Ultimate Review: Spigen GLAS for Galaxy S3(Text, Video, high res. pics)

NOTICE: THE GLAS IS NOW DISCONTINUED!
Hey everyone, welcome to my very thorough and in-depth review on Spigen SGP's GLAS, tempered glass screen protector, for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Purchase at: Cretouch.com
Installation
- Easy as hell. No air bubbles and fuss. *Just make sure to thoroughly clean the screen and read the instructions.* Tape works well for getting rid of dust.
Also go from edge towards the center not vice versa. The edges of the protector(colored bezel/frame) is thicker than the clear glass area, so going from center out can cause sensitivity issues.
Clarity
- No clarity loss at all whatsoever. Looks like the stock screen.
Fingerprints
- The oleophobic coating really does work. I have noticed less fingerprints with the GLAS.
Feel/Texture
- Honestly feels just like the original glass screen. Very smooth and glass like.
Cutouts
- Cutouts are done well. There are physical cutouts for the sensors, speakers, and home button. Sensors work just fine and the cutout for the home button is a bit recessed. Spigen includes epoxy buttons that add a slight raise for the home button. They're also great for some more personalization.
- Internal, clear cutouts for the LED light, front facing camera, and capacitive menu buttons.
Coverage
- Does not go edge to edge. Leaves a few mm of space between the GLAS and the bezel.
Sensitivity:
- So after having installed the protector and using it, I have negative things to say about the GLAS. The responsiveness of the screen is lost by quite a bit. Swipes often make accidental clicks and touch often does not register. According to Spigen, installing from edge to center should fix the problem many were having, but this was not the case.
Here's a pic with the Neo Hybrid:

Case comptability(from the cases I have):
Spigen Neo Hybrid - works, still some gap left between case and screen protector
Spigen Lumi/Color Series bumpers - same as neo hybrid
Draco S3 Bumper - works
Cruzerlite Clone Army - works
Spigen Modello - works
Acase Super Leggera Pro - works
Overall works with every case from what I can see that doesn't obtrude or come around the edge of the phone too much.
Comment if you have a case that is compatible with the GLAS.

I believe Spigen is still selling the GLAS. CreTouch is an authorized reseller. If you want to purchase it you can go to spigen.com

Works with Otterbox Defender if you knock the Defender's stock (crappy) screen protector out

Product has been discontinued. Hope they are making a replacement.

Damn.. Why exactly was it discontinued.. What were the complaints about?

Been reviewed a few times. Anyways, since the protector doesnt go edge to edge, dust/particles/hair get stuck on the side of the protector. I plan on removing mine tonight, way to much crap stuck to the sides.

Also a lot of people seemed to have experienced sensitivity issues. missed keystrokes when typing, missed inputs when playing games etc.
Mine only arrived after this issue was reported, and I applied it by the same way the OP did, pressure from outside towards centre, (as per statement from sgp) but I still had the issues, it was really annoying, I had to purposely slow down my typing in order to prevent having so many errors.

Does anyone know if they're going to be releasing a new version of the GLAS screen protector?

To the op, thanks for the review and very detailed.
I have a alternative to the spg, looks identical, I have no issue with it and the quality is very good, mine is using japanese material, item made in korea and package in china.
the way i install it is just put pressure along the sides a few times, not even touching the center.
I'm wait for the release of the blue version.

You shouldnt buy ANY product from Spigen. Ive bought 3 products from them and got burned all 3 times. I did get a replacement for one of them though. First was the neo hybrid. The volume rocker didn't work. After numourous emails (in which they already knew this product had this problem) I got a replacement. I was happy. Next was this glass screen protector, the sensitivity was awful and the thing collected so much dust on the sides of the screen protector it was a joke. The sides of the protector were covered in lint and were black lol. Now I order their ultra thin air case and the stupid thing doesn't even stay on the case. Even their website reviews say the same thing. So all 3 accessories I've bought from SPIGEN were terrible. Good luck if you take the chance. I'm currently using my old otter box defender, looking for a new case though.

why don't you buy one and test it out, no one is going to do that on purpose.

Nillkin LG Nexus 5 Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Anti-Explosion!!!!
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

here's a full product page, translated into english: http://nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=13&id=3702&page=1
they sure did put together quite a few promotional images, hah. it's too bad most of the text on the images isn't translated to english as well.
anyway, thanks for the heads up on the protector, OP. gonna subscribe to this thread and wait to hear how it performs.

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.

Just got mine in, as well as the Nillkin frosted case. Both are AWESOME!
It does show fingerprints, but the glass feels great, fits perfectly, and it was only $14 compared to other more expensive, mostly defective options.

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.

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!

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!

Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Huawei P9

Hello everyone, have you bought the Huawei P9? If you have already got or decide to get one, you will absolutely need some accessories to protect your phone. Please share any screens you have bought or tested on this thread. Thanks

I'm still waiting for protectors like this one
http://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...60454460704.html?spm=a2700.7724838.0.0.bSa7Po
But at least they are getting produced...Hopefully they will be available soon

I planned to buy total body screen protector from Gadgetshieldz. Have previous experience with them so this time I'm going with them.

I have seen many screens on Amazon, Alibaba and ebay. Brands like ivolver, idefend and so on but no one has actually showed the actual screen on the phone and have just shown a general computerised screen picture. I have come across one seller on ebay called Varietyproductsuk who has shown the screen on the phone.
I have shared the link here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-Genui...486812?hash=item3ac283485c:g:rpsAAOSwiYFXKm81

There is a seller on alibaba selling it but the screen from sides are smaller and the cut-out are different from the front in comparison to the ebay seller.
Seller alibaba - https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Newest-tempered-glass-for-HTC-P9_60449969347/showimage.html
I tried to save the image but i cant copy the link due to alibaba protection.
As you can see from the images, there is only two cut outs, whereas the eBay seller has 3 cut-outs from the front. Will this be a issue for the phone!?
Please share any screens bought or sellers or videos of screens.
Thanks

I can only hope that there will be a decent battery pack cover for this phone.

I have seen many screens on Amazon, Alibaba and ebay. Brands like ivolver, idefend and so on but no one has actually showed the actual screen on the phone and have just shown a general computerised screen picture. I have come across one seller on ebay called Varietyproductsuk who has shown the screen on the phone.
I have shared the link here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-Genui...486812?hash=item3ac283485c:g:rpsAAOSwiYFXKm81
Ebay seller - Varietyproductsuk

I bought that protector and have just applied it. It doesn't cover the whole screen, which is rather annoying. I will probably take it off. I have asked the seller if they have a protector that covers the whole screen.

Update: the seller says that this is by design due to the curved edges of the screen. I am not convinced, but there you go. I cannot recommend this protector as it makes the edges of the screen hard to read. Hopefully someone else can find something better.

I used the protector for 24 hours and gave up on it. Because it doesn't go quite to the edges of the screen, you can't use any apps where you have to swipe in from the edge (e.g. Play Store) since your swipes aren't completely detected. The protector only needs to be a few mm larger and then I think it would work. I am not sure if other protectors are any better but this one is really not suitable for the P9.

Unfortunately they are right, the screen is curved sides in the protection must be narrower. Gurdate that result from a slightly wider protection.
Now I'm buying a new closer, posterolateral photos just applied http://www.protectionfilms24.it/articolo/brotect-airglass-premium,-pellicola-in-vetro-per-huawei-p9-2729457.html

That one looks much better; the screen appears to be completely covered. Please report back!

Hi guys
I though I will share mine here too.
I got my phone recently and was looking for screen protector. I bought a classic tempered glass but it did not cover the whole screen, which looked really bad, not to mention the handling of the phone. I've looked around and I found this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-C..._2&btsid=01b95c8a-8907-4008-97f7-29822867ccda
I've ordered the above curved glass ( fully transparent version), once I receive it I will post an update here. hopefully it will fit well.

This one also seems to have real photos and it looks like it covers the whole screen http://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-C...wei-Honor-P9-Protective-Film/32664982219.html

In the Mediamark at least in españa put one of the brand zagg that are gummy come up to the edge and do not break. They are fantastic and also they have for the back part

same problem

I've ordered this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High...wei-P9-Curve-Edge-Protective/32537551794.html and will report back.

I'm guessing this is the same protector as the one you have? http://www.ebay.com/itm/351740087633
I think its the closest to a full screen protector we can get.

I bought that one.
I am not happy with it.
By the description i thought it will be class sot of, but it is just a film and it is not bigger than the
glas i am currently using (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01AGNS49E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
So i will stick with the glas.

Can you use a case with it? I used to have a full glass for the s6 edge but using a case would pop the glass out.

@tnhh post#17 (for some reason I can't use the quote function so this will have to suffice)
Yeah, that one is not to size at all. I posted some feedback on aliexpress, but I might have been to nice in the comment since it's more or less useless to me at this point. That said it does cover the screen itself, it's just the placement of the holes that is a bit off that makes it useless to me. I'll probably go ahead and order up the one Riddo mentioned and see if that will be a fit, if not I'll probably just go ahead and get one of those protective films.
If you want some accurate measurements to see on your phone I measured up the size: It's 13.5cm long and 6.7cm wide
I'll also post a couple of pics later with it on top of the phone.
