Does the gap between the screen and screen protector create and issues in use?

Yes.. I have noticed the screen is not as responsive around the edges of the phone. I have friends with other style Otterboxs and they say they don't seem to have that issue. It could be my phone. I haven't used it with out a case and this is the only case I bought when I purchased the iphone5. I really don't have any comparisons to give.

I have had no issues. The case for the iPhone 4 had a very tiny gap that made finger contact seem cushioned. The case for the 5 is flush on the screen.

Not really, it is just annoying when sometimes you are in a rush to type something or snap a picture for example. The gap cause delay and sometimes you need to touch the screen harder than normal.

I have not noticed any issue at all. I actually have a screen protector on my phone as well that I applied while waiting for my otter and was worried it would effect the touch screen but I honestly have had no issue either with games or typing. I would recommend the defender to any1. My only issue is that I need a different color now that I bought a black and red Harley, lol

I don't have that problem but I had a screen protector on my phone when I put this case on, so now I have a screen protector under this case so maybe that's why I don't have that problem.

I've never had any problem with using the full width of the screen with this case, so I'd say, no, it doesn't interfere at all, and the top and bottom have no wraparound. It's a well-made, well-fitted case and holster, and I think almost all buyers would be happy with it...as long as you don't mind it being opaque black, not see-through. If you have a stock Moto X, then that part is no problem! Accessing the edge of the screen is more of a challenge with the clear flex-cases, though you can just push the edge aside with your finger, when dragging to the edge of the screen.

I cannot rid the air bubbles. I've taken it off and cleaned several times but still has bubbles. There's space between the screen and screen savor. I surely cannot be the only one with this problem. I'd cut out the protector if it didn't ruin the case but it would. Help!

I had such a hard time putting the screen protector on that I just gave up. I told the seller about the difficulty and they said they would send me another one but as of yet I have not gotten it. But to answer your question, I am debating about not using for the exact reason you are concerned about. I do think it may affect the HD clarity but I can't say that as fact - just using my common sense... it is a matte screen - it will have some affect, I'm not just sure how much. Hope this helps some.

I am happy with the case friendly version I bought, although when I received my case I realized that either shield would've been fine. Case friendly covers the screen, but not the entire glass. It has a narrow gap (3-5 mm?) around the perimeter so that it won't interfere with your case. However the shield is thin enough that I can't imagine even the full version causing problems with a case. The case friendly version doesn't fully surround the buttons at the bottom.

It absolutely works. There is about a millimeter between the edge of the screen protector and the edge of the phone the whole way around, so there are no conflicts. Works great.

I do not use the screen protector that comes with the case, but I do have my own (sort of sticky---gummy, maybe) screen protector, which might keep the sides down (if indeed you are talking about the rubber portions on the sides of the screen. Otherwise, yes, it might be a little looser than average. I would have to see a picture.

It's a lie there is the actual bezel which is 2mm and then there is another black gap about 10mm covered by the glass of the screen. so in total you will have a 20mm gap between your screens. It is ridiculous to be honest. I uses it for my workstations so it doesn't bother me very much but for gaming it is a big black gap in front of your eyes.

Not on my case. I bought 5 of these protectors (for myself and for my co-workers) and I have not experience this problem with anyone.

Yes, it does not overlap the screen. It just comes right to the edge of it.

I've had mine so long, (Summer 2013) I need to order a new one. As for issues - NONE. It has no effect on the screen.

It all depends on your case, but theres about a millimeter or less of space around the actual display plain. Unless you have a rugged case that encases into the display pane (which most cases dont), you should be fine if you applied correctly. Remember you can always reposition the screen protector when its wet to get it perfectly set all around.

Hi Cappy! This specific listing is for our regular screen protector for the Galaxy S4. There should be no gap between the frame and the shield.

The additional screen protector will eventually cause issues. It is not needed.

You can and I did. I don't care for the somewhat cloudy and grippy feel of the integrated screen protector. I prefer tempered glass screens because they feel just like the phone glass. I removed the screen protector with no tools by getting one corner started, then worked my way around. The plastic shell fits snugly to the phone's frame with no noticeable gap. Be advised that when you remove the integrated protector you are giving up some water resistance, though that's a marginal risk as the case is not waterproof anyway. Hope this helps someone.

You're using the screen protector with it right? Because not using it allows the case to become loose and not snug fit. If you are using it then just make sure you push down really hard on the edges to make sure its clipped in correctly.
