What screen protectors are you guys going with? I'll throw some links up for people to reference which ones are out there.
I'm debating which one I'm going to be going with, I'm really considering going with the GLAR.tR SLIM Premium by Spigen.

Was considering the tR SLIM, but decided it's too expensive to spend on one screen protector. The plastic ones work fine, the one I've got on my current phone has been perfect, no air bubbles or anything, so I think I'll stick with one of those.
I'm in the UK though, and the only Spigen plastic screen protector on Amazon or eBay I can find is the Crystal one, not Ultra Crystal or Steinheil or whatever it's called. Does anyone know what the difference is? Also has anyone in the UK got a recommendation for a plastic screen protector for the N5 from a known brand, not one of the cheap eBay ones?

Ultra-Crystal Steinheil from Spigen since it came with the case from Spigen I got off Amazon. I'll share my thoughts once I get it, it's due to come in the same day as my phone(which should be September 7th).
I have the ultra clear on my n4 and had it on my gs3. I love them, and have already ordered the ultra for my n5.
I am thinking about a glas.t though.

Not too long ago, Stack Social did a group buy of sorts for the nee iphone 5.
The deal was for:
iPhone 5S / 5 Case Tough Armor Protection Kit
FOR PROTECTION KIT 1
Screen Protector GLAS.t Slim - $29.99
FOR PROTECTION KIT 2
Screen Protector Steinheil [Ultra Crystal] - $13.99
Select Color
Smooth Black
All for the amazingly low price of $36.99
This would be great if they could do the same for the Nexus 5. I really like that GLAS.t.R and would love it on the N5. I ride a lot on my bike and stuff it in the back pocket of my jersey as well as putting the phones i have in my pocket. I dont want the screen scratched. I dont care how good Gorilla Glass 3 is, I know through daily use I'm sure I would end up scratching it.
I've been using Nexus 4 w/o a protector since the beginning, zero scratches here.
I keep my phone in a leather pouch.

You don't buy screen protectors for scratch protection as much as you do for minimizing the visibility of fingerprints. The N4 screen requires constant cleaning without it.

I have noticed that screen protectors do help this more than one might assume.
Do these come with a cut out for the light sensor on the right? I bought some cheap ones for my N4 and I had to cut the corner off for the sensor to work properly.
I orderd the glastr tempered glass protector. I have one on my Note 3, and it makes the screen feel like there is nothing on it (just as smooth as regular glass screen) whereas a plastic protecter is never a smooth.
I've used the Xtremeguard on 3 of my devices. It is a wet-application protector. I've found them to be quite good!

Just ordered the Spigen SGP Glas.tr screen protector.
I'm definitely, eventually, going to get the GLAS.tR SLIM Premium Tempered Glass screen protector. Once it goes on sale for less than $30, that is
Is it really worth it to spend $30 for a glass screen protector or is this just for a peace of mind?

had it on all my phones/tablets and i love those screen protectors... pre-ordered for nexus 5, ships November 18th... 8£ -> a pair of screens!

No finger drag from friction, oleophobic coating, and actual impact protection. I've never understood the mentality of, "Hey, I'm not going to spend more than $3 to protect the glass screen of this $400-800 device! That's too damned much!"
What is the difference between the GLAS.tR and the GLAS.t?

Higher-rated hardness for scratch resistance and rounded edges on the protector itself to make it fit better with cases.
I have the zagg protector on mine just because they were the only ones available today in the shop and I have used them in the past

Glas.tR has rounded edges for a better feel on the device better impact dissipation both are rated at 8-9h hardness. The Glas.tR is also about 0.16mm thicker than the Glas.t so it will marginally make your device heavier otherwise the two are the same.
more information on the Spigen website. personally i'm going to wait til i see a review on one over the other but right now im leaning towards the Glas.tR
hope this helps.

I want to buy a tempered glass screen for N5 within a week or two. But I can't decide between :
1)Mime Ghost Glass or Feather Glass
2)Glass-M tempered glass
3)Nillkin tempered glass
4)SPIGEN GLAS
Currently, I am slightly inclined towards Mime(read good reviews). I heard that SPIGEN GLAS has some issues and the fix can take a while. I guess that is out of my option. My Requirements are : a) the touch should work fine b) no bubbles c)should work fine with a case.
Can you please suggest me which one to buy?
Thanks in advance,

I just received my Nillkin protector. I'm hoping to install it tonight so I will try to post some pictures for you. My first impressions are that the packaging is great and the camera protector (not glass) seems great. The kit for installation is pretty good too. Can't wait to install it.
If it turns out to be rubbish I'll plump for a MIME one. Everyone speaks very highly of them.

I had the (defective) Spigen GLAS.tr, and am still waiting for that replacement.
Applied the MIME Ghost last night and I can say that it's one of the best glass protectors I've ever used in terms of feel, rounded edges, adhesion (even after a couple of pull-offs and re-applications, to get rid of specks with scotch tape), and so forth.
Put it this way - I have a replacement Spigen on the way at some point, as well as a pair of the Nillkin units - but I just finished ordering another MIME Ghost in case something happens to this one.
Think about orzly glass screen protector, put mine about a week ago flawlessly, no bubbles, very good touch and feeling response, cut out are perfect
And is laminated glass, a thin plastic sheet coupled with glass, same as car windscreen, don't know if other are laminated or tempered glass

I bought the Nillkin tempered glass screen protector. First time ever using tempered glass and I will never go back to anything else. It simply blows me away and looks great. It genuinely looks like I'm going naked screen wise. No air bubbles, comes with instructions and all the necessities. Overall I highly recommend. :good:

That's good to know. Mine should arrive today or tomorrow!
I bought the Nilkin, and I am waiting for it. I bought it mainly because the price was low, I hope it will be of good quality
Glad somebody has had a good experience with the NIllkin. Didn't get a chance to fit mine tonight so will have to do it tomorrow. Do you have a case with yours Benman715?

I relieved the MIME and just put it on. It looks great fits great and I can't even tell its there.
Only downside is it took me a couple tries to get it on straight and now I have a couple pieces of lint under it

I've had my Nillkin fitted for the past 24hours or so, I'm very happy with it. Excellent quality, fitted up perfectly, looks/feels great and it was a good price.
I loved the MIME Ghost glass and Feather glass on the HTC One and will be looking to get one of them soon for the N5. My Spigen GLAS.tR totally carcked it so got a refund for that. Never tried the Nillkin. Has anyone actually tested the theory of the Nillkin being "anti-explosion"? LOL.
Anyone tested these with polarized sunglasses? Specifically the Mime or Nillikin
--Dan
Can anyone with any of these glass screen protectors comment on wether there is or would be any affect of the cutouts being over the camera and sensor versus only a cutout for the earpiece.
Also Can anyone report whether any of these glass screen protectors resist fingerprints well or not?
Just ordered a Nillkin, will let y'all know what its like when I get it.

Yes I do. I have the spigen hybrid case. Overall I'm smitten with the look and feel of tempered glass. The case is a fingerprint magnet unfortunately. Best of luck with everyone who ordered tempered glass. Its well worth it IMO.
Does anyone have any photos of MIME, Nilkin, Glass-M? (I have Spigen GLAS.tr which has a lifted corner)
But I heard that Spigen GLAS nano's are coming out soon.
Is anyone as annoyed as me with Spigel's absolutely ridiculous line of product and naming choices? No clarity between feature, functionality, what's what, etc. Add in the Amazon factor and it's pure chaos. They might have the best cases, but they need some serious help in business management. If I ran their company, I'd have addressed this immediately.
Anecdotally, I'm nowhere near the first confused person. Someone much smarter than I (which, really, is most people) found their offerings wildly confusing and simply ordered one of everything before deciding to return all but the one which suited him best. I did the same given their complete inanity.

I got the defective Spigen glass and just received nillkin tempered glass and installed it about an hour ago.
It seems good overall and unlike Spigen glass, it has a cut out for the proximity sensor.
there are small bubbles with nillkin protector and I am hoping it would disappear by tomorrow.
I've always loved spigen's protectors, but this time it was a big NO NO.
I mentioned this on another thread but my Orzly after 5days of use was scratched quite a bit. I've no idea how as it only sat in my pocket.
I have a Nilikin on order but I'm currently using a £5 'helicopter blade coating' protector I got on eBay and it's great, no Orange peel and you really couldn't tell it's there. Still like the glass protectors though so I'll go with the Nilikin when it arrives.

Mime ghost glass is out of stock. I have sent them an email. If it won't be available within a week, I am buying nillkin. Or as someone suggested, I may buy both.
As a new owner of the beast, i'm looking for a good tpu case and a tempered glass.
At my previous smartphones, i always used Spigen SGP cases.
Any recommendation..?
(I would like to buy them form eBay or Amazon)
Thanks in advance!

Overall the consensus on XDA is Diztronic TPU case and Orzly tempered glass. Share your experience with us.
I recommend the Bepak tempered glass protector. It leaves the sensor uncovered but covers the camera lens. Great quality and it's only $8.

Agreed, if you're in the market for a TPU case and tempered glass screen protector for the One, these two are the current champs IMO.
Not the biggest fan of screen protectors but I can vouch for the Diztronic TPU case. Won't hurt your wallet and the quality is up there.
Ships from U.S. too which is a plus, fast shipping.

Does this tempered glass screen protector go from top of the screen to the bottom? I purchased a cheap one on Amazon it came with an aluminum bumper and it doesn't go all the way from top to bottom it leaves a gap at the bottom

Searching through threads I couldn't find a clear answer on this. Are any of the tempered glass screen protectors oleophobic? My OPO is a fingerprint magnet right now.

Go for Nillkin, I have used it in other mobile and it is the best.
I've been looking at that one and I think i'm just about sold. Any idea how it will fit with a TPU case? I assume that will stop the edges from getting chipped, which was the only big complaint I saw.
I am using nillkin. Recommended

I'm using a nillkin and diztronic ultra tpu case and it looks great!
you can also buy a thing of oleophobic fluid. it works, and works well. it takes around ten drops, twice, to do it. so the little bottle goes a long way.

Got mine in a Tudia cygen case with nillkin and it's great. You still see fingerprints but I do find them much less than without the protector. Too bad my son dropped it today and cracked it at the top so I'll try a generic tempered glass protector and see the difference.
Phantom Glass makes one (Part: PGS-ONEPLUSONE)
Expensive ordering direct (why are most of these companies like this?).
Lifetime warranty so I guess that's what you're paying for, along with said coating.
Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M6LWA2W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Get any generic tempered glass, haven't seen any without oleophobic coating, you can get it as cheap as +3 $ buying some expensive as 15 - 20 $ is just silly...
The nilkin tempered glass is a must have..! Buy it and you won't regret it!
I had Nilkin but I guess wasn't clean enough and kinda screwed it up. Bought an Orzly next and it fit perfectly, even better than the Nilkin in my opinion.
Ultimate shield
If u want an oleophobic tempered glass, ultimate shield must be your choice,
is very clean and clear, and save me lot of time.
Comment above is correct. I got a Nillkin 9H and it has a coating too. I see water drops sliding back and forth with no traces left on the glass plus when you use it it does gather fingerprints however once put inside the pocket and taken out, fingerprints go away when the phone rubs against the pocket lining. I would say don't go with ultra thin ones go with a regular thickness and middle of the ground for 8-9 dollars. I got a Nillkin with Tudia TPU and its fits, feels and looks perfect.
I ended up going with the Nillkin and i'm quite happy with it. The instructions were hilariously bad, but I got it installed fairly painlessly. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hello.

I am using cheap one from amazon..glass screen..works 100% full whole screen covered and works with Ringke crystal clear case.
Now i am sure that you are talking about lg g6.... At least i hope...
Spigen is not what it used to be my friend.... Many chinese manufacters outperform Spigen for fraction of the price. Happy hunting
And here you go....this one i have top class

And here is case. Works 100%
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01N9SLSI4/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have the spigen glass on my G6. No complaints. Same quality as Chinese brands. I bought the Spigen glass because the Chinese brands were too big for cases. The Spigen glass is slightly shorter and narrower to fit cases.
I really like amfilm. Works great with spigen case and looks great.
I have the spigen TG on my G6 and it couldn't be better. Fits perfect. Also have spigen thin case and they work together (fit) no issues.
I'm using the Spigen tempered glass and two Spigen case that I switch between since June still nice and clean no scratches as far as I can see
