Use a thick case and a good tempered. Try to look for the tempered in local shops.
A guy here by mistakenly got his screen broken. It DID have a tempered, but the tempered and the screen, both broke.
The most accurate reason for this must be the SHOCK due to FALL.
Thus a strong and heavy duty cover becomes imminent!
I quite like the Nillkin range of products and have been using their gel cases for a while now - awesome quality, kept my phones safe when they have fallen and has extra grip on the side.
So naturally I went to take a look what htye have for the GT Neo 2, although no clear case unfortunately. As you said, the phone looks cool so a clear case would be great to show off the look!
I have found some clear TPU / soft gel cases online but they look like very plain, simple cases without any extra protection or grip.

nillikin ones are, in my eyes badly overpriced. spigen and ringke are far better, but then they dont make for realme sadly...
If importing the Nillkin cases, the price is not too bad as it is cheaper than buying a case locally in South Africa.
I will keep Spigen and Ringke in mind for next time. Will need to wait and see what becomes available for the GT Neo 2.
A big frustration of mine is that a lot of screen protectors no longer fully cover the screens on most phones - is it just me or have others noticed this as well?

Then you can try a liquid screen protector from Gadgetshieldz where they provide good quality protectors because it covers all over the edge of the phone's display. This protector gives good protection against scratches and cracks and also, it has a self-healing feature that heals most of the scratches on the protector. This interested me to buy it!

you can do yes, but back is glass, so best to get a durable case. cuz if it falls, back and front, both being glass can break easily.
buy one which is shockproof to some extent.

I dont think any such stuff exists lol
I have heard the self healing does work, however not all that well on larger scratches.
Those hydrogel type of screen protectors apparently do not offer as great impact resistance as a tempered glass screen protector.
Overall, I heard that the tempered glass screen protectors are better when it comes to protecting the screen on your phone. The hydrogel ones are cheaper though and can work well at protecting your screen from scratches and will heal the small scratches.

Self-healing does work on my screen guard but it doesn't heal the scratches 100%, it just makes the scratches less visible after a day or two.

I'm considering buying something that can best protect my S4 display. What can you advise me against accidental falls or blows to the display?
What's best choice?
Cover?

Bumper?

Personally-and others may disagree- I have glass screen protector from mime. Price is steep, but with 50% off, no hassle warranty from mime, it was worth it. Mind you, I got three replacements because I dropped my phone on concrete, then accidently dropped ipad on my phone. Both cases resulted in glass protector shattering, but the screen itself is completely fine.
On top of that, I use otterbox commuter when I go mt climbing, or camping.

Mmm ok...MIME at the moment cost 24$
Is the MIME case friendly? I have the spigen case so a screen protector needs to have minimal coverage to make room for the case lip.

If you have a spigen case, buy a spigen tempered glass protector. They all are all comparable with each other as long as they are spigen brand. Personally I had a mime feather lite tempered glass protector and it worked great. They're quite thin, but thin enough to where it will crack if flexed too much during installation. I recommend a spigen glassTr protector. They're ultra durable and don't diminish the capability of the screen at all. Well worth the price.
As far as cases go, I'm using a spigen neo hybrid. I've dropped my phone from about six feet up a few times now, and the case has protected the phone perfectly. Its also fairly thin so it doesn't add a very much bulk at all. As far heavy protection goes, otter box ultimately has superior protection.

I have been using the spigen crystal series screen protectors ( $8 for 3) and the neo hybrid case. Seems to protect pretty well.

With mime, there is small space around the edges, for cases with curling lips.
I have spigen neo hybrid, and ultra thin case. Additionally, otterbox commuter and samsung official case (not sview nor flip cover). And I can say all the cases fit without a problem.
Otterbox or something similar. If you can get a discount even better, but the price is worth the protection these type of cases provide.

Just make sure you buy it from them directly (their Amazon or Ebay outlet).
Buy from *ANYWHERE ELSE* and they do not support you. Even if it can be verified that the product is authentic.
This is egregious and I will never buy their product again.

This is why I didn't feel bad buying a knockoff slimarmor s-view. At least I know I'm not getting no customer service and the price reflects that. Spigen gets the benefit of claiming awesome customer service, but only for a select group who buy through 2 options when multiple others are available. It's like samsung voiding your warranty because you bought your phone from AT&T and not verizon or sprint.

Mime doesn't sell any cases.
This SPIGEN SGP Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector GLAS.t NANO SLIM protected my screen like a champ when it fell, screen first, from aprox. 5 feet.
I like the MIME better and is what i have. I also have the Neo Hybrid and the slim armor cases from Spigen, I like the MIME Ghost glass best for 2 reasons.
first, The hardness rating is a 9H and the Spigen is an 8H rating so MIME is harder to scratch technically.
Second, The MIME is a .32mm thickness compared to Spigen's .40mm. I like this because with the very thin case edges the MIME still is recessed so if/when you put the phone face down it isn't resting on the glass protector.
1 more thing. MIME (others likely do too) has a thin layer of coating to resist finger prints. Solvents like windex and such will break that down. Use something for cleaning LCD and you will be better off. My first MIME Ghost Glass i used windex all the time and my finger prints were getting bad on it (way easier) and my 2nd one i only use the actual screen cleaner stuff and after 3 or 4 months it's still hard to get it all mucked up with prints.
does anybody have any experience with the Spigen Slim Armor View? i wanna get one of these along with a nano screen protector from Spigen as well, but i want to know what is my best choice between the Spigen cases

Unrelated to the thread topic, but I have one in white and love it. I would suggest going through the slim view armor thread and finding a reputable knockoff dealer and getting it from there. Spigen will not replace it most times when it fails, even if you order it through an 'official' store and the hinges on the official case sometimes break.
I paid $15 for my knockoff and after 6 months of use on a construction site its still like new aside from the scratches. A glass screen protector does make it harder to press the home button to light up the s-view display, but that's a function of the screen protector thickness, not the case. With an aluminum home button sticker it goes back to a very light press.
I also run it with an official spigen glass.tr protector (Picked it up for $20, otherwise I wouldn't buy it).
Oh I complained about Spigen, but did not indicate what I use.
I use a glass screen protector. Glass all the way.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171172132327?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
They show up fast and only cost $9 or so. They are a little thicker than the Spigen Nano but for me it doesn't matter.
It definitely doesn't matter at $9.
Spigen tempered glass screen protector all the way.
Serious they are really just the best. Not only in terms of protection, it's also super slim and ultra clear.
anti reflexion screen protector, best!
as per the title, which is the preferred screen protector for this device. thinking of getting one soon (an S4 that is)

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.

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.

$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.
I just ordered my new Moto X 2014, I'm actually getting it for free to replace my old Moto X.
What are some good case and screen protector combinations? I know in the past I've had some trouble with a case AND a screen protector, it's sometimes one or the other. I'd prefer a clear case, but I'll probably end up getting more than 1 anyways.

Just got mine as well here is what I have found so far:
All tempered glass is a waste of money for this model none if it fits right at all due to the rounded edges
I would ASSUME the older plastic style ones MIGHT work better but read they also dont work that well
Most cases that say they are clear are actually frosted and that for me defeats the purpose of customizing the back
So I am going naked screen and hula case and will carry the phone in a belt pouch. Not the perfect solution but for me its acceptable. I would have preferred a strong clear tpu case (most turn yellow), I dont want a hard case, and would have love tempered glass on this but they simply dont adhere correctly.
There you have it the sad but true facts about cases and screen protectors from the research I have done. Hopefully some others in here can give you better news

I love the look, not sure it would truly give a huge amount of protection but should protect the edges of the glass on the screen which i read is the most vulnerable part of the phone. It does have a little but of movement when you hold the phone (aka wiggles slightly) but it also adds more grip, i have a plastic backed phone.. Those damn beveled edges, nice concept, nightmare in reality. They are why no glass or other screen protector will truly fit right.

When holding or using the phone its fine. I am also extremely OCD and when it moves/wiggles is like when you just tap the side with your finger you can feel it move very slightly, very slight;y but for me noticeable, but not enough to get rid of the case just makes the phone look awesome.

I really like the way that looks. My phone is Royal Blue, White Front, and Red Trim. So it's between a white or red hula case, or the gelli case. I'm leaning towards the Hula for more everyday use I think, and buying another case from amazon for when i need more protection. Or buying the hula and getting a good protecting case from moto's website
I have a coupon code from Moto for $25 off, so Im buying the screen protector and I basically get any case for free.

I've been using the Hula bumper and Power Support Brilliant Film screen protector. The edge of the case doesn't contact the screen protector so it doesn't peel.

I have the Hulu and the Trident Aegis. The plastic on the Hulu cracked at the USB port area (from bending when removed or put on), but it doesn't effect the case

Thanks! I heard one other person had a problem with cracking. Very good to know beforehand, I'll make sure to be a bit more careful.

When holding or using the phone its fine. I am also extremely OCD and when it moves/wiggles is like when you just tap the side with your finger you can feel it move very slightly, very slight;y but for me noticeable, but not enough to get rid of the case just makes the phone look awesome.

Weird question, but do you think there's enough give with the Hula case where it would fit around the Moto X in a thin TPU case? I like the TPU cases but worry about the protection or lack thereof. Just wondering if it'd be possible to use them and occasional put the Hula Case around them for extra protection. Of course the buttons probably wouldn't work then...

You wont be able to use the two together, to much of a lip on the back with the hula case. Even if you did somehow fit it on the tpu would never touch the back of the phone just the lip around the edge. TPU will likely give more protection then hula but hula will likely give more grip then a tpu case.
New to the X, is it worth while getting a screen protector? Case is on its way, but with Gorilla Glass 3, is it truly worth the extra to cover the screen? Probably will end up with one but wanted some other opinions!

That is completely up to you but I can tell you this based on my research and personal experience:
There is not a tempered glass screen protector on the market for the 2014 that adheres properly. Not one of them works well and thus dont bother with those. The 2014 tapered edges on the glass are the issue. I have HEARD of similar issues with PET style screen protectors but never messed with those as they never felt right to me.
Lastly everything I have read says those tapered edges o the glas DO make it more prone to crack or brake on a drop so you need SOMETHING to protect the glass edges. Full case, hula bumper, something....

A lot of the cracking that people report is from dropping their phones, not taking the Hula on and off. The Hula is designed to absorb the shock of a drop and it breaks so that the phone does not. Better that your $20 bumper break than your $600 phone.
I take my Hula off and on all of the time and it has never cracked. I think people are dropping their phones and the Hula is doing exactly what it is supposed to do - absorbing the shock, which can result in it cracking instead of your phone.
At this point, I've tried three different glass screen protectors for the G5. I've tried a Pleson screen protector, an iCarez, and a SuperShieldz. All three of them didn't adhere and I had to through them away.
Am I the only one with this problem? I mean, there has to be a way to protect the screen, but I'm just getting so frustrated. If you have the same problem, or if you found a solution, please let me know...
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the rant. I'm just getting annoyed with what should be a straightforward process.
I had the same issue with the Tech Armor (http://www.amazon.com/Tech-Armor-Ba...-1&keywords=lg+g5+screen+protector+tech+armor).
Ended up with an amfilm film protector. It actually sticks to the screen and works pretty well. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-amF...507712&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+g5+screen+protector
Still using it after about 2 weeks, and no problems have come up. Hope that helps
Same here! Ordered four different ones and got fed up. Now i am using IQ shield matte film and a million times better

GPEL has a model on pre-order right now for $25 ($30 msrp I guess). It appears to be made expressly contoured to fit the G5 properly, was a video on Reddit in the G5 sub showcasing it. Might be something. This is a gorilla glass phone like all the rest of them though so you'd have to really work at it to scratch it, screen protectors are not necessary.
I would hate to go back to film protectors because i've been using them for years, but I'm seeing a ton of negative thoughts about the glass versions for this phone. Might be a good idea to sacrifice the quality so the screen can be protected.
I just went to the Spigen films and it works well, smooth with no issues with installation

I don't mind using films, but I can't find any! All I find are the tempered glass protectors (square for 1$ and curved for ~10$).
I'm looking for the film ones.. the G5 came with one out of the box (Austria) but I need more..

Oh... never mind. Found one that actually covers the whole glass!!

Going to order 5 of them.
Not the only one, my PET screen protectors don't seem to stay adhered for more than a week. Kinda annoying. Checking Amazon reviews, there seems to be a lot of these issues.
If you like matte protectors like I do, this one has been great. I had to replace it when the spigen case (the one with the chin piece for easy battery removal) I was using peeled it back, but both installs have been flawless. I now use the thin fit spigen with 0 issues.

So "Thin Fit Spigen matte protector" will fit with the Spigen Style Armor?

How did you get the amfilm to ship to your country? I'm in the UK, and I can't seem to have it shipped to me.

Very easy to install,you would never know it's on,it matches the phone perfectly. No bubbles what so ever,it does not mess with the quality of screen images or color. It fits over the curved edges nicely.It has a little bit of a lip towards the bottom,by the LG logo,but not a big deal. I'd highly recommend this to anyone wanting a tempered glass screen. G-Color did a very nice job with this. It also sticks to the edges,ive had no issues.

G5 screen protector
Just got a new G5 and been lurking around for a better screen protector and read all reviews but i'm hesitant to get any of it but I might try this.
.http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-device/lg/extreme-impact-screen-protector.html
For the minute, the one that was on the phone is doing fine for me, when it needs swapping, I'll try and get a Zagg one as theyre pretty good.
What is the best screen protector for s22 ultra?
A good case with slightly raised guards on all sides like the Zizo Bolt or the display will likely get broke.
Easy to apply hygrocell screens like the Gorilla IQ Sheild work well, are inexpensive and last 6+months.
Also, be careful using the glass protectors (non hydrogel), because they can interfere with the fingerprint reader. I had a bad experience with this, and now I'm using only hydrogel that works fine.
Hidrogel protectors are a very good option, they are cheap, no need to buy from expensive brands, because they are very cheap, you can buy several, and replace them as often as you desire, they are really easy to aply, and no bubbles after some hours after the colocation in case some remain at the moment of placement, I bought 6 of them for 3 dollars in aliexpress

Do you all have a recommended screen protector from amazon that I can buy?
some time ago, I used armor suit protectors, they are made in England, but are of the "wet" aplication method , those protectors are slightly thicker, and have an "orange skin" like appearance whe the screen is off, are self healing to some degree, I think they were 8-10 dollars for front and back set
I'm not searching for something thick, I'm searching for something strong.
I can't find hydrogel with good reviews on amazon, there are some on aliexpress.
Can someone send me a link to a good sp?
Just get this one and thank me later EGV Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
I think you can get this on aliexpress. Hydrogel film that protects front sides and back. it's what I'm using for myself and my wife.
