I hate the drag feeling of many plastic screen protectors so I have had a naked screen on all my phones until now! This is my first glass screen protector and so far it has been excellent.
It was very easy to apply. I was impressed with how it seemed almost to "adhere itself" when you place it upon the screen. Almost free of any air bubbles, creases, etc.
Cleaned the screen with the supplied wipes, dropped the protector on, and pushed the imperfections out with my fingers and it came out great.
It comes with badly translated instructions but you are given more than enough tools to get the job done right.
Sorry I don't have any pictures of it on the phone, I can add some, if anyone wants that.
I think it's well worth the price!
Here is where it can be bought on Amazon:

I love this screen protector. The price is very cheap for the quality of the product. I got mine here

very easy to remove and leaves no residue of any type or damage.
Can you post a photo of note with the protector?
After having this for about 3 months now, I can easily say this is absolutely the best bang for your buck. My brother went with the cheaper 8 dollar eBay one and its kicking himself for not getting this instead. Installation is easy and allows room for error (can be removed and re-applied), smooth to the touch (necessary for swipe texting) and is still smooth 3 months later.

It is a good purchase pricewise. But after 3 months of use, tiny scratches are appearing on the protector. I wouldn't be mumling about it, but most of the time I use the pouch case when I cary the phone in the pocket. So scratches were a surprise for me. Therefore the claimed 9H of the glass is a bit doubtful.
I almost sprung for this myself until I saw a friend of mine who got this Nillkin on his phone and the leftmost bottom edge would not stick perfectly. You could fit a fingernail underneath it. Seems like the luck of the draw.
I had mine installed at a kiosk just to make sure that if any problem materialized, they could replace it themselves immediately. I forgot the brand, but the fit was perfect.

Bought a Nillkin Tempered GLass for my Note 3. Guess what.....after a month, the screen cracked by itself! I'm very sure it was not caused by wrong handling nor impact. All this 9H hype by Nillkin is just bull!

And why is your brother kicking himself? I have the cheapo ebay one and I have zero complaints. My first protector was a $20-something (shipped) Glass-M which simply broke in my pocket because I leaned somewhere too hard (xperia z1). I am very happy with my $7 ebay deal for my new note 3.
I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just curious.
Also, sorry for slight off topic.

Just an expression lol, but mainly because it is much less smooth and the non rounded corners bug him. I'm sure there are better ones in eBay, but it's luck of the draw. Images weren't correct in his case.

Should I use screen protectors on LG G Watch?
Sure you should, look at your old watches, smart or not, they always have scratches.
I bought the 3x pack from Spigen à 6€ on Amazon.

I'd be tempted to say yes. I might be getting one for myself.
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.
Has it a Gorila Glass screen?

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
It is the same as what I currently use on my Nexus 5.

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 purchased a MIME tempered glass screen protector after trying others without success. First I had a Spigen nano glass tr which was nice. The Spigen didn't last long, my first 3 would lose the ability to adhere in certain areas after 1-3 weeks and my last one cracked without me dropping my phone. All of them were replaced by Amazon thankfully. I then tried the Extreme guard tempered glass which was so and I took it off after a day. I then did some research and decided that MIME would be the best because it only had the ear piece cut out as opposed to the huge ugly cut out that others have.
The MIME was by far the easiest installation I have come across. They include a anti dust sheet that is like a giant plastic screen protector that you user to get the dust off your screen before you place the glass on it. Then you just peel off the back and let the adhesive do the work. The quality is also unmatched in terms of the feel. There is no loss of touch sensitivity and the oleophobic coating doesn't wear off like my Spigen one did on my Note 3. It is also worth mentioning that the MIME has curved edges so it has a very nice feel and the curve prevents chipping for those of us who use the G3 naked.
After having my MIME for 7 weeks and surviving many small falls it finally broke. I was at school heading to my physics lab and my phone slipped out of my hand while opening a door. It fell down about 4ft and bounced onto some rocks off to the side of the building. I was worried that my phone was broken after that hard fall but thankfully only the MIME broke and there was no damage to my screen or phone at all. I was using a Cruzerlite TPU case which as most of you may know is very thin, yet it stands up to abuse very well.
Overall I'm very pleased with MIME and they even give you 40% off a replacement for any reason if it becomes defective or if you break it like I did. I'm ordering another one as soon as I get my code for the discount. Until then its back to the plastic one I had laying around my apartment.
When my replacement comes I will post an unboxing of the new one to complete this review. If anyone has questions feel free to let me know.
Here are the pictures of where it hit the rocks:
Great review.
I'm trying to decide which maker I get next.
I'm currently using a Spigen too and I have the same problem with the top corners losing adhesion. It looks awful.
Here is the one I am using. Its is sit on and has been on for going on 3 weeks now. I am very pleased with it..Good price and fit perfect even a case on the phone. Its the ICarez brand of Amazon..

I actually ordered one as a backup for until my MIME gets here. I hate using my phone without the tempered glass because the feel isn't the same and neither is the protection. The MIME is still three best tempered glass that I have tired over the past year or two with the 6-7 brands that I have used. I highly recommend it plus it doesn't suffer from the adhesion issue that others have.
Edit
also the two impact marks on the glass were fairly deep but MIME did a great job with their silicon barrier preventing any puncture or damage to my screen.
In the german Forum Android Hilfe is a posting of one user who´s G3 crashed on the floor, the Glas-Protection-shield without any damage but beneath the impact shattered the Display and the touchscreen modul.
Not even a scratch on the Hardglass Protector
Strange.....
I have a dbrand in order. It's gorilla glass 3 and .2mm thick. I am extremely careful with my electronics. I have never dropped my phone.

I am very carefully with mine as well, but unfortunately things happen when you are in a rush. I dropped my Note 3 with a Spigen glass tr and neo hybrid case from 7 feet and it was perfectly fine. I think it just depends on how it impacts the ground. Post some pictures of the dbrand glass, I'm curious to see how the cutout is on the top.
Its been 3 days and no response from MIME... Their website says they are having issues with their contact system. Does anyone know of another tempered glass that only had the speaker cutout and isn't Spigen or MIME? I'm anxious to get my tempered glass back and I currently have an icarez as a temporary replacement until I can find a better one.

It feels about the same, but mine keeps getting a tiny bubble off to the side which is annoying. I installed it perfectly with 0 bubbles/dirt and it keeps getting this rainbow bubble. So the quality isn't as good because it shouldn't keep popping up, also the cutout is not something that I am a fan of. If it keeps popping up I am going to send it back, but other that that, and the cutout its fairly nice. The fit isn't as close to the edge as the MIME so the gap bothers me since I'm OCD about how things fit on phones. (you can thank the years of going to school for engineering for that) I think that if I had a better cutout on the top (i.e. only for the speaker ) I would keep it as a permanent solution if it stays adhered to my screen.
Update MIME got back to me and sent me the 40% off a replacement. It should be here by Friday so I'll post a updated review with the unboxing and installation around then.
If I buy the MIME Tempered glass from a reseller (i.e. amazon) and not directly from MIME website, will I be able to receive the 40% off replacement ?

Amazon doesn't sell them as far as I know. I believe they are only sold directly from MIME but you would have to email them to find out.
Good luck with Mime I tried both there ghost and there regular on my nexus 5 , both failed within a month , I talked a good friend into buying one also at the same time , his failed also , chips on the corners , on each one , and I'm not talking about dropping it either , at first I thought it's my fault for trying something new at that time there Ghost had just come out , so after three times I'm sorry folks in world that means your OUT, yeah big deal they will keep selling them to you at I forget 60 % off or 40 % doesn't matter if the product keeps failing time after time every time , I've had an Iloome on my Note 3 for almost a year now still perfect as the day I put it on , and I bought an icarez for my G3 a couple mnths ago still perfect also , maybe it was just my bad luck , and my friends also , but if I had a choice I would buy Either an Icarez or an Iloome , I'm sure spigen's are great but at 3 times the price there are better options.......................Peace
if I use the Tempered glass with the Original LG G3 Quick Circle Case, am I going to have any problem to keep the flap in place (attached on screen, not slightly raised) due to the slight thickness that the glass adds?

My quick circle never liked to stay shut even without a glass screen protector. Spigen makes a magnet clip to keep it closed if you're worried about that.
Another we need to let them know.
Loved mine till a corner came up. Won't get another cause it came up to easy.
I've used MIME, Spigen, and Nilkin and of the three Nilkin has been the best with MIME being the worst. The MIME feather that I had barely lasted a week... The corner shattered very easily. The spigen one lasted much longer, but it eventually wore out. My Nilkin one however has lasted me since when I first got my M8 shortly after it came out. The quality is excellent and it comes with everything you need.
Their reply to me asking about the Nexus 6:
Hi <my name>,
Thank you for checking us out! Yes, we are working on a Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nexus 6. We will announce it as soon as it is ready for shipment. Stay tuned!

totally agree. got all three brand and MIME was the worse. cracked very easily and they will charge you half the price to get it replaced which i think is bogus.

It saved my phone from an otherwise bad screen crack. I think its worth the money, its durable and definitely one of the best ones that I have owned. I don't like Spigen (I had 2 crack for no reason) and icarez is ok but nothing special. MIME has always been good and half off a replacement well 40% is still better then paying full price especially if it's the users fault.

I can only say good things about the Feather in combo with a Diztronic TPU case on my N5. The only chip I ever had was by the ear hole after a particularly nasty drop and that was the point of impact from a table corner.

I have never used tampered glass screen protector.
How is the touch responsiveness compare to the plastic one?
And also the clarity of the screen.
Because I read somewhere that tampered glass might reduce the touch responsiveness and screen clarity. Again, I have no real experience on this.

I used GLASS.TR for my N5 for a short period and thought it was much better than plastic. I didn't do any gaming so responsiveness is something I did not gauge. To me, glass was much clearer and feels better, doesn't scratch. My fingers run much smoother over the surface, as oppose to some plastic surfaces where it seems to have a sticky residue, like SHIELD.
Looking at pics of the Nexus 6 has me thinking that the screen falls off towards the edge like the LG G2. If this ends up being the case then glass won't be a option unless it is fitted glass which I don't know if they do. I am just going by the one instance I bought a glass protector for my daughters G2. Maybe it was just the brand.......

This phone is designed exactly like the new Moto X and its sloped edges. There's a long thread in the X section about multiple glass protectors and all fail to adhere correctly because of this. Unless they find a way to manufacture these with the curve in mind, these will suffer the same issue.
This is my first OP phone and love that it comes with a pre installed screen protector. I've read that the glass ones don't of it the best as of now.
I wanted to ask if anyone is going to leave that one on as the screen is gorilla glass 6.
Mines installed perfectly and I'd hate to remove it and not find a good fitting one.
I've left mine on for the 2 weeks I've had the phone. So far so good. Really.saw no reason to spend money to replace something that was already installed and worked well...

I felt the factory screen protector looked hazy and horrible. There are better options to make your beautiful screen look awesome.
Leaving mine on until it gets scratched to hell. No point in spending good money on it now until all the new options come out and get reviewed.
I think the screen protector is very clear on mine. Im gonna leave it on till it gets ugly.

Hated the feel of it vs the feel of the actual glass underneath. It lasted five minutes. I've never used a screen protector and have never scratched any of my screens.
Leaving it on, it's clear and does not bother me plus until I get a good tempered it's safe on.
Ive scratched every screen ive ever owned, and im.super careful.
Im not talking big visiable scratches, im talking the micro scratches you can only see if you tilt the screen off a reflection.
My eyes are picky asf. So once i see it, i cannot unsee.
I always need screen protectors.

Also leaving mine on. Last phone was Moto x and had it for 2.5 years with no screen protector and it never got scratched so I'm not terribly worried about this screen getting scratched but you don't even notice the protector is on there so why remove it..
Leaving mine on until OnePlus comes out with their 3D tempered glass and it arrives in my mailbox, which should be available at the end of this month. The one it comes with is great in my opinion and I love the fact they put one on to begin with. +1 for 1+. Only thing that's slightly annoying is that it feels like plastic and sometimes not as smooth depending on humidity/dryness or oiliness of fingers.
Ya leaving it as it came. using it for couple of weeks and no issues. Gonna wait for the official launch of 3d tempered glass.
I've never used a screen protector in the past. Had some minor scratches which haven't bothered me. I plan to leave it on until it looks messed up, then it'll go naked.
I was going to leave mine on, but somehow mine started peeling right at the camera. Id usually get another one immediately, but I want to make sure it's a good one. I've had some in the past that felt like mushy clay and you can dig your finger nail into it.
I want tempered glass, but from what I've read no one makes a good one yet. As someone mentioned earlier, if 1+makes a nice glass one, I'll wait for it and hopefully get it before I go on vacation in December
I've left mine on. Will leave it on till it goes to hell then find a replacement
I leave it on. It fits perfectly. I don't think that I will be able to apply any screen protector that clean. So I leave this one on it till it gets ugly and than go naked. Maybe I use a flip case again if I find one I like.

It certainly will. I have a BroTect Air Glass on and it works 100%. Also the screen looks so much nicer without the dingy stock screen protector
