not play well with the bse by the way. Peeled the normal and case fit ones.

[Q] Nexus 4 screen protectors

Hi every1,
I purchased my Google Nexus 4 one month back and it came with the lg screen guard or whatever you say it. Now I want to use a screen protector which is not glossy, maybe a matte finish and the most important thing is that it should be fingerprint resistant. Kindly suggest me the best screen protector in this category..

I always use Skinomi which is a thick and healing type of screen protector. It does pick up skin oil if you're oily, but you won't be able to see finger prints. I do like how it's nonreflective properties. Only down side is it's wet applied so you need to be careful to not give the phone water damage when installing it. I use this brand since they bundle 3M adhesive skin for the device as well.
Or you can go with tempered glass which put another layer of glass over the screen. XGear and iloome are two brands that does this.
I also heard good things about Spigan which is a dry applied kind.

Thanks buddy..
Wats your take on dry protectors. Is there something good in the market??

I just edited my post and give you a few more brands, check them out.
Erica Griffin on YouTube put up a few videos reviewing screen protectors that you can check out.
Also check out the accessories section, there are a ton of threads on this topic there.

Screen Protector or Tempered Glass?

I just got my G5 Plus. I want to know that is ok to have nothing on screen for protection or I get a screen protector or tempered glass?

Btw which ram variant you got? 4 GB one? How's initial impression? All good?

Yeah, 4GN one... All seems perfect... All good... Took pics as well.., Pic was very good crisp and very good

Screen protectors only protect from micro scratches, which will in any case be minimal on a gorilla glass protected display. Tempered glass (in india) are the cheapest possible slabs of glass with adhesive which makes any mobile look goofy and cheap. I really dont think either of this protects your phone in case of a fall. get a nice case and be done with.

Cool. I am waiting for mine to be delivered
Oh and ya I'll be using glass protector for bestest safety.

@ batmobile_bang Yeah I will be getting a good case for sure but was asking about the screen. As it attracts fingerprints so I was thinking to have screen protector on it. What you think? will it be good to have screen protector?
BTW i hate tempered glass

I am waiting for neelkin cases and screen glass to get released.
