Screen Protectors

What screen protectors are you guys going with? I'll throw some links up for people to reference which ones are out there.
I'm debating which one I'm going to be going with, I'm really considering going with the GLAR.tR SLIM Premium by Spigen.

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?

mediadevil forever
had it on all my phones/tablets and i love those screen protectors... pre-ordered for nexus 5, ships November 18th... 8£ -> a pair of screens!

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!"

What is the difference between the GLAS.tR and the GLAS.t?

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

I have the zagg protector on mine just because they were the only ones available today in the shop and I have used them in the past

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.

Temper glass screen protector

I'm looking for a temper glass screen protector anyone have some suggestions

I just got one at frys electronics in wilsonville

Does it adhere completely avoiding the edges?

Skinomi is a great brand. Have theirs on my Galaxy Tab S. Just as good as the Zagg Glass I have on my G3. Still waiting for it to ship from Amazon tho

Zagg glass seems a bit small...nice but not a perfect fit

I'm waiting for Spigen to have their ultra thin one for this phone. I had it on my S5 and loved it.

I bought the Invisible Shield Glass. Been great and doesn't even seem it's there, plus is flexible & is made from pure glass but no thicker then other protectors

Screen Protector & Tempered Glass for A7 (2017)

I've been trying out a few tempered glasses they either don't fit nicely or the sides don't cover. Same goes to screen protectors. Looking for the type that i used for my S7 Edge, anyone has any recommends? Please advice... Thanks!

Me too looking out for the same.

For the screen I'm getting in the next weeks this tempered glass
http://m.ebay.com/itm/292033339730
It's curved and should cover the whole screen. I ordered in the clear version.
For case I bought a ringke case (totally recommended, used last one in a z3 compact)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/302206311252
EDIT: There are the A7 version for both

Do share the link of A7 instead of A3 ones...

According to mine suggestion you must take a look at Thematys Store on eBay. They provide Screen protectors for all smartphones.

best screen protectors in my oppinion are from Ultimate Shield.
Its the ones I use on my S7. Sadly they don't do for A5 which I was looking to buy.
Tempered glasss protectors sucks

are u planning to use your phone in he pool anytime? if so don bother with tempered glass. the water and moisture gets in and it comes out. If you really need a tempered glass then you get a good variety on ali express for really low prices including worldwide shipping. i usually choose free shipping so it takes 2-3 weeks to reach me. but they have the best collection for any phone. but since i use my phone in the pool i decided to put a wrap/skin like gadgetshieldz. it is waterproof and wont come out when you use it in the pool. and i obviously keep the phone in a rubber/silicon case with extra padding on the edges.

Recommend "case friendly" screen protectors for S8+

Hi guys, please can you recommend the best screen protectors for the S8+... they have to be case friendly. :good:

I'm currently using Spigen Galaxy S8 Plus Screen Protector NeoFlex with the "TECH21 Evo Check" Case with no issues.

I tried almost all whats available in the market, you name it, i tried it (expect for the zagg sphhire, still waiting for it).. Glass and film, tried them all, and i can highly recommend the iq shield wet film, so far the only one that you almost can't see it there, and definitely case friendly (subject to you applying it at the right position as a millimeter makes all the difference).. Try it and you will see.. Spigen wet film will be my second option, only its a bit more visible after applying it and more finger print magnite..
Alllllll, and i mean alllllll glass screen protectors are worthless, i tried at least 10 brands, cheap and expensive, and non works or sticks well, and definitely non is case friendly, the once that are, you can clearly see the adhesive through the glass after applying it, and that makes it soooo ugly..

I've got a Caseology (Spigen Tough Armor) and a MoKo 9h glass protector and they aren't compatible.

BearMotion with icarez glass. Pretty good combo.

Is this the iq shield protector you are referring to? They have so many

I tried a Zagg Glass protector and it goes on very simple.. good coverage and touch resistance was fine.. Slipped the phone into a Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Zagg popped off.. So Not compatible at all..

Yes its

Yep, spigen tough armor and some tempered glass protectors aint compatible. Pushes up. Same thing for any other film protector for the tough armor. Pushes up on almost all i have tried. havent found one that works so im getting over this spigen tough armor.

I also have the IQ Shield case friendly and it works great with my 2 Supcase and Spigen Hybrid.

I bought this gel type screen protector, it fits flawlessly edge to edge and no bubbles or wrinkles! It's a wet install but it's so easy!

Awesome guys, thank you. :good:

I just ordered the iq one that was suggested. I have an otterbox defender so I'll see how it works with that case. From what I've read the glass protectors do not play nice with most cases.

I have the Ghost Armor wet film on my S8+ and think it's one of the better ones out there. I got a glass screen protector free with my purchase, but it is pretty terrible so I decided to go with a film one. And the Ghost Armor is case friendly.

I've got the GPEL glass screen protector with a spigen ultra hybrid case. No issues

I have the wet install skinomi case friendly protector.
It fits great and doesnt even look like its on there. Ive been using these since the note edge days.
They sell a 2pack for around $8 ship

Bought a spigen neo flex but its on b/o due to manufacturer flaw per seller.
In the mean time using one i got fro tmo and its fine except the edges that lift up and bubble.

Tested the Orzly TGSP with the Spigen Thin Fit, Rugged Armor and Orzly FlexiCase - worked with both the FlexiCase and Thin Fit, but NOT the Rugged Armor.

Best Galaxy S8+ Screen Protector?

Hello,
I am looking to purchase a new Samsung Galaxy S8+ screen protector. I was planning on getting this case but I had wanted a screen protector as well to protect such a device. Any suggestions? I've looked online and heard to find a good one is rare due to the fact of the curved edges as well as it being an expensive phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Side-Note: Any suggestions for another case would be nice as well, I like the one linked above but something with a slim factor would be nice too!

https://www.amazon.com/Whitestone-D...1497757988&sr=1-1&keywords=whitestone+s8+plus
Works well with the Spigen Neo Hybrid too.

Idk I've gone through 3 screen protectors with the same case listed above for some reason the case grabs the side of the screen protectors and it bubbles up I tried two expensive tempered glass screen protectors and each one with that same case popped off my phone so irritated right now I'm using just my bro hybird case with no screen protection

I am also in searching of some good glass... Unfortunately, all reports are so far divided. Some could manage put some glass, the others have more problems... In the other theme GravX put an interesting video with test samples with full adhesive tempered glass from alibaba. Itnwill take some time, until this will be available on amazon

It is worth it. I screwed up the install and they sent me a new tube of glue and screen protector for free.

I finally just gave up on finding a tempered glass protector I opted for a liquid glass nano screen protector applied two coats and slapped my case on no scratches nothing and I always end up throwing my phone in my pocket with my keys highly satisfied also barely any smudges it's legit for those have any trouble I recommend liquid glass Qdamix liquid glass to be exact
Fyi don't be the idiot who still doesn't have a military grade case on it.. if you drop the phone without a case the screen will crack period with a tempered glass or not so don't be an idiot and think this is gonna make the phone bullet proof nah it just prevents scratches nothing else!

Be careful, that liquid screen protector stuff is mostly snake oil. I've been caught out with it before and ended up with scratches just with the phone being in my pocket.

Screen Protectors for Samsung S8 Plus
Ounier Galaxy S8 Plus Tempered Glass Screen Protector, [Case Friendly][Easy Installation Tray] 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector (Black)
Due to curved edges of Galaxy S8 Plus, traditional full screen glass screen protectors will generate a halo effect on the edges. We have developed a Dot Matrix glass screen for Galaxy S8 Plus, which offers full screen protection without any bubbles or halo effects. This is accomplished with state of the art technology by placing hundreds of microscopic transparent dots on the screen protector to mimic the contact of your finger on the screen.

I'm using Spigen Glas.Tr full cover glass. Definitely recommend!

Get this one it's perfect for cases, supacase and spigen no issue no peeling off and it's only 4 odd pounds from ebay!

Would installing this Screen Protector on a screen with a little scratch FUBAR the installation?

Force Glass is no good
Hi,
I have this glass protection supposedly life guaranteed but it left bubbles on my screen even with the set up device included.

i buy the glass protectors that show a hammer hitting the screeen and then for an added measure when i put my phone in my pocket i turn the screen towards my leg
