Anyone know where in Hongkong you can buy nice screen protectors and cases? My sister is there at the moment and I thought it would cheaper to buy it there than to have items shipped.
only people living there will know
for me
ebay is quicker and faster only $2 for each

Anyone heard of these? The video looks pretty impressive. I wonder the the spigen glas.t protectors offer similiar protection (I just ordered one, but am thinking about grabbing one of these too). They are apparently available at tmobile stores in the US.
Any recommendations?
Looking to grab a glass protector from aliexpress but since the phone is relatively new, not sure of anyone's experience there. Previously got one for my S4 there and it was perfect.
Please report/merge if a similar thread already exists! TIA!

I first tried ZAGG glass but then I ended up using Galaxy S5 Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM Privacy. Both were pretty impressive to me. ZAGG has lifetime warranty for spigen I think you only get 90 days both cost the same $39.99 and ZAGG Glass is $34.99 on the website

Yep, aware of the bigger and more common brands. They are also usually more than 5 times the price of an equivalent one from China though!
Wondering if anyone had experience with the glass protectors from the Asian market?
I have used iLoome and Spigen products before and they do not impress me for the price I pay relative to alternatives at that point in time.

Well there's a saying you get what you pay for...pay for something cheap its obviously going to be cheap...if you pay for something that's pricey then most of the time the quality is great but here's some links hopefully it helps!

i have different view on this matter. i'd recommend you to use asian brands because they are economical, yet good quality.
i'm using niilkin tempered glass, it's korean brand, it cost me just 14$ but i'm so satisfied with it, it fits perfectly with s5, finger-print resistance, real glass and super responsive. it's what you see is what you get.
hope it helps you
I ordered this one from DX :

When it arrives I can answer the question.
But it will take at least one more week I guess.

Great glass
I am using the Lunnitt 9H (purchased from Amazon), love it and can't say a thing bad about the protector.
Thanks for the suggestion all!
And if you really think that protector you get for paying the overpriced $30+ is any better than the $5 one... The marketing got you good...
I use baseus, got it for about 15$.
I have it for about a month and a half now and it's still fingerprint resistant, very easy to clean, no scratches, and it's glass so it feels good to touch, i can't stand the plastic films.
I don't intend on finding out about shatter resistance though :laugh:
Got the tech armor one, pretty good and very easy to put on, it was for $15 at amazon
got the glass m

0.2MM thick and feels like the original glass
I got the Hero Glass from Amazon. $15 Awesome! Sorry, can't post a link yet.
Anybody pop off Otterbox defender screen protector and use a glass one? Ive been thinking of trying it but not sure if it will fit. I hate the defender case protector and love the clarity of the glass ones.
Using m-glass. On all devices. Very nice and shipping to Russia cheap. Feel like no protector.
I am loving this tempered glass. Couldnt see paying 35+ for the spigen ones, so i went with this one for 16 bucks, free shipping with prime. Check out my review http://goo.gl/PgNdcZ
Get one for yourselves! Definitely an amazing, quality product.
Alright just thought id share this with you guys. Take it easy!

Have to agree. $15.99 on Amazon and a great product. Looks like its a $40 one with the packaging and quality.
Bought mine for 6$ on ebay. I was warned not to buy those because there may be quality, clearness, responsiveness issues. I can tell you that those people couldn't be more wrong. My 6$ glass screen protector cannot be more identical to a spigen glass tr, which i decided to boycott that company after their horrible customer service last year with the note 3. My 6$ screen protector is as clear, as fingerprint repellant, as easy to clean and has no scratches after 3 months. This opened my eyes on how we quickly throw our money at big companies because "we think" their products are of higher caliber. Couldn't be more wrong. BTW, here is the link to the item for anybody interested http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Samsung-Gala...ll_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item58af32c337&_uhb=1
It came in a box similar to the one shown in the video, it came with an alcohol pad and microfiber for cleaning. the only thing it didnt come with is the premium price tag. It's free shipping no matter if you have prime or not
Got mine for about $7 off eBay 6 weeks ago and so far matches up to any expensive branded protector, and that's why I don't automatically assume more expensive protectors are better just because I hear good reviews from people who have never tried the cheap stuff.
I always get a Nillkin when possible. Best tempered glass I've ever used and they are priced very reasonable.
Has anyone found a half decent case for this phone? And the glass screen protectors too? I'm considering buying this phone very soon because of its attractive price.
Thanks!
