best non-glass screen protector?

hey guys. so I had a problem with the Zagg Shield HD...once I got the extended battery and the case for it..it kept lifting up. My wife has her on her phone and it's now got a bunch of marks on it.
So I tried the Spigen glas. protector. looks beautiful but always had sensitivity issues. They sent me a free replacement. still, i'm not enjoying the phone as much and I feel it's down to how I have to press extra hard on the back button and type extra slow...
so, what is the best "old-school" screen protector i can get that won't affect sensitivity but still protects the screen from scratches? I need one that won't go to the edges but also won't just be the screen part...if that makes sense. something like the coverage of the Spigen glas without the sensitivity issues i'm having with the glas.
thanks!

Try the Anzer/Amzer. What ever it is called. I plan on replacing my Spigen Glass screen protector with one of those. I hated my zagg invisible shield HD.

searched Amazon and three versions came up. they all look like they go to the edge of the screen, which is not good with cases on the extended battery. that's why I had to get rid of the Zagg...
any others?

I am just using the one that came with my Diztronic case and I ordered a pack of 3 screen protectors from Amazon for $3.85 (for my wife's GS3). They are all clear, don't mess with the sensitivity, and look great. If I hand my phone to 10 people, 9 of them wouldn't even know that have I have a screen protector on there and the 1 that does know would know because they are looking for it.
I don't know why everyone insists on getting these tempered glass screen protectors or the Zagg-like (rubber feeling) screen protectors that you can't poke a pen or a drill bit through in a YouTube video. All I need is something that will keep my keys from scratching up the screen in my pocket and if it does scratch the screen protector I want to be able to replace it quickly and cheaply. For basically a buck each... You can't go wrong.
I still have the original 'cheap' screen protector on my old Vibrant that my kid is using and it still looks great so I have never needed to change them out. I still have 2 out of the 3 that I bought back when I got that phone so I am ready to go if/when it needs replacing.

Spigen nano clear is good. It came with my case. The edges only go to the edge of the screen so it's good if u have a bulky case. It's also really easy to clean and feels smooth like glass

anyone try the Spigen 4H protector?
the nano and clear are 2H, the glas is 8H, this one is 4H and seems to be more like a film but stronger than the other models.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...axy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html

I'm looking for a good and cheap screen protector too. I prefer the dry application hard plastic ones (4H), I don't like the tempered glass neither the wet application skins.
I have the SGP Ultra Nano Clear and it's good sp but scratched easily. I had the Ultra Crystal, it was better but the fit wasn't right (too big, caused the edges to peel). I think they fixed its size already, not sure.
My ideal sp would be the curved and clear with 4H hardness and fingers print resist at a price of less than $15 (for 2 ps). I found one from korea - SkinPlayer 3D, but it's more expensive than $15 and can't be found outside korea. there's a topic about it -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856079
I think i'll go with the Ultra Crystal again. unless somebody will recommend a cheaper sp with the same or better quality.

sounds like you're describing the one I posted above in terms of look, hardness, price, etc. but now it's just a question of whether it'll peel on the sides or not...

any other suggestions?
I'm really ITCHING to get rid of this Spigen glas thing...I was ready to order the Nano Optics but the reviews are so mixed for those online I don't want to waste my time and money anymore.
why do local stores only carry Zagg?! ahhhh

Go with the just like glass protector by dba. I just put it on and it feels exactly like the glass.

i appreciate your enthusiasm, but there's a few things that concern me. Spigen makes the glas, and both of them have had horrible sensitivity. second, the curvel crystal makes it sound like it goes to the edges of the phone...and that was my problem with the Zagg Shield HD...the cases were lifting the edges badly.
is either of these things happening to you? do you have a picture of how it looks on the phone?

I have the spigen curved one also, no issues at all with sensitivity, not sure where you heard that? It feels really good, like no layer at all. I can't tell you whether it will lift up or not with a case, my case is 2 pieces so it never pushes against the edges..

What's the deal with all these Spigen GLAS protectors?

Hey guys, so I got my Nexus 5 recently and pretty happy with it (even got the official Gray bumper today and well, kinda nice) but I really don't wanna end up having a plastic screen protectors like with all the other phones I had, I hate sooooo much when fingerprints show on the PET film and they always do so I thought of just getting a nice tempered glass protector - expensive but $ well-spent. After a little googling I found out that spigen are the best ones out there, that the N5's glas.tr had a design flaw, and that they are replacing it with the glas.tr NANO Slim. Now, couple questions:
Is there a really big difference between the Glas.T and the glas.TR NANO Slim? Or just the rounded edges on the TR version?
I'd really like to know also when Spigen is gonna sell these things. I wanna order one of these tomorrow so I've checked Amazon.co.uk and they are both in stock, but on amazon.com glas.t will be in stock on 30th nov and glas.tr on fifth december. But why are these in stock at amazon.co.uk? Am I missing something? (I'd like to order the protector from amazon.co.uk because UK is more near than US to Italy of course, but first I wanna know if it actually is in stock)
Last but not least, do you think these protectors will cause any issue with the official bumper? Because I really don't wanna flush 40 bucks down the toilet.

I have the GLAS.tR and have no problems with it. Most people had like one whole corner of the glass lifting up.. I had 2 air bubbles (decent size), the first one went away, the second one is almost gone now. I guess it's just how you install it. I do know that anyone that bought the GLAS.t/tR from spigen and requested a replacement will be getting the nano slim as soon as it is released. They didn't specify a release date, though:
"We will be releasing the New GLAS.t and GLAS.tR Nano tempered glass screen protectors within the next few weeks and we would like to send these as a replacement for your GLAS.t or GLAS.tR Slim when the New Nano Slims are available"

So... whats the news with the nano.tR protectors... are they any good...
My glas.tR slim was stuck for a few days eventually it gave up on one of the corners, and that part is lifted up now...
glas.t and glas.tr are total failures... if at all the nano's only work...
G

The NANO fixes that issue even Spigen has recognized. But I want to know from you guys: does it protect the WHOLE glass surface of the phone or leave a little space at the edges? I wanna know because I don't want to get issues with the Google bumper.

I have the GLAS.tR, which also lifted in the top right corner. The fit of the glass has a small space around all edges of roughly 1mm. (Which for me, makes it harder to line up as you need to make spacing even on all sides - I would prefer an exact fit).

Everyone'd love an exact fit but that'd make it incompatible with any case.
On a different but not unrelated topic, is there really a big difference between glas.t and glas.tr? Just the rounded edges? Glas.t go in stock earlier so I'll have to wait less and maybe can get it for around Xmas. If I wait for december fifth I'll most likely get it after Christmas cause you know, in that time of the year every shipping gets jammed and stuff.

I personally only have experience with the glas.tr, but the rounded edge is really the main difference. I do know that the glas.t is thinner, but I feel that the "bulk/extra thickness" difference between the two are pretty minimal.
I went for the glass.tr because I swipe from the edge of the screen with quite a lot of my apps.

Will the rounded edge thingy make a big deal if I'm using a case? If not imma go for glas.t.

I have the glas.t because of the lower profile and it was cheaper. I do NOT have a case with it, however, and I prefer it that way. Unlike a lot of others, I actually had no problem applying the glas.t without bubbles (I used clips to hold it in place for several hours to achieve this).
The screen protector covers basically the entire screen, leaving a minor 1-1.5 mm bezel around the edges. I'm not sure about the rounded edges of the tR, but I've had my screen protector for about 2 weeks and there are zero blemishes. Nothing cracked, nothing scratched. But you should note that while it's tempered glass, it's not fingerprint proof. My hands do get oily at times, and it WILL show fingerprints.
That being said, I really really like this product (when it works obviously). The glass feels amazing to use on a daily basis. It's quite durable (as I said before, I keep my phone without a case and just carry it in my pocket). Screen clarity is great and touch sensitivity is still consistent across the entire screen. With the Nano version improving on the regular glas.t/tR, I would definitely recommend picking one up. The tR's are meant for use without a case (hence the rounded edges), so I would probably get the t.

So, the glas.tr are for people who don't use cases eh? I'm gonna buy the glas.t then (I always use a bumper). One question: does it show fingerprints and dirt as the normal gorilla glass 3 or a little more? And what about it compared to a PET screen protector?

To my experience, it seems to be the same amount for fingerprints on the screen and the glass protector. But a quick wipe solves the problem.
I used a Spigen PET (ultra clear, front and back) screen protector on my Nexus 4, which seemed to be collecting oil. It would be difficult to remove even when wiping. (Should be called Spigen oil slick).
But generally, even though it does get a smudge it cleans a lot easier compared to the PET screen protector. :good:

This is exactly what I was going to say. The glas.t feels just like the gorilla glass 3 since both have the oleophobic properties. As mentioned above, while it still shows fingerprints I think a big advantage is how easily those are to get off the screen. Typically film screen protectors, no matter how clear they are, will smudge fingerprints around until it's like "meh, good enough".

Also, you might want to check Glass-M and Nillkin for tempered glass screen protectors. Way cheaper and people seem to be happy about them. The Nillkin you can buy for like 9 €... That's one hell of a price difference.
I bought the Glass-M for about 20 € (including shipment to Europe). It's about half the price of the Spigen one and I doubt there is much difference.+

Thanks for the replies guys. About the glass-m thanks, but I'd rather have the best in its class (spigen).

The best Tempered glass screen protector?

Anyone found a tempered glass screen protector for the HTC One (that works). Only one I can find is this Tempered glass screen protector.
Are all the tempered glass screen protectors the same?

I bought one off ebay not too long ago. Anyway, its a quality tempered glass screen protector. Scratch free and no touch issues whatsoever. Long story short, for the most part they are most likely all the same.
Here's the one I purchased :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Premium...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item565ffcf158

Did yours match the size of the screen exactly? I bought one off ebay a few months ago, and it works fine but it's about 1mm shorter than the black area. I've sent mine in for the pink camera noise issue, and if I get it back with a bare screen I'd like to replace it with one that fits.

size
It's normal, that the protector is slightly smaller than the acutal screen. If they were spot on the same size, it would be almost impossible to put the protector on, without any air bubbles underneath it.

Brando Rounded Tempered Glass protector
I've had this... http://shop.brando.com/Brando-Works...Rounded-Edition-HTC-One-_p09083c1531d008.html on my phone for about 9 months. Not a mark on it and fits perfectly.
Bit more expensive than some, but it's 9H glass (Diamond is 10H!) & just watch the videos... They have a go at it with knives & a drill! (I've tried a knife myself ... Not a scratch!)
Worth a bit extra cash in my opinion.

I have the MIME ghost glass protector and love it! Does not have that sticky feel that PET protectors have, I'd never go back to plastic again.
http://mimeusa.com/product/htc-one-ghost-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/

Well, my One is back and the screen is nakies so it's time for a new screen protector. They must have replaced the screen, since it had a tiny hairline scratch when I sent it in and it's gone so I can't complain too much. Hopefully the new screen protector fits better than the last.

Mime Feather on mine and I love it.
Covers the screen perfectly and I had no trouble installing it. The only way you know it's there is because it's slightly raised above the phone (0.15mm, they say).

The iloome Flex is pretty good, I have one myself. It's easy to install, because it's flexible unlike other glass screen protectors and they also give you some tape if you want to use the hinge method. It's pretty hard (8H) and thin too.

revised review, now very negative about Mime

I have to revise my opinion of Mime and their products after having gone through 3 of them on the same phone.
1. The first one felt great initially. But it scratched much too easily for it to be 9H, so I am going to have to call BS on their hardness claim.
Mime offered to send me a new one and did after about a month.
2. The second one did not stick correctly, even though I installed it in exactly the same manner as the first one.
Mime offered to send me a new one, but they were out of stock in both Ghost Glass and Feather for this phone (M7). After several weeks, the Feather was finally available again but the discount code they sent did not work and there was a further delay while Mime sorted that out. Also the Feather model cost more so I had to pay an extra $3 US plus the coupon.
3. The unit I received after ordering the Feather did not appear to be glass. It was flexible and felt, looked and scratched just like a cheap plastic screen protector. I patiently waited because I assumed this was an interim unit to hold me over until the glass ones became available again. But when I contacted Mime they assured me that was the Feather and that Mime does not stock any plastic at all to fit the M7. So apparently the Feather is no better than plastic, but costs $30 US apiece shipped.
So I asked for a refund. Mime asked me to ship it back, which I did.
Mime received it 2 weeks ago and I have not heard from them despite multiple emails.
Terribly slow customer service all around, the products are ridiculously overpriced, I definitely would not buy again.
I apologize to anyone that bought Mime products after reading my review because my opinion of Mime and their products has certainly changed since then.
Initial quality felt good, but they do not last long enough to warrant the high price and the after sale support is also not worth the price.
I could have bought 6 of the Chinese cheapie tempered glass screen protectors + shipping and still had 5 left as I am still on the 1st one vs 3 Mime duds. This is what I have done on my S5 and it was better quality than the Mime for $4.
Don't waste your money on Mime.
initial observation is below:
I also use the Mime Ghost Glass and I really like it.
It measures .32mm. You can tell it's there if you are looking for it, but so far everyone I hand my phone to has not noticed it.
Mime also makes the Feather model, as mentioned by someone else, which measures .15mm thickness. I would have probably bought that if I had seen it before I bought the Ghost Glass. They are both rated at 9H hardness, but theoretically the thicker one should offer more protection.

Just ordered the one you suggested for $6.85. It's my first ever glass screen protector, hoping it will be a fun experience. From reviews on amazon, and I belive the one on ebay that the seller is selling, is the one made by PThink, judging from the same photos. The only complaint on the cheaper ones are that sometimes the edges don't seal down the the screen, and can cause bubbles. Still, I am excited.
Here is the link once again to buy, and at time of purchase is only $6.85 with free shipping.

I'm using Mime Feather model, very happy with it, and they have excellent customer service. Word of caution though, if you're planning to use it with HTC's Double Down case it won't work, that case presses on the edges of Mime glass and causes it to rise along the edges.

I've got UAG + Mime feather. Works great though a couple of days ago I actually chipped the edge of the feather glass and my phone. But that's because I'm an idiot and keep my keys+keyring-multitool and phone in the same pocket (hence why I have a case and protector)

Haven't really seen too much on Regular Screen Protectors

Greetings all.. I have searched a bit for a normal screen protector that's quality but all I find is glass.
I've never been a fan of glass screen protectors.
Before I would always buy spigen ultra crystal sp but they don't have any for the opo.
I found http://www.evolutivelabs.com/products/oneplus-one but $25 is crazy.
Any input is appreciated and welcomed.

I use regular screen protectors. I tend to change them every 3 weeks or so.
I've bought some cheap ones from ebay as well as the xtremeguard ones (not the HD one you linked). Also note there's always an 85-90% coupon for xtremeguard products. I've recently purchased "HD" non-glass and "fingerprint resistant" non-glass ones from aliexpress which should arrive soon.
If I were to offer you advice, grab a few different kinds of cheap ones. I've found the 5pack ones I bought for around $4-5 with shipping are not bad at all.

Wow.. Every 3 weeks??
I have a nexus 4 right now and have the spigen ultra crystal for about a year and a half and it's still in pretty good shape.
By the way I made an order with xtremeguard with a 90% coupon. I got both the HD and regular screen protector I hope they are good.

With my old phones I never believed in using cases or screen protectors. With my Oneplus I'm a little more careful I suppose.
I change them so often because I have a whole bunch, some of which I haven't tried yet (regular, tempered, HD, anti-fingerprint, etc) and the slightest blemish or anything drives me nuts.

I am also thinking about buying one...deciding between RhinoShiled and Orzly, both seem perfectly fine.

For me they like the actual screen which is good. I got tired of that rubbery feeling and plus bubbles and peeling. I find the glass to be easier application. Zero bubbles. Try one, if you don't like, go back to the other. No biggie

I have used both the xtremeguard screen protectors on my previous phones and now on my One I got their Spartan Shield tempered glass. Overall, I like the glass protector. It's a little thicker at .40mm, but I don't have any issues with touch sensitivity. Also, it fits the unit very well. I had another tg protector I purchased off eBay, and while it was slightly thinner at .3mm, it didn't fit the screen as well.
Here's the one caveat with purchasing from xtremeguard, it takes a long time to get their products. I live in the next state over from where they ship and it took over a week for me to get it. Also, their packaging is rather minimalistic and the first protector arrived cracked. Same thing happened to a friend with his tg protector. Apparently, they don't have any expedited shipping options.
Never had any issues with their regular screen protectors. Can beat them for the price.
Hope this helps.

Try the orzly tempered glass it has round corners which makes it feel like there is no screen protector on at all.

For some reason I do not like glass screen protectors.

I applied my Orzly tempered glass screen protector in a steamed up bathroom to prevent dust.... Applied pretty easy. Had to do one quick lift to readjust but am real happy with the look and feel. No dust or bubbles. Doesn't seem to bother touch responsiveness either.... I would certainly recommend. Be carful with the install.... You only get one in the package.

I prefer Skinomi screen protectors. They are very good, and have a lifetime replacement warranty.
Skinomi!

So I've used the Orzly, Nilkin, and Rhino Shield protectors. The Rhino shield was an oil magnet and started to bubble/ peel ever so slightly after a while. The Nilkin wasn't nearly as smooth as the Orzly and scratched much easier. So i'd recommend going with the orzly.

So I've this one: https://oneplus.net/oneplus-premium-screen-protector in the Anti-Fingerprint version. That Anti-Fingerprint is not completely true, I can see fingerprints and other oily stuff on it. Also, that version tends to reflect much.
And I somehow got a scratch into it.
Is there someone out there who also has a screen protector, from a 3rd party? Can someone recommend one? I don't really want tempered glass.

Greetings all.. I have searched a bit for a normal screen protector that's quality but all I find is glass.
I've never been a fan of glass screen protectors.
Before I would always buy spigen ultra crystal sp but they don't have any for the opo.
I found http://www.evolutivelabs.com/products/oneplus-one but $25 is crazy.
Any input is appreciated and welcomed.

Hi,
Try this from Orzly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQKATH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is a tempered glass one and it works great with cases. It doesn't say that it is oleophobic, but it cleans easier than the actual screen.

I will suggest mocolo glass. This is good for glass protector. http://glass4m.com/product/mocolo-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-oneplus-one/

The thread starter is asking for "regular" screen protectors, not (tempered) glass ( = like I did) ...

Which Edge to Edge Film Screen protector to pre-order?

I am planning on using a case with the Note 7 when I get it, but all this speculations that Tempered Glass protectors aren't case friendly makes me think. I don't know which Film Screen protector to go with the Note 7 since I am not familiar with edge to edge protection for this curved screen device. I saw these, but don't know how good they are.

I love tempered glass protectors. Don't use cases on my phones though. Find them kinda useless. Might make an exception for this cause the back is now glass too. Waiting for Tempered glass protector for the back and front. Why make the phone more bulky.

I just ordered a tempered glass screen protector from XtremeGuard (Spartan tempered glass). It's $1.50 (90% off site-wide) with coupon code OLYMPIC90

I think people have been mentioning Skinomi.

I did that as well, got three of them. The email I got said it was "Case Friendly". For $1.50 each I figured what the heck, if it is not great I wasted $4.50.

It appears that is not an edge to edge or curved type. Which explains a lot. I'm searching for something curved.

I've always preferred glass in combination with a case but I've heard from people with the S7 Edge that it is tricky with the curved screen. Hoping it won't be as bad for the Note 7 as it's not as curved.
Anybody got any experience with S7 Edge in combination with a glass protector and case and maybe suggestions?
Here's an article from phonearena that might be helpful as well. I haven't order one yet, hoping for some more tips but will let you guys know when I have + experiences!

None for me, prefer naked with this beauty!

Then don't get a bulky case...
I prefer the TPU minimalist ones that will save my corners and back glass but that's about it. I ordered a VSR case for this phone but usually go with Cruzerlite. Barely adds any thickness and improves grip.

You sir live a dangerous life. I could never run around with a naked phone. Even my BB Bolds had a screen protector and TPU case haha

Haha, well I might have a case for special occasions!

A lot of people want premium materials alu glass carbon whatever,and then they cover it with plastic cases ,tpu and all these things..

I am happy to say that I haven't had a screen protector on my last 2 galaxy phones. No scratches or cracks but I do have a thin case.

I always get a Clear coat on my Samsung phones

I took a gamble and order the Pleson screen protectors....
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-PL...&qid=1470941574&sr=8-1&keywords=pleson+note+7
I got them yesterday and they TPU based as Amazon description doesn't mention that exactly. Will see how this work with the screen and s-pen when I get the phone.
I will be using this case, so hopefully it clears on the edges...

Better get them for the back too, the ones at tmobile store look very badly scraped, not sure how that is with gorilla glass 5, but doesn't look like the back is doing its job.

I don't have an issue with the back glass on my Note 5, though its always been inside a case.

See back of Note 7 on bottom.
