Hey guys. So I just received my zerolemon 9h screen protector and had a question for anyone that uses it. First off I love this screen protector and battery. AMAZING quality on both. With the screen protector I got a small hair under it somehow while I was working. Is it at all possible to pull the protector up to remove it without ruining the protector? As in without compromising the static stuff on the back. Thanks in advance!

I would say no... It will attract more dust... If you do it in a dust free environment you may be able to... Maybe in the bathroom after a steamy shower. The steam will settle the dust in the air.

I've had success getting that kind of stuff off by peeling off the screen protector and then placing the adhesive side on some scotch tape (magic tape). Be sure to lay enough strips of tape to cover the entire face of the screen protector. The tape isn't sticky enough remove any adhesive but good enough to get the dirt out. I've done this on the ZeroLemon protector when I got my device replaced.
Alright thanks for the advice. I'll give it a go when I get home from work in a few days!

Steaming bathroom, very clean hands and nails, scotch tape if needed.
I lifted mine off 3-4 times when setting it because I couldn't get it to a long perfectly.

Tons of threads about screen protectors.
Check those out.
i always go with a clear protect from ebay. I end up getting 6 for like $5 and i change them out if they get scathed or starts to not look clear.
Normally i can go about 6months without a problem. Other times its been a yr.
The never used a glass protector before but i have heard that some of them are very hard to get off and then its still glass so it can scratch. While others will loose there glue and come off.
Illome flex. No problems with the glue though I haven't needed to take it off. Yeah it can scratch but it's much harder to scratch than a plastic protector. You can't even begin to compare to clarity and feel of a plastic protector to glass either.

I like the Verizon TPU Holster/Case, and so wanted as thin a protector as possible. It's a little on the pricey side, but I went with the 'Just Like Glass Nano' and am extremely pleased with it. Just as thin as a plastic screen protector, but with the clarity and smooth surface texture of glass. Gives me the best of both worlds.

I've been a fan of Skinomi for years. They have a glass product now that has camphored edges and zero degradation in touch sensitivity. I got one for my G2 and put one on the G3 minutes after unpacking.
Order from them directly or Amazon.

I received mine today. Installation was very easy and thus far I'm very pleased with the selection. I was going to go with iLoome but this screen protector is definitely worth it!
Update *
So I took my Spigen slim case off and I just realized when I turn my phone horizontally, screen facing up, and look at the screen protector...you can barely tell it is on! This thing is super thin and I didn't realize it after I put it on because I slipped the case on prior to putting the screen protector on. Quite a difference from the iLoome I had on my iPhone 5S! This thing is holding up great as well! So far no scratches and smudges wipe right off.
It is slightly smaller than the full G3 screen, but just slightly!

Just got mine today too. The fit is good although there is a 1mm gap on each side. I love how the edges are curved though. Definitely worth the money.

Not hard at all. Yes it was a dry install. I just started on the earphone side and used a credit card to put it on evenly.
Also another way to install these is to get some tape.
Align the screen like you want it and make a hinge out of tape.
Remove the adhesive while the protector is still hinged and slowly close the protector down on the glass.
A little late to the party, but I HIGHLY suggest this. I already had a small scratch on my screen, I am quite careful with my phones, the screen is not impervious to scratches, The Skinomi went on without any hassle, super easy dry install, clean screen, peel plastic, and drop it on. Zero bubbles, feels as good if not better than the screen itself and I haven't noticed a single issue with dead spots or hitting icons etc.
No better $15 spent imo. I had some very annoying scratches on my G2 screen after about 6 months, very apparent in the sunlight, I imagine this is a pretty easy replacement if I get scratches on this screen.
I took off my stock screen protector a while ago and installed a tempered glass screen protector since the stock glass has no oleophobic coating and feels a little sticky. Well my screen protector chipped so I removed it and applied a coat of rain x. It feels great! Still slightly more sticky than gorilla glass but much better than the stock glass. I applied some to the back glass too just for protection under my case. The glass is more shiny and attracts fingerprints less. Any fingerprints are wiped off easier. I highly recommend using rain x instead of a screen protector after removing the stock layer. Now I'm pissed that I spent so much on those stupid screen protectors that are hard to apply perfectly and chip/crack after a few months.
..exactly what tempered screen protector did you buy? You have a link?
Great idea!!
Might use this on my new mobile phone, as I am looking to upgrade to this model.

I started with the one everyone on here recommends, m-glass. I got some crap under the front glass so I ordered the explosion proof front protector off amazon. The front protector chipped near the microphone after a few months and when I removed my case I noticed the m-glass back had cracked. The glass protectors feel nice but are too expensive and not durable imo.

Not sure if you want to be in regular contact with those chemicals: http://goo.gl/yLmN1d
Known eye irritant.
May want to consider something less toxic like http://goo.gl/le5xtW if you want to go down this road.
So, I did this. Looks like a lot of forums have threads about Rain-X yielding positive results.
I also found this post and followed one of the comments.
Not sure if its available everywhere, but for glass coating I use Gtechniq G5. It lasts way longer than Rain X.
Applying is the same for both, tho.. The trick is to clean the screen as good as possible, and use something alcohol-based to make the surface free of residue from the cleaners. Put some G5/Rain X on a cotton patch and apply it in a THIN layer on the glass in "up and down" movements (not circular). Let it sit for a while (2-5min), then apply a new layer the same way on top of the previous layer and let that sit for a while again. Use a clean hot water-moist microfiber cloth to buff it off, and a dry one after.
Let the glass cure for a couple of hours (NO TOUCHING), and your good to go. The G5 coating should last for at least 6 month, and your glass screen should be resistant to dust and fluids. MUCH easier to clean too!

Nice! I'm in need of another coat of Rain-X, it definitely wears off. Let us know if you try the G5.
I am new to the Xperia z3, and have had it for about a week. I love the phone but am curious about the screen protector that came with it. Generally I use the zagg invisible shield or the armorsuit military shield, but fell in love with the ease of the electrostatic matte one. The level of protection it offers is sufficient for my needs but I love how easy it was to remove residual dust from under it without ruining it or having residue. Does anyone know by chance where one can get more or what brand ships with the phone?
would you try glass4m protector?
My Z3 didn't come with a screen protector so that doesn't help you. But I prefer Crystalusion for protection and fingerprint resistance. It wears off in about 5-6 months of heavy use but the screen protectors I've used (plastic) don't last any longer. I've not tried glass protectors.

I've never tried glass screen protectors before. If I found a good deal, I might be tempted, but that seems a little overkill for my use.
I'd never say glass protector is an overkill. It gives you solid additional protection plus the feeling under fingers is vastly better. You can get non branded ones from eBay which will do the job just fine for 5USD or so.

Dry install. Much much easier to install then foil as you can hold all four corners. I believe it uses some sort of invisible adhesive. Also, you don't have to push any air bubbles out, it pushes air out itself.

I think glass protector is easily install between tradition protector.
Hey guys it's my first post on XDA. I hope this will be helpful for people who are looking for a full coverage screen protector for their brand new Galaxy S7.
First of all, as you all know that the S7 screen has an even worse curve than the S6. Therefore, it has been a nightmare for me to find a screen protector that covers the whole screen without lifting on the edges. ( major OCD User)
I got tired of tempered glass and PET cuz they don't cover the full screen or don't fully stick on the edges so I decided to go with TPU.
i-croo Screen protectors are flexible TPU material that will curve with your screen and stick completely no matter how curvy the edge of the screen is. The cut outs are extremely precise and coverage is great ( i would say about 98% of the screen). The clarity is supered ( tried Yootech S P which cover the whole screen but makes screen looks grainy and has rainbow effect). You can't even tell there is a screen protector on unless u pay very close attention. These screen protectors provide much better protection against scratches or drop compared to PET.
The screen protectors comes with everything you would find with other screen protectors. However, these come with an installation tool ( which i did not use cuz i prefer not having too much stuff near the phone that has dust particles which can be attract by the static charge when you peel the screen protector off), but it think it might be helpful for those who are not skilled at aligning screen protector. The best part is it is a dry installation so you can use dust removal sticker to get rid of dust particle if there is any under the screen. ( Can't tell you how much i hate wet installation which collects tons of dust and fingerprints). In addition, they are very thoughtful and included a hard squeegee that is cover with cloth tape so you would not scratch your screen protector.
The reviews of these on Amazon are not great but trust me this is the best solution for now until they can make curved tempered glass that fully adhere and not just the outside edge like Coral Glass). It works great with Ringke slim case ( will update with 3 more cases soon: Spigen rugged, BLIQ Flex Pro Espresso, and VRS Design-High Pro Shield )
In summary.
PROs:
- Prefect fit, full coverage
- Extremely clear ( almost invisible)
- Fully stick
- better protection than PET
- Dry installation
- thoughtful presentation
Cons.
-might be hard for some to install
- little bit hard to peel off ( tip: use a small dust removal sticker to hold the corner of the screen protector as you peel it off to prevent getting fingerprint under it, also makes it much easier to peel)
- not sure if it will work with all cases
OCD user score ( 4.5/5)
PS: I think it better to get these protectors without the Installation tool if you're skilled at installing them, save a dollar
I cant post images links due to having less than 10 post, you can see the images from my amazon review under Thetechnerd. It would be great if someone can help me post the images here ( plz pm me)
PLz search B01D0XEF3Q from Amazon search box. Thanks all
Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Protec...01D0XEF3Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Some reviews have been saying that it scratches really easily. Also does it attract fingerprints/oil easily? Thanks
I did not see any noticeable scratch after 4 days of using it, only tiny micro scratches that you have to put under the light and look at the phone from an angle but maybe because I take good care of my stuffs. So I tested scratching the screen protector with a sim removal tool. After running the pointy end of the sim removal tool a few times on the phone surface, I was like "Holly crap, the screen protector is full of scratches". I then use a micro fiber cloth to rub it off, and "WOW" all of those scratches magically disappeared from the surface of the screen protector, and it is looking like new. Therefore, i believe that these screen protector are self-healing.
About smudges and fingerprints, I think it gets dirty at the same rate as any other PET screen protector. However, I do think that TPU screen protector are harder to clean. It requires more effort to clean than PET and and tempered glass. I had to rub it almost twice as many times as I did with PET. Oh well, for the clarity and protection it provides, it doesn't bother me that much.

I am really close to ordering this product since I am sick and tired of trying to find a tempered glass that does the job. Well, I take that back. I know that coral guard one or whatever apparently does the job but it is like 30 bucks.
Is the TPU cover in between regular film protector and tempered glass as far as hardness and protection? How is the feel of the protector, more glass or film?

So I installed the screen protector yesterday and first of all I have to say it is a great fit. This is truly an edge to edge protector. Went on fairly easy, let it dry over night and I see no bubbles or peeling. As far as the material goes I'd say it's somewhere in between PET and those self healing films. This particular one is very clear with a small amount of texture (sticky feel), and under some lighting there is a slight rainbow effect. I'm used to glass screen protectors but this is a great compromise unless your willing to pay $30 for the full coverage ones. I'm also pretty picky about what goes on my phone and I honest give this a 5/5 for quality and price.

Yeah I ordered a two pack thank God. The first one was so bubbly that I took it off. Installed the second one and it still is bubbly but I tried to smooth it out. It has this weird indentation because of smoothing it out but whatever.
It's easier to tolerates than the horrible halo effect.

I had some weird stuff going on after the install but as it dried up it slowly went away. I install paint protection films on cars and this is very similar. Usually I let my customers know it takes about 2 days to fully dry, so hopefully yours is still in the drying phase.
I could not agree more though that damn halo effect on the regular protectors just kills the beauty of the phone.

I know you did a wet install but I don't think I want to go that route. Maybe I just need to be easier on the protector when I am pushing the bubbles out?
What is the difference in this and every other wet install protector that is not PET, but more that rubbery material?

Wet install is best with a slightly soapy water solution and since our phones are water resistant its a no brainer. Only other suggestion is as you said, go easy when using the squeegee.

Alright I am gonna give the wet install a shot.
What was your dilution with soap and water? Just a drop in a cup of water and mix it around? Did you use a sprayer or just use your hands?
Be careful with the soapy water. Soap lowers the surface tension of water and can get into the phone. Read that someone washed their phone and ruined it because of the soap.
