I personally wouldn't waste my money on another zagg screen protector. They make a good product, just not worth $20-25 each. I have used their warranty and it's worth the $3 for the shipping for a replacement, no hassles getting a replacement either. But the hd claims to be more clear, no orange peel. I got one for my s3 and it had orange peel, even the replacement had the peel effect.
I went with the tech armor for $22.95 on amazon w/2 day shipping, I love my prime membership. You can't go wrong. It's crystal clear, no bubbles and hasn't scratched yet. I've had mine since verizon released the s4. Glass screen protectors are the way to go. Here's a link to the one I got. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CD0I8EK/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There are a bunch of glass screen protectors out there, just search the forum. I haven't had any issues with fit with any case I've tried.

How hard are the glass ones to apply?

Zagg is horrible in my opinion. The texture is very artificial. I prefer a glass feel. I'd recommend a glass protector.

I have put on many film screen protectors and find them pretty easy, but I've done plenty of graphics on cars. Wet applications are much easier to work with and get right.
The glass protectors I find are even easier. The tech armor went on with no liquid if I remember right. It was very easy. It just takes patience. The one thing I really liked about the tech armor glass protectors was the little suction cup holder it came with. Made easy for getting the alignment just right. Just put some pressure in the middle of the screen and work your way out.

i was gonna buy a glass one, but i got the zagg instead simply because i was at bestbuy and had a gift card, it looks fine after a day or so it settles in so to say, and it seems to get more clearer as the days go bye, of course im used to the cheap one in the defender so anything would look better then that. But i agree with others and say get a glass one if you don't need it right at this moment.

Yeah, zagg are really draggy, put one on the back of you s4 and you will never drop it again
I hear good thinks about Skinomi screen protectors.

Not really. I dont see why everyone says this. Unless they apply an unnecessary amount of pressure when sliding their finger on the screen. I barely have to touch my screen on my s4 for it to register

Glass Screen Protector or No...?

Hey guys, so I have never used a glass screen protector before, I have always used Ghost Armor's screen protector which is almost like a rubberized material. Anyways...I was looking at the Spigen nano glass screen protector but I am having a difficult time justifying spending $35, but not sure if I trust the knock-off ones either. Keep in mind my phone is ALWAYS in either my Otterbox Defender case, Otterbox Commuter Case, or UAG Maverick case. I guess my question is...is it worth getting one of these glass screen protectors if I am always using the above cases??

Yes it is worth it. I myself had zagg invisible shields for years. Similiar to ghost armour. I'm pretty happy with tempered glass screen protector. Here is a link that will help on where to buy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457815

No it's not. Im the same way. Always having cases with great proection. The glass screen protector is ideal for someone not using a case. Or a very thin case. I have a body glove balastic wich has great protection and now my temperedglass screen protector. And I love it.

Well I will get the Spigen one when I have an extra $35 to spend I guess lol

I can share my experience with glass protectors.
Two months ago, I dropped my phone during a phone conversation at the height of 1.7-1.8 meters. It fell on rough cement ground, and I had no case on, so I naturally feared what I might see when I went to pick up my new galaxy s4.
All four corners of my bezel/frame were severely dented and scratched.
The glass protector was shattered to pieces. But to my surprise, my screen was in perfect condition. Upon inspection, found that adhesive between protector and galaxy s4 screen helped the protector to absorb and redistribute force of the drop, rather than the screen taking the hit.
My investment in glass protector was well justified on this account. Besides, it feels much better than rubbery ghost armor.
Mind you, I have GA on my ipad3, ipad mini, iphone 4 and 5, and galaxy tab.
And the smoothness of glass screen protector is incomparable.
Hope this helps make yours decision.

Do you have to recomend screen p. from ebay? Pack of 3 max 10$

I don't understand why people want to ruin premium latest Gorilla glass generation with screen protector. Even tempered glass ones will never have same features like original Gorilla glass, especially I am talking about clearness, smooth gliding and oleo-phobic covering for easy cleaning. I would recommend quality leather pouch or S-view cover case to protect your screen, also handling phone with care would prolong its lifetime significantly.

Well my point is I use very protective cases...not slim cases...but maybe I will take the plunge on the spigen screen protector. Any of you have any experience with the cheap knock off ones?

You've never been to the beach then.
A grain of sand can scratch the gg3.

I like glass screen protectors.
Gorilla glass can scratch and break.
I have this protector:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171172132327?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Apparently out of stock. When they have them, they are about $8.00.
There is also, this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321245033521?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I didn't buy it because I like the home button closed in.
I would skip the Spigen glass. Too expensive and crappy customer support.
I had one and since I didn't buy it from an "authorized dealer" they won't offer the 50% discount on replacement.
It was authentic and passed their web check but nothing.
So I'll buy the cheap ones.

No,
I got sucked into these cheapies for the price and if I were to mess it up i wouldn't be wasting 30 bucks. They are good to practice with and i honed my skill with them. Once i put on a high quality screen protector the difference was near night and day from touch feel and feedback to how clear and cleaner everything looks
I'm still waiting for my glass protectors so i can test them out. Like i said those cheap ones from E-bay are only good for practice and quick protection until you can get better.
As for those asking why have it?
Gorilla Glass 3 is better then others but still not indestructible. Having a little more protection never hurts. As one person pointed out their $6-$30 investment may have saved their $500+ product. Well worth it imo.

Spigen's tempered glass is oleo-phobic treated glass. I cannot tell the difference, in smoothness of glide, etc. And it holds up pretty damn well to wear and tear. I had it for 13 months on my Note II and it didn't scratch much.
For the OP, if you even have to worry about it, get it. I have this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPIGEN-SGP-...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item3a83e3d3ef
I had it on my Note 2, my wife's Iphone 5S, my (sold) nexus 5), and my S4. On my Note 2, I have it COMPLETELY encased in shock absorbing rubber and plastic. But if the phone falls and it's JUST RIGHT, the shock will still travel through the phone. Also, you can drop your phone nad have it hit the edge of a table and the case isn't gonna do a damn thing for it. I am a runner so I run a hell of a lot. and I use my phone once in a while when I need to change songs, answer a call, etc. When it's 3 degrees and your hands are cold, you can drop a phone. I did, and the glass protector cracked. no mark on my Note. I was able to recently sell my Note for $325, I wouldn't be able to do that if the screen was cracked!
IMO, totally worth the $20 I spent on it.
Buy it on ebay, it's still directly from Spigen, and it's $10 cheaper.

That's a good price.
I had the Spigen Nano and now have the cheaper ones.
I honestly can't tell the difference between the $8 and the $35 Spigen Nano except for the thickness.
YMMV, but I can get 3 of the ones I bought for the same price as this Spigen.

Awesome deal though, and it is coated too. I'll probably pick some up just as a backup when I do drop my phone later this year...

Tempered glass vs. plastic screen protector

I have been a long time user of the $10 3 pack of plastic film protectors you can get on amazon, they work fine however after a few months they get scratched, hold tons of fingerprints and need to be replaced. What I'm wondering is would a tempered glass screen protector necessarily have any better fingerprint resistance or scratch resistance vs the plastic or is the only real advantage the fact the the tempered glass will shatter if dropped and not your phones screen. I'm considering the zagg glass only because of the free replacement. I previously used their invisible shield on a nexus 7 and was not impressed at all but am willing to give them another try only because of the free replacement.

I've tried many plastic screen protectors and I used to have the same issue after a while they would track tons of fingerprints and wear down. I tried out the iLoome 8H Hardness Premium Screen Protector with Oleophobic Coating for the LG G2 and LG G3 and it's amazing. I feel like it helps against the fingerprints and scratches.

I was previously a hater of screen protectors (because of the plastic ones) until I realized how anal I could be over micro scratches on my actual screen. Once I noticed one, I bought a glass screen protector for the first time. Was the Caribu on Amazon. I failed to apply it correctly because it was a first time thing but I still loved the feel, thought it was great & left it on for a couple weeks. I ordered the Bepak tempered glass on eBay which ships from China. Lined it up perfect first try and the adhesive slowly migrated across my screen leaving no bubbles. It's smoother and resist fingerprints better than the naked glass. No scratches yet.
In short, tempered glass screen protectors are the only reason I can even say I like screen protectors.

I love my zagg glass. I too had issues with scratches on the others.
Fortunately I have not had this one break. My buddy has broken 3 and received replacements no issues

I always used the lesser destructible protectors from zagg skins or clearcoat etc. With this device I decided I try out the zagg tempered glass and I don't think I would ever go back to any other screen protector. They give you added protection and are super clear! Definitely worth the extra investment
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Stay away from the Bodyguardz tempered glass screen protector. It has sensitivity issues. Hopefully AT&T takes mine back when the new one I ordered from Spigen gets here.

I have the XtremeGuard Spartan Tempered Glass screen protector. It feels like glass, it seems to be just as sensitive, and it's not cloudy like some matte screen protectors are. There are only 2 things wrong with it: the top-right corner refuses to adhere, and it normally costs $50. I got it during a 90% off sale so it cost me $5 (totally worth it), but there's no way I would ever spend more than $10 on this thing. $5 was about right.

My local at&t wouldn't take mine back
Thankfully the sensitivity issue has gotten better with use. But it still messes up from time to time. I did get it 50% off, as well as my otter box case, so I guess I can't complain too much.
Side note: I'm not sure if I'm the only one that does this but I get the otter box defender and I actually pop out their "screen protector" and use a glass screen protector with it. Looks nice and feels protected

You are not the only one. I popped mine out too. Did the same on my S3.

I has the screen sensitivity issue when I first put the zagg on. I haven't noticed it lately however. Could be that I've just completely forgotten about it or it genuinely could have gotten better.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Wanted to chime in that I am also having issues with the Bodyguardz tempered screen protector. Traded a s5 for the g3 (So happy I did) and I've noticed things will get selected when I'm trying to scroll. Then other times I have to select something multiple times to get it to work. Driving me nuts.

Zagg Tempered Glass
Figured I'd add my 2 cents I've had my Zagg glass on about a month and it has been absolutely flawless.. and like the video shows.. that sumbitch will not scratch. Its got those hard plastic covers beat by a mile. I'd swear by it.. Once you put on a Zagg glass protector.. you'll kick yourself for ever having messed with others.
Sensitivity : 10
Clarity : 10
Ease of application : 10
and its lifetime gauranteed ... will be on every phone I ever use from the g3 on out :good:

I bought ZeroLemon Tempered Glass and love it. Simple to install and feels great. Never going back plastic screen covers. For 8.99 plus .69 cents for S/H cant beat it.

Wanted to update, I went to best buy and bought the zagg glass one and it's great. Way better then the bodyguardz. No finicky screen issues and not as thick so cases fit just fine. I have to agree with dlbcell.

Zagg Glass +1
Just thought I would chime in and say the Zagg Glass is amazing and I would rec it to anyone. Just as a plus, show this at any bestbuy and you can get it for 22 bucks. Now that is worth it 100%. Would have gladly paid 40 bucks for it if I hadent found this.

Thanks for the link. I had cracked the glass screen protector I had on my G3 and I have been in the market for a Zagg one due to their lifetime guarantee. Can't pass up that price!

Got my G3 at best buy today. Ordered a Zagg glass screen protector from Amazon after hearing all off the good things.

I had the same issue with Bodyguards. At intermittent times parts of the touchscreen failed to respond to touch. Going to make a complaint and see if I can get my money back or at least a credit on my bill. I have since put on a Zagg Glass and have not noticed the issue...and it actually feels better for swyping.

I swear by Realook protectors. Sure, they're plastic, but they are the best fitting and best feeling I have found. Crystal clear and no orange peel or rubbery drag. I tried the Ziess glass cover on my g2 and could never get over the combination of the extra thickness at the edges and that cases either lifted it or eventually just plan broke it.
You have fingers, you will put prints on anything.

I'll never buy another plastic screen protector. Glass is the way to go..
Its like Cassette tapes vs CD's there's no contest...
I get mine of Amazon and pay between 5 and 10 dollars ..

What is the best screen protector people have found for the Note 4?

I am really enjoying using my new Note 4 but an issue I've found is some screen protectors seem to almost reduce the resolution/brightness of the display.
So I thought rather than wasting my money, check if there was any screen protector which everyone agreed was either the best or one of the best.
My priority is:
absolute transparency
screen protection
slimness
I've heard alot of good things about the spigen screen protectors, as below
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPIGEN-LC...231319?hash=item27eb596e97:g:mokAAOSw7NNUDb-M
What does everyone else think?

There's a thread on this topic. Here, it might help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2878038

It was the intelliGLASS edge to edge screen protector until I realized that it was picking up a lot of smudges (Easier than most generic ones) and it's a bit too close to the edge to allow for TPU cases. I just went with one off eBay. Has haloing but I have the white note 4, making it almost impossible to see.

tempered glass is the way to go, normal plastic screen protectors vary to heavily in quality and are prone to scratches and discoloration. I'd honestly pick up a decent tempered glass screen protector of ebay. although I've been using mine without a screen protector for a while and it's held up fine. in saying that i just ordered a nuglas tempered screen protector last night of ebay for 8 bucks.

I'm a big fan of Illumishield: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Screen Protector with Lifetime Replacement Warranty - Japanese Ultra Clear HD Film with Anti-Bubble and Anti-Fingerprint - High Quality (Invisible) LCD Shield - [3-Pack]
I find them to be completely clear with a good feel. I forget they are on the phone. For the most part they are resistant to fingerprints, fit perfectly and are very durable. One usually lasts me the life of the phone. Priced well also.
The best part is that they are really bubble free if applied in a dust free environment (steamy bathroom). I use the hinge method to pre-position the protector so I only have to put it on once.
Good product.

Best OnePlus 6 PET (Plastic) Screen Protectors

I'm personally not going to even bother looking for a good tempered glass screen protector, because I want full case compatibility, and I want full screen coverage without black edges - probably not possible with 2.5D edges.
I am, however, a fan of plastic PET screen protectors as they are easily replaceable, should be cheap, and fit any case.
Currently, I'm using the one that was pre-installed on the OP6, but I noticed the edges are peeling already, so I'm looking for alternatives now.
Spigen used to have a "Crystal Clear" PET screen protector which worked awesomely on my past devices, but they do not seem to manufacture it anymore.
Perusing Amazon, the only one I see that's a PET protector is this one:
"[8-Pack] OnePlus 6 Screen Protector, J&D [Not Full Coverage] Premium HD Clear Film Shield Screen Protector for OnePlus 6"
Unsure of its quality though, and people I know have stated that the sizing/cutouts of J&D are not very good.
I'm not a fan of the 3M-type "self-healing" soft screen protectors due to the texture/stickiness.
Does anybody know of any alternative PET (plastic) screen protectors for the OP6?

I'm a huge fan of armorsuit screen protectors. They are the self healing sticky type. It takes a couple days, but eventually they lose the sticky feeling, and work great after that. Another plus is they seem to repel fingerprints way better than the pet screen protectors.
Still using the preinstalled protector for now, but will probably change to the armorsuit soon.

I agree with you. I hate the tempered glass (plastic) screen protectors and am looking for inexpensive PET ones like the one that came in the phone.
On eBay there is a seller selling the ExtremeGuard ones but the cut is all screwed up and they don't fit. I've always had good luck with SuperShieldz as they are high quality and pretty cheap and I'm hoping they start making them for the OP6 soon.

After using trying a few different TGSPs, I went this route. Armorsuit was nice, but I've found that the skinomi one is much smoother and has less drag.

Search for iLLumiShield Screen Protector for OnePlus 6 on Amazon. They have both crystal clear and matte finish. They use Japanese PET film. Have not tried on OP6 but my previous experience has been very good.

Same, i always used these soft nano protectors on my old phone but i got my oneplus 6 with a glass screen protector that i got for free due to the code someone gave me so if the glass really sucks i will go back to the soft protectors. I always buy them from aliexpress and most of the time they are like 1 or 2 bucks so i always get a couple so that i future proof my self

Thanks for the recommendation. This is something along the lines of what I'm looking for - I think I'll buy a pack to test the crystal clear.
