Hey y'all
i have an at&t Samsung Captivate,
its really a great phone,i also use an Samsung Wave which has the same
Spec and the same glass.
i have the Captivate for 2 days and allready have scratches,really tiny one's.
i used the Samsung Wave for 6 month's and dont have 1 scratch at all!
how can it be?? the same glass (the Wave's glass feel's much more thicker then the Captivate's glass)
buy a cheap screen protector on ebay if you do care ...
I don't think that anyone said it was 'unscratchable'. If they did, they don't know what they were talking about, I mean Corning doesn't even claim that:
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/characteristics
It is more resistant to large scratches and pitting because it's produced more like a ceramic composite than soda glass.
Little scratches won't impact functionality, but I'm surprised people don't use cases and screen protectors these days. I have a full body ZAGG AND an Otterbox Commuter on mine. I find even the silicone cases can rub the finish off of phones a little bit.
The thickness of the glass won't affect how well it resists scratching. It should help prevent it from cracking though.

I beat the living crap out of my phone when its in my pocket (change, keys, etc..) and my screen is fine. You putting it in your pocket with sand paper or something?
And I agree this thing is a bit slippery if it doesn't have a case on it.. but the one I had was too bulky.
I don't have a screen protector, I don't have a case. Had a screen protector, it was alright, but I removed it; prefer the feel of the naked glass. I would not even consider destroying the sleekness of my phone by putting it in some gross case.
I have a pocket that's dedicated to my phone. I don't drop it. I clean the screen with a fog of breath on the left shoulder of whatever sweatshirt I'm wearing. It has no scratches and is pure as hell.
My general theory is that if you don't want to treat your phone well and want it jangling around in backpacks, laptop cases and/or and pockets full of junk, by all means cover it up. Otherwise, treat it well and you won't have to worry.
just orderd ZAGG screen protector (10$) and Otterbox (13$) for the Captivate via Ebay
hope it works...

nothing...just sitting in my pocket without any sharp thingys :\
I have had 2 captivates. One with a full Zagg which covers every inch of the phone with clear plastic of some kind, and just the screen protector on the other.
I have ORD (Obsessive Romming Disease and can be found on this site if you need to admit your disorder, lmao) and the full skin started peeling off because I was taking it out of my case so much. The screen protector itself is not completely smooth or very slick, but it seems that small scratches seem to repair themselves. I am a pipefitter so that should tell you how rough I am on phones hanging on my pocket everyday. weld splatter, dust, dirt, scrapes, rolled over on, so it must be a tough phone. I had to replace the other one because of the random shutdown issue of Captivates made before November.
My Captivate is so fast I need a seatbelt!!!

Ok I have purchased hohoo 9H Tempered Glass Screen Guard and 2 Diztronic Cases (Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case and Diztronic High Gloss Clear (Frosted Matte Inside) Flexible TPU Case)
First, the Hohoo Screen Protector...I had little trouble putting it on cause the Hohoo Screen Protector width size was exactly the size of the screen...so I spent a lot of time aligning it perfectly...but after I put it on the screen response with the protector on was good and the screen looked exactly the same as the screen without any protection. Just one thing that is bothering me is that on the top of the protector It doesnt stick well so it makes air gaps...If the air gaps were not big i will not care that much but right now it is coming down all the way to my front facing camera. when I press down on the gaps it decrease and as times goes by the gap gets bigger... I have contacted the seller and see if this is a defected product or not...so I will know pretty soon if i need to live with this or not. But in overall performance of this screen protector is really good in my opinion.
Second, the Diztronic Cases...With Hohoo Screen Protector the case fits really nicely. Its really slim case with good grip on the back. The matted black one was little bit more slippery feeling than the clear case. But the Matted black looks better than the clear one in my opinion.
All the cut out holes were perfectly aligned. This case will protect against everyday use scratches but if you drop the phone i dont think this case will protect it from saving your phone. Overall, if you want a slim case that doesnt any much bulk and protects every corner of your phone get it...if you think you will drop the phone get more bulkier case like otterbox or incipio dualpro.
I have order another Tempered glass protector called "SNP Glass Premium Tempered Glass"...It should be arriving soon so I have to see if that is better than Hohoo protector.
I have put links to the products that I have bought and some pictures.

the diztronic matte case looks really nice, probably gonna get that. Wish it didn't have the logo there but otherwise it is exactly what I want in a case for my G2. Had the Diztronic case for my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and it didn't have any logos, was hoping the logo was only there as a watermark in the Amazon photos but oh well, still want it.

It is a really good case compare to the options that there is for the verizon version. I really dont see any other that is slim as this case with decent protection. In my opinion...the logo looks not to bad....I thought about getting the poetic palette case...but it doesnt protect the bottom and the top so i skipped on that one.

I would like to know which glass screen protector is better. Please let us know. Thanks
Are you leaving the blue protector on the camera ring intentionally?
Is the Hohoo screen protector really tempered glass?
From here it lists it as PMMA.
http://www.amazon.com/Enhanced-Optical-Bulletproof-Protector-Optimus/dp/B00G46WQRE
PMMA is plexiglass.

No. I dont think it is glass...cause I think they are made by using PMMA. Its basically acrylic.
and it doesnt quite feel like glass, but close though. I might be wrong but i think this is a film that has 9h hardness made with PMMA, but with all the characteristic as the tempered glass. Im using it so far and had really no problem on the sensitivity or visual. The screen protector doesnt get scratches and it feel so much better than the cheap screen protector films.
One problem for me is that my screen protector's top part of the film was keep having gaps...so I emailed the seller...and they told me they are going to ship me a new one. In my opinion if you want to get a characteristic as tempered glass protector with less money go for this screen protector. If you want the real tempered glass screen protector then this is not for you.
I still havent received the other tempered glass protector...so until that comes im going to leave this protector on.

I left mine on. I have a Incipio Blue Feather case, and it kinda matches. It also protects.
I even have the plastic stickers still on over my back buttons. They never came off and don't interfere. so why not?
I'm getting interested in some glass SP. I have a cheap Verizon one on there now and its ok. I've seen the ones with the colored (white/black) edges that cover up the logos, which looks REALLY good. Basically looks like a whole new bevel. Have you tried those?
I'm currently looking for some comparisons. I know our screens are hard because of the tapered edges.

Ok the ones with the colored edges tempered glass protector...Well I had that kind of screen protector for my verizon galaxy nexus. The makers were from xgear...and I really didnt like it since it cracked so easily after little bump to the edge of the screen protector...so if you are thinking of buying xgear's tempered glass...i really dont recommend it. (http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/fantom) <-- This is what I have bought...They claim it is 8H harden protector...but in my case it was really looked really weak tempered glass. It covered the whole surface of the phone but it crack easily. I had two of the same tempered glass (one black and one white) and both crack easily.
I saw this --> (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LG-G2-T...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item4aca615c3b) on ebay...and was going to try it out if neither of the two tempered glass protector didnt work out for me. But only one came but it didnt fail me yet so no need to buy it right now.
But you have to think though if the screen protector is covering the whole screen you have to get a case that doesnt interfere with the screen protector. So back when I was using verizon galaxy nexus, I used cases like the poetic palette case, which has really minimum protector for the phone.
In my opinion...I really dont recommend xgears tempered glass protectors...I think they are really weak made...I personally recommend the Korean brands...or if spigen's tempered glass protectors if they make it.
Hi People !
I bought a great screen protector for my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. The link is here:
http://www.cellbeeusa.com/shop/sams...d-glass-0-3mm-thickness-2-5d-curved-edge.html
It's a tempered glass for the Edge and it is awesome.. Cellbee's tempered glass fits from edge to edge - which completely covers the phone. After a few days of testing it... the screen protector doesn't detach itself or comes off from the edges as most claim that their screen protectors after a few days come off around the edges. Now, I didn't drop test it and probably will not unless it happens accidentally, but from the material it really feels solid. Most people that also have this ( my friends ) claim that they are satisfied. If you are looking for a great tempered glass solution then go with CellBee... you will definitely be happy. Note: ITS NOT A GLASS, but very shock absorbent material
Here is the youtube video for installation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kazGyM3SLEA
Just my 2 cents
So they advertise it as glass but it isn't actually glass...
Confusing stuff!

It's not glass... it has a 9H+ hardness as glass but its made out of absorbent materials which protect your screen. Now, as I said, I am not willing to drop my phone to test it out.. but it is a soft material, but much thicker than PET films and really feels good in the hand. I am just stating my opinion on what I feel, and how it looks. If I do drop my phone accidentally than yea, I will report back here. I am waiting for a tempered glass solution but my friend google told me that it will be a long time before they come up with a tempered glass for the edge. The Note 4 Edge still doesn't have a tempered glass. So... better this than nothing. Of course there are other brands like Spigen, Verdus, etc.. but read bad reviews about it... the other good reviews are from Skinomi... which people like.. but I'll stick with this.
That was one of the crappies screen protectors I ever used. Stop using the term tempered glass to describe it.
There's already a thread with this. Apparent it's bad, chips/scratches easily even with your fingernail, not to mention it's not tempered glass.
False advertising and a bad screen protector.

Why is it crappy in your opinion ? Tempered glass - no... its not tempered glass.. but it has the hardness of a tempered glass 9H+. For me, I am using it mostly have my keys that are in my pocket with my Sammie and no scratches at all.

Please do not make claims like this when you have no method to verify. It has been tested and failed miserably.

Interesting. Paid advertising? First it is tempered glass, but suddenly it isn't.
I've had this screen protector for since they started shipping in April. Currently looking to replace it. It is getting what I would call a little foggy and gets marks in it. The film seems soft under pressure. You can put a mark in it with your finger nail if you wanted.
At least on mine.
I'm not a fan.
I very well could be incorrect, but from what I understand, the tempered glass screen protectors are not able to produce a good product for this phone-- because each s6 edge is SLIGHTLY unique. With some of the plastic ones, there's some maneuverability, but not with glass.
Soft material? Is it also TPU? After trying some TPU's protectors, no good, too ruggy... no good on finger touching
Just found one with hard PET, anyone tried this item? Pls advise!

I've been thinking of getting something to protect my precious and the original plastic one has lots of scratches on it.
so Tempered glass or Hydrogel film?
I've been doing research on this question too. It's like a mixed reviews. But a commonly seen answer is that they regret getting the hydro gel version and stick to the conventional tempered glass as some buyers indicated after a few days, the edge came off peeling and trapping dust while some others has high static attracting dust and easily scratch.
I usually prefer Tempered glass.
Always glass, clarity and feel always superior to film.
A good brand would be Nillkin - I buy this off Ali express. The oleophobic coating is great and you can actually feel the smoothness difference vs a $2 cheapo glass protector.
http://s.aliexpress.com/rQje6z6R
I have bought it for multiple previous devices and am waiting for my Mate 10 glass delivery.
It is fragile though, have to be careful not to place it on the table face down with any sand or grit, it can scratch. Usually I have a case with a bit of a lip to protect it.
Obviously it can crack if you drop it also.

Anyone found a tempered glass protector that actually does not lift on the sides? Such a pity if one uses a glass that doesn't cover the whole display.. =(
Changed mine over to 9h yesterday. Just feels so much better than the plastic film.

What brand did you get and does it cover the whole screen?
Ozero 2 pack from Amazon. Not a bad glass. No rainbow on the screen just a little thick. Like someone else said it makes you feel like your pressing into a hole with the thicker glass. They should taper the protector around the navigation button to make it feel better. Yeah covers all the screen. Except the bottom of the navigation button.

Hi !
I agree with you. I've talked to the seller and the their Mate 10 Pro Amazing H+ should go on sale. I'm gonna get one.
My Mate 10 Pro hasn't arrived yet, I'm getting Moka brown color ^^ but for sure Nillkin is good

Already got mine more than a week ago. Bought off aliexpress.
Unfortunately this time the glass is ever so slightly less than the full width of the phone - my P9 Plus Nillkin glass was edge to edge of the screen. About 0.5mm less than each side of the screen. I suspect this is because the no side bezels makes it hard to extend the glass all the way to the sides otherwise it might be non compatible with cases.
Not too irritating but definitely noticeable. Small halo effect as usual.
But overall the smoothness and the oleophobic coating definitely trumps the factory plastic protector. Still worth the buy.

Today i tried KONIX glass protector, (i guess this is just a generic glass, packed into some brand - just like many of screen protector in the market)
Just like any other 2.5D glass protector, it wont be able to cover the screen edge
But it still fit quite well, and the touch response is unaffected, or even better than on plastic (included) one
Glass cut is nicely rounded without sharp edge though, so i think this one is well manufactured
Here's some pics

Thanks... Wanted to see the one that @Cccmachins has because I ended up ordering the same Ozero TP... Guess I'll have to wait till I get it to see and decide if that works or if I need to keep looking.
The ozero just has a black frame around it so it just hides the edges of the screen completely, so you are actually losing a tad bit of screen real estate. I also bought one on Amazon that does not have the frame like the ozero and the entire edge is lifted up all the way around my screen. I think I'd prefer the plastic ones and just replace them from time to time...

That sucks... The tempered glass screen protector manufacturers seem to have a hard time making them fit perfectly on these curve edge phones... It's either to small or not sticking on the edges...

Even the stock screen protector doesnt fully cover the edges. Is the nillkin tg the same or worse than the original SP in covering the side? Do you think the UAG plasma case is compatible with the nillkin tg?
i prefer this protector 9h tempered glass, it cover all the front, very clear also in sunlight, anti fingerprint. i buy it from local market, very satisfied

Hello friend, as a seller, we have talked to countless manufacturers to find the perfect screen protectors for our clients. As now phones screen bigger and bigger, resolution values are higher also. It is so necessary to get a high quality screen protector to protect the high valued smart phones. And the meanwhile, the screen protector cannot affect the touch sensitivity of phone screen , cannot decrease the brightness of the phone screen. So really it is not an easy solution.
Anyhow, we used to struggle which one is better? Tempered glass or hydrogel screen protector? Tempered glass is more thickness to 0.33mm, while hydrogel usually under 0.2mm, tempered glass cannot be full screen protector, while hydrogel can be full screen protector. Which is such a pity tempered glass cannot be full screen. Still except this flaw, other aspects is much much better than hydrogel protector. So we stick to tempered glass screen protector for Huawei Mate 10.
Here is what we prepare for our clients.
Flos®Huawei Mate 10 Transparent Full Protection Tempered Glass Screen Protector HD Anti-Scratch-[2 Pcs]
And we offer express shipping to Europe/USA within 1 week at 2usd shipping fees.
Also we are on Amazon for Europe.

You know,
Sometimes its hard to trust a manufacturer, who despite promise the fine quality of their product, yet still manage to slip a typo on their commercial material,
Your images misspelled "tempered" as "temepred" and it doesn't sound convincing at all for me :silly:
Hey guys,
I just got my Mate 10 pro. For safety reasons, I bought UAG cover for the phone. However, I am curious, if I really need a screen protector. I don't work at rough places, but I just don't want any scratch on the screen. What do you guys think?
Yes u need. The screen gets very easy small scratches from being in your pockets.

Thanks! I am confused between Spigen nano and glass protector.
YES!
A tiny bit of sand can scratch Gorilla Glass. And that's just one thing. There is nothing worse than a scratched screen - it ruins the experience (for me) for years, as long as you have the device. With a protector (either "hydrogel" or "tempered glass"), you just replace it and call it a day. Let alone drops by the way. One drop on an uneven surface and even in a case, it will break.
You can pick two kinds.
GLASS.
- Nilkin: Does not extend to full side, but since it's 0.3mm thicc (or so), it will still protect the screen from everything. Good experience from people, I also bought one, it's ok.
DO NOT BUY eBay screen protectors. They extend full, and look nice. BUT, thanks to the design of our device, they kinda lift off around the edges, and require you to hard press to get your fingers/taps registered. It's a pain. It's annoying too.
Hydrogel.
It's kind of a plastic layer kind of thing, but can be stretched, squeezed to fit all along the edges. This gives a better look (cannot even see it). Feel wise I believe it's nice, not too bad. Only bad thing about it is that it's well, not glass. So if you drop the phone on a sharp edge, it might just transfer the force and break the screen/digitizer.
Keep in mind, CASE MATTERS A LOT. A good case will reduce drops by.. I don't know.. 99%?
Seriously, without a case the phone is a soapbar. And in a bad case too, there is barely any grip. Get a good one and you are set for life.

That was a detailed response. Thank you!
What is your opinion on Spigen Nano Liquid?
I have not tried it... yet. In my opinion, it's just an extra layer. But no protection.
This review(er) makes sense: https://youtu.be/ZeHeHLjCAQE?t=148
You add a new layer, that gets scratched... and is attached to the screen. LOL. I guess it would have been better if Spigen had a remover.
Is it useless? No! I think the Liquid Glass is perfect for phones like Huawei P20 Pro, where Huawei went ultra cheap, and just used a crappy screen protection. I would still add a glass on top (because that's the only thing protecting from impacts, etc), but hey, if anything were to happen, it would provide better protection. But, our Mate 10? It has Gorilla Glass 3. (which is more resistant than Glass 5.)
The Hydrogel thing is like a bit flexible plastic. Kinda rubbery. So I suspect that also takes off a bit of force if my phone's screen were to hit something.
But, tempered glass all the way. If you cannot find one that covers just right, works just good, then just go hydrogel IMO.

I have not tried it... yet. In my opinion, it's just an extra layer. But no protection.
This review(er) makes sense: https://youtu.be/ZeHeHLjCAQE?t=148

I tried some Glas protectors they were all trash dur to the rounded edges and most sont work with cases. i have used normal plastic like in the old days and i am very happy. They scratch kinda easy but i paid like 4 bucks for 5 protectors.
I will ask Huawei on Live chat. Let see what they recommend.
Thanks!
This is the screen protector recommended to me by Huawei representative while having a live chat.

Well, finally I tried the Nilkin glass protector. I would rate it 3/5.
- Feels great.
- Good, but average package. I mean what do we expect anyway?
- No edge-to-edge coverage, as I said that would be hard to pull, so there is a gap on each side.
- I have a visible halo on edge.
Overall? I would go hydrogel. Seriously.
- Buy 2-3 pieces to start with. Chances are good it will feel weird at first. You could experiment with the cheapest ebay ones, they feel the same. Basically you apply, and you can squeeze out all the bubbles, dirt, and also stretch it to all the corners. It gives a 100% cover.
- It can be scratched, it's faaar from the 9H hardness of tempered glass. But who cares? Rip it off, put a new one on it. Boom. I have used mine for about 3 months and only now I had a large scratch/damage on the top-right of the hydrogel thing. That's it.
Case wise I bought so many... but my favorite is the noname, ebay case called iPaky. It has a full transparent back, yet, has a very good hold to it. Not too bulky, not too heavy. It's seriously a superb case IMO. I tried many, this one is my favorite. Especially because it shows off the purple/golden/whatever color of the phone, which I like, as this is the first non-pitch-black phone I own.
You can just search "ipaky mate 10 pro" on ebay. Or "mate 10" whichever you have.

Hey guys,
I just got my Mate 10 pro. For safety reasons, I bought UAG cover for the phone. However, I am curious, if I really need a screen protector. I don't work at rough places, but I just don't want any scratch on the screen. What do you guys think?

I really wish they make the next gen Mate with a perfectly flat screen with at least 2mm after the screen end still flat so you can really put a full screen glass/film protector with no issues.
Currently I'm using my mate 10 with no screen protector at all because I hate them on not completely covering screen on its width.
My 1st phone in years without a screen protector.
When I get the 1st scratch on my Mate 10 screen, I'll put a protector. 0 scratches so far, and it is all about luck (a single grain of sand can ruin it all).

Thank you! I just ordered SaharaCase tempered glass for mate 10 pro. I will post the reviews here too. Although I was recommended for IQ Shield by Huawei, but I didn't like it.
