actually, don't worry too much. i've used mediadevil on my S2 and it's been great. they're available for the S4 too.
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.

Using a Mime Glass protector and all the things you mention aren't affected at all. Color and contrast: same. Screen: better, while protected :good:

Maybe I've been using the wrong kind of screen protector, but all the ones i've used have a weird feel/touch to them that doesn't feel the same as the screen, so I don't use them
Never had a cracked/scratched screen either. Knock on wood. Maybe it's just luck

I use the iloome screenmate flex. It is really thin and it feels like nothing is on the screen, the touch sensitivity is great. I haven't used any of the other ones but this one gas been great.

You've seen two SGS4's side by side, one with and one without the Mime protector yes? And you really saw a noticable difference?
In that case: highly impressed by your amazing eye-sight :good:
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.
Glass is the only way to go

Spigen glass t. Glass is the best imo
I'm rolling with Spigen Glast Nano Slim.

If glass has suddenly become the "only way to go", where were we these past many years? I'm not paying upwards of $20 for a fancy screen protector when my cheap plastic one works very well. Can someone please come to my house and show me this apparent difference??

$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.

Yup
Considering that I have a 3 year old brat and a big fat slippery hand, yes I would definitely put on a screen guard
Yes I always have one on every device that I own. I prefer tempered glass, so lets hope that someone makes one thats good quality for it.
Nope, haven't used screen protectors in more than two years. They take away the premium feel of the screen. Gonna get me a case though, since I will be carrying it around in bags an such

Anyone tried one of those spray-on screen protectors?
I remember linustechtips did a review on one with impressive results. I think it was called Liquid Armor.

Tried that Crystal spray on on my phone, did not notice any difference. Phone still got scratched .
I won't be using a Screen protector on the Nexus 9, currently have the tab S 8.4 and i use it without a SP. Screen feels so much better without that plastic on top.
I am not one for film screen protectors, but I do like the glass screen protectors
I guess the good thing about a glass protector for the Nexus 9 is that you don't have to worry about the sunken button effect that you'd get on an ipad.
Are there any for sale yet for the Nexus 9 ?

There's several hands-on videos that comment on how much glare the Nexus 9 puts out. You think any of these tempered glass screens could help reduce glare?

No idea..... Most likely will not but you never know...
Also the glass screen protector has been shipped as of this morning
I had the same question too.. The only company that claims to have anti-glare coating and a tempered glass screen protector is BodyGuardz. I talked to them earlier and they had no plans to release a Nexus 9 version, nor they have a UK presence.
Also, I havent seen many out yet (which makes sense) but there are a few on amazon. I was wondering if you came across any 'good brand' tempered glass screen protectors I can order now and hopefully will also help in reducing glare.
Curious of people's thoughts given the inclusion of gorilla glass 4 which is supposed to be pretty good. If you are going to use one, standard or going to thicken it up with tempered glass?
I don't put them on with phones using a curved display, in this case 2.5d or whatever they're calling it. I don't like when the tempered glass doesn't cover the entire screen. I'll just be using one of the clear spigen cases
Already ordered a $4 tempered glass protector on Amazon and should have it here by Tuesday.
I prefer glass since it feels better than the plastic protectors but thats just my opinion. It's either you protect with a case and some form of screen protector, or you don't at all.
I haven't tried a screen protector since my droid incredible and even took that one off. I get phone about every 6 months and have never used them. No scratches visible to naked eye on any. Doesn't mean they're not needed at all, just not for my uses or wifes
Nope. Never had, never will. No screen protector, no case. I'm just careful with my stuff.

youre just like my dad, i don't know how he has kept his iphone 5 and currently 6, in perfect condition w/o any protector or case
I've got an S3 in perfect condition without a screen protector. I won't be getting one for the S6 either but I WILL be purchasing a warranty plan from Samsung.. just in case.
i never installed one on my S3 and sold it after having it for a year without a single scratch,. i have an S4 now for the past 2 years, no protector and screen is still flawless as if it came out of the box.. so my S6 won't have one either.
My Nexus 5 shattered pretty easily, so I'll be using a tempered glass screen protector
I'll be ordering this.
Had my current device (at least the one I've kept) with nothing but the paltry Gorilla Glass 2 on it for over two years now. Screen remains in immaculate condition.
No screen protector for me.

There are two versions of it. The dry one is the one in the link and it doesnt cover edges of the S6 edge. There is a wet application version which covers the edges.

K, thanx for the heads-up.
Yes. It wouldn't hurt to have a screen protector on your phone. It's added protection. Here's what I've found on Amazon. It's currently on sale for $1.95, pretty cheap yet high quality screen protectors. Check this out.

i work construction, phone is in my pocket all day. i use my legs to help pick things up and push so im real interested in this temp. glass
never bother with a screen protector with any of my phones with gorilla glass. Even though gorilla glass still scratches none were noticeable with the screen on. The feel and clarity of a naked screen is so much better than any screen protector including temp glass ones. I would only consider a temper glass screen protector if im not using a case but i rather have a bulk of a case than having to use a screen protector.
Yes, Spigen as always!

^^what he said^^
I literally never ever drop my phones and can usually keep my phones scratch/ding free, even on the screen.
at most i'll buy a phantom skin/invisihield to use on the back of the phone when i lay it on a surface, but the screen always stays uncovered.
I ordered a screen protector yesterday for $1.99. It'll be more than sufficient until some of the glass ones are refined and are perfect.

Hey everyone
I have just bought a Samsung Note 9 and awaiting it to be delivered to me.
I always use tempered glass screen protectors but I am worried about using the S-pen with the protectors.
Does anyone know if you can use a tempered glass screen protector with the S-pen effectively.

I have the white stone dome protector and it works flawlessly with the S pen You don't even need to turn up the screen sensitivity
I wondered about liquid screen protection and I am watching one on EBay but I was wondering if normal versions work as well....i don't want to fork out all that extra if normal tempered glass works just as good as well.
I purchased the MP-MALL tempered protector and have not issues with the S-PEN. Looks good and hopefully will protect well. It is on amazon for about $12
Go with WhiteStone Dome they are tried and true. The best tempered glass I have ever used and it worked with the S-Pen and alot of cases I have tried.
Zagg one seems to work fine, imo it registers the pen better than finger keyboard stroke.
I bought a few different brands on Amazon. They all showed up in the same brown box with different labels printed out, they are fairly sharp at the top and bottoms. T-mobile has a glass cover that os actually tapered and smooth. They all work amazingly well with the pen. Although sensitivity does need to be turned up for finger use. I downloaded a multi Touch test app to confirm

The only down side is that they are over priced and they do crack easily as reported by many.
The Mocolo is half the money and is made with 9H hardness which the White Stone isn’t. The Moloco is as good or better as the whitestone, as responsive and as easy to apply.

I'm not worried about a $40 screen protector when I just paid $1,300 for the phone. I've had the screen protector on multiple phones now and I have not cracked or had any issues with any of them. Unless you're a complete klutz and you drop your phone multiple times a day you won't have any cracking issues.
i bought glass protector from aliexpress similar to whitestone dome but a lot cheaper one piece cost around 5$ only
'
first one was not perfect good thing i bought 2 extra
second piece i installed it and it fit perfectly on the screen only thing i installed a bit lower than it should be
so it almost touch the case from the lower side but there is a big gap on the upper side
i got a bubble on the lower side from testing several case because as i said it installed lower than it should be.
the spen and finger worked perfectly with it and alot better than the regular glass with matrix dots the stick from the sides only and i did not turn on screen sensitivity on both protectors
I had the ghetto whitestone setup on my Note 8 (LOCA glued a regular tempered glass screen) and now the whitestone on my Note 9. No issues at all and no changing of screen sensitivity.

I await your future posts about glue making a mess and bubbled lifting corners. Just get a wet applied plastic film , not perfect but definitely less hassle and no issues with sensitivity, I don't even have that extra sensitivity option turned on my device.

This is my experience, as well.
They should work perfectly fine as S-Pen functions using electro-magnetism. Via the electro-magnetic Wacoom digitizer underneath the display.

Hey everyone... Thought I would update you on on my Note 9 and screen protector issue... in the end I went with the Liquid screen Protector but I didn't get WhiteStone Glass.... I used a cheaper alternative and it works really well.... Also looks really vivid.
The Ebag seller who I got it from is called Itocorp but they seems to be out of stock at the moment.
Has anyone found any good tempered glass? UK owner here.
I have the Spigen - Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus Screen Protector GLAS.tR EZ Fit (2-pack). The fingerprint reader takes a major hit with glas protector vs with naked. But it works alright if you don't have super dry fingerstips. I do have Samsung's own plastic screenprotectors waiting on the side. I hear they work well with the fingerprint reader.
I have the glas paired up with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus 5G - Black. It's a great combo.
So it's better to just stick with the TPU protectors to avoid problems with the fingerprint scanner?
You need to delete your finger prints and reregister after installing a glass screen protector otherwise it won't work very well

That's true, but still the fingerprint won't work nearly as good as without a screen protector glas. Fingertip must be a little bit moist for it to work well. If it's dry, it won't work at all. I'm tempted to remove this and test out the Samsung's own plastic screen protector.
Don't forget....

That is the way with the ultrasonic sensors, they don't like glass protectors. On the other hand, they are faster and better (most of the cases) with plastic protectors or without protection. On the other, other hand...they suck with dry fingers. My wife can't use the reader on s22 at all and for me it is lightning fast.

Oh noes, I'm coming from a 7T without a screen protector and I use my fingerprint sensor probably 100+ times a day lol. I ordered a Spigen tempered glass screen protector. I hope I can get my fingerprint to recognize relatively accurately..
My phone should be here tomorrow but the screen protector won't be here till the following day. Not gonna run my new galaxy naked, my 7t has a couple micro scratches that bug me.
had no issues with the fingerprint on mine, although ive not got a protector on yet. I might not bother as i really like this phone without one.
I don't pay more than £10 for TG but since Samsung struggles with it, I may get the Spigen one

I'm using the AmFilm tempered glass myself. Works really well. Initially, it was a bit spotty after I put it on, but then I just deleted and readded my fingerprints and it works super fast. I also really liked the applicator kit that came with this. It has a HUGE dust remove sticker that covers the whole screen, so my application is crystal clear.

The only time it hiccups is when my fingers are either really wet or really dry - and TBH, that's no different than how the scanner worked before the screen protector was applied.
I don't know if they have Best Buy in the UK, but I picked up their brand of tempered glass. It was 2 for $15 USD. Other than a tiny bubble on the left side you can only see when the screen is all white, I'm really happy with it. It also seems to be staying pretty clean. My fingers don't smudge it up too badly. I almost paid $40 for the Zagg but decided to give the Best Buy brand a shot. So far so good.
I use the spigen ones as well and have for multiple devices over the years. I like their camera lens protectors also. Amazon prices are much cheaper than their website prices.
