Has anyone heard of anything like this? I'd love a glass screen protector but absolutely require anti-glare.

Don't think so.
What you could do is to get a glass protector, then get a matte screen protector on top of the glass protector.
The main purpose of a glass protector is not sacrificing clarity at all. Anti-glare just defeats the purpose of a glass protector.

My goal with the glass was actually additional impact protection. I was considering doing your idea but saw that Otterbox advertises an impact resistant, matte screen protector:

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Does using a double screen protector where the inner layer is a film protector and the outer is a tempered glass screen protector is SAFE and would not cause decrease in sensitivity and screen visibility problem? Anyone here tried it?

With the gorilla glass on u won't need any screen protectors. I never put any of those on mine. Not even a single scratch yet. And putting them does considerably decrease touch sensitivity and the colours don't look cool!
Not a big fan either of those things. If you have a decent casing for your phone and you handle it with some care you don't need those things.
I got something to share to your guys! Real something! The most strong screen protector film for Galaxy S4.
It's made of very strong nano tempering glass, hardness can reach 9H (the common good screen protector film hardness is 3-4H). set it to your Galaxy S4, no need to worry about the key or some other hard things in your pocket will scratch the screen anymore. Smooth & comfortable touch sense, remove fingerpring, high light transmitting outpu to enable you enjoy watching vedio and playing games!
Just Love It!
Is it just me or is this "benkstech" guy here to advertise products?
Glass to protect my glass? you can just replace the actual screen youself for a fraction of those glass screen protectors for glass screens

What's the thickness of it? I'm using Spigen GlasT Nano Slim which, at .15mm thickness and 9H hardness, is the best glass screen protector out there.

it's .2mm thickness. how long have you used this 9H protector? Is there any aspect fading if it has been used for long time. The 9H protector cost much more than common ones. but i think it worth even i use it only for few weeks.

No, it's not a glass. It's a thin screen protective film, made of different layers. You can install and use it as similar steps with common screen protectors. but far strong from the common protective films.

If its not glass then why does the picture say that one of the layers is tempered glass?

Probably not totally glass. Has an explosion proof layer beneath the glass. Wow! This will come in handy when I'm in an explosive environment! For now though, I stick with Spigen Glas T

You got. Thanks. sorry i didn't clarify clearly. Haha. The explosion layer is for protect the phone screen only. NOT that amazing functions actually(because the screen and the phone is always taken by user'shand, haha).
We all know Tempered glass is really a hit and miss right now....
Dry Plastic protectors are OKish
So how about wet Screen Protectors?
They should be Ok with the 2.5D Screen should they not? As they can stick to the edges!
Anyway here are a few of the good ones!
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-TechSkin-Replacement-Definition-Anti-Bubble/dp/B00L4K9CVI

What the heck is the difference between THIS (a regular HD Screen Protector) and THIS (a tempered glass screen protector)
Reg screen protectors are just thin pieces of film that don't do much protecting against drops, but will prevent minor scratches. Temp glass usually has a hardness of h9 and will save your screen if it takes a bad spill, I know of this first hand. Hopefully the temp glass will cracked leaving your phones screen intact. Temp glass is just better protection all around AND it will prevent your screen from becoming part of the recycling trash on friday. Temp glass has saved me twice, one with a note 4 and once with an LG g3. I would never go back to buying those thin film protectors that do nothing
I don't have first-hand experience with tempered glass protectors, but I do think standard screen protectors offer more protection than twoeleven99 indicated. I used a Skinomi front and back protector on my Nexus 4 (also a glass sandwich), and it adds a nice barrier to the glass. It also has some give, so it absorbs some of the impacts that would otherwise shatter glass.
Another thing I liked is that it adds slightly more grip than glass, preventing drops and slips. It would also be way more practical for the S6 edge, since the wet-apply ones can handle curved screens no problem.
That said, I'm going to give a tempered glass one a shot this time to see if it is more clear (eg: less rainbowing or orange peel effect).
As mentioned already, a tempered glass screen protector will do a better job protecting your phone's screen from damage. They may cost more initially, but they'll last a while. You typically have to change out plastic screen protectors more frequently after light scratches have built up.

I've been using tempered glass screen protectors for the last 2 years. They add thickness, but they're honestly amazing. One thing that I've never really confirmed, but I keep hearing rumors that when dropping a device with a tempered glass screen protector, the energy disperses onto the protector, therefore shattering the protector rather than the phone's screen itself. I never really had a massive drop before to test this out (nor do I have the funds to break my phones), but I have dropped my G2 before, and the corner of the protector cracked while the screen itself was completely fine.
I also like how glass feels compared to PET screen protectors.

I've had the tempered glass completely shatter from one end to the other on 2 devices. Peeled it off and the screen under never had a scratch on it
Hello
Could someone tell me if the protection of the original screen is indeed tempered glass or plastic?
When I put my nail on it I feel that it is a rigid protection, so is it glass?
I would need to know because if it is plastic I prefer to invest in tempered glass .. on the other hand if it is already tempered glass it will save me money. Thank you for your answers
It is plastic film. Better get some decent tempered glass
