How many here got tempered glass instead of regular screen protector?

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.

Otterbox defender screen protector?

Has anyone found one that works yet ? I hear Whitestone dome is a no go.
Thanks

I'm using a case friendly skinomi HD clear. the matte fits as well but I didn't like it.

I got a zagg one from best buy. Expensive but zero problems since it's been on. The very edges have adhesive that is visible on the curved sides making a slight line. Not a deal breaker but it is there. No halo effect like I had on the note 5 protectors either. Expensive but I'm very happy so far.

Tech armor glass does.

The defender series for the note 8 works with the whitestone dome glass...

The edges don't stay down the best, but it works well with the Otterbox Defender case.

Do you have a picture with the case on? I have the defender also and looking for a tempered glass

The problem you will find with most glass protectors is they typically only have adhesive around the edges. This means there is a gap between the protector and the screen and this decreases sensitivity. I'd look for a new case that works with Dome Glass. Cases are a dime a dozen but glass protectors with full adhesive are very limited. I typically buy UAG cases but only the Monarch UAG works with the Dome Glass. There are 3 YouTube videos that go through compatible cases for Dome Glass.

Otterbox has the Alpha Glass out already.. Was going to get a defender + alpha glass if I didnt already have a UAG plasma

Dont waste your money
ALPHA GLASS FOR NOTE 8 This is the WORST designed screen protector. It causes a major loss in screen sensitivity, to the point of having to tap screen several times, and press down with a good deal of pressure to get the screen to respond. There is a large gap at both top and bottom of screen. Adhesive is CLEARLY visable on all borders of the protector. I am extremely disappointed in the design of this! I have used alpha glass protectors before on my Samsung galaxy s8+ and was looking forward to the release of this one. I will be telling everyone i know to steer clear of this product! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY~ YOU MIGHT AS WELL FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET~ I am a faithful customer of Otterbox, I love their cases, but this screen protector does not live to otterbox brand. I will stay a customer with their cases, but I will NEVER again purchase an alpha glass!

Otterbox defender & whitestone dome match made in heaven
So I just finished installing my whitestone dome glass protector, what a great system, 1st one failed cos of my error but second time worked sweet as. All cured and sitting pretty, absolutely no touch screen lag very responsive and very nice to use, wouldn't even know there was anything on the screen.
My case of choice is the otter box defender, I'm hard on my phones and with the note 8 almost costing a mortgage deposit, I want it well protected. Both the whitestone and the defender case appears to be made for each other, the edge of the protector sits almost flush with the top part of the case = perfect fit. No lifting no nothing. It's amazing to say the least..
The corners are actually protected by the corners of the case and it's like the case holds the glass even more secure, again no lifting or anything.
Hope this helps some of you out. I'm happy to supply pictures if any of you guys need.
Happy protecting everyone..

Could you keep us updated on your experience with this? A lot of other people have concluded that if the case is in contact with the screen protector, it will start lifting at some point.

I was using tempered glass screen guard on my Note 8. However I dropped the phone twice from a height of about 2/2.5 feet and the screen guard cracked. I am now using Samsung original clear view case for Note 8. Should I use glass screen guard with the clear view case?

The screen protector is supposed to crack so your phone screen doesn't. My advise, if you like your note 8 put a screen on it! ?

Cut out your defender inner plastic
I've already wasted one expensive tempered glass (Araree tempered glass made in Korea, $29.99 + $8 international shipping to US).
When I used this expensive protector, there was some portion overlapped with Depender's inner plastic. Actually it made the tempered glass broken in the edge side.
So, what you can do is, using the sharp nife cut out Defender's plastic edge side where it contacts with glass screen protector. If you do this carefully, it won't look ugly. Or you can use the sand paper to remove some edge portion of plastic.
This Araree tempered glass (full cover) works great with Spigen neo hyprid case. No lift nor sensitivity loss.
I also found that Otterbox defender case works with Sammy's faster charger if we put the phone in the exact middle of the charger and with the charger plate is in plat position. But if we try to charge the phone with the charge plate is in vertical position, there was no way to charge the phone...

Wish I could have read this before I tried the UAG Prism case with the Best Buy installed Zagg glass protector. Cracked the upper left edge of the protector. I have an Otterbox Defender on and it's good. Unfortunately, right from the initial screen protector install, there was separation and touch sensitivity issues. Heading to Best Buy to have them put on another screen protector.

What screen protector will work with the otterbox defender for the Note 8?

Can i still use samsungs clear case if i install a tempered glass screen protector?

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.

Does the phone come with a screen protector installed?

I just ordered my ROG Phone 2 from china. Do I need to order a screen protector for it as well?

It did not come with one only a clear case. Order one

The phone has no screen protector, so I bought this on Amazon Prime, it includes both a TPU case and a glass screen protector: https://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Flexible-Protector-Lightweight-Shockproof/dp/B07WFCYXBP/
It ships from US so you get it in a few days. The phone comes with a case but it is hard plastic (acrylic/PET/polycarbonate?) while the Amazon case is rubbery polyurethane that covers more of the phone and has bubbled corners to absorb drops better. The screen protector is the normal glass kind. It doesn't seem to mess up the fingerprint reader much if at all (it reads my fingerprint 90% of the time, otherwise I have to try again). The screen protector has a black border that covers the very edge of the screen which I don't like. Hopefully someone sells all-clear glass protector soon.

Screen Protectors?

With the rounded side edges, this will not be an easy phone to fit screen protectors for. Please post if you find any others.
This is what I have found so far. All ship from China and take 4-6 weeks for delivery.

ZAGG InvisibleShield Ultra VisionGuard+ Screen Protector from Verizon
Great screen protector! Fits perfect with a case and includes a small one for the secondary screen. Easy install. Would def recommend

Whitestone Dome glass
Whitestone has a screen protector for the LG wing have anyone use Whitestone before any good?

I use Mi 10 Pro hydrogel screen protector . Just got a screen protector without the hole for the selfie camera. Cost around $1 per protector.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L78S31X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got this one and fits perfectly and no bubbles after I installed it and left it overnight

Just got these, installed and now I cannot get my fingerprint to register. I deleted it retrained it with the screen protector on and still no luck.

Got these. Typically I steer clear of the screen protector film. I generally always go with the tempered glass screen protector. But since the fingerprint wouldn't work with the tempered glass and tried this film. See link below. Works great feels smooth like glass. Provides better grip also. I put one on the screen as well as on the back of the phone. I can open and close it with one hand now because there's a little extra grip on the screen. Fingerprint also works with these.

THX for the link, just ordered.
I typically don't use screen protectors at all, just the liquid sealers.
I'm actually more interested in using to cover the back of the phone.
Did you cut out a hole for the cameras,& if so, how did you go about doing so?
I plan on using my Spigen case to trace out & cut w/an X-Acto knife.
Considered getting a skin for the Galaxy S20/S20 + (closest I could find, dimension wise), but, it'd still need some alterations, so, I skipped that idea.
If anyone finds a bodyskin for the Wing, please post a link in this thread.

I cut a notch around all three cameras. I figured it would at least protect the back of the phone when I get my case. For now hopefully it'll help it not get scratched
Front screen, bottom screen, and back have the film on them... Liking it.

Has anyone found a tempered glass screen protector that the the finger print sensor works through?

I ordered a Spigen case from Amazon, but decided to upgrade to a better one I found at a T-Mobile store. I have AT&T and it didn't matter at all in regards to the accessories I got today. They also had a screen protector which I purchased as well. It's pricey compared to amazon, it has more support on the sides than the Spigen one does. The screen protector I bought wasn't an Invisishield, it's a Case Mate and it's working very well for me. Just wanted to thrown that out there in case it cam help anyone.

Is the Case-Mate a tempered glass screen protector or a film?
Thanks for sharing

There is a tempered glass screen protector on Amazon. It's made by UniqueMe. Only sticks at the edges, but fits well and wraps around the curved screen. Feels great to the touch. And touchscreen sensitivity works extremely well. Optically, I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
When installing, you need to line it up with the bottom edge of the screen so that there is a gap at the top. This is needed to let the light dimming sensor see out. Also, it is quite fragile. I dropped my phone into a soft bath mat and the screen protector cracked.
Already on my third UniqueMe. Fingerprint sensing works decently. You have to get the hang of it. If possible, definitely re-enroll your finger prints after installing the protector. Works much better that way.

I bought 2 from you. I like the idea but a hard rubber material would be much better than the plastic. Both of mine have broken from 1st drops. They did protect the front screen though.
