Recently purchased a full body protection, similar to that of invisibleshield etc. from the following site:
http://www.devdef.com/products/for-htc-desire-hd
Hoping that it has no orange peel effect, loss of sensitivity of the screen or yellow tinting after time. Will give a review (with pictures if possible) when I receive it and my Desire HD!
nice, buy dono, dont like the Full Body Protection, a silicon case is better...

Yea thats fair doo's. My friend has the Samsung Galaxy S with a silicone case and whilst it looks good and gives it a firm feel to it, I definately myself prefer a clear full body protector. I had a bodyguardz protector for my HD2 and loved the feel and look of it. Nice to know that it was protected without covering up any of the beautiful design.
But yea its all down to the individual preference!
This body protector is a lot cheaper than Zagg which was quoting I think $20-$30 last time I looked. Does anyone know what the difference is?

Im not too sure on the difference, only the price difference at this stage. I have received the protector and so as soon as I receive the phone I'll apply it and provide my own review (with pictures) for other members to decide upon
Can you tell what the material is like?
Is it slightly stretchy and "soft" like Zagg's offerings (i.e. if you dig a fingernail into it, does it spring back?) or is it more rigid and unpliable like a brando protector?
I'm a big advocate of Zagg's products - but they dont seem too fussed in making anything for the DHD yet...
I am using CAPDA CASE to protect my Desire HD. The best protector case I used.

Used to have ZAGG full body protection. It was nice for a few months. But then it started peeling away along the edges, the dirt and lint started getting under the film... urghh, dusgusting. Got rid of that.
Hey guys, so I have never used a glass screen protector before, I have always used Ghost Armor's screen protector which is almost like a rubberized material. Anyways...I was looking at the Spigen nano glass screen protector but I am having a difficult time justifying spending $35, but not sure if I trust the knock-off ones either. Keep in mind my phone is ALWAYS in either my Otterbox Defender case, Otterbox Commuter Case, or UAG Maverick case. I guess my question is...is it worth getting one of these glass screen protectors if I am always using the above cases??
Yes it is worth it. I myself had zagg invisible shields for years. Similiar to ghost armour. I'm pretty happy with tempered glass screen protector. Here is a link that will help on where to buy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457815

No it's not. Im the same way. Always having cases with great proection. The glass screen protector is ideal for someone not using a case. Or a very thin case. I have a body glove balastic wich has great protection and now my temperedglass screen protector. And I love it.

Well I will get the Spigen one when I have an extra $35 to spend I guess lol
I can share my experience with glass protectors.
Two months ago, I dropped my phone during a phone conversation at the height of 1.7-1.8 meters. It fell on rough cement ground, and I had no case on, so I naturally feared what I might see when I went to pick up my new galaxy s4.
All four corners of my bezel/frame were severely dented and scratched.
The glass protector was shattered to pieces. But to my surprise, my screen was in perfect condition. Upon inspection, found that adhesive between protector and galaxy s4 screen helped the protector to absorb and redistribute force of the drop, rather than the screen taking the hit.
My investment in glass protector was well justified on this account. Besides, it feels much better than rubbery ghost armor.
Mind you, I have GA on my ipad3, ipad mini, iphone 4 and 5, and galaxy tab.
And the smoothness of glass screen protector is incomparable.
Hope this helps make yours decision.

I don't understand why people want to ruin premium latest Gorilla glass generation with screen protector. Even tempered glass ones will never have same features like original Gorilla glass, especially I am talking about clearness, smooth gliding and oleo-phobic covering for easy cleaning. I would recommend quality leather pouch or S-view cover case to protect your screen, also handling phone with care would prolong its lifetime significantly.
Well my point is I use very protective cases...not slim cases...but maybe I will take the plunge on the spigen screen protector. Any of you have any experience with the cheap knock off ones?

You've never been to the beach then.
A grain of sand can scratch the gg3.
I like glass screen protectors.
Gorilla glass can scratch and break.
I have this protector:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171172132327?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Apparently out of stock. When they have them, they are about $8.00.
There is also, this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321245033521?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I didn't buy it because I like the home button closed in.
I would skip the Spigen glass. Too expensive and crappy customer support.
I had one and since I didn't buy it from an "authorized dealer" they won't offer the 50% discount on replacement.
It was authentic and passed their web check but nothing.
So I'll buy the cheap ones.

No,
I got sucked into these cheapies for the price and if I were to mess it up i wouldn't be wasting 30 bucks. They are good to practice with and i honed my skill with them. Once i put on a high quality screen protector the difference was near night and day from touch feel and feedback to how clear and cleaner everything looks
I'm still waiting for my glass protectors so i can test them out. Like i said those cheap ones from E-bay are only good for practice and quick protection until you can get better.
As for those asking why have it?
Gorilla Glass 3 is better then others but still not indestructible. Having a little more protection never hurts. As one person pointed out their $6-$30 investment may have saved their $500+ product. Well worth it imo.

Spigen's tempered glass is oleo-phobic treated glass. I cannot tell the difference, in smoothness of glide, etc. And it holds up pretty damn well to wear and tear. I had it for 13 months on my Note II and it didn't scratch much.
For the OP, if you even have to worry about it, get it. I have this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPIGEN-SGP-...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item3a83e3d3ef
I had it on my Note 2, my wife's Iphone 5S, my (sold) nexus 5), and my S4. On my Note 2, I have it COMPLETELY encased in shock absorbing rubber and plastic. But if the phone falls and it's JUST RIGHT, the shock will still travel through the phone. Also, you can drop your phone nad have it hit the edge of a table and the case isn't gonna do a damn thing for it. I am a runner so I run a hell of a lot. and I use my phone once in a while when I need to change songs, answer a call, etc. When it's 3 degrees and your hands are cold, you can drop a phone. I did, and the glass protector cracked. no mark on my Note. I was able to recently sell my Note for $325, I wouldn't be able to do that if the screen was cracked!
IMO, totally worth the $20 I spent on it.
Buy it on ebay, it's still directly from Spigen, and it's $10 cheaper.

That's a good price.
I had the Spigen Nano and now have the cheaper ones.
I honestly can't tell the difference between the $8 and the $35 Spigen Nano except for the thickness.
YMMV, but I can get 3 of the ones I bought for the same price as this Spigen.

Personally-and others may disagree- I have glass screen protector from mime. Price is steep, but with 50% off, no hassle warranty from mime, it was worth it. Mind you, I got three replacements because I dropped my phone on concrete, then accidently dropped ipad on my phone. Both cases resulted in glass protector shattering, but the screen itself is completely fine.
On top of that, I use otterbox commuter when I go mt climbing, or camping.

Mmm ok...MIME at the moment cost 24$
Is the MIME case friendly? I have the spigen case so a screen protector needs to have minimal coverage to make room for the case lip.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
If you have a spigen case, buy a spigen tempered glass protector. They all are all comparable with each other as long as they are spigen brand. Personally I had a mime feather lite tempered glass protector and it worked great. They're quite thin, but thin enough to where it will crack if flexed too much during installation. I recommend a spigen glassTr protector. They're ultra durable and don't diminish the capability of the screen at all. Well worth the price.
As far as cases go, I'm using a spigen neo hybrid. I've dropped my phone from about six feet up a few times now, and the case has protected the phone perfectly. Its also fairly thin so it doesn't add a very much bulk at all. As far heavy protection goes, otter box ultimately has superior protection.

With mime, there is small space around the edges, for cases with curling lips.
I have spigen neo hybrid, and ultra thin case. Additionally, otterbox commuter and samsung official case (not sview nor flip cover). And I can say all the cases fit without a problem.
Otterbox or something similar. If you can get a discount even better, but the price is worth the protection these type of cases provide.

Just make sure you buy it from them directly (their Amazon or Ebay outlet).
Buy from *ANYWHERE ELSE* and they do not support you. Even if it can be verified that the product is authentic.
This is egregious and I will never buy their product again.

This is why I didn't feel bad buying a knockoff slimarmor s-view. At least I know I'm not getting no customer service and the price reflects that. Spigen gets the benefit of claiming awesome customer service, but only for a select group who buy through 2 options when multiple others are available. It's like samsung voiding your warranty because you bought your phone from AT&T and not verizon or sprint.

Mime doesn't sell any cases.
This SPIGEN SGP Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector GLAS.t NANO SLIM protected my screen like a champ when it fell, screen first, from aprox. 5 feet.
I like the MIME better and is what i have. I also have the Neo Hybrid and the slim armor cases from Spigen, I like the MIME Ghost glass best for 2 reasons.
first, The hardness rating is a 9H and the Spigen is an 8H rating so MIME is harder to scratch technically.
Second, The MIME is a .32mm thickness compared to Spigen's .40mm. I like this because with the very thin case edges the MIME still is recessed so if/when you put the phone face down it isn't resting on the glass protector.
1 more thing. MIME (others likely do too) has a thin layer of coating to resist finger prints. Solvents like windex and such will break that down. Use something for cleaning LCD and you will be better off. My first MIME Ghost Glass i used windex all the time and my finger prints were getting bad on it (way easier) and my 2nd one i only use the actual screen cleaner stuff and after 3 or 4 months it's still hard to get it all mucked up with prints.
does anybody have any experience with the Spigen Slim Armor View? i wanna get one of these along with a nano screen protector from Spigen as well, but i want to know what is my best choice between the Spigen cases

Unrelated to the thread topic, but I have one in white and love it. I would suggest going through the slim view armor thread and finding a reputable knockoff dealer and getting it from there. Spigen will not replace it most times when it fails, even if you order it through an 'official' store and the hinges on the official case sometimes break.
I paid $15 for my knockoff and after 6 months of use on a construction site its still like new aside from the scratches. A glass screen protector does make it harder to press the home button to light up the s-view display, but that's a function of the screen protector thickness, not the case. With an aluminum home button sticker it goes back to a very light press.
I also run it with an official spigen glass.tr protector (Picked it up for $20, otherwise I wouldn't buy it).
Oh I complained about Spigen, but did not indicate what I use.
I use a glass screen protector. Glass all the way.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171172132327?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
They show up fast and only cost $9 or so. They are a little thicker than the Spigen Nano but for me it doesn't matter.
It definitely doesn't matter at $9.
Spigen tempered glass screen protector all the way.
Serious they are really just the best. Not only in terms of protection, it's also super slim and ultra clear.
anti reflexion screen protector, best!
as per the title, which is the preferred screen protector for this device. thinking of getting one soon (an S4 that is)

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.

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.

$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.

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.
What is the best screen protector for s22 ultra?
A good case with slightly raised guards on all sides like the Zizo Bolt or the display will likely get broke.
Easy to apply hygrocell screens like the Gorilla IQ Sheild work well, are inexpensive and last 6+months.
Also, be careful using the glass protectors (non hydrogel), because they can interfere with the fingerprint reader. I had a bad experience with this, and now I'm using only hydrogel that works fine.
Hidrogel protectors are a very good option, they are cheap, no need to buy from expensive brands, because they are very cheap, you can buy several, and replace them as often as you desire, they are really easy to aply, and no bubbles after some hours after the colocation in case some remain at the moment of placement, I bought 6 of them for 3 dollars in aliexpress

Do you all have a recommended screen protector from amazon that I can buy?
some time ago, I used armor suit protectors, they are made in England, but are of the "wet" aplication method , those protectors are slightly thicker, and have an "orange skin" like appearance whe the screen is off, are self healing to some degree, I think they were 8-10 dollars for front and back set
I'm not searching for something thick, I'm searching for something strong.
I can't find hydrogel with good reviews on amazon, there are some on aliexpress.
Can someone send me a link to a good sp?
Just get this one and thank me later EGV Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
I think you can get this on aliexpress. Hydrogel film that protects front sides and back. it's what I'm using for myself and my wife.
