Tab S 10.5 screen protector best options

Lucky for me I paid the extra for insurance when my bought my Tab S 10.5 because my GF tossed it from the bed to my computer chair with its Samsung book cover on and the magnet flap opened and it hit face down shattering the screen.
I am wondering what the difference in protection screen protectors offer. Tempered glass seems cool, but does it have any downside? Thanks for any advice.

Tampered glass screen protectors are the best as compared to plastic ones. But they won't protect the screen from shattering. They don't have any downside. Look for glass screen protectors that have oleophobic coathing, that significantly reduces the fingerprints, smudges.

highly recommend this one.. I have it for my tab 8.4 and a cracked appeared on my. Skinomi is sending me a replacement free of charge. I also had glass protector on my phone and it helped from shattering. only the glass protector broke. But I guess it all depends on the impact.

ZAGG InvisibleShield Tempered Glass & HDX protector

Just got an email they're available for pre-order. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXP5EZS/
they also have the HDX for those who don't care for the tempered glass

the tempered glass is fortified tempered and said to be shatter proof with lifetime replacement. not sure if this is a promotion, but looks like they're including a free windshield mount too. i don't have a mount so looks like it will come in handy

FINALLY I was waiting for this, thanks!!

Not bad at all with that windshield mount added in.
Isn't GG4 nearly impossible to shatter regardless? What is the absolute need for tempered glass protectors for the S6?

GG4 is not impossible to shatter or scratch. I've seen Note 4's get shattered and scratched. I mainly use tempered glass screen protectors to keep my phone in mint condition so the resale value doesn't decrease by getting scratched.

Will the S6 have the same "Halo" problem as the Note 4?

What's the difference between a screen protector and a tempered glass one?

What the heck is the difference between THIS (a regular HD Screen Protector) and THIS (a tempered glass screen protector)

Reg screen protectors are just thin pieces of film that don't do much protecting against drops, but will prevent minor scratches. Temp glass usually has a hardness of h9 and will save your screen if it takes a bad spill, I know of this first hand. Hopefully the temp glass will cracked leaving your phones screen intact. Temp glass is just better protection all around AND it will prevent your screen from becoming part of the recycling trash on friday. Temp glass has saved me twice, one with a note 4 and once with an LG g3. I would never go back to buying those thin film protectors that do nothing

I don't have first-hand experience with tempered glass protectors, but I do think standard screen protectors offer more protection than twoeleven99 indicated. I used a Skinomi front and back protector on my Nexus 4 (also a glass sandwich), and it adds a nice barrier to the glass. It also has some give, so it absorbs some of the impacts that would otherwise shatter glass.
Another thing I liked is that it adds slightly more grip than glass, preventing drops and slips. It would also be way more practical for the S6 edge, since the wet-apply ones can handle curved screens no problem.
That said, I'm going to give a tempered glass one a shot this time to see if it is more clear (eg: less rainbowing or orange peel effect).

As mentioned already, a tempered glass screen protector will do a better job protecting your phone's screen from damage. They may cost more initially, but they'll last a while. You typically have to change out plastic screen protectors more frequently after light scratches have built up.

I've been using tempered glass screen protectors for the last 2 years. They add thickness, but they're honestly amazing. One thing that I've never really confirmed, but I keep hearing rumors that when dropping a device with a tempered glass screen protector, the energy disperses onto the protector, therefore shattering the protector rather than the phone's screen itself. I never really had a massive drop before to test this out (nor do I have the funds to break my phones), but I have dropped my G2 before, and the corner of the protector cracked while the screen itself was completely fine.
I also like how glass feels compared to PET screen protectors.

I've had the tempered glass completely shatter from one end to the other on 2 devices. Peeled it off and the screen under never had a scratch on it

Screen protector

Hey guys, I'm new on this forum and I would like to ask for help regarding a screen protector. My phone came with a pre-installed screen film protector and I replace it with a glass protector that I bought on ali, but the glass wont fit on the edges on the phone. I read the feedback from other users and they have the same problem. I want to ask if any of you has bought a glass protector for the p9 lite 2017 that actually works or even a regular screen protector it would be nice, because I can't use it with the edges not glued, it looks bad and after the first day of using it, the glass is cracked on one edge.
Thanks for your help!

There is no way to fix this because the screen is curved on the sides, and they can't make curved glass screen protectors, the only way to avoid this is to use a plastic screen protector

screen protector for 2.5d curved screen without gorilla glass

Hi, I just bought a new smartphone, meizu 16th which has a 2.5d (slightly curved) screen.
Apparently, the screen hasn't got any kind of protective layer in it like gorilla glass, and since it's not a popular phone, it's impossible to find tempered glass screen protector from a good company with user's opinions online. Cheap screen protector's on aliexpress has mostly bad reviews: bubbles, not sticking, doesn't cover the whole screen.
I feel like my choice is a cheap aliexpress screen protector with an unknown quality that doesn't cover the whole screen + an envelope case, but since the phone has no gorilla glass, I'm afraid it won't be enough to protect the screen from breaking.
is there some other best protective solution?
