I just bought some Terrapin screen protectors off Amazon and they are terrible. Already scratched up just from wiping it down once. Does anyone have any recommendations on some screen protection? I would rather use the dry/cling style and not the wet type. I have the MyBat screen protector for my SGSII and love it, but it appears they only make protection for the 10.1.
Thanks for the advice!!
Bought two @folix screen protectors from Amazon few weeks back. They are very easy to install, exactly the size of the screen (with a hole in the camera lens area). I feel it reduces the fingerprint smudges but think it's also just a bit more difficult to wipe the screen fully clear. I cannot see any difference on the image with or without this foil.
I am considering ZAGG invisibleSHIELD to protect my Galaxy Tab 8.9, but is it really necessary? The glass itself is reinforced and resistant to scratches.

I recently bought a glare free protective film kit from iluv
With two precision cut films...
take your time to place it, but i'm very happy with the result.
No more fingerprints on my screen and it's still working as it was without it....

What the pros and cons of tempered glass screen protector vs a Film screen protector?
My concern about the Tempered glass is that :
--it's adhesive is only on the bezel area and since sgs4 have smaller bezel so it might get detached easily
--Tempered Glass might scratch the glass beneath it
--If adhesive of the Tempered glass became less sticky Dust might accumulate inside
So can you tell me your experience with tempered glass screen protector? I really want to hear from someone who used this screen protector for long time and not on these reviews on youtube since they only used it on the time they review it.
And also does anyone tried using combination of Film and T.glass protectors?
i never bothered because they're so expensive and i screw up the screen anyways so the film type are more easily replaceable
ill probably end up buying 2 or 3 cases and end up using only screen protectors in most situations lol.
to me i rarely drop my phone but i have trouble keeping it out of my pocket with my keys and change, other things. ive been pretty good about it but not perfect.
First off my only problem with tempered glass on my S3 was that it messed with screen responsiveness... Now the ones for the S4 are mostly half the thickness of last years so that should help that problem a lot. The iLoome protector fort the S4 is fully clear and I assume it has adhesive over the entire surface. The sense of mind you get with glass is great. Plus the feel of glass is much better than that of other screen protectors. If you can find one that doesn't take away from screen sensitivity than i'd say it's definitely worth it if you care about your phone.

I have a "Flexible Glass Screen Protector" on my S3 that has adhesive all across the back. I have only removed it once in the couple month's that I've had it. I have not encountered any dust getting between the two pieces of glass. The adhesion has not deteriorated any either. I am very happy with it and I really am hoping I will be able to locate one for my S4. The only draw back that I have found is that the thicker protector limits the cases you can use. My favorite cover before I got the protector was the Seidio Surface case and it no longer can be used. I also like my Otterbox Defender case and I was able to "squeeze" it on after I removed the plastic protector that came on the cover. It's a tight fit, but it does work.

I got it from GlassZone and I believe it is 6mm, I will have to look for my old email confirmation.

It isn't 6mm thick, that would be +70% the thickness of the entire phone! lol
Maybe 0.6mm, that would still be very thick for a screen protector.
Spigen film is the way to go... $14 for two protectors and easy to install...
Just watched a review of the Spigen Glas.tR and it is also CLEAR!

I had a glass protector on my GS3 (XGear Spectre, I think) and it worked fine - no loss of sensitivity. It did allow some tiny dust in, but it was easy to lift and wipe it out the couple of times it happened over 8 months. And the week before my S4 came in, I managed to drop the S3 on its face...the screen protector cracked, and the phone is still perfect. Looking at the Spigen one next week just because of that.

Okay, I found the ad for the flexible glass protector. I ordered it on eBay, this one is very similar even though it is for the Note 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...193&pid=100040&prg=1011&rk=1&sd=230950051927&
I love this screen protector and am hoping that I will be able to get one for the new S4.

I also had the one everyone was talking about at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920757
But, like someone said previously, it had adhesive only on the outside edges and dust or dirt could get underneath the protector.
I ended up breaking it on the corner when I removed it to clean beneath it.
That does look like a nice one.
I bought the Spigen Slim Glass screen protector and I am 100% satisified. Zero less in screen sensitivity and it feels smooth as, well, glass

That's awesome. Which one did you get? .TR or .T? I didn't like the one for the s3 but apparently this one is better as the adhesive is all over.

I got the tr, I think its the thinner of the two. Its definitely fully adhesive, I love it.
spigen GLAS.tr for what phone?

Spigen GLAS.t SLIM = non-rounded borders - (0.23mm) - thinner
Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM = rounded borders (0.4mm)
You're correct the t is the thinner material. Either way it feels great and installs fairly easily.
I had the glas for the s2, I LOVED(easy to clean the screen of finger oils) it, however, it attracted dust underneath the screen protector due to adhesive being only at the edges, I took it off after a couple of months. With the full adhesive, i will definitely buy again for my soon to arrive S4. Especially since I just dropped my s2 face down on the ground and broke the screen a couple weeks back (without case), the glas would serve as a shield.
Hi,
Just got a 8.4 Tab S and Samsung keyboard.
Please suggest a good screen protector (either plastic or tempered glass) that I can easily in Canada (either online or store).
I will also need a case that can fit the tablet/keyboard with a stylus holder.
Thanks in advance.
I have this glass screen protector. No complaints.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010BUKH1K
I am not sure about the case, I use the Samsung snap on flip cover and love it but it wouldn't accommodate your keyboard. As far as screen protectors go I have a Zagg and I love it, they have always been my favorite and if the protector ever gets damaged they replace it for you.
I'm using a tempered glass from Japan + flip plastic casing.
Dropped my tablet from knee height few weeks back and my screen didn't crack.
Previously I had other tablets without a tempered glass and the screen broke easily.
So a tempered glass is def a must-have for glass protection.
Happy with my Beetle case and Tempered glass protector on my Tab S 10.5..All from Amazon...and less than 30 bucks combined....
With the beetle case I removed the built in screen proctector due to the ugly rainbow effect...
Can't say enough good things about both of these items for the 8.4" Tab S
intelliARMOR tempered glass
Although you asked about one that also holds a keyboard, if you opt for one that is for the tablet only this is a great one. MoKo Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Case
I'd post links and did actually, but my post count is less than 10 so you'll have to do the leg work yourself on Amazon.
I went with the book cover hence no screen protector required
I bought the Beetle case myself yesterday, it has to ship all the way from the US to the UK, so it was not as cheap as yours, what tempered screen protector did you buy, though i am not the best as installing them.

I purchased the Anoke brand from amazon..cost me 11 bucks..
No problem installing a tempered glass, it's real easy compared to a regular wet install non tempered one..
You just peel away the adhesive side and line it up carefully and lay it on the tablet, then just touch the center of the screen, it will do the rest, you then remove any excess aIr bubbles with the included cloth, no mess , no fuss...
Can the built in screen protector be removed without damage so it can be used with the case in the future?
I have an tempered screen protector, but it came with some of the adhesive around the edge damaged and i got a refund, but it looks like this case the bezel is covered so it might not be seen, so i might be able to use it.
Thanks
John.

Yes, Just use a razor blade to loosen one end.
Its basically glued with a very light film, so it will peel off quite easily.....
But honestly when you see the ugly oily rainbow effect it has you will probably never want to put it back on...
I will see what it look like, and if it`s bad i will get an tempered glass screen protector, do you know what the weight of the beetle case, I cannot seem to find it, even on the supcase website or amazon, does it add a lot of weight? EDIT: Is is it 7oz approx 200g ???
Thanks

It does add noticeable weight to the tabet but nothing that would cause any issues, for me I like the added weight, The Tablet s was so light I felt I was holding nothing and was afraid of dropping it everytime I picked it up.
Now I have something I feel comfortable caring around ..
I got my case yesterday, I cannot see any rainbow effect, did you remover the protective plastic from the inside of the screen before installing it.
Though the built in screen protector is an fingerprint magnet.

Yes,
Glad yours is working out..
Only issue I have thus far with further use is there is no kickstand on the case, but I have a portable tablet stand arriving tomorrow which should fix that problem...
Will let you know how it works out...
Ok got my Tablet portable stand from Amazon today, very sturdy and works great, has lots of different angle settings to fit your needs.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CKVOOY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
It also will hold the tablet regardless of what case you use to house it..
As you can see I have the heavy duty Beetle case and it fits perfectly....
Stand opened and ready for use.
Tablet resting on the stand with front and back views.
On stand along with the Samsung Bluetooth keyboard...
If you want a stand that will fit in your bag or pocket for quick use this is the one you want.

Do any of you guys own the case above?
And know if the screen protector is removable?
Will a tempered glass protector work with this case?
Its removable. Its just held on by some glue on the inside. I have the pleson tempered glass screen protector and it works fine with the case.
It will work, just pop it out and put on your glass screen shield.
Can confirm that you can just pop out the plastic scratch guard and use it with a glass screen protector.
I might try the glass protector with mine eventually. All defenders i have owned. I eventually removed the plastic protector as they will inevitably get scratched. Despite the bulk, this is the only case I have found with a holster that doubles with a kickstand for the MXPE so I will stick with it.
After giving up for now on tempered glass, I put a film screen protector on my phone.
I have a Spigen TPU case but when I put it on it pushes the film off the glass.
I have tried several times but the result is always the same.
Has anyone put a film screen protector on their phone and found a case that will not mess with it?
Spigen Thin Fit + Xtremeguard wet app worked lovely on my S7 edge. Have the same case, just waiting on my Skinomi to arrive for the Note 7. Poor baby has been sitting in a box since last Thursday
