So ever since i got my one X i've been on a quest for a good screen protector. i started with cheapo ebay ones that were 6 for $2 but the edges lifted because it was a full screen protector and the quality wasnt great(they would scratch easily). I just recently bought the SGP screen protectors thinking because they were cut smaller i wouldnt have the issue of it lifting at the edges, but i still do. The quality of the SGP is good, it is not as fingerprint resistant as i had hoped but i still have the issue of it lifting. My gf has the Zagg HD on her phone which looks pretty good, does still have a bit of orange peel effect to it but otherwise covers a lot of the phone and does not lift at all because it is a wet application screen protector. I may have to buy one if i end up exhausting all other options, but till then i was wondering if anyone has found a screen protector they like on ebay before i pony up $30 for the Zagg HD at best buy
ZAGG HD, just do it
i wish i had bought a couple of those skinomis when they were .99 . i plan to use a case but from what ive seen the protector could work fine with a case

Those were apparently a bad batch and they wouldn't fully dry or something.
I just got an AT&T branded one from the AT&T store (I got 3 of them for $12) and they applied it for me.
I must say it is very nice. It doesnt have the lifting at the edges because it doesn't go all the way to the edge, it just goes to the extent of the flat part of the screen.
Its clarity is nice and it has a good matte finish.
I picked up the full front and back Zagg yesterday had AT&T throw it on mine yesterday. They put it on for free and I'm liking it.

the original or the HD? the original zagg is pretty awful in terms of orange peel and how your finger sticks to it. rohan when you say matte do you mean the antiglare? how does the screen protector do with scratches, some scratch more easily than others and become pointless because youre looking at a screen covered in scratches

I've only had it on for a day so I can't really tell you much about its durability, sorry.
And yeah I mean antiglare.
I said this in another thread about the Zagg HD.... The HD is FAR better than the regular Zagg in that there is ZERO orange-peel effect and it doesn't go all the way to the edge of the display so a case of any type won't pull up the edges at all. I've always used Zagg shields and because I used to work for Best Buy mobile I have become rather adept at installing them. The Zagg HD also gives you that 'glass' feel as well. It's almost like having nothing on your display at all.

it does have some orange peel effect, nowhere near as much as the original but lets be real, its a sham. there should be no zagg hd, this is just an improved product over their original, unfortunately this is how businesses propose they make money. Make a better product and charge a premium for it. if it weren't $30 I would have had one the day it came out. i'd pay the original $15 zagg price but double that is just ludicrous LUDA!!!

Thanks! watched a couple of reviews on ebay, doesn't look like theres any orange peel in the videos. ordered 2 front for my one x and a front and back for my future galaxy S3
I always buy the cheaper ones from eBay that don't have the 'water' application method. Tried that once, never again. Bad results.
I go for the Hong Kong ones, or USA resellers of them since they are cheap and work great for a couple years or more. I use disposable gloves in a humid bathroom to apply so as not to get much fingerprints/dust. Works great most of the time.
I also get the soft silicon cases from ebay which usually wrap around the front enough to cover the edges of the protector so I haven't noticed any edge peeling so far on the screen protector.
Any recommendations?
Looking to grab a glass protector from aliexpress but since the phone is relatively new, not sure of anyone's experience there. Previously got one for my S4 there and it was perfect.
Please report/merge if a similar thread already exists! TIA!

I first tried ZAGG glass but then I ended up using Galaxy S5 Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM Privacy. Both were pretty impressive to me. ZAGG has lifetime warranty for spigen I think you only get 90 days both cost the same $39.99 and ZAGG Glass is $34.99 on the website

Yep, aware of the bigger and more common brands. They are also usually more than 5 times the price of an equivalent one from China though!
Wondering if anyone had experience with the glass protectors from the Asian market?
I have used iLoome and Spigen products before and they do not impress me for the price I pay relative to alternatives at that point in time.

Well there's a saying you get what you pay for...pay for something cheap its obviously going to be cheap...if you pay for something that's pricey then most of the time the quality is great but here's some links hopefully it helps!

i have different view on this matter. i'd recommend you to use asian brands because they are economical, yet good quality.
i'm using niilkin tempered glass, it's korean brand, it cost me just 14$ but i'm so satisfied with it, it fits perfectly with s5, finger-print resistance, real glass and super responsive. it's what you see is what you get.
hope it helps you
I ordered this one from DX :

When it arrives I can answer the question.
But it will take at least one more week I guess.

Great glass
I am using the Lunnitt 9H (purchased from Amazon), love it and can't say a thing bad about the protector.
Thanks for the suggestion all!
And if you really think that protector you get for paying the overpriced $30+ is any better than the $5 one... The marketing got you good...
I use baseus, got it for about 15$.
I have it for about a month and a half now and it's still fingerprint resistant, very easy to clean, no scratches, and it's glass so it feels good to touch, i can't stand the plastic films.
I don't intend on finding out about shatter resistance though :laugh:
Got the tech armor one, pretty good and very easy to put on, it was for $15 at amazon

I got the Hero Glass from Amazon. $15 Awesome! Sorry, can't post a link yet.
Anybody pop off Otterbox defender screen protector and use a glass one? Ive been thinking of trying it but not sure if it will fit. I hate the defender case protector and love the clarity of the glass ones.
Using m-glass. On all devices. Very nice and shipping to Russia cheap. Feel like no protector.
I am loving this tempered glass. Couldnt see paying 35+ for the spigen ones, so i went with this one for 16 bucks, free shipping with prime. Check out my review http://goo.gl/PgNdcZ
Get one for yourselves! Definitely an amazing, quality product.
Alright just thought id share this with you guys. Take it easy!

Have to agree. $15.99 on Amazon and a great product. Looks like its a $40 one with the packaging and quality.
Bought mine for 6$ on ebay. I was warned not to buy those because there may be quality, clearness, responsiveness issues. I can tell you that those people couldn't be more wrong. My 6$ glass screen protector cannot be more identical to a spigen glass tr, which i decided to boycott that company after their horrible customer service last year with the note 3. My 6$ screen protector is as clear, as fingerprint repellant, as easy to clean and has no scratches after 3 months. This opened my eyes on how we quickly throw our money at big companies because "we think" their products are of higher caliber. Couldn't be more wrong. BTW, here is the link to the item for anybody interested http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Samsung-Gala...ll_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item58af32c337&_uhb=1
It came in a box similar to the one shown in the video, it came with an alcohol pad and microfiber for cleaning. the only thing it didnt come with is the premium price tag. It's free shipping no matter if you have prime or not
Got mine for about $7 off eBay 6 weeks ago and so far matches up to any expensive branded protector, and that's why I don't automatically assume more expensive protectors are better just because I hear good reviews from people who have never tried the cheap stuff.
I always get a Nillkin when possible. Best tempered glass I've ever used and they are priced very reasonable.
So the S10 series pre booking has started! Have ordered the S10+ 12GB RAM 1TB (Prism Black Variant). The Samsung is really pushing its tech to the next level. Not sure about the screen protectors and what to get. Now searching for a skin for S10+. Are there any brands providing skins for S10+. Suggest me some brands that offer at reasonable price without compromising on quality.

Got my skins :
Finally my pre-ordered Gadgetshieldz S10+ skins (Ebony Wooden) arrived and its really looking fab after application. Proper fit and application with a lovely skin which looks like real wood.

Does that screen protector works with ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. As far now only a whitestone dome has successfully implemented screen protectors for ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. But it's quite expensive.

It's my understanding, and I'm not 100%, but I thought the tpu protectors should have no impact on the fingerprint sensor.

I've visited their website, looks like their screen protector are working perfectly with Ultra-Sonic scanner and for the skins they're going to start their shipping on March 10th.
Some brands are not worth for money like slickwraps and xtremeskins. Obviously Dbrand is expensive, still exploring other brands about the quality and texture.
In Dbrand the quality is very nice, But I saw in social media there is a green camo skin that's look like a military skin and I found Gadgetshieldz providing green camo skins, the same quality what the Dbrand provides. I've ordered S10+ skin for my S10+. The skin is on the way. Is Dbrand provides any details about shipping?

You're spending at least $1,599 on the phone alone, right? Why skimp out on the cost of the case to protect that expensive item?

Got myself settled with Gadgetshieldz.
Finally got my S10. Obviously it was too slippery like all other Galaxy devices. Had to apply Black Matrix skins from Gadgetshieldz ordered from https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/galaxy-s10-skins-covers-wraps.html to give some grip and protection. But it's looking nicer than I had expected. Take a look at my S10 in Black matrix.

Looks very good...how is the installation process?
Tough or manageable?
I normally buy either from dbrand of XtremeSkins. Both have great quality and fit.
I've also tried Easyskinz' awesome chameleon skins. They're more flimsy than dbrand or XtremeSkins but they are more original than those other two companies who pretty much release the same designs and types of skin. So if you're looking for something different, give them a shot. Otherwise, if you want something more traditional, stick to the other two.
Hey guys I ordered this ESR tempered glass case for the S10+ as I got it for $7 with a coupon code from tom's guide: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MJG2F21/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My issue though is, do you guys think this will be sufficient?
It doesn't seem like it would provide that great of protection, I want a case that's decently rugged but doesn't look it. Maybe this case? https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugge...&qid=1551115672&sr=8-5&keywords=s10+plus+case
What cases are you guys getting??
Otterbox defender plus. I have been an avid Otterbox supporter since I got my first one, which I believe was for my Galaxy S6. I have owned multiple variants, but since I have been known to be a little rough with phones I need their top of the line model to feel safe.
Just ordered the UAG blacked out Monarch, Pathfinder and Otterbox Symmetry cases.
I have bought two for my S10+ at very decent price.

Otterbox Symmetry eh? You must be fairly careful and gentle with your phone.
I have this case on my PIxel 3 that I'm trading in and love it. It's super slim and has a grainy texture similar to the black sandstone from the One Plus phones.
https://www.amazon.com/anccer-Compa...m+Cover+for+Samsung+Galaxy+S10+-+Gravel+Black
I'm gonna start off with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case for everyday use. Ideally, I want a case that's gonna stop me from accidentally palming the Edge screen as that annoyed the hell out of me on the S7 Edge I had for a couple of months. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them!

I don't understand why sams cannot offer their own glass protector.
without it I do not want use my phone.
