thanks for highlighting this and your review
shame you didn't have experience with glas.t to directly compare but it is always nice to see alternatives to the glas.t.... i know one issue with the glas.t protector is that you only have one shot at placing it so this is a welcoming entry

I have done own installation with 3m privacy protector... may i know if the feeling on the screen is comparable to that?

Dont know how your film feels but this is like.glass. Update my newton rings came back.... Seller agreed to replace.... Will now see how easy it is to remove. Tried heating up and using nails but wont budge. I guess cuz its glass.. Will try to use masking tap and hair dryer.

UPDATE : After 3 days of failing to remove the screen protector myself i finally contacted the seller who came to meet me to remove the Xtreme glass screen protector. I had tried heating it up. Prying it out with a screw driver and needle. All failures. Matter of fact i damaged my note's beezel. Was in panic mode. The seller took 5 seconds to remove the screen protector using only his nails. LOL. Make me look like a moron. But kudos to the seller. Now that its removed i see why the hairdryer did not work. The glue used is the normal double sided tape glue and its a very very thin layer along the sides. So sliding it off your phone wont work. The best and easiest way apparently is to just pry it open with your nails!

If it was SO good, why did you remove it?

agree why did the problem arise? What did the seller say about the problem?
however compared to the other glass.t protector, at least you can reapply.
I read in the Glass.t thread even after being very careful applying, some people found dust under the protector..but then you're stuck cause you cant pull it off and reapply
I guess with this you can lift off and use scotch tape to remove the dust from underneath ??

i didnt say it was SOOOO good. there were pros and cons. lol. I took it out cuz i decided i didnt like that metallic style borders. i wanted mine plain. so i decided to try GlasT as well so i can compare side by side.
now that i have glasT, the main obvious differences for me is
The type of glue used. GlasT is silicone based glue and it sticks evenly everywhere in the screen like a normal screen protector. The Xtreme however only has adhesive double sided like, at the sides. Which means there is actually a little gap between the X Treme glass and the note's screen. So if its humid and u aint careful i think the Xtreme can get newton rings pretty easily. No such issue on GlasT.
However i noticed the GlasT is actually easier to get smudges on compared to the Xtreme glass SP. The type of the glass is different as well, judging by knocking my nails against them. The Xtreme felt much more harder, brittle like, while the SGP GlasT felt a little softer.

So i guess your recommendation would be the Glass.t then..

Tempered Glass pros and cons vs Film screen protectors?

What the pros and cons of tempered glass screen protector vs a Film screen protector?
My concern about the Tempered glass is that :
--it's adhesive is only on the bezel area and since phones today have smaller bezel so it might get detached easily
--Tempered Glass might scratch the glass beneath it
--If adhesive of the Tempered glass became less sticky Dust might accumulate inside
So can you tell me your experience with tempered glass screen protector? I really want to hear from someone who used this screen protector for long time and not on these reviews on youtube since they only used it on the time they review it.
And also does anyone tried using combination of Film and T.glass protectors?

I also second this. Anyone that has this screen protector please respond.

I just found out that Spigen is selling a new type of tempered Glass screen protector it is "GLAS.T" it's different from the old one. This new one is all transparent and has adhesive all through-out the back part of the screen protector, unlike the old one which has paint on the borders and only adhesive on the painted area.

Spigen has GLAS.T for Note 1 Anyone that used the product for about 5-6 months now?

I have a tempered glass screen protector for my Note 3 and it fits and works perfectly. It's been on my phone for 2 months now. Not a single scratch to it and no peeling or dust accumulation at all. I would recommend one any time over a plastic protector. I got mine from a company called fasttech. They are very cheap compared to UK sellers and the company is very reliable even considering that they are Chinese.

Tempered glass has an adhesive throughout the whole surface, not only the bezel/perimeter area.
The difference is very simple. If you want scratch protection, get a film screen protector, but make sure to get quality PET 3H hardness film like the one sold by iSmooth and Spigen. Cheap ebay stuff is thin, will scratch, will bubble after some time, and will have rainbow effect under the florescent light. If you want ultimate shatter protection - get tempered glass. On impact the glass will shatter without affecting your display. Spigen and Seidio makes some of the best ones. I'm personally a big fan of Seidio VITREO and been using it on my Note 2 for a very long time.

for LG g2 temperate glass or we don't have to buy anything

I use the tempered glass for the LG G2, i think its better than a film protector.
No bubbles nothing, very clean. if you dont look at the edges u wont see there is a protector.

i've really no bubbles, just use the type method to remove bubles cause by dust.
the cons is that film protector changes a bit the polarization of my glass so it has more strange effect on very high view angle

The advantages of T. glass over films are the following.
-. Scratch - (almost)free : sellers boast it is harder than stock display, but I don't agree with. Glass screen protector also gets scratch.
-. Superb feeling : yes. its feeling is real better even stock display including any premium film. http://vimeo.com/91463403
-. Bubble -Free : Yes. it is easy to install and you don't worry about bubble.
Disadvantages
-. Price : $5~40 : I have tried $5 and 40 as well. I don't recommend both $5 and $40. you can find good one between them.
-. Thickness :0.15~0.4mm : Compared to film, it is bulky. Sometimes it won't be compatible with certain cases. (I don't recommend too thin one, since it is easy to brake before doing its protection job)

i have used a glass screen protector for the last month until it broke when i dropped my phone from hip height. i am extremely satisfied by the product. as it is rigid, it is very easy to apply and in contrast with plastic film protectors, the tempered glass lets your fingers glide on the screen. i was also impressed by the fact that after 1 month's use my phone had zero scratches, even though i was kind of provoking scratches by the way i was handling the phone. never going back to plastic film, not a slight chance there.

I've run a gauntlet recently with screen protectors and cases with my galaxy s7 edge. I can definitely tell you the pros and cons between tempered glass and soft film screen protectors.
Tempered glass pros- much sturdier, better scratch resistance, looks better. Easier to install. Longer field life. Better phone protection all around.
Tempered glass cons: some cases won't work with tempered glass unless it has a top that fully covers the glass. Dust buildup under screen protector, less sensitivity- much less. Won't work with an otterbox symmetry because the sides and front push the glass up and out but does work with the defender because the defender covers the edge of the screen. If sand or dirt gets underneath glsss, it could scratch up your screen. Very thick too.
PET film pros- better sensitivity, will work with any phone case. Sturdy enough for the most part. No issues with dust buildup under the cover. Works with any case and has better adherence. Very thin.
PET cons- they look cheap and scratch more easily than tempered glass and you can tell that the phone has a screen protector. Harder to install. The protector scratches but the phone screen doesn't. Shorter field life.
Personally, I prefer PET film screen protectors to tempered glass but to be fair, I have an edge phone and glass screen protectors with edge phones can be more finicky than flat phones. Glass looks better, but aside from drop protection and looks, they don't keep the dirt out and can be a chore with the wrong kind of cases, or simply won't work.
I think film is much more versatile and I'm willing to trade some aesthetics in favor of usability. That's my 2 cents on both types of screen protectors based on recent experience.

And liquid bubbles with soft cases go away in a few days. Air must be popped and dust must be removed physically but moisture does dry out. You can tell a moisture bubble because it has rainbow swirls if you view the phone on a screen with a white background.
Don't try to iron out small moisture bubbles or press them out. They go away on their own within a week and if you mess with them you can bend your soft screen protector out of shape or get divot lines.

Also, if the soft screen protector has the oleophobic coating, it does work very well, in fact it's almost if not better about prints and crap on the screen than actual glass screens. Plus, tempered glass can be a problem on certain phones.
My friend has a note 5 with a tempered glass screen protector and he dropped his phone (no case) so instead of the screen shattering, the back of the phone did. Protectors work, but if you have a glass coated phone- better have a case on it.

[Protector] Tempered Glass Protector (Unboxing and Installation)

The courier delivered a tempered glass type protector from China this morning and I have some spare time to install it in the afternoon. This protector is actually a sample from the manufacturer and I have rejected several of them previously due to the poor placement of cutouts. I did not even bother installing them coz the cutouts were just so so misaligned and I doubt if they are for P600 while I am having a P605 (This is the reason the manufacturer gave although I wonder if the button placement are THAT different between P600 and P605).
This one should be the third one and it is reasonably fit for my P605. It doesn't have any indication on its thinkness and by the look of it I guess it's the common 0.05mm type.
In Short:
Pros:
- The protector is WAY*100 better than the traditional clear plastic protector I had on the P605.
- It's clear (oops... ). Crystal CLEAR!
- VERY smooth to write on with the S-Pen (NO more dragging by the plastic protector) This is the MOST important point! I can live with those traditional plastic screen protectors on phones / pads with no pens but with S-Pen I need a MUCH better writing experience. This is DEFINITELY a personal preference coz I am a fountain pen lover and has always been VERY demanding on writing surfaces.
- The edges of the protector and around area around the cutouts are smooth (but not those tapering curved ones as the one I have on my Note 3).
- I guess one does not need to worry about this protector in fear that it will scratch the screen if it is smashed coz I smashed the one on my Note 2 but it had caused absolutely no harm to the screen.
Cons:
- Obviously, expensive. Way more expensive than those plastic one yet it lasts longer.
- And there aren't too many manufacturers making tempered glass protector for P605. I guess may be the Note 10.1 2014 just isn't popular enough YET. The market is flooded with tempered glass protector for IPAD and Note III but not for P600/P605.
- Not AS resistant to scratches as you may think. The one on my Note III was scratched after three days and I still did not know why (Not with keys or sharp objects in the pocket but it was scratched). Er...a mystery huh.
- Not compatible with some cases.... especially those bumpers. I use a metal bumper on my Note III and it can't be "assembled" (The slot-type) due to the added thickness of the protector. On Note 10.1 2014, I use the original book case so NO problem so far. I would love to have a metallic bumper for my P605 tho. Still yet to find one.
- You can feel the WEIGHT of it. It adds a bit weight to the already-quite-heavy tablet .
- May be a bit difficult to install but I can say it's FAR FAR easier than installing the plastic one. Just do it slowly... don't rush it... then... OK!
The Installation and my experience with it
The installation is about the same as the way we install the plastic one tho it's a lot easier. There is a trick: peel the 1st layer (marked with a label) of the non-sticky film diagonally half way down and careful align the cutouts with the Home button and the sensors. After aligning them, pull the remaining half away from the corner underneath
and SLOWLY.... REMEMBER SLOWLY and SOFTLY put little pressure on it at the center. This will stick the protector onto the screen while not too strong that you can still move the protector around with your nails by pushing it on the sides. After inspecting closely that there is no dust and the alignment is perfect, just apply little force smoothly across the surface and peel off the blue film on the surface of the protector then ..........YEAH... your screen is now very well protected!
After playing it for about two hours now, what I like most is the smoothness when writing on it. Definitely unbeatable on this. I use the Samsung S-Pen Holder Kit on it and it turns writing and drawing on P605 even more enjoyable. I enjoy sketching on it.
Reflection may be a problem when reading... em...but I like the crystal clear screen a lot more now.
My Verdict on P605's accessories:
Emm... It is one of the best accessories I have bought so far for my P605.... I recommend getting a tempered glass protector and the Samsung S-Pen holder kit to my friends.
The original book cover is a short term solution until there are more options on the market (hope there will be)
I will DIY a leather case anyway during the holiday anyway
Photos of the protector are attached. You can see the edges of it are still 2-3mm away from the rim of the tablet. Macro photos showing the cut outs too.
** Update: The protector claims to have an Oleophobic coating yet it stills attract fingerprint quite easily. A gentle swipe with a clean cloth can clean it.

Mind sharing the link to buy this screen protector ?

Mocolo Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S4 mini

Bought this one and loved. Much better than the plastic ones while using the phone. (remove the spaces on the link)
www . amazon . com /gp/product/B00O1N7GZE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I actually ordered one yesterday. I hope it will do it's job
gonna take off my protective cover and rely on the glass

glass is so much better than plastic. The feel, the transparency and its longevity is amazing compare with plastic. Plus very easy to keep clean with either a tissue or cloth.
However, there is a downside. And it is its thickness. Plastics protectors are usually under 0.1mm thick. While glass ones are usually between 0.2 to 0.35mm.

For me the plastic one is harder. It is very easy to remove the bubbles when installing the glass one.

Thanks, looks like it worth a try!

Tempered glass everytime, the plastic PET film ones are horrible. I got a Pureglas screen protector for my S4 Mini Plus from eBay for less than a fiver. Excellent screen protector, very easy to fit with no bubbles. The size is a few mm smaller than the actual screen and has all the cutouts including for the home button.

Tempered glass
The greatest difference is that tempered glass really protect your expensive screen of breaking it and plastic protectors, protects only from scratches.

Mocolo
Sorry guys but i can't recommence the mocolo tempered glass protector. thats simply caused by not exactly fitting on my s4 mini. material is really good and feels much more comfortable than other protectors made from plastics. but IT DOES NOT FIT THE DIMENSIONS of the i9195. there is a spacing of 1-2 mm on each site and around the menu button.

Tempered glass protector for the back glass?

When I first got my S8+, I was worried the back glass would scratch easy (turns out I was right ), so I wanted to protect it, even though I knew I would have a case on it. I've seen dirt get between phones and cases before and cause horrible scratches.
I first tried a clear wet application skin from BSE, but I could never make it look right. The midnight black shoes every imperfection and bubble, whereas my wife's Orchid Grey looks perfect with the skin on. You can't tell it's there, even on the sides.
So I began thinking it would be nice if someone made a tempered glass protector for the back. The sides are curved, but so is the screen, and there's plenty of TGSPs on the market. But I couldn't find any.
Then last week I saw one on Amazon. It comes with a full screen TGSP, a TGP for the back, and a TGP for the camera. Link is below.
It appears the back protector is like other TGSPs. It has no glue on the middle, just along the edges. That's not a big deal, as I would apply it like I did my TGSP. I would remove the adhesive strip on the edge and use LOCA to adhere it fully to the phone. Most camera lens TGPs get horrible reviews on Amazon, so it would likely go in the trash.
I'm trying to decide what to do. Here are my pros and cons, but I wanted everyone else's opinion, and also want to know if anyone else has any experience with this set. Again, I'm currently using a TGSP for the screen, so this is a question about the TGP for the BACK.
Pros:
*Protection for the back cover as well as the front.
*Protects from scratches and adds some drop protection
*Protectors are both glass, so it would still feel like a naked device.
*Back protector is Crystal clear, and with LOCA, would show off the beautiful black back glass without any bubbles, glare, etc.
*Glass doesn't get marks and dents like wet application protectors.
Cons:
*It would (probably) be too thick to use a case, so increased chance of damage if dropped.
*These TGSPs typically use cheap oleophobic coatings, so it would still be a fingerprint magnet on the back.
*This would leave a ridge around the screen and the back protector, so it MAY make it uncomfortable to hold.
*No protection for the side frame
*It will scratch (but can always be replaced)
*I wish the cutouts were more precise. I'd like three separate cutouts for camera and sensors, not one big one. Would make it more seemless.
Again, looking for other thoughts and opinions and any experience.
No offense, but if all you have to say is that you go naked and have no scratches, or that you don't like screen protectors, then please don't reply. I'm not interested in a screen protector debate. I'm only interested in your opinions about this particular set and using a protector on the back. Also, I know about the liquid nano stuff and have no interest in it. I've seen all the reviews.
Thanks!
