UPDATED:
Recently many members has posted that they have received these mercury protectors cut short of about 1-2mm and does not have the curved edges, I have personally seen these, and the package looks identical, it is confirmed that these are all authentic, the old version has the curved edges, new version are cut short.
What evers Mercury decisions was, they still have the sticker showing the curved foaming edges.
I would also suggest you contact the seller and ask them to confirm the actual protector are curved, and not based on the sticker.
I just purchased the lime green one for the fun of it, here is a simple review of it.
Before I start, the shop has put this protector on a few phone and has given me a warning about the curve of the protector, with this protector it will fit best with korean version of the S3 or a made in korea unit, as the glass are made in many countries the curve edge of the glass may vary due to specification, this isn't to say that you won't get a perfect fit on a international version or US version.
With the lime green protector that i have purchased, there are cut out for the sensor, camera, home button and the ear piece, the cut out are precise to about 0.2mm which is very good, the curves of the protector is also very good, and does goes right upto the edge of the metal bezel by 0.5mm which is considered one of the best edge to edge coverage.
The actual screen protector is a anti glare and matt finished, and is varly clear.
Does the bullkin have any rainbowing? Im hoping they popup on eBay as Im not a fan of matte protectors.

Yes they do, you can see the rainbow effect when the screen is turned off, or on a black screen.

Guess I should have read the review a little better, just noticed that you had already mentioned. Is it pretty bad or only only noticeable at extreme angles?

I shall continue my hunt for one then. I can deal with that. Not a fan of this Pebble Purple Samsung went with.
That's fantastic. I guess I'll check and see if I can get the red Bulkin one.
Does the black have a metallic finish like the Mercury brand?
Sorry if it was mentioned, didn't read the whole review
Edit: it is a solid color, thanks
A great review/overview, thanks - its a real shame that it's so difficult to find both of these (fully curved and fitting) online anywhere...
One question, just curious - you mention that you can get 4 Bullkin protectors for the price of 1 Mercury - what was the price of both protectors? (mercury seem to be around the $10 USD mark on ebay...)

The price of my mercury was USD 11.5, I know on ebay the prices has dropped a little, but those on ebay, you're not sure if you will get the flat one or curved one, But for me, I buy direct from a local store, so I see the item before I make the purchase, the extra cost is worth it, if i'm sure to get the proper curved screen protector.
These bullkin only cost approximate USD 2.5 which are wholesale price.
first post updated with more information.
Can't wait to see what the reviews are going to be like. They look pretty nice!

First thing. I envy you. I had my cousin in korea send me a mercury from there and still same issue with the gap. Second, have you seen these screen protectors in china? I've asked my cousin about them but she hasnt seen them in stores.

I would love to get these if you've seen them with full coverage.

I've also seen the mercury in china, all short without curved edge, wholesale price at less than USD 4, and no, i haven't seen the bulletproof one's yet, maybe they are just new boys on the street, may be later on.

rlatjs17 I ordered one of those glasszone protectors, I'll post about it when i get it in my own thread.
those are nice! i just ordered my pb sgs3 and will probably buy one of theses. OP, sorry if i missed it in the FP but which one did you like more? thanks for your review
So the real Mercury ones have almost full coverage with curved screen if I have understand it well?
I'm looking for one with full coverage because like with the SGP I would have an ugly gap between my bumper and the glass protector then.
Looks promising, but I keep buying screenprotectors these days in the search for a good one

Hey guys!
I just receive my screen protector today that I got off ebay. Just want to warn you guys how bad the quality is!
I always buy screen protector off ebay since they are cheap and good. I usually buy from seller that are in Hong Kong or China cuz they are the cheapest and the quality is not bad!
But with the galaxy note, I bought from this seller from Germany..cuz it was cheapest and I figure, hey its germany, couldn't be that bad. Afterall they are known for techy stuff? lol
anyway, its really bad quality. The screen protector film is VERY filmsy..pardon the pun. Its really soft making it almost impossible to squeeze out the bubble.
also when i tried to squeeze the bubble with a credit card, the screen protector is scratch up already =.=" this is the worst film protector i have bought and I bought my fair share of film protectors lol
I am new user...can't post the ebay link?! the seller name is protectionfilms24....
I just re-bought some screen protector from a Hong Kong seller...hopefully it will be better!!
I bought Some from germany too from ebay, But it was crap. It said in the description is was ultra thin or something like that, should of payed attention. Bought a sixpack from china, they are perfect not even 1 buble after applying. The other foil had 30 bubbles ...

i bought the germany ones, but was able to apply it without any bubbles. the trick is you use a credit card, but then wrap the card in gladwrap or anything plasticky. then you just use the card to press down across the entire width of the screen, and use enough force to firmly spread the screen protector across the screen.
im still waiting for the antiglare ones i ordered from ebay though, so the only other screen protectors i can compare them to are the ones i cut myself.
I ordered a pdair ultra clear screen protector and am very pleased with out. It had a backing which you remove inorder to stick it to the screen.After it is stuck on you remove another protective film to reveal the actual screen protector itself. So basically the screen protector has two layers which you have to remove. This ensures that the screen protector is not damaged when you apply it. Hope that made slme sense?
Regarding screen protectors, some people are selling crap on Ebay, but, let's be clear!: You can't expect miracles if price is lower than X (put here a minimum logical figure in your local currency...)
I think we all have had tempted to buy on Ebay some cheap protectors "just to check" "because they are a bargain" "who knows"....
Quality has a price anywhere....
i ordered the same one, i had the seller refund me the money even if it was only a couple bucks
I bought 10 for 5.90 and i was very very suprised how good they are. Very smooth and can hardly tell they are there. I got a link on the screen protectors thread. Not all cheap ones are rubbish. I normally used martin fields before but these are better. I can put a link on here if you want to try those?

Do the protectors have cut outs for buttons etc, it's not apparent from the pics. Also, how did you apply them? I normally buy cheap ones off ebay and apply them with a tiny bit of fairy liquid and water and they go on perfectly, but some don't go on that way.
It has a cut out for the home button and speaker at the top to the front cam. These are dry apply so no water or anything needed. I use a credit card to apply and have fitted 4 of these on friends notes and there are no bubbles at all. Just make sure screen is clean

I'm not experienced in screen protectors.. but I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130600576726?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
and the screen protector that came with it seems quite good to me.. also its the first one I've put on that hasn't bubbled at all...
like sticker，not screen protector
I ordered an @folix protector off Amazon. They stuffed up the first batch because they were cut wrong but the second ones they sent are excellent. They are made in Germany and are quite a thick film. Top quality! Just make sure your glass is perfectly clean before applying.
I came across this tempered glass screen protector from Orzly on Amazon UK. It costs less than £6 delivered.
Edit - price has now gone up
http://amzn.to/19VMPso
Orzly accessories get pretty good reviews and their tempered glass screen protector for the Nexus 5 was generally recommended on XDA before the price went up. Definitely worth a try at this price.
Looks like Nillkin now do one for £9.99 delivered. I have a Nillkin tempered glass protector on my Nexus 5 and it's great

Did you check ebay?
Doesn't that tempered glass screen protector defeat the purpose of the glass screen and a screen protector? I would think by doubling the screen's thickness (essentially), you'd be making it harder thus easier to break on a drop. As for scratching, I'm not sure why people are so worried, it's Gorilla Glass 3. Having owned several GG products, it is very very herd to scratch the screen unless you plan on carrying sharp stones with your phone in your pocket while you are doing jumping jacks.

The tempered glass has a silicone adhesive on the backside of it that also acts as a buffer. And direct impacts that would normally break the screen are completely absorbed by the glass protector and it breaks instead. PET or other plastic screen protectors only prevent scratches. I would rather replace a 10-15$ screen protector than a 100$ screen.
Anyone knows a seller who ships to Europe?
Edit; How about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-3mm-Premi...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item54037fc8a0
Got mine today, ordered before the amazon price went up... Ive never used a glass screen protector before and didn't realise how bad plastic ones are.
It's a perfect fit, other that one spec of dust about 2mm from the edge you'd never know there was a screen protector on!
No camera or senior holes, just a speaker hole, but everything seems to work just fine.

I've been treating my moto g like a baby and having it as sole item in my pocket and it has micro scratches that you can see in bright sunlight. I've also seen a galaxy note 3 (gorilla glass 3) from a Samsung rep with an awfully scratched screen (admittedly in his pocket with keys)

I've written a review which should be up on Amazon within 48h. Basically I'll never buy another plastic screen protector again, this glass one is great for £9.99.
The clarity is fantastic, the feel is better than the original (imo) and the only disadvantage is the lack of cut outs for the camera.
Its also really easy to use swype or other similar keybaords now because my thumb doesn't stick.
I have found this Flexible Glass that might be intersted but it is a little expensive.
http://swiss-case.com/collections/by-device/moto-g/truglass-flexible-glass-for-moto-g.html
Anyone have any links to the Orzly one that has stock/is not being sold at an extortionate rate? Not willing to may £13 when I know it was available for £6 in the past.
Got the glass one in from hong Kong. Came extremely well packed and got it installed in about a minute.
It fits the phone perfectly and feels much better than then plastic protector that I had on the phone before hand. I am still trying to decide if it has made the touch screen less responsive, but I believe that it is more than worth it.
Any additional questions just let me know.

anti explosion?
Yes,explosion! See if you're in an explosion don't worry! You might be dead, but your phone's screen won't have a scratch XD
At this price, you'd probably be better off getting the OEM protector from OP (which is only $5, if I remember correctly).

Depends on preference. PET vs tempered glass.
I am not a huge fan of tempered glass protectors, I have seen them break screens underneath the glass without breaking the glass. They can do more harm than good.

Man, 2 for £6.99 is really cheap. Anyone had any experience with the brand?
All I could find is this.
EDIT: Going up in price. Now £8.99
at ebay seems that one nillkin case appeared!
i bought the case and also the anti-explosion screen protector! (the case has one nillkin screen protector but not the tempered.)
Just get the Original Nillkin Tempered Glass Screen Protector for my oneplus one from aliexpress.com. Just want use it to protect my phone from dust, scratching. Nice product.
Would you buy the Nillkin?
http://www.ebay.de/itm/321428374151?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Or the Orzly?
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00KQKATH8/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
Nillkin or Orzly, which can you recommend? (I only had exim (now nexxaScreen) and dipos till now).
I have the Nillkin. Feels a bit lower quality than a high end Spigen one. The transmission isn't great. you can visually tell there's something between the screen and your eyes.
i would go with orzly for sure
I totaly agree with the nilken one being cheap. I ordered it from aliexpress and it arrived broken. i ordered it from ebay and then returned it as it was square edged and looked quite universal. Did a google search and came across a youtube link with the orzly video (type in orzly one plus one glass screen) and then found it on amazon. The packaging, the manual and everything about it looked the same as a spigen one and it looked like its from the same factory
at $14.99 from amazon.com i was chuffed to bits with it. I also brought a orzly one plus one case as well.
Anyway the video on youtube does a good job in showing it of and i hope this post answers your questions and helps.

A third on the nilken... the window for the ffc and ear speaker is a slot going all the way across from the right side of the speaker to the left side of the ffc port. in between, there's a gap that doesn't need to be there. I'll try the Orzly when the time comes to replace it.
Ordered the Nillkin Tempered Glass Protector too - for me it's working fine since two weeks. Never had such a good screen protector. If you can wait the two weeks shipment from Hongkong (to Germany), you can't go wrong with it. And: it's only around ten dollars!
0.2 mm something new?
Anyone got a feedback or experience about new 0.2 mm tempered glass?
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...reen-Protector-for-One-Plus-1/1963220626.html
I mean, if you take Nillkin or Orzly, etc. they are all 0.3 mm..... and if you look at the pictures in the ali listing, the difference in thickness could be a real deal breaker...

I've seen couple of them but they're from china not hongkong.
So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^
Out of stock still.
Out of stock and also not by Xtremeguard. $39.99 before "discount"? That's a joke.
If you're in the US you can buy it for $6.99 all the time off of ebay. Yes, slightly more expensive than their 90% off group of 2, but just shows you the ridiculous price Xtremeguard is normally charging for a product that isn't even theirs.

Did yours come in a generic iphone packaging? I was really confused. I thought they sent me the wrong product. I opened it and it does look like it's supposed to but it was just really weird.
Also, if anyone tried, how easy is it to peel off?
I'm using the xtremeguard one right now. Obviously didn't pay 40 bucks for it. Honestly it's my favorite accessory for my phone. The glass feels a bit beveled and it reminds me if the edged on the nexus 4, how they used to be so smooth. I'm sure all the tempered glass protectors feel like this but this is the one I have.

Hmm, interesting. The packaging was completely different for me. Yours looks like the actual packaging from the ebay page. Mine Also says USA126 on it, but it's some generic packaging with an iphone on the front. However, inside everything looks the same as what you got. The pad, protector, cloth, and that same blue sticker. I put on the protector yesterday and so far I do like it a lot. Also, I'm not sure if the sticker was meant for this, but instead of wiping it down with the alcohol pad, I used the sticker to pick up all of the dust before applying the protector and it worked extremely well.
Still out of stock. Might hit up that ebay screen protector.
Does the eBay protector cover side to side or is it rounded off the corners so cases don't pick it up. How's the adhesive on it? Any webbing? Does it stick fully? These eBay protectors aren't always the best. How about the oleophobic coating?

The edges appear to be rounded, they haven't picked up at all with my case. The adhesive is great, no webbing, and it adhered fully. I cleaned the phone VERY well, took off the backing from the screen protector, and gently placed it on the phone. I was surprised that I didn't have to press hard to make it seal, or do the binder clip thing that other people have talked about. I'm very happy with mine, and for $6 it's the best screen protector I have ever bought.
This makes me wish I hadn't bought my full price spigen glasTr. There's no way it's 4 times as good as this.
So far I'm happy with the 6 dollar one I bought. It came in wrong packaging, but the product itself seems fine. I use the nexus 4 replica case and it fits very well. I think I had a bit of spiderwebbing but I pressed on it with my finger and it went away. I did notice a very tiny speck of dust I must have must underneath but its not always visible even though I know where it is. There's seems to be a very small scratch on the bottom and top corner. I'm not sure if that's something underneath but again, it's hardly visible and it's not on the screen part so I don't mind.

It's not bad, I've only had it since May but so far no chips and fits great with both the slim armor and the acase superleggra . Fingerprints do show but they are easy to clean. I forget it's there, it's a ton better than any plastic screen protector and spigens customer support is great. When I installed the first one a corner didn't adhere, not sure if it was my fault but spigen sent me a new one free of charge.

Wow It was really kind of then to send you a replacement for free! Is the GLAS.tR case friendly? I've already ordered a Spigen Ultra Fit case from eBay, and it's on the way, I just wanna make sure that it's going to fit properly.

So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^

They now have them back in stock and you can use code Summer85 to get 85% off.
This brings it down to 6.00
Just used Mega90off2 and works! You need to add two items in the cart. I put in a dry install screen protector 5.99 and the spartan for 49.99. With 90% off, the order came to 5.60 shipped. For a screen protector AND tempered glass protector. Even if the tempered glass sucks like most do, I have a screen protector as back up lol.
Finally went live on Amazon. $6.99 for a pack of 4. These are my favorite mainstream screen protectors. My favorite isn't sold for many phones. Power support makes one helluva slippery screen protector and they are more scratch resistant than these. But they usually cost 2 for $20-25, or $15 if you get them on sale but as me times before power support isn't sold for many phones. So I get the Korean made Ringke and use rain x to add some slip to it and rain beads off faster to boot.
Does it fully cover the glass?
I don't know yet. From pictures looks like it covers more than the screen, but not all the way to the curved edges. And of course cut out for ffc and the sensors next to it. I'm buying 2 packs anyways. These are probably the best bet for now.
Please post pictures, I have gone through different screen protectors orders and so far none has worked, either leaving the protector off in the curved part or leaving a huge gap unprotected.
PS: don't buy the Fosmon
i just bought the tempered glass screen protector from ringke through amazon, the quality is really bad. The size doesn't fit at all, bubble on both sides and top. it is really bad design.

if you had seen the review made by someone in amazon you would have seen that he put 1 star and specified why >>> reason, it leaves develop halos on the edges. That's why i bought one that has no review whatsoever, i bought it on ebay though.

That review was put up less than a few hours ago.
I'm pretty sure if a company comes out with a tempered glass protector that conforms to the edges we are going to have pay a premium. Probably upwards of $30 or more. I might get the Ringke glass anyways to try. Edge lift only bothers me a little bit. I would like to try dingle's brand anyways and see the quality of glass. How slippery it is and if it is real glass or that fake plastic ****. I know probably after a week or so I'd pull it off after the dust that gets under the edges drive me crazy but it's worth it to try ringke's quality on glass anyways. I know their film is pretty good.

aaa i see i see, sorry about that lol. It was been talked in the other tempered glass thread and i only saw the review there when i pressed the link, on the other hand , it is true i didn't see the date. . I doubt that anyone will get a tempered glass that covers the whole screen, that's why the one i bought only covers just a little more from the second screen, and just before it reaches the lg logo in the bottom, and on the edges it only reaches up to where the actual display ends , maybe a bit more. At least that is what i see, but i wont be able to try it U_U for now.
