Tempered glass protector issue?? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

So I'm a true believer in tempered glass screen protector because it saved me in thousands. I bought some cheap one even before the phone came out to use until the proper one comes out. This one is just square to cover the viewable screen. I bought two of them and both of them doesn't adhere at the bottom corners on two different phones. I went online to do some digging and found that most if not not all have the same issue and all sellers showing full screen cover does a bait and switch and send out the very exact same square ones.
I'm now beginning to wonder... Is this because all sellers have same batch of cheap stuff that doesn't fit or is it because G5 screen isn't perfectly flat? (never mind the curve on top) it seems the glass used on G5 is more flexible because when you press hard on it you can see the LCD distortion in some spots. In normal use it should not matter and I guess it was necessary to make the top curvature but it can also mean that when the the glass and LCD assembly can become "curvy".
Has anyone applied tempered glass protector yet? How did your application experience go? And if you had a successful one, please share the info of the product you used. NO LINKS.

The glass screen is indeed squishy. This is expected. The G4 was curved. I expect squishy glass is less likely to shatter.

That's the concern I have. I really hope that the cheap, mocked up protector is the issue and not the screen. Top is fine since we know there's curve. We need more owners to provide their experience but may be there aren't that many who purchased the early version of the protectors knowing they would not fit well?

I got my glass screen protector at at&t and installed there, i thought that i was rid of the issue that the protector would not come up at the edges but a week and a half it came up and now i removed the protector and clean it and cleaned the screen and used some clean water to put it on and then i had no issue about the protector coming off at the edges

There's another thread: Here where the same issue is experienced.
I wonder if this is with all G5s or is this just the Titan color that has this issue as some user mention they have Silver devices without the issue.

Tried 3 different suppliers for tempered glass protector and they all did this. I think it's the screen not the protectors.

I installed a cheap square screen protector and am waiting for a "real" one to show up. Currently on order, but taking longer than they originally said. With the one I have on now, I found that you have to install is slightly above the bottom of the screen to be sure it doesn't interfere with the lower, removable pieces of the phone. When I put it on just slightly higher than I wanted to it fit OK. It took me a bunch of tries and the lower right corner has a small bubble in it, but I attributed that to my several installation attempts. The three other corners are fine.

Just got a Yootech Premium glass protector on Amazon last week. It's curved for the tip, so it's a film glasses protector. No issues whatsoever. Fit/alignment is perfect. They even painted the to pay black, so there's no light bleed or distortion there. I'm really happy with it.

I mean, it's a very simple thing to do accidentally. I feel like it's always a 50/50 shot when I try to put down a screen protector bubble-free.
I haven't tried a protector on the G5, but I did have one on the very curved G4 with no issues.

Same product same results here. I waited for yootech to replace the cheap glass protector I bought at launch. I had great results on the G4 with this brand.

+1 on the Yootech. I got one and it is great. At first it looked like there was a light film in one spot between the protector and screen, but it went away in a couple hours.

Same problem ..I used Ringke screen protector

Hello everyone,
It's my first purchase of an LG device as I've always been HTC. The G5 is an amazing phone, hats off to LG for doing a great job. However, it's the worst phone when it comes to fitting a screen protector. I've purchased 5 so far. First 3 turned out to be a more bespoke cut glass at the top section to fit around the camera and underneath the speaker (all happened to be same brand from 3 different sellers, but they all had the same issue. Top section wouldn't adhere and bottom right corner too.
Bought two square protectors that just fit the visible screen and that's slightly better but small areas won't adhere, again top bottom right being the main culprit. Luckily I've been able to get refunded for the poorly fitting protectors but I'm getting fed up of having to change them every few days. I've never had such issue with fitting a protector as I normally get it spot on first time.
Anyone know where I can get a proper one, cut correctly and adhere to the LG's fussy screen?

But do any of them fit with the Spigen Style Armor slide on case?? That is the burning question.

I have a gold G5 and tried 3 tempered glasses in the mall but none fitted my phone. The corners below and above has bubbles lifting the tempered glass. It is now my problem where to find a good protector.

Hi, thanks for the help! But i cannot sign up on this amazon page because it's in german not all are being translated into english

Screen is curved
Just wanted to update you there is not a screen protector that is glass which fits the LG G5 because the screen is curved slightly in the bottom corners. This is an issue which the accessory manufacturers are aware but apparently have no intentions of resolving . So just to be perfectly clear you will not ever find a screen protector that does not bubble on the bottom right and left hand corner unless it is a plastic screen protector.

I am using one, a cheaper than the Spigen one. But it works great! Suprisingly good actually. Since I hate screen protectors cause I always get one dust particle underneath it.. It makes me take it off again. But with the tempered glass It fell exactly on place and without any dust underneath it..

You can pick one up in the Verizon stores, I'm not sure of the hardness rating, I like the feel, it's rounded, does the job and looks good. It's about 25 bucks, can get them cheaper online but if you need one ASAP, pick one up in the verizon store, they'll install it as well so if they mess up have them do it again free of charge.
But out of all the reviews, the best one seems to be by iloome.

That one looks nice, I really like the MIME Feather Glass since it is only .15mm thick.
I'm using the Spiegen - the top of the line one.
It works great so far and fits the Spiegn Sim armour vieww case with no problem.
While I like a good deal too, I don't understand that we buy a VERY expensive Note 3 and then try and cut corners with the Glass and case.
I wish I could use one. On day one, I started with the Verizon tempered glass screen protector and I loved the feel of it, but over a few days time, the top right corner developed an odd sort of hazy "bubble" that wouldn't stay flattened out. I confirmed the screen protector wasn't touching the frame, so I figured it was just the "crappy" store brand screen protector. I decided to go ahead and get a MIME Ghost Glass to replace it, and over the next few days, the same story. Top right corner, bubble.
Upon closer inspection, my Note 3 has an (almost) imperceptible "bend" in the very top right corner of the screen. The only way I could tell was the way the light warps a tiny bit in the reflection of the glass in just that corner. The rigid nature of tempered glass coupled with this slight bend in the phone's glass causes the corner of the protector to lift ever so slightly off the screen, creating the ugly bubble.
The phone was bought new, has never been dropped, and is in perfect condition, it's simply a manufacturing "defect". So, it's back to the regular old screen protectors for me.

Hi y`all.
Prefer brando rounded edge.
Removed it though. thought it botched up my proximity sensor.
Turns out it dosn´t work properly even with screen protector removed.
got a new sensor. Haven´t installed it yet. fairly simple though.
You guys have trouble with the proximity sensor?

Better than ordinary screen protector quality. I.e. Zagg/ Spigen quality.
It is VERY nice and clear.

nah, bro, see one of the options listed as, "Asus Padfone S"... that's the one I picked... :good: (not zenphone)...
It's a little harder to see because it's not listed on the "title" but it's available inside after you've clicked it.
Tempered glass screen protectors are night and day compared to the normal (film) ones... hence I shared my findings.. cause I know some of you out there appreciates high quality screens

Hi, after you use the screen protector, do you have any issues with slotting the phone into the station? i.e. any difficulty in the station sensing the phone? According to Asus, they do not recommend a screen protector due to this, but I am kind of uncomfortable with my screen being unprotected.

I got the screen in today, took awhile longer to arrive than I had hoped.
After getting it on the phone does still fit inside the tablet dock, but it is noticeably harder to pull out of the dock. Whatever wiggle room there was before is pretty much gone now. On the one hand this could be a good thing, since the phone will be more stable if you walk around with it in the tablet dock - but on the other hand pulling it out of the dock takes 15 seconds longer than it did before and if you're trying to "grab 'n go" that could be frustrating.
Overall, I'm happy with Nillkin's tempered glass screen protector. Very similar to Zagg's product, which isn't available for the Asus Padfone X/S. Where this product is slightly better than Zagg is that it included several tempered glass circles - I wasn't sure what it was for since there are no circular home buttons on the device. Then I realized it was for the camera on the back! I chose not to put the protector on the camera, but I think it's a nice-to-have option if you're into that.
One thing to note, the installation kit has several instructions which are hard to understand. Basically:
Use wet wipe #1 to clean the screen
Use dry wipe #2 to dry off the screen
Use blue static cling to pull any remaining fibers or dust particles off screen
Apply screen
Use cloth to clean screen off
I found that use of the blue static cling put more dirt and fibers on the screen than pulled off - ended up doing steps 1 and 2 over.

Hi,
thanks for the update!
While waiting for someone to reply, I also purchased the screen protectors. They were not Nilkin brand, some other China brand. But they fit and work well. It is quite thin and there is no problem slotting in or out of the dock. The dock also seem to respond the same as before I applied the screen protector on the phone.
Some brands come with a sticker for Step 3. If not provided, I usually use normal scotch tape to stick the dust out.

After a couple of days with it, there is no more trouble sliding the phone in and out of the tablet station. I think that immediately after applying the Nilkin tempered glass screen protector, the screen protector has not fully bonded with the screen. Wait 24 hours before sliding the phone into the tablet station after applying the Nilkin 9H tempered glass screen protector.

Hi, can you take a photo of your device with the screen protector on it? I viewed the item on ebay, but there isn't a "hole" on the screen protector for the sensor (top left corner). If it fits perfectly it should have this "hole", and if it does, I'm getting this item asap. Hope you can help or if you have any comments regarding my enquiry. Thanks!

To which sensor are you referring? The ambient light sensor is to the right of the earphone speaker on both the Padfone X and Padfone S - right where the hole is punched in the tempered glass.
The Padfone 2 and Padfone Infinity models have it on the left - but this is not a screen protector for either the Padfone 2 or the Padfone Infinity. This is only for Padfone X and Padfone S.
I bought one of these tempered glass screen protectors and it lasted about a week and a half before it cracked on my bottom left corner. I've since replaced it with a Nilkin tempered glass screen protector which seems to fit better.

All About Pixel Screen Protectors

EDIT: Now that 5 months have gone by and some top contenders have truly emerged, I've updated the OP with the list of the protectors that seem to be the favorites in this thread and in others.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss screen protector options for the Pixel phone. This is where you can post thoughts and pictures of screen protectors you've purchased/used and to provide reviews and suggestions for others looking for tempered glass, plastic and wet apply screen protectors.

Pros:
- Full adhesive across the entire protector
- Full coverage
- Comes in black or white
Cons:
- Adhesive in center of screen is going to show dust particles more prominently.
- Edges may not adhere properly in some areas. (Blow dryer and pressure applied in the area for 1-2 minutes usually solves this)
Orzly 2.5D Pro-Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector
https://www.amazon.com/Google-Prote...898800&sr=1-3&keywords=intelliglass+pro+pixel
Pros:
- Full coverage
- Comes in black or white
- Easy to apply perfectly
Cons:
- No adhesive in center of the screen which creates space between screen and protector
- Can give an almost mirror like reflection from certain angles in highly lit areas
- "Dot matrix" over the screen, making reading text difficult in direct sunlight
- Can make blacks on the screen look very washed out and gray
Spigen GLAS.t R Slim Tempered Glass Protector
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8S5R93?th=1
Pros:
- Full coverage
- Comes in black or white
- Easy to apply perfectly
- No dot matrix in center of screen like Orzly
Cons:
- Can make blacks on the screen look slightly washed out (but not nearly as bad as the Orzly)
...
There are other options but these 3 seem to be the most favored among Pixel users.
I ordered the tempered glass from Verizon's website. With my discount it was like $16 and they usually work pretty well.
I got the Spigen Google Pixel Screen Protector Tempered Glass, I really like it.

Pleson and Orzly typically make some very solid TG protectors. However, I must admit that I'm pessimistic about the fit due to the curved edge of the screen. But at just $8 I'm willing to give it a try. Fingers crossed.
I have always been a fan of Invisible shields by Zagg. they haven't officially announced for Pixel yet though.

A perfectly installed tempered glass protector looks and feels like it isn't even there. However, with the curved edge of the Pixel screen, I am doubtful that I will be able to accomplish a perfect install. Admittedly, after going through a few protectors with my OnePlus 3, I ended up saying "screw it" and went bare with the screen and felt liberated. :laugh:
The screen looks/feels so great without a protector that it's worth getting some micro-scratches. The main reason I try to use a screen protector is for resale value purposes. But this time around I really am hopping to keep the Pixel for the full 24 months instead of making an incremental upgrade after 12 months. By then the phone will be worth like $150 anyway. So this time around, if I can manage a perfect install with the Pleson TG protector, I'll keep it on. If it doesn't work I'm going to throw it in the trash and just enjoy the screen bare.
I purchased Google Protect anyway so if something happens to the screen I pay them $79 and get a brand new phone the next day. With protection like that it's actually gotten silly to drop upwards of $50 trying all sorts of screen protectors.

I've used that screen protector on my OnePlus 3 and can't stand it. It has a rubbery feel to it and makes the screen look grainy. For me it's tempered glass or nothing.
I got the Pleson coming right now. I usually use the Skinomi glass protectors but they told me they were not ready as of yet. Pleson makes amazing cases wo i will try their screen protectors out. if they crack i will get skinomi later
I have a Pleson on my 6P and it's great.
I'm curious though, the first batch of 6P protectors covered the proximity sensor and people had issues. I'm assuming that thing under the top speaker (on the Pixel) is the proximity sensor and it appears to be covered. Maybe I'll wait for some reviews.

Pleson and Orzly typically make some very solid TG protectors. However, I must admit that I'm pessimistic about the fit due to the curved edge of the screen. But at just $8 I'm willing to give it a try. Fingers crossed.

I just hope the curved edge doesn't force the TG manufacturers to do what they did with the OnePlus 3, which was leave the adhesive on the sides and keep the middle of the protector just hovering over the screen because it created that obnoxious rainbowing in the middle of the screen and allowed dust to get in betweent he protector and the screen. .
bought the pleson TG 2 pack. I hope armor shield jumps into the game, love their stiff.

I have used Google Protect on my 5X and I assure you that your replacement will NOT be new(could be, but won't be). Change "brand new" to "refurbished" and you got it right. I tried three replacements for my 5X, all were refurbished. All had loose back covers and one had a pink screen. I ended up replacing the back cover myself with an aftermarket replacement to address the looseness.

Yeah, I remember you and I discussing the Orzly protector for the OnePlus 3. My rev 2 was pretty solid and offered great protection with a clean look. But over a few weeks it started to let dust get in, which got annoying. The plus side to that protector is you can peal it off, clean the screen and re-apply.
However, a couple of weeks ago I decided to go with no protector on the OnePlus 3 and it just feels/looks too great to go back. Since ordering the Pixel I've been much less gentle with the OnePlus 3, as well. The screen has now been exposed to plenty of dirt/grime from using it while working on the car and even sand from our camping trip this last weekend. Yet, every time I clean it and inspect the screen under florescent lighting I can't find a single visible scratch.
And supposedly the OnePlus 3 screen is less scratch resistant than other current flagships. If that truly is the case, then I'm seriously thinking the screen protector days might be behind me. Unless I can manage a perfect install with the Pleson one I ordered, that is.

Ah yeah I remember your profile picture somewhat. I don't get that much dust buildup but mainly due to my case probably hiding it well!
Ideally we would all like no case or screen protector on our phones but life isn't like that ????
My OPO got quite scratched up unfortunately before I had a screen protector so I always need one now!

Yet another screen protector thread...looking for one without black edges that's good

The title pretty much covers it. I see many questions on this, but no definitive answers. I tried the official one but returned it since it would cover the edges of the screen. Bought one off of Amazon that said it didn't do that, but it did as well.
So simply, I'm looking for one that won't cover the screen is good quality. Simple enough, no?
I bought this case by Nillkin for my phone and it came with a free screen protector film (not a glass protector) and I find it pretty decent. I didn't find any issues with fingerprints on it.
You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-Nill...=1504853058&sr=8-3&keywords=oneplus+5+nillkin
The Nillkin TGSP is probably the most compatible at the moment but it does have the larger gap around the edges, I've still got mine applied, hoping for more luck with the Rhinoshield case and a full face protector as the case is supposed to be much more compatible with them, my advice would be to go for the Nillkin until we all find the perfect replacement.

Thanks. Looks interesting particularly the all transparent version, curved edges and its cheap enough to experiment. There is no indication on where the adhesion is and no specific mention of a Oleophoic coating but describes an anti-fingerprint coating. I currently have the under screen dust issue with my Orzly tgsp but I love the feel of that screen so am looking for a alternative protector with similar finger feel.
I'm suspecting that my bumper case is causing the Orzly's issue as the dust only comes from the volume rocker area and likely due to the case pushing the Orzly's edge when pressed. Maybe this alternate protector with the curved edges would not have the same issue, while the all transparent version would likely have no issues cutting off the screen view unless the curved edge causes some undesirable optical effect.
If you get one please post your observations.

Well I post it here because I was looking if somebody already bought it. I have orzly with I'm happy however it have rainbow effect in the middle and sometimes it's quiete visible. My friend told me that he bought that one from link I sent (with black borders) and he is told me he don't have rainbow effect or cutted screen.. so i don't know
Like you I'm more interested in the transparent one as I don't know why there is even a black version on any of them.
On my Orzly I've seen the rainbow effect but only when the screen is at an unusual angle while wiping the surface clean but never when using the phone normally. It's only the dust that is driving me crazy. I'm even considering going with just my bumper case and no protector but I'll wait a while before going that route.
This one looks interesting (not glass though), quite clever application method, reminds me of the default screen protector that comes with the phone that a lot of people seem to like
Ringke Invisible Defender Screen Protector
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Invisible-Guaranteed-Compatible-Clearness/dp/B074137YDH/
Just read the Amazon reviews and they're not that positive.
I still have to receive my oneplus 5. Would you guys recommend keeping the pre-applied film with the orzly bumper over any screenprotector that's on the market now?

imak Oneplus 5 Transparent Clear Full Cover Edges 0.15mm TPU LCD Screen Protector for Oneplus 5 back Anti-shock Protective Film

i just want clear protective glass that covers the whole screen. anything similar to whitestone dome protective glass (for s8) would be great.
I bought the one from Nillkin until a better one came along. However it was pure garbage. It didn't fit the whole screen and the top notch was way off center. But the main reason I threw it in the trash was there was the entire right side would not stick to my phone. There was a good 1/8" section all along the right edge that was not sticking and just looked like crap.
Finally the almost perfect tgsp.....

Almost perfect is because its not fully adhesive. Only perimeter adhesive.
so dust will appear along the sides and rainbow will appear sooner or later.

i dont recommend it. after few hours of usage tiny dust appearing from speaker and sensor holes going right inside the tgsp. the coating is bad. attracts fingerprint n dust. screen will smudge all over.

Got it, but wich brand produce this one? Just to look around
No brand packaging on it...i would stay away from non full adhesive due to it attracts dust and rainbow effect. I would rather use a full adhesive tgsp eventhough it will block few mm from the sides
This is the best I found for now. Not full covered but minimal bars on the side and almost no rainbow effect. After 2 weeks no dust at all.

Pixel 4a Screen Protectors

Got a Pixel 4a in yesterday and a couple screen protectors. Here are my thoughts on them, in case this is useful for somebody.
[3 Pack]OMOTON Screen Protector for Google Pixel 4a, Easy-Install/Bubble Free/Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Pixel 4a
jaxidian said:
This screen protector has no cutout for the front-facing camera. They claim it's because a cutout causes the glass to break much more in that area. There is a bit of a notch for the earpiece speaker. It does come with a snap-on mounting guide to help you easily center the TGSP while installing. While it's not "full coverage", it does cover the full usable area of the screen. There is no adhesive, it does the suction/static cling thing that most screen protectors do today. I had some issues with some air bubbles that were always there (not from dust - I assume from imperfectly flat glass) but we'll give it a couple days to see if they go away. The screen protector fits nicely with a Caseology Parallax case with just a smidgen of a gap between the case and screen protector on all sides. The clarity and feel of the screen protector is just fine. I'm going to reserve judgment on whether or not this is a good permanent screen protector, but I definitely recommend this as a "cheap and good enough for now until we discover the great ones".

It seems fine not having installed it, but I can offer no opinions on it as a whole - I just wanted to share what I could.

If somebody gets a different screen protector or has a different opinion, post it here in this thread and PM me and I'll quote you up here in the OP.
Good to hear about the Omoton. I was pretty satisfied with the one on my OnePlus 6T. Got it perfect the first time, no lint or bubbles underneath, and it's still that way a month later. That's what I ordered for the 4a that's on the way.
Bought a "Lightning King" (L[emoji298]K) for a 3a off Amazon for cheap. You get three glass protectors which have camera cut out. I'm very satisfied with this product... And I'm picky.
If they make one for 4a get it

Purchased these off of Amazon and they seem okay until you try to get the edges to seal to the screen. Mine has a small gap I think because the actual screen protector is too big for the screen. So I would avoid.

Have the Omoton protector. Covers the usable screen, could be a bit wider, but it's better than their 3a protector, which distorted the edges of the display. No clarity issues, no installation issues. The cutout at the top of the screen for the speaker is unnecessarily wide. No hole punch. Reddit hasn't noticed a difference in selfie quality with/without a screen protector covering the camera.
My review of the Zagg Invisishield screen protector offered on the Google Play Store. Within 2 days of receiving the phone & applying the protector, I had thought I cracked my screen. Turned out to be the screen protector so Google is refunding me for that 40 bucks. Whew. Don't get tempered glass protectors. I hadn't dropped the phone or anything so the Zagg just decided to splinter and crack on its own.

They do make one and they're excellent. The installation is very easy with the supplied frame. It looks like it will work with pretty much any case.
I purchased the Mr. Shield screen protectors. I have had them for a few phones now and they always honor the lifetime warranty when I ask for replacements.
This one fits well. On the sides it is exactly as wide as the lit portion of the screen. No issue, but a tiny bit wider might have helped those who are not great with I stalls. Top and bottom are a little longer than the lit portion of the screen.
I will say this one does a very very good job fighting oils and fingerprints. I have not had to clean the screen once in 3 days.
Overall great price. They have great customer service and it fits well. If you have trouble installing screen protectors this one might be difficult as the width is exactly the same as the screen.

Any rainbow effect or adhesion issues on the edges?
Another down vote for Zagg. The corner with the cutout won't fully adhere to the screen.
I ordered ArmorShield. I had it on my last two phones and it was an excellent protector that lasted over two years. I had to order from the company because AMZ didn't have stock yet.

If you install it correctly it looks perfect. When you shift the phone side to side you can see one small line for the edge of pixels.
I am almost OCD about this stuff and it has not even captured my eye once. Just my 2 cents.
I got these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086V7DFPC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DiisFbB200TCM
Easy install, all good. No issue with Spigen Crystalclear case. Has a cut out for the camera, we will see how it holds up.
Have used Ailun & SuperShieldz, along with a couple of others in the past, this time I decided to give "Lightning King" (LK) a try. Got 3 in the box, along with the alignment frame and plenty of cleaning supplies for installation. Installed the first one yesterday; went on fine, perfectly aligned, crystal clear, no conflict with the Spigen Tough Armor case, and looked to be of high quality, similar to Ailun & SuperShieldz. Totally satisfied.

Yep. First time I've ever bought them with an alignment frame included - worked very well.
I've never used a screen protector before, but now that a canister of cooking spray fell and broke my 3a XL's glass and display, I have an order for a 4a Just wondering, honestly, how well tempered screen protectors actually work. My understanding is that in theory, in my situation for example, instead of the glass/display being broken, a protector would have shattered first, more than likely saving the actual phone screen. Do these protectors help a whole lot, or not all that much in real world use if stuff falls on the phone, or you drop it and are unlucky that it should fall face-down on a hard surface? I do have an order for protectors on the way this time since it seems like it can't hurt.,

Over the years, I have chipped, cracked and, in one case, shattered screen protectors; but never had the phone screen damaged. In the vast majority of those cases, I'm sure there would have been damage to the phone. I also put cases on my phones, for the same reason.

Can you show how the LK protector fits the display? Like the camera cutout and how far past the display does the protector go or does it end with the display? I have a LK protector on my 3a and it's the best fitting protector I've ever had. I have a 4a coming and want to confirm if the LK protectors fit correctly before I order.
Thank you ?

Maybe check out some of the reviews/pictures/videos on Amazon. It looks like there are pictures of what you're asking for I bought the LK based on what I've read here, just waiting for my 4a and case, protectors,, to come in!
