Liquid Glass Protector
Anyone try using Liquid Glass Protector and one of these Onyx devices or any ereading device? I'm thinking of putting it on my Nova Pro.

100% waste of money. You do not need a screen protector on a Reader. You use a cover that protects the screen when you aren't using it.

In a lot of cases your advice is correct but not in this case. I've used ereaders for a long time. My Lifebook Mars screen broke so I'm going to try something different with my Nova Pro. So if it gives 5% more chance of survivability then I'll waste my money on it. ALSO with this device Onyx makes it very clear to use the protector that comes with it. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.


So I'll redefine the question for anyone else that's going to offer advice:
So I'm really only looking for advice regarding the question about liquid protectors vs standard screen protectors. I'm thinking of using the liquid glass then putting the standard protector that came with it over that. Maybe it adds a little more protection TO THIS GLASS SCREEN.

Only thing I've found that mentions ereaders.

You might want a screen protector if your pen nibs scratch the screen, but I wouldn't use one to try to protect the screen from breaking. The fragile glass substrates are on the other side of the eink film (i.e. under your display) and are usually broken by twisting or bending the device. Plastic substrates don't need any extra protection at all since they aren't fragile.

Für Nova Pro only a cover can help.
It is a glass screen - same as your broken Likebook Mars.

You sure the Lifebook Mars is glass?

Quote:
The Likebook Mars features a 7.8 inch E Ink Carta touchscreen display with a resolution of 1782×1448 and 300 PPI. The screen has a small dip where the screen meets the bezel, since it is not using a glass based display, which would increase the price.

7.8" eInk Carta Displays are only glass layer, 10.3" are only flexible layer, 13.3" are either flexible or glass.
7.8 can easily break, 10.3 can be scratched.
13.3 glass can break; 13.3 flexible can be scratched, and only on flexible layers does a protective film make sense.

People seem to be confusing having a glass substrate with having a glass cover.

The substrate goes under the E-Ink film. It is not visible. The only way to tell if an E-Ink screen has a glass or plastic substrate is to check the specifications.

The cover goes over the E-Ink screen, and is used to provide a level front to the device, along with touch screen and light guides. An example is the Kindle Oasis.

The Basic Kindle has no glass in front of the E-Ink screen, but still has a glass substrate.

From what I understand, the Nova Pro and the Note Pro employ a glass screen on top to prevent scratching by the stylus as was occurring on the original Note with the flexible plastic screen and which did not have a frontlight.

Quote:
The latest Boox models Onyx Boox Note Pro and Onyx Boox Nova Pro adopt the glass-based screen cover on a Mobius display, and it is not necessary to apply screen protector on them.

Thats funny - eInk doesnt poduce a 7,8" Mobius display.
Likebook Mars and Onyx Nova Pro have the same display module

@Guns4Hire as has been said, the part of the screen that can break is the glass substrate and that's behind the screen. A glass screen protector or any screen protector will not protect the glass substrate. So buying a screen protector won't d anything useful and will only be a waste of money and it can cause clarity issues sometimes.

It had bad experiences with Likebook Mars, but it has the same screen as its new Onyx Nova Pro and wants to protect it.
But it doesn't help with a film that is stuck to the screen, just a cover

Well that's how I always felt regarding protective screens when it came to ereaders. But my Mars was the most fragile (in my mind) of all that I've owned. Was thinking it might make I a tiny bit more protected but based on the responses I guess not.

Cheers.

Sorry, but it won't be any more protected given that the glass substrate in under the screen.
