cheap ebay screen protectors I found and purchased

Last week I found some screen protectors on ebay for the nexus that I thought I'd give a try. The deal was 10 for 6 dollars which is a pretty sweet deal I figured even if the plastic was somewhat cheap.
Well they came today, and I didnt apply any yet but they had the double sided stickers (like how SGP does their skins) and so I peeled back the front sticker and felt the plastic and it felt pretty thick, much like the the quality of SGP. Also, I noticed that they have an actual cut out around the camera which I thought was nice since it could be used as another reference point when applying the skin. And, on top of that the screen goes the whole side of the screen with no lip on the sides.
Here is the link if anybody is interested, I should be applying it later and supplying pics of it once I do.

It's nice to see that they ship from Canada. I just ordered Clairvue protectors, but I've heard of several people using these "cheap" eBay protectors with much success.

No bubbles from it reaching the edge of the screen? I don't think I've heard of a dry application screen protector that actually reaches the edges of the screen without bubbling up or peeling near the edge do the curvature of the screen...

So after applying the skin this was how it turned out

I see what you mean by the peeling cause of the curvature and the shorter screens would pretty much stop where the peeling is actually happening lol, but I still like that is at the ends only to be honest, but it doesnt bother me so much. The pics make the peeling look a lot worse than it actually is I think.

Is the difference that bad? I really want an antiglare film for the Nexus... I actually really like matte screen protectors, especially after putting on so many matte power support protectors on iPhones.
I'm currently staring at my MB Air that has a glossy display with an antiglare matte screen protector I had put on perfectly

I just realized this is a super old thread but I'll post anyway.
(assuming you still use these screen protectors), does the matte one affect the colour at all? I used to have one on my Atrix, and it kind of dulled the colours and made whites a little rainbowy. But maybe I just chose the wrong manufacturer of $1 Hong Kong matte screen protectors

Yes it does, I had a Matte one, and within a minute, took it off. It looks absolutely terrible, worse than having an orange peel effect from wet apply screen protectors.

Looks like this protector comes up easily... I had a Skinomi (similar to Zagg) on my GNex. Only had 2 spot where my Driztronic case rubbed the protector causing it to come up. I'd love to keep the phone naked, but too worried if I ever dropped it on say... concrete.

I bought 3 clear protectors from the seller called wireless_toy_world and this is how it looks like under florescent light:
The top doesnt stick well and it is short at the bottom. I will try another seller and report back.
Let me know if you find a cheap and good one..

Why does everyones cheap screen protectors look awful... :S Mine doesn't have any of those strange bubbles apart from the lower left part where its too far to the right of the screen. Look

Is it a pack of 10 protectors? Or is the name 10x?

I use ZAGG invisible shield. I don't recommend using cheap screen protectors as they spoil the screen and leave marks if removed

What? No, they don't. The cheap protectors (Usually dry applications) don't have any liquid or residue to use thus no ruining the screen. It's akin to static cling for some of these cheap protectors.

thanks for sharing,looks good

[Review] Moshi iVisor AG screen protector

http://www.moshimonde.com/product/ivisor-ag-for-galaxy-siii.aspx
Packaging:
Minimalist cardboard packaging printed with Soy ink (as stated on the package). Very easy to open with the pull tab on the back. Inside is a cardboard flap that protects the screen protector and included cleaning cloth. As for that cloth...what a joke! It's a nice material but it's roughly the size of 50 cent piece or silver dollar. It's so small it's tough to keep two fingers on it without letting them touch the screen as you're trying to clean it. Once I seen that cleaning cloth I though "oh boy, what did I get myself in to?"
Installation:
Before proceeding with the install I did a dry fit to see how it lines up to get an idea of how it was going to fit. It covers the whole face of the phone all the way to the edge. The cut outs are precise and form fitting and there are two "cutouts" for the capacitive buttons as well. The fact that this protector is able to be removed and replaced at will, guarantees a bubble free installation, took alot of the stress out of the procedure. You don't have to worry about how or where you hold it for fear of getting finger prints on the backside of it since it's the same color as the phone except for where it covers the screen. Simply peel off the protective sheet, line it up at the top with the protector slightly bent in the middle so once it's lined up you can roll it down into place. Once it's in place, use the cleaning cloth to rub all around the colored portion to ensure a good adhesion.
Final Thoughts:
It looks like you don't have a screen protector on it at first glance. If you have a white phone you're well aware of the light bleed around the capacitive buttons, this fixes that. Install took all of 20 seconds and resulted in no dust or bubbles under it. The reason it guarantees no bubbles is because there is no adhesive or other adhering properties on the area that covers the screen. The "adhesive" is only on the colored area. The protector adheres nicely to the phone including the beveled areas of the screen but beware when using this with a case. I have an Incipio Silicrylic Dual Pro and because the silicone sleeve barely wraps around the edge of the face of the phone, when you press the volume or lock button it pushes the sleeve against he side of the protector and lifts it I have a Fosmon S style TPU case and checked it out to see how far it's edges wrap around the face of the phone and it looked like it wrapped over it more, but because it's such a tight fit I decided to remove the back cover of the phone before installing it and that worked out perfectly! The phone is nice and snug and it doesn't cause the protector to lift when pressing the buttons since it actually overlaps the protector instead of butting up against it's side.
As for clarity....well, this is an AG protector which stands for anti-glare so i'm sure you all know what that means. The standard grainy effect is there, although it's not as bad as most, and does take away some of the clarity of the screen. It's mostly noticeable on light backgrounds but if you're looking at it close enough you can see it no matter what. One thing that worried me is that there would be an obvious sign that the protector is not adhered to the screen itself...there's not. The protector is nice and smooth to swipe across and even the "openings" over the capacitive buttons are smooth, that's because they aren't actually openings it's just that they aren't colored.
Overall the product is good but it degrades the display quality and limits the cases you can use with it. But it also covers the whole screen, is washable and reuseable, eliminates the light bleed around the capacitive buttons, significantly reduces glare and fingerprints, ensures no bubbles and makes installation a breeze. Only 2 negatives, but they are big deals to alot of us so weight the pros and cons before you go give up your $25 for it

thanks for the great review.

My last hope for this protector is that it plays nicely with the Seidio Surface Garnet Red case I just ordered for it

Good review but I returned mine. I wasn't as good as I hoped for personally. I used it for a good week and a half.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it plays nicely with the new case cause like you I really like this thing...the degredation is there but it's not so significant that I couldn't deal with it given all the other benefits of it.
Thanks guys for the kind words on the review, I try to be as thorough as possible to help those on the fence try to make their decision.

WTF are they thinking not making a clear one? Such potential!!
Hopefully the X gear one has beveled edges.

It doesn't fit with the seidio case. I have the surface case in black. When you slip the case on with the protector on, it squeezes the edges of the screen protector together causing one edge to lift making a slight bubble. I couldn't stand the anti glare so I ended up returning the screen protector. Made the screen look blurry. The screen looks 10x better without it. Also wasn't worth $25 to me. It did feel nice but can't say it looked nice though.
You didn't go wrong with the seidio case though. It's a nice case. I've been using it for the past 2 weeks.

I like the idea of this as a screen protector, but like others have mentioned with their cases, it does not fit properly with the body glove case. Hopefully I can return it, as I really like the feel of the Body Glove.

Yeah, with someone confirming it doesn't play nicely with the Seidio Surface case, mine is going back too

I have a question. How thick is this protector? The Xgear version is only .4mm thick. That's about half the thickness of a human fingernail!! I was worried about it interfering with the home button but it should be fine considering how thin it is!

Review: iFeel Tempered Glass Protector

Today I received a package from Korea with iFeel screen protector. After unpacking, I saw a envelope green and white box with a photo iFeel Galaxy s3 and specification of tempered glass iFeel and the manufacturer's website (all in Korean) - www.ifeelglass.com .
At the front of the packaging has been specified specification:
a) Mighty screen protection (10H)
b) Screen crack prevention
c) Shatter-proof
d) Anti-scratch
e) Anti-Firgerprint
f) anti-bacterial surface
g) Secured durability
h) EAsy attachment with self-air-bubble-removal
i) Ultra-clear High definition
j) Perfect Performance of Touch Screen
(So ​​says the packaging is that the glass is also resistant to acids, alkalis and temperature fluctuations). I did not wait for anything, and immediately sat down to check what is inside. Packaging of the two parties was covered with hologram seal manufacturer. When opened in the inside can be found:
a) iFeel glass packed with extra packaging, in which so much was quick installation guide.
b) small book manual
c) small microfiber cloth

After opening the package I took out my iFeel glass, which at first glance seemed to be quite thick and tight stiff. After a while I noticed that it is not so rigid as it seems. They can be slightly bent in different directions. I immediately noticed that the glass with a white frame (the ordered) does not cover the entire front of the phone and the cover a little more than my earlier part of the film's simple Puro. All holes (home button, sensors, front camera and light, and cut the letter "Samsung") have been precisely cut. I started the installation. That's what I always do when applying foil and other such things on the phone's screen is good infusions bathroom. In the steamy room dust particles do not "fly" to prevent build-up of dust particles on the screen (if formed micro-bubbles, etc.).
After misting the room I took off my previous film, I cleaned screen carefully and thoroughly with a cloth and installed the glass.
I can not remember when the last time I was able to easily put the film on the screen. The whole took a few seconds and a single air bubble dust or pollen. After applying I tighten glass with cloth that was included.
All very well be imposed. All holes are perfectly matched, nothing was hidden (like the pictures). After removing the protective film has a whole was not so thick. After application can be seen that the glass is thicker than the film (although it is just to protect). It looks very nice, nicely, only the home button is slightly recessed (industry purchase aluminum sticker case) but can easily push it. Sticker available on eBay for $ 5 should completely resolve the problem. Before buying, I read on the forums that the glass is almost identical (according to some people suspect the same factory) as the version of SGP tempered glass, which is also produced in Korea. People complained that the use of glass SGP is often a problem of sensitivity. Due to the layer of adhesive only on the edges of the sensitivity of the screen
deteriorated and many people gave up the security because of the comfort.
With glass iFeel not noticed this problem. When the screen goes to a finger as if the glass was not there. There are no problems with sensitivity, everything comes naturally, text messages you write very well. I'll report after a few days of use. Compared to the previous film, which I can see some significant improvement in terms of use.There is much less fingerprints as on a normal film, and above all, do not leave "rainbow effect" that occurs when standard films. For this one swipe with a cloth, and the whole is perfectly clean, as new sheet of glass. In the normal film you need a little work to a whole was clean. The same transparency seems to me like the film better. The screen looks the same as the SGS3 without film and slides.
In summary - for the very beginning I was happy with my purchase. I approached the glass skeptical because of the reviews of the similar product of SGP, but watching the interesting movie on Youtube I decided to buy one piece of iFeel. A significant improvement with respect to the film normal at the expense of slightly greater thickness (0.4-0.6 mm). My family members at first glance, did not notice that it is glass on display. When the phone is inserted into Slim Cover Case Samsung it looks very nicely. You can only purchase a sticker on the "home" button - not everyone has to like the feeling of touch without sticker. If a glass will proof his parameters like on Youtube, I can be considered as one of the best accessories for your phone.

I had the SGP tempered glass on my Note and it was pretty nice, but since the S3 has a raised button I think I will have to pass on this one...

Hopefully someone managed to order the "fully clear" one, I dislike the super-imposed capacitive keys

@op
thanks for the review, there is a few question I need to ask, can you confirm the colour part, is the paint work on the top of the glass or the bottom, I asked because I want a all clear one, and this is not available.
You did mention that the glass is acid resistant, so I was thinking of using some acid of some sort to remove the colour part, may be thinner.
that if the the info is true and add adhesive for full coverage.
If it turns out bad it's only USD 30 or something wasted, still considering this, sgp or xgear for this mod.
can anyone also confirm the paint work is on the top/bottom on the xgear or sgp.
thanks

iLoome ScreenMate Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I usually don't create threads and make posts but I haven't seem much talk about this product and decided to share my experiences.
I bought the iloome screen mate screen protector after watching flossy carters youtube review and he said it was "A GO". I have had it installed for about 2 days and so far so good. It is tempered glass so it is super smooth and clear. It is not edge to edge (but pretty close) so my cases still fit without a problem.
The touch sensitivity is good but not great. Every so often I do get missed registers but it is not that bad. I installed it slightly off of the back button and I have some problems getting that button to work from time to time but this is not the screens fault, it is mine.
I had the Zagg and hated the sticky feeling of it, the small wrinkles and it make the screen a bit blurry. The iLoome feels and looks just like the naked screen.
If you are looking for a new screen protector I recommend you take a look at this one.
http://www.iloome.com/Galaxy-S-III-ScreenMate/b/6180893011?ie=UTF8&title=Galaxy+S+III
FYI: I am no way affiliated with iLoome in any way, just trying to give back to the community!

Looks nice...are the camera and proximity sensors covered or cut out?

The camera, ear piece, sensor are all cut out. Menu, back, notification light are not but have an outline of the buttons, so if you line it up correctly, you can see the back light of the menu and back buttons.
it also comes with two home button covers to match the height of the new screen after installed.

I just got this yesterday after having seen Flossys video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0LTYSfrcb8 Great product, went on with no bubbles. I was a bit worried about my case fitting (Trident Kraken), but it worked perfectly.

correction to previous post the only cut outs are the ear piece and the home button, i just took mine off today after about two weeks of use. there is a notable change in screen response a as not a big deal to some, to me it was too bad and the fact that the uag and other various cases i own did fit, they didn't fit correctly ex. the volume and power buttons being more difficult to press for me anyway. I also dropped my phone with this on from about 3inches and it cracked by the ear piece. others may have had better luck maybe i just got a bad one out of the bunch but in my own experiences i wouldn't choose to buy this again...

So the cut outs are just clear cut outs then?

Out of all of the screen protectors I have tried, Zagg, Zagg HD, the cheap ones from the mall, this is the best by far! It does catch finger smudges like the naked screen but quick wipe on your paints removes them very easily. I highly suggest this product, just be sure to install it correctly to reduce frustration that I am having with the back button sensitivity. You can install a rom with nav buttons to fix that but I like my screen real estate.

I was excited to see a glass protector for th s3. Thanks to Erica Griffin's excellent YouTube review. Since spigen's glas discontinued due to screen sensitivity issues, I have been using their ultra crystal and nano clear plastic protectors. They were good, but I miss the feel of glass, and finger prints aren't as easily wiped off compared to glass. anyway, I Just installed the iloome screenmate last night for my S3. I got it on 95% perfect, no issues due to installation like the OP. However, I do have a complaint on the Sensitivity reduction. there have been unresponsive touches, almost seem like I have to press harder than usual. It's really annoying. I'll put up with the dots, but screen sensitivity is important to me. It sucks when the plastic films are more sensitive than the iloome glass.

update: it's been a few days. i am getting a little used to the iloome glass. If I have to do it over again, I'll stay with the plastic film protectors. Now I just have to accept the iloome glass is as good as it'll get for the S3. Lessons learned, don't get a phone with curved screen if you like glass protectors.

I have the iloome and like it a lot. I had one a few weeks ago that the glue failed on, iloome gave me a quick friendly refund. I figured I'd go back to plastic, after two weeks I really missed the feel of glass and reordered the iloome. I have a little bit of a rainbow effect under the glass but I have to look for it to see it. At this p point I'm extremely happy with the iloome.
To answer the earlier post I'm at a high 8 out of 10.
Following is an image of the rainbow effect I see. (note it I rarely notice it unless I am looking for it.

I just bought this iloome thing, because im having this weird issue where my screen is getting warm or hot but not the battery when ever I just browsing stuff or checking facebook for like 10 mins. I thought its my cpu but i just watched a movie on netflix and it didnt get hot or anything. So idk if I just have a high temeperature or what so i hope iloome will solve my this issue.

update #2: I have the iloome creame case along side with tempered glass. The case is your typical hard plastic case that provides minimal (if any) drop protection. The fit and finish is very good, and doesn't feel cheap. Anyway, my 1 year old grab my phone from the table and threw it to the tile floor. It landed on the corner of the phone, cracked the iloome tempered glass, nothing else is damaged.
So yes, it probably saved my screen, and I am grateful.

iloome doesnt back their product...email only!!
Bought the iloome tempered glass for my Note 3..did the shower antidust/debris thing- 10 minutes.. washed hands..set everything up- read directions..cleaned phone- cleaned phone again..(cleaned until my facial hair grew back)
yet.. after carefully applying the glass, there we go..debris under glass.
carefully lifted glass..no breakage- tried to use dust stickers, scotch tape on both surfaces..
applied again..same debris. emailed iloome- stated issue- the problem here is static electricity!! not just airborne dust. they will not exchange. only sell you another one at a discount..although ismooth and other companys provide phone numbers to call them, and even offer to send you more to help out.. Iloome does not. My advice?
Buyer beware! destatic yourself..( like when handling electrical chipsets..)memory chips, etc.) very frustrating to WASTE almost 30 bucks to accomplish this CLEANROOM NECESSARY process. maybe its time to tell some companies where to put their gadgets.

[REVIEW] UltimateShield Tempered Glass Screen Protector OP7 Pro

This will be a short review which hopefully helps OP7 Pro owners wether they should buy the tempered glass protector from Ultimate Shield or not. Please take your time and read the whole review
PRODUCT PAGE
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/products/oneplus-7-pro-tempered-glass-screen-protector
This might be the time to add that Ultimate Shield did not tell me to write this, I bought the screen protector because I have used their OP5 tempered glass in the past and was satisfied with that one. In case the pictures don't show on your screen, I've attached them in a zip file down below.
What do you get?
For £11.99 (~14€ / ~15$) and free worldwide you get one screen protector, instructions, dust removal stickers (which I forgot when taking the picture), a microfiber cloth and a wet cloth.
I bought it because I wanted a tempered glass screen protector which is curved so I can protect the whole display including the curved edges.

What about applying it?
The instructions are basically useless, since we're dealing with a screen protector which sticks to the phone with the adhesive side, so no bubbles, no "vacuum" or anything like that, as long as the display has been cleaned before nothing can go wrong, just make sure that the side slim black bar is alined with the top of the phone. Oh and you should remove the preapplied screen protector before putting this one on the display. After that it is important to apply preassure on the border of the screen protector to make it stick, and this is where things get critical, at least that is what happened to me. Even though it looks like I've prefectly placed the glass on top of the display some parts of the protector simply won't stick, or at least stick for a few minutes. I have added some photos where you can see a tiny gap. Keep in mind that I have applied A LOT of pressure on those parts, more than enough. The screen protector has rounded corners and a curved edge, it covers about 99 percent of the display.
What about colours and sharpness of the display with the screen protector?
After applying the screen protector I haven't noticed any kind of weird colour shifting or rainbow effect. It still looks as sharp as before, but due to reflections the edge of the display has some minor rainbow effect. I only notice that at a specific angle and when the background is white. Oh and it doesn't seem to cut off any part of the screen.
What about the fingerprint reader?
After deleting the old fingerprints and adding new ones with the screen protector applied the fingerprint scanner works 99/100 times, it might take a split second longer than without it, but I didn't have any issues.
What about the touchscreen and gestures?
This is where I got frustrated. After using the phone with the tempered glass I instantly noticed that the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as it was before. "alright", I said to myself, "It is completely normal that it feels different now". Unfortunately this is why I would personally not buy this screen protector again. I had to apply more pressure than ususal when tapping on an icon and so on. Sometimes the touchscreen didn't register even though my finger clearly touched the glass. This was very annoying when using the keyboard, in almost every sentence at least one or two characters where simply missing because the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as before. Same story with gestures, you need a lot more pressure and when swping up or down in order to open the app drawer or notifications it sometimes works but sometimes it takes up to three tries in order to get the gesture to work. In comparison, without the tempered glass screen protector I had no issues at all.
SUMMERY
Applying it was easy but when I did it it didin't stick as good as I hoped it would. The tempered glass screen protector doesn't really change colours, which is a good thing. THe touchscreen experience was comparable with one of those older smartphones where you had to use more force and it wasn't as accurate. Overall, I can not recommend it for the price, unless you use the touchscreen with a lot of force. If you think that I didn't apply it correctly feel free to "call me out" in the comment section and tell me how you would have done it.
UPDATE
Since the tempered glass didn't stick very well anyway I went ahead and carefully removed it and moved it about 1mm downward. Unfortunately the touchscreen is still not responsive enough to use the keyboard without any issues which is why I contacted Ultimate Shield directly via Email. (still waiting for them to reply)
FINAL UPDATE
They answered and after looking at the images I send them they said that it might be faulty because according to them the black adhesive should stick much better than it did in my case. They were kind enough to give me a refund! If you bought one and had a much better experience please tag me so I can quote your opinion!

Probably cus it's not full adhesive. We need to wait for Whitestone or something like that

Probably, I think my application was good, I guess the adhesive can't do the job when it comes to the curved edges...

Too bad OP didn't release one at launch. I assume they will down the road like they did with the 6T.

Well the 7 is just the 6T, so they just have to update the packaging

Not trying to be funny but was there an indication on the protector as to where the top/bottom was?

Well the flap of the protective foil that was on the the glass was probably the indicator.
That and the fact that the bottom part of teh black frame was way wider than the upper part...
About 2mm of black adhesive on the buttom and 1mm on the top...
EDIT:
It wouldn't make sense to aline the the thicker black line with the thin bezel
I've sent UltimateShield an email concerning this issue.

I've ordered same protector for delivery tomorrow, getting the phone today so I'll give it a go, how is it with cases or have you not checked? I've ordered the Ringke Fusion-X too so would hope they'll work together.
Watched this video of the PureGear protector, from XDA fave TK Bay, which looks mucho pricey but seems to play nicely with, at least, official cases.

the glass doen't fully the cover the display, there's about 1 to 1.5mm between the tempered glass and the frame of the phone, I can use the transparent TPU case that came with the phone without any problems

Thank you for your review. I currently have a film on my screen now. I was thinking about purchasing a tempered glass shield for my 7 pro especially since T-Mobile has the Puregear one on sale for 10 bucks off (if I'm not mistaking) but I'm not sure.

I actually ordered the same tempered glass,but I noticed that it wasnt clear and that the black outline on the edges was the adhesive. It doesn't truly embrace the curved screen, but you can use it for the back of your phone. I glued to the back of my 7 Pro with the clear case on. Your phone will look like a beast

interesting approach xD

I'm waiting for this to show up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP5KJXV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seems like a Whitestone clone. Hoping it's decent.

Got one too. Install was super easy but like said in OP, sensitivity gets way worse. I would not recommend.

Do you know if the product is in stock?

Looks like the OP product was replaced by a newer full adhesive version:

The screen of my 7Pro looks like new. I never used a screen protector. Just the sandstone hardcase for the back.
