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:

trust me, you can't beat physics law ...:laugh:

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

I'm rolling with Spigen Glast Nano Slim.

If glass has suddenly become the "only way to go", where were we these past many years? I'm not paying upwards of $20 for a fancy screen protector when my cheap plastic one works very well. Can someone please come to my house and show me this apparent difference??

$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.
DieselDawg

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.

[Q] Most aesthetically pleasing/non invasive Z3 screen protector

Hey guys, My Z3 took a nasty fall onto some tile floor from about 4 feet, flat onto the ground. picked it up and sure enough it's shattered and touch doesn't work now.
$175 replacement, more disappointed in myself than anything.
I want to make sure the new screen is more protected, but I hate most screen protectors. I don't like that they're visible, and I don't like if they affect the viewing.
The best screen protector I've ever had the pleasure of using was actually the one preapplied to the Z1/s I used to have. Never even would have known it was there if not for reading about it on the internet. Is there a similar aftermarket protector I can get for my Z3?
Been thinking of Spigen but not sure.

The glass ones are very nice. They don't affect the screen, however they're very thick compared to the more conventional screen protectors.

Nillkin glass protector is perfect! You don't even see it! For real, and also comes with a back protector (really useful).

I have the nillkin as well, purchased the rear glass protector to go with it. The back definitely is not 'hard' as the front, I have several deep scratches that I can actually feel. The anti-finger print coating also sucks...
I wouldn't recommend getting the Nillkin back glass protector.

Glass protector FTW, it has saved my phone twice now. Defiantly recommend a case too, you won't even know it's there.

I have a nillkin glass protector but it's so thick that neither of my two gel cases fits properly over the area where it slightly wraps around the front of the phone.

I have a rhino shield on mine and I'm pretty happy with it.

went ahead with the niilkin, thanks for the advice guys.

Glass Screen Protector

Anyone got any links to where to buy glass screen protector?

I ordered this from Amazon. It looks like it's a Japanese brand giving me some hope that its good quality glass. It also has a 2.5 D edge which should contour nicely with the curved screen. Although its not edge to edge (understandable since its a curved screen), I hope it won't leave too large of a gap. I will post a review of it next week when the phone arrives.

Nice. I ordered the same one. Hopefully it'll be totally flat unlike some of the other options out there that lift at the edges.
I wish Sony still applied protectors like they used to though.

I think this one only has adhesive along the edges, which if that is the case, then no thanks. Screen would be less responsive and you feel the gaps when you press on it.

I've been using my xa with no screen protection since July and so far not a scratch or mark on it seems the x range really does have 9h hardness glass as standard. I don't normally use devices without them but they are either all ugly as hell, don't cover the whole screen or if they do they only stick at the edges allowing dirt and fluff etc to get under it.

From what I've seen/read, the X line uses Gorilla glass.
XZ's screen feels different to the touch than the Z series' does.

True RE adhesive.
And somewhat true RE screen responsiveness - but nothing that's majority a distraction in my opinion.
But the cutout for the front face camera is the main drawback. It's so perfect that the camera suffers from a shadow hue type artifact.

I bought this one, entire screen coverage and curved to fit the phone perfectly, nice cut-outs too but unfortunately only has adhesive around the edges so I've already got dust trapped under the glass around where the cut-outs are
Might go for the roxfit one instead unless anyone could recommend better?

I ordered this one today.
They have it in black, white and completely transparent. And should also protect around the edges.
Will try to remember to pay my findings when i get it, but will take a few weeks probably

Need a Screen protector [Plastic or glass]

I hate to ask this question again, but it's really hard to find a screen protector that goes from edge to edge. This kind doesn't protect the whole screen.
Does anyone have a screen protector that goes from edge to edge? I don't care if it's plastic or glass, but hopefully, it's on amazon as I am trying to get one in the next few days instead the next few months. {Looking at you chinese sellers of ebay.}

I didn't know that of glass protectors. How long does it take for the glass to break down from the corners?
I have only used a screen film or the plastic protectors once on my last phone for two years, and it held up quite well. But it did start to lose a layer or two of the screen protector after heavy use. But I don't mind this at all, I just need something to protect the phone and I'll replace it after another two years if I am still using said phone.

I am still looking for suggestions from people who has already bought protective screens for their Honor 8.

if u buy edge to edge u'll get it bricked fast cause it will be raised out of edges !if ur phone fall in any side it will brick ,
it should have small gap like couple millimeters before edge

I don't use plastic films since I know de glass protectors. Plastic films can't protect of a fall or big scratches. And it's very unconfortable !
With the glass : really good protection, the touch is very comfy, and the scratches even the big ones can't does anythig to the screen. BUT, when we have a screen like the one of the Honor 8 (it's called 2.5D, it's a bit curved) you can't have protection on the extremes edges cos they can't do a curved glass.
Sorry for my bad english.

I'm using a plastic film protector because the glass protectors cannot cover the entire screen.
I received mine with my Nilkin cover and have had it on for about a month and so far the scratches that are on it are very superficial and cannot be seen when the screen is on (and barely when it is off).
It's not as good as glass when it comes to scratch resistance but it sure does the job well.
Beware of cheap protectors as they wear out quicker according to my experience.

Buy this one. It is supposed to be soft and should cover the whole screen. Mine got delivered to the wrong address so I am ordering it again. The glass protectors are absolutely crappy for 2.5d edges. Https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...i-explosion-screen-protector/32723814105.html
Get this case as well. I have it currently and its awesome. Doesn't add to the bulk and looks perfect on the phone. A lot better than the tpu one I ordered earlier.

Plastic is cheaper to bulk buy and if it scratches or the ends peel off it can be replaced, glass can crack easily depending on how much you're willing to spend on a screen protector and the brand name

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/32700318450/32700318450.html
I've attached a picture of the screen protector.

+1 for the Nilkin glass screen protector Doesn't quite cover edge to edge and about 1.5mm aren't fully adhered around edge leaving a bit of that 'halo' effect, but it doesn't bother me. Screen is well protected, the small gap is really just cosmetic.
Currently using it with This. The front edge is raised quite a bit so can't feel the edge of the screen protector at all.

So i received it today and I've put it now. It looks very cool. But unfortunately I put it a little bit wrong. Delivery time was around 20 days. I'm really happy

It's probably a plastic PET screen protector, which has really strong glue on it. I doubt Honor would supply their devices with a tempered glass screen protector straight out the box.

My must arrive on Monday, I hope that there will be a protection like on yours..

Arrived today and there is a sort of hard protection on the display, not glass but probably policarbonate, invisible.

If you're talking about the screen protector from the factory, it's not glass, just a plastic. It's a finger print magnet for sure too. I ordered one of the newer styles that just came on Amazon. Will update with my thoughts when I comes in in a day or so.

Update:
The screenprotector just came in and is the correct one. Unfortunately the same problem persist with the 2.5d glass, the protector doesn't go edge to edge.
So, nillkin.org seems to be legit (enough) to order from. The screen protector box just used a variation on the name 'honor 6x', namely 'Huawei Mate 9 Lite GR5 2017', which is apparently the same phone .
