Gorila glass is only drop proof, NOT scratch proof.
COME ON
Come on guys! Put our minds together
I can't really help very well, simply because my screen protector came with my phone from hong kong, and it only gets that "orange peel" if you're doing something wrong. i can't even say what brand it is since it came with the phone...
k, thanks. Is zagg good at this phone? How bout' bodyguardz? They promised me that they are working on it......

I've got the anti glare protector and i'm hating it. The coulours of the Display are darker. It has a smooth surface, but the material structure is too coarse, and because of that it is blemishing the super clear display of the 9003.
For me, my next display protector will be a anti-scratch...
Durability
What's the durability of these screen protectors? I have used one since about 8 months. And now it's a pain in the a**. My fingers get kinda stuck due to friction or I don't know what when I try to slide or swype. And you won't believe this! Certain regions around my finger tips have turned into dead zones. Nothing happens if I use them. It only works if I use particular regions of my tips. I am confused. Is the screen protector or is it the screen?
Any site where i can get one?

Greatly reduces screen brightness and color quality..
But eliminates fingerprints, i would personally not use them.
All,
I have ordered and returned at last 5 cases on amazon because all of the pictures were deceiving. so I am going to try this community to please point me towards a tempered glass case (Ii don't care thickness) that does NOT cover the camera. I attached 3 examples of what i am looking for any of the 3 will do as long as they do NOT cover the camera.
Thanks for any help .

Is there any reason in particular you don't want it to cover the camera? I imagine most manufacturers thnk they might as well cover the camera and protect it from scratches aswell. And in my experience the protector doesn't affect the camera visibly.
I have heard that. I just prefer it. When you get your new s5 it has cut outs on the initial scree protector so I am surprised that even Samsung hasn't made one. I may have no choice though
May I ask what tempered glass protection is? If it is just like normal screen protection, then here is the one for you: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00I6CQCKG
I had my S5 few days ago along with this SP. It fits the screen perfectly

Tempered glass is a thicker screen protector. Most of the time it has an oleophobic coating to prevent smudges/fingerprints.
A screen protector is worthless on an S5. This phone has gorilla glass. If you do something to damage the glass, I can pretty much guarantee that protector will fail at the same time the glass does. Save your money.

I would hardly say it's worthless to put on your phone. Can never have enough protection for an expensive device. Gorilla glass is ok, but not indestructible. The tempered glass will absorb the impact and possibly Crack in certain situations, but usually the screen underneath will still be fine... :silly:
I just got this one from Amazon yesterday it does not cover the front camera. Best part is that it's cheap and looks good.

I've recently changed my S5 glass screen protector as I dropped my phone and it cracked. The phone screen itself didn't crack and, from my own experience having a glass screen protector is well worth the money.

I really don't think that covering the camera really that bad, I've got a glass screen protector on my handset and it doesn't take away any quality from my selfies! I think if it's applied incorrectly (has bubbles or dirt on the protector) then it would.
Did you mange to find one that doesn't cover the camera? I would be interested to see the difference if there is any.

FEATURE of Temperedglass:
1. Safety. Once broken, it splits into tiny harmless pieces;
2. Hardness. 4 times harder than ordinary float glass;
3. Special logo and pattern can be printed on the tempered glass;
4. The best screen protector in resisting thermal stress and wind-load;
5. Bear sudden temperature change of 220 centigrade degree.

So incracked the rear glass from a very small drop.. Metal is not bent.. Barely a scratch.
Is the rear glass piece full glass? Or glass over plastic? Is my phone still waterproof?
Assurance says $175 for replace the device... If crack is just esthetics only.. Then I'd just keep it until they have replacement parts.
There's one way to find out for sure
The phone is not waterproof, it is water resistant. If the back glass is cracked, I would expect that the overall integrity is compromised.
I read that back plate is glued,
and there's no way to check whether glue still intact or not.
Well the question reallyis whether the rear piece is fully glass? Or is glass over plastic./metal sheet.. If latter then I'm fine.. If prior.. Then it'll leak under water pressure..
I don't have much on the phone itself.. But id rather not be without a phone until I get replacement.

I'll take my chances but not with a crack seems the internal parts would get wet. Same ip rating as a lifeproof case. "Resistant" or whatever I will take a bath with it. Not because I need to but because i can. Lol
well I"ll be dunking this phone in the water this weekend.. as soon as I get this Note2 backup phone working.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eScXStdz_qM
when looking at this video, there seems to be a black film that's the glass is adhered to. it's GS6 but I don't see why it would be any different.
I'm out $175 eithways if this phone dies underwater anyways, but if I can just hold out longer knowing that that it's still going to be "WATER RESISTANT" then I'll just do a rear glass swap myself and save some $$$ and doing a insurance claim.
and here's another example of the "METAL FILM" under the glass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxHAgPu7XAc
Couldn't wait. Let my son play in the tub with it for about 15min inside the spigen clear case..
Typing on it now..
Did you end up testing it? Was it waterproof after being crack?
Hey guys i fix these phones and the back is just glass but its tempered it has a watedproof adhesive that doesnt let the water go in. I have the same question if it is waterproof or not because the only way to tell if it still is is to submerge it in water it depends on the crack. If you get it changed from a repair shop ur phone wont be waterproof because they dont have the same waterproof adhesive like samsung does
Sadly I dropped mine as well. I could pay $175 for new one through insurance, but I opted paying $80 for a life proof case. I should have got the case in the fist place.
Bump- Can anyone else confirm this?
Mine has been cracked for 2 months now and I haven't gotten it wet really except for wet hands etc.
I feel the same about the factory/OEM adhesive vs aftermarket as there are replacement parts on eBay now.
Any new insight is appreciated

I also broke the front glass .After that i tested it underwater several times .Suprisingly, my s7 edge is still waterproof..So; i can claim that your s7 edge ll be still waterproof until the ruber seal is not broken.
so you're saying that the phone is still waterproof with a rear crack in it???
It all comes down to how big each crack is and where its placed.
repaired device is NOT water-resistant any more

The guy didn't use oem adhesive around the edges of glass and took of the paint which creates a strong bond between the glass and metal frame
Samsung Galaxy S5
For those who still have one, If there is a crack then you should let water come in contact to the phone. I had the bottom of my phone cracked it fell in some water and stopped working the next day. :crying: Don't test the limits on the phone.:good:
I ordered a back on eBay for 6$
Pretty sure it's glass coated in paint ...can't or don't know how to post a pic on here... I have the same problem of cracks .. but I'm opting to fix it my self spent around 25$ for supplies
Hello. I've bought the galaxy s8 plus and the clear view standing cover and my question is the cover waterproof? I mean do I have to worry when I use the phone with the cover on in the rain?

The mobile is water resistant to a given value. The case will NOT add any further resistance, short answer is no.
Ryland
I believe that case is just plastic and NFC (no batteries) So it should be water proof.
The phone is water resistant so a little rain wont hurt it.
All in all you should be good to go for rain and splashes
I know the phone is water resistant and im not asking if the case will add any more resistance. Im just wondering about the case itself because previously i had s7e with the led view cover which wasnt water resistant which sucked because the s7e itself is so if it was raining badly id always take the phone out of the case. But on the clear view standing cover i think there are no wires inside, just nfc, so i wasnt sure if water would do somethng to it. Thanks for your anwsers
After many months of scouring the internet and more money spent than I'd like to admit, I have finally found what I would consider a better screen protector than even the OEM installed one from Samsung. I have tried close to 10 different protectors for my Z-Flip 3 and they all were relatively disappointing when comparing to Samsung's OEM film. They ranged from horrible to acceptable but still not ideal. Most Amazon sellers (even the top rated films) fail where you'd expect it to fail, the hinge, and it seemed all but impossible to achieve the results the phone comes with new. That is, until I got my hands on whitestone's new premium DOME SILK(UTG) film. This guy is actually superior to the OEM film and outclasses it in every way. The feel is fantastic, the clarity is perfect and the most important part is the hinge adhesion, which is every part as good as the OEM one. With the installation jig that is included with the dome film, I got a perfect install on my first try without a single bubble or blemish even across the hinge. So long as you watched the install video which you have to scan a QR code on the box to access, the install is extremely smooth. It's nerve-racking at first but extremely doable. When adhering the hinge area, I highly recommend you go as slow as possible with the squeegee to ensure no bubbles in the area that dips. Anyway I won't make this any longer, I just wanted to let everyone else know that if you want and OEM+ screen protector for your z flip 3 you should absolutely buy the Whitestone dome silk film the first time instead of wasting money on films that bubble up after one or two folds or that feel like hot garbage.
I'll second these products. Recently purchased as the OEM screen protector started to develop cracks at the hinge (lemme tell you how freaked out I was until I realized it was the protector and not the actual screen). Install was easy and the jig is clever and effective, just MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS.
No issues with the product so far and perfect adhesion.

I live in the northeast, 2 hours from Canada so yes, it's been between 5°- 25° consistently. I will say that I am conscious about the cold and generally try not to flip the phone open if I've been outside for a while because of the horror stories I've heard about displays cracking when opening in extreme cold.

Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to get a picture of it installed because my only other phone is a galaxy S9+ with a cracked camera lens. I tried taking a pic with my surface pro 4 but it's so grainy it's impossible to make out. I can tell you that visually, it's identical to the oem. Size and finish are the same, it's when you touch it that you realize how much better it is than the oem. Just picture the stock screen protector but slightly slightly shinier.
So here's an update, yesterday I got a new case, one of the full protection cases that have a hinge shield built in and after using the case yesterday and waking up this morning, I found that the entire portion of the screen protector that conforms to the hinge lifted from the screen. Now, I'm not sure what the culprit was, comma if it was somehow the new case that caused this or if it was just a screen protector itself But I have another backup backup screen protector that I am going to put on after work today work today and use it with my old case to verify if the case caused this problem or not. I personally don't see how it's possible that the case caused it to lift but I can't deny The significance of it lifting within 24 hours of putting a new case on. To me, it looks like the protector almost shrank a little and contracted which caused it to lift in the area with the most pressure which would be the hinge because of the curves but I will verify this and I will update this post with the results.
It's been 4 days since installing the replacement film I had and it's already holding up much better than the first. The first lasted only 48hrs before the whole hinge lifted up. I installed this one a little different. First, when using the squeegee to adhere the film, I used much more pressure and slid it much slower (especially around the hinge area). Next, when it was finished being installed, I opted to not close the display for a full 24hrs to allow the adhesive to set and the film to "lock" to the shape of the display. Call it a curing time if you will. I also used my variable temperature heat gun set to its lowest temperature (350°f) and warmed the film mostly around the hinge while using my thumb to apply pressure back and forth. The purpose of the heat was to mock heat cycling the film and further set it to the display. All of these steps combined resulted in a perfect application again but now 4 days later in the same 15-30°f ambient temp I have no lifting at all and no signs of any adhesion issues. This will be my last post on this topic unless it fails in an unreasonable amount of time as there's nothing else I can do to install it and better and at that point I would deem it a bad product. For now I stand by it being the best aftermarket film for this phone.
I've just bought it and it should arrive on 3rd of march. I was wondering if it comes with a glass already installed and, since I am in love with Tough Armour cover of Spigen, glass screen protectors ( even of the little screen ) would be compatible with spigens cover.

Arrived. Everything is ok but the film on the screen. The feeling is tremendous yet they tell you not to remove it. Wtf?
Is fitting a glass over it a possible solution?
I just tried the Whitestone Premium,,, what a waste of time. Got it on with no bubbles. Let it sit for 5 minutes just to make sure. Went over it again. Still lifted at the crease as soon as I flipped it closed. Reseated 2 more times, immediately lifts as soon as I close it. Anybody got any other protectors that will actually stay on the crease???

Hi,
Did you apply it correctly?
I had the same problem and then i noticed that i accidently applied the screen protectors protector
It is very easy to make that mistake. You have to read the instruction very carefully and really look that you are applying the correct part. I learned it the hard way. Bought a new one and got it applied correctly.
Now, it will not lift off, it's stuck to the screen very firmly for over 4 months now with no problem.

I applied it with the jig, the right way and still got it wrong...
cuz if you get it right, it should stick and stay with no problems.
On the film there is 3 layers of plastic, two have to be removed. the real protector is like sandwiched in between 2 protective films.
Just a heads up.
