So far no luck finding a good screen protector. Suggestions?

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but for now it seems like we can't get a good screen protector for the S3. All the flexible film based protectors dent too easy. This includes protectors like the SGP Curved Crystal. This review below clearly shows what I mean about easily denting. It also has issues with tight fitting cases.
Then if we go for a screen protector that doesn't dent so easy, they end up not covering enough of the screen. The SPG Ultra Clear nano and Ultra Crystal (2nd version) both don't dent like the Curved Crystal, but they don't cover enough of the screen. Especially the sides. So swiping near the edges you can easily feel the ridge. Ruins the smooth experience of the S3. Would be nice if Spiegen does a revision of the Curved Crystal like they did with the Ultra Crystal and made it so it didn't dent so easily. I definitely don't want to go with tempered glass as its just too thick. I am currently using a Realook Flex Film, and it covers the whole screen nicely, but has orange peal and dents easy just like the other flexible films out there. Realook now has a "3D forming crystal clear" protector. It covers the whole screen and uses their PET material for the main part of the screen, which should prevent the denting effect. I'll give this one a try, if it's not that great, I may just use no protector and go with a flip case. Anyone else have any suggestions.
Here's a pic of what I mean with not covering the whole screen for the Spigen SGP screen protectors.

This is what I just bought.. not sure when it's going to arrive but it should fit your criteria better?

Ignore that link. I just recieved it and it doesn't cover the whole screen completely.

Search for the threads. There has been plenty of this

To be honest, I've searched far and wide through the threads and Spigen seems to be the protector of choice. But once I look at reviews of those protectors elsewhere (like the YouTube video I posted) I end up seeing that they're not that great. I'm beginning to think that we have to go with either the flip cover protector or go with a hard film protector that doesn't cover the whole screen in order to get that glass like experience. All the soft film based protectors just dent to easy or have some orange peel effect. It just ruins the beautiful display of the S3.

You are correct, the Ultra nano does not cover the entire screen. Really though, it makes it perfect for use with a case. The amount no covered is so minimal when using most cases that it's not concern, for me anyway.

I use the screen protector that came with my otterbox case and it has served me well so far. It doesn't cover the whole screen but then again, if it did it would come off when I used a case.

I use the genuine Samsung Super Slim case which I feel gives the scratch protection I need for the back and sides of the phone, while adding practically no bulk to the phone. So an edge to edge screen protector would have no issues for me. If only Spigen would use the same material they use for the Ultra Nano or Ultra Crystal in their Curved Crystal protector it would be perfect. It's really too bad the Curved Crystal dents/creases so easily as shows in the above video.

I like what zagg did for the iPhone. They make a case friendly screen protector. I like having that option. If you plan to use a case then it's a perfect choice. If going to use no case or a snap on case then a regular screen protector suits just fine. It would be nice for companies to show android some love in this respect of options.

you can pick up the SGP Flex HD. They cover the entire screen, and is hard to see that it is actually there. It feels smooth as well. Also it doesn't leave much finger prints on there

It seems you haven't looked hard enough, I have a thread on a skinplayer 3D mask film, 99.5% full coverage and has a self healing surface, flexible PET screen protector.

I use the zagg invisishield. Best one I've used yet. I also use it on my tablet. It's more expensive, but worth it. Of course I got mine from best buy the second day the phone was out. So there were only two to choose from ,and I didn't want to wait for one to be shipped to me.
It's designed to fill itself in for minor dents and scratches (I possibly butchered that explanation, but I think you understand). Also, it can be removed and reapplied.
The best part though, is that it's so clear it doesn't detract from the screen. In the past when I would use a screen protector it would always look like a filter was on my screen. Hated it. They've come a long ways in that aspect.

I noticed nobody mentioned Wrapsol. Their ultra line is pretty tough. It comes with a back protector too.

not 100% coverage, but excellent quality.

I hate when people ask about screen protectors because that means they obviously don't know about the best one out there. It is called clear-coat. Google it. Ive had it on all my phones. It is perfect. It doesn't come off unless you peel it off and leaves no residue behind. Most malls have a station that sells it and puts it on for you. If you watch videos of it you will see a guy scratching his iphone against rock and then peeling it off and no marks on the screen. Best way to go by far. It is also covered by a lifetime guarantee.

Vikuiti!
I'm currently using Vikuiti screen protectors, and they're working out pretty well. It attracts fingerprints a bit, but nothing a quick wipe doesn't get rid of~

I'm not really so sure why everyone is so worried about the very edges of the screen that the Ultra Nano doesn't cover. It's a great protector that you can barely even tell is there, and it covers all of the important and useful parts of the screen just fine. I've been using it for 2 months and it still looks great, plus I've had no issues at all with scratches on the edges that aren't covered. Using it with a Diztronic TPU case. Put a case on your phone and the combination seems perfect to me.

I've been using vikuiti ( a less mentioned brand for screen protectors I think) and it's been working perfectly fine with the genuine galaxy s3 clear TPU case. No scratches on the phone or screen protector, I never really understood how people had to cycle through so many screen protectors. Best of luck to you finding your preferred sp!

Tempered Glass Screen Protector Quality (ALL brands)

There's an ongoing discussion on which brand of tempered glass screen protectors are the best value, but I'm curious which ones have been most prone to chips and bubbles. I've had this problem with the Spigen GLAS.t and am looking to replace it. I'm not willing to sink $30+ for something that will just chip within several weeks. I'm very careful with my N5 and I have 6 chips that have magically appeared over the past couple months.
Your votes are appreciated =) If you haven't encountered any issues, details like which screen protector you have and for how long (this is important) would be helpful. Cheer!
EDIT: To help get more definitive information, please try to post details that reveal the following:
BRAND (Spigen, etc.)
MODEL (GLAS.tR, etc.)
PROBLEM(S) (# of chips or bubbles, none, etc.)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN USING IT​
EDIT2: Here's a list of the tempered glass screen protectors and their thickness, please let me know if I need to correct or add anything:

You could ask for experiences of those who've owned and used the product for a month or two. It's common to see people on within a week singing praises but things don't always go so well with cheap glass over time.

I got the Spigen Glas.Tr and it had a chip in it on day 1. Ended up cracking across the screen.
I emailed their customer service 11 days ago and still haven't gotten a response.
Pretty upset.

Yeah this is my thinking too. The first few weeks I had mine I LOVED it, but ask me today and I wouldn't recommend it. If anyone who hasn't had any problems with their screen protector mention how long they've used it for, that would be helpful =)

My GLAS.t is cracked across the screen too, twice! Sad to hear the tR has issues as well since Spigen claims the rounded corners help a lot more with chipping.

Using the mime feather with a Ballistic case and the right top and bottom corners started cracking for some reason. I also have a crack from left to right in the center of the screen that doesn't even touch the corner cracks. Not very happy. This is my first slim-design glass protector and first time using MIME, but I never had any problems with my Spigen.

I've had the mime ghost with a spigen neo hybrid for over a month now. No cracks at all. Tiny bubbles only when case is on. The case is very tight fitting, so the corners rise up a little. No problems with the screen protector itself.

i'm on my second mime ghost glass and it's paired up with the spigen slim. both were chipped and the second one has a scratch on it as well.

can the people stating the have cracking issue also say how thick the glass is? maybe if you can edit that question into the main thread, we'll find a trend =?

Well those people who got their screen protector chipped or bubbled...can they share some pics of it....and mention the particular cause that how it was happened...???
As I use this Tempered glass Screen protector for my N5 and believe me its such a nice product that it never make me feel as if I have put something on my screen..the touch is pretty smooth and flawless...n I just love it...and couple of times it has saved the screen from my car keys too.....I just love this product..very pleasant experience....
Thanks

Hey guys, I updated the first post with a list of tempered glass sp's for the N5 along with their thickness and link. Let me know if I'm missing anything!

Mime Ghost
I have been using MIME Ghost for over a month now. It is good. No bubbles/cracks. I have read may posts that say that the mime feather cracks easily after a week or two. Ghost is a bit thicker and a better option in my opinion.

I have 6 chips around my Spigen GLAS.t and I honestly have NO idea how I got any of them. I treat my phone with care and always leave it in its own pocket so it doesn't get scratched or anything, albeit I don't have a case on it. But a good quality screen protector should be able to withstand day-to-day use without a case, in my opinion.
Interestingly this is the first I've heard of the Amzer Kristal (which I'll add to the list in the first post) and it's the thickest of all its competitors. How long have you been using it, and do you have a case with it?

Any piece of glass with sharp corners will chip easier, even with large window panes. If you have the glas.t and are not using a case, it will definitely chip as the edges are most vulnerable and more chips/cracks will propagate from there. I don't know why Spigen doesn't put the message for the glas.t on all of the glas.t products, but this is from the iPhone 5 glas.t page:
*As this is a glass product, please note that the edges of the glass are the most vulnerable areas. We highly recommend that you use a case along with your GLAS.t SLIM to avoid chipping or cracking the edges of your GLAS.t SLIM

Myself, I have had the glas.tr since early December and have no issues with or without a case. I switch between the Neo Hybrid/Ultra Fit and no case about half the time and have had no chips or bubbles.
TL;DR: If you get a glass protector without rounded edges, it will most likely chip unless you have a case to protect the edges of the glass.

Thanks for this. I was going back and forth between the t and tR, but figured I was careful enough with my phone that it should be fine. I assumed the disclaimer was for people who had the tendency of being a little more hard on their phones. I'm really thankful mine was in the first batch that was recalled, so I essential got a trial run at the glas.t. Good to hear the tR is more durable as they advertise. I'm curious to know which of the other brands have curved edges as well, which is definitely a must if I'm not using a case.

Added the Cruzerlite TRUGLASS to the first post as well. Seems like there isn't one brand that is clearly more durable than the rest.

Which glass screen protector?

Hi,
I've had a Nillkin glass screen protector on for a few months, and the glass has slowly started to lose its sticky around the corners and keeps air bubbles all the time. It's also got a slight chip on one of the edges.
So I'm looking for a replacement, preferably one that doesn't have a cut out for the light sensor.
I don't particularly want to pay £30 for a spigen one, especially if it goes the same way after a couple of months. So I'm looking for around £15/$20. At the moment I'm looking at the Glass-M one, but would appreciate some other recommendations? Ideally one available in the uk that I don't have to import from the states or HK.
Thanks

Here's a good start, on top of the many threads specific to the different brands:

I can recommend the Glass-M 0.15mm glass. Great fit and feels great on being so thin. I purchased from a Hong Kong seller on eBay for £9.50 delivered and delivery was only 1 week or thereabouts.

thanks
Thanks for the links =)

I was looking for a Nillkin tempered glass because it's way cheaper than Spigen, but then, after reading some reviews about webs spider and other issues, I decided to buy the glass-m 0.15mm for a few more bucks.
I am very happy with my choice, it's perfect

Well, im looking for one glass too... I have been looking for the shield armor one (or something like that, I don't remember the name of it) I see many reviews and looks like works very good on the iPhone... I don't know if buy it or no (25$), what you say?

Thanks for the replies - can I just confirm the GlassM one doesn't have the cut-out for the light sensor?
Also, would the thinness of this not go against any additional protection from dropping that the glass ones tend to offer?

The Glass-M only has a cut out for the earpiece.
With regard to drop protection. I don't think there will be much in it. A serious drop on any glass protector will break it I believe. Its mainly for scuff and scratch protection. I went for the thin 0.15mm option because I wanted the phone to be as close to naked as possible.

I'm more thinking about the screen underneath the protector. Although not guaranteed, the "extra protection" offered by a glass protector is one of the draws for me.

I'm not sure a glass protector will protect much against a drop onto a concrete or hard surface from height. I think it all depends on how it lands, the glass protector will protect against scratches and scuffs should it survive the impact from the fall.

I'll tell you which one NOT to buy.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400653222919?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The cutouts are on the wrong side of the screen protector. It would have fit perfectly if it werent for this issue. The adhesive side has both cutouts on the wrong side of the protector, its like it was made backwards. Seemed good quality for 8 bucks but its unusable.

As this thread is dedicated to glass screen protectors, does anyone use a glass screen pro with a tpu case?
I'm tempted by the iloome flex but unsure if my case will case the protector to raise at the edges

I'm using the Anker glass screen protector - it feels better than the stock screen and when the coating rubs off or it gets broken/scratched you can replace it with another one for around £12. I've already had the stock Nexus 5 screen coating rub off.
No drop in image quality at all. I really wasn't sure about it but there is no downside to it.
It works perfectly well with my Nexus 5 Cruzerlite TPU Case (A2) and the combination means the phone is pretty much bullet proof whilst still being slim and lightweight.

Tempered Glass screen protectors; Recommended ones?

So I've been looking for a tempered glass screen protector for my Moto X, and I'm not sure which to get, the MIME or i-Blason. So I figured that I would ask the community what they recommend.

Between the two, i-Blason. It fits much better than the mime

I have the MIME, can't say as I'm super impressed with it. I'm considering switching to the iBlason just because it's thinner. I feel like the MIME is interfering with the touch sensitivity and causing me to have to press harder than I should. Plus it's just ever so slightly too low and the curved edge interferes with the front facing camera causing a slight distortion at the top of the image. I could move it, but that's where it sits centered.

I had MIME, dropped my MotoX couple of times, MIME did it's job and protected the screen. Unfortunately it chipped and then it started to break really quickly. Don't get me wrong I don't complain about this, it's glass it breaks when dropped on concrete, but it's $25 (+ shipping, I live outside US), and spending this kind of money every month is something I would like to avoid, so I bought some cheep Chinese one on eBay for less than $10. And besides that MIME has nice curved edges, I really don't see the difference...

I had the MIME on my X and while I liked it the sensitivity in the Nav bar area wasn't always good if the phone was say laying on a desk. That being said the MIME on my wifes X is perfect. I just removed my MIME and installed the Mocolo glass screen protector, install was as simple as the MIME and I even had to realign it slightly so peeling it off and putting it back on wasn't a problem. I now have No issues at the Nav bar area so I'm very happy with the Mocolo. http://glass4m.com/products/mocolo-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-moto-x-g
Just to add, the order to shipped to my door process was 6 days from China to NJ, very impressed.

I-Blason is the best fit out of all the available tempered glass screen protectors.

I-BLASON is the best fit size for moto x. But the glass cover Distance Sensor also.
Maybe have below problem:
Take a call, phone will auto screen off and can not make it on until end of this call.
Power key also can not use while calling.
Any one who have Iblason to check it have this problem or not?

I'm curious what (if any) case you are using.
I'm considering getting one of these, but I'm concerned about the fit inside a hard case. The hard cases are already a VERY tight fit, and I'm wondering if it can even be snapped on with the extra 0.33mm that the Mocolo adds to the thickness.
Can anyone advise?

I have a seidio surface case and an i-blason glass screen protector (ordered from amazon). Long story short the case does not overlap with the tempered glass protector that I got. Although mounting the tempered glass protector is best done with the case already on the device.Top to bottom the case and screen protector is a VERY tight fit (but it does barely fit)!
What confuses me though is people above are saying the i-blason protector covers the proximity sensor, mine doesn't, so I am a bit puzzled...

From what I understand, it used to, but they fixed it a long time ago.
I have the i-blason, was very careful with installation, used the "hinge" method, went on fine, been over a month with no issues, I use a minimal case, so no issue with it. I still "baby" it, the protector is more so that in case, I'll say "lucky I had a protector on it"

What confuses me though is people above are saying the i-blason protector covers the proximity sensor, mine doesn't, so I am a bit puzzled...

The difference between version 1 and 2.

I have the mime, and coming from the Zagg glass on my Galaxy S5 which was absolutely amazing, it is just as good. The fit is extremely tight though, you need to be spot on for installation. I have only given it a day though so I'll see if it stands the test of time.

Ok so the Ghost Glass only lasted about 2 weeks before it started to chip in the sides from just daily use. Then it shattered when I went to remove it. Customer service responded in less than an hour with a free replacement coupon. So A+ for customer service but the product kindof sucked. Using it was great but as soon as there is one fault the whole thing is junk, something that my Zagg Glass didnt have an issue with. The Zagg cracked but still went on without an issue for 2 months, and even upon removal it stayed in one solid piece.
I will try the replacement for a while and then go to iBlason if there is any issues.

I have the motocolo. The touch screen is good, but the sensivity not realy realy.

Love my iblason, it started getting spiderweb cracks after several months of use, but I was able to transfer the cracked one to my replacement moto x while I work on getting a replacement iblason. No luck emailing them, I have to fill out the warranty form on the site now

Iblason have 2 version? I see many problems with proximity sensor?
Thanks

So any updates on the glass protectors you guys are using?
I've had my MIME for over a year and it's starting to chip and crack after dropping it. I'm not sure if I want to get another one cause I had a lot of difficulty putting it on precisely so as to not have bubble edges.

I have the Mocolo Glass Screen Protector. This Glass fits very nice on the Moto X.

I had motocola but I find the sensitivity of the touch worse so I gave classic screen protector.

I haven't tried all the glass screen protectors, but I bought the monoy and I love it. The best part about it is the edges are curved so your finger just flows over the sides and it feels great.

Screen Protectors - UK

So what's everyone planning on getting or using?
I'm not a fan of tempered glass, so I still tend to rock the film ones.
Have been using the Ringke Dual Easy Film on my S10e, and they're perfect, however they're not yet available for the Pixel 5 (They are coming though!)
Grabbed myself some of the Atfolix ones https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08KLV9P1W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, again, used these in the past on the Pixel 2 (I think it was) similar to the Ringke, just a different type of installation method.

Is it wet install film protector?
Had wet on my last phone and nothing beats it

No it's not the wet installs

I'm in the same boat. I've never had a tempered glass screen protector that I liked. I picked up this since it was the only non-glass one I could find. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

Let me know what they're like!
Ringke dual easy film are out on Amazon, however, it's the wings version, which wraps around the side of the phone. :/

I've just ordered a 'Brotect' screen protector having previously had a positive experience on Nokia 8, will report back.

Man i can't seem to find any good screen protectors on amazon, all those already there are either not available before November (though it already has comments...) Or doesn't fit... Didn't check on other websites though (Fr here).

I too ordered a brotect airglass screen protector, 3 pack for £8.19.
Previously I had purchased one off amazon that I returned as the punch hole cutout would not align - most of the ones on amazon have the same issue of alignment based on the odd reviews coming in. I hope brotect will be good as it's made in Germany.

Screen Protector
I just fitted my Supcase Unicorn Beetle case w/ built in screen protector - it is amazing, makes my P5 feel much better in my giant hands.
if I didnt get this i'd wait for the spigen Glas-T, they fit like a glove and work well on their own or with their cases (liquid air is on order as a backup)

Looks a little bulky
How is the screen protector?
Laughing at the speaker holes when it's under the screen

a naked Pixel is just too dainty for my hands, protector is nice and responsive.

I can recommend the Brotect air glass screen protector. Precise width (which has led to me having half a mm uncovered on the right as it's the same amount over on the left...) but very easy application and looks great. Fits fine with a Spigen case.

Are you talking about this one?

Does it come with a cutout for the camera as shown in the picture on amazon?

I ordered mine from here but it looks like the same one. Yes it has that style of cutout.

Avoid the AtFolix range. I've used them before and theyre usually fine, these are another level of poor!

Ordered a pack of the Media Devil Protectors - Hopefully these will be better!

I have applied the brotect screen protector. If you apply it properly (my second attempt) then you can cover the entire screen. First time using it but on appearance it does not seem like glass at all, looks more plastic so cannot comment on the durability. But it is very thin and looks great.
Only the top left camera portion is unprotected as there is no punch hole but rather a corner cut out in the protector

I have the LK tempered glass. It is not bad at all. A bit small for my liking. It covers all of the screen though. Has a cut out and sticks well. Tempered glass is going to
be interesting for this phone as I think they will all look very narrow and short. While the screen is flat the gloss border curves away and you have to choose where protection ends. My personal preference might be for film this time but will see. This is fine for now. I had a Zagg protector ordered from them but it got cancelled. Frustrating.

Puzzling why the Supcase has 2 extra holes on the top of the protector in the middle... very weird.
