Compatibility: Specifically designed for LG Google Nexus 5 (2013)
Invisible, superior quality, 3-layer PET film that will not distort the High Definition screen clarity/colors
Protects screen from daily scratches, dust, scrapes, and normal signs of wear
Attaches smoothly with self-adhering surface, leaves no residue when removed
Includes: 3x Screen Protector, Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloth, Squeeze Card
First, The screen protectors were in a nice stiff card board packaging. This protects it from bends during shipping. This is a nice change from the usual screen protectors I order off ebay thats in a simple envolope and sometimes comes bent.
The accessories are of good quality. The microfiber is better than the ones I usually get with screen protectors. It's grey, decent in size and has a good feel to it. It's tons better than the pink, blue or yellow cheapies that come with other screen protectors. (You know the microfiber sheets I'm talking about, we all got one of those before), It also comes with a squeegee and lint remover/hinge stickers. The lint remover/hinge stickers are meant for any dust you can see on the screen before applying or used as a hinge for applying the film.
Also for the first timers in applying a screen protector; it has step by step directions for best results. There are instructions for 2 methods. Hinge method (what the stickers are for) and regular method.
It has cutouts for the camera, ear piece speaker and light sensors. They are cut and aligned correctly. This being said it is a little difficult to get an absolute perfect alignment of all three since the "remove tab 1 here" is at the bottom of the protector. This means that you need to apply the bottom first on the phone and aligning the 3 at the top is a little difficult. There are 3 protectors so thats good if you mess up once or twice.
The film is definitely clear, no rainbow effects, no loss of touch sensitivity and not too sticky when swiping my finger across it. When removing the second film on the protector, it is quite sticky however. Just do a quick wipe with a liquid lcd/glass cleaner. It went away and now its has a good smooth but feel when doing finger gestures. You can barely tell there is a screen protector on the thing.
Overall I'm very happy with it. 3 Protectors with lifetime warranty. Techmatte, the maker of the protectors, also has good customer service. What not to like about that?
I'd give it an easy 9.5/10

Today i got my PDair ultra clear screen protector.
I got it because i needed a screen protector and i didn't find the spigen flex HD on amazon until a day after i placed my order, so i got this.
It comes in a small plastic bag, nothing fancy, inside you get ONE protector (i thought there would be at least 2 but i was wrong), a cleaning cloth, a "soft card" aka piece of plastic to squeeze out air bubbles and the obligatory instructions demonstrating how to apply on the iphone (the front "selling" image is also of an iphone).
It's a dry application protector with two layers to peel off.
I should warn you so you don't make my mistake, the protector, once you remove the "step one" protective layer is EXTREMELY electrostatic. It picked up dust from the surrounding table like there was no tomorrow. So now i've got a bit of dust under my protector, but it's nothing serious, though it may bother some people.
It applies very nicely, this is my first screen protector ever and i managed to get it on the first time with no bubbles in the middle.
The sides and edges have some bubbles but i think thats just from the dust, or i didn't apply it correctly.
The protector itself is invisible, except for the edges of the plastic, and it's a bit harder to swipe now it's on, like it's a bit sticky.
Maybe that will wear off over time, will update this post if it does. It still collects fingerprints and smudges, but it's just a little bit better than without the protector.
It offers good protection, and fingernails do not leave a mark, neither does rubbing metal on it, though very sharp objects do leave a mark. (see last picture, i tested it with the sharp end of a screwdriver and pushed quite hard. It does scratch but the screen beneath is OK)
One more thing , it does not cover the whole screen, on the top and bottom there is about 3mm of glass to the edge, and on the sides it goes to the curved part. I use the case mate tough case so it does not bother me.
And thats it, pics below, any questions ask me and i will try to answer.
PICS:

This is a review of Anker anti-glare screen protector for S5. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Hig...lare-Anti-Fingerprint-Lifetime/dp/B00IOCN5Q2/
After getting S5 over the weekend, now I'm starting to receive a lot of accessories sent to me from different vendors for review. So as a heads up, a lot more reviews are coming!!! To start off, I'm going to look at Anker new anti-glare/anti-scratch Galaxy S5 screen protector pack. Here is what I found.
With every new gen, smartphone manufacturers introducing a more durable displays and trying to tell us that we don't need screen protectors. 2-3 years ago screen protector was a must because it was easy to scratch the glass, but today you might argue if you really need one. Plus with tempered glass protectors getting thinner, you might think why would you even need a traditional PET film screen protector? If you look at all the junk on ebay - don't even waste your money, even if it's as cheap as $0.99. The reason why I decided to look into PET film sp as my first accessory because the phone is actually for my wife and she uses it a lot outdoors. Plus I have two little kids at home who like to get their hands on it too. Anker, I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with their external batteries, now expanding their product line and adding screen protectors in addition to their battery and power products. The model I'm looking at offers 4H hardness (this is beyond typical cheap 2H films, and even premium 3H films), anti-scratch resistance, fingerprint reduction (very easy to swipe, even without cleaning cloth), dust reduction due to less static generation, and the most important - matte finish for glare reduction.
For $5.99 it came packed with a lot of goodies, including 3 screen protectors, a generous size micro-fiber cloth, a bubble removal card (plastic, not some cheap carton tab), a sticky strip to remove dust, and even a detailed instruction manual. They also offer a lifetime warranty, but to be honest between 3 protectors, you will be covered for a "lifetime" until you switch to a new phone anyway. But still, having a pack of 3 with a lifetime guarantee gives you a piece of mind in case if you mess up during installation. Actually, install took me a minute. It went on easy, got a few specks of dust so I lift it up to clean it, and put it back on squeezing out the air bubbles. One thing I do have to note, it has anti-glare matte finish, so it adds a layer of tint to your bright screen and makes it look a bit grainy. But that's a price you gotta pay. Otherwise, get their clear screen protector.
Is this an absolute must have accessory for S5? It's up to you to decide. Personally, I wouldn't leave your screen exposed because next time you will end up with S5 and keys or loose change in your pocket - you might not be as lucky to get away without a scratch. Plus, if you are struggling with a glare outside, this might be a good solution for you. For $5.99 it's dirt cheap, good quality, and comes from a reputable company.
Here are the pictures.

Hi folks,
I don't post very often but I just got my 2.5 D screen protector from www.dx.com (SKU 292915) and it's great so I'll do a review of it.
Product Summary:
Brand: 2.5 D
Price: $9.60
Ordered From: DealExtreme
Material: Tempered Glass
Thickness: 0.2mm
Screen Type: Glossy
Pros:
Premium packaging
Guide stickers for the hinge method
Dust removal kit (alcohol cloth, normal cloth and dust sticker)
Rounded edges
9H Hardness (survived a key scratch test)
Touch screen not affected
Only 0.2mm thick
Easy application
Cons:
Grey lines in top-left corner
Instructions not very easy to read
Weird typos on the front
Extended Review:
First of all, the packaging. The packaging is above average for stuff from DX so that's nice. On the front there's just information about the product with 2 typos.

Inside the package you'll find an alcohol cloth, a normal cloth, 3 guide stickers for the hinge method, a dust removal sticker and of course the screen protector itself, which is packed separately.
The screen protector itself feels just like real glass. According to DX the protector is 0.2mm thick so that's pretty thin. The separate packaging of the protector has some Chinese and English application instructions, which are not very easy to read, but it's also not hard to do so. The instructions are calling the protector a "GLAS.t R" (like the Spigen one) instead of just a protector.
The cutouts are very well placed, if not perfectly. The protector is almost covering the entire screen, just a gap of 0.5mm so that you can use it with some cases. It works well with my hard plastic Nillkin case. Application goes very easy; clean phone, place it, lock in place with guide stickers, take the plastic layer off, lay it on your screen, touch the middle, press any other bubbles out.
There are some grey lines under the top left corner. If I push that corner, they will go away for a short amount of time. I don't know what it is, but it isn't dust.
The touch screen is not affected by the protector and I don't notice a difference in brightness; the screen is just as clear as without the protector on it.
This protector doesn't scratch easily, it survived a real life key test!
Review Summary: (Scale from 1 to 5)
Overall Rating: 4.5
Price: 5
Quality: 4.5
Ease of use: 5
Usefulness: 5
I hope this is a good first review, please comment whether you're about to buy one or not!
If there are any grammar / spelling errors in this review: Sorry, I'm Dutch. My English is good, but not super good.
When I ordered my Pixel 4, I ordered a few various screen protectors and cases to have ready when it arrived. I'm very happy to report that the first one I tried out has turned out so well that I just threw all the other cases/protectors in a drawer to collect dust.
Amazon Link ($7.99)
I installed the case first to use as a guide to install the protector and the end result is the most perfect protector install I've done on any phone, with perfect alignment and no dust trapped underneath. There is no "halo" line to be seen where the clear part of the protector meets the black border around the edges, either. I was quite worried about that.
I initially intended to use this protector (or another one) with a Spigen TPU case, but the case that comes with this protector is so good (with a slim snug fit and perfectly tactile button feel) that I have no desire to remove it. I love the combo so much that I decided to order another one to have as a spare in case they ever disappear from Amazon.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this with others who may be looking for full coverage protectors. Here are a few pics I took. Any dust seen is on top of the protector. Living in a brand new house, it's impossible to escape, unfortunately.

Does the screen protector adhere well on the edges? Or does it rise up?

Sorry for the delay. The edges adhere with no issues. I haven't had any lifting at all. It's still perfect.
Full coverage protectors always seem to chop off a bit of the display. Usually noticeable in apps that have objects near the edges. How does this one fare?

I disagree. I have installed many screen protectors and this one does not confirm to the curved edges of the screen. The case is excellent though.
I bought it just today, waiting for it to arrive to me in Italy (about 10 days). From the photos I can see that they are a winning combination!
What screen protector is everyone using? Preferably glass, but open to TPU. I'm in the UK

I'm using whitestone dome currently, although there is one on Amazon for ten to fifteen dollars or so, that is pretty good also. They used to have one for the 8 pro I believe in/from uk if I'm not mistaken. The dome is hard to beat if you can spare the additional cost. I believe I paid $40 for two and I recommend just putting the glass on without the included alignment tray using the camera cutout to line up.
There is already a thread for these :
Screen Protector Thread
Ultimate Shield LOCA Screen Protector (2 Pack) £29.99 from Ultimate Shield Website £29.99 from Amazon UK
forum.xda-developers.com
Whitestone is usually the best but they're pricey. Ultimate Shield are good also, not quite so pricey.
Foluu is popular, my favourite is the Mocolo LOCA screen protector from either AliExpress or Amazon, good quality and a decent price. Just be careful with the glue when you are applying it and try your best not to get the glue in either the speakers or switches, it can be easily removed with IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) if you do though.

Akcoo 3D Matte Screen Protector w/ liquid screen adhesiveWell low and behold, I found a matte screen protector for the Oneplus 9 pro. It is a tempered glass like screen protector you apply with liquid screen adhesive.
I love it! No bubbles or lint getting trapped under the statically charged screen protector (caused by the pulling away of the protective film, and it seems to attract dust and lint). No more glare. Better visibility in the sun. No reduction in brightness. No screen fingerprints nor smudges. And way better feel, like running your finger over paper, just the right amount of mechanical feel that you simply do not get with tempered glass screens.
Fingerprint sensor works as well as before.

I purchased it on amazon, and it is far from the most expensive screen protectors out there, while not being the dollar store bargain bin price range.
You do get a lot for your money and value. You receive two screen protectors with three liquid adhesive viles. You also get the standard wipe pads, cleaners, and stickers to remove lint as well as... a) rubber pads in different thicknesses that you stick on the bottom of the phone (opposite the camera bulge) to level the phone flat. b) clear adhesive strips that you apply to protect the ear piece and the side buttons in case you squeeze any clear adhesives into those areas (*which shouldn't happen if you follow my rule of thumb below). c) UV light adaptor to cure the liquid adhesive (you need a usb c cable and power supply).
Cheers,
