Hello,
I bought an off brand glass screen protector for my ONE and received and applied today. It's better than I imagined it would be. And way cheaper than the spigen or seidio. Watch the unboxing here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P4cPwP7w9U&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And what it looks like after being applied.

I'm about to order one. How did you go about applying it?
Let us know how it goes after a weeks worth of experience with it! I'm interested in purchasing one myself!!!
Also, what is the thickness that you picked?

Very carefully. Lol. I lined up the bottom edge with where the metal and glass meet. Its easier than explained. I did mess up the first time, it was crooked. I used tape to pull up the screen protector then lined it up again. The instruction says to push down on the center. I didn't have to it automatically started to suck itself onto the phone screen. Definitely an interesting thing to watch. It stopped before it was completely adhered. So I did have to put pressure on the edge. The are tiny micro bubbles that are seen immediately after adhesion, but they dissipate after some time. however my corners seem to not be adhered correctly. I left it over night with an iPad on top to add weight hoping it would flatten out. No such luck. I'm wondering what else i can try...

I will. It's 0.4 mm thickness. I can tell you this the oleophobic coating is worth it. Plastic screen protectors are always greasy and you can't seen to wipe it off enough. These don't have that problem. I'll keep you updated though.

I have one of these, from the same supplier arriving this week. Do you use a case on your phone? Interested to know if this interferes with the fit of it if you do.
Interesting to hear your account of fitting this. I thinks i will securely tape a carefully aligned straight edge steel ruler to the phone and use that as a bump stop type tool to try and get it on first go.

You reffered to the SGP model of the glass screen protector, due to the packaging.
My question, how sharp are the edges of this screen protector with swiping the toolbar down for example, since SGP released a rounded version of the protector to get the sharp edges of.

I'm using this protector (same Chinese) knockoff I bought on amazon. With a super sweet case/bumper also purchased on amazon.. the glass is slightly narrower than the stock screen. I have no issues with the glass and the case.

They aren't sharp like a piece of glass in a picture frame. It's somewhat beveled but not rounded off and super smooth. Well worth the money for me.

ah, okay dope, thanks man. May order soon tho!! But I'm still waiting for some stuff for my phone so after that I'll see if you got any updates on the screen!
Got the same screen protector from the same supplier as the OP today.
Very easy to install. No bubbles
Nice rounded edges, and as it is lightly smaller than the screen, my case fits well.
Texture very slick. Once on and in the case you wouldn't actually know it has a screen protector on apart from the small rise next to each speaker which you would take as part of the phone if you weren't familiar with the HTC One..
I will never go back to plastic SPs. This is legit! Even though an edge didn't completely adhere this thing rocks.

not sure if it's just a bad screen protector or the screen is not entirely flat, but it seems kinda strange to me that only the edges of the phone that the screen protector won't stick. i've never seen this in any of my previous SP installations. any thoughts anyone? btw, these are the really cheap SPs from ebay, but they've always worked for me.
Correct, screen is not flat. Take a good look at the edges and you'll see they curve awat in the last few mm.

It looks pretty cool imo. Like when you drop water onto a penny.
That is why some screen protectors don't cover the entire front of the GS3. If it bothers you I believe this screen protector is slightly smaller than the front so it doesn't leave those lifted edges.

the SP i had on is slightly smaller than the screen already, but i don't think this is the problem here though, instead i think it's my screen's edges that is not flush. has anybody else with a S3 that has this problem? it would suck going back to costco and telling them this is the reason i wanted to exchange my phone.

the entire edge of the screen is beveled downward to create a curve at the edges. run your finger along the edges and you'll notice it, it's pretty substantial and was an intended design. if you want a protector that will cover all the edges you will need a flexible one. u suggest the skinomi one that's on sale on Amazon.

Did you really even have to ask that?
And this is really unfortunate. My 5 for $0.99 screen protectors from ebay have the same stupid 2mm non-sticking edge at the top/bottom. Maybe I just use a scalpel to cut the next one before I apply it? Might leave a really sharp edge though..
SGP has a Flex HD protector that is supposed to offer full screen coverage. It's $18 but I'm going to give it a shot.

I have used belkin and incipio protectors, and both do not stick around the edges of the phone. It does detract from appearance a bit, but I am not going to worry about it anymore. I have yet to see a screen protector that is 100% flush with the screen.
A tip for those who got the same screen protector. If you have a hair blow dryer, hot blow dry the screen protector first to the point where it gets kinda soft, peel off the part 1 of the SP then apply it. blow drying the SP would soften it and would make it cooperate to stick in the screen. Now, I haven't tried this as I had just ordered the SP similar to this but I've tried the same method when I had the htc sensation(contour glass). There's a big possibilty that this would work

Nice suggestion, but it doesn't make the glue more gummy or anything? Would really have appreciated it if samsung took this into account before they put this odd curve on the glass. Why don't phone companies just ship screen protectors and cases with their phones? In fact the casing should be shock resistant and cheap to replace on EVERY phone. Maybe just a chassis and then you put whatever case around it even.
90% of people stick their nice phone in an ugly $2.99 case. It's a huge market that samsung and others are just giving away. The $39.99 cases don't look any better either...
Anyone on the forums try one yet? The seller has 100% feedback for his/her ebay sales, although not all sales are for the glass protectors. I only saw that one person with our phone had purchased one. (veyoncee, are you on this forum???)
I would like to know about this as well. Does anyone know if Spigen is coming out with one?

I'm curious as to how flat it lays against the screen. I assume it has total contact but I'm not 100% sure. I'd also like to know how well it plays with cases, with it having a thickness that is greater than the typical plastic screen protector. And then there's finger printing. I bought the AT&T/Casemate ones and they are grease magnets and somewhat hard to remove finger oils.

It makes full contact using a silicone adhesive. It does cause issues with hard shell cases. It should be about as fingerprint resistant as our original glass considering it is made from oleophobic glass.

I bought one. Its very good. Resist fingerprint very well, much More so than not having one.

Btw, it lays completely flat. It doesn't go over the tapered edge and actually leaves about 0.5mm of actual flat edge.
When first installed, it didn't completely adhere near the camera and raised slightly, but after about a day it bonded all the way.
Just be mindful about the bubbles when installing. Slightest dirt will show up as a bubble.

How is it for light transmission...does the anti-smudge property block light (like a matte screen protector does)?
If it does smudge, is it relatively easy to remove them? (my Case-Mate vinyl protectors hold onto smudges, needing a liquid cleaner to remove the grease).
During your installation did you trap any dust, and if so, is the silicone adhesive forgiving? Basically, can you remove and reapply or will that possibly leave permanent fingerprints on the adhesive as well as dust?
If you had to do it over again, would you still get this product or try something else?
If you've used spigen glass, they are identical in my opinion.
It basically comes down as the best screen protector you can buy. You won't go back to using any other type of protector.
You can read up on spigen glass it applies for this as well.

Nope. When it does I will post in this thread.
It's a city over from me, So I suspect I'll get it today.
Alright, I got my glass protector today.
I'll give you the bad news, I do not have a photo of it on the phone..But I will cover everything so you won't miss it.
Packaging
The Envelope and the product both had a bubble wrap element to them. So the product made it here safe and I bet yours will too.
The Robot is my watermark and it covers my address.
Sellers Address
It's only worth $8.00 to them LOL
The opening process in order.
They included two Home Buttons
This will let you press the button with the glass on. It's not very tall so have no worries about it grabbing. My Tough Case it higher from the screen than the button.
Alcohol wipe,Home Buttons and a cheap cloth
The glass
It has very accurate cut outs for Home Button,Speaker and the Sensor/Camera area.
Application.
Scotch tape will help you remove any lint after you clean it. It will remove it from the adhesive side of the glass.
My adhesive side plastic cover stayed on the glass and the pull tab came off. It took a finger nail on the Speaker slot to pull it up and off.
I lined it up with the home button as it gives a 360* range of center to focus on. I then let that side rest down and gently let it drop down and on.
If you do it this way you will get to watch as it will pull itself to the OGP screen, It's actually interesting to watch as the glass will change color as it adheres to the screen from Home button up to the speaker.
Impressions
It's really slick and smooth.
The screen is just as responsive as it was naked.
I do not see any finger prints while I've been touching it.
Make certain you have every spec of dust removed. The glass is rigid and it will allow for a larger bubble of air and make it more noticeable.
I work at a steel plant and carry my phone all day, I also live a very active life style so this glass will gets its strength tested.
If it scratches or breaks I will update this thread.
All in all after a hour of having it, I like it and so far have no complaints about it.
Hi guys,
I just installed the Spigen GLAStR Nano Slim Tempered Glass Protector. I bought it off Amazon and it came pretty quick despite the holidays. I've attached pictures of the glass on my Nexus 5. Sorry I didn't get pictures of the installation process. I didn't want to risk getting dust underneath, so I had to do it quick.
I used the "Hinge Method" to put the screen on. And as you can see I got slight bubbles at the bottom (circled in red), so the installation wasn't perfect. I also have 1 tiny micro bubble in the middle...it's hardly noticeable even with the screen off/on and is probably less than .5mm in diameter. I would still suggest using this method for any screen protector installation.
After about 30 minutes, I used a micofiber cloth-covered squeegee to push out those bubbles that were circled...and they're gone! I just have that tiny ass one in the middle.
Overall it feels great, and its definitely smooth with the oleophobic coating...I haven't put my Cruzerlite case on yet, gonna give it some time for the glass' adhesive to settle in. I will comment on that soon!
Any questions? Feel free to hit me up!
Best,
K

Tempered Glass w/ Cruzerlite Case On
Hi all,
Just an update here. I let the glass sit overnight and all the bubbles were gone..even that micro bubble in the middle of the screen. This morning, I slapped on my Cruzerlite TPU case, to see if there was any peeling of the glass, or any fit issues.
Initially, it seemed everything was fine. However, after I got to work, I noticed that in the left bottom corner, the case began to push the glass up a little, especially if I pushed on that edge. As such, I decided to remove the case to prevent any more issues.
Spigen's GLAStR screen protector seems like a good one, but I think if they increased the edges 1mm in each direction, the Cruzerlite case would sit on top and sort of seal the glass rather than hit edge-to-edge like in this case, causing the glass to begin peeling. I've attached pictures to show what it looks like with the case on.
Let me know if you have any questions!
K
Thanks for the review. I got one as a replacement from the previous defective ones.
As I have not applied mine yet, can you describe what is the "Hinge" method?

Sure. The Hinge method is where you take the screen protector and tape it to the phone BEFORE you peel the protective film away.
1) Align the screen protector to exactly where you want it
2) Tape one side of the protector so that you can swing it open like a door (tape in two places..I put a piece near the power button and one a little further down
3) Open up the "door" that you just made and clean your naked screen so there is no lint, dust, hair etc.
5) Make sure the protector aligns just as you want it
4) Then peel the "backside" of the film off so that the adhesive side is exposed and "close the door" so the protector is on the phone
5) Immediately take a squeege and cover it in a micofiber cloth and push out any bubbles you may have
6) Peel away the front of the screen protector
7) Using the squeegee that's inside the cloth (VERY IMPORTANT so you don't scratch the glass), push out any remaining bubbles
8) DONE! ENJOY!
Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt9_fZDT-As

Nice review and a +1 for the hinge method. Only way to install a 'dry' screen protector for me!
Just received mine today. Install went great except I noticed an air bubble on the left side about halfway down, right on the edge. Well, when I took a closer look, it was actually a chip in the glass.
Contacted Spigen Support and I am waiting for a response. Hopefully they can help me out.

I didn't go for the hinge method. But I have used it in the past and it works pretty well.
The chip is pretty small so its not interfering with anything on the screen, as long as it doesn't get worse.

my son likes to hide my phone, last night he hid my phone under my recliner (which hits the floor when rocking) and as i was rocking away i heard CRACK / CRUNCH....looked under the chair to find my phone with two very prominent pressure cracks on the screen...
i thought NO WAY was this ONLY the Nano.TR....as i pulled up the corners, the glasses started breaking and falling apart, but low and behold, not a single scratch or dent on my phones screen!
Completely blown away that my phone's screen didn't crack under the pressure.....sold on them forever!

So because of the chip in the edge of the protector it ended up just cracking across the screen.
I can't feel the crack but you can see it.
No email back from Spigen yet. Buy I did update them on the hairline crack across.

It's the first time I try a glass screen protector, this one is very wonderful. There is only a micro-chip somewhere, but I can't see it in normal conditions, I have to examine my screen closely for like one minute to spot it.
Putting it on the screen was very easy, much easier than plastic screen protectors.
It fits nicely with official Google bumper case.
Without a case?
Hey guys, I personally want to buy this Spigen protector (.tr version) because I hate cases on my mobile phone. I'm not going to waste €36 (yes, its the Netherlands) if I also have to apply a case on it. So is this screenprotector drop-proof? If I drop this phone from 1 meter from the surface, would it be able to save the ORIGINAL glass?
Thanks,

What do you mean by "over time", considering my usage, I have only dropped my old phone (SGS+) once in the two years of intensive usage. As SGS+ is a smart strong boy, it doesn't break, not even a scratch. Would the Glas.tR, 0.4 mm, survive a 1 meter downfall? Thanks in advance yo

It depends on how it falls obviously, but I'd say chances are pretty good that the glass screen protector would be cracked or chipped after a fall, especially onto a hard surface like concrete. I have the GLAS.t on my N5 and like you I prefer no case and am very careful with my phone. But even just casual daily use, the screen protector has chipped, and it's been the case with several others too (spanning a variety of different brands as well).
So I would proceed with caution and really consider if it's worth sinking the money into. That being said, if the screen protector chips or cracks after a fall, it's taking damage that would otherwise be applied to your phone, which is its purpose to begin with.

It depends on how it falls obviously, but I'd say chances are pretty good that the glass screen protector would be cracked or chipped after a fall, especially onto a hard surface like concrete.

So, a fall from 1 meter above on a hard surface, with the glass .tR 0.4mm applied, straight on its front would prevent the ORIGINAL Nexus 5 glass from cracking? (i know the spigen **** will crack)

There's no reason to expect any screen protector would save a phone from a drop. Screen protectors are meant for preventing the glass from being scratched. If the drop is sufficient to damage the screen, I strongly feel it would damage the screen through a 0.4mm sheet of glass overlaying your screen.
Cases, however, are what you use to protect phones from drops.
This is my third one, and I don't care for it. Two Skinomi's, and a TG I loved, but it covered the notification light (top & bottom black borders).
Anybody found one that is perfect? Or, did vendors give-up on this phone?

My Verizon Tempered Glass Screen protector, which I installed back in May, has been perfect. It looks like you're from the U.S given you came from the Sprint M8 so you can pick one up locally. They have zero lifting and covers the entire visible screen, both horizontally and vertical. Highly recommend it.

No problem! It's as thin, or even thinner than some plastic screen protectors too . Just thought I'd share because I've seen some thick ones

You might also check the newer Orzly 2.5D ProFit tempered glass. I haven't personally tried it yet, but has great reviews, and if I decide to replace mine (which is currently just a cheaper tempered glass that does not go edge to edge), I will probably be getting the Orzly
I'm waiting to receive a Rhino Shield in the mail. I'm currently using an Inskin tempered glass protector. Not bad, but it doesn't go to the edges completely and the sides of the protector have a little bit of air underneath. Still works well thought. My phone fell in the gravel face first from my pocket, and there's not even a scratch, so at least it does the job.
Have also been looking for an edge to edge protector.. The orzly is right up there, however I have switched my capacitive buttons so I can't use it. Would look stupid. Still on the hunt.
anybody try the nanocoatings yet?
I've tried 6 screen protectors and finally found one without any issues. #5 was a zizo and it fit but had a stupid rainbow and the top corner randomly broke in my pocket after a month.
I bought this one on ebay. It covers the whole screen, fits perfectly, has a curved screen, no rainbow, air bubbles, and doesn't lift up at the ends. I'm finally happy with my screen protector

Do you use a case with the phone?
I thought someone tried this on the main thread for screen protectors and said it was just another Zizo. I really don't care about the rainbow. I just hate the smudges

It looks similar to zizo but it isn't (I've bought both).

So, this is interesting, I bought the zizo combination case and glass screen protector combo amd it looks EXACTLY like the one you're mentioning here. It's actually really great. No rainbow or bubbling and full-screen exactly like this one.

Sorry, the only way I have to take pictures is with the phone itself in a mirror (not terribly useful) or with the web cam on my new laptop which of course is of an awful quality. Here is the best I could get...
Would be nice if you use a friend's phone and take some pictures of the screen protector installed. I'm not being rude and appreciate your attempts at photographing it, but honestly they're pointless as they show us nothing

For $7 I'm going to give it a shot. Same price on Amazon for Supershieldz and 2 day delivery. Will update when installed
UPDATE: My Supershieldz TGP arrived and before heading out of town on business I installed and can confirm NO HALO. This is not just a Zizo close. Been using it for a couple of days now and while there is still smudging it's not as bad as the Zizo. I'll try to post some photos using my 6p when I get home

U can't see anything in those pictures.
I've ordered a zizo and a couple of the others that look the same and I'm done. All the ones I get smudge like crazy and have the rainbow effect.
I'm just gonna wait until there's a definite consensus on one that doesn't have those issues.
I'm currently using an Armor shield wet protector and it's pretty good for plastic. Better than the glass protectors as far clarity/smudge resistance but the glass is obviously better as far as feel goes.
Anybody knows a good matte/Anti-Glare screen protecror that covers the whole screen?
I pried my wife's iphone 7 plus out of her hands long enough to take these.
Is there adhesive on the clear part of the glass? Not just on the black trim. That's the cause of the oil spill under the screen. No adhesive to hold it tight to the phone like the clear tempered shields.

Not a clue, but whatever is holding it on is clear with no bubbles, bumps or rainbow oil slicks.

I've never had a problem with that on any of the 6 I've tried so can't say. No issues here for me.

I was not about to stick my finger on the adhesive side to check if the center has adhesive but with no halos can't think of another explanation
