I can't believe you tried them all? Clearly, there must be one that suits your needs?

Either way, screen protectors are made by 3rd party companies, so, sure, you'll find plenty - good ones and bad ones alike.

You can't find perfect match for 930, icon, 1520 and 830 because they have curved screen.

SuperShieldz has the best protectors IMHO. I already ordered mine and have them waiting for my 950 XL.

I have a glass screen protector on my HTC One M8 and can't wait to have one on the 950 XL. Glass protectors are so much nicer!

Are those tempered glass?

I'm in the process of buying accessories already and was wondering if anyone is offering a nice tempered glass protector for the 950 XL yet.

Do you even need a screen protector for the 950 series? Both have gorilla glass, so that should deter most scratches.

I've never used a protector and wouldn't start now after seeing the videos of a tester trying to scratch GG4 even to the point of wacking it hard with a chef's knife.

Glass screen protectors protect from more than scratches. They actually protect from drops. So when you drop your phone, the glass protector will shatter and leave your screen untouched. Already tested on gf's iPhones numerous times.

Most likely not glass ones. They usually make glass protectors for popular phones (iPhone, galaxy, etc).

Don't worry the Chinese companies will make the glass protectors and we will be able to get them through amazon for 5-10 each. If lucky XtremeGuard will make them and we can get them during one of their 90% off sales at 3-5 a piece.

I guess dude never heard of a clamp. I kept waiting for him to slice himself open. Not smart.

Krussel one of the companies that will release official cases, will also be releasing a tempered glass screen protector.

Skinomi screen protectors worked perfect on my 930.

I usually used a glass type protector but man after that video Gorilla Glass has really improved from GG3 to GG4, I really don't think a drop could crack GG-4, its like plexi-glass.. How the heck does it not scratch at all when digging a knife into it???

This is my first time buying unlocked phone outright so I too want to make sure nothing ever happens! I already ordered cases yes two of them for my new 950 XL from AMAZON with screen protectors! They two 3rd party products almost the same that I suggest you all take a look!

- Fone-Case
- ONX3

I picked up ONX3 Green and a Clear case's both with Tempered glass.

I also ordered brown leather replaceable back cover for 950 XL from Mozo Accessories to go with me clear case. Customized phone is so awesome!

Should be strong and protected and very awesome custom looking phone.

I can't remember if I already posted this on here or not, but I was in a motorcycle accident 2 years ago and my iPhone5 was expelled from my front pocket at 40mph and skidded across the pavement. A good Samaritan grabbed it for me and gave it to the paramedics. I'm still using the phone to this day, not a scratch on it... though the battery is completely done and the phone randomly shuts off.

I remember those old clamshell flip phones external displays used to get pretty scuffed up, but that was before they started using materials like Gorilla Glass. I've never seen a smartphone with a scratched or scuffed screen. Smashed? Yeah. But not scratched.

Long story short, I think screen protectors ruin the intended touch experience and look of the device, so I don't use them. On that same note, screen protector technology has come quite a long way over the years and they're much better and clearer now than they used to be. The one the AT&T store put on my fathers iPhone6S is hardly noticeable, and is crystal clear.

I always get the matte/anti-glare cheap plastic film screen protectors. I really don't know how much 'protection' they provide, and for the cost, I'm willing to take the gamble. I use them mostly because I find glossy screens intolerable to look at and I find if your finger has even the slightest bit of moisture (including day to day sweat and body oil) that it doesn't smoothly glide on the touchscreen. I find the matte screens are much easier to work with. I have noticed when I've replaced some screen protectors that they do have minor scratches (nearly invisible). Personally I think it's worth the $1 to keep my device looking like the day it came off the factory line.

did it properly seal on the edges when you installed it?
