Tempered Glass for s4 pros and cons over Film protectors?

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.

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!
Sent from my GS3

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.
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
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

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.

[Q] Any good plastic screen protectors out there?

I haven't seen a "perfect" glass protector yet nor do I want to pay like $30-40. What do you guys recommend for an affordable plastic screen protector? It doesn't have to be completely edge to edge coverage, but I would like it to cover more than just the viewable display portion.

The iloome light has no halo, it's 9h in hardness and can be picked up for under 30 dollars. I've had mine since late February and have had no issues.

I was under the impression that all glass protectors leave halos or if you're lucky enough, few might be halo free. I didn't want to risk that. Does your screen protector stop right at the black display border or extend out a little bit? Also, does it reduce sensitivity if using moderately thick gloves? I already have increased sensitivity on so I can use gloves with the phone in the winter and don't want to lose that feature. Thanks for your suggestion.

The protector stops at the edge of the display. So it's not one of the edge to edge protection protectors.
I don't wear gloves, but if it works with plastic it would work with glass.

If I had another camera I'd take some pictures of mine, but I have no other phone with me.

Invisibleshield HDX, going on 6 months strong. I had the iloome first and it started to lift on the edges or one of the corners.

Are you guys running these screen protectors with a case? I am using an Otterbox Defender like case and wonder if halo issues would increase with that.

Right now I'm using Extreme Guard. So far no problems.Not the best and not the worst. I got mine off of Ebay last week for $1.99 and free shipping.

Do you have the dry or wet version? Is it plasticy or rubbery? The pic of the knife stabbing the screen protector makes me think that it's more rubbery meaning it'll be grippy instead of smooth.

I got the wet. 5 days on it and so far its really nice. Took a few days to settle but that's normal. Go here.....http://www.xtremeguard.com/
They got some good deals going on now.

I've had good luck with the Zagg Hdx. Bought it at Best Buy and had them install it. I believe it was around $18. After about 2 months, it still looks good. Covers to the edge of the screen.
It's not as smooth as glass, but not bad.

Using the Zagg hdx w/ Otterbox Defender for a couple of months, no halo, no lifting. You need to change the S Pen tip to the gray one. Not as smooth as glass has very good fingerprint resistance. I had the iCarez glass & it was a fingerprint/dust magnet to the point I had to remove it.

How is the clarity with the hdx? I noticed a few users saying clarity is reduced like you rainbow/pixely effect. Also that the spen leaves marks?

I guess if you pressed the S Pen hard enough you could mark the hdx but I've not had that problem. Reason you change the tip to the grey one is it glides much better on the hdx. Screen clarity to me is every bit as good as it was with the iCarez glass. I also used the iCarez film before their glass one and that was terrible screen clarity, the hdx is a night & day difference between a film plastic protector. Keep in mind anything less than 9h tempered glass is going to be a compromise. For me the no halo/no lifted edges and the fact that I'm tired of trying to find a glass protector makes the hdx a good compromise.

I also think the clarity is fine on the hdx. I grew tired of going through glass protectors that all had the halo effect too.

I went with the hdx. Not too impressed with it. Some of the edges do not stick fully and I hear some squeaks as I glide my finger across the screen. I also notice a mild rainbowy/pixely effect on white backgrounds.

Excuse my ignorance, just out of curiousity is there a reason you (anyone here) would choose a plastic protector over glass?
In my experience plastic is such a pain always had to have my lady partner apply my plastic ones I would always get those bubbles.. never got them since I moved to glass, and it's so much easier to apply.. just put it on and watch the air run out the sides
Extremely cheap on eBay even though I get the best buy discount. Even got the explosion proof glass so it will be safe if my phone explodes!

I would've loved to chosen a glass protector, but from what I've seen most get halos. Some are lucky and do not get them. Also they are priced a lot higher. Which glass are you using?

Right now all the screen protectors are bad.
Until they come up with a new and improved version, assume all are bad.
I've tried two on Amazon and got the exact same results.
I asked for and received a refund both times.

That's the only decent screen protector that fits right now. There's also a matte finish one. It's not tempered glass, but you get 8. The fit is much better than all of the tempered glass ones on Amazon. It's not 100% perfect as tiny bit of the edge don't stick but you won't notice from the distance unlike the current tempered glass.

If any part of a screen protector doesn't stick then all manner of stuff will get stuck in between. For those w/ colored borders, that's not much of an issue but completely clear ones will eventually show all the dust and stuff on it.

The essential screen isn't flat. I don't see a viable glass protector coming. It'd have to be super thin with a really strong adhesive to make it stick to the sides.

Actually much like the iPhone, it's flat until you get to the edge.
If the current round of protectors was 2mm smaller they would fit.
But for me, it doesn't matter.
I'm returning the phone.

There's still a thin bezel on the side that can handle adhesive on it so if they release one with black borders, I'd get it as the black borders won't show the halo effect even if it's not completely stuck on the outer edges. That's what I have on my iPhones. The display area is glass while the borders are plastic so they flex more.

Jus wait for the accessories to start coming out. Sounds like essential is open to 3rd parties making cases and screen protectors... So just got to hold on...this is what it sounded like from the reddit AMA

I have a Sopi 3M matte skin on the back and it helps with the grip a little but not by much... definitely helps w/ the fingerprints though... lol since it's matte, there can be visible smudges from time to time depending on how dirty/sweaty your paws are... I did read the AMA and they should've worked w/ case manufacturers long before release. I understand they want to keep it close to their vest until release (as to not tip off the competition) but they didn't ship the phone until much later than they said they would so in that time they could've sent out the outside schematics/dimensions to case manufacturers. No excuse!

The situation is the same for any devices that have curved edges. I'm not sure why companies just don't apply adhesive to the whole screen protector. A solution is using UV glue on a glass screen protector that isn't fully covered with adhesive. I've used the Whitedome on my Galaxy S8+ and it works really well. You should be able to buy the UV glue and UV lamp from Amazon and apply it to any glass screen protector. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KZmF8uQESI

S10e screen protectors

Which one do you recommend for the S10e? Right now I'm still using the default protector which was applied by Samsung, but I don't really like it.

i ordered one on ebay but i have a feeling it's flat not edge to edge full cover for 10e. They use generic photoshopped stock photo for all 3 models and claim it's curved. I think 10e has 2.5D edge. Not completely flat. I'm also using the garbage thin film they included. For $800 scumsung could include high quality glass and case. I also ordered glass for rear cameras. Never seen or used one before. Not sure what to expect.

tried ESR tempered glass and MP mall tempered glass from amazon
both do not stick on side, ESR is off by like 0.75 mm because of 2.5D curve of glass, it does not stick on side. so dont waste your money on these two, i am still looking for one may be just a bit smaller than ESR.
temporarily ordering a film protector till i find a tempered glass which fits right.

I'm using the PureGear HD Clear Tempered Glass Screen Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7S174H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_byaHCbZY5Q1N0
It only has adhesive on the edges so there is no bubbles. It is case friendly and is a decent alternative to the whitedome which remains the superior choice for the 2.5D screens.

how is touch sensitivity and does is create rainbow effect like some tempered glass with adhesive on side do?

Keep in mind aftermarket screen protecters (especially glass ones) will have problems with the fingerprint reader.
Im using the samsung one for now until some testing and revising is done

No rainbow effect and if you increase touch sensitivity in the settings it works great. I have no real complaints.

which non-glass protector do you guys recommend?

Yes, that's exactly what you are seeing. The S10e does indeed have a factory installed plastic screen protector. You can really feel it around the camera as there's a cutout for the camera. I would expect it to scratch rather quickly, plus I don't think it provides nearly as much drop protection as a tempered glass one might.
I'm following along here hoping that there does wind up being an economical tempered glass screen protector that works well and doesn't life at the edges. Seems like this will be similar to my S7, where I was never really able to find something that works and just went naked.

Thank you for the response I've just been so confused with everyone saying the S10 and S10+ have one but not the S10e. I think you're right it is just a polyurethane plastic protector. And just a heads up I tried to apply a tempered glass protector over top of it and it definitely made it hard for the edges to stick.

I had the same confusion. All of the media I've seen say the pre-installed one is only on the S10 and S10+, but if you look around the camera on the S10e, there's clearly a cutout that confirms there is a pre-installed screen protector on there. I'm still not exactly sure how to get it off. I picked around the edges a bit and nothing is coming up easily.
I'm not sure how well the edges of a tempered glass one will stick even if you took off the pre-installed one. I haven't seen any reports of an economical one that works yet. I think I'm going to be in the same boat as I am with my S7 and be forced to go without one.

my factory installed screen protector is starting to show some scratches and wear. Getting near desperate trying to find a good affordable screen protector for the s10e

I ordered an Alinsea glass protector from amazon, sounds like a knock off of a Whitestone from their description. It doesn't have a cut out for the front facing camera, which is great, as a cut out just seems to collect pocket lint. I have not received it yet.

Any full screen tempered glass without the black border around it?

I tired multiple ones either their too big and causes halo effect or too small , so i opted for ones with black border and i am happy with it and so i would suggest goto a local shop check it out so you can see size .

I bought multiple screen protectors but gadgetshieldz offered amazing screen protector. Yes it is not tempered glass but its quality is really good and the phone feels slimmer since its not a tempered glass. If you dont have butter fingers and your phone doesnt fall often then go for it.

I tried all the variants and brands on the market. Finally settled on using a hydrogel screen protector. It is not available on any online stores but local shops definitely have them. Though it may not provide the drop protection that glass protectors provide, it is resistant to scratches and you will not even know it's there. It covers the front from edge to edge. Again, it is not very high on shatter level protection but it is great for light users like me.

Try looking for TG's for Lenovo Z5 Pro/Z5 Pro GT.
It have the same dimensions as our device.

I purchased one from glazedinc. It costs about 495, I know it'a a bit steep, but for what it's worth it covers the entire display and has real 2.5d on the edges. It really feels like using the phone without a tampered glass. From what I heard as it covers the entire screen it also provides better drop protection.

I got one from a local shop for Rs.80 ($1.10). No black borders, covers the screen display portion exactly.
