Hello,
So I have had been using Jettech tempered glass for my Note 5 since I got it last year and recently saw a crack on it and I was like how the heck I was like let me see if it's on the screen and
lol the whole thing cracked.
So I had a set of screen protectors at home for note 5 and I put that one. Now it's thin and doesn't even feel like there anything on the screen and the screen looks so beautiful colors and all but I'm worried-do we really need tempered glass protectors?
I've seen knife tests and all and this phone survives without any struggle so shouldn't this screen protector be enough?
What do you guys think? I do have a Spigen case on it-with in-built shock absorber and what not.
It depends on how anal you are. I assure you you will get a scratch at some point.
I got tempered glass because I didn't want a peice of plastic. Recently I watched a video about tempered glass and saw tempered glass can take a hit. If the tempered glass is hit at a specific way/angle then it shatters. But it can defiantly take a hit and prevent scratches

I understand but my question is should I get tempered glass or I'm fine with screen protector I have.
I already put one on but it's not tempered it's the regular one. Not sure how durable this is but my screen definitely looks better lol maybe because it's not that thick haha
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. If you have a decent lip on your case I don't think the glass buys you a whole lot. With a slim case without much lip, I think they have saved my phone's screens a couple of times.
I'd say go for glass. Plastic is plastic. Glass a few dollars more for a reason)
Tempered glass here

I got the zagg plastic xtreme I think...comes with front and back protect.
It is nice on the back too...no more fingerprints.
I don't have any scratches yet. I can sort of rub light scratches right out...kind of cool.
Tempered glass will give you the height protection against scratches and impact, better clarity, last longer, better feel in hand sometimes better feel then the glass phone itself, less fingerprints. Tg is also better then a "shatter film" because it has better ratio between scratches and impact resistance.
There is no debate here...
I have tempered glass just because its clearer than plastic and is easier to clean. Its not super thick so i dont really mind also for the extra protection on such a exspensive phone.

Tempered glass is the best way to go. It provides better protection, is very hard to scratch, doesnt impact optics, and is easier to apply. No brainer.
I'd stick with what we all know, tempered glass. Just purchased the Note 5 from a private party seller and luckily it didn't have many scratches from the previous owner NOT having a screen protector on.
Purchased the glass and am loving it.
They're cheap AF on amazon and as good of quality as the $50 ones in stores.
Well I dropped my phone from pocket height yesterday, it fell face down, and sure enough I seen a crack across the screen. I am using the caselogy that covers the edges, so when I peeled back the tempered glass...it was just the temperd glass cracked. Ordered a new 1 on eBay for 5 dollars, this glass lasted 4 months
Ok guys- even though when I bought the phone new I had tempered glass on it and I was just lazy to order another one since I already had regular screen protector with me.
I'll order one - It's by company JTtech - 9.99 on Amazon prime.
I just got lazy and to be honest- the tests on youtube shows that the bare screen of the phone is very resilient so I shrugged it off.
I'll order it today. I also have Spigen case on with raised edges.
I've got about 6 different tempered glass screen protectors because I can't stand the feel of the plastic screen protectors...
Mind you the screen on my note 5 is a freaking joke. I went about a month without a screen protector and my screen is scratched to all hell. And that's just from pocket use... So in the end it doesn't matter which one you go with, just use a screen protector.
It's not entirely how anal you are. I haven't used them in years and never had a problem because I would always keep my phone in a pocket which I was sure was empty. However I tried an oleo phobic tempered glass screen protector from Benks. It is hard to get it on perfectly, but it is great in that the screen is much more slippery for the swipe keyboard usage and also it never shows fingerprints on the screen any more. (Also this is not as important but I like it that it removes/hides/covers up the obnoxious 'Samsung' logo.) If you but them, buy more than one because if you mess up putting it on then you have a spare (which you would eventually use anyway). I recently dropped my phone for the first time and freaked out - but my case and the Benks tempered glass protector together completely protected the phone - with a big crack across the screen - which disappeared when I peeled off the protector!

Tempered glass screen protectors are the way to go. The only way tempered glass can crack or break is if the edge or corner is hit (I should know, i work with tempered glass everyday) and since these protectors are so thin, there is only a fine edge on it, nearly impossible to hit with something, even though i had something hit that fine edge at work. i get all my tempered glass protectors off Amazon, $4 - $7, as compared to $35 for a Zagg temp glass protector in stores, or even $25 for a plastic protector.
Tempered glass is best
But does anyone have the halo? I put mine on perfectly centered and I've got a hell of a halo. I was wondering if there's no halo with a plastic screen protector. That would be one reason to vote for plastic.

On my second tempered glass, and haven't seen any halos.
Which tempered glass screen protector works the best with the LG Watch Urbane? Is it easy to install without getting dust beneath the glass?
Because it is glass and it is flat, does that make it easier to install without there being air bubbles?
So. I have a tempered glass screen protector on my phone right now that is not full coverage. I was thinking about buying some Kristall liquid screen protector to cover the edges that are not covered by my tempered glass protector. Thoughts from everybody? Do you think the liquid screen protector will bond with the tempered glass right?
Anybody knows a tempered glass screen protector, which is fully adhesive. All the curved ones have only glue at the rim.
Try to go to roxfit.mobi They have good quality curved tempered glass SPs.
I got mine damaged thanks to my postman shoving it in my mailbox and breaks the tempered glass. But Roxfit refunded my money right away.
I'm sure that if mine didn't get damaged, it would be an awesome screen protector.

The roxfit has only glue at the sides and with the time is entering dust between screen and protector and sometimes you have interferences because it's not full glued. But it seems all curved protectors don't have full glue (don't know if there is a technical problem to produce curved protectors with overall glue). For this reason i like flat screens with flat protectors. But the gimmick of curved screens is now very common.
Please report your experiences with the roxfit protector if you decide to replace the broken one.
there is a plain full glue glass protector from nillkin.

Most tempered glass screen protectors come with an install frame. Can i still use the clear case or will the frame get in the way?
I have a lg v20 atm and if i use a tempered glass screen protector i will sometimes get oil like stains on it. Does the same problem exist with the note 9? I will most likely get a normal 13€ screen protector from amazon.de and just hope that the s pen will still work, that i can still use a case with it and that there wont be any annoying oil like stains
Personally I haven't had any compatibility issues between cases and cheaper screen protectors, since most of them don't cover the screen edge-to-edge. What will likely happen with the cheaper ones is the rainbow effect resembling an oil stain which you mentioned - this happens because underneath most screen protectors is a microscopic dot matrix keeping the glass slightly elevated from the display surface, with glue only on the edges of the protector. To avoid this, what you want is a screen protector that utilizes a full glue structure; in short, a glass protector whose entire surface area is adhered to the display. These are sold less and less, because generally they're very tricky to install on curved glass. You might want to consider products like the Whitestone Dome, which uses liquid UV glue.
You don't need to worry about the S pen - Unless your new screen protector is made of metal, it will work with every film or glass sheet out there.
I've got a Whitestone Dome protector fitted to my NOTE9 and I'm using the Samsung clear case that came with my phone.
No issues at all, the Samsung clear case and Whitestone Dome protector do not interfere with each other.
Just confirming... are you referring to the Samsung Note9 S-View Cover?
If so, most screen protectors shouldn't interfere with the case. The frame you referenced is generally for installing the protector, then it's removed.
I use an S-View Cover. I like it in general, but two things:
1) Anticipate that the cover won't set flat for a while (if ever): Some have used a hairdryer or heatgun along the rib to get it to relax. That helped mine a bit.
2) It scratches easily! If I had a do-over, I'd try to find a protective film to cover it
I've got a Whitestone glass screen protector and the Samsung case has no problems, also have an Otterbox Symmetry case and no problem with that one either. Like was said most glass screen protectors don't go right to the edge so most case should have no trouble.
