Cheap Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I came across this tempered glass screen protector from Orzly on Amazon UK. It costs less than £6 delivered.
Edit - price has now gone up
http://amzn.to/19VMPso
Orzly accessories get pretty good reviews and their tempered glass screen protector for the Nexus 5 was generally recommended on XDA before the price went up. Definitely worth a try at this price.
Looks like Nillkin now do one for £9.99 delivered. I have a Nillkin tempered glass protector on my Nexus 5 and it's great

It's a shame they don't ship to other countries than UK, I think. (at least, they don't ship to Portugal)

Just ordered one

I won't be getting one, as I have already invested in 7 regular screen protectors that will last me the lifetime of my G. But let us know what you think of them.

Does anyone know of one that ships from the US yet?

Did you check ebay?

Doesn't that tempered glass screen protector defeat the purpose of the glass screen and a screen protector? I would think by doubling the screen's thickness (essentially), you'd be making it harder thus easier to break on a drop. As for scratching, I'm not sure why people are so worried, it's Gorilla Glass 3. Having owned several GG products, it is very very herd to scratch the screen unless you plan on carrying sharp stones with your phone in your pocket while you are doing jumping jacks.

Yes, there are sellers who are shipping to the USA but the shipment times are 15-25 days. I am looking for someone in the USA.

The tempered glass has a silicone adhesive on the backside of it that also acts as a buffer. And direct impacts that would normally break the screen are completely absorbed by the glass protector and it breaks instead. PET or other plastic screen protectors only prevent scratches. I would rather replace a 10-15$ screen protector than a 100$ screen.

Anyone knows a seller who ships to Europe?
Edit; How about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-3mm-Premi...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item54037fc8a0

Got mine today, ordered before the amazon price went up... Ive never used a glass screen protector before and didn't realise how bad plastic ones are.
It's a perfect fit, other that one spec of dust about 2mm from the edge you'd never know there was a screen protector on!
No camera or senior holes, just a speaker hole, but everything seems to work just fine.

Thank you for your review. It is much nicer to have only the speaker cutout instead full of holes
Did you buy Orzly 0.3mm from ebay.de and how much did you pay?

That's the one, but I bought it from Amazon uk for just under £6 with shipping.
Incidentally, the dust mark has just about disappeared now

I just ordered the super cheap one on eBay that ships from hong Kong. When I get it 3 weeks from now I will let you all know how it is.

Ok thanks. I just placed my order on ebay.com. I have paid £10,90 (shipping included), it is not as cheap as yours but I think it's worth the money.

I've been treating my moto g like a baby and having it as sole item in my pocket and it has micro scratches that you can see in bright sunlight. I've also seen a galaxy note 3 (gorilla glass 3) from a Samsung rep with an awfully scratched screen (admittedly in his pocket with keys)

I've written a review which should be up on Amazon within 48h. Basically I'll never buy another plastic screen protector again, this glass one is great for £9.99.
The clarity is fantastic, the feel is better than the original (imo) and the only disadvantage is the lack of cut outs for the camera.
Its also really easy to use swype or other similar keybaords now because my thumb doesn't stick.

I have found this Flexible Glass that might be intersted but it is a little expensive.
http://swiss-case.com/collections/by-device/moto-g/truglass-flexible-glass-for-moto-g.html

Anyone have any links to the Orzly one that has stock/is not being sold at an extortionate rate? Not willing to may £13 when I know it was available for £6 in the past.

Got the glass one in from hong Kong. Came extremely well packed and got it installed in about a minute.
It fits the phone perfectly and feels much better than then plastic protector that I had on the phone before hand. I am still trying to decide if it has made the touch screen less responsive, but I believe that it is more than worth it.
Any additional questions just let me know.

XtremeGuard Spartan Tempered Glass Screen Protector

So extremeguard recently came out with their new tempered glass priced at $40 http://www.xtremeguard.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/lg-nexus-5-screen-protector.htm
If you use coupon code HUGE90OFF2 when you buy two or more it will be 90% off, so two screen protectors worth $80 will come down to $8 what a good price! Even if i don't own a nexus 5 just wanted to share with you guys ^^

Out of stock still.

Out of stock and also not by Xtremeguard. $39.99 before "discount"? That's a joke.
If you're in the US you can buy it for $6.99 all the time off of ebay. Yes, slightly more expensive than their 90% off group of 2, but just shows you the ridiculous price Xtremeguard is normally charging for a product that isn't even theirs.

Did yours come in a generic iphone packaging? I was really confused. I thought they sent me the wrong product. I opened it and it does look like it's supposed to but it was just really weird.
Also, if anyone tried, how easy is it to peel off?

I'm using the xtremeguard one right now. Obviously didn't pay 40 bucks for it. Honestly it's my favorite accessory for my phone. The glass feels a bit beveled and it reminds me if the edged on the nexus 4, how they used to be so smooth. I'm sure all the tempered glass protectors feel like this but this is the one I have.

Hmm, interesting. The packaging was completely different for me. Yours looks like the actual packaging from the ebay page. Mine Also says USA126 on it, but it's some generic packaging with an iphone on the front. However, inside everything looks the same as what you got. The pad, protector, cloth, and that same blue sticker. I put on the protector yesterday and so far I do like it a lot. Also, I'm not sure if the sticker was meant for this, but instead of wiping it down with the alcohol pad, I used the sticker to pick up all of the dust before applying the protector and it worked extremely well.

Still out of stock. Might hit up that ebay screen protector.

Does the eBay protector cover side to side or is it rounded off the corners so cases don't pick it up. How's the adhesive on it? Any webbing? Does it stick fully? These eBay protectors aren't always the best. How about the oleophobic coating?

The edges appear to be rounded, they haven't picked up at all with my case. The adhesive is great, no webbing, and it adhered fully. I cleaned the phone VERY well, took off the backing from the screen protector, and gently placed it on the phone. I was surprised that I didn't have to press hard to make it seal, or do the binder clip thing that other people have talked about. I'm very happy with mine, and for $6 it's the best screen protector I have ever bought.

This makes me wish I hadn't bought my full price spigen glasTr. There's no way it's 4 times as good as this.

So far I'm happy with the 6 dollar one I bought. It came in wrong packaging, but the product itself seems fine. I use the nexus 4 replica case and it fits very well. I think I had a bit of spiderwebbing but I pressed on it with my finger and it went away. I did notice a very tiny speck of dust I must have must underneath but its not always visible even though I know where it is. There's seems to be a very small scratch on the bottom and top corner. I'm not sure if that's something underneath but again, it's hardly visible and it's not on the screen part so I don't mind.

It's not bad, I've only had it since May but so far no chips and fits great with both the slim armor and the acase superleggra . Fingerprints do show but they are easy to clean. I forget it's there, it's a ton better than any plastic screen protector and spigens customer support is great. When I installed the first one a corner didn't adhere, not sure if it was my fault but spigen sent me a new one free of charge.

Wow It was really kind of then to send you a replacement for free! Is the GLAS.tR case friendly? I've already ordered a Spigen Ultra Fit case from eBay, and it's on the way, I just wanna make sure that it's going to fit properly.

This brings it down to 6.00

Just used Mega90off2 and works! You need to add two items in the cart. I put in a dry install screen protector 5.99 and the spartan for 49.99. With 90% off, the order came to 5.60 shipped. For a screen protector AND tempered glass protector. Even if the tempered glass sucks like most do, I have a screen protector as back up lol.

Ringke screen protectors...

Finally went live on Amazon. $6.99 for a pack of 4. These are my favorite mainstream screen protectors. My favorite isn't sold for many phones. Power support makes one helluva slippery screen protector and they are more scratch resistant than these. But they usually cost 2 for $20-25, or $15 if you get them on sale but as me times before power support isn't sold for many phones. So I get the Korean made Ringke and use rain x to add some slip to it and rain beads off faster to boot.

Does it fully cover the glass?

I don't know yet. From pictures looks like it covers more than the screen, but not all the way to the curved edges. And of course cut out for ffc and the sensors next to it. I'm buying 2 packs anyways. These are probably the best bet for now.

Please post pictures, I have gone through different screen protectors orders and so far none has worked, either leaving the protector off in the curved part or leaving a huge gap unprotected.
PS: don't buy the Fosmon

i just bought the tempered glass screen protector from ringke through amazon, the quality is really bad. The size doesn't fit at all, bubble on both sides and top. it is really bad design.

That review was put up less than a few hours ago.

I'm pretty sure if a company comes out with a tempered glass protector that conforms to the edges we are going to have pay a premium. Probably upwards of $30 or more. I might get the Ringke glass anyways to try. Edge lift only bothers me a little bit. I would like to try dingle's brand anyways and see the quality of glass. How slippery it is and if it is real glass or that fake plastic ****. I know probably after a week or so I'd pull it off after the dust that gets under the edges drive me crazy but it's worth it to try ringke's quality on glass anyways. I know their film is pretty good.

aaa i see i see, sorry about that lol. It was been talked in the other tempered glass thread and i only saw the review there when i pressed the link, on the other hand , it is true i didn't see the date. . I doubt that anyone will get a tempered glass that covers the whole screen, that's why the one i bought only covers just a little more from the second screen, and just before it reaches the lg logo in the bottom, and on the edges it only reaches up to where the actual display ends , maybe a bit more. At least that is what i see, but i wont be able to try it U_U for now.

Camera Protection?

Is there anywhere I can order a screen protector just for the cameras?
I already have a scratch and would like to protect them from future abuse.
Thanks

Sure they will be great, just dislike ordering things from China anymore. The last couple orders have taken months. Literal months.
Pretty much what I want, just not willing to pay more than I paid for two screen protectors. Hopefully others will start selling these at reasonable prices.

I'm using a medium-weight case on mine. No screen protector though.

On shopping markets like AliExpress or Gearbest you can find them. I think I'm also going to buy one

I just got my Nillkin protector and was a bit disappointed since the camera lens protector was just a plastic film instead of a tempered glass one. Though I must say it is indeed a high quality product.

Another option is a cover with cutouts for the lenses and flash. So nothing actually covers the camera lenses, but does provide some protection to glass area.

That's not a cover - that's an OEM piece to replace the actual lens glass if yours break.

I have a Savvies tempered glass protector on my G6. It didn't come with a rear camera protector and the cutout for the sensors also extends to the front camera, so theres no protection for the front camera either. I wish I'd known about the Nillkin protector before now, as I had a few Nillkin cases and protectors for my G4 in the past, and always found their gear great value for money.
I also have a Spigen "liquid crystal" clear cover on my phone. Its not the thinnest but it does seem like it will give some sort of protection.

Here's my temporary protection while I wait for the glass camera protector to arrive from China.

I ordered these from China, unfortunately when they arrived I discovered they are just plastic and not Tempered Glass as the title and listing suggests.

Yes you are absolutely right. I should have updated my previous post, but I decided to take one and bend it in half, it shattered just as you would expect glass to. So I can confirm they are actually glass.

Yeah, it was the same here in Germany when I got my P20 from my carrier. But the stock screen protector sucks hard because its attracts fingerprints way more than the plain screen itself or the 3rd party glass screen protector I'm currently using.

That's true. I have ordered Nilkin amazing h+ pro glass. Now i'm waiting for it. This glass is scratch resistant i had it before on my nexus 6p

I just switched to this spigen case two days ago:
https://www.spigen.com/products/huawei-p20-case-rugged-armor
Makes the device bigger than the stock protector but adds more cushioning around the edges and also a little protection for the front. I've had spigen cases for my last 4 smartphones and I'm quite satisfied with the quality. Design and protection are both very good (at least with the cases I've been using). Never had any damage to the phone.
(I've been using at least two dozen smartphones in the last 10 years and never had a spider app installed by accident on any phone...)
