This is the one I'm running on my phone. I really liked the hinge installation method - it was quite straightforward to keep dust out of it. It fits perfectly under my black Diztronic TPU case also. Both went on my phone before I even charged it the first time. The shipping on the iloome predicted as a week after I ordered but it only took 2 days.

Here's an Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/iloome-ScreenMate-Flexible-Protector-Oleophobic/dp/B00LFTLYYQ
You could also use scotchtape for any other screen protector.
Eff those Spigen screen protectors... I couldn't lay the damn thing down without getting lint under, I ended up crushing a effing $30 screen protector in my hands.
Should of taken your time. If there was lint, lift up the screen protector just enough to slide a piece of scotchtape underneath to grab the lint. Pull out the tape and put the screen protector back done. Repeat this until all lint or dust particle is removed.

You can place a piece of tape on the screen protector and use that as a lifting tab.

I went with the skinomi: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L2PDY6O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's $15 with Prime and has a lifetime warranty: The purchase of any Skinomi product including TechSkin and DesignSkin includes a lifetime replacement guarantee. Yes, you read it right! We are confident that Skinomi products are the toughest and the only film protector you'll ever need. If ever a properly installed TechSkin is scratched, torn, or damaged, we'll replace it free of charge.

The last glass one I purchased for my X ended up breaking from my keys and I had to replace it so I figure the warranty might come in handy. Not many reviews but they were both positive. Arrives Saturday and I I'll try to come back here and update with my thoughts.
did you get the skinomi? does it look good.

I did and it was bad. The look and cutouts were fine but the protector had a defect in the lower left corner that resulted in a bubble. Could not find any dirt or dust and it wouldn't go away with tape. Emailed them twice with no response so returned it as defective through prime.

I ended up going with this one: iCarez® for LG G3 [Tempered Glass] Highest Quality Premium Anti-Scr... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KGSW734/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_AXz0tb0X2MWXE

Only $9 shipped and it had the most brilliant installation of any screen protector I've ever installed. Great cutouts and feel so I highly recommend it!

Sure no problem. On a side note: taking these photos really reminded me 1) how crappy the moto x camera is and 2) how little i miss ios in general.

This protector has fit under both the tech23 and the supcase with no issues.

I also used regular film for my phones. The film generally doesn't protect against impact, it is more prone to cracking. A tempered glass offers better protection. It would crack first, before the screen would be damaged.

Wow that glass is fancy. I've never had issues with my usual clear stick on $5 3-packs from any brand out there on Amazon. I just change them out after 6mo to a year for a fresh look.

I just installed the iCarez glass protector (thinner version) and have to say im pretty impressed. Install was a breeze. I didn't think that i prepared the install area that well in terms of dust but it went right on with zero bubbles. Feels very smooth also and doesn't attract fingerprints or smudge like many others I've tried.

So I ordered the ones from XtremeGuard Spartan Tempered Glass
http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-G3-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-g3-screen-protector.htm#.U8CjKOXD-3g

And used the discount code and got them for 6.00 a piece. Havent got them yet but people are reporting that they are aligned horribly and requesting refunds.

So now I need another brand. I've always used spigen for my regular screen protectors. Never tired a glass one.. But there's plenty of brands out there..

Anyone make any recommendations based on the g3 or previous phones models that they used an glass protector on?

Ones I've looked at are:

http://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Scr...&sr=1-2&keywords=lg+g3+glass+screen+protector

This is the one I ordered I review it when I get it in.

Just got it in the mail today. Install went smooth very simple to install. Glass it's thin but works great with my tpu case.

Came with alcohol pad
Fiber cloth
Hard card for bubbles
And glass


Feels like I have nothing on my phone and so far I don't have any trouble with the screen recognizing my touch. Recommended it to anybody who can get their hands on it!

Hey guys,

Is there a glass screen protector with a truly perfect fit? I currently have the mocolo one on my G3 and it leaves 0.5 mm on each side of the phone. The pictures of the protectors posted here seem to have all the same problem, some looking even worse than mine.

Does somebody know of a protector which is invisible, because truly edge to edge, WITHOUT a case? :)

I ended up ordering this one from eBay. Looks generic. But only one cut out. I'll post pic after install.


Edit: too much gap on sides. Similar to the extremguard one. Oh well. It will do for now.

Just put this one on: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L619698/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's about as "tight" to the edges and whatnot as you can imagine, it IS very thin, and feels good. I got a speck of dust under it on the right side, but it's actually just on the bezel and not the screen itself so it's hard for me to care. Easy install and it really does feel like there isn't one on there at all. Can't beat that.
