Moto X 2nd Gen Tempered Glass?

[contesauce]

there's an XDA thread with the same content and over there is a guy who just recently got a bodyguardz tempered glass and didn't have the same issues affecting myself and other users, pics showed as much. I assumed that after many complaints bodyguardz corrected the issue. So after hassling bodyguardz for a few days they finally agreed to ship me a replacement for free, and we'll see if there is indeed a second batch that fixes the issue. I'll report on both threads as soon as I get it and find out one way or the other.

I hope that is the case. I need a screen protector soon.

Just received my tracking info, not updated as of yet, but again, will let you guys know what the outcome is.

Any update on this?

...

Also want to bump this thread - assume there's still no quality tempered glass w/proper fit. Any suggestion on best fitting plastic to hold over while we wait? Quality and fit is more important than price IMO. Anyone try this Skinomi?

Shipment got to Honolulu Friday, but we had a small hurricane over the weekend, says it should be delivered Tuesday. So either today or tomorrow. I would expect it today unless it hasn't been sorted to local mail yet.

I'm using Skinomi right now. It's not bad, my only trip is that the holes for the camera and proximity sensor didn't line up perfectly, so I just line it up with the camera since that's more important. Other than that, it's an easy screen protector to apply, and you can easily reapply it if you mess up.

iLLiumisheld's are great and fit the screen fine thus far. Its not a tempered glass though. Here is to hoping Zagg has one soon! I'd like to see theirs.

No joy guys. I just got my replacement for the bodyguardz and of course slapped it on. I'll still give it the few days to settle but it already looks exactly like the old one did. I don't think they fixed anything, maybe some buyers are just getting lucky. For now steer clear of the bodyguardz screenguardz pure.

Dammit I hope Zagg makes a good one.

I have a bodyguardz on with the same issue as listed here before.

Oh well. It protects. Has no bubbles. And I'll eventually get a replacement once this chips and a better one is out.

Just know this bodyguardz is one of the best I've used. And smooth to the touch.

I emailed tech armour tonight to see if they have any plans to produce one for the new Moto X. I have a contact from another forum I'm on for my truck and I'll let you guys know what he says.

I went through 3 of the bodygaurdz ones -- not one worked -- edges did not stay down -- even guy at att store could not figure it out

 

[doctorvik]

same problem - went through 3

The verizon tempered glass saved my X today. Dropped the phone on my trucks tailgate from maybe 2ft. Tempered glass broke screen undamaged tho. Going to invest in another tempered glass tomorrow. Until then my x is in the otterbox defender.

Will a Hula bumper cover and mitigate the problem of raised glass edges? Anyone tried both?

Slapped it on wife's phone noticed holes don't totally match up, if the were even a millimeter or 2 larger (the holes) would be fine.

I have one for my phone too, though I haven't put on. In meantime I have the simplest vzw 3 pack covers. Finger slides better than rubbery skinomi (imho)

Moto has sent me 2 shock absorbing protectors from motomaker, will arrive tomorrow.
I still don't know if it's a glass or a film, moto site doesn't say much, but I'll update you guys once it's slapped on.

My goal is to get a quality glass that will work nicely with the curved screen.

Could be there aren't many options for this phone because of our curbed display glass, could be companies couldn't get it right (bodyguardz sure is paying the price).

Let's hope something good comes out, I love the phones design, front and back!

The Skinomi screen protector actually feels better after having it on for a few days, but it's still not my favorite screen protector.

Yeah, It doesn't feel too bad, I'd say better then the more rubbery zagg standard skin

It's not a tempered glass screen protector but I really like the iLLiunishield screen protector. easy install and feels great to the touch!
