So one of the members purchased this and was humble enough to write about it.. thanks andythefan
andythefan said:
I bought the Boxwave anti-glare protector a few months ago and was largely dissatisfied with the way it made the screen look and have since then preferred not having a protector on as well as how expensive it was.
I just received these in the mail and applied it in a few seconds. I was a bit worried when I read that it was normal for these protectors to get scratches themselves, but I was glad I bought these for so cheap.
For me the saying, "you get what you pay for" has always applied when I buy things online, but these are already making an exception.
Short Review:
As soon as I opened the package it seemed like I got a lot more than I for as it includes clear instructions, a small cloth, an applicator and a three layer protector.
Application:
Applying the protector is snap! It virtually applied itself and bubble were an absolute minimum, if any are caught a few swipes of the applicator card took care of them. Amazingly enough I had a lot less bubbles than on my Boxwave protector.
Appearance:
It's as advertised, 100% and virtually invisible. It also minimizes the appearance of smudges and prints, but there are still there.
Feel:
It takes a few seconds to get used to, but after that you can't even tell it's there. Granted it doesn't have the smooth plastic feel that others have, and is more of the glass that is on a stock Nexus, there's less friction on the screen and swiping a slightly easier.
Price:
For a penny for all three (not including shipping), these can't be beat! I'd happily buy these for more that advertised.

They make their money back on shipping.

Any recommendations?
Looking to grab a glass protector from aliexpress but since the phone is relatively new, not sure of anyone's experience there. Previously got one for my S4 there and it was perfect.
Please report/merge if a similar thread already exists! TIA!

I first tried ZAGG glass but then I ended up using Galaxy S5 Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM Privacy. Both were pretty impressive to me. ZAGG has lifetime warranty for spigen I think you only get 90 days both cost the same $39.99 and ZAGG Glass is $34.99 on the website

Yep, aware of the bigger and more common brands. They are also usually more than 5 times the price of an equivalent one from China though!
Wondering if anyone had experience with the glass protectors from the Asian market?
I have used iLoome and Spigen products before and they do not impress me for the price I pay relative to alternatives at that point in time.

Well there's a saying you get what you pay for...pay for something cheap its obviously going to be cheap...if you pay for something that's pricey then most of the time the quality is great but here's some links hopefully it helps!

i have different view on this matter. i'd recommend you to use asian brands because they are economical, yet good quality.
i'm using niilkin tempered glass, it's korean brand, it cost me just 14$ but i'm so satisfied with it, it fits perfectly with s5, finger-print resistance, real glass and super responsive. it's what you see is what you get.
hope it helps you
I ordered this one from DX :

When it arrives I can answer the question.
But it will take at least one more week I guess.

Great glass
I am using the Lunnitt 9H (purchased from Amazon), love it and can't say a thing bad about the protector.
Thanks for the suggestion all!
And if you really think that protector you get for paying the overpriced $30+ is any better than the $5 one... The marketing got you good...
I use baseus, got it for about 15$.
I have it for about a month and a half now and it's still fingerprint resistant, very easy to clean, no scratches, and it's glass so it feels good to touch, i can't stand the plastic films.
I don't intend on finding out about shatter resistance though :laugh:
Got the tech armor one, pretty good and very easy to put on, it was for $15 at amazon
got the glass m
http://theglass-m.com/collections/a...-glass-screen-protector-for-samsung-galaxy-s5
0.2MM thick and feels like the original glass
I got the Hero Glass from Amazon. $15 Awesome! Sorry, can't post a link yet.
Anybody pop off Otterbox defender screen protector and use a glass one? Ive been thinking of trying it but not sure if it will fit. I hate the defender case protector and love the clarity of the glass ones.
Using m-glass. On all devices. Very nice and shipping to Russia cheap. Feel like no protector.
Since Otterbox seems to release their Defenders two months after the phone release, I need case with screen protections built in... No way I am letting this phone go commando for two months... What is the cheapest one you have found?

The Ringke Slim is an excellent thin case that ships with a nice free screen protector. I normally don't use their included screen protector because I prefer glass, but I'm using it now until the glass protector issues are sorted out.
I got it shipped for less than $10 through Amazon Prime.

How's the included screen protector that came with your Ringke Slim? I put mines aside cuz I'm also waiting for a good glass, but debating if I should just slap the free one on.. Do you notice any glare when using your phone outdoor? And how does the edges look with your screen protector on?
It's a perfect cut. To tell you the truth, I'm a little shocked how good it is considering that it was free with the case. The cuts get as close as possible without going into the bended glass portion so no lift issue. This also means you have to get alignment right during install.
As far as glare, didn't notice any. I put it on because I didn't want to rush into buying an unproven glass protector.

I must say that is by far the most impressive Ookla speed test results I've ever seen and by a wide margin.
They haven't been the best lately but something is something when protecting the screen while waiting for something better.
I just put in my order for 3 wet install fronts. I don't see a need or how the backs would stick or work on the v10 textured back.
I used the code giant90 it gives 90% off sitewide and free shipping. Imho for $2.40 shipped why not..
Edit. Oh that car mount is decent enough, if you have a bouncy car though it shakes the phone a lot.
Edit: Previous code expired Nov 8. New code found via google search FALL91 gives 91% off sitewide on x2+ items. SUMMER80 gives 80% sitewide on x1+ items.
EDIT: I got the wet install, the edges are cut out really badly, ended up lifting and gathering lint.
EDIT: I just got the glass screen protectors, off the bat 1 had the smaller potion near the cams broken, a second was snaped in half. The third went on nicely, fits great, looks great and feels great. Except it was leaning against the squeegee in the kit and left and impression on the adhesive side, I didn't notice until I had already put it on. It's really a shame it would have looked nice.
Thanks the site has good stuff.
I've asked them for a tempered glass for our phones because they're so ridiculously cheap with their constant coupons, but they are still hesitant. dbrand isn't doing skins, they don't think the demand is there.

EDIT: 3 spartan class protectors for $8.10, I also like to add the $0.99 rush since it's already so cheap, they usually process it right away.
Just ordered a Spartan tempered shield for $6. Fall91 didn't work but Summer80 did which is 80% off.

I ordered the Spartan Tempered Protector with the Fall91 coupon too, but it made me order two for the coupon to work instead of just one. But even after buying two, after the coupon plus rush Shipping, the grand total was less than the average price for one Tempered Glass Protector on Amazon. Great coupon, and now I have a spare one to boot!
Man I got my wet install screen protectors already. Sent Allan a complaint email. They are just really shotty, the cut is just bad. I used one anyways to protect the screen while I wait for shipment of the Glass protector.
EDIT: Sorry about the detail, I bought 3-5 items, didn't realize it requires 2+ items for FALL91 to work. SUMMER80 works for 1 or more items.
So I have no idea how their products stack up to some of the other top of the line brands, but I have used XtremeGuard tempered glass screen protectors from them before and they worked just fine.
They just released product for the pixel and pixel xl, and are running a sale on it.
All said and done, I got 3 tempered glass screen protectors, 1 full body film with install kit, and one "HI-Def" screen protector, all for $8 shipped.
Even if its not the BEST quality product, It's a steal and probably worth a try, for some backup screen protectors. Use code Giant92 for 92% off along with the sale.
Like I said, I have shopped with them multiple times before and not had an issue. Figured I'd share. Cheers!

I've used them for several devices and never had any problems. Plus at the price, if you have to swap it out a few times in the life of the phone it's not a big deal.
Anyone that got these in already, do they cover the full screen?
Looking at doing this deal also, did they give a shipping estimate ?

To Canada, using the lowest costing shipping option, takes about 2 business weeks once its left their warehouse. I've ordered from them a few times now and it can take a total of 3 weeks from click to delivery. I'm definitely ordering it though as you can't go wrong with the price(at 92% off).

Well that's not good. I don't think there are any better tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon.ca yet though. Sounds like I'll need to wait a bit before buying the Pixel XL.

I emailed XtremeGuard and got this
Me:
I see that the screen protectors for the Pixel and Pixel Xl are now available. I have seen some companies screen protectors don't cover the entire front face of the phones due to the 2.5D glass. Do all three of your protectors(Screen Protector, Spartan Glass, and Hi-Def) cover the entire front of the phone or just to the edge of the screen?
Thanks,
(Me)
Relpy from XtremeGuard:
Not sure what 2.5D glass is to be honest. From what I know, if the phone has beveled edges like iPhone 6/6s/6 Plus/6s Plus/7/7Plus etc. does for example, then our glass and hi-def protectors will only cover the flat parts of the screen. Our regular XtremeGuard protectors will cover everything including any curved/beveled edges. I hope that answers your question.
Let us know if you need anything else.
Thanks

I ordered 1 of each so we will see how well they do I've used their spartan glass and high def protectors on my nexus 5 and liked them. Usually take less than a week to get to me on the east coast.
The high definition one isn't tempered glass though right?

Thanks of the link. I ordered 3 of each to try on our two XL's.
Ive almost always touted their products for just about every device. Its hit and miss sometimes but mostly good stuff, but Allan always hooks you up if theres any issues.
Dont forget to use their coupons, theyre sitewide;
92% off giant92
91% off fall91
80% off real80
if they expire just google xtremeguard coupon for new ones.
I ordered 3 Spartan and 2 Full Body protectors for $8.40 delivered.
