I had one of these in the past but it wasn't the clear one, it was the anti-glare I think. They make some high quality stuff. It was my favorite protector on my Nexus S.

I've got the crystal clear I'd on my RAZR Maxx and it's awesome. Can't tell it's on there.

SGP and the Zagg HD are the best in the business. However, as there is not a Zagg HD version available at this time, yes, buy the SGP.

They actually just came out with a pack that covers both the front and rear of the Nexus 4, I've ordered mine and I highly recommend buying that one.

I've heard people say they love clear. As far as the one I had, I believe they call it "oleophobic". That one isn't as crystal clear as the "Clear" version, but it keeps fingerprints off and prevents that rainbow effect. It just comes down to personal preference.

Does this "Ultra Oleophobic" mean anything ? what impact does it have ?

**Nirmal Agarwal** · 12-13-2012, 02:08 AM

Do we need a protection at the back ? I am planning to have one cover .

SPIGEN SGP Nexus 4 Screen Protector Clear Steinheil [Ultra Crystal Dual] Clear Front and Back Protector [1-SET] Clear Film Cover Shield -- Do you mean this one ?

What is the difference in quality between this and what I am planning ?

**TheLibertarian** · 12-13-2012, 05:15 PM

This.

**NexusOneto4** · 12-14-2012, 10:04 AM

I have the dual on mine, ultra clear. Love it, when I first put them on you couldn't even tell they were there. A little bit of fingerprinting but I prefer clear to the anti-glare, oleoph versions. Highly recommend them.

How do you guys feel that it doesn't cover the curved edges? can someone post a picture in good lighting so I can see how much the screen protector actually covers? I might consider getting this one...never used dry screen shields.

It is good quality and everything but it's a bit pricey for a screen protector, I mean $14 is insane. I'm not sure but get an xtreme gaurd, the ones that are on sale for $1 right now. They are said to be pretty good and it's cheap too.

Well you do get two so it's $7 a piece and they are of higher quality. XtremeGuardz is decent for the price, but the thing is a dirt/lint/fingerprint magnet. And it has a rubbery feel. I installed the damn thing in the bathroom after taking a hot shower (steam removes all dust particles) and after I set it on my table the thing is full of lint/dust on the edges. Even trying to wipe it down with a fresh microfiber cloth just shuffles the lint around.

Huh. Well the site lied to me XD. Well I mean it's still expensive, more expensive than a poetic bumper that can protect your phone too (but not really from scratches but hey gorilla glass II is ing tough)

For the Spigen protector do you have to apply it using a liquid? I've never done that before and I don't want to mess it up. Is it easy to install? Thanks

Keeps fingerprints and oil off but not as clear as the ultra.

No liquid needed.

I'm just awaiting delivery of mine (UK).

Edited today: Definitely not worth it. I had hoped to cover the glass back as well in my dual pack but the cutouts are only for the front screen. Applying is as finicky and difficult as an ordinary protector. Oleophobic finish is good but overall this isn't enough to justify the expense :what:

Do you have any pics of the install on your N4? I'm considering the Spigen Dual and the Zagg full body protector.

I've read elsewhere that the Spigen doesn't cover the curved edges of the screen (actually leaves quite a gap) so it's prone to peeling off.

Thanks!
