Hey ya ppl , first of all sorry if my english is not all good , i'm from spain.
I recently owned a S4 ( less than a month ago ) and i'm very impressed , it's better than i thought . The problem is that , though I've been very careful with it ( my gf have said in a couple of times that i love more it than her haha this can make u guess how careful i'm with it ) some small few scratches have appeared on the gorilla glass . They're not visible when screen's on but with blocked or off screen and playing with light reflects they are visible and they **** me off cuz i have been very careful with it and It piss me off everytime i see those scratches . First day I see them i started searching on google to someway to remove them , and I jumped to some topics where ppl said it was some method with toothpaste to remove them... so in my desperation I tried that and ( as I should expected ) not only the scratches wasn't gone , in fact there were more little little scratches around the other product of rubbing the toothpaste in circles on the screen. Searching the internet for the best screen protector and protector case i've arrived to the Spigen slim armor view and Spigen glass TR , which though are expensive seems to be the best or one of the best ones on the market.I know also there're some screen protectors that hide or cover the scratches on the original screen , since those scratches I have are only esthetic and doesnt affect in anyway the screen quality or performance , I would be happy If some screen protector could hide or cover them . My question then is , anybody know if that Spigen GLASS tR , which seems to be one of the best screen protectors on the market , is also good on hidding or covering pre existing scratches on the original screen (in our case the gorilla glass 3 glass) ??? thanks in advance and I hope somebody can help me cuz I wanna order some glass protector and I wanna be sure that It would solve my problem. Thanks again and sorry for the big post lol :laugh:
c'moon , UP!

My guess is that if the scratches are only visible at certain angles in the light (i.e. very light scratches, not deep ones) the glass screen protector will probably cover them up because it will change the way the light reflects ever so slightly that the scratches will not be visible. It's only a guess, but even if they don't at least the screen protector will prevent more scratches. You should have gotten a screen protector from the very beginning.

Yes mate of course that was my intention , i made an order by internet BEFORE getting the phone guessing i would recive it ( the case and protector ) 2 days or so before getting the phoen , so I will take too much care and so till then . The problem is that 3 weeks have gone and I still haven't received the fuking order , so in that time , i dont know how , small scratches have appeared...well as u say those scratches are only visible at certain angles and with light ( like sunlight ) so I hope glass TR protector will hide them . Since its only an esthetic question ( cuz the performance is the same , those scratches doesnt affect on anything the screen performance or quality) it would be a good fix if the protector hides them. Thanks for the answer
I feel you brother, the tiniest of scratches will piss me off, even if they are only visible at a certain angle in light. Luckily I didn't get any before my glass arrived. All i got to say is once you use a tempered glass screen protector you'll never want to use a regular screen protector ever again.

OP, been thinking about also buying the spigen Slim Armor View and that screen protector. Do you have them both? Do you recommend the case also? They are pretty expensive... But I broke my S3 glass (with the Samsung original protective cover plus on) and don't want it to happen to my new S4...
Where do you live and much did it take to get there?

On the 1st post you wrote " Searching the internet for the best screen protector and protector case i've arrived to the Spigen slim armor view and Spigen glass TR"
The scratches occurred because the black version of the case you bought is glossy. In the Slim Armor View the black is matte.

Hey guys, new here!
So I've been researching a lot on screen protectors and based on my past experiences with screen protectors, I love Spigen's Ultra Crystal and Ultra Fine, but I've been really loving the look/feel the glass protectors give off. So my question is, what do you guys personally think is the best? I've read that Bodyguardz Pure has a better oleophobic coating than Spigen's GLAS.t/tR. I've pretty torn, I really love the round borders for anti-chip reasons, what do you guys think?

I could never again put ghost armor on the screen of any phone I own. The feel of that crap compared to the Spigen glass protector is worlds apart. Now the sides and the back, I would still consider since that doesnt matter to me as much.
Spigen makes top notch screen protectors and since these are full adhesive I would use the Glas.T or Glas.TR
Please feel free to take a look at my complete tempered glass list thread: Link here
I personally purchased iLoome due to best glass hardness (both black and clear, I will see which one looks better).

Did you install the ghost armor when you had it? Just asking because I been using the ghost armor on my last three cells and I loved it. Never had any issues... I personally did not install it the worker in the booth I go to at the mall always installs mine.

I always had the employees install the ghost armor. Ghost armor is decent, but if you ran your fingers across the spigen glass screen protector and your ghost armor I just feel like its night and day difference. The spigen truly feels like the phone has no screen protector on it. I also know for a fact that over time the ghost armor/zagg they start to develeop nicks, etc. I dont know if the spigen will show any wear over a period of time but I tend to believe it wont. This is my first experience with the glass on my phone as I have been a fan of the Invisible Shield HD ones for my last few devices.

One question: what's the point in having a screen protector if the glass of our S4 is already scratch-proof?
It's something i always asked myself. I once used to put plastic screen protectors on my phones but now i stopped and i had never had a scratch on the screen of any of em.

That's great. It doesn't help at all with the discussion about the best glass screen protector though.
Side note: Some people don't want to take the chance. Sand will scratch the screen. You have been lucky to not get a scratch, but it can and will happen most of the time. Happened to me on an original HTC Vogue and I have been all screen protector all the way since. My last 5 phones have never had anything touch the actual screen except for a micro fiber cloth haha.

There's no such thing as a "scratch-proof" glass - only scratch resistant.
Take some sand and rub it on your phone. The kind of thing that happens when you put your phone in your pocket after being on the beach for any period of time (or four wheeling in the dunes, or whatever).
The screen protector is a sacrificial layer. If/when it does get scratched, you toss it and put another one on...
Not to mention drops as well..
I've used Zagg's Invisible Shield on all my smartphones. Have the HD on my S4 right now, but find the Tech Armor ballistic glass ones pretty intriguing.
Hello,
I am wondering if there are any screen protector out there, that cover only the screen? Like the one you get with the slickwraps if you buy skins for, lets say the G4? https://slickwraps.com/leather-series-wraps-skins-for-lg-g4.html
I mean the screen protector that goes OK with the front skin applied?
Thanks!
If you know for any good ones that cover ALMOST the whole screen, I am up for that too!
I know that Nillkin CP covers the whole, but I don't like it.. So any other that is similar to that,..?
I purchased a full screen protector a few months ago, worked flawlessly. I ended up cracking it and replaced it with one from the same ebay seller, now my case causes it to flex and pull away from the screen. I bought a spare just in case, that one too, has the same issue. I ended up buying one that wasnt a full screen protector to leave room for the case lip.
Following the other thread on screen protectors, i grabbed this guy:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VT8CP6Y
No halo effect, allows nicely for a case (i use a Spiegn Tough armor for reference). It does extend above and below the screen, but should be pretty close to what you are wanting, while not looking like grabage at the same time..
Was also looking for something similiar so I just read around. Just ordered this myself:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4N0EI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
So once I get it in ~2 days I can report back.
Thanks for all the replays guys! @Divine_Madcat @FiniteDGk @custommx3
I have order the Spigen Neo Hybrid Ex bumper, as my Dbrand skin for the back came today, and I love the look of it. (I saw a video on YouTube a while ago for this combination, and I've fallen in love with it... So now I am waiting for that to come..
What I want is basically a screen protector that does not look to funny when it's on..
I've had Orzly on my OnePlus One, but it cracked from nowhere.. I swear I watch all of my phones, as I am very allergic to scratches, lol. It started to collect to much of dust and I was using it together with the Diztronic TPU case (I thought that was match made in Heaven at that time)..
S6 Is by far the best phone I've tested so far, the only thing that drives me crazy is to protect the screen..
I want a screen protector that play's nice with the bumper as its Spgien same as yours I assume it will play out nice. @Divine_Madcat
Anyway I've ordered Nillkin tempered glass (Not the CP one) from Aliexpress, I hope it is Original (It should be).. And I really hope it will play nice with the bumper, and look decent.

Ordered Mocolo Glass for S6 ?
I get all mine from Xtremeguards and love them. I have had them on every phone I have had in the past few years. You can always find a 99% off code or 98% off code as well.
Try imos glass protectors. They are a Taiwanese company that use corning gorilla glass and AGC glass , and have no halo issues . They even have 3d curved glasses for s6 edge that covers the 3ntire screen including edge. Crazy ! Check out my S6 with IMOS AGC glass with no halos :

I hate to ask this question again, but it's really hard to find a screen protector that goes from edge to edge. This kind doesn't protect the whole screen.
Does anyone have a screen protector that goes from edge to edge? I don't care if it's plastic or glass, but hopefully, it's on amazon as I am trying to get one in the next few days instead the next few months. {Looking at you chinese sellers of ebay.}
I have this case by TPU Gel.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I didn't know that of glass protectors. How long does it take for the glass to break down from the corners?
I have only used a screen film or the plastic protectors once on my last phone for two years, and it held up quite well. But it did start to lose a layer or two of the screen protector after heavy use. But I don't mind this at all, I just need something to protect the phone and I'll replace it after another two years if I am still using said phone.
I am still looking for suggestions from people who has already bought protective screens for their Honor 8.

Isn't this the same thing as the two links below? Hopefully not, those reviews aren't that good. I saw that your link was posted before in another thread. I may just buy it as well, but I don't want to be without a protector for over a month.

if u buy edge to edge u'll get it bricked fast cause it will be raised out of edges !if ur phone fall in any side it will brick ,
it should have small gap like couple millimeters before edge
I don't use plastic films since I know de glass protectors. Plastic films can't protect of a fall or big scratches. And it's very unconfortable !
With the glass : really good protection, the touch is very comfy, and the scratches even the big ones can't does anythig to the screen. BUT, when we have a screen like the one of the Honor 8 (it's called 2.5D, it's a bit curved) you can't have protection on the extremes edges cos they can't do a curved glass.
Sorry for my bad english.
I'm using a plastic film protector because the glass protectors cannot cover the entire screen.
I received mine with my Nilkin cover and have had it on for about a month and so far the scratches that are on it are very superficial and cannot be seen when the screen is on (and barely when it is off).
It's not as good as glass when it comes to scratch resistance but it sure does the job well.
Beware of cheap protectors as they wear out quicker according to my experience.

Buy this one. It is supposed to be soft and should cover the whole screen. Mine got delivered to the wrong address so I am ordering it again. The glass protectors are absolutely crappy for 2.5d edges. Https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...i-explosion-screen-protector/32723814105.html
Get this case as well. I have it currently and its awesome. Doesn't add to the bulk and looks perfect on the phone. A lot better than the tpu one I ordered earlier.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Msv...oth-Matte-Cover-Hard-PC-Back/32749624891.html
Plastic is cheaper to bulk buy and if it scratches or the ends peel off it can be replaced, glass can crack easily depending on how much you're willing to spend on a screen protector and the brand name

I actually bought the cover and received a plastic screen protector with it. Here's the link: NILLKIN super frosted shield case for huawei Honor 8 case back cover case with 1 screen protector as gift
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/32700318450/32700318450.html
I've attached a picture of the screen protector.
+1 for the Nilkin glass screen protector Doesn't quite cover edge to edge and about 1.5mm aren't fully adhered around edge leaving a bit of that 'halo' effect, but it doesn't bother me. Screen is well protected, the small gap is really just cosmetic.
Currently using it with This. The front edge is raised quite a bit so can't feel the edge of the screen protector at all.
So i received it today and I've put it now. It looks very cool. But unfortunately I put it a little bit wrong. Delivery time was around 20 days. I'm really happy

I'm thinking of testing panzer glass, but it's spendy I think.
The curved screen is scary from either a responsive perspective or getting dust under if a protector isn't curved I think

edit: I received the Set at Saturday and installed it today. The Installation-process is a little bit tricky, you must extremly pay attention for unnecessary Loca wich squezzes out around the edges and the speakerholes. It must be removed before you start with the curing. im very satisfied with this kind of glass-protector, it looks and feel like the original Glass and yes, in my case its casefriendly, but you must check it out before you applie the Glass with the Loca.

I agree, Eugene was very helpful as the first set I had the loca was starting to become loose so Eugene sent me another set of glass and loca but I had problem with the loca not spreading evenly and again Eugene sent me another set and this time it was much better! I can say the support provided was top notch and I'm very happy with the support.
Thanks for the recommendation. Ordered the sgfreshidea last night... Now to find a skin for the back to give it some grip
Put the protector on, and it does fit with the Sony flip case. However, both the glass protectors they sent say they're for the xz3, but the camera cutout does not line up. Sent them a message via whatsapp, so we'll see what happens.
6 months later, are you still all happy with the sgfreshidea screen protector?
Any new suggestion? also does anyone know if the SGFreshIdea glass is compatible with the spigen case?
So i am replying myself.. The spigen case probably wont be compatible with the specific glass. Seller said that the fit would be very very tight.
So i tested a ScreenKnight screen protector. The result is really really good. Let it dry ( it was a wet install ) for 5 hours and the spigen case fitted great. Next day i removed some bubbles with a credit card and now is nearly perfect ( some rainbow effect on some spots and hope it will dry out ) .
I know its not a tempered glass but its far better than nothing
I need a good quality screen protector for my GT Neo 2 and I don't want any cases because the back of the phone looks so cool.

Use a thick case and a good tempered. Try to look for the tempered in local shops.
A guy here by mistakenly got his screen broken. It DID have a tempered, but the tempered and the screen, both broke.
The most accurate reason for this must be the SHOCK due to FALL.
Thus a strong and heavy duty cover becomes imminent!
I quite like the Nillkin range of products and have been using their gel cases for a while now - awesome quality, kept my phones safe when they have fallen and has extra grip on the side.
So naturally I went to take a look what htye have for the GT Neo 2, although no clear case unfortunately. As you said, the phone looks cool so a clear case would be great to show off the look!
I have found some clear TPU / soft gel cases online but they look like very plain, simple cases without any extra protection or grip.

nillikin ones are, in my eyes badly overpriced. spigen and ringke are far better, but then they dont make for realme sadly...
If importing the Nillkin cases, the price is not too bad as it is cheaper than buying a case locally in South Africa.
I will keep Spigen and Ringke in mind for next time. Will need to wait and see what becomes available for the GT Neo 2.
A big frustration of mine is that a lot of screen protectors no longer fully cover the screens on most phones - is it just me or have others noticed this as well?

Then you can try a liquid screen protector from Gadgetshieldz where they provide good quality protectors because it covers all over the edge of the phone's display. This protector gives good protection against scratches and cracks and also, it has a self-healing feature that heals most of the scratches on the protector. This interested me to buy it!

I don't want to use a case to hide the good-looking back but I'll try a transparent case, thanks for the recommendation!

you can do yes, but back is glass, so best to get a durable case. cuz if it falls, back and front, both being glass can break easily.
buy one which is shockproof to some extent.

Yeah, I looked into Spigen but they don't provide screen protector for Realme Gt neo 2.

Thanks for the recommendation, I visited the website and it is affordable, and is the self-healing actually works because it is new for me.

Yeah, as steve mentioned above the screen guard will self-heal the scratches that occur on it. So I asked him if it actually works!

I dont think any such stuff exists lol
I have heard the self healing does work, however not all that well on larger scratches.
Those hydrogel type of screen protectors apparently do not offer as great impact resistance as a tempered glass screen protector.
Overall, I heard that the tempered glass screen protectors are better when it comes to protecting the screen on your phone. The hydrogel ones are cheaper though and can work well at protecting your screen from scratches and will heal the small scratches.

Self-healing does work on my screen guard but it doesn't heal the scratches 100%, it just makes the scratches less visible after a day or two.
