Expensive Plastic or Cheap Glass screen protector? - Nexus 5 Accessories

I am trying to decide between what screen protector should i buy. As my budget is very limited, i have to take this matter very seriously. I brought a pack of 5 screen protectors a while ago for my nexus 5, for just 2.50 euros.
They did their job well, clarity of them was not the best but usable, they protected the screen from scratches, though installation of them on my screen was pain in the ass. I used only 2 from the pack of 5 because the other 3 were wasted in the installation process. Huge bubbles underneath that were impossible to push out afterwards, thus making the screen unusable.
Next time i sent the same pack again for the same price, but the seller sent me completely different screen protectors, that were impossible to see through and had no glue at all how to stick them on screen. Basically ripoff. Still have them, if someone wants a pic just ask.
So now i am using a screen protector that came with Spigen case for more than month, might be even 2 months, and the screen protector is just littered with scratches, so i need a replacement fast. As i don't want to get ripped off by another cheating seller, i decided to buy one or two glass protectors. I found this one LINK
Is that one good for a glass protector?
As far as i looked, the plastic screen protector price ranges from less than 1 euro to 5 or so euros. But glass protector price ranges from 5 euros to even up to 50 euros. So should i buy expensive plastic or cheap glass?
Also, is installation more reliable for glass protectors? I don't want to wait for 3 weeks for one screen protector, and in the end have to struggle with installation, possibly wasting the money and time.
And if anybody knows, will eBay ship faster from England to Eastern Europe, than from China to Eastern Europe?

This is what I have:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly®-Temp...328881&sr=1-3&keywords=nexus+5+tempered+glass
I bought one when it first came out, it went on very easily with no bubbles and still looks as new. I'll never use a plastic screen protector again.
Hope this helps.

I use the nillkin glass screenprotector. Ordered here
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1467811195.html?tracelog=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail
Very happy with it for 5 months now. Very smooth, no scratches whatsoever! And installation was super easy. Just make sure to clean and degrease the screen thoroughly, and no dust of course.

Wow 11$ for a screen protector. How long is shipping ?

Ok thanks for your replies , i just brought 2 of these LINK
And shipping time from Great Britain to Eastern Europe is around 10 days, at-least it says so in eBay, if anybody wants to know.
I will most likely post how it went and everything about it as soon as it comes.
If you want you can keep discussing screen protectors here.
I just canceled the purchase because it for some reason needs some kind of soap solution for installation. I don't want to mess my phone with soap and water. I will look at the links you sent and i will most likely purchase one of those or both, until i get my money back i cant yet tell anything
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgytRrIDHEw not for nexus 5 but the same company and the same screen protector.

original screen protector

Hi, found this screen protector on HTC europe shop. Bit exepnsive but is it worth it? I mean the screen protector provided byt HTC is really good. THey offer also a 5 pack for 31 euros.
What do you think guys?
It is not expensive. Brando has one screen protector for 10 dollars. Clarivue has 2 for 9,99 US$. So, 5 for 31 euros is cheap.
Thanx for letting me know. Then I'll buy the 5 pack as soon as I can.
why would you want 5 screen protecters. you just can put one on your phone
Go cheap
I bought a set of six really cheap ones on ebay for under 5 euros delivered, and they're excellent... I've had more expensive ones in the past for other devices, and these cheap ones are just as good. Search ebay for elf protectors - the seller is german.
It's all down to how you apply them, as with all screen savers. Even if they say they're removable and washable etc, if you don't get them right first time you're stuffed.
Secret is to get the screen clean first - I use stick tape to pull off all the dust and bits, then apply the protector from one end, using a credit card or something to press down behind it whilst installing.
The screen protector that comes with HTC boxed in India is the worst! Its almost like a cello-tape on big size. Screwed my screen completely when removed. Then I had to use some shampoo for removing the sticky stains.
So carefull sticking..
Regards,
Carty..
http://www.wirelessground.com/htctoac.html
check out this site, lots of goodies @ good price!
i had 1 screen protector (orginal) for 10 euro in france
so 5 for 31 euro is a good deal
HTC Orginal protective screen (not the free one they give you)
Just got 6 decent quality protectors for £3.00 inc carriage. Found them on ebay from a UK company - the ebay shop is E-Cell Global. They are miles better than one I got from Play.com, applied easily and I can honestly say they are invisible - i had to double check it was on it! Must be the best bargain ever.
PS: The reason I have been looking for new protectors is because I did a stupid thing with my new HTC Touch Enhanced. I put on the one supplied wth it and it looked rubbbish so i threw it away. After a few weeks use I saw a very small mark on the edge of the screen and lifted it up with my finger nail. Seems the touchpad / digitizer has a very thick plastic protector already on it fitted at the factory. Because I had lifted the edge it looked bad so I pulled the whole thing off. BAD move as the screen underneath it is very easy to damage and I got a few scratches on it before I fitted the new covers above. It now looks as good as new so I seem ot have got away with it.
Has anyone else removed this thick protector? In theory if you got a bad scratch on your screen you could pull this off and wack a new protector straight on fixing the screen for just a few quid.
Hej there,
i got some of these:
http://tinyurl.com/5gaobo
dirt-cheap (especially in euros) and really good quality, easy to apply and no scratches from the stylus at all (the protector i used before got scrachted immediately) ...
and the best thing is it ships free worldwide, really can recommend these
At BOL you can get the original HTC screenprotector. A 2-pack for only 5 euro.
Or.... a whole new digitizer for $10 Euro... I considered the prices of screen protectors and decided to skip placing one on my Touch altogether. I carry mine in the protective pouch and if or when it will get too scratched to look good, I'll just replace the touch screen.

I also decided to skip using the screen protector. I keep mine in it's case all the time (except for when I am using it). I have gone through 2 screen protectors in 6 months - They scratch way too easily if there is even the slightest bit of debris on your finger and they smudge to easily as well. Now that I am not using the screen protector, the screen is clearer, Colours are more vibrant, sensitivity to touch is better and I can write with the stylus better.

Exactly!!! Hated the protector on it too!!! Love the "naked" look and feel.
Chinese screen protectors are available for 1dollar only. im using one & its not too bad. i keep changing evry 2 months.
the screen protector supplied free with it in egypt is very bad it is massively scratched but i hesitste to remove it because it may leave marks of adhesive substance
Any place to buy this in AUS ..i also need a new one..
has anyone here used the TMOBILE "in the box" screen protector ?
mine already had a thin film protector and a spare one in the box ... been using it with thin film one since last few weeks and i am not completely sure if i should change it
any experiences / advice would be highly appreciated ...

Where can I get a good screen protector?

Hi, my device is HTC Cingular 8525. I want to get a screen protector film. I do have one now pushed on my phone, but its too cheap as I can see scrathes I made on it after one week use. I want get a new better one that doesn't have such kind of problem. I already look a lot of products. ZAGG's InvisibleShield ones seem good but I don't think buying a film for 15 dollars when my phone only worth 100 dollars is a good idea. Also I found on Ebay some item ask 10$ including shippment, but I don't know whether they are good. Therefore I want to ask: Anyone here has any recommendation? (Website links, keywords, ebay seller name, all welcomed) I want a screen protector totally charges below $10 with a reasonable protection against scrathes (both screen and film itself should be okay with scrathes made by stylus pen in normal use)
Proporta. One word.
Excellent - except for very HighRes devices...as you see the grain there. However, generally, dont expect to get more than 3 to 6 months out of such a thing.
I've always liked ClearTouch Anti-Glare ($13) on my Hermes!
To me... this is the best one....
9$ free shipping

sounds a lot like InvizibleShield http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield I've had one on my touch pro and it survived everything i threw in my pocket. No scratches or marks on my screen. The full body skin was decent, corners started to come away after a few months use and i was about to send in for a replacement as they also have lifetime warranties when i got an upgrade to the touch pro 2
On ebay there are also numerous protectors to be found
try 3m vikuiti screen protectors
someone here said they were good:
http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showthread.php?t=2759
and its 3M!
I have only Screen Protectors from Brando,a little bit more Expensive,but a lot Better!
I work as a Welder,so for me it´s important to have a Strong Surface because of all the Metal Dirt from my Work
Shield Skins are nice too,but i am from Germany so I couldn´t get the Shield Skins anywhere !

I like using screen protectors on my phone due to the fact it helps protect the LCD screen from dirt/dust and even if you dropped it screen first. Heads up don't get the mirror screen protector, they are hard to keep clean and it leaves your hand prints all over. I see it is that the above-linked screen protector is so cheap that it's worth a shot, and it means you don't have to worry about being too careful where you keep your Phone Touch. I'm definitely glad I have it. Just make sure that you take the time to affix it. Check this website: Uxsight.com
Hello
The "first generation" of screen protectors were made from very thin films based on the concept that an extra layer between the two surfaces (screen and stylus) would provide the needed protection to prolong the life of the device. These screen protectors came (and still come) in packs of 10 to 20 protectors and are hand-cut by the end consumer to fit the specific device. Such screen protectors, while offering extra protection, did not completely fill the need in the marketplace. They peeled up easily and they scratched almost as easily as the screens, causing the protector to be replaced often.
I have seen some good reviews of the ViewGuard Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector online. What do you guys think?
ebay is the best place

good screen protectors for the glide

does any good screen protectors for the glide? theirs a lot of sticker ones but i looking for a one that help reduce scratches as well.
I heard LiquidArmor is pretty good. The company I work for sells it. However, I am not one who is pro screen protector. Use the gorilla glass your momma gave you
Sent from my SGH-I927 using Tapatalk 2
i was thinking about a protector cos i'm living outside of the NA region and afraid that it will be hard to replace/fix the screen itself.
I use this, Xtreme_guard ones.
I'm very satisfied and they're very cheap.

Gorilla Glass isn't exactly scratch-proof... While it's a fair bit better than typical glass, I live in the desert, and sand sure does a number on it.
I already bought a few screen protectors, but failed everytime to get it on in a decent way.
This "lip" at the sides of the screen keep messing it up >:
Have you guys some tips to get it on easier?

Zagg Invisible Shield is a very good protection against scratches and dirt. One was gifted with my phone at first, and I ruined it in my pocket with my keys. I really think it saved my phone this day. So I bought this again but it was hard to found. Happily, it is easy to set with the provided fluid. ^^;
Now I have the full zagg protection (screen and back) with a Speck case.
didnt understand how it can help protect the back panel,
i bought the extrme_guard one, hope it will be good. didnt received it yet.
quick re-cap on extreme guard screen protector, it does it jobs pretty well, but the screen protector itself get scratch rely easy. but as i said the scratch don't pass to the screen it self, so it 75 percent good. its pretty cheap via eBay. cost like 5 bucks with delivery and got a replacement straight after the first one scratched while appalling (maybe its my fault for not doing it right).
so take it with a grain of salt.
maybe next one i will buy will be zaggs one.
ok, the extreme guard is not good, it peels off after few days. i will go with the zagg one hope it will be better.
Just a heads up, xtremeguard has 70% off the entire site and shipping is free. Use the coupon code 70OFF
You can get a screen protector for the Glide for $1.50. Considering most screen protectors are this cheap anyway, might as well invest in a quality one.
It's a pretty good deal for those of you that are into wet applications
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...de_screen_protector.htm?CartID=1#.UPSet2cwhPc
The full body protection is a much better deal, but sadly there isn't one for the Glide
I'm with xtremeguard ones. They last for about 6-7 months but i think they're totally worth the price and the quality is great. I've bought three: the first one has gone a few months ago due to accidental rubbing that slowly pulled up the corners and the whole protector; the second is the one i have on. It's great. The third is in my drawer just in case of need.
It would be a very good choice (especially consdering the price).
I bought three cheap screen protectors for US$3 on Amazon and overall I'm happy with them. I don't have experience with the more expensive ones, though.

Don't waste money on...

Expensive glass screen protectors like glassTr or whatever else. I got one of the 8$ tempered glass screen protectors off eBay and. Have been rocking it about a month now. Thing looks beautiful and is tempered and oleophobic or whatever it's called. Went on perfect the first time and I love the feel if the glass. Just like the original screen. Have had zero issues with touch sensitivity or anything

I agree. Spent $5.00 from ebay and about 3 weeks shipping from China. I even purchased another one just case .
Can you post some ebay links?
John.
I'm sure these glass protectors look good initially, but what I'd be interested in seeing is how they hold up long term after several months. My understanding is some of the cheaper glass protectors have issues lifting at the edges due to poorly made adhesive. I have an iLoome incoming and I'm worried even it will have lifting issues.
This seems to be the cheapest seller currently. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Perfect-Qua...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item51b23a2b92

I actually had a spigen glass screen protector before , removed it due to bad installation and bought a 8$ one . Found to be exactly the same. no issues what so ever.
Spigen and mime or w.e they are , are all ripoffs. just buy a aftermarket one. They also replace it for free if its not delivered to you in pristine condition.

Much sure you are applying in a relatively dust free area. Bubbles that won't come out are usually dust getting stuck between the screen and the protector. The glass protectors are less likely to get bubbles from non dust issues. I bought a MIME and while expensive at 25 bucks, it came with a tack sheet that removes any dust that you might not see.
If the cheap glass protectors work for you, great. 25 bucks is not a lot to spend on a 600+ phone in my opinion.

That is not a glass screen protector. I have had them. They are made of plastic. If you can get them on without bubbles, they work great but there is a stickiness to them that some like, I do not, so I wanted a real glass protector.

I like the water trick. Clean it up real good with the provided cleaning cloth and make sure its 100% dry. Then mist the screen with a spray bottle and apply the screen protector. Use the card to work out bubbles. Works every time.

I agree to a point. If even the smallest dust particle gets on the screen after cleaning it, you will get a bubble that is difficult, if not impossible, to remove. It is hard to have a "dust free" environement in a home.
The nice thing is I have wrecked a few of the plastic film protectors and the companies always just sent a new one.
I have had probably 20 devices over the past 2 years so I think I have tried about every brand of protector on the market
The glass protectors are the best for me. They feel like using the naked device. The plastic protectors always have a "sticky" feel to them and none lasted more than a few months before having issues with edge peel, discoloring, etc.
I had a Muvit Screen Guard for about 8 euro's.
It included two of these large protectors fitting screens up to 6.8" and you have to cut out to the right size yourself. They worked splendid for me. I sent in my HTC One for repair and the repair people scratched the screen, or rather the protector. Not a single thing on the real glass though so mission accomplished! And the scratches on the protector were pretty deep, so I agree. A cheap protector is just as good at protecting against reasonable damage done by keys or other sharp edges in say, your pocket or purse.
Now I'm using the screen protector the repair center included when sending my device back home.

A few people has posted to turn the hot water on with the shower running. Let it get steamy in there and it will take the dust out of the air. Then put your screen protector on in the bathroom and the dust element should be eliminated.

I 'wasted' my money on a GlassTr screen protector for my One. Was a little suspicious of the Ebay ones - probably wrongly so. It was I think very expensive but has fitted well and thus far working well. I'll never go back to those plastic 'things' again. Managed to get one spec of dust trapped under but other than that it's crystal clear, very smooth to the touch and phone just as responsive to the touch. Too early to comment on how it's wearing but looks good so far.
I got one of the cheapie eBay ones. I've had it about two months and haven't had any issues, save one... The glass doesn't completely cover the screen. You would think it would cover the entire black area on the face, but mine was cut about 1mm too short! Since it does cover the entire visual area, I decided it didn't bother me enough to go through the process of replacing it.
I used the hinge method, and did not have any issues with bubbles or dust on the screen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMPqDwVZzzM
Normally the saying goes, you get what you pay for. True for many things, however there are always exceptions. Going to try one of these! Thanks
I took the advice every one has suggested to fit screen protector tape down one side as hinge in bathroom with hot water running washed hands cleaned phone and screen even cleaned screen protector before removing plastic and it went on like a dream. Bought my screen protector from empire but can't recommend them due to carry on getting sent a protector packaged in thinner cardboard than a cereal pack so received it smashed then they sent me another in better packaging but doesn't say empire anywhere so not sure if it's there's but it works and iam happy although mine doesn't fully cover black area it's out about 2 to 3 mill but doesn't bother me .

I've got the iloome, it's been on two months now and I've not had one problem.

You could just buy tech amor screen savers from amazon, free replacements for life. I requested a new set of 3 and I got it for free, didn't pay postage or anything. Basically free screens for a while.

Cheap Tempered Glass Screen Protector

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

It's a shame they don't ship to other countries than UK, I think. (at least, they don't ship to Portugal)

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.

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.

Thank you for your review. It is much nicer to have only the speaker cutout instead full of holes
Did you buy Orzly 0.3mm from ebay.de and how much did you pay?

That's the one, but I bought it from Amazon uk for just under £6 with shipping.
Incidentally, the dust mark has just about disappeared now
I just ordered the super cheap one on eBay that ships from hong Kong. When I get it 3 weeks from now I will let you all know how it is.

Ok thanks. I just placed my order on ebay.com. I have paid £10,90 (shipping included), it is not as cheap as yours but I think it's worth the money.

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.

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.

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.
