So When i had a thread in the skyrocket forum for ghost armor it picked up pretty well. Ghost armor is a wet application protector like zagg and bodyguardz. They offer screen and full body protection. their protectors are, IMO, much less rubbery and tacky feeling than zagg and they show a lot less orange peel.
Aside from the clear finish though, they have different flavors such as carbon fiber wraps and my personal favorite, matte finish. Instead of using a case on my phones I always use these guys and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend having their kiosk employee do the installation too.
Here is my One X with the matte finish ghost armor applied, along with the screen. The original kit did not come with the sides and i had to add them in extra, but it's well worth it because the glossy sides are the most easily scratched part.
Looks very nice. I might just get it done as well!
Thank you! I had no clue there was a separate color option for the camera circle. Definitely getting now. How does it feel by the way?

Is the matte slippery at all?
I hate the orange peel effect it gives to the screen.
How much extra were the sides?
I was shocked when I picked mine up and didn't have any protection for the sides.

I actually got too anxious and couldn't wait for my full ghost armor so I bought the Zagg HD screen protector today. Damn is this thing smooth. Really feels just like the glass of the phone. I'm just going to use the back and sides from Ghost Armor, as I really can't stand any case that's out for this phone.
The matte actually improves the grip of the phone by quite a but but still feels awesome to hold. Side pieces cost me an extra $5 he used the pieces from an iPhone 3g kit

How did you get the green circle? I'm on their website and not sure how to configure the order to get a sticker for the ring colored differently than the rest of the body...

If you go to one of their kiosks you'll have much more flexibility with color options. I was annoying and got mine mix-n-matched lol

Hahahaha perfect. I'll use their website to find the closest kiosk then, thanks.
My carbon fiber skin finally came in. Got it installed today. Really happy with it and glad I'm not longer using a bulky case.

Soon as I get home I'd be happy to.

Pictures as promised
Here we go. Not a lot to see on the front it's just a better than most screen protector.
I didn't bother with the sides.
I thought the carbon fiber would provide a nice grippy surface and I was right. I'm quite pleased
So is there any orange peal affect like Zagg on the screen protector?
I have no idea what that is. Never used any screen protector before today.
Ooh Gunny, that looks awesome! Have it professionally installed?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah. I drink way too much coffee and could never have gotten it to look that good so I paid them. 37 bucks with tax for the skin and install.

I just googled. There may be a MINIMAL effect but I only see it when the phone is off and it's more like seeing vertical lines than bumps and swirls like in the pictures I saw.
UPS just dropped this off 5 minutes ago. My first impression is that this is the best case for the gs4 for people who want a cover style case. This is the case that Samsung should have made for the gs4. It definitely mimics the curves of the gs4 very well. It has generous port openings that looks to even fit third party adapters. It also has the it blaster port opening. The headphone opening fits all of my headphones such as the vmoda m100, audeo phonak pfe232 and velodyne vpulse. The hinge is made of plastic but this case definitely feels high quality.

My recommendation.... Buy this case immediately. It can be broken down into 3 different styles of case.

I have the white version of this case and completely agree with everything you said , highly recommend this case to anyone looking for a flip/sview case

Can you flip the cover backward so you can hold the phone nicely? If yes, are the camera and flash still exposed? Thanks.

Yes you can fold it back all the way. The screen on the case exposes the camera. If you want the camera totally unblocked, then hold the cover halfway open.

the hinge ..not the clip.....
the hinge sticks out just a little bit, so if there are any lose threads in your pocket ,or suit jacket, it will pull at them
I wish they could have made the hinge more flush

Got the black one yesterday and loved the way it looked but shipped it back immediately. I thought "smooth black" would actually feel smooth but instead its kind of rough and almost sticky. Dust and lint immediately stuck to it before I even got the chance to pocket it. The texture was similar to the way the inner casing of otterboxes used to be (after enough complaints about dust and lint sticking to it they finally changed the material to a smoother, more dust free material).
Based on the reviews it seems like that white model is different? If so I may go for that instead. Otherwise the case is pretty slick.

I prefer the case having the clip todue to the fact that it keeps the case closed. I dont use my samsung s view case due to the case flapping open.

Just noticed you have a screen protector and a flip cover!
Paranoid much?
Seriously man, ditch the screen protector. It takes away from the screen beauty and screws up the tactile smoothness between your finger and screen
Ok so my gf got the S5 and she is trying to find a good screen protector, I personally like wet application screen protectors because they are the easiest to get on and have the best adhesion. So i was wondering if there was any good one for the S5?
She wants one that is clear, scratch resistant, and smug resistant but dont cost an arm and leg (a round the 20 mark max)?
If there isn't one that is water application but still have really good adhesion (meaning it stick to the edges of the phone) then will be willing to consider that as well.
Thanks in advance!!!
I have always used phantomskinz on all my phones. Love them!

Ok, have you considered a tempered glass protector? Adhesion isnt an issue and it doesnt get any easier to apply that these. However, if you are stuck on using the wet apply, ive always had good luck with the Zagg HD.

No she's never considered tempered glass protectors before and when I explained it to her she didn't seem all that interested in it since it's kinda became the trend where we both didn't have a screen protector on our last phone and suffered minimal scratches. So don't see the need for something as extreme as an extra layer of glass. But maybe the Zagg HD might work thanks.

I typically tend to stay away from items that don't come with a few customer reviews, its always better to have the opinion of a few people that have tried that way I have a better idea about what it is i am purchasing.

Just a little more info. The tempered glass protectors do add a little more protection than the regular protectors but that's no where near the reason I recommend them. It's for the feel. It feel like you don't have a protector at all....like using the phone naked. Just my 2 cents. Since I started using them a couple years I won't use anything else.

There are typically several options available. For example spigen and mime are the two companies whose glass I've used and they both offer ultra thin versions or standard versions with rounded edges. Personally I prefer the rounded edges as the transition from the home button and such is smooth as can be. As far as case issues I've never had that problem. Especially on phones like the s5 where the bezel actually has its own little lip anyways.
I did a review on the neo hybrid somewhere in the accessories forum and I have my screen protector on in those pics but I don't recall if there is a good view or not. I will gladly take a couple photos and post them here for you on my lunch break.

Tempered glass is the way to go, adds a little bit of thickness but feels like using the phone naked, I had the zagg HD on while I waiting for my glass ones to come in. The Zagg was very good for the wet application but still has that rubbery feel all wet application suffer from. Look on ebay or amazon you can get them dirt cheap for around 5 dollars, I usually buy 4 at a time and once they get a little beat up or the anti finger print coating starts to wear off I replace them.
here's the ebay link for the ones I got

lol typos happen don't spend 25 dollars on the same thing that cost five. I got mine in 12 days shipped for free. I have tried probably every brand of tempered glass out there in the last 3 years. I bought 60 dollar ones and 5 dollar ones, the only thing to make sure of is that they have an oleophobic coating.

Typos do happen. That being said the oleophobic coating is definitely not the only thing to worry about. Fit is important and the cheaper ones don't necessarily have the exact fit but the may. Hardness is extremely important as its what determines scratch resistance. Thickness is also a big deal. The difference between .3mm and .23 mm doesn't seem like much but it can create an obvious lip and also cause case issues. Also, rounded edges are a huge deal and not all glass protectors have them. And the thicker the protector the more important rounded edges become.

really good actually, i find that my screen looks very vribrant and shiny without mutch notice of prints or dust. I also have the tech21 tactical case, great combo, very thin, easy to take on and off, the tech21 sits very well at the edges of the glass (no wierd halo effect like cheap screen protectors) - i work at tmobile and had the option to try out out several different screen protectors and the tech21 beats the rest by a pretty wide margin. ive never heard of the brand before but damn do they do a good job.
Additional note! the screen remains incredibly clear and HD through the screen protector, virtually no diminishing of the original screen quality and oddly enough (i cant get my brain past it) it appears the screen actually looks better with this screen protector, i have no clue why, but i spend A LOT of time around this phone and other peoples note 4's and its a pretty noticeable difference
My best guess is that this screen protector succesfully protrudes the surface of the screen to give it a flatter more 2D feel with a possibly magnification? either way it looks amazing and feels great to the touch and the stylus flows extremely consistently over the entire surface of the protector.
Looks like a great find ccheww...! Will buy one Monday...

No prob, its pretty dusty, this is a few months of use so i wanted to leave it dirty to give you guys an idea of what it looks like after a few months.
notice that the note 4 itself collects more dust than the edges of the screen protector, also note how insanely perfectly shiny the protector is after a few months of use and being tossed around in my pocket with keys and headphones and dimes and nickles and lighters and jeans.
the bezel around my note 4 is more scratched than the screen itself... and its been in a case since day one.
I apologize for the poor image quality, taken with a note 10.1 2014 edition and pretty hard to hold upright like a camera

really good actually, i find that my screen looks very vribrant and shiny without mutch notice of prints or dust. I also have the tech21 tactical case, great combo, very thin, easy to take on and off, the tech21 sits very well at the edges of the glass (no wierd halo effect like cheap screen protectors) - i work at tmobile and had the option to try out out several different screen protectors and the tech21 beats the rest by a pretty wide margin. ive never heard of the brand before but damn do they do a good job.
Additional note! the screen remains incredibly clear and HD through the screen protector, virtually no diminishing of the original screen quality and oddly enough (i cant get my brain past it) it appears the screen actually looks better with this screen protector, i have no clue why, but i spend A LOT of time around this phone and other peoples note 4's and its a pretty noticeable difference
My best guess is that this screen protector succesfully protrudes the surface of the screen to give it a flatter more 2D feel with a possibly magnification? either way it looks amazing and feels great to the touch and the stylus flows extremely consistently over the entire surface of the protector.

How does it feel? Does it feel similar to the Note 4 screen? Is it smooth and your finger glides easily? Does it have oleophobic coating?

yes, it has a very smooth feeling, the s pen works great on it and quiet frankly i think it allows your finger to slide better than the original screen underneath. the reflowing polymer is almost feels like your finger oil is already on the screen and glides like a slice a butter on a frying pan.
as you can see in the pics below the case has a very thin front wrap so the screen still has the comfortable protruding feeling that everyone wants (ie the note and iphone with 2.5D glass)
T-Mobile has the case for 34.99 (same price directly from tech21) and 34.99 for the screen protector. Together with T-Mobile these can be put on your bill for an unnoticeable amount.
its 70 for both, tax is like 6.50 and its then only 3 more dollars a month to your bill, less than tax haha.
1 year warranty offered through courtesy of Tech21. have not seen a single person come back and complain about it. literally.
There was a post with pictures on the early pages of this thread (sorry, don't have time to locate it) from a forum member (IIRC name was Pedro....) who had installed the Tech 21 screen protector & was using a Tech 21 case. The protector had installed w/o a halo. IIRC he had purchased both at a T-Mo store & at the time the protector was not available yet on Tech 21's website. Between the price and the fact it was not 9h tempered glass the following posts by other forum members pretty much dismissed the Tech 21 as a viable choice. Obviously it's a very viable choice. Pedro.... stopped contributing to this thread & my take on that is he had found a completely satisfactory solution that others dismissed & no longer found a reason to follow this thread.
Some 250 pages later on this thread apparently none of us should have dismissed the Tech 21 as a viable choice.
Looks like gorilla glass 5 scratches like no other, so I figured this thread could help others with reviews and recommendations. I saw gpel made an all clear cover, and there's a few similar ones on Amazon. I'll try to update as we get some more time to check quality.

Are there any for the back of the phone yet? Gorilla Glass 5 scratches so easily I think I want tempered front and back (I prefer no case).

I'd personally go for a slickwraps or dbrand skin for the back of you don't like cases. It'll protect it, and you can get something like a leather to still keep the premium look.
thank you for thread , i hope we found soon good protectors
I hope someone will test out some of the crap on eBay, because I sure as hell am not going to pay 50+ dollars for a screen protector.
I ordered this one personally.

I can leave a review on it once I try it out. I'm hoping that a clear protector will function better than the painted ones I've used with the S7E.

Try it out and let us know. If the one I get isn't that great I'll return it and try something else until I find something that is good enough.
Hi Y´all!
I ordered this one yesterday:
https://shop.brando.com/brando-workshop-full-screen-coverage-curved-glass-protector-samsung-galaxy-note7-transparent_p14575c1547d8.html
I´ve had good experience with Brando for the screen protector for my old trusty SGN3.
But the shape of the screen on the SGN7 has got to be a challenge.
On a flat screen a 10TH of a mm / 5 100TH of an inch doesn´t matter.
Here the shape has to be just right for the sticky coating to make a bubble & distortion free experience.
I saw a screen protector review on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQXq0ewUJtU
This product tried to handle small differences in curvature etc. by only applying sticky coating on the edges.
I would have to agree with reviewer. That doesn´t work.
With 20/20 hindsight I might have thought to ask Brando about this before making the order - Oh well :fingers-crossed:
Regards
Elo
Can't wait to see the results!!

Yeah. I bought one of those but I think it will be exactly as crappy as the YouTube video above shows. Time to look for some plastic variant... ???

Anyone find one for the back yet?

I got this one. It's terrible. Doesn't sit flush, doesn't stick well cos there's only glue around the edges, and not enough of it, doesn't have cut outs for all the optics on the top. I also got a standard screen protector as well, an iqshield, and that's what is on my phone now.

I ordered the same one. Hopefully it will work well.
On the other hand, I currently have a Skinomi one on mine (wet application). I'm using masking tape to hold down the edges as it dries and adheres. So far it's almost invisible because I took my time. No rubbery feel either. If my case works well with it I might not even install the glass one.
Leaving the plastic sticker on the back glass for now, though.
Edit: Just read the comment above mine regarding the same TGSP
FFS enough with the tempered glass screen protectors. They all suck and will always suck.

I think I might go with a skinomi cover for the back of mine. Not sure which color will look best with the coral blue.

So far the IO shield full body is doing its job on mine. Looks good. I have this glass one on order and it should be here today. I'm hesitant on pulling the IO shield off because it's doing it's its job but I have had glass for the last 3 phones and never had a break / scratch. They work much better than plastic.

Lol I meant to write "whose owned". Just got up, sorry.
Either way if I see the screen protector has that tape only on the sides I'll probably just return it.
