actually, don't worry too much. i've used mediadevil on my S2 and it's been great. they're available for the S4 too.
Actually, you don't need to apply any protector to your phone, if you can stand for very minor scratch to your screen.
The corning glass is excellent scratch proof, I have been using no screen protector since my first iPhone 4 and coming with samsung s3, s4, iphone 5 and etc.... What you get is a better screen, color and contrast if you just don't mind the minor scratches.

Using a Mime Glass protector and all the things you mention aren't affected at all. Color and contrast: same. Screen: better, while protected :good:

Maybe I've been using the wrong kind of screen protector, but all the ones i've used have a weird feel/touch to them that doesn't feel the same as the screen, so I don't use them
Never had a cracked/scratched screen either. Knock on wood. Maybe it's just luck

I use the iloome screenmate flex. It is really thin and it feels like nothing is on the screen, the touch sensitivity is great. I haven't used any of the other ones but this one gas been great.

You've seen two SGS4's side by side, one with and one without the Mime protector yes? And you really saw a noticable difference?
In that case: highly impressed by your amazing eye-sight :good:
I bought a cheap glass screen protector off of amazon. It was some generic one from China. With Amazon prime free shipping I couldn't pass it up.
pros: super clear, finger print resistant, protects screen well
cons: breaks after some abuse (though better this than the screen)
When my first one broke after considerable abuse I ordered two more to replace it. at $10 it wasn't bad. When the one I have on now breaks, I'll just pop my backup on and order another spare.
This cheap and the feel of real glass vs the Ghost Armor I had before, it's great.

I got mine on eBay and have the same philosophy. The glass fells like the screen and under abuse the tempered glass will crack.
It happened to me recently and I installed my spare and bought two more.
Can't beat the way the glass ones look and feel.
I also bought an aluminum button to extend the factory button. So now the home button is not recessed.
I have had my iloome screenmate for a good while and it hasn't cracked or anything and it has been used.
Glass is the only way to go

Spigen glass t. Glass is the best imo

$20 is cheap insurance to protect your screen. A plastic one isn't going to protect your screen from damage. It may protect it from scratches but not from being busted if your phone is dropped.

You can't go wrong with the SPIGEN SGP Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector, once you install it correctly it really holds and protects the screen from pocket scruffs.
My cousin got into a motorcycle accident last year and the screen protector w/ the Spigen slim armor case protected his phone.
Tempered glass is the only thing for me from now on. $5 on eBay. Feels excellent, optically clear to me. Same screen sensitivity to me.
No need to blow 20+$ on big names. I break it, buy 5 more. No big deal.
Buy plastic sheets and the scratch and peel off in a week.
Even no name temp glass is better.
For me is the anti-glare screen protectors, for read is the best choice.
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 ..

I have not heard of this. I was in a Best Buy yesterday, but I did not take the time to view their screen protectors there. I prefer to buy my protectors from Amazon.com as they are much cheaper and you receive a good amount depending on which you buy from Amazon.

When I purchased my Note 4 at Best Buy I also purchased the Zagg glass shield screen protector and paid to have them apply it (good thing). The fist one he thought some lint got into the edges as they would not stick no matter how he rubbed and rubbed. He then opened another package (of no cost to me as the first was "defective") and that too did the same thing. So, I just had them refund me my money for the screen protector and the service charge to apply it. But, here's the clincher, I went to a sprint store to see if maybe Best Buy just had a bad batch or something? Well, the sales rep there said they are not recommending them right now because they are not sticking around the edges. So, bottom line you're better off going amazon for now till they get a fix.
Ive used the zaggs from bestbuy since my s3 and had them on my s3,s4,n3,s5 and now my n4. Always used the clear hd plastic ones and decided to go with the same for the n4. Works and looks great. Maybe its just the glass ones.
its not amazon, its not best buy, its not the sprint store. its our Note 4's screen. its slightly curved so the edges on the tempered glass cant stick, they arnt bendable enough. theyre making a "bendable" tempered glass screen protector but thats going to come out a little bit later on, probably after more R&D. i have a ebay screen tempered glass protector and it also has the same issues. i used to work at best buy and its all the same stuff. i personally use the ebay one while not completely sticking to the edges, it does still provide some protection and with the screen on, you cant tell that its not sticking.
I figured that there would not be any glass screen protectors made for the Note Edge since it would be too difficult for manufacturers to produce.
However, I'm constantly searching the web in the hopes that some company does produce it. To my surprise, I found the following website(looks to be out of stock), but supposedly they are creating one:
http://www.techarmor.com/tech-armor...earest-screen-protector-retail-packaging.html
Let's help each other out and place any links for other Glass Protectors for the Note Edge that may come along in the future.
I have a feeling any glass screen protectors they make will not cover the edge screen
ebay has some

but they only cover the front and not the edge.
i doubt there will be any that will cover the edge anytime soon. Its going to be pretty hard to make it fit just right without a space between the screens.
Plastic protectors would have some give to them so it would bend over.

Yea I had a fosman case order before I got the edge. It came in the day before I pick it up in store. I paid $4 on ebay.
I had screen protectors but they didn't cover the edge. So had to order some more.
I never had a glass screen protector before, since I always put a protectors on day one. But I must say I like the glass feel or the device. So I kinda hope they make a full glass protector.

Philly, did the skinomi work? I love bestscreensever but they will not be making any. I used them for years and years. My note 3 still have the original from Oct 2013 and still in great shape.
I have not used it yet ,picked up the nexus 6 yesterday been setting that up, plus very busy with work , however I have both skinomi protectors on my desk I'm hoping I have time later today to install, I'll let you know and post a few pictures as soon as I can..
I bought a universal screen protector from zagg and cut it to fit my note edge. The one I bought is bigger than the entire lcd on the phone and the zagg's don't try to stay flat so it wrapped around the edge display nicely.

I wonder how this will fit.. It's only a few bucks, guess I'll give it a shot, assuming it won't cover the edge, not sure how it will fit like that, but I guess we will find out.
What the he'll J currently unavailable......? Lol. Just teasing I'll give it a shot when it's available currently using the skinomi not bad bubble free you can barely tell it's on, but nothing beats glass
I'm thinking of getting a tempered glass protector for the flat screen and get the clear self healing ones everyone here talks about for the edge portion.
Trace the self healing protector with the the glass one and cut the edge part off the self healing one.
Apply the glass protector and then apply the cutout of the edge.
I tried looking for that glass protector on ebay but now it's gone. Anyone know where I can get more?
I too have the skinomi brand and am impressed with it. I also reviewed it on amazon. It fits perfectly and still has the finger print issue I mentioned on amazon. However I have also noticed a lot of screen errors in the form of inadvertent screen presses and zoom in/out while trying to scroll. Since I have had the screen protector since nearly day one I do not know if this is an issue with the phone itself or the barrier/drag of the skinomi material.
I do like the feel though. It is nearly un-noticeable.

The tech armor glass screen protector "coming soon" status reminds me of the subway just built near my house. when I was in freshman year of college and wife in high school, is when we first saw the "coming soon" sign. That was in 2005. they just finished building it last month and it's still not open for business, lol. That how I feel about this screen protector
I ordered Alien Surface HD front and rear. I'll tell you how good it is.
I wonder if there is an edge to edge screen for this one?
I installed the film on the screen, it fits very well, full size. Great care when installing! I am very satisfied. It remains to be seen how the resistance is.
Instructions must be followed strictly and installation kit helps a lot.

I think if they do, even the glass protector would need to have curve. 2.5D display of Note4/5 or edge display of the Edge variant wouldn't be covered completely otherwise. And even if they come up with something like that, I would assume the price would be too high..
I hope skinomi makes this for the edge +
Give them some time and I'm sure temper glass edge to edge protectors will be available

Looks nice but no brand name to research reviews to see how it well it covers so 25 from a unnamed company that ships directly from China is definitely too much!
Plus paying $25 and you may get the screen protector between now and Halloween.
I got the skinomi screen protector. I guess this is the best selling on amazon for this phone, but i dont recommend it. There are plastic indentations of on the screen, its wet install so no bubble, but its a nightmare to install, cos even if u wet install it, and squeeze out the water with a squeezee, the skin wont stay on the screen.
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-TechSkin-Replacement-Definition-Anti-Bubble/dp/B011M7ZTUA
Waiting for spigen or some other known brand to come up with a curved tampered glass screen protector.
I figured $25 to protect my $850 phone until a better cheaper version is available was worth the chance to me. Trust me I wish there were more options but that is not the case right now

Take pics and tell us if it fully covers when you get it?
Finally, it will come out with perfect match to the edge+ or something.
The one I ordered shipped today. I also noticed a bunch of new people selling similar tempered glass edge to edge protectors on ebay.
I've also ordered Skinomi and yes,it's wet install and kind of tricky but luckily I was able to have a successful install. It's kind of soft and rubbery feel, but not much that cause worry or distraction. I'm actually loving it.
I've got the same one (skinomi) on my phone. Installation was a breeze. No bubbles or peelings, but I do hate the fact that there are some dust on the edges of the screen protector, none on the screen tho. I also hate the rubbery feeling, but for now it will have to do until I can get my hands on the tempered sp. I almost always go with the Zagg tempered glass, since it features a lifetime warranty.

I would have to Agree i used the Skinomi on my Note 4 edge ,most people couldn't believe I had a screen protector on it it was that hard to see, and the curve on the note4 edge is a lot more of and angle .........just my 2 cent's , just a tip for those that are using any type of wet application I would suggest you get a bowl , like a large salad bowl fill it half way with water and then add a few drop's of dish detergent not too much , it allow's you to get your finger's and the screen protector evenly wet and if you see a hair or a piece of dirt or whatever just pull it off submerge the screen protector to get what ever that was either on the screen or on the protector or the screen and start over again , ever since I saw this tip from somewhere here on XDA it's never failed three different phones and perfection ..........:good:
I just put on the techfilm dry install and it wouldn't show in a picture that's how thin it is. No bubbles full coverage, had to use a flashlight to make sure it was on. Best protector I've ever used on any phone. Oh and no rubber feeling like I've heard about others
