[Q] How much do you pay for screen protectors

Hello people!
How many of you out there are using screen protectors?
If you do, how much do you pay for a piece of flat plastic?
If you do not, how are your screen doing?

About 2 scratches for a half year of working. Don't think this is big price for better response from touchscreen without protector.

Didn't have one until scratched it. 2 nasty stripes along my screen, think i had tattoo and my old nokia in same pocket...sharp edges of my nokia did not like my new phone's screen.
Screen protector slightly cloaks the scratches and prevents new ones i guess. Barely noticeable.
costs pennies in UK ebay.

I buyed 15 pieces from China shipped (cheaper with 3 x 5). I think they costed me about half a USD. You can just see it on the screen if you look very good. You may notice the edges of the protector. But the colors of the screen and quality is just the same, i cannot see any difference. Before this, I used another protector for 1 USD. The problem was:
1. Production fault. A big square cutted in the middle of the protector. It should have been on the other layer, that actually is garbage.
2. "Wadda heck happened to your screen?!"
3. Colors were absorbed buy the plastic and so was some of the brightness.
But this new one, half the price, is just NEAT!

Screen Protector
Hi,
I bought 6 screen protectors for £ 1.95 on ebay.
I never had risks on my screen, but the digitizer already broke two times in two years, but fortunately I still have warranty.
I think one year from now I'll have to buy a digitizer (around £ 5 on ebay).

I used to buy protectors 3 for 5 USD or something on ebay (always the same seller) but I lost 4 of them when re-innovating the flat and now I'm fed up and don't use any protectors any more
Matte protectors are ok,
Mirror protectors provided a distorted reflection and made looking at the screen in sunlight nearly impossible.
And I haven't tried the privacy protectors.

Specific for tattoo with anti-glare: 0.37$ each or same model without anti-glare: 0.25$, and the more i buy the less i spend.
Made in china and low shipping, of course

Cracked glass on N1, which parts do I need to fix?

Is this all I need?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Google-...ltDomain_0&hash=item4a9f14c663#ht_2977wt_1169
Thanks in advance!

as someone who's done the repair twice. Don't buy from ebay as they sell cheaper knockoffs.
Its actually pretty complicated and almost worth the money to send it in for repair.
Really.

i disagree, the repair was fairly easy if youre following a guide. ive done it once and taken mine completely apart twice. the most difficult part was separating the broken glass from the rubber part where it is mounted and getting the bottom part of the phone off without breaking it or leaving marks. I used spray adhesive to seal the new digitizer to the mount. I bought mine from amazon, just about the same price and came with prying tools. it was good quality with only a single miniature air bubble in the glass which is only noticeable if youre really looking for it on a full white screen.
if only your glass is broken that is all you should need, the digitizer. if the lcd is cracked or bleeding you will need that as well.

Screen protector Rant....

I was at the Mall today and people were lined up at an "Armour screen protector" kiosk. I don;t understand screen protectors. They are paying $25 for a screen protector to keep their screen from scratching. But they are also playing $25 for a screen protector that WILL get scratched up and then maybe another $25 in 6 months to replace that "ugly" one.....all while at the end of the day delivering a pristine phone to .......someone else.
My take is I want to use the phone as designed. I have not found any screen protector that is as smooth and clear as the glass. I want to enjoy the phone not protect it from scratches. My screen is pretty scratched up from pocket carrying but when i turn it on they all magically "disappear" Only when the phone is off and in my pocket does it look like its used.
Now some will say they will get more for their phone when they sell them if they are flawless. I would rather save all the money spent on cases and screen protectors and sell the phone at a $50- $70 discount to market and in the mean time enjoy the phone as designed. When I sell them I explicitly state anal buyers and those who "wear" their phones should pass despite the price. When I buy a used phone i will take the discount for a wear and tear phone rather than a pristine one.
Plus one can always throw a screen protector on and "erase" all the scratches if they are that OCD about these things. My Note will sell for $290 all day long with hairline scratches all over the screen which is about a $50-$100 discount to what they are selling on Ebay used, I will throw it up with no reserve and a buy in now price of $270 and see where the bidding goes. I'm betting either it goes for $270 very quickly or it gets bid to $300. now I know there are cheap Hong Kong screen protectors and they may be good. But nothing is as good as glass......I even am aware of the glass screen protectors which i found rather ridiculous as they can scratch as well..scratched screen protectors look as bad as a scratched phone!
I did get one of those $3 Hong Kong "gel" cases but hated it as I could not get it out of the pocket. The phone is big enough without a sticky rubber case. If I drop it.... my bad. but $25 for a "screen protector? Really? I think the people who make the claims that screen protectors are "better" then the glass...probably sell them at huge Margins....I am guessing 300-400% or more. Fear sells and OCD people line up for $35 "screen protectors" at Mall kiosks. I don;t know about many but scratching a $25 piece of olohenfdgc mastedfde" plastic would piss me off. That is not supposed to scratch its scratch "resistant"
Rant Over
Are there any others out there who disdain all cases and screen protectors and just enjoy their devices care free?

I totally understand your point. 25 dollars is ridiculous for screen protector. I do try to have to get one around 10 dollars though.
It is more of a feeling like if your car gets dinged or scratched. I dont think I ever cared about scratching my phones before the smartphone era though.

People have become conditioned by cleaver advertising to viewing these tools as Jewelry for profit. The funny thing is these are not items we even keep a long time. The Zagg people really have created a business from nothing but fear and obsessive compulsion. I have witnessed people who would lose sleep if their phones got dinged. This is not a $25,000 car here with a door ding. Its a $600 cell phone, a tool, I guess I am not an OCD type about anything. I don;t understand "glass" (on glass) screen protection. LOL
I simply use things and don't obsess over them except that they work perfectly and do what they are designed to do each and every time.When I buy something used I want to know one thing. Does it work like it was designed? Not is that a small ding I see photo on the corner in that 200% zoomed or hairline scratches on the screen. When someone starts asking those questions on my sales I tell them to move along and spend another $50 or $100 bucks.

I had the same mentality with my last 3 smart phones, until IT happens.
You get a giant scratch going straight down the middle of your screen.
Its horrible, you see it during games, movies, browsing, EVERYTHING.
In short, I'm not making the same mistake twice. I'll pay an extra $15 every 12 months to see a fresh scratch less screen.

There is merit in what you say.

I agree. .. I quit using screen protectors a long time ago. Have never scratched a phone. Case I will use though. Screen protectors are a waste of time and money. Use the damn phone as intended and stop worrying.

My Note screen is full of small visible scratches. The flip cover created most of them since I live near the beach sand would get in there and scratch the heck out of the screen. I bought the phone used and it had the flip cover on it. I took it off and went naked. Many here would likely break out in sweat if they saw my screen and its really not all that bad LOL.
I have couple deep ones as well but I don't see them when I am using the device. A scratch has to be pretty much a crack for me to be bothered by it while using the device. A lot of mental anguish for nothing. I can understand someone buying a $4 screen protector and dealing with any issues it causes that may take away from the phones display or user experience to avoid the dastardly scratch. But people are being conned into spending $25 to $50 for a device that will keep the real screen no one is using pristine for the next owner and it will get scratched easier than the screen itself !
A case I can understand for those who fear dropping their devices and cannot replace them. But the Note is too big already. cannot imagine it with a case even though its clumsy size and one hand handling begs for one.The Iphone looks like a Key FOB next to it.
I guess I will never understand agonizing over minutia only to sell a pristine phone for another to enjoy and not stress over. Although if a scratch on the screen of a mobile device is the only thing one really worries about, I have to think they have a great life going LOL...

So this. $25 for a screen protector is highway robbery. ..but you can get protection in the event of *it* much more reasonably. My evo4g I never scrern protected, my note2 I did as the S-pen is an unknown quantity in how hard it can be.
At work my phone lives in a case and holster. Need my phone at work, and a naked phone falling on concrete floor is a shattered screen waiting to happen.

OH hell no...No way I would pay $20 for a screen protector.. Got to buy a screen protector to protect the screen protector........What if the screen protector it gets scratched? then I am out $20 and my phone looks like the Shyte I was paying $20 to prevent!! Then another $20 has to be blown Before ya know I have $100 in screen protectors protecting a phone thats dropping in value faster than a hooker at a bachelor party.

Screen protectors are very much a personal choice. There is no right/wrong decision on whether you should use one.
I would say for the everyday office commuter, they are probably overkill. When a desk or a conference table is the harshest environment your phone is ever likely to see, there is no need to sped $15-$20 on a screen protector. You don't wear steel-toe boots and a hard hat to the office for the same reason. It is important to protect your head and feet, but you don't need that level of protection if the environment your in doesn't provide that type of danger.
That being said, I work construction. I work in a technical field (so a phone like this comes in handy), but I'm constantly around dust, debris and micro-particals. I work on hard, filthy surfaces; I climb ladders; I'm around power tools. It just isn't a very nice environment for consumer electronics. I use a screen protector. I also wear a hard-hat and steel-toe boots when I'm on the job. The protection is needed.
In regards to gorilla glass, it really is just a matter of physics. Sure you can rake your car keys up and down the screen all day long and not see a scratch. After all, car keys are soft metal. But a single grain of sand, a small rock, or a piece of silica debris can make your $700 phone look like a cutting board. All that is required for a scratch is an object with the right hardness combined with the right amount of force. This is not hard to achieve.
Another thing to consider: As your phone gets older and more used, you will develop wear spots. These are micro-patterns that develop in the glass over the most frequently used parts of the screen. They are hard to see, and can only be seen in the right light, but they will develop. They would develop even if your screen was made of pure diamond. Friction will eventually wear down any surface. But as the above poster points out, how long are you likely to own this phone before you upgrade? You may not have to worry about this.
Only you can decide if a screen protector is worth it for you. For me, I believe they are. For others, not so much. The fact is, there IS a legitimate market for them and it is not all sensationalist nonsense.
Thats my $0.02

My auction for my immaculate Note 1 ended on this past weekend at $400+30 shipping. I had a screen protector and case on it since I bought it on launch day last October.
I completely understand where you are coming from and sometimes I wish I were more like you, but I'm not. I wish I can just toss my phone around and not give a damn as long as it works, but I can't. I, like some of you guys mentioned, have OCD when it comes to screens and damage on my electronic devices. I can't stand the thought of having a scratch or ding on my device, but I can deal with light scratches and dings on screen protectors and cases. Just knowing my phone is in immaculate condition puts me to ease. For me, it's more of a mental state of mind. I think this applies to some people here too.
Some people do it for the resale value, which I understand. I did not expect my phone to sell so high, but I guess the condition of it really attracted the buyer.
There are many other reasons why people get screen protectors. I hope you understand that not everyone is the same and maybe you can look at this from a different point of view. We all have our reasons and preferences.

It's all about peace of mind. Plus, screen protectors come in many different flavors to suit your preference. You can get completely clear ones that you will never even notice or matte protectors that drastically reduce greasy fingerprints and glare. You can get most good quality protectors for around $10-15. So I would argue that it doesn't make sense not to get one for such an expensive touch screen device. I do agree that the Zagg protectors are terrible, but for some reason they are the only ones carried by retailers like Best Buy. Many people swear by them though.

Let me also that you get what you paid for. Some people say "hey the screen protector sucks" well that's probably because he paid 2 dollars for it on Amazon.
When you get a screen protector, quality matters, don't judge based on those that China dime store crap.
At this point if you do your research and apply it right, it feels and looks like nothing is on your phone.
Plus, better resale value and peace of mind.
Don't ask me how, but I dropped a fork right on my screen, it warped the hell out of my screen protector and I freaked out, pulled off my screen protector, and not a scratch was on the glass.
We all make mistakes, and accidents happen, I for one would rather play it safe, and seeing as a measly screen protector for a small amount amount of money is all that separates my phone from having a non repairable scratch on the glass forever or a simple screen protector dent that can be replaced, then I'm fine with using them.

Uh, I just bought a pair of SGP ultra crystal protectors on amazon for $14 shipped (I have amazon prime). So, I guess we're in agreement that I, too, wouldn't pay $20 for a screen protector.
The flaw in your logic is the part when you say "What if the screen protector it gets scratched?" Remove the word protector from that question, and now you know why we use screen protectors. Would cost you a lot more than $7, or $20 for that matter.

We can all agree that 25 bucks for a plastic screen protector is over priced....
But really, I don't quite comprehend how a sensible person can state that a screen protector is "a waste of money" or "worthless" or follow the logic that simply because the protector will itself get scratched that somehow that correlates to the use of one being illogical....
The WHOLE point of the protector is insurance that your screen won't get scratched AND has less chance of getting damaged in a drop where the screen is impacted.
If you don't want to use one fine... but to argue that this is somehow a scam is like arguing that airbags are a scam, or that race car drivers don't need multi-point seat belts. They may never get used but you won't find a driver in the world that wouldn't wear one just in case.

Equating Screen protectors with seat belts or multipurpose seat belts in a race car makes my point. Lets see.......... a scratched screen or dead body....Yeah that's a good analogy and appropriate for the anxiety some people feel about these devices I think the rant is more about being anal bout a device people don;t keep for sometimes even 6 months. Then bump a sell for weeks because no one wants to pay top dollar for a year old device anyway, Very few Note s are going on Ebay for even $350 . If someone wants to pay $400 for a Pristine old Note God Bless them. I believe most would rather pay less than $300 and cover up a scratched screen with a $3 screen protector if that bothers them. But that's just me. Personally I would pay less for a wear and tear phone than a pristine one because I use the phone. I don't wear them. If it looked that bad I would skinnit.
$25 screen protectors are a scam IMO.
If one believes they will drop their phone, put it in a good heavy duty case. No screen protector will prevent a screen from cracking if the phone is dropped on one of the four corners the corner, It may only suffer one or two cracks though

I understand what you say. I never buy screen protectors, mainly because many of them degrade the quality of the screen, but also like you said it doesn't feel as nice to the touch as glass. But maybe I'll change my mind if I see that magical screen protector that can't be detected on the screen and feels as good as glass.

I guess I want to enjoy the phone as is. Slim slick body. Slick glass. Slips in a pocket easy and undetectable for a huge device. The only thing I know that will mar the glass is sand. That is what made the hairline scratches on mine. But even most of those scratches cannot be felt with a fingernail I have two small ones that can be if one tries hard enough. The stylus is completely safe and way softer than glass
The screen protectors they were selling at the mall felt like smooth Zagg. Rubbery and they did show a difference in screen quality. I was astonished at the prices more than anything. I thought Best Buy's $19.99 screen protectors were a stretch. The box looked really important though.Marketing is a wonderful thing.

Ishieldz tempered glass sp broken in days....

Is this to be expected or is this just a crap screen protector? I paid $40 for this thing because I forgot to order one with my phone, it was the only Nexus 5X protector I could find in a 50 mile radius. I put it on properly (bathroom after shower, hinge method), I'm using a case as well. I dropped it about a foot onto the floor today and the corner is smashed, glass shards falling out. Guess what the "lifetime warranty" doesn't cover?
This is the first glass protector I've had so I don't know if this is common for not. Of course they say it's designed to break as it takes the impact force away from the screen. So they're engineered to fail basically? I wouldnt mind as much if it had lasted longer than 6 days, I definitely didn't get my money's worth! I've never broken a screen with the plastic ones I've been using for years so I'm probably not going to use glass again, unless someone can show me a good one

I know a lot of people like the glass screen protectors, but I've had bad luck with them. I had good quality protectors on a DSLR and a phone, and they both "just broke" within a month. The folks who like these things all say, "See, it saved your device's screen!" Well, I don't buy it. Like the OP, I've never had a lick of trouble with screen damage while using a plastic screen protector.
I think it's all just ingenious marketing. They break, and the owner then declares it a good thing (saved my device!) and buys another.

You got ripped off if you paid $40 for a screen protector.

I broke my Spigen tempered glass screen protector a couple of days ago too. It wasn't related to any impact that I could tell, I just picked up my phone one day and there was a small chip/crack near the center of the screen.
I replaced it with another of the same type, but if it breaks again I'm going back to PET.

Pleson glass screen protector with Cruzerlite case user here. I've dropped my phone with that setup probably a handful of times and have had no problems. Had a different brand glass screen protector and same case for my GS5 for the 1.5 year I had it and no problems with that as well. I've never spent more than $10-$15 on the screen protectors.

I use a glass screen protector on my 5x, my girlfriend uses one for her iPhone. I've never cracked any of my phones' screens, nor have I cracked my glass screen protector (this is my first device with one). My girlfriend has broken her current iPhone's screen twice. So I made her get a glass screen protector to see if that'd help. Went a month before hers cracked from dropping it. But saved getting the screen replaced! I think they're worth it...

If you pay more than $5 for tempered glass, you're gonna have a bad time. They are all literally the exact same thing.
That being said... It alllllll depends on how it hits. OP, sounds like you just had it in a sweet spot.
Worst case anyways, screen assemblies are going for $60 if you know where to source the part. LG phones are super quick and easy to fix.

$40 is too expensive for me,many brands are avaliable and you really don't need pay so much!As far as i know,lifetime warranty dosen't cover"abnomal use",if your protector have halo effects or bubbles during installation etc,sellers will arrange a new one for you without hesitate.

I know op is a bit old by now and it's already been said, but $40 for a tempered glass screen protector was a huge ripoff.
On amazon they are 6-10 max. I've got a few different brands and they are all the same - meaning they are probably just bought by different companies for their own rebranding.

The biggest difference is some of the cheaper ones lack oleophobic coatings, or have weak ones which wear out very quickly. Also more expensive ones tend to have edges rounded off which is nice for people who don't use a case.

I bought one of their screens for my LGV30+ as its the only one I could find retail that seemed ok. It's terrible, the silicone seal failed after 2 months, screen cracked after 3. They won't honor the lifetime warranty unless I send them 9.99$ on top of the 40$ original price. Hilarious company.

Outer glass is for exactly that, replacing just the surface glass. You have to separate the outer glass and the original, fully-touch-functional, LCD digitizer using a thin wire and 80'C heating source (hotter than that will ruin your LCD) to melt the LOCA (clear optical) glue which cures with UV light source (or out in the sun). It's difficult and time consuming (3-4 hrs labor). The glass is only $10 or so but other equipment is needed as mentioned. There are kits for $25 which includes wire, double-side tape (not as good as LOCA glue due to dust getting in between glass and LCD and not as durable when phone gets hot--glass may raise and separate from LCD, glass may crack easiers).
Full LCD is easier and more durable as you replace the whole thing. Down side is cost ($70-$150 depending on phone model). It only takes about 15' to change out the LCD. It's usually same or even cheaper to buy a used phone than replacing a full LCD. For example you can get a used LG G2 for $50-75 on Ebay and Swappa in good condition.
Remembers replacement parts are NEVER as durable as original screen as they're generic Chinese stuff. Don't think you're getting Gorilla glass for the outer glass. One drop and your replacement screen glass will break. The full LCD replacement usually fail within 1 year due to generic digitizer or recycled digitizer.
If I were you, I'd just buy a good condition used LG G2 and be done with it.

I just replaced mine G2 D802 (from 2013) Lcd, you need to replace the whole thing (screen+lcd)I think, you can buy the Lcd from the Internet. I bought the lcd about $50 and got the shop to replace it for $6. Now my G2 is like new.
