Good day! the defender comes with its own screen protector but is not an anti glare one, and out on a sunny day the screen is just not visible, will i have problems if i install one inside the case? will it still be an antiglare screen even if there is another screen protector over it? i dont want to remove the builtin one just so that everybody knows.
thanks!

The only thing I see happening is that it would make it weird to look at since the screen protector in front is still not anti-glare. You might get the effect you want by buying a cheap anti-glare protector and installing it on the Otterbox's existing protector.
thanks for the reply! but do you mean to install the antiglare protector ON the otterbox screen protector itself? it kind of makes sense though.
I always punch the Otterbox plastic screen protector out of the case (camera side too if it has one). Seems silly to put a cheap piece of plastic over a nice screen. Then you can add the film, over the screen, which does look better than the Otterbox plastic.
I'm a huge fan of the Otterbox Defender series except for the built in screen protector. Can't stand it. Ripped mine out and have found that I can put the defender case on on top of the Zagg Glass ( my personal favorite screen protector ) , and had zero issues, even dropped it several times with no problems.
The new s5 defender case has enough problems snapping together without a screen protector on it its a very tight fit however the silicon on this one really holds the show together. If you do intend to to fit one as someone said removing the built in one might have to be the way to go as i seriously don't think you would be able to clip the shells together.

Did this with my s4. The plastic will tend to adhere to the sticky screen protector making it look like water In between. A lot of lifeproof cases do this too. I heard baby powder wiped on and off the back of the Otterbox plastic screen would help cure that. Popping out the built in screen protector works better In my opinion. You still protect the screen from scratches and almost as much from falls.

Ordered this off eBay and its great. Covers the whole glass on the phone and does NOT have the halo effect around the glass but only near the home button which isn't much. The borders are black to possibly hide the halo, and or parts of the glass that isn't touching the screen itself. Pictures were taken on a Nexus 5 so you know where I'm getting at.

Here are the pictures. I'll post the eBay link in just a bit.
Is that the Araree brand one?
I guess its REMAX, but I don't know why OP didn't gave the link when he opened this thread.

Just added the link. This one doesn't seem to have a brand but they may all come from the same factory with different branding.
hii .. how does the phone fit in a case ? does the edges of the screen protector get pushed by the case ?
Is that really full cover? edge cover?
It does cover edges but i would like to see one on gold s6. Also to OP, how is around home button now?
The glass covers the entire front of the phone. The camera, proximity sensor and wraps around the home button. I haven't tested it with other cases besides the ringke slim case and it is just fine. I'm guessing it should be fine with others as well. There is no portion of the front glass exposed with this on except for this home button and the ear speaker.

Does the glass stick all the way to the edges? Or is it more like my Nillkin Glass protection is?
Along the entire phones edges the glass protection will not stick all the way. It makes it look like ****.
Maybe all glass protection is like this?

Yes, all the way to the edge. It has a black border around the edges so if there is any halo effect, you cannot see it. I've tested it with both the Ringke Fusion and Slim case and it's not pushing the screen protector up. I imagine some cases may lift the protector.
Thanks, just ordered one.
Nillkin has an even cooler tempered glass protector, look here:
Definitely going to check this out in black

I'm wondering if the Spigen Neo Hybrid and/or the Slim Armor/Tough Armor would push up this all-around protector.
How much of a lip does the Ringke Fusion/Slim have?
Great just what i was looking for!
Thanks for sharing OP

My guess is this will get pushed up just as much as the other full cover edge to edge screen protectors from Nikllin, UTLK, & Collreall, since it still goes to the edge of the phone. I cannot imagine this one is any thinner than the others to not cause problems.
For the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I think you are stuck with the screen protectors that only cover the screen and not to the edge, or the PET protectors.
Blooody marvellous!!

My guess as well. It does wrap all around the phone and the glass is edge to edge unlike others. It may lift with other protectors who have a lip around the screen. Its a great protector and wanted to share with everyone here since we are all looking for one that covers the whole front glass and this is it.

I purchased a Seidio Surface and Tech Armor clear screen protectors. The problem is that the screen protector fits nearly edge to edge. The pressure from the new double insulated surface cases causes the screen protector to bubble/lift/bunch on the edge in certain places.
I used some scissors to trim the screen protector with some success.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a screen protector that fits within the edges of Seidio Surface?
Thanks.
I purchased the intelliarmor case friendly tempered glass for mine. I have a surface case on the way so I will try these in a couple days and post back.

Are you speaking of film protectors right? By the way how do you like the case? Im trying to decide between the seidio surface and the speck. Are the volume buttomes or power buttons hard to press?
Must be. Unless he trimmed Tempered Glass with his scissors!

I have always used Seidio surfaces cases specifically because they looked good, slim, and they provided decent protection (offered a holster option).
The problem I have found after about 5 phones (Gnex (2), Moto X 2013 (2), S4 (2), and the N6) is that they actually hurt the phone. When I say hurt, they create these little scuffing marks where ever the case comes in contact with the phone. This comes from fine dust/sand and dirt that gets in between the case and phone. I had good results with my N6 as I would take the case off once a week and clean/blow the case/phone.
My Nexus 6 looks good, but not perfect after about 6 months.
I *think* Seidio is on to this effect as all the new phones have a dual TPU soft shell and hard shell. I am hopeful this fixes this issue.
Regarding the buttons, they are harder to press and not perfect. It is certainly functional and not a big issue to me. You do notice it. It doesn't bother me that much since the phone turns on by the finger sensor anyway. I really never use the power button anymore.

The Seidio case and IntelliArmor tempered glass screen protector are a near perfect match. There is just a tiny edge between the glass and the case so you don't have to worry about the case pushing on the glass protector. The glass itself is very nice, I purchased some cheaper tempered glass protectors from Ebay and you can really see the difference. They are very clear and even though they do show fingerprints and smudges, they are way less noticeable than the cheaper protectors I bought.
Just bought the phone, ordered a case and a screen protector
Just to found that I had to use one or another because when I put the pone in the case, the screen glass just peels off...
Xtreme gusrd Spartan.. idk if they are still available having a sale. But works for my phone and case

I don't think olive oil is a big deal... Just apply a generous amount and it'll stick for a while. I'm up to a month I think and it still looks brand new. Yes it's case friendly. I have a heavy duty car and slim case. Both don't mess with the screen at all
I couldn't stand the white Halo around the edges with my previous screen protector, so I ordered the Skinomi wet install one. It's not tempered glass, but more like a thick film. Very happy with the results. There are no bubbles and no air around the edges. You can't even tell there is a screen protector on the phone. Now I know it won't protect the screen in a hard fall, but it will definitely prevent scratches. Goes really well with my thin Tudia case.

I'm not a big fan of thick tempered screen protectors in the first place. They don't cover the entire phone like the film ones do. I've never cracked a screen on any of my phones and just need something to protect the screen from scratches.
I use TPU wet application film protection.
Skinomi works fine with my Tudia GLOST
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..

One of my friend used Gadgetshieldz case fit screen protector and he used many third party cases. Those fits are really great But I've ordered normal screen protector from them, waiting to order case fit once they released.

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. I feel like if I drop my phone, I have little protection.
