Hello all,
Can somebody tell if there is a screen protector pre-installed? I thought I heard it in an unboxing video but have not heard others about it. If so, how is the quality?
Reason for the question is just seeing a review of the quick cover and someone is pointing out the hard inside of the cover can scratch the screen
Thanks

My g5 (germany) has a pre installed screen Protector

All phones come with some type of sheet over the screen. It's within carrier's discretion to print on it or not. My AT&T came with print but T-Mobile version does not. However I wouldn't call it a protector... Mostly just to keep the screen from getting dirty.

Mine came with one and its like any other screen protector in the market and not the thick useless one that is normally there to protect the screen from scratches. Still rocking it.
It looks like mine has a screen protector. Its so firmly applied I thought it was the edge of the glass until another forum member pointed it out.
yeah my h850 came with a normal film style screen protector, pity it stops short of the top of the screen
None of them came with a screen protector, it's just a normal procedure to put a protective film, most manufacture does this.
And yes LG had two different film, one that has full coverage and one which is square, both are very thin, and will only protect from minor scratches.
My H860 came with a squarish protective film also. I used it for about half a day and tore it off after it got all smudged up because it couldn't be cleaned easily
Mine came sealed and with a pre installed protector. Not the dodgy ones that carriers supposedly put on. It covered the entire screen and lined up perfectly.
Unfortunately the case made it bubble so I took it off.
These are not screen protectors its wraping.

It's not a screen protector, just a manufacturer preinstalled protective film, as stated in one of my posted it came either in a square one or a full cover one, the only protection it will give is from finger print and minor scratch.
Just because it looks like one doesn't mean it is one.
I beg to differ it is of the same consistency and quality of most resin screen protectors it covers the entire screen ..... therefore it's a screen protector ? Move on ?

While the factory fitted full screen protectors are not by any means a guaranteed quality screen protector... They are a screen protector.
I will continue to keep mine on until it shows any signs of failure....none so far after a few weeks.
Inevitability it is down to how you take care (or don't) of your phone.
Phone has been in a case since day one and bought screen protectors on standby.
If it weren't a screen protector it would have text on it stating things like don't text and drive or pointing to things on the device... I had a bunch of those in the past. If it's completely (emphasis on completely) clear, then it's protector. If it's not clean or clear then it's not a protector.

printing is dependent on countries and carriers, just because it's clear and fits well, doesn't mean it's a protector, I stand by my words, it's not a proper protector.

And I totally respect your opinion. I've owned so many devices and for each device I always buy a few different types of screen covers and many are made of different materials. My partners old G4 came with a transparent film as you'd say that was the perfect dimensions, same as the screen protectors I had on my G4 and G5. So.... Screen protector in my eyes as it... Wait for it... Protects the screen! Lol.

Like the OP, I also wanted to use the official LG G5 Quick Cover case and wondered if the phone had a screen protector / film pre-installed. Bought a set of screen protectors ahead of time just in case but fortunately, the LG G5 H831 models I got did include screen protector / film pre-installed.
If you like your screen covered, suggest you use the pre-installed one until there's a concensus on a good PET or tempered glass protector. Don't fall for the Amazon reviews. Annoying how Amazon allows vendors to bunch protectors or accessories for different phones all together. A screen protector made well for one phone, doesn't necessarily mean the cut out / quality will be good for another.
What does seem good to know is from most reviews I've read the vendor(s) / seller(s) stood by their product good or bad and usually are helpful.
Received my phone yesterday and in the Netherlands it does come with some sort of screen protector, can't say much about the quality of the protector but for now it is sufficient. Now hoping I get my silver quick cover quickly.

So I'm interested if anyone has gotten a Zagg screen protector and how it interacts and feels with the S pen. Is there too much resistance or does the rubber tip kind of feel sticky on it. If you don't have a Zagg how does your screen protector feel with the S Pen.
It's crap. While the Zagg adds a relatively thick layer that can act as shock absorber if you manage to drop the phone face down, I absolutely hate it when I draw on Sketchbook. It's sort of deformable, and the S-pen leaves small ridges in the protector as I draw, and the more I draw, the more uneven the surface gets. It was frustrating when I had it on my Note 2. Clarity-wise, it's quite good for normal viewing, but even a microscopic amount of oil smudged across can ruin the experience. The glass on the phone itself seems more oleophobic than Zagg's protector.
I'm running without a protector on my Note 3 at the moment, so I'm trusting the screen to Gorilla Glass 3. Since I have a wallet case, it won't have any hard objects gliding over it when I'm not using it. Few weeks in and I'm satisfied so far.
Thanks for the input bro. Duly noted that's what I figured would happen. I guess I'll opt for a privacy screen protector then. It's cheap, useful and effective.

Only the polyurethane based protectors have that issue (Zagg/BestSkinsEver/GhostArmor/Skinomi/etc...) because they are softer. The iSmooth/Spigen type protectors don't have this issue at all.

I have the Spigen tempered glass screen protector on mine. Working with the S Pen feels just like writing on the phones screen. Id recommend not going with Zagg if you intend to use the S Pen.

I've had nothing but good experience with Zagg. I have the Zagg High Definition on my Note 3 and haven't had any problems at all. S pen works great, doesn't leave ridges as someone mentioned above. Of course I didn't use the S pen in the first 48 hours to give the screen time to fully set in.
I am liking the zagg protector.. only issue I am having is that I dropped the phone off the end table 8 hrs after getting the phone and there is a dent in the protector.. didnt self heal.. i filled out for the lifetime warranty and giving it until this saturday to request a replacement....
Zagg makes a tempered glass for the iPhone, I'm hoping they release it for the note 3 but they probably won't since there's much less demand.

Since I've seen $8 and $12 tempered glass screen detectors mentioned in the last couple of days I don't see any reason why you'd get a plastic film screen protector.
The $8 one ships from the US as well so it should be quick. I wish I'd seen these before I spent $28 for mine.

Zagg HD screen protectors are absolute garage, they have been back since their original Zagg screen protectors before they added "HD" on to the name. Actually, that was the only improvement that Zagg has made to their screen protectors in years, just the name. I don't like glass screen protectors due to how painfully obvious it is that there's a screen protector installed, mainly due to the gaps around every edge, speaker, camera, sensors, Home button, etc. Not to mention that your Home button is now recessed. You'll notice most people wanting Home button stickers have a glass screen protector, just to bring their Home button back to being flush with the rest of the screen. If you want a screen protector that looks invisible, ZERO gaps around the edges, and feels just like your bare screen does now, then search "TechMatte" on Amazon. They are currently on sale for only $4.95 for a 3 pack! Much MUCH cheaper than all of the other screen protectors which claim to be "premium", when they'll actually either just be an eyesore, feel horrible to the touch, make your S-Pen unusable, or drastically deteriorate the now gorgeous looking display! Plus, TechMatte also provides you a lifetime warranty! I guarantee that you will be 100% satisfied, this will become your absolute favorite screen protector you've ever used or seen anywhere, and will LOVE it! Once installed, I bet your friends won't even know that you have a screen protector installed, and probably won't even be able to find it after you do tell them there's a screen protector on your phone! I posted a review of it with pics (I tried to photograph it anyway) here in this subforum. Here's a link to them on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CK...r=1-10&m=AG8AYSVS7E5IO&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
The stock photo in Amazon shows the screen protector having a U shaped cutout at the bottom for the Home button, but it actually has a precise cutout for the Home button which provides coverage all around the Home button

I agree with you on the zaggs but I think you should try the spigen tempered glass t.r I was skeptical since I've never used glass but it's amazing like nothing is even on the screen. Most importantly it works flawlessly with the S-Pen. I had major issues with the Zagg and S-Pen on my Note 2

Sure you should, look at your old watches, smart or not, they always have scratches.

Thanks I also order by amazon the screen protection
I was looking at a Skinomi TechSkin
I don't have one on my Pebble and its good shape. Minor scratches but notching intrusive.
$10 for spigen but they proven to me they last a long time. Rarely need to replace on my phones. As far other watches I bop them on stuff all the time but they have decent scratch resistance as well.
If it gets annoying I'll go without but I got a pack coming.

Same here, on both my N5 and my M8 I have glass screen protectors..I dropped my M8 once and it SHATTERED the screen protector(I mean shattered...very hard to see the screen) but not a scratch on the screen, it also had a case on, so with the combo of the two, what would have made me need a new phone, it looks brand new still

I went through 2 glass screen protectors on my s4. one had been applied badly and had junk stuck under it despite my best attempt,didn't seat correctly and started pulling loose eventually cracked. Last one was great for a long while... chipped along the edge thanks to something in my pocket. tried to baby it.. eventually cracked being flexed in my pocket.
Guess I didn't have good luck. On a watch for me probably wouldn't last a week.
Edit: just realized they won't be to me for another week thanks to slow poke mail, trying to be cheap.
I'm not even gonna lie. I will be going budget or DIY on this one. I have about 8 extra screen protectors from previous phones so I'm going to attempt cutting them to size of the g watch until the glass ones are available.

same here. i ordered the spigen ones (3x) but im not really impressed. so instead I now took a spare protector for my n5 from mumbi and cut it myself. It doesn't look any worse than the edges from the spigen one and it's a really good screen protector
This stuff right here: http://www.amazon.com/bIONic-Shield-Liquid-Screen-Protector/dp/B00HZDOQIC
bIONic Shield liquid protector. I've been using this on my HTC One and my Nexus tab, and it's the real deal. Can't scratch your screen with a key, knife, etc. The rest of my phone's case is banged up, but the screen is flawless.
I'm most likely grabbing the LG G Watch Screen Protector CR from Spigen

I am using that one for 3 days now and I can only say I am very disappointed. You won't leave fingerprints, but smudges still appear all the time, its even worse than without the protector. What I did now was to take a spare screen protector for my Nexus 5 from Anker and cut it to the size of the watch-display. Looks almost as good as the Spigen one but it is very resistant to smudges. I almost never have any resedue apart from dust. I can't recommend the Spigen screen protector because of this.

They do smudge quite a bit. Not sure what else to do about it though doesn't affect indoors as much as out.
I do notice that the smudges aren't oily colored smudges like I did without so there is a slight difference. No worse than any other clear protectors on any other devices. Matte ones would help a bit but still doesn't look as nice.
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!

The demo shows a standard tempered glass screen protector being glued in onto the Gorilla Glass of the ZXP. Looks great and all, but how would you remove it if you damaged the screen protector only? Wouldn't glueing the screen protector on permanently make the replaceable protector sort of redundant?
I am all for a great fit screen protector but this does seam a little silly to me.
Seems like they have demo videos of the removal - http://www.sgfreshidea.com/mobile-p...e-will-it-affect-your-oleophobic-coating.html
yes but please note that we do not use the standard 1000 glue or 2500 you can get on Aliexpress as those glue are extremely hard to remove.

Hi @whiteangelcl
How does this type of screen protect differ from the full adhesive tempered glass that you have with the coloured edges?
If I were to order it, do I need the special equipment that you have used during the "curing" process?
I tried so many screen protectors so far and they've all been terrible!
The full adhesive ones didn't cover the entire screens and the ones that covered the entire screen were not full adhesive.
If the screen protectors you have are able to provide full protection without affecting the colour accuracy or the clarity of the 4k display then I will buy it immediately
I hope that you can ship to England.

Hi thanks for checking. The main difference is that those with the colored edges will block the color of the top and bottom portion of the phone and the edges on the right and left will cut off the display slightly.
This retail version will be launched in a weeks time and it comes with the full set of equipment necessary to complete the job.
It does cover the screen fully and also does not impact the color.
We do ship to England but the retail version is not out yet.
Will keep you posted.

Based on the video, you guys are in Singapore right?
Also, is there a choice of the actual screen protector used? The one in the demo video has cutouts that seem a little "off" (not perfectly centered around the lens and sensor which triggers my OCD) and an extra hole for the notification light.

Hi yes we are from Singapore. There is only 1 type of tempered glass sad to say. There is a small dot at the notification light.
When we were pasting it, the alignment seems to be correct. Perhaps it is a camera angle issue.

Does this protector lessen the screen quality in anyway? My current protector im using is one of those plastic ones that stretch if you try to strech it. My issue with it is that it creates a rainbow effect when the brightness is high perhaps due to the sticky/glue on it. Does this do that or is it 100% clear to the point where it feels as if I dont have a protector on? Thanks
Hi thanks for asking no it does not lessen the quality in anyway. It is using LOCA to adhere the tempered glass to the display and LOCA is Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive.
It is a piece of tempered glass and due to the adhesive in the middle, there will be no rainbow effect even when the brightness is high.
It does add some thickness to the phone though as it is still a piece of additional tempered glass on top of your display but not to the extent that it becomes very thick.

Let me tell you the downside. As it is a LOCA based tempered glass, it requires a slightly higher patience level and it is more difficult than pasting a normal protector onto the phone.

I've not personally used one, but it seems like the Whitestone dome glass has been the top choice for screen covers with the previous models. They're pricey and it's a process to install, but it's full adhesive. Also the new zagg is supposed to be a good one.

Im looking for a tempered glass screen protector as well. I have gone with amfilm in the past but not since my lg g4. Ive had the s7 edge and tempered glass has been hard to fine something good. Might try the amfilm again,

Got amfilm for 3 days now and it a bit of a disaster. It cracked on first day from 0.5 meter fall on wooden (panels) floor, screen itself of ok, so one could have said that protector worked but cracking from 0.5m fall on wooden floor? Some places (top of the screen and bottom right corner) have much lower sensitivity so e.g. pressing backspace and enter on keyboard is difficult, need much more pressure to get it working. After 3 days the curved bits are finally sticking to the screen but managed to get a bit of dirt underneath, luckily it's very small amount and totally invisible.

I heard you gotta adjust the sensitivity settings on the phone with that. One of the reviews on amazon mentioned it.

That could be true if all the screen had this problem not just 10%. On the second thought it's better today comparing to Sunday when I applied it, maybe it needs some more time to settle down? Anyway, it's cracked from first small fall...

Has anyone used panzerglass products?
I've never had great luck with any curved glass protectors. Bought and broke too many. They work great on my iPhone X, but none have worked great S7, S8. I bought these with good results.
Galaxy S9 Phone Screen Protector Ringke Invisible Defender [Full Coverage][3-Pack] Edge to Edge Side Coverage [Case Compatible] Scratch Resistant Thin HD Clearness Film for Samsung Galaxy S9 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079P898S1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VSDRAb2ZZKVGQ
Been also looking for tempered glass on the s8 and now the so. The ones they make for iPhones feel a bit filmy and when they fall they crack. Don't see how those aren't popular on the s series. So I just got a spigen neo flex.
I gave in and bought a Whitestone. It is as perfect as they say. Installation wasn't as hard as I thought it would be ; you just need to watch a bunch of videos of the process beforehand. But is it worth it for the price? I still can't answer that. It makes it easier if I just think of it as an installment plan over the life of the phone.
I have a Zagg Curve Elite four my S9+ and I can highly recommend it. Had it for 1 week, no problems so far. And a plus is that it is case friendly :good:

I have personally used the Whitestone Dome on multiple devices and have it on my S9 right now and it's amazing. I'm a really big fan of it and think that it's the best one out there by far.
