Tempered Glass screen protectors at a great price!

I just wanted to alert anyone who might be considering purchasing a tempered glass protector for their S5 about the one that I just put on my phone.
It is iCarez brand and is sold on Amazon for only $8.95 (currently).
Here is the Amazon USA site link:
http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Ant...acement/dp/tech-data/B00IM7DZEG/ref=de_a_smtd
I just put it on today and can say that the packaging was very premium and that it went on and fits perfectly. It is much less expensive than a lot of other options out there and I couldn't imagine any other's working any better. They also have lifetime warranty replacements too.
It is fitting nicely with my Spigen Tough Armor case.

I purchased this same one. I was VERY impressed with the packaging, they even give you the rubber bands to hold it on for proper positioning. love the feel of it. (smoother than the actual screen) for the price, there's no way to beat this, they could easily get away with charging 30 bucks for this one.

How does the screen look? any change in quality or almost invisible?

also is the front camera covered? I bought one of those which didn't have cut out for front camera as a result I wasn't able to take selfies with decent quality (although samsung front camera itself is not so good)...

I'm totally happy with my cybertech one. I haven't even thought about it since I put it on.
Sensor, speaker, and cam are cut out.

$8 well spent

Just got mine today. For some reason, mine didn't come with the rubber bands or the placement stickers. The instructions just say to clean the screen, peel off the backing and put it on. It really was simple and easy. What I really like is my S5 is no longer a fingerprint magnet.

Thanks, iomega311. I will have to give the iCarly brand a try. Looks really good.

It seems this one comes with a camera lens protector as well. I wonder if it is also tempered glass?

lol... No, what I meant was that before I put on the screen protector, the screen was very dirty with fingerprint smudges. I don't know why, but I never had that problem with my GS3. I haven't researched it, but I wonder if the GS5 is using a different screen.

Phew ok. I just ordered it last night and hopefully this will last longer then the other tempered glass on another forum that it was popular to get.
Zero S5

Sweet! I got my package! So what should I say?? Hmmm well they have the wet wipes like all packages have. The hanger is also a squeegee but really unnecessary. They also provided the microfiber cloth, some dust removal stickers. When I put on the glass it was easier then that anker glass protector idk why though lol. The clarity is still best. The applications is quick and easy. Nothing sticks out. And here is the best part... Wait for it..... You can still use your fingerprint scanner. Lol

Screen protector?

Has anyone purchased a tempered glass screen protector for this phone that they like?
Most of the ones I have looked at on amazon have complaints that they interfere with the fingerprint scanner or they have great reviews but aren't even available for another month. LOL.

I m using trink(unbreakable ) bought from shop

I've always gone for a matte protector in the past but there were none on the market and I found myself enjoying the clarity of an unadulterated screen. So I decided to go for tempered glass and bought these
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B073T91BR7
Got two in a pack. Wasn't happy with the application of the first one I put on, so pulled it off and used the second one which I am 99% happy with. Small bubble on one extreme edge which really isn't a problem other than it triggers my OCD. In terms of the protector itself, it's a nice feel tempered glass affair and feels no different to the glass of the original screen. My one criticism is that it is slightly smaller than I think it needs to be. It covers the screen area - just. The cut outs at the top are odd (unless there's a sensor next to the front camera that I don't know about. Personally think they'd have been better off not bothering with the top cutouts and just making it a straight line underneath the earpiece. The cutout for the fingerprint sensor fits well. It actually adds height to the well in which the sensor fits, so it kind of guides your finger to the right location. I use the swipe navigation so I suppose time will tell whether it gets in the way on that front.
A 7 out of 10 for me.

I just installed iVoler on my wife's phone.
(https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B074MPC2G2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_vCJqUdNtCwZGC).
The top cutouts are weird... I messed up my first tgsp trying to align the flash cutout. Gratefully it was a 2-pack.
Managed to install it without any bubble and almost centered. She doesn't do selfies, so the front-facing flash is not important, and it still works well, it's just inelegant imo (cf. pictures)
Other than that it's a fingerprint magnet, it does not adhere well on the sides and on the top left corner, but it does the job ok for now.
I'll see if someone finds a better one and probably change it.
I don't recommend it

Replying to myself here, but downgrading to a 2 out of 10. A few days in and I have a ding in the protector slap bang in the middle of the screen. Someone less OCD than I would probably put up with it but I don't think I can. My eyes keep getting drawn to it.

I have not tried any tempered glass protectors, but I did install these on both my and my wife's phone. It's pretty good, especially the clarity, it's somewhat okay in resisting fingerprints, but when the screen is on, it's hard to notice any fingerprint smudges. If you can't find a tempered glass protector you like, these will do nicely.
[8-Pack] Moto G5S Plus Screen Protector on Amazon

What you think about this, quality?
by dipos - Motorola Moto G5s Plus Screen Protector - 2x dipos Flexible Glass 9H Display Protection?

They're awful, tempered glasses don't go over to the edges because the screen is slightly curved, plus they get super sweaty, reflective and gross in general. Took off mine, won't recommend.

Wow, that one looks like it wasn't even made for your phone, the size is too small and the cutout is wrong - surely any model sold specifically for "G5S Plus" should be a better fit?

I bought the same one linked in the 3rd post, but I have NOT put it on yet. The biggest complaint people have with it is "does not go to the edge" . It is not supposed to!
I have the Spigen case with carbon fiber texture inserts. It wraps around the top edges of the g5s+. So a full front protector would either not let the case fit properly AND / OR would push up the edges of the screen protector.

Do Tempered glass screens work with the S-pen

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.

Tempered glass screen protector for galaxy S10

Are you gong to buy a Tempered glass screen protector for your S10? First screen protector that comes into mind is the Whitestone Dome but this one is going to be very expansive. What screen protector are you going to use?

If you really want a great protector that's the one I would buy...I think you get two in package... I'm planning on not installing one of the phone comes with pre installed one ...if. I do get one it will be White Dome

My tip is to hold off on getting tempered glass protector first because of how it might affect the ultra sonic fp sensor

Lol, the pre-installed screen protectors that you are talking about is a joke. These cheap ones get scratched up in no time. Tempered Glasses don't work with the Ultrasonic Fingerprint scanner on the S10 phones. The ones that work (white stone) are not available until 3/22 and don't ship outside US.
I got this Gadgetshieldz one as these kind of self healing TPU screen protectors are the ones that are compatible with the S10 series phones currently. Like the Zagg invisible shield. MKBHD even did a test on these. And for the 10$, I am getting a screen protector, a protector for the back, sides and camera lens. Might change these once something reasonable is available.

Whitestone has been proven to work with the security on the phone. Pricey. 50 bucks but you get 2 glass shields in case you do break one

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.

hey guys came across this,
cheap alternative to whitestone.
I think its only for aus. not sure.

Whitestone dome glass protector disables my finger print sensor effectively. My hit rates are less than 50% on the scanner. I've tried everything to get this to work such as re-registering prints, enable touch sensitivity, updating software. My install was perfect since I've had experience with this product before. I really wanted this to work, further their customer support is impossible to get ahold of.

I have 1 Whitestone TGSP but I'm not installing it until I get the two pack. I have never installed this before so I want the extra ones to use in case I goof the first install, and then (hopefully) have a spare if I crack the 2nd one.

Actually it doesn't! Numurous vids on ytube show it. If your concerened, de register your fingerprint, install Whitestone and them re-register your prints. If you follow some of the comments here. People are using it., when you get into the system. delete the current prints and redo them
Edit: on a side note. I actually redid my fingerprints today because now I am getting familiar with the phone and how im holding it. Once I did that, now it unlocks wayyy better. I havent installed whitestone yet. price changed and 80 bucks for 2 Yikes! You said 50% of the time you can gt in the phone. when you do, delete the current ones and turn off the finger print sensor, turn the phone off and then back on and re-register

Those are YouTube videos that show it works on a single unlock. I'm not disputing that it never works, it just doesn't work adequately enough. A youtuber showing a single unlock does not mean it works. When compared to a physical sensor on prior galaxy devices the success rate is likely almost 100%. The whitedome stone glass makes it incredibly harder to get an unlock on the s10 (less than 50% success for me). See the amazon reviews, there are numerous reviews claiming issues with this glass protector. Further you can find additional evidence of the issues on subreddit for galaxys10.
I understand that some may not be installing this correctly, but I know i have since I've done this numerous times. As stated above, i've re-registered finger prints, updated software and enabled touch sensitivity. I don't think this is a dud either since there are numerous reports of it not working properly.

Believe me when I say that I really wanted this to work because I love glass protectors. But it just simply didn't after everything I've tried.
Not sure I understand the light sensitivity you are referring to but this is an ultra sonic finger print reader which basically uses sound waves that bounce off your finger to map your prints. I think the issue is that these sound waves are having issues propagating through the glass protectors/loca glue, although they seem to have no issue going through the gorilla glass.

Question Tempered glass

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....

Any got the Whitestone dome tempered glass one? They are usually pretty good when I've had them on pixels. £55 is expensive though

Surprised that fp still sucks on the galaxy series. Op 7T I'm now, fp works 100% of the time with and tempered glass.

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.
