i-blason tempered glass.

Followed by SGP ultra crystal

I bought 3 different types in total. illumishield gives me 0 problem.

+1 on Illumishield.

XtremeGuard on mine, went on almost flawlessly for a wet install. Really great protection, great prices, I even have one on my DNA!

Is the illumishield better than the spigen? And Tempered glass is it really worth it?

zagg has wet apply projectors for us now. they are the best I have used so far. I have an I blason on the way to try out and I'm using the horrible Asus protector right now. :-\ tempted to put a zagg on top of an iblason haha
edit: In a moment of mental incapacity I had installed the Asus protector improperly so I should give it more credit though mine did come with a dented edge and these are not my preferred style they are probably OK for most people.

1st had xtreme full body protection, which was great especially for the cheap price.
now im using the i-blason tempered glass which i love.

Zaggs are alright and easy to install.

Is the iblason tempered glass really worth the 20$ plus shipping?

I'm using the SUPCASE Ultra Clear Series and it is such a tight fit on the tablet you wouldn't even know it was there (ZERO room for error when aligning, but very forgiving on re-positioning too). The only thing that makes it stand out is the single cutout for the front camera. Two pack on Amazon was around 10$ with free prime 2 day shipping. Best deal I've found
Edit: From reading the packaging, they claim that the screen protector is a tight 0.3mm fit on the tablet.

for me yes it is, i love tempered glass screen protectors. i have one for my note 2 as well.
if you have used other screen protectors, like zagg/ect, and like them, it might not be worth it to you. ive never liked zagg/ect over tempered glass protectors.
luckily i got mine for $20 shipped($15+$5), so i saved $5 at least before they raised the price.

The i-blason is definitely worth it. You get the 1 year warranty against pretty much anything including scratches and bubbles. I already had to use it due to a spot on my protector that refuses to lay flat on my screen. I just sent them a picture of the area and they sent a replacement out straight away. Great customer service.

I hate wet apply screen protectors. They always have a tacky feel and they are never flawless.
I'm using the Official Asus ones and they're nice but they must have some issues at the factory. I've been through 2 now and both have had dents that cause it to raise and bubble. My second one is at the bottom and small, so Im keeping it.
The Spigen is very high quality and considered the best. Amazon had these for $12 which is a steal. I never used the glass ones but I'd imagine they would be closer to a natural feel compared to plastic ones.
I prefer the Matte ones myself. The only matte one that seemed like quality is the Official Asus ones. I bought another brand of Mattes (3pack) that have 3 cutouts and reportedly horrible from Amazon for super cheap ($3 shipped) to use as backup.
I would agree with post #2. The Supcase SP looked very nice too.
Use the hinge method when installing quality protectors because the cut leaves no room for error. I use painters tape on the sides for a hinge. Rip and squeegee.

I've used Spigen Ultra Clear on my old Galaxy S2 and my family's Galaxy S4s. I use Rearth Ringbo Ultra Clear on my old Nexus 7, Nexus 4, and new Nexus 7. I don't really much of a difference (or feel) between both brands. The Rearth one gives you 3 for about $5 on Amazon. Pretty cheap, works just as great, and it doesn't leave a residue like some other cheap brands.
EDIT: Just wanted to point out, both Spigen and Rearth SP has a hardness of 3H. Getting scratches on both will be pretty normal due to the hardness of the material. Unavoidable, but better that than your actual glass (which I think has a hardness of 8H).

Is iblason the only company right now that makes a tempered glass screen protector for the new nexus 7? Just wondering since shipping it to Canada is like 40$ all together and i don't think its worth it

I use Ghost Armor on all of my devices! They haven't been available for the N7 FHD, but I checked tonight and they finally are! Ordered tonight, so I should receive it next week. Can't wait!! They are tyne best option in my opinion!!

Anti-glare screen protector

Anyone know where to find an anti-glare screen protector for the tmo GS2?
Amazon or eBay man

I bought this one from newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0UW07K3282
Only problem is that the screen will become very blurry and unclear, The film itself is not bad, very easy to apply.
I since replaced it with a Realook and didn't look back. I highly recommend Realook.

Anybody using a Nushield DayVue protector?
I got one of these for a g-tablet and it made it actually readable in sunlight. Been thinking about one for my S2. They don't make a pre-cut for our S2s, but there's a 5" kit for around $15 (and if I don't like the fit, then it's my own fault).
Meh - just looked at the dimensions for that 5" kit - it'll only cover the active screen area, not the softbuttoons or up over the t-mob logo.
Just ordered the steinheil ultra fine which is supposed to be anti glare and anti fingerprint. Will let you know how it turns out. It's supposed to be not as clear as steinheil ultra clear but i decided it was more important to me than the way my screen looks...

XtremeGuard is my favorite. Very cheap on Ebay, and the best quality I have found.

What about Ghost Armor? It not only strengthens the screen (not that it needs it because the GSII has gorilla glass) but it also repairs any scratches that have been on the screen previously. It also vastly improves the antiglare. It will probably be around $15 for just the screen.
Just received and applied the steinheil ultra fine. It is definitely anti glare and anti finger print but not clear as most I've used. It's matted so it looks like a haze is on the screen. For me i like the anti finger print more than the clarity. Not sticky feel like zagg, it is a hard plastic protector so it's smooth for use with Swype. I like it but not for everybody... Perfect fit. I'm happy.

I feel ya but being a greasy Italian like me I think you could understand the anti fingerprint benefit. Haha.
I use the Anti Glare from RND Power Solutions. Honestly, I just bought the cheapest anti glare I could find on Amazon. It was $5.99 for a 3 pack and was Prime eligible.
My favorite part? On the back of the package it says "Anti Dirty dirt".
But I agree about the finger prints. They drive me nuts. I hate having to carry a cloth around with me EVERYWHERE.

Screen protector

I got my gnex for a quite time now and finally it got scratch. It's not big one, but it annoys me. Now I'm in for a screen protector. Since I dont knowanything about them, can you recommend me some good ones that has good features like sun light reflect, no fingerprints, unoticable, etc. (I dunno, those kind of stuff). and if possible link on ebay
cheers
I use the skinomi tech skin.

I'm going to purchase this because you said it's a good one! Well no but seriously, I'm going to look around some more so if anyone knows any protectors that can back it up I'll take a look. But as it stands, I'll probably be buying this one
I bought an awesome pack of three on Amazon when I first got my GNex, let me see if I can find them in my purchase history.
They're anti-glare, and you can't see your fingerprints because they have a matte finish.

My bad. I confused the names of the screen protector and cover. My screen protector is the Steinheil Ultra Crystal. Its not cheap, but I can't tell the difference between it and glass.

I would recommend all screen protectors by SGP
They're way more expensive, but in my opinion it's worth (Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic , would be a good choice)
Also for more protection than just a piece of plastic, i use the fantom glass screen protector which is also pretty nice.

+1 for this. I have used several other screen protectors (ZAGG, Spigen, Clarivue and a couple of others), and this one, while not the easiest to get on, works great. Great feel and I like the way the screen looks when it is on. Because it is a matte protector, it is not invisible, but no real orange peel and it is not sticky at all - great finger feel on the screen! And cheap as well!
I hated any screen protector that I put on my Galaxy Nexus, after buying it I put on an Xtremeguard wet apply full body, after 4 months, I took it of.
Screen protectors suck and reduce the usability on the phones at times, some of them are pretty sticky or not as slippery and smooth as the glass.
PIE from AOSPA has never been so easily, I still use a case, but I bought my phone to actually use it, and I've been affecting my usability by babying it. It'll be so worth it unless you're really that paranoid about a scratch here and there.
No screen protector doesn't work for me. I work in a machine shop and metal chips find their way in my pockets daily. I prefer the non anti-glare 3 pack from Walmart or target. I forget the brand but they're cheap enough and don't interfere with usability.

I use HTC's official screen protector and it works pretty good for me!
The military grade tech armor screen protector. I got it off amazon for a very good price. I like this because it protects the screen, it diminishes finger print very very well and on top of that, it totally preserves the screen quality. Bought it for my nexus 7 and totally love it. Haven't changed it and it still just as good. Lifetime limited warranty. # I am not a sponsor lol

I'm using zagg screen protector aka invisible shield
I picked up a pack of 3 from amazon made by Tech Armor. Link
Pros:
- No fingerprints whatsoever
- Very minimal discoloration
- Finger slides like on paper
Cons:
- Display loses sharpness
- Few mm short of covering length of screen
They make a matte and clear version of the screen. It's a fine protector for me since I prefer the papery feel, but not everyone like clarity trade off.
I am using the nillkin protector came with my nillkin case, it's very good and my friend did not even notice I have protector on. You can buy separate ones off eBay for a cheap price.

I use an Invisibleshield from Zagg. It works very nice but I've only had it on 2 days and I believe it takes longer to completely cure. So I'll wait on that to report how the screen quality issues affected but even now it's not bad at all; barely even noticeable

I use this screen protector too and I got the matte version instead of the clear one b/c I like the papery feel/sound. And I am impressed with the quality and the price. So far, it's been protecting my screen very well, but I did notice that I have to tap my capacitive buttons two or three times on occasions, but I'm not sure if it's due to the screen protector alone since I placed the screen protector on it as soon as I got my phone.
I'm hoping there will be spigen ultra optic..there's only ultra crystal right now. My experience on note 2 is really good. Antifingerprint while maintaining screen clarity
Glass, but the effect is not good, may be because I don't know how to stick it

It's not really your protector: it's probably the flawed kernel that got shipped out. Sprint released an update that fixed things, but it's not worked its way into custom ROMs.
+1 for the matte amFilms though. Great feel and price. I slapped one on my Galaxy Nexus as well just because (if you'd believe it, it's a perfect fit for the screen).

I got my phone from T-mobile though. Does T-mobile have the same problem too?
I use cheap ones off ebay... buy a handful from 2-4 sellers, find one you like and then re-order 10 or 20 more and just change them out once a month or so... screen protectors should not be kept on the phone for a year or more, except maybe glass (Haven't tried any glass yet)
You can probably get a years+ worth of decent protectors for the price of one Zagg at bestbuy... or less!

Was considering the tR SLIM, but decided it's too expensive to spend on one screen protector. The plastic ones work fine, the one I've got on my current phone has been perfect, no air bubbles or anything, so I think I'll stick with one of those.
I'm in the UK though, and the only Spigen plastic screen protector on Amazon or eBay I can find is the Crystal one, not Ultra Crystal or Steinheil or whatever it's called. Does anyone know what the difference is? Also has anyone in the UK got a recommendation for a plastic screen protector for the N5 from a known brand, not one of the cheap eBay ones?

Ultra-Crystal Steinheil from Spigen since it came with the case from Spigen I got off Amazon. I'll share my thoughts once I get it, it's due to come in the same day as my phone(which should be September 7th).
I have the ultra clear on my n4 and had it on my gs3. I love them, and have already ordered the ultra for my n5.
I am thinking about a glas.t though.

Not too long ago, Stack Social did a group buy of sorts for the nee iphone 5.
The deal was for:
iPhone 5S / 5 Case Tough Armor Protection Kit
FOR PROTECTION KIT 1
Screen Protector GLAS.t Slim - $29.99
FOR PROTECTION KIT 2
Screen Protector Steinheil [Ultra Crystal] - $13.99
Select Color
Smooth Black
All for the amazingly low price of $36.99
This would be great if they could do the same for the Nexus 5. I really like that GLAS.t.R and would love it on the N5. I ride a lot on my bike and stuff it in the back pocket of my jersey as well as putting the phones i have in my pocket. I dont want the screen scratched. I dont care how good Gorilla Glass 3 is, I know through daily use I'm sure I would end up scratching it.
I've been using Nexus 4 w/o a protector since the beginning, zero scratches here.
I keep my phone in a leather pouch.

You don't buy screen protectors for scratch protection as much as you do for minimizing the visibility of fingerprints. The N4 screen requires constant cleaning without it.

I have noticed that screen protectors do help this more than one might assume.
Do these come with a cut out for the light sensor on the right? I bought some cheap ones for my N4 and I had to cut the corner off for the sensor to work properly.
I orderd the glastr tempered glass protector. I have one on my Note 3, and it makes the screen feel like there is nothing on it (just as smooth as regular glass screen) whereas a plastic protecter is never a smooth.
I've used the Xtremeguard on 3 of my devices. It is a wet-application protector. I've found them to be quite good!
Currently, you get 80% off when you use the SPOOK80 coupon code on their website.
Just ordered the Spigen SGP Glas.tr screen protector.
I'm definitely, eventually, going to get the GLAS.tR SLIM Premium Tempered Glass screen protector. Once it goes on sale for less than $30, that is
Is it really worth it to spend $30 for a glass screen protector or is this just for a peace of mind?

No finger drag from friction, oleophobic coating, and actual impact protection. I've never understood the mentality of, "Hey, I'm not going to spend more than $3 to protect the glass screen of this $400-800 device! That's too damned much!"

Higher-rated hardness for scratch resistance and rounded edges on the protector itself to make it fit better with cases.

Glas.tR has rounded edges for a better feel on the device better impact dissipation both are rated at 8-9h hardness. The Glas.tR is also about 0.16mm thicker than the Glas.t so it will marginally make your device heavier otherwise the two are the same.
more information on the Spigen website. personally i'm going to wait til i see a review on one over the other but right now im leaning towards the Glas.tR
hope this helps.

Haven't really seen too much on Regular Screen Protectors

Greetings all.. I have searched a bit for a normal screen protector that's quality but all I find is glass.
I've never been a fan of glass screen protectors.
Before I would always buy spigen ultra crystal sp but they don't have any for the opo.
I found http://www.evolutivelabs.com/products/oneplus-one but $25 is crazy.
Any input is appreciated and welcomed.

I use regular screen protectors. I tend to change them every 3 weeks or so.
I've bought some cheap ones from ebay as well as the xtremeguard ones (not the HD one you linked). Also note there's always an 85-90% coupon for xtremeguard products. I've recently purchased "HD" non-glass and "fingerprint resistant" non-glass ones from aliexpress which should arrive soon.
If I were to offer you advice, grab a few different kinds of cheap ones. I've found the 5pack ones I bought for around $4-5 with shipping are not bad at all.
Wow.. Every 3 weeks??
I have a nexus 4 right now and have the spigen ultra crystal for about a year and a half and it's still in pretty good shape.
By the way I made an order with xtremeguard with a 90% coupon. I got both the HD and regular screen protector I hope they are good.

With my old phones I never believed in using cases or screen protectors. With my Oneplus I'm a little more careful I suppose.
I change them so often because I have a whole bunch, some of which I haven't tried yet (regular, tempered, HD, anti-fingerprint, etc) and the slightest blemish or anything drives me nuts.
I am also thinking about buying one...deciding between RhinoShiled and Orzly, both seem perfectly fine.

For me they like the actual screen which is good. I got tired of that rubbery feeling and plus bubbles and peeling. I find the glass to be easier application. Zero bubbles. Try one, if you don't like, go back to the other. No biggie
I have used both the xtremeguard screen protectors on my previous phones and now on my One I got their Spartan Shield tempered glass. Overall, I like the glass protector. It's a little thicker at .40mm, but I don't have any issues with touch sensitivity. Also, it fits the unit very well. I had another tg protector I purchased off eBay, and while it was slightly thinner at .3mm, it didn't fit the screen as well.
Here's the one caveat with purchasing from xtremeguard, it takes a long time to get their products. I live in the next state over from where they ship and it took over a week for me to get it. Also, their packaging is rather minimalistic and the first protector arrived cracked. Same thing happened to a friend with his tg protector. Apparently, they don't have any expedited shipping options.
Never had any issues with their regular screen protectors. Can beat them for the price.
Hope this helps.

I have 3 different tempered glass screen protectors sitting on my desk... I've yet to actually try one - they just seem so thick!? Is the only advantage the fact that the touch feel is best?

Try the orzly tempered glass it has round corners which makes it feel like there is no screen protector on at all.
For some reason I do not like glass screen protectors.

I applied my Orzly tempered glass screen protector in a steamed up bathroom to prevent dust.... Applied pretty easy. Had to do one quick lift to readjust but am real happy with the look and feel. No dust or bubbles. Doesn't seem to bother touch responsiveness either.... I would certainly recommend. Be carful with the install.... You only get one in the package.

I prefer Skinomi screen protectors. They are very good, and have a lifetime replacement warranty.
Skinomi!
So I've used the Orzly, Nilkin, and Rhino Shield protectors. The Rhino shield was an oil magnet and started to bubble/ peel ever so slightly after a while. The Nilkin wasn't nearly as smooth as the Orzly and scratched much easier. So i'd recommend going with the orzly.
So I've this one: https://oneplus.net/oneplus-premium-screen-protector in the Anti-Fingerprint version. That Anti-Fingerprint is not completely true, I can see fingerprints and other oily stuff on it. Also, that version tends to reflect much.
And I somehow got a scratch into it.
Is there someone out there who also has a screen protector, from a 3rd party? Can someone recommend one? I don't really want tempered glass.

Greetings all.. I have searched a bit for a normal screen protector that's quality but all I find is glass.
I've never been a fan of glass screen protectors.
Before I would always buy spigen ultra crystal sp but they don't have any for the opo.
I found http://www.evolutivelabs.com/products/oneplus-one but $25 is crazy.
Any input is appreciated and welcomed.

Hi,
Try this from Orzly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQKATH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is a tempered glass one and it works great with cases. It doesn't say that it is oleophobic, but it cleans easier than the actual screen.
I will suggest mocolo glass. This is good for glass protector. http://glass4m.com/product/mocolo-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-oneplus-one/
The thread starter is asking for "regular" screen protectors, not (tempered) glass ( = like I did) ...
