best non-glass screen protector?

hey guys. so I had a problem with the Zagg Shield HD...once I got the extended battery and the case for it..it kept lifting up. My wife has her on her phone and it's now got a bunch of marks on it.
So I tried the Spigen glas. protector. looks beautiful but always had sensitivity issues. They sent me a free replacement. still, i'm not enjoying the phone as much and I feel it's down to how I have to press extra hard on the back button and type extra slow...
so, what is the best "old-school" screen protector i can get that won't affect sensitivity but still protects the screen from scratches? I need one that won't go to the edges but also won't just be the screen part...if that makes sense. something like the coverage of the Spigen glas without the sensitivity issues i'm having with the glas.
thanks!

Try the Anzer/Amzer. What ever it is called. I plan on replacing my Spigen Glass screen protector with one of those. I hated my zagg invisible shield HD.

searched Amazon and three versions came up. they all look like they go to the edge of the screen, which is not good with cases on the extended battery. that's why I had to get rid of the Zagg...
any others?

I am just using the one that came with my Diztronic case and I ordered a pack of 3 screen protectors from Amazon for $3.85 (for my wife's GS3). They are all clear, don't mess with the sensitivity, and look great. If I hand my phone to 10 people, 9 of them wouldn't even know that have I have a screen protector on there and the 1 that does know would know because they are looking for it.
I don't know why everyone insists on getting these tempered glass screen protectors or the Zagg-like (rubber feeling) screen protectors that you can't poke a pen or a drill bit through in a YouTube video. All I need is something that will keep my keys from scratching up the screen in my pocket and if it does scratch the screen protector I want to be able to replace it quickly and cheaply. For basically a buck each... You can't go wrong.
I still have the original 'cheap' screen protector on my old Vibrant that my kid is using and it still looks great so I have never needed to change them out. I still have 2 out of the 3 that I bought back when I got that phone so I am ready to go if/when it needs replacing.

Spigen nano clear is good. It came with my case. The edges only go to the edge of the screen so it's good if u have a bulky case. It's also really easy to clean and feels smooth like glass

anyone try the Spigen 4H protector?
the nano and clear are 2H, the glas is 8H, this one is 4H and seems to be more like a film but stronger than the other models.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...axy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html

I'm looking for a good and cheap screen protector too. I prefer the dry application hard plastic ones (4H), I don't like the tempered glass neither the wet application skins.
I have the SGP Ultra Nano Clear and it's good sp but scratched easily. I had the Ultra Crystal, it was better but the fit wasn't right (too big, caused the edges to peel). I think they fixed its size already, not sure.
My ideal sp would be the curved and clear with 4H hardness and fingers print resist at a price of less than $15 (for 2 ps). I found one from korea - SkinPlayer 3D, but it's more expensive than $15 and can't be found outside korea. there's a topic about it -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856079
I think i'll go with the Ultra Crystal again. unless somebody will recommend a cheaper sp with the same or better quality.

sounds like you're describing the one I posted above in terms of look, hardness, price, etc. but now it's just a question of whether it'll peel on the sides or not...

any other suggestions?
I'm really ITCHING to get rid of this Spigen glas thing...I was ready to order the Nano Optics but the reviews are so mixed for those online I don't want to waste my time and money anymore.
why do local stores only carry Zagg?! ahhhh

Go with the just like glass protector by dba. I just put it on and it feels exactly like the glass.

i appreciate your enthusiasm, but there's a few things that concern me. Spigen makes the glas, and both of them have had horrible sensitivity. second, the curvel crystal makes it sound like it goes to the edges of the phone...and that was my problem with the Zagg Shield HD...the cases were lifting the edges badly.
is either of these things happening to you? do you have a picture of how it looks on the phone?

And I appreciate your skepticism but yes it does go around the curved edges and I have a tpu case on mine and its been on a few days and I don't have any issues with it.

I have the spigen curved one also, no issues at all with sensitivity, not sure where you heard that? It feels really good, like no layer at all. I can't tell you whether it will lift up or not with a case, my case is 2 pieces so it never pushes against the edges..

100% full coverage screen protecto

is there such thing aside from the spigen curved one? i heard the spigen ones are garbage. i've used skinomi (they were all right, not as durable), they covered 95% of the screen. the zagg invisible shields were garbage, wasted 25$ and thought it covers the whole screen but it left a huge gap.

Try Tippin Screen protector.

tippin is where its at for full curved protectors.. just remember any case that wraps around the edge tightly is probably not compatible

Does this tippin cover as good if not better than SGP Curved Crystal? The reason I ask is the images on Amazon show that it does not cover the portion immediately above the ear speaker. I love the curved crystal except for the dents that won't disappear. Does the tippin have this problem? Thanks!

the tippin pretty much covers all. ear speaker, sensors+camera, and home button are cut out. if you press on it hard enough with your nail, itll leave a dent. will it go away eventually? dont know, probably not. i think the tippin scratches kind of easily. i noticed a small rainbow line. not sure if its a scratched screen protector or cracked glass. another thing about these screen protectors...you have a small margin for error for placement. i was ocd at first and wanted it on 100% perfect alignment. i tried the tape the side method. thought i had it on perfect, but nope. a small sliver didnt stick because it was on slightly to the left. took the whole thing off and could not put it on as good as before. i spent almost an hr, gave up and ended up with even worse alignment. so my advice is get it aligned the way you want it on the 1st try. since these were a ***** to apply, id like a screen protector thats between full and gapped coverage. but the clarity is good and i think it gets slightly less fingerprints than the naked screen.

The Spigen is good. I would say they are far superior to the Skinomi ones.
I went this route. This is now in my top spot for screen protectors.
http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/2013/03/seidio-vitreo.html

This is what I use. It covers the entire screen and is smooth. It also seems to repel fingerprints and is somewhat scratch resistent. Most people looking at my phone can't even tell there is a screen protector on it.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I really like the Sigen Curved Crystal but am annoyed with the dents. When new, it is barely noticeable at all. I really wish this were available in more durable finish. The Seidio glass screen protector looks really nice but will not work with my case (Element Eclipse)
I am assuming the Realook is almost the exact same as the SGP curved crystal. The cutouts look the same and the hardness rating is the same. Do you notice dents that don't go away? If I were to use my fingernail to type, the screen protector would become pitted all over.

I don't notice any dents, but I use swype as my keyboard of choice. Do you push hard when texting? I let my 4 and 6 year old use my phone often, and I still don't notice much wear. There are a couple of tiny scrathes on my screen protector, and they are only noticeable in direct light at certain angles. I have had the protector on for about 3 months. My old protector (Zagg HD) showed fingernail dents and nicks about a week after I put it on.

the realook 3d forming is essentially the same thin material as the SGP curved crystal. It does dent very easily, but I do find that the dents flatten out and get much better after a day or two. It's not self-healing by any means, but the depth of the dents actually decreases and becomes almost invisible to the eye if the original dent isn't very deep. But I would echo everyone's advice on this thread: these full screen protectors most certainly will not work with almost every tpu case. Any tight fitting case will push up the corners of the protector no matter what you do. I learned the hard way and had to throw out 3 of them. So the cheap ebay s-curve/s-line tpu cases, diztronic, and mercury cases will not work with these protectors unless you get very lucky with your placement. Though I have all these cases and none of them worked with the realook 3d forming screen protector

Thanks Jottle. I was thinking it is probably the same material as the curved crystal. I have found 3 cases that the full coverage works with: UAG, Eclipse Element and SGP Modello. I love the look of the full coverage with these cases but with the dents, I have to replace the protector about once every 2 months.

Just wanted to add that I've now tried the Tippin full coverage screen protectors as well. They are incompatible with my case as well. There are some tpu cases that will work with full coverage protectors. But the extremely tight ones that barely cover the corners will not.

Spigen Nexus 5 Screen Protector GLAS.t SLIM

Has anyone bought this screen protector for the N5? I'm considering it since I want a fingerprint-resistant screen protector, but I don't know whether the cut outs will be faulty as their clear screen protector...
If not any other recommendations for a fingerprint-resistant screen protector for N5?

I'm a huge spigen fan, considering the GLAS.tR SLIM as they say the t non-rounded chips more easily?
Has anyone used these?

There's been high praise for the Spigen glass protectors so I ordered the GLAS.t SLIM. I think the cheaper of the two should provide enough protection as I generally take care of my phones pretty well. The lower profile of the GLAS.t seemed better for me although the rounded corners of the GLAS.tR would have been nice.
I've used cheaper anti-glare film screen protectors in the past, and they worked but didn't last long due to normal wear and tear, so I'm hoping this glass screen protector goes the distance. I hate applying new screen protectors =/
Edit: As for the recommendations, I would NOT advise Clarivue anti-glare. It works well initially but diminishes screen quality and the anti-glare coating wears out quickly in higher-use areas like where the keyboard is. Went through three in the past year.

If you're in Canada, they are now fulfilled by amazon.ca, that means free shipping! http://www.amazon.ca/SPIGEN-Protect...id=1383316041&sr=1-12&keywords=spigen+nexus+5

I'm really interested in getting the glass.t or glass.tr protectors. However, one thing that has always worried me about tempered glass protectors is the possible space between the screen and the protector.
Since glass protectors are not flexible, but the protector and actual screen must be perfectly flat or there will be bubbles due to points of non-contact between the two. Does anyone have experience applying one, and do they fit well together or are there problems?
EDIT: Also, would these protectors work with the Spigen cases or would the extra thickness cause a problem?

Anyone got theirs yet? I'm thinking of getting the GLAS.t Slim since I'd prefer the thinner one.
I'm wondering if the upper lip on the Spigen cases will actually cover the edges of the protector or if there will be a gap. Since I'm planning to use it in combination with a case, if the case covers the edges of the protector I can't see any advantage of the GLAS.tR Slim.
I've also read some other glass protectors have a grid of dots on them. I think this would really annoy me. Do the Spigen protectors have this?
Do they affect viewing angles at all?
Finally, is a cracked or shatter glass protector likely to scratch up the screen? They are of similar hardness...
Thanks.

I turst Spigen
I have not tried the tempered glass on Nexus 5, but I would trust Spigen products all time, they are getting very positive review on Amazon as well, so I would say go for it and I believe they have the money back guarantee, so why to worry

I have the Sir Lancelot Armor-Holy Grail for my N4. I have tried them all. First off stay away from Clarivue and Maru, both are just not good.
Haven't tried any others since SLA and ILoome(which have GREAT customer service!) on my N4, so I hope the Spigen can play well with the hybrid case!

The Spigen site recommends using a case along with their GLAS products, so I'm going to assume they fit cases (or at least Spigen cases) just fine.

I remember using a SGP screen protector three years ago. I had tried two. The adhesive was bad and it curled off my phone.

I've heard this from some people as well. I personally will keep my phone without a case or a bumper at the most, so I can't speak from experience. If it's a wet application screen protector, it's probably much more likely that it will curl off since those tend to extend to the edges of the screen.
Here's what is on the Spigen site:
As this is a glass product, please note that the edges of the glass are the most vulnerable areas. We highly recommend that you use a case along with your GLAS.t SLIM to avoid chipping or cracking the edges of your GLAS.t SLIM

I believe the point of the tR is precisely to be used without a case (the tR product page doesn't have the paragraph about using it with a case to protect the edges). So if you're going to use a case, get the t, if not you should get the tR.

I used the glas TR with my work iphone, and they're fantastic. Very durable and they almost feel better than the naked screen. I have one on order for the N5, but not sure if ill put it on right away. You can't go wrong with one of these though, well worth the money if you are looking for long lasting screen protection.

From Spigen's website:
GLAS.T - Our first and original GLAS.t screen protector. Made of real tempered glass and premium silicone adhesive. It is about 0.4mm thick.
GLAS.tR - The "R" stands for rounded. This glass protector has beveled edges to to help prevent chipping on the edges of the glass. Recommended for users that are not using a case or a minimal case design. About 0.55mm thick.
GLAS.T Slim - We've made our popular GLAS.t even slimmer. Same concept and material as our GLAS.t, but it ranges from 0.23-0.26mm depending on the product.
GLAS.tR Slim - Also the rounded version of the GLAS.t Slim. The thickness is about 0.4mm

I'm having some trouble with the GLAS.tR. I just installed it, and the bottom left corner is not sticking, and there is a spot that's not sticking on the right side of the headset speaker. I'm trying to leave some weight on top of it and see if that will fix it.

same here! I have three rather large "bubbles" (though thankfully none are on the screen), one of which is in the bottom left corner. When I apply pressure, it reduces to a tiny bubble, but after about a minute, it will have expanded again. I tried putting a textbook on top overnight, but this morning when i lifted the book, it just grew back in a minute.
If it doesn't fix itself in another 24 hour, I'm going to call Spigen.

Matte Screen Protectectors?

There are so many choices for screen protectors on Amazon. I am looking to get one that is anti-glare, easy to apply, that doesn't bubble. I am ordering the Spigen Slim Armor case at the same time. If there is not a good matte finish protector, and they all reduce the display quality, please recommend me a good clear one. So what have you had luck with? Thanks in advance.
-Jeremy

I had a anti-glare screen protector from Clarivue on my N4 and I can tell you it's not worth it. After a month or so, the coating on the surface of the screen protector wears off in higher use areas (like where the on-screen keyboard is). It feels alright up to that point, but I think it's fairly impossible for an anti-glare screen protector to NOT reduce display quality.
For an alternative clear screen ptorector, I've heard the Steinheil screen protectors from Spigen are fairly good in terms of clarity and feel. Just be aware of film sp's that have the dreaded orange peel effect. And obviously most will be fingerprint magnets.
Other alternatives are tempered glass screen protectors, and you can find some for the same price as higher quality film sp's (although most are going to be a bit more expensive than your standard screen protector). As mentioned by many people in other threads about glass sp's, they do have a tendency to bubble, chip and/or crack, but since you're ordering a case with yours I think you should be in good shape. Glass sp's will usually have an oleophobic coating on them that will be more resistant to fingerprints while still maintaining clarity and feel. Check out my thread and the first post has a list of the common tempered glass screen protectors.

They all reduce the screen quality, that's just the nature of them.
I have the citigeeks matte and am pretty happy. The feel is much better than the other ones that I have tried for my other devices, less "grippy" and smoother.
I have it in the slim armor with no problems from the case.

I've got Tech Armor matte finish protectors on my N7 2012 and my N5. The loss in display quality is negligible to me; just doesn't affect me that much. They only bubble if you manage to get some dust stuck under them in the application process, and the feel is very, very smooth. I liken it to touching the screen of a Kindle e-reader's e-ink display.

+1,000,000. i've tried a few different ones, Anker is the best texture and screen quality of them all.

I have come up with a pretty good way of applying a screen protector. Place it on the phone and tape it on one side as if you were making a book. Line it up perfect before setting the tape. Flip it open, make sure the screen is clean, couple wipes and blows. Then peel of the backing and flip on the protector. Do it fast and get the bubbles out. If you for some reason have lint, peel it back and use tape to get it out.

Maybe I didn't invent it. Haha. Such an obvious thing too.

+1 on the Anker. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the 2 Steinheils, 1 Zagg, 1 Skinomi, and the protector that I got from Spigen for a messed up Slim Armor TPU.

Nilki for the win.
Ended up going with the Nilkin, and so far am loving it. Great product, but horrible installation instructions translation for the English instructions. I just watch a few Youtube videos on the installation process before tackling it. Came out pretty good. Had a few of the spiderwebs at the top edge and bottom edge of the screen. Have some microfibers & medium binder clips on it now while I'm working trying to get those squared away. This protector pairs nicely with the Spigen SlimArmor case I got.

I am very happy with my BestSkinsEver matte skin on my N5. It works very nicely with my Spigen SlimArmor case. Installation was pretty easy. I ended up with one bubble at the very edge, near the bottom, but that was my fault. It's not bad enough to bother reinstalling.

Film Screen Protector for HTC 10

What are good film screen protectors for our device? With full coverage and proper cutouts. Clear and not soft.
Looks like there won't be any decent tempered glass option, so I'm starting this thread.

This is what I use, and I am happy with it.
I did figure out that it was polarized the other day when using my 10 for navigation in my car. I could not see it in portrait with my sunglasses on. I had to either turn my head or rotate to landscape to be able to see the phone display.
EDIT: The screen is polarized *Not* the screen protector

Spigen crystal is pretty good. I tried a couple of TGSP's and they sucked really bad so I turned to the PET film from Spigen. It's really thin, clear, and precisely cut. It could be a tiny bit wider, but it does cover the viewable area. It feels pretty decent for a film (not a lot of friction) and you can barely tell it's there. $7.99 for a 3-pack on Amazon.

I second the Spigen Crystal Film screen protector. I've been using it and it's done a decent job so far. Not as nice as a TGSP would be in regards to feel but decent smudge/fingerprint resistance.

Post some pictures of your phone with the Spigen film?

This is the first picture I've seen regarding the fit of this screen pro. Cheers!

I'm using the Spigen crystal too; unless the light is just right, it's hard to see it at all.
The surface is less 'slippy' to the finger than the glass, but having used a similar protector (not Spigen) on my old phone, I find it familiar.

Definitely a much better fit than any of the tempered glass protectors.
However, I've noticed that it's much thinner/flimsier than the older Spigen Crystal PET protectors.
I split a 3-pack with two buddies of mine with the HTC 10, but unfortunately I think mine warped slightly during install:

Sent an e-mail through asking for a warranty replacement - we'll see if they are willing to replace it.
Other than that warp bubble, I'm pretty happy with it overall. Not as slick as glass, but does the job.

I posted some a while ago at people's request in my case OP. That's probably why you didn't see them, but the Spigen Crystal fits perfectly and works well. Ive been using one on my 10 since I got it

I found your post! I love your reviews, keep em coming !

I have the spigen based on comments here and I don't like it. The adhesion is poor and I already had to replace my initial protector after a week, not to mention its a little tacky and not smooth, and looks wavy and uneven under light. As far as dimensions are concerned its good, I just wish it lasted longer than a week.

Another vote for the spigen. Applied properly, mine has no bubbles and is not wavy. Also, the comments about it being too small are incorrect. It is sized perfectly for the flat part of the screen. At the edges on all sides the glass on the 10 is beveled. If the screen protector went to the edges there would be bubbles or the protector would peel off.

I just placed an order for the zagg film.
Ill report back when i receive it

Just received in the mail the spigen crystal screen protector, and incipio NGP case. Both fit perfectly! The screen pro fit as close to the edge as possible, and no issues with edge lifting while putting the case on the phone! After installing the screen pro there are very small little waves which I've seen on other screen protectors, which disappear within a day or two..
Prior to this film protector I tried the nillkin glass and was a horrible fit. (I did receive a refund for it however..)
I am now content with case and screen protector!
Cheers,

I installed Spigen crystal film, it could be 2mm each side wider but I dont mind. Its not bad.

This is what I use, and I am happy with it.
I did figure out that it was polarized the other day when using my 10 for navigation in my car. I could not see it in portrait with my sunglasses on. I had to either turn my head or rotate to landscape to be able to see the phone display.

I don't know if you figured this out yet, but it is your screen that is polarized, not the film protector you applied.
For some reason, the Tianma display panels are polarized. Probably for enhanced viewing in sunlight, is my guess.
