Do any of you guys own the case above?
And know if the screen protector is removable?
Will a tempered glass protector work with this case?
Its removable. Its just held on by some glue on the inside. I have the pleson tempered glass screen protector and it works fine with the case.
It will work, just pop it out and put on your glass screen shield.
Can confirm that you can just pop out the plastic scratch guard and use it with a glass screen protector.
I might try the glass protector with mine eventually. All defenders i have owned. I eventually removed the plastic protector as they will inevitably get scratched. Despite the bulk, this is the only case I have found with a holster that doubles with a kickstand for the MXPE so I will stick with it.

If you're using an Otterbox Defender case with a glass screen protector please post which brand of glass protector you're using and how well it fits w/ the Defender. Also, does your protector have a halo?
I have the Defender, as well as the Zagg glass. Safe to say it has the halo effect. The Halo effect is barely noticeable, as in, its there but I dont mind cause its barely noticeable. It fits fine, the thing is, in the case of the Zagg, the edges other than the top, are INSIDE the zagg edges.

Are you using the HDX or the regular 9h Zagg tempered glass?
I have an HDX I never got around to using that I'll try before I order anything else since it's been too long to return it.
You're saying the Defender case edges stop short of the Zagg (other than the top) so you have a gap between the Zagg edges and the Defender lip? Does that cause any problem?
I've used the Zagg Glass and Otterbox Alpha Glass with the Defender (stock screen removed) with no problems at all.
I replaced the Zagg (because of side halos) with the Alpha and the only halo I have is up near the earpiece and you don't see it while it's in the Defender case.
I quit using the Defender after I noticed the bumps from the hard plastic liner was damaging the painted sides of my Note 4. :crying:
The bottom and both sides of tempered glass protectors do not even touch the Defender when the stock screen is removed. The top is the only part that is under the Defender's plastic and this causes no problems at all.
Here's a couple pictures where you can see the Alpha glass in the Defender.
love this combo !!

How is the silicone case for tackiness as they can be dust/fluff magnets, I usually go for TPU cases because of this.
John.
Wikl the tempered glass cover the whole face of the tablet? I've been seeing a lot of tempered glass which is at least a millimeter short on all sides
The silicone case does pick up dust but since it's foodgrade silicone it is easy to wash plus it's the most rugged sturdy light weight silicone case I have ever owned...
As far as the tempered glass skinomi protector goes. Yes a 1mm space around the entire edged exists but I like it...

Do use a stylus, and if so do you run into any issues with the tempered glass?
Sorry I don't have a need for a stylusso I haven't tested it on the .33 mm. Tempered glass...
I can tell you that the glass screen protector is very thin and that I haven't had any issues with touch sensitivity..

After giving up for now on tempered glass, I put a film screen protector on my phone.
I have a Spigen TPU case but when I put it on it pushes the film off the glass.
I have tried several times but the result is always the same.
Has anyone put a film screen protector on their phone and found a case that will not mess with it?
Spigen Thin Fit + Xtremeguard wet app worked lovely on my S7 edge. Have the same case, just waiting on my Skinomi to arrive for the Note 7. Poor baby has been sitting in a box since last Thursday
This suggestion might not be a solution for everyone but life is a series of compromises I guess. I've bought half a dozen glass screen protectors(all the ones available on amazon) and several phone cases as I was unwilling to go without a full glass protector on my phone so this is the solution i came up with. Confirmed repeatable, I'm preforming this on my 3rd PH-1(pictures) while i write this. (don't worry, its not because they broke!)
So basically:
Orzero 9H glass screen protector + Poetic Guardian Case

https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Poetic-Resistant-Protection-Full-Body/dp/B078T3N1S7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539386315&sr=8-1&keywords=essential+poetic
The glass protector itself is the best of all the glass protectors i've tried so far but it still has its shortcomings. The glue is applied to the black thin line around the border which is ok on the bottom but the top is too thin. Once installed it "floats" around up top near the camera. NOTE: Eventually the glass gets the spotted rainbow effect in the glass center. Not noticeable once the screens on but some i know would like to know this before hand. Slick glass feel tho, no more finger printy then the factory glass. With a hard press you can move it around and recenter it but im sure eventually it will fall off left alone.
That is where the case comes in. The case is two piece, the bumper that is raised around the screen(inner case), overlaps and has a plastic cheapy protector glued in place.
Clean and apply the glass protector. Clean the edges of the glass protector and ensure its centered. Take the inner case and remove the cheap plastic protector that it comes with. LEAVE THE GLUE on the inner case. Install the inner case over the phone ensuring the protector is centered once again before pressing down around the edges firmly. Install remaining outer case rubber.
You now have an Essential phone WITH A GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR!! The case is IMO not the prettiest but feels great, easy to grab and grip, cutouts and port covers all work properly, buttons are still clicky. My wife even likes it more then her retired iPhone, and that's saying something
Remember to press against the glass protector at the bottom mainly, if you need to remove the inner case so it does not lift.
Hope this helps those PH-1 owners who wish to enjoy the security of a glass screen protectors. :highfive:
Poetic's glass screen protector also works with the Tudia Glost case. I think that was posted in the cases thread some time ago. That's the combination I'm using now. So far the Poetic screen protector has stayed on very well. It has the same rainbow issue when the screen is off, but like you said, you can't see it when the screen is on.
Ya, i avoided that case since lots of reviews about the back cracking upon dropping it. Haven't seen the peotic brand glass protectors either but im sure this works with any protector and case with similar designs
I can not find a good quality drop-protective case with glass screen (not plastic film). I do not need waterproofing just good drop protection. Must have glass screen protector as all my plastic protectors are oil smudge prone. Any ideas are most appreciated.

This is a great deal at $9.95. it includes two glass protectors and so far is not bad. Hard to line up over the front camera port but had good drop protection and feels nice in hand.
Go with Spigen Tough Armor. Two drops on a concrete garage floor... No issues.
Get a "Lightning King" (L[emoji298]K) off Amazon for cheap. You get three glass protectors which have camera cut out. Easy install.

i use a unicorn beetle pro for my case. i ripped out the case by submerging the case in warm water for a few minutes. the screen protector on this case sucks ass, but the case itself is fantastic.
