My review of the amFilm Moto G screen protector

Just received my amFilm screen protectors and have to say they are one of the best plastic screen guards I've used to date. Here is what the company has to say on their amazon page: (then my opinions)
Invisible, superior quality, 3-layer PET film that will not distort the High Definition screen clarity/natural color pallette
Protects screen from daily scratches, dust, scrapes, and normal signs of wear
Attaches smoothly with self-adhering surface, leaves no residue when removed
Includes: (3) Screen Protectors, Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloth, Squeeze Card, Installation Manual
The package I received looks very professional and was undamaged during transit thanks to the bubble wrap envelope they used to send it in. :good:

Inside the packaging, I found the usual items, (squeegee card, microfiber cloth) plus a couple things usually not found with screen protectors, like detailed installation instructions (2 methods described) and dust removal/hinge stickers. Nice touch.
I prefer using the side hinge method of application, but I'm sure vertical application is just as good.
After applying the protector, I went about looking closely at it in different light sources, swiping and tapping my brains out. I have to say that after the initial "break-in" (getting skin oil worked in) I really couldn't tell the difference between the protector and real glass. It's very smooth and hard. Touch response was not affected at all by it, at least I couldn't tell any difference. There is no rainbow effect when viewed closely in the light, and as a matter of fact, it looks like clear glass.
Screen coverage is just about edge to edge, so even without a case, you really can't tell it's on there. Cutouts are perfectly aligned.
It is somewhat oleophobic, but I have yet to see one that is 100% anti skin oil. But good nonetheless. If I didn't tell you I had a screen protector on my phone, you'd be hard pressed to notice it. This is simply the best one I've used so far, and they now have a loyal customer. And, as of this writing, they are only $1.00 for 3 (includes shipping) http://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Invisi...ywords=amfilm+premium+screen+protector+moto+g
I defy you to find a better deal. Great product, awesome price. I would pay $1 per sheet for these, easily. Look no further if you need screen protectors for your G. amFilm makes screen protectors for other phones too.
I would show you how it looks on my phone, but it's invisible!

Ordered a 3 pack on amazon for a dollar!

This isn't a comparison thread. If you want to talk about that particular screen protector, start a new thread.

I bought one the other day. $1 total.
How is it installed? With water or?

Dry install

Just ordered mine of Amazon. Good price and looks really good!

Got mine today!! I ordered it the 13th and Amazon said it was going to come either the 20th or 25th. Pretty damn good.
The installation is very easy, though you have to have stickers ready when doing step 1-2 because otherwise keeping the protector in "place" is sort of hard because its a little slippery. But once you put on the stickers it's very easy to just simply put it on.
The screen quality is great. I don't even notice it's on. Great protector for the price. I did the Hinge Installation by the way. It's very easy. If you don't get it, watch the video they supply in with the QR code in the instruction manual.

I just received my amFilm screen protectors today, and they're pretty good, but I don't have much to compare them to. I've only put screen protectors on two of my phones before. The only thing I'll have to get used to is the fact that swiping from the side, I catch on the edge of the screen protector. I use Sidebar Pro, with my trigger set at the middle of the right edge of the screen. Swiping to open the bar, I catch on the protector, but not badly enough to disrupt what I'm doing. Other than that, so far, so good.

Hi,
your review reads so awesome that I tried to purchase these protectors. However I live in Germany and they do not ship to countries outside the US.
I would like to ask you for a favour: would someone buy these protectors (pref. with prime for free shipping) and then forward them to be in Germany? Can someone guess how much this would be? I would really appreciate this.
Screen protectors here cost about 9-11 USD and I cannot find any reviews.

They are no longer $1.00 on amazon, and now go for $4.95. With shipping, they would be very expensive. You're better off just buying what's available in Germany.

So they don't get unresponsive? I've had some on my Pico which did.

after removing the crap screen protector that came with my otterbox commuter case, which had an insane amount of glare and made the screen so unresponsive it was frustrating, this HD clear screen protector by amfilm truly delivers as op stated. there is now zero glare and the touch responsiveness is pin point accurate! I'm one very satisfied customer. thank you for the recommendation sir.

X-PROTECTIONS Nexus 5 Premium Tempered Glass - Lowest price - Review Updated

http://www.xprotections.com/products/Google_Nexus_5_Screen_Protector_Premium_Tempered_Glass.htm
$3.15 + $4 shipping = $7.15. Still the lowest price for tempered glass I've ever seen. They also have for another model like Samsung S5 or iPhone 5S.
No review yet. Pretty much new company. From China of course. (not surpised when it come to this price). Look around and OMG, price start at $2. I know this may be crap but seriously, this is so cheap, dirt cheap.
Some infos I found from this company:
http://www.gcoupon.com/view/companies/248074/Xprotections.html
From Mar 2014.
Short review:
The package was fine. The glass have oleophobic coating for sure. This glass fit very well in my screen without any bubble, not like a Nillkin. Just remove my Nillkin and apply without any issues. For someone who said the nexus 5 screen is a hole's problem, not the Nillkin glass, I am highly doubt it. In fact, I may got a lemon with this Nillkin. Anyway, the screen is perfect fit and so smooth. I am so satisfied.
The quality is solid. Below is a picture of this glass's thickness. I cannot say much about it's quality now as I just received it today, will update the review after few weeks using. But first impression was good and nothing to complain
It came with cleaning kit like other tempered glass.
The shipping speed was fast. It's China Post Air Mail but only 9 days (include weekend).
I can say with this price range this thing is amazing value. Highly recommend.
Here are some picture when I open the package. Sorry I don't have a camera to make a vid when apply it, but this thing is pretty similar like Nillkin glass. I will get more photo when I borrow one from my bro.

I got a Nillkin too, but after about 10 times applied and re-applied my screen still had a big hole in the bottom (not affect the screen view), which is so annoying for me so I got this to replace. If this sucks I lost 7 bucks and apply the Nillkin back. After all it's just 7 bucks. I suggest you guys get this as a backup. Well, Nillkin was originally China product but it's proved to be good brand until now. With this unbeatable price this one may worth a try.
And btw, Paypal accepted.

that website is super shady. no ssl at all, plain order forms, no email verification, domain registered to "mr protector screen".
no thanks, but good luck.

You do know that the bubble at the bottom of the screen is because the Nexus 5 screen is not 100% flat right? It is not because of the Nillkin screen protector. It happens with all of the tempered glass screen protectors. You just need to really rub it out hard or use a small clamp with soft cloth between the clamp and screen.
Just do a search here and you'll see pretty much everyone having this problem regardless of which screen protector they are using.

Anyone running this?

I do. Just got an e-mail from them say my glass had been shipped. Will do a review whenever I got it.

Usually these cheap screen protectors come without any oleophobic coating on it which makes the screen/glass very tough to glide your finger over.

Just received my glass today from them. A short review was updated.

There are plenty of sub-$5 glass screen protectors on eBay. Don't think you can go wrong with any. Although some have three cutouts instead of two...

Can I order it in India??? Have someone ordered this from India??
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I actually have ordered screen protectors from this website for my cousins' iphone 5s and galaxy s5 and they say that the glass seems to be holding up pretty well. I actually plan on ordering one as well just to replace my nillikin just in case it breaks. How are the edges? Are the rounded just like the nillikin? Just wondering because that's the only way for me to get my case to fit properly.

Agree to this it is not an issue with the protector but rather the nexus screen itself as the tempered glass does not stick at the bottom we need to press to apply it properly whereas in some nexus it just fit smooth

How is X-PROTECTIONS holding up after 5 months?
Are you still using X-PROTECTIONS Google Nexus 5 Screen Protector Premium Tempered Glass? If yes, how is it holding up? Please kindly offer update after five months of usage, thank you!

As far as I know. But, I'm sure once Spigen releases theirs, all the copy cats will be releasing their versions short after. But if you want to wait for at least another month, then go for it lol. I'm happy with my official ones that resist fingerprints.

it says on the box 28% thinner.. Thinner than what exactly? Its their first release!

Just got an email from Spigen today. They Amazon page said shipping on 30 September, and I ordered it. But Spigen says they won't be shipping until mid-October. They gave me a code for 30% of anything from their store for my being inconvenienced.

Spigen is a trustworthy brand, you can count on them to get it right. I've purchased tempered glass protectors as well as their cases for the past couple years, and many others will vouch for them. As for the whole 28% thinner thing its them marketing themselves as the thinnest glass protection available.

zagg has a screen protector for 14.99 just in case anybody wanted something less expensive...i found one for 75 cents! ehe

Just ordered one (the Spigen, not the Zagg). Supposedly ships 10/15.
I currently have the official Moto one, so I'll be sure to let everyone know how it compares.

Is it possible to review the protector when you get it? I still can't decide which one to get.

Yes, I'll be reviewing it, and comparing it to the official Moto protector, which is what I have now.

I'm patiently waiting for reviews. I've got tempered glass on all my devices. I've got the Spigen in my Amazon cart. Just waiting to pull the trigger.

same here! waiting for a real life review

Okay, here's my short (yeah, right) and sweet review:
I ordered the Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM product from Amazon. I got the email that it shipped on 10/9, and I got the product via USPS mail on 10/16, so it definitely ships via budget (i..e. slow) shipping. However, since it wasn't even supposed to ship until 10/15, I was pretty happy.

The packaging is pretty nice, and contains everything needed to protect the product, and the tools needed to install it.
From the picture, you can see it comes with cleaning wipes, squeegee, a card containing a serial number, little dust-removal stickers, instructions, and the protector itself. The first step of the instructions say to wipe the screen with "the micro-fiber cloth," but one wasn't included. I'm not sure if one was supposed to be there or not, but luckily, I have my own.
The protector went on super easy, although I have to say, it's not as easy as you'd think getting one small circle completely centered on another. I'm not ashamed to admit that it took a couple tries. Fortunately, the protector has two protective films, one for the front and one for the back, and the front one has a couple tabs you can kind of use to hold it, so that you can see the entire circle. That front one also allows you to squeegee the bubbles out (although I didn't really have any), and press down on the protector without fear of scratching anything.
But I'm sure all that you really want to know is, "How does it feel?" Well... it's thick. Noticeably thick. It supposedly has a curved upper ridge so that your fingers will just slide right over the edge, but if it does, it either doesn't work, or I'd hate to see how it'd feel without it. My fingers definitely feel that ridge every time I'm swiping from the extreme edge.
That's not to say that it's annoying, but it does take some getting used to. My official Moto protector didn't seem to get cut quite right, and it had a spot about 45 degrees long (in a 360 degree circle) where the edge could literally be seen when looking straight down. Even at that spot, which is the only place I could really feel it, it still wasn't nearly as noticeable as this Spigen protector.
On the flip side, I had my Moto protector for about 3 weeks, and already ended up with a couple scratches on it. I have a feeling that this Spigen protector will be a bit harder to scratch (although I haven't had it long enough to really say), so there's your trade-off.
Get past the edge though, and this protector definitely feels like the original glass. I thought my Moto protector was smooth, and it may certainly be in my head, but this one does feel a bit smoother. However, it also seems to be a bit stickier in certain situations, such as when your finger is slightly wet... as it would with the original glass.
Fingerprints don't seem to be an issue, and just wipe away with my shirt, but I can definitely say that they wiped away a bit easier on the Moto protector. I think that's because the Moto protector wasn't quite as clear, and hid the post-wipe smudges a bit better. Speaking of clarity... wow, this Spigen is clear. When I turn my 360 to a relatively sharp angle to my eyes, the Moto protector would seem to "fog" just a bit, making it really stand out. Not so with the Spigen. No matter the angle, you can see the edge, but otherwise, it's completely invisible. The clarity really just doesn't compare.
Here are a couple pictures that show the thickness of the two protectors. Sorry, I didn't have my SLR with its macro lens available, so I took these with my phone, but I think you can still tell the difference. See if you can tell which one is which.
Spoiler:
The bottom one is the Spigen.
To summarize, I'd say that the Spigen is definitely the better protector, compared to the Official Moto protector. Its only strike is that it is noticeably thick, and you will definitely catch that edge from time to time when swiping. However, it's certainly clearer, and since the Moto protector is relatively soft plastic, I'm sure the Spigen is more durable and scratch resistant (although, I can't say for certain on that last item).
I think you'd be happy with either protector, and the cost difference is very small between the two kits, making them very comparable. However, you do get two Moto protectors for the $15 list price, vs one Spigen protector for the $20-ish Amazon price, making the Moto the better deal on paper. Factor in clarity and durability though, and the Spigen is definitely a contender.

Thanks for the review! When I applied the $15 one I didn't notice much difference in clarity, but maybe I didn't have my glasses on. The thing is, we generally don't apply screen protectors to watches. The two reasons why I applied one are 1) Protecting the resale value. And 2) the finger print is definitely way less noticeable on the protector than the original glass.
Did you notice a difference in the oleophobic coating department?

Thanks for the review. I have been using the Spigen Glas.Tr for my Galaxy S4 and Note 3, never look back at plastic screen protectors ever since! I have gotten the Moto Care Kit, but the Spigen will definitely be in the next Moto 360 accessories list for me.
Oh a quick one, what about screen sensitivity, especially at the edge when you swipe, say Wear Mini Launcher? Was it sensitive enough when you pull the drawer from the edge?

What Screen protectors do people usually go for, do you just buy normal no brand screen protectors from online market place? or do you spend a bit more money and go for well recognized brand such as Spigen, Orzly,Ottorbox & Nillkin.

I personally don't use screen protector but from the consensus, a lot of people prefer using orzly tempered. Spigen, otterbox does not offer protectors for the opo.

In the past I've gone for Spigen. Although a little pricier, I like to think I'm paying for the packaging, quality assurance, and simply the quality of the product itself. I tend to be pretty prone to cracking my screens so I go for the glass ones which actually have protected my screen 3+ times since I've started buying them. I say it's cheaper and easier than replacing a whole screen itself and it doesn't really affect usability. I also like how on the Spigen, the sides aren't sharp and moreso curved or whatever.
Only thing is I have heard people complain about it chipping on the side but I'm pretty rough with my phone and I have yet to have that happen for myself. Only cracks due to....being dropped and etc.

I’ve used Orzly and saved my phone. It’s a very good product

Have bought and used two Nillkins, nothing but good things to say

Nillkin Tempered 9h FTW. They're cheap. They're awesome.
Transmitted via Bacon

Only used Orzly on this and my moto g. Did replace the moto g after about 6 months as it got a light crack and scratches but otherwise if applied properly it's hard to notice it's on there.
Also I find it smoother than the original screen so it's better for swiping, has anyone else noticed that?

I saw one Orzly review on youtube and noticed a scratch, so I ordered the Ultimate Shield. These two are my favs, but that scratch made me switch to Ultimate Shield.

I also use the Ultimate sheild, really easy to fit and a great fit as well, still looking perfect a month later.

Spartan shield from XtremeGuardz,works perfectly

I'm using UltimateShield for my OPO. its barely to notice and it feels even better than the original screen.

Nillkin Tempered +1 The best and cheaper.

I have a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector and I love it. It's one of the cheapest also (I bought it for $10, it's $7 now I think), less than half than Orzly's. The "consensus" that Orzly protectors are superior stem from one guy on Reddit who said it was the best one out there and that got repeated a bunch of times until it was accepted as fact. I don't think many people have actually compared several brands.

Where is it for 7$?

Case recommendations?

Can anybody recommend a case for the S2? Most makers will make the same case for the 8.0 and 9.7" so we can keep them all here.
The official tablet cases don't look too easy to hold.

Have you tried it, I think its good.

I think the official book cover is good. It's nice and slim :laugh:

I went with a Ledo case because I don't like traditional cases adding additional bulk. It's made for an iPad mini but it fits my 710 perfectly!

Wow, both cases I like better than anything else I have seen. Can you provide any info on where to find either, especially the first one?

I got it direct from china, so no link available, your only option is from amazon, ebay or aliexpress, although you might not be able to get them for my price.

As much as I like to save, I do notice quality differences between those cheapy ones and the slightly more expensive so called brand name ones. Smudges and fingerprints for example, wipes off easily from my Skinomi on the note 5 whereas the cheap $1.99 ones from ebay not so much.

I've tried many glass protectors, the only ones I call quality are those made from Korea, but those cheap one from china will do for me, used them for many years, not a single problem, I'm very careful with my stuff, used them to protect from scratches:fingers-crossed:.

Official Book Cover for Tab S2
Hey guys, I just bought the Official Book Cover for the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" version. I'll drop a review video this time next week. Got the black and the gold for my wife. Until then here are some pics. BTW...It's a pretty awesome case!

I got the roocase and I love the vertical stand. I also have the skinomi glass screen protector.

I ordered this one and it looks nice, but the tablet has to be perfectly even or it closes shut. It is also very awkward to open, do not recommend.

Well these came in today. Both were cheap and both fit and function perfectly.

ProCase A fantastic, sturdy, durable folio case for only usd $10. 10 freakin dollars. Seriously is the best $10 I've ever spent.
Paired it with this tempered glass: OMOTON® Tempered-Glass Protector

Anyone who is thinking of the Fosmon TPU and regular clear screen protectors from amazon I just got them. The screen protectors are fine. The case is a very tight fit. Too tight actually that the bottom lip gets pulled back from the surface of the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Here are some pictures of the roocase, so many different ways to rest the tablet, vertical or horizontal. The tablet also has the skinomi glass screen protector.

See for me I mainly read laying down in bed on my back. It's the only time I use the tablet and it's just for may e a half hour a day. Like now just before bed.
Anyway, coming from the nexus 7 this tablet I'd very hard to hold like this. Very hard to type on though SwiftKey split keyboard helps. It's also really hard to hold above you in suspended form.
The official case while nice doesn't seem to offer much grip. It can make the tablet wider but that's not going to be easy to hold.
I tend to not like cheap cases because with my experience they smell terrible. I have a case for my nexus 7 from Omatom or whatever and it still stinks a year later.
I think a case with a hand strap is probably best for me. What do you guys think?

Hi, I got an origami type case/cover from eBay. It really is good as it folds to hold the tablet vertical or horizontal on a table.
