Hi to all,
I'm considering buying something that can best protect my S4 display. What can you advise me against accidental falls or blows to the display?
What's best choice?
Cover?
Tempered display films?
Bumper?
Many thanks

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.

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.

I have been using the spigen crystal series screen protectors ( $8 for 3) and the neo hybrid case. Seems to protect pretty well.

$24, but amazing customer service, and 50% discount on future replacements in case protector shatters.
You get what you pay for.. eBay has cheaper ones, but doesn't have the same quality, nor after sales support.

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

This is what I use and I love it. Completely cannot tell it's there and 100% feels like the bare screen since it is of course glass just like the bare screen.

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!
I am expecting my S6 in the mail this week, i am concerned about dropping it but not crazy about using cases for a phone so im looking for the best tempered glass protector that is currently out there, dont really care what the price is as long as it has no significant issues with it .
I am also concerned about the back of the phone, has anyone found anything to protect that that isnt as intrusive as a full case?
You can cosider the Otterbox or Araree branded tempered glass protectors. Both are good with no observed halos.
I didn't want a case for mine either so I just went with a dbrand carbon fiber skin for the back and also for the camera lense
Sometimes. no film on your phone is much better than having one one your phone.
Phantom glass is the best. It uses actual gorilla glass, not just any run of the mill "tempered glass"

i've got the Otterbox glass and can confirm that it's halo free!
You can consider the bumper case and a tempered glass screen.
Can everyone post their screen protector and case combination that works (no peeling edges). A few combinations were mentioned in individual posts but it would be good to have them listed together. Post away!
Has anyone found a good screen protector for the Note 7 that works with either the Spigen Neo Hybrid case or Caseology Parallax series cases by chance?
How about a protector with either a Samsung S-view or Spigen S-view case?
Thank you for this thread. Was about to create a similar one.
I have a Note 7 on pre-order and want to ensure a screen protector + case is with me before it arrives. Have spent a few hours going through various threads looking a for good combo that works without the screen protector peeling from the edges.
Ideally, would like to buy a tempered glass protector and a clear case. Any suggestions, please?
Also, does the official Samsung clear case and screen protector work well together? If tempered glass is a no-go, that would be my fallback option till something better comes along.
I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and now thinking of ordering this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product..._act_image_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A7ZMMLW05YAY7
adhesive on top and bottom no on edges and it's size is case friendly. Still waiting for the UAG Cobalt

Nice! So no edges of the screen protector are peeling up from the edges? My wife's got that one case too and her Skinomi Techskin screen protector is doing well, the protector is still on pretty well but there is a very slight peel on one edge but it's slight and sits back down for a few days if you push it back down. My Spigen Neo Hybrid case doesn't play well with my Skinomi Techskin screen protector. I've gotta find another screen protector that'll work.

Yeah so far I have no problems I switch between the parallax case and the spigen rugged armor and everything has been good. Zagg has always been a favorite of mine on all my phones and they will only set you back like 25.00.

Verizon tempered screen protector and Samsung brand LED case.
I have the JETech from amazon uk with Spigen neo hybrid crystal. Works perfectly have checked with multi touch test app and there is no problem with touch sensitivity anywhere. No sign of any halo or other video. problem.
Easy install just have to line up with touch key lights.
I'm using icarez screen film with choetech ultra thin hybrid case and it doesn't peel off the icarez since the bumper goes over a protector a bit and holds it down. Also got another thin tpu Myriann that works with it the same way. Tried spigen ultra hybrid and it sometimes will peel it off very slightly but a few adjustments and it's good again. With the ringke fusion hybrid case forget it. Peel galore!

Adheres the glass over the whole area? Or only the top and bottom from the jtech glass?
The Samsung oem clear case is working very well. Comfortable and feel solid. Better than the s6 s view case that I had that broke easily.
I will prefer a tempered glass but unfortunately none is good. Currently using oem Samsung SP. Affordable. Fit well at the edge. But can see lines over it after scratch and using s pen. But that's the purpose to protect the screen right
I have ordered OnePlus 6 today.. And waiting that would come tomorrow.. This time it's almost 95 percent glass so protector would be must need to keep the device mint, especially for the BACK!!
So Let me start of the thread for the OnePlus 6 Screen Protector.
I have ordered OnePlus 6 Full body screen protector from the Gadgetshieldz.
And I hope this time it's merely impossible to get the best TGP soon. Please let know your suggestions.
Finally got my Gadgetshieldz protectors and applied it. The protector is fitting well and all the holes are perfect. Important part is, its providing lot of grip to the OP6 which is very slippery without the protector. Might go for a Tempered Glass for the screen if I find a decent one but the back protector is a keeper. Take a look at the images of the protectors applied on my OP6. Can't go wrong with these for a low price.

This is the one I bought:

And this was the bundle:

What is the difference between the protective case and the bumper?
I think bumper protects the screen better. But if you use a tempered glass you cannot use bumper as the covered lips of the bumper will damage the tempered glass.

Anyone had any experience with those nano liquid protections (ie: https://www.spigen.com/collections/oneplus/products/screen-protector-glas-tr-nano-liquid )?
I ordered the phone with the Nylon bumper case. I almost pulled the trigger on the tempered glass protector as well but I was worried it wouldn't fit with the bumper case and it appears I was right.
The great news is that this phone comes with a pre-applied plastic screen protector. So the screen will be protected right from the beginning. This will buy us time for the release of more tempered glass protectors that may fit with bulkier cases like the nylon bumper case.

With the ultimate bundle, you get the choice of bumper case and tempered glass. It wouldn't make sense to bundle them if they didn't work together, but who knows. The strange this is that the bundle that includes only a case and glass, doesn't offer a bumper case.
I have the bundled case and the sandstone. Both fit with the OnePlus tempered glass. I would guess the bumper does too having looked at it in the shop but not 100% as I didn't put it on.
Since they sell the bumper and the tempered glass together and there are no notes in the tempered glass that it does not work with the bumper case, i am really hoping that you can use the 2 together since that is what i bought. if they don't work together, i will have to send the bumper back.

I did not have experience with this particular brand but ordered from AliExpress for $3.50 each about six months ago for my Samsung Galaxy S8+. It's been six months w/o a screen protector and not a single scratch insight. I don't have the rough use of my phone but don't baby it either. Long and short of it is: This type of product MAY work and just to try it out, I would not spend $24. $4 and wait of 2 weeks should get you the same product at a much cheaper price to try.

One question. Are you sure the official TGP includes a back protector?. In Spanish online store don`t say anything about this.
Greetings from Spain.
When you uncheck the body-protector, you pay 9.95$ instead of 11.95$ so pretty sure it does.

This is the official TGP from OnePlus.com online shop. In the description says :

Don't say it has a back protector.
Greetings from Spain.
I am sorry mate, I got you wrong.
I was talking about gadgetshieldz, there a back protector is included.
Oneplus official tgp doesn't include a back protector (and @brangalm says "hopefully" so he isn't sure either), but I ordered it as well.
I had a previous case with a screen protector built in for my S9+ and it worked great, but I'm having issues now. I found this one:
Case with Protector, but it says not compatible with fingerprint ID. I assume this is because of the fingerprint built into the screen?
Does anyone know of a case that has a screen protector AND works with the fingerprint reader? Or is the built in protector not possible due to the fingerprint reader in the screen now?
I would assume no built in screen protectors will work..in order for the FPS to work, the screen protector has to basically be attached to the screen with zero air gap between phone and protector..

and this was on the S10+?
For screen protector I would go with whitestone dome. For me it acts the same as if I had the preinstalled samsung film. I would then go on amazon and check out reviews and questions for whitestone dome. People tend to post their comparable cases. I am using the UAG Monarch and it fits without a problem.
I HIGHLY recommend the Whitestone protectors. The adhesive makes them SUBSTANTIALLY more chip/crack resistant and the touch sensitivity is light years ahead of other protectors (like ZAGG). It was my go-to on Note and now S10+.
I am a minimalist and finally found a case that's thin but also adds SOME protection. TORRAS on Amazon. The hard plastic has a matte finish, amazing touch and feel but little protection. The silicone option is thin, has ridges to protect camera and screen but slides in pants and pockets easily. It DOES offer drop protection relatively.

I actually just picked up the TORRAS Slim on Amazon, not sure if it's the same one you have. Currently I'm using the Spigen Rugged Armor... but it's too thin in my opinion.
