Anyone using this on their nexus? How about on the back side, which is what I am most interested in?
I've seen mixed results, but I really am hating the screen protectors I've seen so far. Ready to try something new.
Anyone know if this work effect the speaker or camera?

I'm interested in this stuff as well.. I can't imagine it's removable though..?
Personally, I rather know that I have put something down on the screen via screen protector instead of having to second guess whether I put enough liquid armor on, or whether I covered all the spots with proper amount. Just too much uncertainty.
edit: Just read that you have to REAPPLY the liquid armor every 6 months..... yeah for $25 a bottle, I don't think that's worth it.
Doesn't work. It's more like a polish than anything else.

Is this any different than Rain-X?
I decided to give it a try. I really just want the phone to not slide around on the back. I've seen reviews saying that this leaves a little bit if a grip or stick feel to it, so I'm hoping that will be the case. I never have scratched any of my old phones, so I'm willing to take a chance. I'll let you guys know when I get it and after a few days or use if I can notice a difference.
By the way it's only 14 bucks shipped off Amazon.
If anyone wants to do a real comparison and has some old phones lying around you could always apply this to one of them and start do a real scratch test so we can see if it works or not.
The G1 screen is plastic isn't it? I have one laying around somewhere.

I would think it's glass since people have shattered their screens but I've read mixed reviews. Anyways, it would be awesome if you actually did do a real test. Not with a pair of keys or scissors, but a real one with sand. See if that liquid armor really does put a film over the screen
Ive actually been using this on my nexus and all i can say is that i love it!! im very careful with my phone anyways so i never drop it.. ive applied it on the back and the front and i dont have any problems with it.. screen is very clear and it feels a lot better !!

You don't notice any harm to the speaker or sound coming out of it? That's one of my concerns about the back that the liquid armor help email could not answer.

id assume that all this is, is a hydrophobic coating that most companies use to coat electronics these days. it WONT protect against scratches.
least this is my assumption and i wouldn't not trust a spray over a rubber/plastic barrier.

That's pretty much it, there's no scratch protection whatsoever from this stuff. It makes the glass slightly more grippy and fingerprint resistant. I have a bottle of it gathering dust on my shelf.
I've been using it on my nexus 4, front and back. Although after 10 days of use I don't see any scratches (even hairline), it just doesn't feel quite enough psychologically. I'll be buying a screen protector today. Just don't know which one yet. Any suggestions?
P.S. I also applied this on other devices, like my motoactv etc, and no scratches there either. So it looks like it works, but no way to say for sure.

Initially, I felt the grippy feeling on this; but it lasted not even two days. I clean my phone with alcohol wipe at least once a day and I am pretty sure once I wiped this down with alcohol it took anything that was on it right off.
Does nothing bar clean your screen. Avoid.

Bought the bottle, it says 50 odd applications, v v v easy to use, zero tackiness or texture, put it on my N4 and my kids s3 and Note and the various tabs we have, it feels very smooth as good as naked screen and no sign of a scratch on any of the devices.
It's way way better than any screen protector I've ever had and I'm good at applying them, I hate the way they feel, attract grease and get covered in a myriad tiny scratches and that's if you manage to get bubble free.
I was gona buy a Spigen curved crystal for the N4 like I did for the s3 but liquid is better and a lot cheaper.

Samsung should have done a back cover that extented through the whole phone's back, the bump in the lower part gets scratched very easily, am i the only one? and yeah i dont use a case on my phone, a cover plate destroys the slim figure of the phone

It's because of this I bought a "case-mate barely there" case.
I've never had a case before and didn't want one for this phone because I didn't want to loose the thinness either. Very glad I did though. The phone is still very thin and (on the black case) has a nice matt, slightly grippy texture which I personally find preferable to the standard backing.

Looks real good, but it's a little expensive, is it worth it?
is the touch still fully functional now ?
I see this thread and shake my head.
Getting a decent case is the first step to protecting a phone that you just spend a lot of money on. It might make it a little less thinner, but it will offer better grip and allows you stop babying every time you set in the table.
As for the dude that broke the glass, that was probably like the one weak spot. GorillaGlass isn't supposed to scratch or crack. Just avoid putting the phone in the same pocket as your keys and you shouldn't need to waste money on a screen protector.
This thread is painful.

gorilla glass is NOT scratch proof, keys won't damage the screen but dust will , the kind of dust/dirt that it's usually on people's pockets
I only ever keep it in a pocket without keys or anything else so never worry about a case.
The phone was on the floor next to my chair charging up while i was watching tv, knocked a fork off the coffee table and you guessed it, right on the phone.
No screen protector is gonna protect against that happening lol.
Everything is working fine actually. just feels a bit iffy when sliding over the long cracks in the glass.
Will be going in for new screen under insurance claim as soon as i been on my hols. so stuck with it like this for a few weeks.
Where can I get one from?
Pulled up to 7-11 this morning for some coffee, One was on my lap, parked, opened door, got out, SLAP!!! It fell face down flush with the ground (asphalt). I think I stared at it on the ground for about 3 minutes, before my eyes teared up I decided to face my fears and pick it up. The glass was perfect, no scratches, nicks, or cracks... I was VERY surprised. It fell hard, the aluminum on all 4 corners does have a nick in it, but the glass was fine.... Awesome.

I think because all 4 corners are chipped, most of the force was distributed and saved your screen.

He was alone, I yelled at him, he cried, I relented. I'm weak like that. Ah well.
Seems the 4 corners of the phone are slightly raised as I dropped mine face down and only one corner has a little nick.
HTC phones have always been indestructible for me especially the screens. Galaxy s3 and note 2 screens are very fragile.

I was just thinking the same.
I'm a fan of the Baseus Slim flip case. It's cheap, good quality and it protects the screen.
I never thought I'd like a flip case but it's actually really unobtrusive and when I'm home I take it out.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300885232164
I loved the slip case for the Sensation. It was light, thin, aesthetically pleasing and protected the phone really well. I don't understand why HTC didn't continue making them in that style. They went back to the chunky ones with the pull tab for the One X and they don't do a slip case for the One at all. I much prefer being able to feel the lines of such a beautiful device when I'm using it.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180718618384
I would never have a flip case that holds my bank cards though. Firstly it's very nature makes it larger than necessary but you're also making a very convenient little package and advertisement for muggers and pick pockets. Not clever if you live in a city.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I gotta ask you something guys.
I'm trying to decide what to buy. Flipcase, pouch or some clear gel case.
I really want to buy a pouch because I don't want to hide this beauty. So my question is; when do you think people drop their phone most? while talking or while taking it out of pocket? I mean if I got pouch it'll protect it if I drop when taking out of my pocket. But It wouldn't help if it was in my hand (obviously)
I always like pouches. All of my phones look like new when I finish with them.
In my opinion, skins don't protect the phone it's so easy to scratch the screen in your pocket and screen protectors look like ****.
Flip covers aren't ideal either. You could easily get keys or loose change between the screen and the flap, when in your pocket.
I like pouches because you hold the phone as it was intended to be and you view it as intended. What's the point of having a beautiful device if it's hidden under layers of gel, leather or plastic? It's like everyone who has an iPhone is always telling me how beautiful it is and that's why they don't want an android phone. Then I ask them the last time they actually saw their beautiful iPhone out of it's case and that makes them think.
The difficulty I'm finding with the One and a slip case is as I pointed out above. HTC made a great slip case for the Sensation but the last few they've made have sucked. I have a One X slip case and it's huge both on the phone and in the hand. I've tried loads of third party slip cases in the past, with other phones, and the main issues are quality and that they're generally ill fitting. Not to mention they often look like crap.
The reason I started buying official HTC cases was that I was sick of buying new cases all the time and I saw one cheap and decided to try it. I have to say that the quality is generally way better with their own cases and I've bought official ever since (I've owned six HTC phones). This time round though I think they've screwed it up. The official cases for the One are too bulky. I want a tight fitting slip case that covers the top of the phone well but is easy enough to remove the phone from to answer quickly.
You also have to consider the material. When I first started buying cases I really didn't want leather and I bought ones made from textiles but they aren't so easy to slip in and out of your pocket. In fact gel cases pretty much grip the material in your pockets, this could cause you to fumble with the phone to get it out of your pocket and drop it. I say that because it has happened to me before and I had a few near misses. So. Anyway. I ended up realising why it makes a lot of sense to go with leather. It's just as easy to get in and out of your pocket as with no case at all.

Just wanted to rant about this being the slipperiest phone I've ever had. Just dropped outside a training class for work. Thankfully I was using Spigen Slim Armor that cushioned the shock and only ended up with a knick on the case itself. I can literally grip this phone and have it slip through my hands.
If you have the slim armor on it, wouldn't it be the CASE that is slippery?

Ok.
First off you said its slippery and you dropped WHILE using a case. So that makes the case slippery not YOUR PHONE.
AND SECOND: i found with the right temperature outside its actually quit sticky.

Agreed... The M8 is worse also..
i do question how you can say a phone is slippery when its in a case as that would mean the case is slippery as you arent holding onto the phone itself. looking at that case though i can see it matches the phone curves so maybe thats what you mean? anyway, in or out of a case i didnt find mine particularly slippery, although ive got large hands so maybe thats why it fits in my hand better?

Another thing you can do is buy the LG Slim Guard case. It is definitely more grippy than the standard back, and gives some edge/side protection.
This phone is pretty slippery. I have never dropped a phone before. My wife drops her joint at least 2-3 times through its life where we have to replace it and I have never had a case for a phone while she always needed one. This phone is different and I am kinda "irked" about it (Not seriously of course, but just disappointed in myself I can't stop dropping it before I catch 3000 posts of hate). I have dropped this thing at least 4-5 times, the part that irks me is that I drop it because I LOVE the engineering of the phones shell.
That said, I threw on a Speigel case and tempered glass and haven't had a problem dropping it since, but I sure hate having it on there even as "thin" as this case is because when I pop it off to switch memory cards I feel the lightness and curve of the original design and fall in love with it all over again... but I don't want to my wife to have the excuse to say "well you dropped your G3 so leave me alone!" so I leave that Speigel case on at all times! =)
These have been recalled by Zagg according to a Facebook exchange I had w/ Zagg and a rep Zagg Chick. They are on display everywhere including Best Buy and still available to order. The curve on the Note 4 glass causes the edges to remain lifted from the glass creating a weird halo tyoe of effect all the way around the edge. Some exchanges back & forth from custoners had Zagg requesting information (like a credit card, say what?) for an exchange when the engineering is corrected.
Don't want to load xda w/ bunch of useless photos but you can go to Zagg on Facebook and read more angry posts.

Got one on the day of phone release at Best Buy and had the guy install it - realized it was messed up, tried to put on a new one from a new package (for free) and it had that same halo effect because of the curved glass, so he just returned the glass one for me and I just got one of the normal Zagg kind and installed that for me and I was all set lol.

Bought mine at sprint the day it released as well. The halo dowant really bug me. When im using the phone i dont really notice and i have the samsung case so its closed when im not using the phone. But i do still have the zagg boxes and i registered the zagg glass already. When thru release the updated version ill awitch it out.
I bought this PThink - was like $9 - anyone ever used it?
Haven't had a chance to put it on yet
I did look at the glass and it does not appear to be curved. Although I can't tell for sure until I put it on.
Yeah, I was all set to take it back today along with a usb wifi adapter I decided not to use. Halo thing bugs me some, not to mention it looks like I'm eating KFC and texting on my phone from all the smudges on the screen. Even at $40, I decided to keep it to protect my phone.

These have been recalled by Zagg according to a Facebook exchange I had w/ Zagg and a rep Zagg Chick. They are on display everywhere including Best Buy and still available to order. The curve on the Note 4 glass causes the edges to remain lifted from the glass creating a weird halo tyoe of effect all the way around the edge. Some exchanges back & forth from custoners had Zagg requesting information (like a credit card, say what?) for an exchange when the engineering is corrected.

Thanks for taking the time to share this. I got mine today, and the sprint dude said if you apply heat to it, then will go down. I'll borrow the neighbors hair dryer to see if this works.....I'm kinda doubting it...but if it does, I'll share. Otherwise, I'll be waiting too....but from someone who had 4 Notes 3's....due to breaking the screen....when he sold it to me, it was like I could hear angel music and bright lights were shining. LoL. If it really works, I'll be happy.
Please share your results. In my experience, tempered glass doesn't bend like that but my experience doesn't consist on phone screen covers.... ☺
My thing is you shouldn't have to apply heat to a $50 screen cover. The other material you can apply heat (sudden temperature rise) and have flexibility, this I've done before.
Same thing here. Zagg edges not down at edges. Sprint basically told me nothing they can do. Unbelievable. I guess ill register my zagg and hope for a replacement when one is available. 40 bucks you would think it would fit properly. Oh well. Ive contacted everyone i can.
Sprint said I was the first person to complain about it. I call b.s.
AS FOR ME.....GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH

Uhm..yeah...no go with the heat. The Sprint salesman told me it did work. I find his sales tactics to be subpar.

Well I've gone though two Zagg glass shields on my Note 4, plus I've also gone through an HDX. Both of the glass shields didn't go down at the bottom. The problem with them not laying down on the edges was worse on the iPhone 6 and 6 plus. The HDX went down just fine but I really wanted a glass shield.
As for Zagg having recalled them... I'm not to sure if they have otherwise we wouldn't carry them at Best Buy. I have, however, noticed that you can purchase the shields on Zagg's website but they are backordered.
Zagg released a second batch of the iPhone shields that worked perfectly fine so I'm sure that they will for the Note 4 as well.
Ps... These devices are the only ones with these issues. I've probably put down hundreds of shields and never had issues.

Fits perfectly for me.
Took mine back to sprint... THey tried to give me the 14 day policy.... I told them they need to override that summa of bi*tch and give me my money back. I know this won't work for everyone but be very addimit about your money and I hope it works for everyone.
My girlfriend is notorious for scratching and breaking her phones. She has had her Note 7 for 1 week now and the phone is totally naked. She throws her phones into her purse and they ping pong around bouncing off various plastic and metal objects while shes on the move. I warned her over and over that this glass is softer and scratches easier, she didn't listen. Today her phone was sitting face down on the tile counter top covered in greasy, lotion smudges. She hasn't even removed the IMEI sticker from the back of the phone yet. It looks like ****. So I took it and spent 3 minutes wiping it down to take a really close look at it under our dining room table light. I cleaned it to perfection and put it under the light. Can you guess what I found?
Not a single mark or scratch. I don't know if she has been lucky or if the scratches have been hyped up somewhat. I have a Note 7 on the way and plan to put it through some real world use, not the Mohs scale.
If it helps you i have thrown my phone pretty hard and it is perfectly fine. I was testing the forces on it. As well there is a video were a user dropped it from 100FT in the air and it was enclosed in ice and it was perfectly fine. You have no worries G glass 5 is pretty dam strong , Other users will have their thoughts i am giving my 1st hand experiences.
PS I put my phone in my pocket with my keys for most of the day a week ago and it had no scratches i could see... I use and abuse my phones for durability

Wow a day riding around with keys lol Can you please find the nearest light and look closely for any scratching? I was thinking that maybe my girl got lucky and her phone missed the keys every time, but if you had it in a small pocket with nothing but keys, well that right there is scientific evidence my friend lol
I left mine with my keys also and have not scratches. I even check under bright lights.
I left mine in a bucket filled with bricks....What do you know? Not one scratch! I love this phone.

Funny i babied mine for a week, i have a fine scratch on my screen and smaller ones on the back near the bottom curve from dust/sand that got in the case.
These testimonials are great but Gorilla Glass hasn't broken balance of hardness to toughness so the more shatter resistant they claim to be, its very likely the easier they will become to scratch as hardness drops.
Some of you just arent looking hard enough and micro scratches add up over time.

Sand will scratch diamond lol No but sand is some scary stuff. I've seen so many friends get grime in between their phone and case and they pull it out months later only to find their phone is destroyed. No cases for me.
I read an article where the author gave Corning a chance to rebut the whole scratch video and what the essentially said was that it wasn't the glass scratching but the softer substrate being left on the glass. Also was stated that all glass has a hardness rating of at least 5. I'll see if i can find the article and link to it
Here we go

I keep my case and take a risk, maybe get that spray on stuff for the back. Fine scratches from a case is better than a shattered back or from no case IMO

I've have 14 quadrillion phones and have only broken one so I just keep insurance for that super rare occurrence. I do have a huge problem with phones falling out of basketball shorts when I'm sitting but that only chunks the housing. Damn basketball shorts....
I did nothing on my screen for the first few days. Put the phone in a pocket on its own. Clean pockets. No sand or anything. I have two scratches so far on the front screen. FML. They are fairly surface. But there. I now have been on the hunt for a decent screen shield as a result.

My friend on my plan was taking a photo while hiking and dropped it onto dirt and grass and the screen shattered. It's all about how it's dropped I guess

I will say that I've been rocking mine without a screen protector for a week and I have no scratches. However, on my first Note 7 (returned it because of
) I got two small very thin scratches on the screen within having it for 3 hours... I had only put it in my clean pockets for like 10 minutes, I pulled out lint and vacuumed my pockets since it was day one and the video had just come out showing how easy it was to scratch.

5 days now and no marks. Woke up and the phone was on the floor this morning 10 feet from my bed. No idea how it got there. Was on carpet though. Bumped it into a door frame earlier and not a mark. Phone is flawless. Only time will tell.
I dropped mine face down and it didn't scratch or ding. I was expecting a broken screen lol. I got lucky
