Using stock screen protectors permanently a bad idea?

I'm planning on using the stock front, back, and side screen protectors for my new Nexus 4 but have not seen many people doing the same. Is anyone using the stock protectors or is there harm doing so long-term? I am planning on using this with a the Exact Armour Case (sold on Amazon) too...

The front protector ist often not applied very well and has symbols für Volume an Power printed on it.
The back protector fits perfectly.
Iam only using them till they fall off^^ I dont think they will last very long.

Why would you want to use them? It's got Gorilla glass 2, so it's not like it's gonna get scratched easily. The only protection you could get is against hitting and the screen protectors can't help you there.

Pretty certain that there's no side protectors. I'm still using the stock protectors until my BSE ones arrive. Problem is they are designed to be removed easily, especially the back one, so it's actually already coming loose just because my hand grazes the removal tab.

Because it's been established that the glass still scratches easily, even though it's marketed as gorilla glass. Mine got 2 micro scratches before I decided to put a screen protector on - it's a common issue.

Gorilla Glass is quite resistant to scratches from the key or coins (in your pocket) but a simple grain of sand can make visible scratch on it! I used stock screen protectors but they started to come off after a week, so I bought Spigen Dual Ultra Crystal for my Nexy and I'm definitely satisfied with it.:victory:

Some of the phones were coming with protectors around the sides too, some weren't.

How is the friction of the finger to the screen then? Is it much worse than without using a protector?

using the stock screen protectors is probably the worst thing you can do. They're not really even screen protectors at all. They are much more flimsy and thinner then a screen protector and why would you want to keep them on when the front has the buttons printed on them and the back has the IMEI on it. If you want protection get the SGP dual protector.

I think the OP is asking if the G3 comes from the factory with a screen protector on it like the anti shatter protector on the Sony Z and Z1
To the OP, no it doesn't come with one from factory.

Mine came with a screen protector from canada
From Lg G3 "the beast"

The device is provided with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 glass protection.
If you scratched it although that protection you better had then to apply a tempered glass like i.e iCarez or Ultimate Shield instead!

Was it new or second hand because the G3 shouldn't come with one.

I installed the iCarez 0.2mm tempered glass protector on mine. Cannot tell its there. The Verizon shipping plastic was getting rather chewed up.

It's very tough and easy to clean i say:good:
before mine got a replacement digitizer for dead pixels, it's always naked for a month.
in and out of jeans pocket countless time, no scratch at all:fingers-crossed:
and about factory screen protector, i think it doesn't have any. from the looks of "lg g3 drop test" in youtube

keys destroy only the size case and back..it wouldnt destroy the screen...dust and sand like particle kill the screen..
gorilla glass is harder than steel..but if you wipe it with a little tiny sand/rock...you will see how it destroy the screen

Too bad we European people can buy it from USA only (rather expensive when including also the Customs taxes...).
I can read only good words about it. :/

No screen protector?

Do you guys think that the S7 edge screen is good enough to go without a screen protector?
Asking because I bought one yesterday and the side of it has a lot of dust already. So not sure if I want to have a screen protector on it. Or can someone recommend a good protector for the edge.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

What does dust have to do with not wanting a screen protector?
None of my phones will ever be "naked". I usually get Spigen products but their screen protectors didn't have good ratings for the S6 Edge so now I don't know.

I just want something for my edge don't be so slippery.. I have to figure it out which one ... Some advices ?

The sides of the protector keep raising up and collecting lent and dust. I thought this would probably be more of a problem with the edge since the screen curves. That's why I thought maybe to not have one on it.

Link or release days?

is it gonna be rare to see tempered glass with full protection over the curve?

Not using one, saw a few drop and scratch tests, and it seems to be scratch resistant. Just using a case.

In another thread someone reached out to zagg. There estimating sometime in July lol so yeah I wouldn't wait too long for that to happen

I've ordered some dirt cheap tpu screen protectors but not too sure how well they fit until they arrive. The reviews were really good but they could be fake seeing as not many people have the phone. I'll wait and see.

They will be coming. For the S6E, it took a while b/c of the learning curve. The S7E glass should be coming out much faster.
I've been using glass on my S6E for about 7 months now.

I havent decided on a screen protector yet, maybe i'll just use a slim case, or tempered glass on the back, but not sure about the screen tbh...

I remember taking nails and trying to scratch the old iPhone when they first came out with gorilla glass just to show people how tough it was... We are on gorllia glass 4 now. I'd be far more worried about cracking the glass than scratching it...

Well, I own the s6 edge plus and I managed to get a ton of microscratches on the screen. That said, I only see the scratches in direct sunlight with it not really being visible indoors. This time around, I might go with a screen protector to avoid those microscratches. I'm assuming this is the same GG4 used on the front of the edge plus.

I just want something for my edge don't be so slippery.. I have to figure it out which one ...?

If you want some extra grip, look at slickwraps or dbrand skins for front and back coverage.

Note 10 Plus Screen Protectors

Received this clear protector from gadgetshieldz today. Here is a quick review about the product, the back protector and the camera protector fit precisely and gives this invisible look for a price of 11$. It will protect your device from minor scratches and fingerprint smudges.

Is the front case friendly and is it orange peel like in appearance like typical wet screen protectors?

anyone try the glass protectors with the uv glue?

If you are talking about the Whitestone Dome, then yes. It fits the phone perfectly and the fingerprint sensor also works perfectly. Follow the directions carefully and watch their youtube video before installing!

I agree. I just put mine on and works and looks great. Definitely follow the instructions and watch the video

I'm using PanzerGlass and it's fit perfect, case friendly, but I hate that "hole" for fingerprint sensor.. There isn't one on Dome glass, or?

No there isn't a hole with the dome glass. I had the panzerglass as well with my S10+. The hole didn't bother me too much and was for me a nice guidance to the fp. But I can imagine that people dislike the hole.

For your viewing pleasure

The Whitestone is pretty good but messesul the fingerprints . Found it cracks easily too but worth it for the security

I have been using these for a couple weeks, VERY impressed. I dont like the dome glass, and most films dont feel smooth. These are film, but feel very slick.

I'm currently rocking the zagg glassfusion. Its actually a plastic screen protector that I can honestly say takes a impact and have had no issues with touch sensitivity nor the fingerprint scanner. My only complaint is that it's not a completely clear protector as it has a black rim that goes around it. And the front facing camera is not covered instead I now have a black ring around where the camera sits. Otherwise great protector. I'm a traveling service tech. And my clipboard sliding forward and landing on my note 8 was eventually the demise of it with a total of three impacts to screen.... so far this glassfusion has taken two hard impacts from said clipboard. Without even a scratch....love the protector they just need it to be completely clear.

Whitestone has been near prefect so far using Supcase Unicorn Beetle pro I had to slightly file down the top corners of the case to prevent glass pulling up

Been using mine for 5 months now without a screen protector and not a scratch on it.
I haven't dropped it much though

Scratch repair?

I have someone willing to sell me a Note 10 Plus (512 GB Model) for $600. It has one annoying little scratch that you can catch your fingernail in on the screen. I'm curious if there is a liquid-apply screen protector or a filler out there one of you all has used that can take care of the problem.
Thanks in advance!

I have the exact same question

Throw a whitestone dome glass or similiar SP on it. That'll "bandaid" it enough whereas it'll appear nothing's there.

Agree with this....probably the cheapest solution available....from what i understand the liquid adhesive should fill the scratch and make it less visible.
Did you happen to check if perhaps the seller still had the stock screen protector still installed? I had a nasty scratch on mine..finally removed it and the glass beneath was pristine.

Any good screen protector will hide moderate scratches.

Consider replacing to glass in the long haul when doing the battery.
The plastic screen protector IQ Sheild is a wet apply, works well and may help conceal it nicely.
It's inexpensive and relatively easy to install.
I had a dog awful horrible experience with the Whitestone glass of Doom. They sent the wrong everything and didn't even say sorry. Took forever to refund.
Offshore shipped trashware... NO.
I was impressed in a most unpleasant way.
