Best Glass Screen Protector?

What is the best glass screen protector available right now for the note 4? I wish the spigen gLass nano.slim was available....

spigen gLass nano.slim for sure, however, being in the same boat as most of yall waiting for it to become available I just ordered the iSmooth one as I've used them before and it's pretty good quality compared to the cheapo's out there.
Just to get me by...oh well...

This is what I have; I like tech armor because of their lifetime warranty. I have not used a glass screen protector before but put one of these on my wife's iphone and it seems great...

Iloome screen protectors have good reviews. Mine should be here in a few days

Ever since when there is Gorilla glass, I never use screen protector anymore.
Why do people need it now?

Sometimes I forget I have my keys, or loose change in my pocket. Don't want t o scratch the screen.

The question is:
Which glass screen protector will have the greatest coverage (closest to the edges) as most, if not all, glass protectors are cut short stopping right before the curves near the edges.
This may be a problem.....having second thoughts about glass screen protectors now...

I think the iloom e might have full coverage. They bragged about being the first to do it on iPhone 6 and that also has the 2.5D glass as well.

i grabbed this one, and it shipped really fast; not sure how it will work, but its full coverage, and under 9 bucks!

I don't use screen protectors either. But ever since I saw a few people here at work with glass screen protectors on their new iphones I've been looking around and they seem pretty awesome. I've seen a few videos on youtube where they smash the screen with a hammer and only the protector broke with the screen left intact.. Also the anti-fingerprint coating is a plus. The cases I buy always have to have a lip but the screen protector is just in case.
This UAG case I have on my note 2 has saved my phone so so many times from being dropped 5ft in the air flat on its face.

The tech armor doesn't come close to covering the whole screen..piss

I have always been partial to invisisheilds. The extreme versions is what I've used on my pass galaxy devices. Then I moved to the glass version of their product on my note 3. It was perfectly clear had a life time warranty. I am looking forward to using the same for my note 4.

I bought the Envelop one. Thing isn't even big enough, just ordered a Spigen one.

I bought two Spigens based on reputation and price: $3.49 each (plus $5.00 shipping) at the early morning (ET) Amazon flash sale. If I had to pay full price, I'd also consider a non-glass solution, Rhino Shield.

Darn, I bought the tech armor glass last week. I guess it'll have to hold me over until better ones come out. I bought it direct from Techarmor.com and used promo code TechArmor2962 for 30% off. Came out to be $9. I bought the Spigen one for the iPhone 6 and it didn't cover the entire front either.

I am still debating on whether to buy screen protectors either glass or not as I haven't used screen protectors in years and everything I have/had was/is fine...
but seeing how the note 4 would be the most expensive mobile/handheld device I've bought and come to think of it probably the most expensive thing I have every bought in my life I might wanna protect it from here and back XD

Rhino Shield's website has a variety of videos persuasively showing the need for some kind of screen protection. As between their product and a good glass screen protector, there seem to be both pluses and minuses, so long as one is willing to accept the fact that, in an acute situation, the glass screen protector will be destroyed.

Any of the glass protectors available leave the space between the home button and the bottom of the phone exposed? I don't think I want a glass protector that encircles the home button because that would mean trouble for the fingerprint scanner as far as I can tell - a sticker for the home button would surely interfere with it.
Thanks!

For what it's worth, I have the Mime Ghost glass protector and it encircles the home button. It doesn't effect the finger print scanner at all. It works great.
With that being said, I can't recommend the Mime. Like other glass protectors thus far the sides are no where close to staying flush against the screen.

[Q] Tempered glass screen protector?

I know that the phone is fairly new, but does anyone know of available tempered glass screen protectors for the Droid Turbo other than the Verizon brand? Is there an ETA for anything so far? I usually just order through Amazon, but haven't seen anything that was noteworthy yet.

There are some difficulties in making a glass screen protector for the turbo's screen because of the curved glass edges. The issue is that the screen protector naturally wants to pull away to a flat like state. Because of this, you see very few companies offer tempered glass protectors for devices with the curved glass edges, and most people report a poor experience with them, as the edges release from the glass, thus making it easy for the screen protector to get pulled off.
A few solutions that have been tried are the company making the protector a bit smaller than the screen, to avoid the curved edge, but then you don't get full coverage, and have a sharp / noticeable edge from the screen protector. The other solution is to make it thinner / more pliable, but that raises its own issues (cost, loss of protective qualities).
I know Zagg is working hard on developing a tempered glass screen protector that will work with the curved glass screens, thanks to the iPhone 6 plus having this type of screen, but it could be awhile before they release it, let alone it trickles down to other devices. Once they figure it out, though, it should spread to other protectors (given most off brand protectors are made by one of the Chinese manufacturers of Zagg, just rebranding them, and likely lowering quality control a bit).

Okay, so I found 2 new entries on Amazon for the glass protectors. One is the Casebase brand and the other is the Orzly brand. The Casebase comes with 2 protectors and seems to have a better fit for the front-facing camera. I would post the links, but I'm a newbie so I can't yet. Lmk what you guys think about them.

Verizon has the tempered glass in their stores, I bought mine when I received the phone 2-3 days into the launch!

Looks like these are the thicker 9h ones with rounded edges too and the prices are rather cheap. I going to give it a few weeks until the crappy verizon tempered glass starts lifting then give one of these a shot. Thanks for posting!

I used a 85% off today. I can't remember what exactly it was but I just did a google search for coupon code.

I'm going to go ahead and try out the Xtremeguard Spartan tempered glass screen protector. I wish there was a 90% off coupon, but I settled with the 80% since I've been waiting on a decent glass protector for awhile now. I'll let you guys know how it is once I put it on, but I don't know if my opinion would be all that valid since this will be my first glass protector.

The Zagg glass for the iPhone 6, 6 plus, and Note 4 with curved screens are already available and work perfectly. I would say the fact that it isn't currently available for the Turbo has more to do with it being a Verizon exclusive than anything else.

I just looked up the one for the six and six plus. What are they doing that's different from anyone else? Its just smaller then they call it case friendly lol I expected some new technology on the curve I guess. The only solution I've ever seen for tempered glass on a curved screen as they just make it smaller so it doesn't reach the curve.

It isn't really noticeable while just looking at the product, but the Zagg's now have a curvature equal to that of the curve of the screen. The first wave of Zagg Glass panels for the 6, 6+, and Note 4 were all defective. They peeled up at the edges and would never lay down completely flat (I work for Best Buy I install 30-50 of them a week.) The second round of shipments had ironed out whatever kinks were causing the imperfect fit.

I'm confused as to why you would want a screen protector on a Gorilla Glass screen with a free replacement warranty? Is there something I'm missing, or is there something else special about these tempered glass screen protectors?
As for me, I've never broken or even scratched a screen in the last 10 years. Guess I'm lucky.

I used to be one of those people too. I had never cracked a screen in my life because I always take care of my phone, but it all changed when it happened to my HTC One. Accidents happen and I'd rather lose a screen protector than have to use that free screen replacement. I think 10 bucks is a reasonable price to spend to protect a $600-700 phone, especially when i plan on keeping it for the foreseeable future. I still don't completely understand using bulky cases, but that's probably because I baby my phone.

Spartan glass received today - put it on and took it off - the curved glass edges do not stick and looks terrible - asking for refund

I have never carried a screen protector on my phone previously either as I felt the quality was utter **** on them and I won't look at one with bubbles and crap in it.
The tempered glass ones don't peel up or bubble (when they are not defective and are installed correctly.) They are PERFECTLY clear, don't obscure the screen at all, and they feel just like touching the actual screen. I truly consider them to be poor man's insurance.

Gotcha. Thanks

Best glass screen protector?

Hey everyone I am in need if a tempered glass screen protector. When I first got this turbo upon release all there really was is the Verizon one which is just thick plastic and now that I got a replacementu an now in need of a tempered glass screen protector.

I got the ivoler brand on amazon. I love it.

i also have had the ivoler for about a month and a half and am happy with it. There is a tiny bit of halo-ing for me at the bottom but overall it has been good and has only gotten a couple scratches thus far. good feel as well.

Which one did you guys get? The 0.2 or 0.3mm

I have the 0.2. I believe the consensus is that it is superior but can't say because I haven't tried both. I believe there is a discussion in the accessories section though!
Edit. Totally forgot the MIME came out for the turbo recently. Haven't had experience with the company but read good things so potentially another to consider

How's the fit now? I got the Verizon glass one the day I got the Droid and not only was it cheap but it barely covered the screen. I know they can't go all the way to the edge but the bottom of it didn't even cover all of the capacitive buttons. Kept catching my finger on it

Are you sure it's glass now? Maybe some pics would be nice. Because the ones they used to sell saying it's flexible glass was all a scam and was just thick plastic.

The ivoler goes as close to the edge as possible and sticks very well to the phone including the edges in which at times screen protectors tend to not do so. I might as well try the ivoler tempered glass and or maybe the Verizon one.

I just purchased the Xtreme Gaurd Spartan tempered glass protector today. Its .4mm thick which I think is around the thickness of the zagg which I like. Also they have a site wide 50% off code right now posted on the top of the site. It came out to $30 but thats about what I paid for my zagg tempered protector on my G3. I will post pics when I receive it.

There is just so many options and hard to choose. What's so great about xtreme guard though? Haven't heard of that company.

So many tempered glass options I just don't know what to choose everyone. How good is mime?

Not to sure just went out on a limb with it. I like the thickness of the zagg so I'm hoping its somewhat the same. Factory "glass" screen protector I got from Verizon is stratched to where its starting to bother me so I hope the xtreme gaurd does better in the scratch deptpartment .

Current case and screen protection

I was going through this thread to see what screen protectors and cases you all people use as a kind of recommendation for my next case and screen protector. But all you people are scattered in different posts discussing things.
So lets make things easy for everyone.
Post your current setup (the past one as well if you want) and your view about that. And the links and some photos would be loved for sure. :good:
.

And a thanks if this thread helps you get a case or skin or screen protector in future :laugh:

Am myself using Bracevor wallet cover with the the stock screen film. No skin whatsoever. (planning to change this all soon)
Amazon India: http://www.amazon.in/Bracevor-BROPL3ELLCBR-Premium-Leather-Cover/dp/B0157OUT7C

The oem carbon fiber case paired with the oem curved screen protector is absolutely perfect. Can't even feel the seam between the glass and case. I hate cases in general, but I adore this setup.

Using the orzly multifunction wallet with the official tgsp.
Works a treat.

How's the day to day usage with bumper case? Is it worth the money? Any comparison with other cases you have used?

The main reason for getting the case was to showcase the metal back of the op3. And it does that beautifully.
The quality is great, however its a bit loose on the sides (by no means it will pop out, needs considerable effort) due to which sometimes the alert slider does not work, you have to press and move it. Is not noticeable unless you pull at the sides.
Does not add any thickness overall apart from the upper and the lower lip on the back. However the phone feels a bit broader in hand.
Overall happy, although pricey for 1700 inr ordered via their site 5$ discount covered the shipping.
I also have the sandstone and spigen tough armor.

Buy the gadgetshieldz screen protector. It is also film type one and durable too. Also it gives you the option of full phone film.

I have ordered one because my onePlus3 has many scratches one the surface, but the protector has reduced the display quality. Is there any screen protector that does not reduce the display quality? I have removed the protector, because for me it is better with scratches on the display than having reduced contrast by protector.
By the way, i never had scratches on any Phone display. The resistance to scratches seems to be very bad on this phone.

Any recommendations for a cheap tempered glass protector?

Is anyone here using a cheap tempered glass protector and is satisfied with it? By that I mean perfect seal on the sides and no dust has gotten inside the screen area. By cheap I obviously mean side adhesive protectors since I have yet to see a generic version of the Whitestone.
I'm asking because they're not all the same. I bought one for my S8+ and it fully adhered to the sides of the screen. No dust ever got into the screen area.
I bought a 4-pack from a different seller on ebay and I would get dust inside within a day so obviously some use better adhesive than others.
I need to pick up something from Amazon or Ebay quickly. I'm using the Ringke Invisible Defender (garbage) and there's too much friction when scrolling or when using the s-pen.
It's like making love to tree bark.

I'm on my third and they all suck so far. I even purchased a 25 dollar one due to great reviews. It fit great but no glue on the screen so there was a HUGE loss of sensitivity and a lot of "clicking". I just bit the bullet and bought the Whitestone Dome Glass.

I'm on my second one so far and still not happy. I tried one from Poetic and totally sucked. Sucked so bad they e-mailed me lol and said they were sending out replacements.
I'm using one now that's better than the first one but still not happy. This one's by Wellci. It's not great but it's cheap and works pretty good.

Weren't they able to pull these off for the 7? Kind of concerned, I bought a wet apply which I haven't opened yet. Seems like the dark ages.

I have high hopes for the IQ shield wet apply as I had a good experience with the S8+ version. Hopefully they have a matte version.
The Spigen wet apply isn't very good.
But all of these wet apply ones are going to be terrible given the use of the s-pen.

I bought a cheap tempered glass screen protector from eBay hoping it would be ok.
This thread does not inspire hope.
Once my phone arrives, I'll apply the screen protector and report back.
I may be quite angry.

The ONLY one worth a $hit is the whitestone dome glass. All the others are trash plain and simple. I had it on my S8+ and it was perfect and I expect the same out of the note 8 version. I am waiting for mine to come in actually. Should be here by next monday I believe.

Simply use loca octopus glue and a uv light on any of those options. Whitestone replica
