Tab S 10.5 screen protector best options

Lucky for me I paid the extra for insurance when my bought my Tab S 10.5 because my GF tossed it from the bed to my computer chair with its Samsung book cover on and the magnet flap opened and it hit face down shattering the screen.
I am wondering what the difference in protection screen protectors offer. Tempered glass seems cool, but does it have any downside? Thanks for any advice.

Tampered glass screen protectors are the best as compared to plastic ones. But they won't protect the screen from shattering. They don't have any downside. Look for glass screen protectors that have oleophobic coathing, that significantly reduces the fingerprints, smudges.

highly recommend this one.. I have it for my tab 8.4 and a cracked appeared on my. Skinomi is sending me a replacement free of charge. I also had glass protector on my phone and it helped from shattering. only the glass protector broke. But I guess it all depends on the impact.

Durable Galaxy S6 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Planning to get the Galaxy S6 instead of Edge due to price, anyways happy about the design and look of the Galaxy S6 I think its time to upgrade to this one instead of going for the Note 4.
I want to buy a good tempered glass screen protector my S4 suffered some micro scratches and I regret not having a screen protector on it. What do you think is the best brand with a durable screen protector for the Galaxy S6 or any other phone it’s my first time to buy one, need help.
Need a Tempered Glass and not just a film, here are my top choice
Zagg
Luvvit
iCarez
TechArmor
Found this one so far looks promising but not sure about the brand
Ultra Thin Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S6
Any other suggestions?

I like magnaworks screen protector works well I think

Nillkin Tempered Glass screen protector would be a fine solution.

+1 for Nillkin. They have been great for me so far

Zerolemon's

Is there some who got informations about some glass screen that have one for the back included ?
I don't wanna hide this beauty behind a case

Not yet..

Does the back need tempered glass protection too in order for it not to crack?

Don't hope so...

I think its the same gorilla glass in the back and in the front so yes, if you're gonna put a screen in the front, it seems logical to put one on the back too.
EDIT: Nillkin tempered glass front screen + non-glass back screen available on ebay. Just bought one

Anyone have any experience with iVoler? Unless I'm mistaken, this looks to be a tempered glass protector for the front & the back for $4 with free shipping.

I tried another times accessories of Zerolemon for my s4. I'm waiting what they're gonna do for s6, I hope they make a protector

Just purchased both a front and back tempered glass (Nilkin). I'm wondering if an aluminium bumper would affect the signal/gps at all, and if the tempered glass would get in the way... Any thoughts?
Ah hell with it. Went the aliexpress route and purchased the aluminium bumper. Hope it all works out. I'll report back whenever I get it.

Yes, I listened it could affect the signal and the speakers, but I'm not sure at all

Not bad

Is the S6 screen flat so that there won't be the problems fitting a curved screen like with the Nexus 6?

What does "25d glass" mean? I thought (or maybe hoped) the glass was flat for the S6 and curved for the S6 Edge.

2.5 degree. Is the angle of the bevel. I was hoping it was flat too. But, it's not

Anyone got any links for the Nillkin front & back tempered glass protectors from any UK sellers?
The majority i've seen on eBay are from China and estimated delivery is 14th-30th April.
I want one on my phone as soon as I have it!

Any tempered glass screen protector recommendations?

Hey all,
I've used one on my note 4 since day 1 and its been the best investment. Not a single scratch on my pretty and its unnoticeable. So far on amazon I see a bunch of small brands marketing theirs. Wanted to know if anyone had an experience with Sparin, ijoy etc. Maybe the consensus is to wait for Spigen, Steinheil and others to come with theirs? Please chime in.

Nothing has worked very well on the s7 edge. I gave up after dumping about 200$ into different brands.

There are really no good curved ones for the S7 Edge except one from China and that one seems to break very easily. Doubt it will be different for the note 7. I'll either go with a flat tempered glass that only protects the flat part of the screen or the IQ liquid shield. The IQ shield that I have on my S7E is okay but nowhere near as nice as a tempered glass protector.

I'm not sure if it was a Gorilla Glass 5 sample, but I swear I saw a Samsung branded tempered glass on a YouTube video (the ones made by the reviewers) from the day of the presentation.
Give a look when the camera rolls over the accessories on the tables on stage.

I'll check it out...thanks. if I can get a glass one I will have to rotate a bunch of skinomis and Chuck em at the orange peel phase.

I ordered that one since I use their tempered screen on my Samsung Tab S2 and have had no issues so far.

I have a follow up question on this... based on the S7 edge screen protector discussion it seems that even if a protector works it doesn't work with cases. Has anyone tried modifying the case like shaving off a little bit so it fits the screen protector? I have been wondering if that could be a way to make it work.

Good Luck. There is a big difference between a flat and curved tempered glass protector. Most of the flat glass protectors work well.

Yeap, I experienced this when I bought the S6 Edge and returned it due to no tempered glass working perfectly with the Edge to Edge display. I'm hoping things improved since the curve display has been out for a while and this has a slight curve to it.

I've always used tempered glass protectors since my S4. my dad has an S6 Edge and I bought a few different tempered glass protectors and they do not work properly at all. They usually all have an "edge" adhesive. Just a strip of glue around the edge of the device instead of the whole screen like flat screen devices.
For this phone I bought the Skinomi note 7 protector.

That's a shame. I bought the Skinomi HD Clear protector as well. Bummer that no one has risen to the occasion yet. I'd be willing to fork over $50 for a proper protector to not have to worry about what I mate my phone with in my pocket.

I bought two curved glass from Amazon.
here is one https://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Pro..._SR160,160_&psc=1&refRID=Z343M09T5D72J2425XPP
If they don't work I am sending them it back for my money back. I think worse case I use the one without curves. I think the note 7 curves are at more of an angle so maybe it will not be that bad with the flat glass.

Just played with the note 7 at the sprint store and they had a screen protector on it that only covered the flat part. Couldn't tell if it was glass or not but it definitely affected the use of the phone.

How did it affect it?

It made it hard to swipe from the edge for the edge apps. I guess not a complete deal breaker, but I would rather just go with a full coverage wet application.

I ordered a tempered glass protector from Xtremeguards. I used the Olympic90 code and got it for $1.60. Cant go wrong for 2 bucks shipped Haha.

I'm assuming this is a film protector not tempered glass. Can you link the product. Thanks

Plenty of tempered glass protectors on Ebay but they all seem to have black edging on that covers some of the vewable screen area.
EDIT: Have now found some full tempered glass ones on Amazon. They even come with a case/template that clips over the top of the phone so you get perfect placement on the phone with the screen protector every time.
Think it was around £7 and came as a pack of 3 in a fancy presentation box
First time ive ever seen one like this. Brilliant idea and works a treat.

can you give the link pls.

Question Tempered glass

Has anyone found any good tempered glass? UK owner here.

I have the Spigen - Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus Screen Protector GLAS.tR EZ Fit (2-pack). The fingerprint reader takes a major hit with glas protector vs with naked. But it works alright if you don't have super dry fingerstips. I do have Samsung's own plastic screenprotectors waiting on the side. I hear they work well with the fingerprint reader.
I have the glas paired up with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus 5G - Black. It's a great combo.

So it's better to just stick with the TPU protectors to avoid problems with the fingerprint scanner?

You need to delete your finger prints and reregister after installing a glass screen protector otherwise it won't work very well

That's true, but still the fingerprint won't work nearly as good as without a screen protector glas. Fingertip must be a little bit moist for it to work well. If it's dry, it won't work at all. I'm tempted to remove this and test out the Samsung's own plastic screen protector.

Don't forget....

Any got the Whitestone dome tempered glass one? They are usually pretty good when I've had them on pixels. £55 is expensive though

The glass first because the easy fit system won't fit with a case on.

Surprised that fp still sucks on the galaxy series. Op 7T I'm now, fp works 100% of the time with and tempered glass.

That is the way with the ultrasonic sensors, they don't like glass protectors. On the other hand, they are faster and better (most of the cases) with plastic protectors or without protection. On the other, other hand...they suck with dry fingers. My wife can't use the reader on s22 at all and for me it is lightning fast.

Oh noes, I'm coming from a 7T without a screen protector and I use my fingerprint sensor probably 100+ times a day lol. I ordered a Spigen tempered glass screen protector. I hope I can get my fingerprint to recognize relatively accurately..
My phone should be here tomorrow but the screen protector won't be here till the following day. Not gonna run my new galaxy naked, my 7t has a couple micro scratches that bug me.

had no issues with the fingerprint on mine, although ive not got a protector on yet. I might not bother as i really like this phone without one.

I don't pay more than £10 for TG but since Samsung struggles with it, I may get the Spigen one

I'm using the AmFilm tempered glass myself. Works really well. Initially, it was a bit spotty after I put it on, but then I just deleted and readded my fingerprints and it works super fast. I also really liked the applicator kit that came with this. It has a HUGE dust remove sticker that covers the whole screen, so my application is crystal clear.

The only time it hiccups is when my fingers are either really wet or really dry - and TBH, that's no different than how the scanner worked before the screen protector was applied.

I don't know if they have Best Buy in the UK, but I picked up their brand of tempered glass. It was 2 for $15 USD. Other than a tiny bubble on the left side you can only see when the screen is all white, I'm really happy with it. It also seems to be staying pretty clean. My fingers don't smudge it up too badly. I almost paid $40 for the Zagg but decided to give the Best Buy brand a shot. So far so good.

I use the spigen ones as well and have for multiple devices over the years. I like their camera lens protectors also. Amazon prices are much cheaper than their website prices.
