Hi guys, which do you think is better? Matte screen protector or tempered glass? I don't really care about the clarity though, just smooth. And for case, any to recommend which does have sufficient protection? My ringke fusion transparent has been destroying my flash..
I'm also looking answer for this. Anyone can advice?
For screen protector, I use Gearmaxx tempered glass, which I absolutely love. Keeps the premium glass feel, but also offers drop protection against the screen. It also does a great job neutralizing fingerprints.
For a case, I use incipio dual pro which offers great drop protection, but doesn't add too much bulk. The black version of it also keeps the high end look of the device.

Or you can buy a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector, I bought mine for only $15, and it's absolutely worth it, orders of magnitude better than regular screen pros.
And BTW, matte screen protectors actually reduces screen quality specially in high ppi screens, so they are a big no no.
Are tempered glass 9h "matte screen"? Also, do you have protector glass for the back or do you have a casing for it? It seems there is some issue finding the right casing which allows the charge flip cover to open and has an opening for magnetic charger.

They are not matte, but seem to have a little bit less glare than the "naked" screen. They feel like the original screen, but due to the special coating are harder to get dirty and easier to clean. I used to have a matte screen protector on PDA few years ago and it was a nightmare in terms of screen clarity - pixels were distorted.

OK... The main reason why I'm looking to buy a tempered glass is get rid of it being a finger print magnet.. The protection added is nice too.

It is much better with glass screen protectors containing oleophobic coating (probably most of them, if not all). As they are so cheap, just purchase one and try it..

I want to buy screen protectors (for both front and back panel). Which is better plastic or tempered glass? What experiences have you got with them? And what manufacturers do you recommend? I want a screen protector that hasn't got large cuts around the camera, just a circle for the camera and another for the flash, and on the front also just a circle for the camera and another for the sensors.
I have the this Glass-M tempered protector. Both friend and back. Haven't had any issues with it for the last one year. The main advantage is that this is slim enough to work with the magnetic dock.

If u are using a case, i recommed you the Nillkin 9H tempered glass. Come with the regular plastic for protecting the back and the camera lens. Why? If u are a case user, i dont think tempered glass back will fit ur case.
Honestly, they're all the same, I burnt through the lot of them, Nilkin, Pthink, Hero. They're all the same, I see no difference in quality and durability. I think the Pthink was most resistant to fingerprints, but not by much

I prefer matte/anti-glare screen protectors. Main reason, on glass and glossy plastic surfaces, after using for a while (15-20 minutes), my fingers start to "stick" to the glass. Not really stick, per se, but they don't glide as easily and I have to switch to a different finger. With a matte protector, I never have this issue. Also, they help cut down on reflections. There are draw backs of course. It makes the screen hard to see outdoors (but I rarely use my phone outdoors) and it does reduce brightness a little (but I don't really go over 30% or so when indoors anyway). And they do introduce a touch of graininess.
The best ones I have found are iLLumiShield and Anker. Though the Anker is the best I have used, it is not available on the Z2. I have tried many other matte films, but they all introduce too much graininess. And some affect touch response.
Here is the illumishield for the Z2. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IK46CTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is the anker (not for the Z2 though) http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Hig...836544&sr=1-1&keywords=anker+matte+anti-glare

i bought the same tempered glass, no problem at all.
The camera has it's own cut and the back fits as it should..ask for a refund or a resend..
I picked these up on Ebay for my Zuk. Tempered glass fits well to edge of screen, and the back cover fits perfect as well, and recesses the buttons slightly to prevent accidental presses.

I bought this along with the phone:

Don't buy it as it reduces the touch screen quality dramatically. It got into the bin after few hours.

I have to agree with you there, I also got the film screen protector with my Nillkin case, maybe that would work better than glass?

I just got a tempered glass protector but my issue is the screen protector that came with the phone is so difficult to remove! Any ideas because I am eager to put on the tempered glass.

Screen protector? My phone didn't come with one.
I hope you aren't trying to peel off the white coating or something.
I just got my Nillkin case. Here's a few pics: http://imgur.com/a/OWkaX
The case fits the phone quite nicely and barely adds any bulk. The back has a nice texture on it which makes the phone slightly less slippery. There was a also a plastic screen protector included in the package.
I also got this case: http://www.zukmobile.cc/lenovo-zuk-z1-smart-phone-case-black-green.html
It feels slightly flimsier than the Nillkin case and the material isn't as hard. The surface has a soft feel to it.
It also came with a screen protector.
You can get one by gearbest for 6$
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...-Mobile-Accessory-For-Lenovo/32449063653.html
I've tried this, not very good or I was just unlucky, the glue stayed under the making it impossible to stick to the screen.
Any good and cheap recommendation?

Since in my country, Whitestone Dome is not available, and i cant find any good similar product,
I decide to make it on my own,
i do smartphone repair on a daily basis, and i know how to use LOCA glue, and i had available tools around,
So i grab one Nillkin 3D CP+ Max Full Screen Glass Protector,
i put the LOCA glue on the screen, and apply the glass on top, let the glue spread evenly,
curing it using UV lamp, and....

2. what kind of loca glue? ( tp1000 , tp2500 , tp2500f)
3. Is it easy to remove tempered glass from phone after use loca glue?

I found new Nillkin product 3D AP+ Pro tempered glass. Unfortunately, pictures have only Chinese description, however it's easy to find glass is only 0.1mm thin.

You need less than 10cc absolutely,
One 10cc tube can do at least two installation
2500 should be good enough, its softer than 1000,
Removal is not that hard, but you need to slowly wipe away the dried/jellyfied loca

Any TG protector will do,
But i choose one that has color on the edge, since it will disguise if there's any micro bubble appear on the edge,
Even cheap $3 bucks glass will do,
I just did 2nd installation using those kind of glass,

I am interested in giving this a try. From what it sounds like, you just put some adhesive on the glass, affix it to the screen, wipe away the excess, then cure it? How do you manage the glue around the speaker grill? I'm concerned the glue will gunk up the speaker.

Put a paper tape on the speaker first. And remove it later,
Although, you can simply control the amount of LOCA you are using, so that there wont be too much excess that go near speaker.
If you accidentally gunk up your speaker, just use tooth brush, it will easily remove the dried up loca from the grill

Leaked glue was cleaned right away after installation
Sensitivity is perfect, since there's no air gap like what happen in most common tempered glass,
and although there's glue between the glass and screen, it's LOCA which designed and purposed for mostcof LCD-Touchscreen-Glass bonding, so it has almost 0 effect to sensitivity and light transmittance
And experience is much better compared to common rubber or tpu protector, since its glass

I didn't like that one since I could see the adhesive on the edges .
But the new screen protector is black all around, looks nice one, like you don't even have one installed. Still has the micro dots. Works with the two cases I have, EasyAcc and Diztronic.

I have this exact one. It's quite thick rubber around the edges, so feels quite strong.
It looks quite cheap though, and has a bit of Chinglish on the back - instead of "Tempered glass", they've written "Tempering glass"!!

Lol thanks for the update. Might just stick to the case I bought and glass screen protector. Seems like the best option for me with enough protection.
