Well, that didn’t last long. I dropped the phone from about 2 feet on my desktop and the screen protector cracked down the middle. Contacted support to see if it should be that brittle, we’ll see the results. All in all, at this stage, cool concept but not very hardy.

Well you certainly can’t feel it but it is somewhat visible I would not use this protector cover up scratches. It certainly makes the face of the phone a lot better than was before. I just wish I could’ve gotten it before I scratched the phone.

Can you see the scratch on your screen through the tempered glass or is it covered up?

Well, I finally got my xgear screen protector in the mail today. 2 months after ordering it. 1 week after putting a scratch in my Gnex. Yea. Murphy lives with me now and his laws suck. Anyhow, if you have a good screen, as in new, then this is an awesome way to protect it without it looking as if there is a screen protector on it. EASY install, the easiest ever. Super clear and I’ve noticed NO change in touch sensitivity. Wish I had gotten it before the mysterious scratch, but oh well.

I just wanted to let you know I haven’t forgotten that I promised to tell you about the screen protector, but as yet, I have not received it. Yay me.

There’s a difference between “plain” tempered glass and Gorilla Glass. Watch the videos on YouTube.

Also check forums on the scratches the GNex is prone to receiving without extra protection.

I’m interested in this, but I have the Seido case due to my extended battery and it is unclear (1) how this protector attaches and (2) whether it will work with my current case. If anyone has insight into this, please let me know!

The problem with tempered glass is if the edge or corner is hit it explodes and would scratch the Nexus screen. If the Nexus falls flat straight down it should be fine and protect from scratches but also clear normal protectors. Laminated glass like in a windshield would be better but can not make that thin. Not for me..

you should try the screen protector from rearthusa.com (ringke). best i’ve tried yet, no glare, no fingerprints, and the feel is amazing ….almost dry and ‘powder-ey?’ …finger just glides across, no “sticking”. their slim case is beast too.

You might want to look into getting an XACT-O knife. I bet it makes short work of that plastic.
