Looking for best water screen protector - Galaxy S 5 Accessories

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.

oh ok, well I've never used them but from what i've look up on them, they seem to add a bit of thickness to the screen does it not? also there can be issues with certain cases as well?

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.

Screen Protector

I just got my one s and don't really have the money for the warranty. After reading around I think the BALLISTIC SG hard cover case is the way to go but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on screen protectors. I'm looking for some cheap ones w/ anti-glare. Any thoughts about invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG?

Yup, I tried Zagg just because I got their headphones for $10 if I bought the shield. I took it off after a week, the orange peel affect is horrific. I also noticed it was a lot thinner than Ghost Armor, not sure if that's matters in normal situations though.. lol

I've just purchased the BestSkinEver screen-only protector.
had the full phone BSE skin on my N1, and couldn't fault the protection.
It did peel on the corner pieces, which is why I've gone for the screen-only one this time.

Hey y'all, noob here, just got my One S the other day, and just got my Diztronic case from Amazon today, love it! Those screen protectors that come with it are crap tho, and was looking into the Ghost Armor. I've had unpleasant results with the Zagg shields in the past, and the Ghost Armor seems to be pretty popular.
One other question, is anyone using the full-body GA skin in addition to a regular case, such as the Diztronic or Incipio? Just curious. Thanks!

I've never had the ghost armor full body, but I did had zagg full body and it didn't peel up. Once you let it dry it sticks pretty well, just don't put a case on it for at least 24 hours maybe more to let it dry.
I'd imagine Ghost Armor would be better, their screen protector is soooo much better than Zagg's.
I actually need to get a replacement from Ghost Armor, for some reason the bottom part keeps wanting to come up.
I´am using the antireflex protector from mumbi and i´am very happy with it. Feels good and looks really pretty.
how it looks GhostArmor Clear for the back ? any pic ?
i'm surprised no one mentioned htc's own screen protector for the one s. there are a few sellers on ebay from uk selling them. i picked up a couple awhile ago for about USD$9 shipped.
Got my Ghost Armor (screen only) today, and just applied it. Took 2 tries, but I nailed it on the second attempt, got it perfectly lined up. I've been going back with the little squeegee and squishing out some of the smaller little bubbles over the last hour or so, and as long as you get the squeegee wet, it works pretty well to smooth out the little guys. So far, I like it a lot, doesn't have that rubbery-drag feel of the Zagg I had on my G2, or the orange peel. I'll report back in a day or so to update.
krusell
I got a KRUSELL screen film for my one S a couple of days ago and I'm thrilled with it. It is completely transparent and does not affect in any way the brightness and colors, and it doesn't have that squeaky feel.
I had an invisible shield on my previous Desire for about 8 months, it's good if you are a frequent phone dropper but if not it makes your screen uglier, it's like heaving sweat on it all the time and also affects the touch sensitivity.
All in all, would definetly recommend the Krusell.
Alright, so I made it about 5 days, and I think I'm ditching the screen protector. Yes, the peace of mind of the added protection is nice, but to be honest, I'm not really worried about it enough to keep this. I had my HTC G2 for almost 2 years, which didn't even have Gorilla Glass, and by the time I sold it, it had ONE hardly noticeable scratch in the top-left corner of the screen.
The Ghost Armor goes on relatively simple enough, but in 3 applications, I've found it impossible to keep at minimum 2-3 specks of dust out from under it when I go to smooth it down, which create a bubble you CANNOT get rid of, and I can feel them under my fingertips when scrolling around on the screen. For someone as anal as myself when it comes to things like this, these make my head want to explode. I'm also noticing around the edge of the film (which doesn't extend all the way to the edges of the screen, and I find this to be really lame), it's gathering dust and finger... gunk. Finally, and I might be alone in this, but I think it takes the sharpness of the display away. Not to a hugely noticeable amount, but it's there, and it bugs the hell out of me.
Any nice cases that are comparable to outerbox but with a lens protector?

Sucks. Feels and performs great, but causes a pixellated rainbow 'shimmer' on the screen, highly annoying. Might try some of the others in this thread to see.

I think all matte protectors do that to the One S, I've tried a few different types and they've all been the same.

Screen Protector?

Just wondering if you use one or not on the GS3. My first GS3 didn't have one on it, and it magically gained 3 large scratches in the screen (always was left in a pocket alone, nothing else). I had one on my 2nd GS3, but I am now on my 3rd (2nd one had dead pixels) and wondering if I should just rough it out without one, or get one again.
Also if you got one, where from, and how do you like it?
Thanks
I got one from my bro so i dont know what brand it is. But i can tell you it came in a pack of like 3 and it sucks. Rainbow affect ruins the screens potential. Look like its kinda snowy and the feel isnt nice

Screen protectors are more trouble than their worth in almost all cases. If you manage to get it on without putting absolutely hideous bubbles on the screen, then you'll be left with something that just makes the screen "rainbowy" and terrible looking. Second skin doesn't do this but then it makes the screen rubbery and grippy feeling, not smooth like it should be. Protectors also seem to enhance fingerprints making them highly visible. Scratches? I wouldn't worry too much about that with gorilla glass 2 - http://youtu.be/wT8xI4PEU8c

I've used the SGP Ultra Nanos and don't like them. Within a month quite a lot had peeled away from the phone. I think this is going to be an issue with all thin film protectors that the industry seems to prefer with this model (slightly curved display surface).
I purchased an XGear Spectre and really like it. It's a tempered glass surface. Very easy to mount and hasn't peeled or scratched despite subjecting it to the same rigors as my previous SGP Ultra Nano. Nor do I expect it to peel in the future because it's pretty think (0.4 mm) and rigid. Apparently it's think enough that it doesn't fit all cases (I don't use a case). The field of view is essentially unaffected and the glass has excellent optics. At $35 with shipping, it's definitely more of than investment than thin film protectors, but I consider it a good value given the advantages.
I got the ones from samsung at the verizion store when i got my phone (the first day they had them or second)
The dude put on the first one for me and still looks great barley tell its there and its custom fit to phone
Price tag is 14 bucks but he gave it to me and it did go on very nicely no bubbles or discoloring
I don't use one, I'm just careful not to put anything in the same pocket that could scratch it
Same I use the one from the Verizon store 12 bucks, it didn't effect the viewing, it's a dry install and almost no bubbles when done, and you get 3.

I put on 20 of the verizon ones everyday. Done correctly there are no bubbles, no lint and hold up well. Seeing all the hideous home jobs applications, the glossy texture of zags and the anti glare versions I can see why they get a bad rap.

also, you guys getting the grainy and rainbow effects, it's because you're using anti-glare protectors. they suck. the clear ones are better.

atFolix Clear Screen Protector - Unboxing and Review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TTgyIySIjA&feature=youtu.be
[If you enjoyed please leave a like and a thanks?]
Bought from atFolix on amazon.
Pros:
Fits with case
-Doesn't lose any screen quality
-Comes with 3 protectors for the front and 3 for the back
-Cuts are perfect
-Cheap compared to other nice screen protectors
-Comes with all the good accessories (to make the screen clear and take of the bubbles)
Cons
-Not the easiest screen protector to apply, I guess it is also my fault that I'm not really handy in those things!
You can buy it here:

Or at their website:

I'm rocking one of these. Took all 3 of the front protectors to get it right (my fault as I haven't applied a protector for years).
The rear was no problem, using it with a ringke fusion and no lifting from the protector.
Have small scratch on the protector so will have to get another pack soon.
All in all a bargain at the price

I have the slightly frosted/matte effect ones by the same company. They're absolutely fine. Took a bit of work to fit them properly but they've kept my n4 in tiptop shape. I dropped it on a hard floor today, expected the worst and all was fine - not the first time. I suspect these films are helping there to some degree. Buy them. V good value!

I know this MSRP's for more than $20, but i have seen them on Ebay got for $20-25. It is a glass screen protector.
I have one and think they are amazing. I have dropped my phone onto it's face in gravel from ear height and this protected my factory glass. In my opinion, id rather break one of these then the factory glass because it is a paint in the butt to replace the factory glass.

iloome flex for s4. About $16 - a little over your budget but worth it.

I agree - I have the iLoome and after I put one on mine, my daughter insisted on one. It also went on easier and more bubble-free than any film protector I've ever dealt with.

How is it? I am thinking of picking up one of these?
How is the install? I always mess up my screen guards..
I got this one on my screen http://www.eforchina.com/v/159029
For the price, I wasn't expecting much but it works flawless Got it on my screen 2 months now and it doesn't distort the screen and looks cool on it
I got this for 99 cents shipped on ebay. Wasn't expecting much but I was surprisingly happy with the fitment and quality.

go for a tempered glass on ebay for $10
I got a skinomi from amazon. I think it was like 7 bucks. Lifetime warranty supposedly. I like it, it doesn't have the drag my old zagg's used to have when I move my finger around. It is a wet application, but it works, so I don't really have any complaints.

I made a mistake of purchasing skinomi for my late iphone 4s. The supposed lifetime warranty is a load of baloney. Such a hassle to convince them that I needed replacement as the corners started to peel. And after days of dispute, I got my replacement but they wanted me to pay for shipping. $3 shipping on a $10 product. Never again. But your experience may differ.

Good to know about the warranty. That's partially why I said supposedly. I guess I haven't had it long enough to know the long term quality. For a short term cheap screen saver it seems to be pretty good.

Awesome, good luck. My first one did not apply well, it had some weird line-defect in it. Got a new one, and i love it. I've been using it about 5 weeks now, and I don't have any scratches or marks on it. A plastic screen protector would be scratched up in a few days.
I keep my phone in my jacket pocket, or back pants pocket.
I've been really happy with it.
Got a zagg only because its the only one Best Buy offered when i got my phone. Will definitely be getting the spigen tempered glass one next payday. I hate the feeling of screen protectors (especially zagg, feels like an orange peel). Glass is the only way to go. IMO its an expensive phone, no need to be a cheap charlie when it comes to protecting the screen. Just my .02 cents. 30 bucks for a tempered glass one that will fit properly isnt much.

Agreed. I have plastic on my tablet. just flipping and closing the smart cover is enough to cause huge scratches on it.
I love the iSmooth ones, i bought them from amazon

sorry for the late response. install was a breeze. I did however manage to get some dirt on the adhesive side of the glass right before I was about to place it on and freaked out for a bit after realizing the back side is pretty sticky and you cant simply wipe dirt off of it. Thankfully I had some sticky notes nearby and used the sticky side of the note and padded the adhesive side of the glass and it grabbed all the dirt right off

I didn't have this one but It went great.
What I did was do it after a hot shower (steamy), cleaned the screen with the included cloth and used the included stick repeatly to remove all dust.
when I see no dust on there, I quickly pealed off the red tab and aligned it before applying pressure and sticking it in place.
you can get a tempered glass S4 screen protector for $7 on ebay.. select US ONLY

How is Skinomi tech glass?

Is it worth the price? It's more expensive than the others. How is the quality? Doors it stick well?
i have been using skinomi tech glass for a few years now. imo, they are hands down the best tempered glass screen protectors available. i have it on my 6p and it's awesome. i also go the skin, to keep the body and camera protected. it was cheap enough to include. they always have black friday sales too.
of the 6 or so that i have and have tried for the 6p, the skintomi is my favorite. best edge to edge protection and very easy install
Any problems with the proximity sensor when using this? Thx
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
none whatsoever. i actually had the original version they shipped and had no issues with it. then they contacted me to say they had a revised one and they were shipping it to me at no charge. no issues with that either. it's perfect
It's a very good Tempered Glass. I posted pics a while back and I'm using it currently with no issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63577971&postcount=697
Is it available for purchase in the United Kingdom ?
The Skinomi TechSkin glass shield for the 6p is perfect and super easy to install and also lot less expensive than Zagg..

I have been buying $5-6 tempered glass ones on ebay. Don't think brand makes a difference or price. In the end they've always done the job and felt better than plastic.

This is one brand I have been using on my last few phones and they always held up good against scratches and other issues. Always felt smooth and easy to clean. I don't see the point in paying over $5-8 for these things really. $20-30 for them like some manufactures makes is not justifiable at all...especially when you can mess up putting it on like getting dust or fingerprints under them.

Mines fine. You might of got finger print grease underneath. I messed up my first one because of that. the 2nd one has been flawless. Maybe your phone is bent? Think I have seen reports of that.
Just installed one of these in place of a Techskin screen protector this am. Very easy installation and it fits great.
I've been using Skinomi for my last 3 phones. They are an awesome company. The glass doesn't have bubbles underneath like some of the others. They are so nice, if you have an issue they are quick to send you another 1.
I see people say the Skinomi is edge to edge, but how edge to edge is it? I usually use pretty slim cases and don't want a large gap.
Thanks!

Go up to my post (#6) and click the link. I posted a picture with it on already a while back.
It is pretty close to it. I am using it with the Unicorn Beatle case and it is an awesome combo.
