What the pros and cons of tempered glass screen protector vs a Film screen protector?
My concern about the Tempered glass is that :
--it's adhesive is only on the bezel area and since sgs4 have smaller bezel so it might get detached easily
--Tempered Glass might scratch the glass beneath it
--If adhesive of the Tempered glass became less sticky Dust might accumulate inside
So can you tell me your experience with tempered glass screen protector? I really want to hear from someone who used this screen protector for long time and not on these reviews on youtube since they only used it on the time they review it.
And also does anyone tried using combination of Film and T.glass protectors?
i never bothered because they're so expensive and i screw up the screen anyways so the film type are more easily replaceable
ill probably end up buying 2 or 3 cases and end up using only screen protectors in most situations lol.
to me i rarely drop my phone but i have trouble keeping it out of my pocket with my keys and change, other things. ive been pretty good about it but not perfect.
First off my only problem with tempered glass on my S3 was that it messed with screen responsiveness... Now the ones for the S4 are mostly half the thickness of last years so that should help that problem a lot. The iLoome protector fort the S4 is fully clear and I assume it has adhesive over the entire surface. The sense of mind you get with glass is great. Plus the feel of glass is much better than that of other screen protectors. If you can find one that doesn't take away from screen sensitivity than i'd say it's definitely worth it if you care about your phone.

I have a "Flexible Glass Screen Protector" on my S3 that has adhesive all across the back. I have only removed it once in the couple month's that I've had it. I have not encountered any dust getting between the two pieces of glass. The adhesion has not deteriorated any either. I am very happy with it and I really am hoping I will be able to locate one for my S4. The only draw back that I have found is that the thicker protector limits the cases you can use. My favorite cover before I got the protector was the Seidio Surface case and it no longer can be used. I also like my Otterbox Defender case and I was able to "squeeze" it on after I removed the plastic protector that came on the cover. It's a tight fit, but it does work.

I got it from GlassZone and I believe it is 6mm, I will have to look for my old email confirmation.

It isn't 6mm thick, that would be +70% the thickness of the entire phone! lol
Maybe 0.6mm, that would still be very thick for a screen protector.
Spigen film is the way to go... $14 for two protectors and easy to install...
Just watched a review of the Spigen Glas.tR and it is also CLEAR!

I had a glass protector on my GS3 (XGear Spectre, I think) and it worked fine - no loss of sensitivity. It did allow some tiny dust in, but it was easy to lift and wipe it out the couple of times it happened over 8 months. And the week before my S4 came in, I managed to drop the S3 on its face...the screen protector cracked, and the phone is still perfect. Looking at the Spigen one next week just because of that.

Okay, I found the ad for the flexible glass protector. I ordered it on eBay, this one is very similar even though it is for the Note 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...193&pid=100040&prg=1011&rk=1&sd=230950051927&
I love this screen protector and am hoping that I will be able to get one for the new S4.

I also had the one everyone was talking about at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920757
But, like someone said previously, it had adhesive only on the outside edges and dust or dirt could get underneath the protector.
I ended up breaking it on the corner when I removed it to clean beneath it.
That does look like a nice one.
I bought the Spigen Slim Glass screen protector and I am 100% satisified. Zero less in screen sensitivity and it feels smooth as, well, glass

That's awesome. Which one did you get? .TR or .T? I didn't like the one for the s3 but apparently this one is better as the adhesive is all over.

I got the tr, I think its the thinner of the two. Its definitely fully adhesive, I love it.
spigen GLAS.tr for what phone?

Spigen GLAS.t SLIM = non-rounded borders - (0.23mm) - thinner
Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM = rounded borders (0.4mm)
You're correct the t is the thinner material. Either way it feels great and installs fairly easily.
I had the glas for the s2, I LOVED(easy to clean the screen of finger oils) it, however, it attracted dust underneath the screen protector due to adhesive being only at the edges, I took it off after a couple of months. With the full adhesive, i will definitely buy again for my soon to arrive S4. Especially since I just dropped my s2 face down on the ground and broke the screen a couple weeks back (without case), the glas would serve as a shield.
Ordered this off eBay and its great. Covers the whole glass on the phone and does NOT have the halo effect around the glass but only near the home button which isn't much. The borders are black to possibly hide the halo, and or parts of the glass that isn't touching the screen itself. Pictures were taken on a Nexus 5 so you know where I'm getting at.

Here are the pictures. I'll post the eBay link in just a bit.
Is that the Araree brand one?
I guess its REMAX, but I don't know why OP didn't gave the link when he opened this thread.

Just added the link. This one doesn't seem to have a brand but they may all come from the same factory with different branding.
hii .. how does the phone fit in a case ? does the edges of the screen protector get pushed by the case ?
Is that really full cover? edge cover?
It does cover edges but i would like to see one on gold s6. Also to OP, how is around home button now?
The glass covers the entire front of the phone. The camera, proximity sensor and wraps around the home button. I haven't tested it with other cases besides the ringke slim case and it is just fine. I'm guessing it should be fine with others as well. There is no portion of the front glass exposed with this on except for this home button and the ear speaker.

Does the glass stick all the way to the edges? Or is it more like my Nillkin Glass protection is?
Along the entire phones edges the glass protection will not stick all the way. It makes it look like ****.
Maybe all glass protection is like this?

Yes, all the way to the edge. It has a black border around the edges so if there is any halo effect, you cannot see it. I've tested it with both the Ringke Fusion and Slim case and it's not pushing the screen protector up. I imagine some cases may lift the protector.
Thanks, just ordered one.
Nillkin has an even cooler tempered glass protector, look here:
Definitely going to check this out in black

I'm wondering if the Spigen Neo Hybrid and/or the Slim Armor/Tough Armor would push up this all-around protector.
How much of a lip does the Ringke Fusion/Slim have?
Great just what i was looking for!
Thanks for sharing OP

My guess is this will get pushed up just as much as the other full cover edge to edge screen protectors from Nikllin, UTLK, & Collreall, since it still goes to the edge of the phone. I cannot imagine this one is any thinner than the others to not cause problems.
For the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I think you are stuck with the screen protectors that only cover the screen and not to the edge, or the PET protectors.
Blooody marvellous!!

My guess as well. It does wrap all around the phone and the glass is edge to edge unlike others. It may lift with other protectors who have a lip around the screen. Its a great protector and wanted to share with everyone here since we are all looking for one that covers the whole front glass and this is it.

I'm looking for a case and tempered glass screen protector for my regular Black S6.
The problem I have is most of the tempered glass screen protectors dont go from edge to edge of the screen and leave a messy looking rim around the edge. *by edge to edge I don't mean S6 Edge.
I found thiswhich does go from edge to edge and wondered if anyone has any expereince with them?
REMAX Brand Full Tempered Glass Screen Protector For Samsung Galaxy S6
I would like to use them in conjunction with a Spigen Neo Hybrid but wasnt sure if the screen protector would get in the way of the case fitting?
Or does anyone have any other tempered glass screen protector/case combo that workds really well? I quite like the Spigen because it has a nice slim form factor and similar metal rig to the naked phone, but am open to suggestions.

Well, I have this case from Spigen
and this tempered glass screen protector from amFilm
They both work very well for me!!
Araree Tempered Glass + Otterbox Commuter.
Otterbox Alpha Glass + Otterbox Commuter.
Because of the added thickness of tempered glass versus PET film protectors you're not going to find one that really goes edge to edge. There is a slight curve at the edges of the screen on even the regular S6. +1 for the amFilm tempered glass. I got mine a few weeks ago when I got my S6 and it hasn't interfered with any cases, there is a tiny halo on the right side, but that is due to me not PERFECTLY placing the protector on. However, it isn't enough for me to need to get a new one/try to redo it. It also feels great and goes a good job of not picking up fingerprints. If my hands are greasy/oily a quick wipe has it looking perfect again. Just my 2 cents...

Otterbox Commuter + Verizon tempered glass here. No issues at all. I rather like the Verizon glass too.
I'm hoping you can help me help a friend. She just got her Note 10+. She is a big fan of the Spigen neoflex protectors. She asked a couple of questions about the Samsung screen protector. What kind of protector is it? Is it a pet type or a tpu. Regardless of the type, is it as resistant to scratches as one of the tpu protectors?

Good question.
I too am looking for more info on this.
I stall have my screen protection on as it's a absolute perfect fit and it's the oldschool plastic protection I missed so much.
I hate those big fat glass protection so this is just perfect but is it worth it that's the question.
Ps. I just tried two different types of plastic screen protection on my note 9 and both of them failed to keep the edges glued on the display and kept coming off so this note 10 screen protection I love.
Hello Everyone! I have recently purchased a galaxy note 10 lite.. apart than the selfie camera I am liking it very much. But recently I found some micro scratch on my screen .. as in I am not using any protector but do use very carefully. Should I get a screen protector or flip case will be fine? And does flip cover gives scratches? Thanks
Hi, as a late reply: My personal view on these screen protectors: What do you all have in mind, that you think you need plastic foils, which should then be better than the Gorilla Glass our Notes have? I owned every Note, never had any protector and really love gorilla
That is also my answer to the flip cases: If you like flip, it is great. You will never have any scratches (gorilla!), and I myself like it very much to open and close my phone just by flip open/close.
The one from the 10LITE is also covering the edges, so a good covering against falling down. And that is what you should really fear: Dropping the phone on a hard surface! No screen protector helps here, just "bumpers", especially on the edges. Here I like flip cases, too: They add extra layer for protecting the screen - real layers, not 0,1mm.
