My experience with Verizon's tempered glass protector

[eabaggot]

I bought one and installed it. No dust or bubbles. It is a little smaller than the full glass, but covers the display area completely, which is correct. But, if it is even one millimeter off, it will show a slight sliver where it is not flush with the glass surface. It won't heal itself either.
I have bought another one to replace the one that was not correctly placed. In the meantime, I decided to experiment with the one already on, with regard to removing and reinstalling.
I took it off and put it back on several times to reset it, and there were dozens of dust halos. Yuck. So, since it was now officially useless, I removed it and washed the adhesive side with soap and water to dry to remove the particles and let it dry. Then I reinstalled it. The result was amazing! It adhered just like new, and since I did a better job of aligning it this time, there was very little halo. It looks better than the original installation!
So, just in case you didn't know, you can abuse these things a bit and get away with it.

Good to know. I have had mine on since the end of Oct '14. One of the Verizon store reps put it on well the first time. No halo and no complaints.

Good to know. Mine just came in the mail today and I immediately put it on. Cleaned the screen with an alcohol swab then the dust cloth that came with it. Have to say, the alignment guide on it is a fantastic feature. Anyways, I had a couple small dust halos that I knew I wouldn't be able to live with so I was a little worried. I gently peeled it back off and used the little stickers that say "To Remove Dust" on the two spots then re-applied. To my surprise it stuck just fine minus the dust halos this time. I've only had it on for about an hour at this point but it seems nice so far.

This is the first Tempered Glass protector I've used and I may be a convert for life now. I'd used Zagg Shields before and hated them so my last couple of devices were unprotected but I'd notice tiny scratches on the screen so I wanted to avoid that this time. So far, I'm happy.

Good to hear. I've had the Tempered Glass for a while now and it feels and looks great. No halo effect at all but as mentioned if you're even slightly off you'll have a slight halo. I wish Motorola and others would ditch 2D glass.

You don't have Tempered Glass. You have Flexible Glass which feels and attracts fingerprints like cheap plastic protectors. I've used it, it sucks. Verizon just recently came out with Tempered Glass and I've installed two of them on two different phones.

My friend just bought his Turbo earlier in the week and installed the Tempered Glass by Verizon himself. I can confirm it went on without even a slight halo effect.

Its all positioning I guess.
