Oleophobic screen protector? - Nexus 5 Accessories

Ehi guys, which screen protector do you use?
I've got Mediadevil cristal clear. Not bad, but it's not oleophobic at all. Do you know a good oleophobic screen protector? Thank you!

I'm fairly sure the Spigen GLAS series of protectors are oleophobic, as well as the Obliq Zeiss Oleophobic one. Neither of these are as good as the screen but they work well. I have the Obliq one and I love it,

Thank you for your input man, it's my first day with the awesome Nexus 5!

The Spigen GLAS tempered glass screen protectors do have some oleophobic properties, but it still gathers fingerprints quite easily (I have this on my N5). I've also used a Clarivue Anti-Glare screen protector that was also oleophobic, and while it worked for a while the surface started to rub off and was clearly worn out after several months of use, especially around where the keyboard is.
No oleophobic screen protector is perfect (obviously) and be cautious of those that will wear out after some use. And obviously it reduces the screen quality in some cases. Just food for thought.

I use this. It has oleophobic coat like on gorilla glass, but seems to attract some dust in my pocket unlike non-oleophobic screen protectors..

@gnufabio sorry for the off post but would it be any possibility for you to add the tf101 parts to the op so that we can use them without the server?

I just finished installing a Nillkin H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector. It also has the oleophobic coating (pretty much all tempered glass screen protectors have it, if they want to be rated 9H) and it seems to be working quite well.
The good thing about this one is it has the nice rounded edges and is ~$25 - $30 cheaper than the Spigen. Spigen is charging way too much for what you get. Their glass screen protectors are not worth $40.
Just read through these though, and decide what is best for you.

Just adding a comment that the Nillkin tempered glass oleophoic coating works quite well for me. I have had it for a couple months now, and no complaints. Basically Stock feel (on glass) and I'd say the coating is better than stock screen.

What is : Best NON-LIQUID screen protector

I have always used DRY INSTALL Zagg full body protectors on my phones and honestly have had zero problems with them.... i dont see the big fuss... they work perfectly... maybe im just missing out on something awesome and better though
what is everyones favorite DRY INSTALL --- NON LIQUID screen protector
150 views and no replies?
nobody uses non-liquid screen protectors?
I used a dry screen protector on my 3gs a few years ago and it was better than most liquid ones ive had on my droids since. I got a free dry screen protector with a Zenus leather flip case for my gs2, that was good.
I prefer SGP Ultra Oleo (Anti-Fingerprint)

I second that. Ultra Crystal gets too greasy, and Ultra Optics makes weird zip sounds when you swipe from the micro textures... Oleophobic is the best.

"Dies out"... as in scratches? Current one on my SGS2 still has 0 scratches, and I've had that thing on there for almost 6 months. Or, are you talking about anti-fingerprint capabilities? If you've used Ultra Crystal, then you'll realize just how much better Ultra Oleophobic is in that department.
I'm sorry guys, but i can't see any point in using screen protection.all sgs's comes with gorilla glass and this cannot be scratched in any way.
I've had 3 sgs(2 sgs1+1 sgs2) for the past 22 month and never ever made a scratch and i still got them all(nostalgic,i know).it's a waste of money.
The back cover is another matter.

You make me laugh... gorilla glass cant be scratched?
If you think you think it cant be scratched then rub some sand over your screen. Silica will scrattch you screen no problem!
I use the Martinfields screenprotector it's not liquid but can be removed and washed if necessary. I've used them on all my phones for the last god knows how many years. Easy to fit and practically unnoticeable.

? i'm referring to oil resisitance. go google reviews of the oleo. every forum review/amazon review will confirm that after few weeks it loses its coating.

This is terribly inaccurate. I think more than enough of us here have seen Gorilla Glass scratch (to our horro) to know otherwise. Gorilla Glass never even claims to be scratch proof, only highly scratch resistant. It's great that you haven't had any scratches though. I wish I was that fortunate.

Everyone should go to sgp and request they make the Glas screen protector for the S3. I have it on my S2 and it's the best screen protector out there.

The coating doesn't go away. All my Samsung Galaxy Series phone used Ultra Oleo with no coating issues whatsoever. Plus when you order one, you get two in the package.

if you have oily fingers like me, then Ultra Crystal is going to be a nightmare with the the fingerprints.
I have applied gorilla glas 2 on mine. Still no scratches. Almost looks like there is no protector at all.
have a look at eXim screen protectors, had them for years from psp to mobiles. Ordered the SPUC version with 99% clarity and no glues.

Glass-M Glass Screen Protector

hello guys
Just wanna let you know that the Glass-M Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector, is now avilibale fot our Nexus 5. Iv'e used this for my xpiera Z and thought its was as good as the spigen, maybe even better because off the smooth edges.
i've ordred one, price is 17,99 $ and 5 $ for shipping. Will tell more about it when i'll get one.
http://theglass-m.com/collections/featured/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-google-nexus-5
Those protectors are very good. A friend of mine using that for the iphone 5 for over two months.
But the big disadvantage: you cannot use a case with the glassprotector because the glass protector is too thick.
Hi, I just installed mine. I used the hinged method to install this screen protector on to my Nexus 5.
Here's a video of the hinged method http://youtu.be/dt9_fZDT-As
It works as advertised. Screen sensitivity is maintained thanks to its super thin 0.15mm premium tempered glass.
Interested in your feedback 3 months later OP
Has anyone got any more feedback on this tempered glass? Fit, strength, chip resistance, oleophobic coating etc?
Ordered One actually Ultra slim..didn't reached yet..!

Sorry for the late response as I have been following this thread and my 0.15mm slim Glass-M screen protector for my Nexus 5 shipped earlier today and it fits nicely. It is my first time putting on a glass screen protector, or a screen protector for that matter on. I used the hinge method and it fits almost perfect except that the earpiece cutout isn't that aligned but it's fine, what's done is done lol. I love the feel of it, pretty much feels like the OEM glass. I am using it together with a Ballistic Shell Gel case (the less beefy version of the SG MAXX without the belt holster) and it fits fine, no interference though it feels a bit snug when putting the silicone and then polycarbonate backing on with the screen protector but nothing serious at all. I tested out scratching my keys on it with medium pressure and there were no scratches. I don't think I'd do anything harsher than that though LOL :laugh:

Thanks for your feedback, one question I have is how does the oleophobic coating perform? Coming from Nexus 4 to nexus 5 I was immediately impressed with the coating on the Nexus 5 screen. If I am going to use a glass screen protector I would like it to also have good oleophobic properties.

Hi again! Yes, about the oleophobic coating, I feel it is decent, not amazing though. It will occasionally pick up some fingerprints but light presses on the screen (after washing your hands) won't leave any prints.

I received my Glass-M today...
It is my first tempered glass. 19.99$ US for the new 0.15mm
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/0-15...en-Protector-For-Google-Nexus/1500677869.html
I must say that I'm very impressed, the installation was easy, I had everything in the box (tempered glass, cleaning cloth, alcohol cloth,dust cleaning film, etc)
I can't compare to any other since it's my first one but it's very nice
it feels very smooth (glass) , no bubble or spider webs (yet),
my old screen protector was VERY fingerprint magnet but not this glass !!
it's cool !
here are some photos
Thanks, very helpful. I went ahead and ordered one
So can you confirm this thing have a GOOD oleophobic coating?
I tried so many different screen protector, glass or not, and so far nothing can match the coating that came from the phone manufacturer - it last much longer.
Spigen has a good coating. Closest I've used to not feeling a protector on at all.. Very good.
Sent from my Nexus 5
I'm using Glass-M, the thick one, since december or so.
It's really good, but it has some problems: I can't use some cases like Diztronic's (I don't know if I could with 0.15mm version), and the oleophobic coating is vanishing with time. Today I can notice more fingerprints than the first day.
I had just installed the 0.15 mm, one word, brilliant, very easy to install it not a single bubble, very thin is very hard to notice that is there the touch is very smooth and most important isn't a finger magnet, highly recommended. I am using it with the spigen ultra crystall shell case.:good:

hmm that's cheaper than the spigen and some others. i may order that and give the rhino sheild that's yet to arrive to my brother, being he's destroyed several phone screens.
#1 reason I don't use glass protectors is because they're hard and trapped dust can't be removed easily. This might actually make me switch to glass in the future. Too bad I already purchased a 6-pack of matte SP's for my N5 which will last me till I dispose of the phone.

I get it but glass make the phone feel so nice
Im hoping someone does a video comparison of the tru glass versus the spigen nano slim. The spigen is 0.23 mm and the truglass is 0.25mm. However I do not believe the spigen protector is flexible like the truglass. I'm sure that helps make it shatterproof if it truly is glass. Because it is soo flexible it makes me think its plastic and not glass. They do have flexible glass screens on phones nowadays but it is technology that is just hitting the market so I would suspect if this were truly glass and this flexible it would cost more than the spigen but it is cheaper !!
The rounded spigen nano is still not out yet so there is still some time for people to get this one and test it out.....cant wait to see the results. One more major thing I'm hoping to get with either one of these glass screen protectors is true smudge proof/oil resistance. That is the most important feature to me...so which ever one is more oleophobic is the one I want.

By that logic, the gorilla glass screens used on all phones and tablets costs $20+ to make? That's more than the cost of the processors in our devices.

oh my bad I haven't used a screen protector in about 5 years. But 2 weeks into having my HTC One I got 2 huge scratches in the center of the screen. I hate screen protectors, because I love the natural feel of my screen. but when I get my Nexus 5 I'm definitely getting a glass screen protector. I presume these screen protectors work well with their cases.

It moved a little bit and had some flex to it. It definitely is a rigid piece of glass though. I think it flexes more because of the thinness of the glass piece.

OK guys so I placed this Tru Glass protector and it is awesome, I had a SPIGEN Glass TR on my phone before I put this one (glass tr is the one that has the issues), its super slim just like the Glass Nano TR, it feels great to the touch feels just like the naked screen.
It was easy to put on no bubbles or anything like that.
So I really recommend this protector its awesome, its cheaper than the SPIGEN protectors and in my own opinion its as high quality as the SPIGEN brand.

Matte anti-glare tempered glass screen protector

Okay so here's the deal, I was using the orzly tempered glass screen protector and I missed the feel of the matte screen protectors. I didn't want to just remove the orzly one because I spent $10 on it and its still in prefect condition. So I had an idea, LAYERED SCREEN PROTECTORS! I got 6 matte screen protectors on eBay for $3 so I didn't really care if I messed up.
now before anyone complains that its a stupid idea, I know that it could affect the touch responsiveness and so far, it didn't.
Worst case:
-remove both screen protectors
Second worst case:
-remove the matte screen protector from the tempered one.
Best case:
-everything works properly.
CAUTION:
-The only hard part about this is you have to layer them PERFECTLY or you'll have a an uneven finish.
-There will be a border where the matte screen protector hangs off the tempered one since its slightly bigger. Thus might cause the screen protector to lift off if you have a tight fit case.
I'll keep this thread updated on his it handles in the upcoming weeks.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE. Have a nice day!

I second you. I too really miss matte finish and anti glare feel with the tempered glass protectors. I had this idea in mind, but you executed. Cheers

Honestly it worked well but after a period of about a month, the edges of the matte one wouldn't stick anymore since its bigger than the Ozrly protector. I have heard that some tempered ones cover edge to edge but then I assume a tight tpu cases wouldn't fit correctly.
Anyway, I ended up taking it off and am currently using only the tempered glass. The main reason is when I took of the matte, I didn't realize how beautiful the screen was and how much crappier the matte made it look. So I decided to just get used to the tempered glass one which took a little time because my fingers usually drag on the screen. But I honestly did get used to it.

I was a big fan of the matte protectors but since putting the nillkin tempered on, I don't miss the feel of the matte protector.
I also now see how much nicer the screen looks. Matte was great for minimizing reflections but it definitely reduced the image.
Any pictures with both protectors on?

It looked exactly the same as on the regular screen except that the top right and tip left corners hang off the ozrly and over time it won't stick anymore because dust eventually gets underneath it.
sent from my amazingly awesome OnePlus One

The Glass Tempered Screen Protector War

Hi Everyone,
I recently received my OnePlus One, and it is pretty amazing.
Now the trouble that I have is choosing which glass tempered screen to get.
Rhinoshield seems very attractive, but at $25 that is a premium. If it is indeed the best, then it would be worth every penny.
Now I understand that there are many threads on Glass Tempered screen protectors, and I'm here looking for a definitive answer, as reading upon thread after thread would be inefficient.
So what is the consensus from xda on glass tempered screen brands?
Go with orzly tempered glass from Amazon. Its like 14 bucks shipped and just as good as the higher cost ones.

+1, I have the Orzly as well and its great! I dont believe in paying over $20 for a tempered glass screen protector. The Orzly is smooth feeling and with its rounded edges makes it a premium feeling protector. :good:
I have the Orzly as well, with an aluminum bumper. It fits perfectly and works well.
Dont waste your money on Rhinoshield, its a pet film and got scratches dont worth the money, better get a tempered glass protector
I have orzly too and they are just fine for me! Haven't tried any one more expensive though

I'm very satisfied with the Nillkin 9H Hardness tempered glass Screen Protector... $9.28 shipped from ebay. Fits perfect with my Diztronic case. Been in hard use for about a month with no scratches from carrying in pocket and laying on the desk. Wife carries her OPO phone in her cluttered purse with the same setup and no scratches either.
I have the Orzly and noticed some scratches near the corners, the fit and feel are great though. When I had the MIME on my Nexus 5 I would always lay it face down and didnt seem to scratch like the Orzly. Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm using Mime's tempered glass and have for every phone I've had, it keeps the screen as sensitive as it is without one, is super thin and I like how the warranty works out with it if I break it (never have and won't [fingers crossed]). It doesn't get in the way of cases like the fold-able ones or regular bumpers. I'd recommend it just because I use it on just about everything!
Ai have this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/221498913097
It fits perfect, i love it

Orzly is better than the Nilken.

Just got this protector myself and so far I am quite impressed with it compared to the old standard plastic protectors I used to use.

It's OK.

Awesome, did you notice any drop in signals when applying the aluminum bumper?
Tempered glass is the way to go, films like rhino shield scratch up too easily.
Got my first ever tempered glass screen for Christmas, orzly. It's perfect. I wouldn't consider anything else.
my opo is protected with a nillkin 9h glass

Exactly my reason for getting one. Its not the protection that's up for debate with me, its the oleophobic coating and superior scratch resistance.
What do you guys think of the CaseBase tempered glass screen protector?
