Has anyone ordered one of these? I just did, ill review it when it comes in.
UPDATE: I got the "glass" screen protector in the mail today. Its just a flimsy cheap-o screen protector. Its nice in that it works, but skip this. I did make a video on the cool glazing/oleophobic coating google added to the screen. http://youtu.be/afEWMOpZcfk
Thanks! Just ordered one. The glass screen protector I have for my N4 cost me like $30 so this is a nice find. I love the protection without loosing that glass feeling while using the phone.

Is this really glass, or just a thick semi-flexible screen protector? otherwise, it is quite cheap for it being glass.

It's in an image. Scroll down further, it's under "7 Layer Protection"
If I had to guess, I'd say this isn't glass like the more expensive Spigen ones. It shows as having 7 layers and it looks like only the PET kind of screen protectors are multi layers.
EDIT//
Yup, it's not real glass.

I purchased this screen for my S4 and my sis's iPhone 5c. I thought the products were glass because they are rated at 6h, but they are PET plastic. What upset me most is that the s4 screen came as a different branded package (pictures included). That said, both screens attached fairly easily, no bubbles and no rainbows. They are cut to the exact size of the screen so there is barely any room for error. Added a spigen slim armor to my s4 and the screen fits perfectly with my case. No bubbles, unlike adding my sister's iPhone case. The feel of the screen is good, not quite as smooth as the original glass screen, but much better than the other cheap plastic screens on Amazon. The top screen cutout shows all the sensors and led. I'm happy with the purchase so far,I only wish they were more clear about the material and the packaging.

to be fair, the product in the link you provided doesn't mention anything about "tempered glass" in the description like the one in the OP. it also details only a 4-layer screen protector, unlike the 7 advertised in the OP.
but i also can't say for sure it's real glass either. dafuq is "tempered glass film?" and i also don't see a cutout for the earpiece speaker at the top. it's probably an error in the render, but you never know. these were on sale before any customers even received their phones.

You are (were?) correct when you say that the item from my link did not say tempered glass yesterday but I just checked again and it does mention it now. It looks like they updated their images and it also shows that is it 7 layers, just like the item OP linked.
I was hoping this would actually be glass at such a cheap price. I would have picked one up too.
EDIT//
It looks like the same question was asked and they replied. But what the hell is tempered glass film? It's either tempered glass or it's a film (PET).
Q: Can you please confirm if this is made of real glass or plastic? I see references to both "tempered glass" AND PET film.
A:This product is made of Temper glass film with 7 layered technology. This is the new technology for temper glass in the marker, which protects your screen from shattering. If you have any further inquires, please email us back at our customer service email. Thank you.

It's simple - "You've got a screen made out of tempered glass? We've got a film to cover it." Don't know why that isn't obvious from the product's name.

If you're not going to be using a case, be sure to get the 'R' model with the rounded edges; the normal one, with squared edges and without a case protecting those edges, is far more susceptible to chipping.
I'll never go back to a film protector again. Tempered glass is more expensive, true, but it lasts far longer (it will be pristine after several film SP's have degraded due to normal wear and tear), is as invisible as possible, has greater clarity, allows more light through, has no rainbow issues, orange peel effect, stretching.... and it feels exactly like the original screen.

it was actually me who posted that question. and i agree - it's either glass or PET, not both. perhaps something isn't being translated correctly?
regardless, i think i'm going to hold off on this one. $9 bucks would have been nice, but i'd rather pay a little more for real a real glass screen protector
Just ordered one because of the price. Thanks for the heads up.

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..

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.

This is kind of short though. But the price is good.
There are quite a few discussions about screen protectors, but what about the rear camera lens? since the crystal is specially big in our beloved N5 (and personally don't know if it's also made of Gorilla 3) I would like to protect it from scratches. I know some screen protectors include this little spot, but i ordered a Spigen one (didn't read about the bubbles issues before ordering it, so guess I'll have to ask for a replacement if it comes defective) so I would like just that camera protector, don't care if it's tempered glass or polymeric.
Check out dbrand skins.
I noticed my back camera has some sort of film protector, but I'm sure those peel off real quick, could you please link us to some that you have already tried and think are good?

I'm sure it will, I have also kept it but it doesn't cover the camera itself, only the outer cristal ring. Also, it is not a protector, and the manufacturer wants you to get one, hence the white part to easily peel it off.

you're probably not going to find one to cover just that spot as it will likely be part of a set. so unless you make your own, probably better to just eat the ~$8 and get the screen protector kit (and throw away the screen protector). i haven't seen JUST the camera protector part

Hey guys! Not sure if it's what OP is looking for, but basically what we offer is a lens skin. It covers the glass (crystal?) portion of the camera and is just barely thick enough to raise the entire lens and protect it from scratches when you rest it on any given surface. While we don't currently sell the lens skin separate from the entire back skin, if you send us a PM we can work something out. We'd send you 14 lens skins, one in each style of material that is offered on our site (we don't offer any transparent materials). They're packaged together in a little baggie as seen below. If anyone is interested, PM us for details.

Imo think that would be a desirable product to sell since I can't seem to find it anywhere else. The look of the camera is so good I don't want to cover it up
If you just wanna cover the glass over top of the lens so you have clear photos, just grab a cheap screen cover and get a hole punch
I believe most manufacturers use sapphire glass for the cameras which are nearly impossible to damage... Only thing harder are diamonds.
It takes quite a bit of force to cause it to break and while gorilla glass may take more pressure before breaking it is much more likely to scratch than sapphire. Gorilla glass has a hardness of 7 and Sapphire has a hardness of 9. The only thing that can scratch Sapphire are things with a hardness of 10 such as diamond.

Just get a descent case or pouch and it will be fine.
This is literally a copy+paste from my post on Google+ find that one here with lots more photos - https://plus.google.com/103184848438617607889/posts/eg5ALeSq6uG
So I've been super busy these past few days but I wanted to share with everyone something I got for my #Nexus5 from +Cruzerlite ... This is _my_ mini-review of the Cruzerlite #TruGlass screen protector and a mini-comparison with MIMEUSA's Ghost Glass...
*Initial remarks*
At first glance you can see that its a very nice quality protector... Unlike the +MIMEUSA #GhostGlass I had on my phone previously, this one is flexible glass and not just tempered glass... Both are made of actual glass but the MIME glass is more rigid and doesn't bend much at all... From what I hear, the TruGlass is made from the same material that the Samsung Round and LG GFlex screens are made up of... So its quite flexible but not flimsy like a normal plastic screen protector would be...
*Installation*
Installation was mostly easy because I followed the directions even the hot shower to grab any loose dust lol... When installing, its probably best to peel back the whole plastic film on the application side and reattach it about 2/3 or 1/2 to the glass... This will help you center it easier w/o having to lift it off once the glass is down... once its on there, the bubbles are easily squeezed out with some light pressure to each area with them... Installation done and you're ready to enjoy
*First Impressions of it installed*
I was immediately not happy with it and I'll tell you why... I have self-diagnosed OCD and I like for things to line up perfectly... This is why I prefer Cruzerlite vinyl skins and their precise fit as opposed to DBrand skins which leave huge gaps on the edges and even side pieces… But my main gripe with this protector was that it didn’t go all the way to the top/bottom/left/right edges… I contacted Cruzerlite and they assured me this was intentional to ensure perfect fit with their cases… I was initially not happy with that answer considering I’m a minimalist person who doesn’t like cases covering up the beauty of my phone… Then I decided to actually try them with their cases and placed the order to which they shipped REALLY fast considering nothing really happens on the weekend for most businesses…
*Impressions with Cruzerlite TruGlass + Cases*
WOW, such a great fit and makes perfect sense with the way the glass is cut… No issues installing the cases and its a very nice/snug fit on the phone…
*Final thoughts*
I’m not as unhappy with the screen protector as my initial impressions and in fact its hardly noticeable without a case on the phone and certainly not noticeable with a case on the phone… I can’t judge on lasting quality but I can say its a great buy if you’re looking for a glass protector that doesn’t have too much added thickness and one that fits well with cases…
*Recommendation*
BUY IT NOW!!! lol http://goo.gl/WZU9ua
On with the pics of this all
Oh and the one shot of just the glass with a brown background shows a lines up comparison of #TruGlass vs #GhostGlass
*Edit - Added link to cases*

yes, in the OP is a link to the post with pics of it installed with the case!
Flexible glass ?? Couldn't find any endurance/drop test reviews. So I'm doubtful on their ability to provide shatter protection for the screen if dropped. Personally I think a good tempered glass protector or something like a Rhino Shield would be a much better option for $30.

That can't be glass. It's must be a different material. Mime is the only one that actually feels physically like glass

true but its still glass lol... did you see the video of the LG G-Flex literally bending flat? that's also glass and it bends... did you see that new Samsung TV that bends at the push of a button?
point is, just because it bends doesn't mean it doesn't provide protection...

Here is a video review of truglass
Mine arrived in the post yesterday, I fitted it today.
This thing is certainly a premium product, it feels and like there's not even a screen protector fitted. Only if you look carefully by the ear piece you can see it. Its so smooth and its really nice to touch, slightly expensive but we will see how it fairs against the test of time. I used an invisisheild before I don't think I'll be using those again, its a floppy sticky bit of plastic.
My only small gripe with this is there a few tiny tiny air bubbles I can't seem to get out with the squeegy and I can't see any dust particles in there. Il try and add a photo later

Has anyone used these without a case? I'm wondering if the edges are less prone to chipping if they don't go all the way out to the edge of the phone

Same here. I'll be interested if I can use a glass and be case free? Do these glass protectors protect from the main glass actually breaking?

I just bought this. I would have hoped there is no cut at the speaker area just like what their picture looks like. Oh well.
How did you find the fit? Are the tolerances tight enough?

I don't think that will be possible (Technically it is of course)
But when you use the speakers, it causes vibrations, those vibrations could either crack the screen protector or create a pressure between the screen protector and the actual screen, which could cause the screen to crack. And lets not forget, the sound will be muffled by the screen protector which could (probably) lead to you not hearing people correctly while you're on the phone.

Hello.
Yes the cut is very well made and that fits perfectly.
I agree for the cut, it is not best but that offers a beautiful protection all the same.

It's strange ^^
I have the same like Kev1000000
I bought a $3 ebay tempered glass protector and it's identical to that. Seems to be very high quality too. So if someone's looking to cheap out, I highly recommend it.

I received mine today also from the same vendor - talklinesales. Here's the link where I got it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/141428833561
There isn't a corner L-cut at the proximity sensor. It is an oval cut. I'm happy.
I agree you might want to get replacement.
looks like the orzly is the way to go. its on amazon prime shipping for 14.99. Shows only speaker cut outs...hope it looks just like the picture!

I don't think it only has the speaker cutouts, if it doesn't have the sensor cutout, the sensor won't/might not work correctly.
Here's the Orzly for the front and a no name brand for the back I got from eBay. I got them from here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/141428833561
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181552479537
Surprisingly, there isn't any quality difference between the branded and no-name brand tempered glass. Both looks like they were made by the same company. I guess all of them are made by 1 big company in China and you can re-branded them after paying royalties.
The cuts are excellent with very small tolerances. To install I have to use the hinge method and a strong tape for the "hinge" because of the poor tape adhesion on a glass with oleophobic coating.
I got the Orzly because it is the thinnest front glass available at 0.24mm. The back is 0.30mm. Once installed, they add heft to the phone and it feels very good in the hands. The only problem I can see is it makes the phone more slippery.
The oleophobic coating is great. It significantly reduces fingerprints and improves clarity over several PET protectors I have used. This combo works on both the DK32 and DK48 dock. You can go for DK32 since they are significantly cheaper. For example, I got a DK32 $10 at eBay.
The best tempered glass is if you can find one with thickness between ~0.15-0.20mm for both front and back so it will not deviate too much on the feel of the non-protected phone.

Does anyone actually make tempered glass protectors that are under 0.2mm thick? I guess there's MIME Feather glass, but I doubt they'll ever make one for Sony phones. Oh how I wish Sony had used Gorilla Glass
This is a review of Otterbox Alpha Glass tempered glass screen protector for Galaxy Note 4. http://www.otterbox.com/Alpha-Glass...xy-Note-4/sam38-galaxy-note-4,default,pd.html , and on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Clearly-Protected-Protector-Samsung/dp/B00OY7QZKO/ , though currently out of stock.
Before I start my review, let me answer the obvious question on a tip of every Note 4 user tong - yes, there is halo effect Unfortunately, Galaxy Note 4 was cursed with a curved edge screen, and now we are stuck with not being able to have any tempered glass screen protector that sticks to the edges of the display. I already tested about half a dozen of brand name and no brand tempered glass protectors, and they all have an issue of not being able to stick to the edges even of the visible portion of the display. So why have I decided to review Alpha Glass anyway? In my opinion it offers a few bonuses that make it stand out from other glass protectors. Here is what I found.
Arrived in a slim box, it's definitely has a nice presentation typical for most of the Otterbox products. Though it says made for Otterbox cases, you have to realize this is a universal screen protector that's going to work with every case. Due to Note 4 handicap of curved screen, everybody trims down their screen protectors for N4 to cover only the visible portion of the display, thus you going to have plenty of margin to work with any protective case. Also, though having a typical 9H hardness rating, it's a thin glass that should work even with Defender case and its built-in screen protector. And just like with any other tempered glass protectors, you have anti-shatter and scratch protection, transparent touch screen sensitivity, and ultra clarity.
Included with a screen protector are a cleaning alcohol wipe, cleaning cloth, and a set of instructions. I'm sure a lot of you have experience with screen protector installation, but just as a reminder - make sure to work in a well lit area, dust free surface, wash your hands with soap before application, wipe your display with alcohol pad and let it dry for a second, and don't hover over with your t-shirt during installation (keep in mind that your cloth has plenty of dust specks).
One thing that made Alpha Glass install stand out from everything else was a yellow tint protective film on top of it. Typically screen protectors come with two protective film covers where you remove one from a "sticky" side first to apply to the screen, and then remove the outer one after the installation. Otterbox used a yellow color film on the later one which makes it VERY HELPFUL in alignment of the glass during installation. This is important because glass is pre-cut to cover only the visible part of the display and if you are OCD about your installation like I am - this will guide you in a perfect alignment.
Installation was a breeze and literally took me a few seconds. Of course, right away I noticed a halo effect around the edges. As a matter of fact, it's very noticeable and even wider than in some other screen protectors. But at the same time, I found Otterbox Alpha Glass to feel smoother to the touch and glide than any other protectors I looked at in the past. Also, I felt like colors on the screen were more vibrant with this glass protector, definitely very high level of clarity and transparency. Furthermore, all the cutouts were perfect and the edges were rounded and smooth.
Overall, unfortunately I haven't come across a perfect glass protector for Note 4 and most likely never will (just being realistic when it comes to Note 4, but would like to be proven wrong). The only way to have a perfect fitment is to have a flat screen and a flat glass on top of it. But since we don't have this luxury, you just have to go through different available options to see which one will suite you better. One definite advantage of Alpha Glass is an assisted installation with its colored protective film, a very smooth touch surface, and a bar none tech support and warranty where Otterbox always stands behind their product.
Here are the pictures.

After install.
That looks entirely acceptable to me. I'd buy that one in a minute.
Another fine review. Guess I'll hold off on the Alpha glass until I try my revised Zagg's that are on the way. Alpha's halos look pretty substantial.
Definitely gonna give this a try when they have it in stock. I'm one of the lucky ones that has a Note 4 that doesn't have much of a curve or it starts a lil later. I'm using a supershields right now and its good except that the they cut the bottom so short that it just barely covers the multitask and back buttons.
Just curious is the screen in the bottom picture your home screen? Is it some kind of quick glance?
So, was this better then the Mime Ghost Glass?
I have the Zagg glass. Perfectly clear with a good fit. I like it.

I believe the Verizon Note 4 has the worst curve of all the carriers, starts inside of the actual display area.
This Alpha glass might be perfect on the AT&T version.
I have Verizon
Seriously? Are ALL these companies run my idiots?
You would think that these companies would do at-least SOME research, but no.
They just buy in bulk from Asia from the handful of companies all making the same non fitting glass panel.

I haven't received my Alpha glass yet. I really do think the alignment matters. Otterbox claims their Alpha Glass covers mainly the screen area. Therefore, there should hardly be any halo.
The Zagg GLASS also has to be precised placed to avoid possible halo.
The Otterbox Alpha is compatible with the Otterbox Defender Series case. It should take minimal effort to snap in the clips on all four sides of the inner shell of the case. I couldn't get one of the clips to snap in place with the Zagg Tempered GLASS.

Well, I ordered over $100 dollars of Glass protectors. However, I'm returning one piece to Zagg for a refund, and possibly going to sell a couple of other pieces to friends and family. That would make it $0 dollars.
I'll probably keep the Alpha Glass as my only Glass screen protector, in-spite of the halo others are reporting. I'll also keep my HDX from Zagg. For backup, I have '7' PET Xtreme_Guard Screen Protectors for the Note 4 (Good Quality, $3), 6x SuperShieldz for the Note 4 ($5).

It's cause of all the users reporting different results with same color, carrier, and screen protectors. The screen curvature appears to be inconsistent. I am #4 now.
