I own iCarez tempered glass screen protector. I like the feeling of glass rather than plastic. Also, plastic attracts oil and scratches easier. The glass hardness is 9 on the hardness scale so it won't scratch easily. It adds .3 mm to the thickness of the device.The iCarez one I have is anti-oil so it doesn't attract oil. Plastic screen protectors (at least the cheap ones) have a rainbow effect at certain viewing angles.
Cons of tempered glass protectors:
-adds ~.3 mm to thickness of device
-more expensive than plastic ones
Highly recommend glass protectors, just make sure to apply it correctly for they usually only come in packs of 1
Glass all the way no bubbles and u can't even tell it's on your screen plus the bonus glass break protection that it offers.
Glass, glass glass! Never again will i use a plastic protector.
The 5 dollar glass covers on ebay work fine.
I recently got the spigen glas.tr for my S5 and couldn't be happier. Installation was much easier than plastic ones, and the glass is not even noticeable. Not to mention that it has an oleophobic coating. Zagg makes glass protectors but it looks like they're back ordered.

Ditto ..Glass all day !! Will never go back to film even the cheapest of glass is better than the most expensive film in my opinion..I've had this glass on since I've gotten this device and still looks the same as day one ...hands down ..best purchase I've made in a while.

Just put a glass zag protector on my granddaughter's Ipad air, she dropped it not even 10 minutes later, not a mark, scratch, fracture or dimple on the screen. Of course the zag did it's job and shattered like the tech that installed said it would and it's covered under warranty they are sending me a new one free of charge.
So go with glass it's worth the money

I have used both (zag invisishield, ghost armor and armour suit) and no matter what the film will yellow and start to peel over time
I prefer glass I also think it feels a lot better and not so cheap like the film's do
Glass for me....always. ..g
I prefer glass because it doesn't "drag" as much as plastic film does... the glass protects the screen while still keeping it "smooth as glass"
Days after installing the glass it cracked. Small places. Then bigger cracks.
Now I don't know what to do about it! They actually installed at the ATT store.

most of the glass shields come with a lifetime warranty, you register your purchase on line then if it breaks they send you a replacement free of charge, the rep at ATT should have provided you with the information to register it online. if not you have your reciept i think you can go online and register it that way.

Thanx!
But I wonder why it broke with no impact. And I wonder HOW they will get the cracked one off.

Is the lip on a protective case a problem?
I had a plastic film screen protector on my s3. The lip of the rubber protective case pushed against it and caused it to peel up along the edges. Will the glass protectors do the same thing? Are any of the glass protectors slightly undersized to allow for the lip on a protective case?

Glass should not peel up. I use the ones from xtremeguard.com they do monthly coupons for 90% off. I bought 4 of them for 15 bucks, kept 1 for a spare and sold the other 2 for 20 bucks each. Here is this month's promo code.

I bought a LG G2 today.:victory: I am wondering should I have to apply a screen guard to protect the screen from scratches or the 'Corning Gorilla Glass 2' is strong enough. I will apply tempered glass later, for now I want to protect from scratches. Please help me with this.
I used a Screen Protector for a while... but eventually took it off several months ago. The screen looks flawless still. Each their own but I'm not. Typically I am very anal about screen protectors but it really isn't needed on the G2.
Use the glass screen protectors, they're actually really durable. Mine has survived falls without damage, and the glass is scratch resistant.

The LgG2 glad is the toughest I've come across.
You're plastic back effect will tarnish well before your screen scratches

Bought a tempered glass that was advertised as being small and fitting for the curved screen. It was trash a d I took it off and I'm loving the screen naked.

I love tempered glass screen protectors but it seems like all the glass protectors for the Nexus 6 have bad reviews on Amazon. Does anyone have a suggestion on what screen protector I should use? Has anyone tried the Zagg Invisibleshield glass screen protector?
I initially put a Skinomi tech skin on when I received my phone, thinking it would be a temporary solution until tempered glass would be available. Well, I'm still waiting, but the Skinomi is excellent. No orange peel, doesn't mess with the proximity sensor and the feel is great. It is a wet apply protector though, if that concerns you.
Have a look in the Nexus 6 accessories forum. Lots of discussion and reviews in there.
If you are going to 5.1, make sure you have a protector that has cut outs for the proximity sensor, lots of folks have had issues with black screens after cell calls due to the screen protector.
I purchased 2 protectors that both have cutouts for the sensors. Not a commercial endorsement; Jelly Comb Premium 9H $7.99 and Fosmon TOUCH Crystal Clear 0.26mm $7.99 both from Amazon. I put on the Fosmon and no bsod.
Does anyone know of a tempered glass protector with black bezels that covers up the LG logo on the front?

I'm looking for one as well. Had one for my G2 from znitro.
They make some for g4 but don't cover the bezels.

But it doesnt cover LG logo.
Jeebus, $47.99?!?! They're awfully proud of that thing!
That would only be the option. I recommend mime usa. They have amazing tempred glass that holds up through hell and back with ease.

Which one will last 2 years or longer and is the strongest/protective/ultra clear and most responsive towards fingerprint reading? Should I consider liquid adhesive types of screen protectors?
...more will be updated soon...
I think anyone of them will last 2yrs, it all depends on your care level.
I like the one without the camera cutout but worry it would cause glare or irregular pictures.
If you plan to use a case, I wouldn't use the camera protectors due to possible fitment issues.. The Pixel 7 is aluminum bezel and a case has the bump outs to protect the glass camera screen.
I just bought a 3 pack of SuperShieldz and they work fine. Had them on my last phone. Fitment is good as well.
