Is it worth the price? It's more expensive than the others. How is the quality? Doors it stick well?
i have been using skinomi tech glass for a few years now. imo, they are hands down the best tempered glass screen protectors available. i have it on my 6p and it's awesome. i also go the skin, to keep the body and camera protected. it was cheap enough to include. they always have black friday sales too.
of the 6 or so that i have and have tried for the 6p, the skintomi is my favorite. best edge to edge protection and very easy install
Any problems with the proximity sensor when using this? Thx

none whatsoever. i actually had the original version they shipped and had no issues with it. then they contacted me to say they had a revised one and they were shipping it to me at no charge. no issues with that either. it's perfect
It's a very good Tempered Glass. I posted pics a while back and I'm using it currently with no issues.

Is it available for purchase in the United Kingdom ?
The Skinomi TechSkin glass shield for the 6p is perfect and super easy to install and also lot less expensive than Zagg..

I have been buying $5-6 tempered glass ones on ebay. Don't think brand makes a difference or price. In the end they've always done the job and felt better than plastic.

This is one brand I have been using on my last few phones and they always held up good against scratches and other issues. Always felt smooth and easy to clean. I don't see the point in paying over $5-8 for these things really. $20-30 for them like some manufactures makes is not justifiable at all...especially when you can mess up putting it on like getting dust or fingerprints under them.

Mines fine. You might of got finger print grease underneath. I messed up my first one because of that. the 2nd one has been flawless. Maybe your phone is bent? Think I have seen reports of that.
Just installed one of these in place of a Techskin screen protector this am. Very easy installation and it fits great.
I've been using Skinomi for my last 3 phones. They are an awesome company. The glass doesn't have bubbles underneath like some of the others. They are so nice, if you have an issue they are quick to send you another 1.
I see people say the Skinomi is edge to edge, but how edge to edge is it? I usually use pretty slim cases and don't want a large gap.
Thanks!

Often times when a new phone come out, I take a chance and order a cheapy case on eBay for $2 and end up throwing away when it arrives due to it being cheap mis-fitting junk.
However, I came across the cases listed below from seller AccStation on eBay, and decided to take a chance. They sell them for $3.50 with free shipping (tho I had to pay tax since I'm in CA). It arrived and was like Christmas day. I'm not even kidding. I've had hundreds of mobile devices, and thousands of cases in my life, and this is hands-down the most 100% perfect fitting, most amazingly cut case I've ever bought, and it was only four bux! The camera cutout is EXACT, it's like the phone was dipped in the rubber. There's no lose\off-cut pieces. The shell is incredibly thin, and it's a material that doesn't stick to the inside of your pocket when you put it in and out.
I am ordering more from this seller to have as backups. Right now they're out of stock, so they raised the price to $100 to not sell any, but watch their website and grab them when they're back in stock. I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with the quality and fit of this case, it's as if my phone was dipped in the rubber, it just is 100% spot-on!

Yeah, AccStation and eForcity are the same company... based out of Costa Mesa I believe. I think they're just an importer from china... and like most they get crap 99% of the time, but this is certainly one of the 1% when they got it absolutely right.
I ordered a 2 pack of those before I got my phone. I used it for about a week before switching to the Best Buy/seidio case. The TPU cases fit great , I just didnt like that they were flush with the camera lense so no protection if you laid it down on the back. Also (only happened once) I had the case bind up somehow and jammed the volume down key pressed. Im still hanging on to the case though, Im sure Ill switch back and forth between the two.
That would certainly explain the similarities. Hahaha. And I agree on the camera coverage. It just misses going past the camera to protect it.

Mine has about a 1mm protrusion around the camera so the lens doesn't lay flat against a surface. It's one of the reasons I preferred this case to any others. The camera lenses have a plastic cover over them to begin with, so they're fairly resistant anyhow. I just don't like how some cases add so much bulk to the back of android phones, mainly because of the camera.
I haven't had a volume key issue, that would be annoying.

Was able to get it to load, looks like this seller is selling them directly from China (no other explanation as to why it'd take 3-5 WEEKS for delivery).
I'd recommend waiting till AccStation on ebay or Accstation.com has them back in stock and order from them. Mine took about a week to arrive.
I used to use one of these for my old iPhone 3G. They do work pretty well. One problem that can arise though if you have a screen protector it can cause it to peel because of where the edges are.

I can refute this issue. I have a Zagg InvisiShield on mine, and it causes no issue. the case doesn't even touch the screen protector.
While on some models I can see this as an issue, the real question is the quality of your screen protector. A quality screen protector will not peel due to friction with a case. I've had cheap screen protectors that peel, and my last few phones I've gone with Zagg as they just stay on and I don't have to worry about peeling. To me it's worth the price. This particular case doesn't touch the screen protector in any way tho. I tried to take a pic showing it but without a DSLR I can't get in tight enough without blurr.

My friend had a zagg on his iphone 3gs and it peeled big time. I got another friend with an iphone 4 and he has the zagg. He says he has gone through a bunch of them because they peel at the corner where the camera is. I used to have a zagg too. It wasn't too bad. I've used bodyguardz and bestskinsever too. They are all about the same. Zagg is a little thicker I think with more orange peel though. I use bestskinsever now because they are less than half the price of zagg or bodyguardz.

Ohhh, we're talking about two different things. When I say Zagg I'm referring ONLY to the SCREEN protector product. I can certainly see how a complete skin\body cover would peel when putting a case on or off. I'm not sure why someone would use a complete skin and then also put a case on it, but hey, to each his own.
From past experience, 90% of people who ahve peeling problems with Zagg is because of improper installation. Most people who have Zagg don't ever have issues with them, but I've seen many peel where someone's fingers aren't wet when they install the corners, therefor it strips some of the glue from under the edge weakening the bond causing peeling.
Not sure why one would want to completely wrap their phone in a plastic lining... why not just carry your phone in a zip-loc bag? hehe. I guess there are those odd people who cover their couches in plastic too, haha
I'm only referring to screen protector as well...but the zagg for the iphone is the same front and back minus the whole for the camera.
By the way, my Inspire has a body skin on it from bestskinsever. I don't have a case on it though. It's nice carrying it around with no case. I got used to that when I put a body skin on my old iphone 3g.

Yeah I too prefer not having a case because most cases make the phone look too bulky, hence why I wrote this raving review I normally wouldn't since this skin adds almost no bulk.
Funny how those who say this case = bad because it doesn't protect the camera sufficiently go on to say that a bodyshield is good, which provides NO protection to the camera , haha
I didn't say it doesn't protect the camera sufficiently. Matter of fact, the only reason I would sport this case is if I do want to protect the camera. The other case that I like is the case-mate, but that is 20. I'm sure I'll pick one of these up though. I'd like protection when I go traveling on vacation.
Nice case. I almost bought one last week. Wish I had because the Body glove one I have sucks.

I have one and think they are amazing. I have dropped my phone onto it's face in gravel from ear height and this protected my factory glass. In my opinion, id rather break one of these then the factory glass because it is a paint in the butt to replace the factory glass.

I got a skinomi from amazon. I think it was like 7 bucks. Lifetime warranty supposedly. I like it, it doesn't have the drag my old zagg's used to have when I move my finger around. It is a wet application, but it works, so I don't really have any complaints.

I made a mistake of purchasing skinomi for my late iphone 4s. The supposed lifetime warranty is a load of baloney. Such a hassle to convince them that I needed replacement as the corners started to peel. And after days of dispute, I got my replacement but they wanted me to pay for shipping. $3 shipping on a $10 product. Never again. But your experience may differ.

Good to know about the warranty. That's partially why I said supposedly. I guess I haven't had it long enough to know the long term quality. For a short term cheap screen saver it seems to be pretty good.

Awesome, good luck. My first one did not apply well, it had some weird line-defect in it. Got a new one, and i love it. I've been using it about 5 weeks now, and I don't have any scratches or marks on it. A plastic screen protector would be scratched up in a few days.
I keep my phone in my jacket pocket, or back pants pocket.
I've been really happy with it.
Got a zagg only because its the only one Best Buy offered when i got my phone. Will definitely be getting the spigen tempered glass one next payday. I hate the feeling of screen protectors (especially zagg, feels like an orange peel). Glass is the only way to go. IMO its an expensive phone, no need to be a cheap charlie when it comes to protecting the screen. Just my .02 cents. 30 bucks for a tempered glass one that will fit properly isnt much.

sorry for the late response. install was a breeze. I did however manage to get some dirt on the adhesive side of the glass right before I was about to place it on and freaked out for a bit after realizing the back side is pretty sticky and you cant simply wipe dirt off of it. Thankfully I had some sticky notes nearby and used the sticky side of the note and padded the adhesive side of the glass and it grabbed all the dirt right off

I didn't have this one but It went great.
What I did was do it after a hot shower (steamy), cleaned the screen with the included cloth and used the included stick repeatly to remove all dust.
when I see no dust on there, I quickly pealed off the red tab and aligned it before applying pressure and sticking it in place.
you can get a tempered glass S4 screen protector for $7 on ebay.. select US ONLY
Ok so my gf got the S5 and she is trying to find a good screen protector, I personally like wet application screen protectors because they are the easiest to get on and have the best adhesion. So i was wondering if there was any good one for the S5?
She wants one that is clear, scratch resistant, and smug resistant but dont cost an arm and leg (a round the 20 mark max)?
If there isn't one that is water application but still have really good adhesion (meaning it stick to the edges of the phone) then will be willing to consider that as well.
Thanks in advance!!!

No she's never considered tempered glass protectors before and when I explained it to her she didn't seem all that interested in it since it's kinda became the trend where we both didn't have a screen protector on our last phone and suffered minimal scratches. So don't see the need for something as extreme as an extra layer of glass. But maybe the Zagg HD might work thanks.

Just a little more info. The tempered glass protectors do add a little more protection than the regular protectors but that's no where near the reason I recommend them. It's for the feel. It feel like you don't have a protector at all....like using the phone naked. Just my 2 cents. Since I started using them a couple years I won't use anything else.

There are typically several options available. For example spigen and mime are the two companies whose glass I've used and they both offer ultra thin versions or standard versions with rounded edges. Personally I prefer the rounded edges as the transition from the home button and such is smooth as can be. As far as case issues I've never had that problem. Especially on phones like the s5 where the bezel actually has its own little lip anyways.
I did a review on the neo hybrid somewhere in the accessories forum and I have my screen protector on in those pics but I don't recall if there is a good view or not. I will gladly take a couple photos and post them here for you on my lunch break.

Tempered glass is the way to go, adds a little bit of thickness but feels like using the phone naked, I had the zagg HD on while I waiting for my glass ones to come in. The Zagg was very good for the wet application but still has that rubbery feel all wet application suffer from. Look on ebay or amazon you can get them dirt cheap for around 5 dollars, I usually buy 4 at a time and once they get a little beat up or the anti finger print coating starts to wear off I replace them.
here's the ebay link for the ones I got

lol typos happen don't spend 25 dollars on the same thing that cost five. I got mine in 12 days shipped for free. I have tried probably every brand of tempered glass out there in the last 3 years. I bought 60 dollar ones and 5 dollar ones, the only thing to make sure of is that they have an oleophobic coating.

Typos do happen. That being said the oleophobic coating is definitely not the only thing to worry about. Fit is important and the cheaper ones don't necessarily have the exact fit but the may. Hardness is extremely important as its what determines scratch resistance. Thickness is also a big deal. The difference between .3mm and .23 mm doesn't seem like much but it can create an obvious lip and also cause case issues. Also, rounded edges are a huge deal and not all glass protectors have them. And the thicker the protector the more important rounded edges become.

I'm looking around for a tempered glass with decent touch responsiveness. do we know much about how well WSD will protect the screen vs other protectors? it costs quite a pretty penny. i was wondering if any of you had experience with cheaper ones that'll offer the same level of protection? this one (https://www.amazon.com/LK-Protector...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YX5Y8Z1JQ3BMGQX5XTF8) is quite highly rated at amazon and has a fakespot rating of A. anyone tried it out?

The link you provided is a product that only has adhesive on the sides, don't waste your time there will be an air gap and the screen responsiveness will be garbage. Like you said those reviews are fake and you would be wasting your time and money if purchased. Yes the WhiteStone dome is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have had mine installed since Launch and not a single issue, it looks and feels like there isn't even a screen protector installed. For a product that could potentially save your phone from breaking, why skimp out? Would you buy cheaper tires on your car that are much more likely to fail? No.
I do believe that the Whitestone is worth the price.
I have been using tempered glass screen protectors for a few years now and the Whitestone is much easier to install, bacause of the jig that comes with it.
I have installed the Whitestone on two Note 9s. One for the wife and mine.
The only issue I have is a minor one. It seems a bit of excess glue is around the edges and atractslint from my pocket.
The coverage and feel is awesome.
Once you buy the full kit that includes the UV light, only the replacement kit is needed for any other install or phone. The replacement kit comes with the jig, but not the UV light.
I refrained from purchasing a phon ewith a curved screen until this type of screen protector was available. I refused to deal with the ege only attached protectors.
It is a bit pricey, but I highly recommend it. After all, you are protecting a thousand dollar phone. Twice what I've ever paid for a phone.
My experience with the whitestone: It is ok if you dont mind the sharp edges when you swipe from the sides. In my case, air bubbles started to appear at the right edge. Whitestone sent me one replacement which I am trying to sell, because I don't see it working in my case.
Pros:
Clear;
Sensitive;
Warranty (although you have to pay for shipping);
Cons:
Sharp edges;
Air bubbles appear at the edges after some time, 2 months in my case;
The adhesive left exposed at the sides attracts dust/lint;
how do you get the glue off when removing? I bought a twin pack but the first is quite scratched

The glue is attached to the glass, not your phone. Once you begin peeling the screen protector off you will notice the glue is only on the screen protector and your phone is left clean.
does the whitestone dome work with the Note 9 included case? as im fairly happy with the included case for now, but i wanna get the dome screen protector if its compatible.
What is the included case? In my country there is no included case, but it is compatible with the samsung silicone case.

Oh what?! I didn't realise that. Well in Australia it comes with a clear rubber/silicone type case inside the box. I believe it's the same one samsung sell on their accessories page. So I guess it'll be compatible then, sounds like the same one you're talking about. Thanks

I think it's worth the premium. Been using it since S7 days and installed, I think 7, on friends/family phones. Killed itself for 3 displays from drops so far.

You're welcome!
A benefit of the vast research, conducted for the purchase of A Note 9 for the wife. Thru that and setting it up for her, I was so impressed that I got a Note 9 for myself. The 8/512 version, of course.
My first non rootable phone in about 6 years.
I am digging it!

I was really hesitant on spending $40 on a 2 pack of tempered glass. But after biting the bullet i couldn't be happier with the glass. It fits and feels great. Doesnt disrupt the touch sensitivity and keeps the premium feel of the phone. I hated that the cheap ones that only have adhesive on the sides and dot matrix on screen made the phone feel super cheap because it felt like you were touching a plastic screen.

be careful, however, if the phone falls and hits the glass film, it does not protect the display and breaks, it happened to me on note 8.
In other words, it protects only from the graff.

No tempered glass is going to protect your screen from cracking. It helps but doesn't prevent it if the hit/drop is right.

If you want a tempered glass screen protector then the only option that works well (IMO) is the Whitestone Dome. The issue is (and I've tried many times) with Whitestone Dome is that the sides of your screen protector may get tiny bubbles even after you think the install was perfect. Mine showed up after a day and spread to the enter left and right side of the protector.

I preordered the case and got it today. It's awesome. Just what i wanted. I took the frosted one , i wanted to keep the white look of the phone. All the cases i found had that ugly shiny texture. It's super thin. Not made to go on a hike lol. You can find it here : https://mnmlcase.com/products/pixel-3a-mnml-case

Just ordered two in frosted white and matte black to try it out. Always been a fan of the ultra thin cases.
BTW I used a 75% code and two cases gets free shipping so it was like $15 shipped The code is good for the week I think: MNMLExclusive
I've heard people say cases like this tend to fall apart after a few months but with the discounted price it might still be worth it.

Wow that's a super good deal. You'll love it. It's so much better in real and the texture is really amazing.
I have this case since day one and no problems what so ever. To be honest I love this case so much I'm super gentle when putting my phone down lol.
Let me know what you think about it once you get it!

Do you like them? Can you show me how the black one looks like?
Does this case protect the camera glass a little ? Or is it so thin that the camera glass touches the surface on which the phone is put?

It's got a very slight raised lip around the camera cutout which means that the camera glass is protected. Definitely don't think that this is the strongest case on the market, but since the back of the phone is plastic not sure how strong a case needs to be.
These are on Amazon under a diff name for cheap. I can't post links cause I'm new, but just search "Slim Fit Google Pixel 3a". It was about $8 when I got it, but seems to have jumped up to $13.
Absolutely love mine. The milky white case on a white 3a is so dam sexy. Be careful putting it on, as I cracked my first one (they replaced it free ), as it's a super tight fit. Use the little tool it comes with.
If you love minamilistic, this is the case to get. Keeps the back nice and dry, where the stock back gets greasy after a few days from hand oils building up. This case stays dry for weeks and you don't have to constantly clean it.
If you are comfortable with Taobao, I bought a exactly same case on Taobao for 28 CNY (~4 USD).
Very slim and good looking case.
