I've had the phone since April 1st and I've been very happy with it, however i just noticed that my camera's cover in the back is already scratched in two places. I have had a case on the phone since day one and I've been very careful with the phone... I'm very disappointed and annoyed that this got scratched up so easily! Has anyone had this happen to them or tested it in a review? Otherwise I like the phone, just seems like very cheap material in the back.
Is there any protector that i can buy to cover the camera that will not effect image quality?
Just found this thread while searching about the scratching, as I just saw scratches on my LED on the rear. I really don't have scratches on the camera lenses themselves, but I see it on the LED. At first I thought it was a piece of forgotten plastic covering, but after carefully picking at the edge of it with a razor blade, it wasn't coming off.
Not sure about some sort of cover for it other than a universal, cut-it-yourself screen protector. Just cut it to fit and install it?
You can get circle glass protector which covers just the lens, I actually have these, or you can get some PET ones that covers the whole camera area.

Any issues now with the scratches?
I wonder if it will have any negative affects on the focusing aspect for the camera as I believe the laser focus is there?

I don't find this problem with my G5. Strange....
I changed the lense on my g3 numerous times due to scratching easily, buy them on eBay real cheap, some oem, some not. I'm not seeing parts for the g5 yet and the lense doesn't appear to be changed out as easily as previous LG phones.

I'm sure you won't be able to get the glass protector, it's only available in china, and no where else, but for the PET one, search for nillkin.

my G5 with lens protector.
Unfortunately my G5 is starting to show tiny scratches on the lens glass. Its only a week old too.
Cant seem to find any protectors for the lense on nillkin.com or Ebay. If anyone knows of any that can be purchased internationally, would be much appreciated

The seller confirmed they all come with a plastic lens protector.
Guys, start using Aliexpress. I stopped using eBay when I first tried AliExpress..few years ago. And I order weekly.
Anyway, haven't tried them but I think I will:

Just 4.7$ for 3 pieces if you order from the mobile app.

I could be wrong, but it looks like there is a slight curve to the screen of the Nexus 6. Which would make sense, as there is on the Moto X 2014 as well. This is a problem for tempered glass protectors. Perhaps it is taking them some time to get to it.
That said, accessories in general are fairly lacking for this Nexus device. There are a handful of cases and screen protectors available for purchase. Perhaps some companies don't know how much of a demand there will be for this product. Perhaps Google and Moto kept this device under tight wraps.

Agreed, from the close up of images on their site it does look like there's a slight curve to the front of the screen that would create some complications with it properly sticking to the screen.
Lets keep this thread going so if anyone does find anything it can be added. I'm looking to get my hands on this device so definitely something I'll be looking to get a hold off.
Well, there appear to be some on some Chinese E-tailers (like AliExpress). But for some reason it says for the LG Nexus 6, so I don't know. Really hope there will be because nothing beats cheap glass screen protectors (I bought like 5 last year for real cheap, best investment for my S4 ever, especially when when my baby niece likes to steal my phone and inevitably do something sinister with it.)
Amazon has one
Amazon.com has one. It is a pre order for Nov 19th. Also it ships from UK. I have no idea whether this brand is quality or not. Being as I'm new I am unable to post links. Search Amazon.com using this item # B00OPAHTKA
Amazon has several up now. Gonna wait for some feedback before I invest in one because of the curved display.

Hi guys, just want to let you know I sent an email yesterday to iloome's customer service and they answered in a few hours:
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes the Nexus 6 protectors are being developed as we speak!
Thanks!

Gorilla glass 3 can and will scratch.
I have preordered the twin pack one on Amazon coming from the UK. I'll cancel if something better comes along. I'll let you all know how it works once I get my Nexus and the screen protector.
I preordered the Orzly one from Amazon. Its the same one I use on my OPO. Hope its the same quality!
Having gone through the whole tempred glass fiasco with Spigen last year where the N5 wasn't totally flat, therefore leaving air pockets under the .tr glass - I am going to hold off until the phone is in my hands and out for a few days. Although they sent me a replacement, it was frustrating to begin with. But, I have cracked 2 tempered glass covers from silly drops and my N5 screen is still flawless - so I will continue to purchase these, I stand by their functionality.

I just bought a tempered glass cover:-
http://www.ebay.com/itm/401120474270?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Its crap tbh, ok with the phones curves you never gonna get a perfect fit tampered glass like I had for my previous Z3 compact but it does not even come close to the edge of the screen. Might not even apply it and perhaps send this back or at least complain to the seller, although was very cheap so prob will not bother. Nothing on the packaging mentions the phone which kinda makes me think is just some generic thing, even though on the page it says its specifically made for this phone, it clearly is not.
Just wondered if anyone had any more luck than me? I like my phone naked really but would tolerate a tempered glass cover that fits.
Nah, the tempered on I got was crap too, fitted to edge of screen and still had margins that didn't stick. Gone back to flexible protectors for now

I got three glass screen protector direct from china during my visit, has the cutout for the front cam+sensor and the speaker on the top and bottom, the coverage does not cover the full screen as the curve edge prevents it, but the glass screen protector does reach and fully cover the active screen, cost me about USD .30 each.
I just ordered this, looks good, but need to see the actual item.

EDIT - Case is perfect fit and has nice grip.
recommend melkco leather case for xperia x cases, the leather and handmade quality really very good
I'm using a Nillkin flip cover for my XX. The leather feels good, and the case fits perfectly. It makes the phone look like a small notebook.

Still haven't found a screen protector that fits the 2.5d screen.
Hi guys, I just recently dropped my device with my plastic case on and my screen protector of course, the edge of the case has snapped and my screen protector is slightly shattered therefore I've had to order another case and screen protectors, this was on a warehouse floor from about 1 metre drop luckily my phone isn't damaged!
I've gone down a different route now, before I had the Terrapin smokey black plastic case (which fits well but feels cheap) and KlearLook tempered glass protectors, now here's what I've just ordered via Amazon!
1. YouSave Tempered Glass Screen Protector
2. ShockSock Sony Xperia X Neoprene Shock Resistant Pouch
3. Tudia Ultra Slim Full Matte Arch TPU bumper
Now I have chosen a pouch purely because I do not like storing my phone in my pocket at work as it can collect a lot of dust and dirt, after finding this pouch I was very interested as it comes with a clip for your belt or whatnot, it also says in the description that it supports the phone with a case on too which I found awesome, I went with a cheaper option on the screen protectors than I did before but the reviews for these seemed okay and the price is great. As for the Tudia case, I haven't used any of their products before but seen a fellow X user on YouTube using one of their armour cases (which I didn't want to go with, hense I chose ultra slim).
When my accessories arrive I shall post some pictures and a review ????????
Received my new goods and I can say I think the screen protectors were great for the price, fitted very easy no hassle either. As for the ShockSock it's awesome, with the TPU case it is a tight fit but if it's not on it's a smooth fit. Full coverage from the TPU case, great fit only downside I'd say is access to the power button/fingerprint sensor is a tad limited to what it'd be if the case wasn't on.
Waiting for the price of the official case to get knocked down in price lol
I have just bought this tempered glass and I think this is so much better than the official one and it is a bit cheaper and has full adhesive around the screen.

from my point of view it would make no sense to produce the glass with ugly black bezels if they would have completely invisible adhesive for application on the screen.
I've brought this one.
It's got huge bezels (the same as the official). If you can live with that great.
It lasted 5 minutes on mine before losing part of my screen annoyed me too much.

Out of interest are you using a screen protector at all? If so which one? I've tried the Orzly (rainbow effect and dust) and also the Nilkin (full adhesion but big gaps) trying to find a happy medium really. I'm currently without a protector but using the Otterbox casing.

I'm not sure how you applied yours but I'm now into 3+ weeks with a Orzly and have had neither of the issues you mention, never did. I couldn't be more please with the Orzly protector especially at that price and still having a second one when the first eventually degrades. I used the application recommendation posted in that protectors thread. I personally could not tolerate a protector that reduced the visible screen for what ever reason.
Update: A spec of dust has gotten under the cover. Too bad as I still like the protector for its feel and protection but the spec of dust is dam annoying.

Try to find a company in Poland that provides "virtual" address in UK and after that delivers the goods in your country. I receive goods from UK in Bulgaria for only 1 EUR (when under 1 kg.) - it is very convinient.

Best of a bad bunch
This doesn't look very case compatible. Is anyone able to comment on this?
Very good tempered glass!
Sorry my english isnt perfect. Mine is come yesterday. I used a lot of others, but they where all disappointing in some way. (black turned into dark grey because of bad transparency and "sharp" edges) This one isnt case friendly I guess, because it protects the complete front.
+ true black colors
+ 2.5D (is quite cool for edge-smoothness)
+ easy to clean
- it isnt the thinnest glass
- makes bigger edges left/right
When you buy it make sure you buy the right one. It must be "Automatic Adsorption" version. They also sell another product where you get 2pcs of screen protectors (without automatic adsorption!).

I've got an original sandstone backcase and I think it will fit. Mine don't fit totally because it gets stretched by the skin I have on my oneplus. :/ But otherwise I think it will fit probably
Tip : amazon will give you the money back if you have problems with it and you mustn't send it back.
I just installed this tgsp and it's amazing. Very happy with it.
It's full glue. The main drawback is the bezel. But I'm used to it.
PS: it fits perfectly with the sandstone case from OnePlus

When you say the main drawback is the bezel, do you mean the bezel cuts off a small portion of the screen at the edges? Like if you were to boot into the bootloader, you can immediately see if the text is being cut off at the sides.

Hi guys!
Decided to take the plunge yet again and purchase a WhiteStone S9 screen protector seeing how I loved the S8 one so much (and because I seem to have no sense with my money).
So I went and preordered it from mobile fun and followed this YouTube video to install it and I think it came out great!
https://youtu.be/glOPokc6PeY
Just wanted to share this with you guys and see how you're finding yours. Are you guys getting WhiteStone Dome or have you found something better for the S9?

Sounds like a mucher cheaper way of doing virtually the same thing. Will the loca glue need curing in the same way as the Whitestone do you reckon?
Love to hear how you get on anyway :good:
Already installed my Whitestone as well. Had it for the S8+, Note 8, and now S9+. It seems every version, they improve the process. The Note 8 and S9+ both utilize the tipping over method. However, my Note 8 did not have a sticker to cover the speaker, or the pads on the side to clean up excess glue. The sticker for the speaker was nice, but I didn't bother with the liner pads on the side. As before, great product from Whitestone.
Hello,
I just installed the Whitestone Dome Glass on my S9 + and I’m happy.
Since the S7 edge I had to stop its protection in tempered glass because it did not stick and luck luck I broke my phone screen, I look everywhere on the internet and I saw the one that is expensive its real … 45 € (for me: France) except that 45 € on a phone has 959 € … I think it can do it, all his past and it fits perfectly sends really heavy!
To see in the long term ..
Thank you!
Just put it on last night, and your video install helped a ton! So far I am loving it, perfect install, perfect glass
wow, i must be getting old and out of the loop for many years, has been many years since i used a screen protector.
watching that video, the process is cool for sure, wow. never seen such a thing. lol
thanks for sharing, might have to put it on my want list.
I don't know how true my reservations are, but I do have some regarding screen protectors using LOCA. When you remove the screen protector, the glass will come off easily (in most cases anyways) but the adhesive stays behind. The adhesive isn't something you can easily remove without some sort of solvent or manually scraping it. That's my only reservation on these kinds of screen protectors -- should I mess up the installation, or the glass cracks and requires removal -- the adhesive isn't going to come off easily.

mine came off perfectly clean on my S9 plus, i broke the whitestone and had to replace it. literally no residue left on phone, all loca stayed on tempered glass. big problem i see with whitestone is the warranty replacement process, they require old to be sent back before a replacement under warranty. for the price they need to allow you to request warranty and get new one on the way asap. the loca tempered glass seems to be the best option imho
I love how it looks like you don't even have a protector on until you look at the top by the earpiece! Super clean.

Yes it's very clean on the install and yeah you only really see it on the top. Looking right at it you don't notice it but if you tilt the phone a little you'll notice it on the top.
My install went great on two phones. Even screwed up the second one doing it and cleaned it all up and did it again... flawless.
My only concern is the bottom of the protector seems to sit a little low on the phone could of moved up slightly or shortened the glass just by a fraction to give a little more space between the glass and cases.

Hi Anyone,
Installation is both time consuming, easy, and difficult. Approx. time 15 minutes. It's easy to install. The challenge was getting the table balance & removing every piece dust possible. Other then that, it's worth the $45. The price is the thing I hate about it.
How does the phone feel with the protector on? Does it become noticeable thicker?
hi.
any problems with dust in the corners over time??
It feels slightly thicker. Nothing bad. Could be slightly wider and taller, bezel gap bothers me. But that allows different case styles. I use Clear View case, so it makes the whole package pretty fat already.
Little glue marks at the edges with dust. But nothing bothering. Also, after installing the glass, there seems to be a crack from bottom center, towards on/off button. Don't know if i screwed something up or it is production failure.
mine cracked somehow, never dropped it. waiting to hear from their support, having to mail them the broken one before they send me a replacement is really ****ty service imo

Yeah that does suck. Though it's a good fit and stays put on the screen which is the main reason I went with them. Maybe I'm due time the will be more competitors that work with these types of screens with proper adhesion.

Have a pic here, but dont look good with the silver color, think the black one will do it instead.
I hear that using glass protector on lens while using flash will result in shady photo, can u test that ?
I don't have any complain at all [emoji1303]

Look at the area below the flash under strong light. You can see two tiny holes. That's the laser autofocus.
You are right. God dam it. How can they sell stuff with such obvious deficiency? And besides the cover is mounted real tight not to mention the sticky tape. It's gonna be really hard to remove it without trace or damage.

I use this aluminium protections but after 2 min i took them off. It add weight and thickness to the phone, not to mention that they are not case friendly at all ! My case could not be in perfect place because of this cr..p ! I took it off and install again the Tempered Glass Transparent Foil. Trust me, it looks much more better and protect the camera way better than aluminium covers. Cheers

Because the currently sold version has those holes. I guess he bought them early or old stock.

I bought it about 3 weeks ago, it came without holes. Where did you find one with laser holes?

I bought my carbon fiber skin from xtremeskins and it came with the camera skin and has the laser holes. You can even get a fingerprint skin. They ship globally.

I ordered Skins from them as well.
In the beginning of the launch of the phone, there were basically no camera glass protectors.
there was that one where the glass covered all the cameras, and left a hole cut out for the flash, which made no sense.
then those Covers came out, and I didn't like the design of them at all. Far too chunky, hole cut outs for the cameras seemed too small, and like a previous user mentioned, were MISSING cut outs for the laser/sensor. Also taking OFF this cover seemed like it would damage the housing. was a no thanks for me as well.
Finally, xtremeskins came out with Skins for the Mate 20 X couple months back.
I ordered the Clear Matte; Back and Camera Protector from them.
Took about 2 weeks from their place in UK to Canada.
Attached some pics, the fitment/clearance of the cuts are much better than anything on Aliexpress and Ebay. Trust me, I've been using those crappy ones until I got these.
The worst/ most inaccurate cut out for the Skins that came to me is the Fingerprint cut out. but its not that bad.
Hope this helps.
