Suggestions for using a case and screen protector at the same time - Droid Incredible General

I have a full glass screen protector on my phone and I also have the high gloss silicone snap on case from Verizon. Both work very well separately but I am having issues when I use them together.
The problem is that the case rubs very tightly against the phone on the corners. This causes the screen protector to be peeled off the glass in those corners.
I can't see how I can use both so I am just using the screen protector for now. Any suggestions? Perhaps there is a case that works well that doesn't do that? I do not want a holster as I want the phone in my pocket.
Thanks.

I use invisible shield and bodyglove case tho sometimes use otterbox. works great excellent protection.

Got a link to the bodyglove case?
You say Otter box has a case for this phone?
To the main question cut the corners of the screen protector the screen can still shatter under the protective film, I would not use this phone without a case.

i use a silicone skin case. soft and smooth.

bought bodyglove from sprint and totally protected

Cutting the corners is so smart and simple. Great solution.

Do you have scratches on your Corning glass

I am debating whether to use a screen protector....
No, not a single one. And I use my N7 on a daily basis (since mid July) without a screen protector.
Just get good cover for the N7 (LuvTab, Poetic, etc.) and you'll be perfectly fine.
No, but I am pretty careful with it. My phone has gorilla glass and I have a scratch on that. It aint scratch proof.
Some fine scratches that are only noticeable when the screen is off and at an angle, so nothing to worry about too much. I refuse to use protection

Had a screen protector on, looked terrible. Now I'm using it naked, but with a pouch.
No scratches yet,it's been several weeks.
I don't know but I actually prefer the look of my screen with a matte SP on. I also love the feel and the lack of fingerprints. My N7 was stolen yesterday and I bought a new one. I had a SGP Matte Ultra Fine protector on it and it is sorely missed after using the stock glass.
The fingerprints are the worst and I hate how after playing a game with a D-pad for a few, the area under your thumb starts to get tacky and hard to slide. I'm having to constantly wipe it down. I'm putting another one on there ASAP.

The glass material of the screen seems to be reliable.
My N7 previously has a AG screen-protector, but then I removed it So far there are no scratches, but probably because it is protected by a case with smart cover.
If being afraid of any scratches that N7 may have, I would suggest an AR screen-protector. Try it.
No scratches on mine. It was also over a full month before I purchased a case.
What can you do to get rid of scratches if you get them or can you?

Cheapo screen protector on the front, stock protector that comes with it on the back and s-line tpu case. Eventually will be installing my ArmorSuit full body protection hopefully with some kind of bumper.
Still have the factory screen protectors on mine, even though I've had it for 2 weeks Lol. Haven't found time to put my BestSkinEver on it yet.

Xtreme guard...Zagg or Fossman which im using now...which are working great...got them off ebay...
I got an XtremeGuard on the back and a Skinomi on the front with the Google bumper. I am waiting if Tech21 will put out a D30 bumper for the N4. If so, I'll be all over that.
I hope otterbox finally make a case for us...that would be perfect...

Nope. I have three different kinds of cases and they all do their job pretty well. I guess it just depends on which case you use.
Using a Diztronic case since December and have no problem with the bezel getting scratched.
My bezel is getting scratched just by being my pocket!!! I've never put anything my pocket besides the phone not have I ever put the phone with the screen facing down.

I'm using the diztronic tpu case since jan and my bezel has a good amount of scratches too :/
Used the Diztronic TPU case for 2 weeks and got a ton of scratches on the bezel on the top end and bottom end of the phone; had none before, and haven't gotten any more after.
Not the case's fault per say, but the "chrome" finish scratches very easily, so if an otherwise harmless bit of grit gets trapped between the case and the bezel it gets it's sandpaper action on.

Its like the case is trapping dirt and its then scratching it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Every tpu / hard case I have ever had has scratched the bezel in one way or another, however not as much as if it wasn't on there, as others said grit/muck/dust gets trapped between the phone and the case, as the cases are pretty tight but can move (i.e. if you squeeze the sides of the case with a tpu case) and this cuases the sratches. I use the Official bumper and have had no problems on the N4, but I take it off and clean it/the phone pretty regularly, however the the design of the bumper means the upper rim of the case is lifted off the screen/bezel by 0.5-1 mm.
Best way to combat this is to give it a quick clean every day, but even then it will still happen.
I'm using a Kayscase which I ordered before they were completely stocked -- I tell you this because the case has no logo. I ordered another case by BoxWave (the Blackout LG Nexus case) -- it turned out to be the exact same case as the Kayscase (Slim Soft Gel Cover). They seem to do an excellent job of keeping the Nexus 4 scratch-free (face, back and bezel). I like this case because it's unobtrusive and allows me to lay the phone face down on flat surfaces.

S4 and Otterbox

Anyone have strange issues with airview and cases?
I normally wouldn't use a screen protector but one came with the Otterbox commuter so I used it.
My airview seems to jump around with the case and screen protector.

Perhaps part of the case is sticking down to the screen protector covering the screen somewhere. Sounds to me like there is a section of the screen being held down and when you attempt to use the feature, it jolts and jumps around not knowing where you want it to move.
I noticed this issue with a couple of cases on my friends. I think it is the cover near the sensors. What they did was remove the screen protector near sensors area and widen up the sensor area if your case covers it.

ever since the first drop which also broke my screen I always use a case right I'm using spigen slim armor also I'm first to vote
I feel like the case is mandatory on this phone. One of my only complaints about it. I wish I could get away from using a case because the size feels so much better that way but it just doesn't feel sturdy enough.
I've got the LG smart window case but I'm scared to use it because people saying it scratches the LG g2 screen

I also am using the "slim armor" it is a great case so far. I also have the screenmate "flex" screen protecter on the glass... amazing so far!

I don't use a case, but I do use a vinyl back and a screen protector. That's the best balance for me of protection and comfort.
I use the Seido kickstand case. It seems thin compared to the Trident Aegis case I had on my Sg2.
Body glove, not worth breaking the phone.

I went with no case for a few weeks had a minor drop ding up the corners and was pissed. So I used the quick window case and then got scratches on my screen around the quick window from little things getting caught around and under the window I guess. Since I got a warranty replacement recently its a case and screen protector just to be safe.

Incipio Brig. No better case out for this phone.
Casemate tough case. Its dope because the rubber wraps over the face just enough to cover the screen protector as well. Looks good and is still slim.
LG G2 ftw
Spigen case and bullet proof tempered glass screen protector. it works. I hit it with a hammer and it did not crack. i used more force and the protector shattered but not my screen
the phone is a bit slippery without a case.
I'll be getting a wood skin thing from these guys as soon as they're for sale. Supposedly by the end of the month. http://toastmade.com/Android.html
D30 case hands down the best there is.
