I'm only looking at this screen protector due to it being oleophobic, not for protection. Does it work good as an anti-fingerprint protector? Does the coating eventually go away and just become a normal screen protector?
The anti-fingerprint protection will eventually become less effective. You should clean the film surface once in a while so that fingerprint won't build up.

You shouldn't have any issues with the fingerprint resistance going away over time. Just clean it every once and a while with alcohol or a dry clean cloth. Big thumbs up to the SGP Oleophobics btw. Best combination of feel, clarity and fingerprint resistance. Only thing worth griping about is that it's a bit undersized but it may be an advantage when using with certain cases.
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.
Hi guys,
i have been searching around for anti fingerprint screen protector but all the one i've found are like £2-3 which i dont think is good quality. any recommendation?
cheers
I got this one, and I'm very impressed so far:

You could try a glass screen protector although they are expensive they don't take away any of the feel like plastic protectors do. I have recently moved to the Spigen Glass one and it rarely needs cleaning. Whilst with my old plastic protector i used to be seen wiping my phone on my sleeve several times a day!
I've been using on from Citigeeks, and i've found them to be pretty great, their anti-glare is kind of in between a completely glossy one and a matte protector, it still repels fingerprints but the rainbow effect/pixellation effect is not as bad. Nevertheless, screen degradation is still very noticeable compared to a glossy protector.
Does anybody know if there's a glass screen protector out there that feels like the naked htc one screen and is also fingerprint/smudge-resistant? Is there any that comes even close? or is it even not possible? I know matte ones can be anti-fingerprint, but doesn't feel like the naked glass...
Most likely would have to go matte to be fingerprint resistant IME

thank you for the reply. i am still hoping some random person on this forum would know of one from like on ebay or something. for now, i'll just add the MIME feather glass to my wishlist since i still prefer the feeling of glass over the feeling of a matte one.
I have the MIME ghost glass on mine. Don't get alot of prints on there unless my hand is oily and sweaty. Wipes off easily, so I don't mind if it has smudges or finger prints

The MIME feather glass screen protector is definitely what you are looking for.

I heard the oleophobic coating, eg anti-fingerprint wear off after a couple of months faster if you are a gamer.

Which Tempered glass screen protector that works with the fingerprint reader on the s21
I know this has been discussed pretty extensively. I have tried the SuperShieldz tempered glass. By raising sensitivity and reregistering my fingerprints I was able to get it to work sporadically. I switched to the Zagg Glass Fusion and after reregistering my fingerprints, it works pretty much as good as without a screen protector. The only issue with the Zagg is that it is not Tempered glass but rather "hybrid glass". The first one peeled on one corner (my fault because I played with it) but since the replacement, I have had no issues and love it.
Hello,
Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit works ok for me - not as good as without glass, but ok.
Best regards,
Hendrik
