Would it be possible to have a glass screen protector that makes the screen flush with the surface of the phone?
Would it be possible to still use the touchscreen with said protector?
Is there some company that makes these?

If these were readily available, the iphone wouldn't have been half as innovative. . .

Yes but I don't know any brand.
Huh really? I think it'd be nice. ONe of the reasons i'm leaning towards the touch dual/touch is that the screen is flush witht he surface, and it makes pushing things like the x-button really easy without the stylus. I don't particularly like the stylus.
We need to find some company that will make these for us.

If you had a screen protector that thick, I don't think the touch screen would be very functional.
When you said glass screen protector, you mean using 'glass'? that won't be possible. Not sure how johnny88 get his answers. Anyway, the touchscreen uses a series of X Y grids of 'wires' within to detect 'touches'. Having a glass (i.e rigid) or even thick plastic scr prt will make the whole lot of these grids touching, making it impossible for the screen to actually know where you are touching. It is like replacing the stylus with a .. .. big square.. er.. glass. Logically, it (glass) wont work. Even with a thick plastic scr ptr wont work as well. It is like.. hmmm... put a piece of paper over your palm, and poke it with your stylus. You know where the stylus is by just the feelings on your palm. Replace the piece of paper with a piece of thicker paper.. (er.. or card board, notebooks, the telephone directory), and you loose the senses. Same goes for putting a glass on your palm and tyr to feel the stylus through it.
It will work though if it uses IR light as sensor.. .. which if it does, we already have multi touch capabilities.
so..no hope huh? I really would like it flush, but whatever. I guess i can just use the stylus.
By glass i meant sort of like how the iphone surface is. I'm aware that IR leds can be used to make multitouch displays.
But if the thick plastic interferes with the working of the screen, then how do the normal screen protectors function.
because normal scr prt isn't that thick (or not thick enough). Probably it does reduce the sensitivity of the touchscreen (i.e. the touchscreen may have a resolution of a dot of 0.5mm, which increased to 1mm due to the scr prt), but at a not noticible manner. E.g., poke yourself with a stylus, cover yourself with a tissue, poke it again. it feels the same because tissue is thin enough.

This is just a quick post with my comments on the invisible shield, in case it's useful to somebody looking for a screen protector...
Pros:
- Thick, feels very protective. No worries about putting it in a pocket and getting it scratched from keys or change
- Air bubbles really do work themselves out after a few days of use, even on a completely ham fisted install!
- Doesn't affect screen, you can still see it in daylight without rainbow or mirror effect.
Cons
- B****rd to install. Way fiddly because of all the little corner flaps and cut out bits.
- Slightly sticky to the touch means finger glide action isn't what it could be. Also scrolling with a stylus seems much more hit and miss than without the protector
- Not particularly cheap.
I'll be keeping mine - I'm mainly concerned about protection (which it should excel at) and with a little adaption you can get used to the decreased screen sensititvity. I find using the back of the fingernail to scroll actually works better than a finger.
As an aside, the best protector I had in terms of a balance between feel and protection was a generic cut-to-size one from Palm! Unfortunately it only covers the display part of the TP2 front, it's not big enough to cover the whole front.
Hope that helps someone!
Marc.
Hmm, i was thinking just installing the back part for scratch protection and keeping the normal screen protector that comes with it, i find that the protector that comes with it gives it that capacitive feel to it in that the screen doesnt push in as it used to without the protector ... because honestly i dont think the screen feel and senstivity is something i can compromise .. my 2 cents

I forget to inform them not to apply the Raceshield screen protector as it is too thick and it gives a funny and unresponsive feeling when you touch the screen.
I might change the screen protector to Martin Field instead.
does the invisibleshiled protect my device when it´s falling down to the ground?? or will the phone be damaged??

Invisible Shield protect your device from scratches only.
If it falls onto the ground, it'll damage your phone for sure.
Get a pouch or a case if you need that kinda protection.
i have just installed the invisible shield on my touch pro2, not particularly hard, because I have lots of experience installing these.
But if you are a noob, it will be very tricky.
Even if you install it properly, you might still get dust or dirt underneath, and you may not realize it until it has dried up, which is too late.
I got some big bubbles underneath, waiting for it to dry.
I would only recommend the invisible shield for the back part, as for the screen, it is better to stick with a regular screen protector.
Scrolling and figure gestures are not as smooth if you use the invisible shield,
i will post pics up later! cheers.
I put my IS on last night. My impressions:
1. The back fits very nicely.
2. The front doesn't fit quite as well, but you can get it on with enough patience.
3. There are a few small bubbles, I'm still waiting for them to go away.
4. Today the bubbles are still there, and the front has a rather sticky feel to it. I don't like the feel.
5. The back cover sticks very well to the gell pad I use in my car. (bonus!)
6. I don't like the ridges on the sides left by the front cover.
7. If the bubbles don't disappear completely, I will find a replacement for the front cover.
Doesn't the phone come with a proective cover on the back already and a screen protector for the screen? I would have thought that would be enough?

The 'cover' on the back is just part of the back's design.
And the screen protector that comes with the phone, well, not sure about everyone else, but mine peeled off within a few days of it going in and out of my pocket.

The "cover" on the back, which can sorta be seen when you look at the volume rocker doesn't come off, which is why I said it's just part of the design.
You can place any protection you want on it.

Also, not just what it looks like on the physical device, but some good pictures of what the SCREEN looks like with phone on? So many screen protectors distort the screen image (thinking to my mother's ipod touch screen protector that makes the pixels all rainbowy and aliased looking) and I have yet to see ONE picture of what the actual display looks like when the screen is on.

Sorry, I have no photos to offer. I can tell you that the screen does look a bit "rainbowy" when I have polaroid sunglasses on. (When driving) It's enough to be a minor annoyance, no more. Still very easy to see the screen, which is a big plus comin from a Tilt that could not be seen at all in my roadster.
Also, as a general follow-up to my earlier rant-
All the bubbles have worked out, and I've grown accustomed to the sticky face. So I will keep the IS on my TP2. I really likethe idea of the phone being well protected from all the abrasive items that find their way into my pockets.
I have a little scratch on it, like 4 mm long and when i have a white background, its very good noticeable, it deforms the colors.
I have no screen protector, i ordered 1 yesterday, but it seems i'm to late. I always keep my G1 in the nice pocket that came with it.
Can i do it away, or do i have to live with it ?

there is a way for non - touch screen phones but i dont think there is a way for touch screen ones, however i could be mistaken
sanding paper 6000 grit+ ( gluck finding those )
or maybe cd scratch remover
I never tried any of those so you might want to wait for a more appropriate answer
** I remove my ps3 scratches with 2k grit sand paper , some wax and voila no more scratches but I'm really not sure if 6000 grit paper or even 8000-12000 grit paper might do the job for a screen. Try it on a very old screen if you ever want to try sanding down your screen
Try using tooth paste, yes toothpaste, the colgate kind, it has some grit to it. No guarantees though, be careful, not responsible for minty fresh dead phones.
or google that stuff advertised in the late 90's to remove scrathes from eyeglasses... was I thing a self leveling polymer or some such.... but not to expencive

This is your best bet but you're going to have to be careful not to leave any on the screen where there is no scratch.
These are capacitive touchscreens, the surface of the glass/screen is special.
bad recommendation. sorry
Edit: Nevermind... Applesauce only works for ipods. Evidently it's too abrasive for the iphone, so it would be too abrasive for us too.

Attention: use only on non-coated surfaces and plastics; when used on mobile phones, treat only the transparent portions of the display lens. Not for use with touch screen displays.
Google "displex for touch screen" and you will come up with a ton of results saying it is not for touchscreens, especially capacitive like the G1 because it will remove the indium tin oxide that conducts the electric flow across the screen.
i guess sanding is out of question then
i tough there was some plastic protector to protect the real screen
Some of the screen protectors can hide scratches when applied. The Invisible Shield has been known for this due to its flexible material. No guarantees though.

I can confirm this, I actually just used a screen protector on my old VX6900 Vogue, it made most of the scratches disappear except for this one very very deep one.
I got some of the mirror protectors, a bit meh, kinda covers one of the 2 small scratches on my screen (not that they are that noticeable anyway). I have the standard kind in the post, so I'll try one of those when they get here.
Vaseline works great on most standard LCDs. The day I bought a 19" WS LCD I knocked it over, coffee all over it, but on it's way down it caught the edge of my baccy tin, leaving a bright blue stuck pixel in the middle of a scratch (arghh). Luckily I was able to massage out the pixel and cover over the scratch with some clear Vaseline, it's still visible, but only from extreme angles (way beyond the viewing angle of the screen).

Yeah I mean it won't work on a phone, it's pretty good on a proper LCD, I think because the refractive properties are far closer to the material than air.
Ok, long story short: I am a neat freak!
I have the original screen protector on my phone,
I am using a silicone case that covers everything apart from the screen, the three buttons and the camera lens and flash, of course.
I was wondering, are there any pre-cut film protectors that fit into the lens?
I know that this may compromise the photographs taken with the camera,
but I find myseld worrying that I will get my lens scratched by a key or something, and that would compromise the camera permanently.
So, any suggestions?
PS: Please don't flame...
I am using the Martin Fields Screen Protector that comes with a lens protector also.
Not flaming, but maybe just keep your phone in a different place to your keys...
Keys in pocket A, phone in pocket B.
Solved.
Works like a treat for me.
Also, the camera lens it pretty hardy - I was worried about it scratching too, but I've had no issues... Also, a crappy protector on the lens is probably going to take worse pictures than a slightly scratched one...
i always use neoprene pouch for my mobile phones.........they are just great, they are not big so you can put your phone in any pocket, they arent tricky to take your mobile out when you need to answer, and they protect your mobile all the time, so no scratches at all
i change my mobile every year and after a year they look like new...
You have the orginial screen protector, as in the film that is stuck to it when its in the box? You still have that on the phone? Doesnt it have a tab hanging of it so you can pull it off, wouldnt that be getting all tattered by now.
P.S. I would call that a screen protector, the phone doesnt really need protecting while its in the box. Its more for finger prints and stuff.

No, no, I meant I have that factory pre-applied screen protector that is really hard to see (only if you notice the corners under direct light).

How susceptible is the screen to scratches. Is the thin plastic film covering the display intended as a screen protector or can it safely be removed.

It holds like hell. This film it is not like many, which is not usable after few days. From my site is amazing. Score for LG
I wonder if the screen without the protective film is easy to scratches.

Did you remove the film?
No, I didn't. It perfectly fits and I have not reason for do that. I tried scratch direct display on edge and it seems, that this plastic is hard, but it is possible to scratch it relatively simple. BUT I haven't too much experience with touch displays, and of course - this is not too much expensive phone which should be scratch resistive.
maybe if you have found a perfect replacement for the default screen protector film, try using a scotch tape on the edge, then simply peel it off together with the film protector.
or will it not work? *lol*
I removed original screen protector, and after 1 month of use, even tho i payd attention to the phone i got 2 little scratches in the middle of the screen
Obviously is not a gorilla glass, but simple plastic

Hi
I have this case :
https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s8-case-crystal-shell
I tried both Samsung original plastic screen protector:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKnJsETNYQ
And the olixar case friendly glass screen protector.
Both suck. Either the touch is bad either the case lifts it up.
Can anyone recommend me a screen protector that will get a long with my case? or any combination of screen protector and a case that will work together?
No glue / wet apply please. Only conventional stuff
Thanks
From what I have seen the gpel case friendly screen protectors seem to be about the best option.
They come in clear or black edges I hear the clear shows dirt build up around the edges
Do you mean this one

Not at all... Touchscreen works perfectly. And works with lots of cases https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
It only takes some time to install it correctly, you can't rush it and expect great results.
But you better check some install videos, and the topics here on xda. Since this is glued to the screen, not just a strip on the edges, this feels as good as the naked screen and no dust can get beneath
I prefer something without glue/ liquids..
Whats the best dry apply option on the market?
It's wet apply, but I've had no issues with this one besides it taking a little extra time to adhere to the curved edges. it's been perfect on my case (not the same one) and looks good as well. Lifetime warranty too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072B8MLF3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
