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??

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!

i've used one of their thin cases before and liked the quality, especially given the cheap price. haven't had any experience with any of their screen protectors, but i'm hoping their quality extends to these new glass screen protectors.
just placed an order. will update once i've installed it.
$14.89 + FS from DX-BOX
Selected and used Japan imported AGC glass material and HARVES nanotechnology with excellent defensive performance. It owns super high transmittance and high restoring the original color of screen. It supports anti-glare coating to prevent glare derivative. Used tempered glass, its hardness up to 9H; scratch-resistant flowers and blowout. Its surface used Nanometer thin oil coating which is anti-fingerprint, oil rub resistance and effectively preventing and filtering ultraviolet ray. It also fused the global advanced screen protector process technology. Its thickness is only 0.3mm with precise CNC cutting technology. 2.5D edging craft make the film fit the screen easily, combine the film and phone body better. At the same time, there will no risk to hurt our hands in the process. It creates perfect edges; make the film thinner, clearer and safer.
Environmental and silicon coating; quicker adsorption and can be reused after cleaning.

Sounds interesting... a similar product can be the Orzly tempered glass,same thickness (0.3 mm).
The problem is that sellers are from China, and that means looong delivery time (for Europe, al least 1 month or two)

As far as experience tells, no orders I've done from China (and I purchased a lot) have been shipped in less than a month... At least, here in Italy. (I live in Milan).
I just bought the Orzly alternative... my guess is these glass screen protectors are more or less equivalent.
I'm scared however as I think the problems we all read about the Spigen product could also be noticeable on these glass protections.
Let me explain that: it's for sure a Spigen's fault, as probably these protectors have been cut on the basis of a CAD/CAM project, before getting in touch with the phone itself. No one could imagine that Nexus 5 front glass could present a slight irregularity before getting the phone in hand.
I wonder then if:
- Nillkin
- Orzly
- (who's next?)
products will overcome the problem.
It's all in the adhesive component, but I doubt they'll use a better silicon than Spigen.
However, for a bit more that 10 EUR including shipping in 3/4 businness days... it's quite worth it

Just ordered with the ePacket option. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up. N5 gets delivered in 9 hours or less . A case I picked up a day or two later, then this maybe next week. I'll leave a review when I get it and I'll get back to you on whether or not it fits with the case I got... Forget which one, I'll check Amazon later.
Just bit the bullet on one from ali, 14 bucks for a 9h tempered and beveled screen protector is a steal!
Netimes have them also. :good:
Any feedback?
Bought 1 from Aliexpress.com too.
And now they're on Amazon but still ship from China. It normally takes about 21 days to receive so for those people who want feedback you can check back here around December 5th.

expensive, but i've heard good things about them.
I just finished fiiting mine up, I'm extremely happy with it. Looks great and feels even better. The only thing I didn't like is that the small film for the camera lens is plastic and not glass like the front, but you do get 4 of them in case you screw up.
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!

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.

What mobile tempered glass screens brands do you trust, Spigen, Orzly, Otterbox & +++
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

I just ordered a Nilkin one from Amazon.. Will update.
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$?
Has anyone found a good tempered glass screen protector that both covers the whole face of the phone but leaves the proximity sensor open? Or have you all found that having a glass protector over the proximity sensor did not affect it at all? I am all over Amazon comparing all kinds of protectors but haven't found "the one" yet.

Looking forward to it.
I just bought this one from amazon ASUS zenfone 2 ZE550ML / ZE551ML Glass Screen protector, VSTN ® Ultra-thin 9H Hardness High Quality HD clear Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector which will be delivered Thursday 5/21..
From the pic and reviews it looks to have the cutout for the proximity sensor & rounded edges.. There isn't a cutout for the front camera which it ok w/me since i don't take selfies and how can it really affect the camera anyhow..
There is a warning post on the zentalk forums saying you don't want a screen protector covering the proximity sensor since it can drop calls and such > [Display / Touch Panel] Screen protector may cause display error when answering the call
Just bought the phone this morning and got the ASUS official PET protector so it has something (plus they are cheap nuff), they should be delivered later today.. then I will swap it for the glass one when it comes in.
Not really a fan of TG. I think GG3 is enough for my zf2.. Got 1 phone for more than a year already.. No scratches w/ just Dragon Tail equipped.
I ordered this one...mainly because I wanted it here in time for the phone...

Unfortunately I can't fit it yet because I am still waiting for the Zf2 to reach me.
Material feels like standard TG protectors. And it reached me pretty fast (Singapore) - less than two weeks. Was expecting some 35 days lead time.

I’m getting a glass screen protector from amfilm. I had theirs on my old LG G3, and it was a pretty good glass screen protector. For this one, I’m expecting a similar experience. Should be arriving in the mail over the weekend. I’ll comment back next week with my thoughts.
I'm having a hard time finding any tempered glass that will ship to Canada & that isn't going to take a month from China. Any leads?
Best I've found is ebay item # 281601192776 (can't post links yet)
but that's still minimum 2 wks shipping for me. My phones here tmrw!
It might be worth the wait... it cost much lesser on eBay and aliexpress, mines arrived in 11 days.
I bought the Nillkin H9+ tempered glass, it feels very smooth, but kinda thick (still very comfy). The glass took forever to apply due of my buttery fingers [emoji16] ,I should've gone to the mall and pay those cell phone boutique guys to do it for me.
Here's a pic of it.

Faster shipping will cost much more than the item itself. And I suggest to get a couple if you are certain the item is the correct one and the price is right. Usually shipping cost the same whether single or up to a certain quantity.
I have had experience where the seller didn't pack it properly and it arrived broken. But they sent a replacement. Well the item costs only $3 but free shipping so I can expect a longer wait. Trade off..

Since I had a couple of $5 gift cards I had earned from Bing I went ahead and ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XONLRSY/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It doesn't cover the bottom but it does have a cutout for the proximity sensor. I will keep looking for one that covers it all, though.
Is it really possible to cover all as in the whole front? In all the various sets that I have seen, the bottom part below the buttons appear to be slightly higher.

My case is Nillkin and I would say it's 98% covered, the remaining gap is the width of a paper, barely noticeable.
@chooks06 I did the same thing mate, bought 2 just in case hehe.

Hey XDA Fam! I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G for my mom and I'm looking for some good looking, protective Cases and a nice quality Screen Protector / Tempered Glass. I have checked a few but I'm unsure if I should go with them. So, I though Ill drop in and ask my XDA Fam for some solid recommendations since you guys have helped me previously and the recommendations I went for have been pretty flawless!
Update Edit: I have purchased the Full-Body Screen Protectors from Gadgetshieldz as recommended and didnt go with the skins this time cause my mom wants to keep it low-key. Ill most get the skins for her later on!
Still in need of a good case recommendation, there are a few on amazon but havent chosen any yet. Any top case suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Hey! Please change the topic from Question to Accessories.
Also, Ive used both tempered and screen protectors from Gadgetshieldz and they both do a good job while also being affordable. I use the Full-Body Screen Protector for my current device cause it covers Screen, Back Panel, Sides, Top, Bottom and Camera Module. Im also concerned about permanent scratches and marks on the Back Panel due to dust secretion cause my previous devices had these permanent scuffs even after using cases from Spigen and UAG. I realised that no matter the case, dust accumulates and causes these permanent marks that reduce the resale value. So I just went ahead with the full body protector to avoid these. Skins are also a good alternative to avoid these marks.
Ill suggest going with this if you dont want to pay too much while also considering quality cause Amazon products are very unreliable and I dont really see the point in paying too much for these cause all other brands like Rhinoshield, dbrand, etc are a bit too expensive.

Ohh I didn't know there is a Full-Body Coverage option for Screen Protectors! I've got their Skins previously and its really good quality! I was also satisfied with their packaging and it shouted quality to me. I still have the Skins on my phone and there hasn't been any reason yet to replace them. I think I shall give the Full-Body Protector a try this time!
Also, any good Case recommendations if any?
Edit: Its been almost a year since I wrapped my Z Fold with Skins from Gadgetshieldz, Posting a Snap of the 1 Year condition of the Skins!
Im surprised its still in perfect condition and the black leather was a solid option for the fold! Im liking it more as I look at it even after a year

I use Matte Screen Protector from Gadgetshieldz and for full body protection, I went with their Skins. My A54 looks extra good with these Skins! Ive been using their screen protectors for ages now and its never failed to disappoint me. Ive always gone with their Full-Body protector for my phones to cover every part of my device but this time I went with their Skins for the body protection because I loved it on my Xiaomi Pad. They are still on and it looks like new! So I got them for the A54 too but this time a different design!
