Glass Screen Protector - Anyone have this?

I saw this link on Xgears tempered glass screen cover on Droid-Life.com and I was wondering if any of your proud G-Nex owners have one on their phone. And a possible opinion about it if you can. Thanks!

They just shipped out today, people should be receiving them in the next few days.

There's a thread talking about these screen protectors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777825
I ordered 2 as soon as I saw them. Keep tabs on the thread I posted above as that will have the most up to date info for you.

The other thread is for "any" protector that feels close to glass... so maybe this thread is a good idea, whoever gets one first can post their review here and it can be the Xgear Fantom thread for xda. OR we'll make yet another one with that in the title for clarity. Whatever

S-Pen Approved Screen Protectors

This thread's purpose is to help new Note 10.1 users find a screen protector that's sure to work well with S-Pen
The mods could make this a sticky for the convenience of new Note 10.1 users.

Sand scratches our screens very easily. Sand is everywhere, and can collect anywhere. It's basically just quartz, and when it sticks to something and rubs the screen, it ruins it.

I'll be getting the Acase screen protector soon from amazon so expect me to update on that. I've read good reviews on amazon about it.

I was thinking about a Spigen Screen protector. I think that the clear one for the GNote 10.1 is actually called Spigen Ultra Crystal (and not "Ultra Clear").
There's also a "Matte" version that is called Ultra Fine (Anti-Fingerprint)
I've read good reviews about the latter one here but I haven't bought it (yet).
Spigen page for the GNote 10.1 is here

Most Official accessories SUCK.
Learned it the hard way with the Asus Transformer TF101. The official case was twice the price, and a QUARTER of the quality of the AFTER MARKET cases.

Be careful with the Matte ones, many complain about scratchiness of the S-Pen on such surfaces.
Update us on how it turns out for you.

I got the acase screen protector. I love it! Leaves no scratches from spen and it feels better then glass. Let me know if you want pictures or maybe even a video.

Yes, please do tell of your experience in any way you can.
I'll post your review link in the OP.

The re-designed Ghost Armor screen protectors work perfectly. Have had one on mine for over a week now. I am drawing on my Note daily and there are no scratches on the protector at all. I got the full body shield so it was a little expensive, but I just like their product and have it on all of my devices. I've seen a few posts here mention that Ghost Armor on the original Note phone was no good and scratched easily. If you decide to go with Ghost Armor, make sure it is the NEW version if you're ordering from a kiosk. I also waited the painstakingly long 48 hours before using a pen on the screen.

clearplex
I used the clearplex screen protector and they are very nice. They boast that they are like zagg invi shield and protects the screen from breaks and stuff. They use the same material they use for car windshields. They have excellent customer service because I had a problem installing it because of my own mistake and i called them and they happily sent me a new one. (They have a 1 year warranty on the protector.) $19 is a very cheap price.
It feels like glass, looks like glass. And installation is very easy, you dont have to worry about the air bubbles that normal screen protectors have. i give it 9/10. -1 point because it takes a few days before the streaking fades away and you had to use the squeegee to maintain the bond for a few days. Other than that, I am pretty happy with this

I never got ghost armor before and am considering it. Can they put it on at the kiosk the same day you come in or do you need to leave your device there?

Could the people who post recommendations please write a bit about how and what they use the tab for! This will be helpful for users in similar scenario to decide which one to go for that suits their specific use needs.
For example;
Screen protector name, price and possible link -
Device main use -
Pros -
Cons-
Etc,
Klau1 could then collate this info into the first post with links etc.

I'm still waiting on mine. It's supposed to be here today but I've ran into an issue with tracking order .
Did you get the clear one or the matte one?

I got the clear one...you'll love it! Sorry I haven't had time to post a review yet, but trust me its the best screen protector I've ever had. I put mine on in the bathroom with shower on and didnt really take my time but it still turned out beautiful.

As long as they have the protector there at the kiosk they can put it on the same day you go in. It took about 45 minutes for them to install mine because after they put it on they place it in a heat box to help it dry faster. If they don't have the protector they will order it and call you when it's in. I had to do that once and it took about 7 days to get there since my kiosk only gets shipments once a week.

I agree, a lot of the posts here just mention that the screen protector is "good". But neglects to describe the S-PEN experience with it.
The S-PEN functionality is the purpose of this thread so it's important to comment on that, before I can post it to the OP.

Looking for a TGSP that is flat, does not cover the edge. Know of any?

As the title says i'm looking for a flat TGSP. I've found that even though i miss maybe +/- 10% of the total glass being covered it's still better than nothing. I haven't found a curved TGSP for my s6 or s7 edge that i liked, and i've tried hundreds of dollars worth.. There is always some sort of issue with the full screen protectors. Whether it's Halo, poor touch, case incompatibility, poor adhesive, crap oleophobic coating, etc.
I put a flat protector on my s7 edge and loved it. For me, scratching the screen while in my pocket seems to be my biggest issue. With a flat TGSP that issue is gone. I'm using the Verizon curved TGSP on my s8+ now but i hate it. The fit is better than most, but i get a mirror effect, especially while outside, it's very hard to read the display. The oleophobic coating is horrible or non existent. Fingerprints show up like i'm at a crime scene. If anyone has ran across a flat protector that does not cover the edge please post a link or brand. Thanks so much!!

I have asked this same question several times in other Tempered glass screen protector threads. My posts get completely ignored. Bottom line is that curved protectors DO NOT WORK on these phones. They are terrible. Literally hundreds and hundreds of posts of people trying out different brands, etc, and they all suck. The only thing that works is a tempered screen protector that covers only the FLAT part of the display. I had one on my Note 7 and it worked great, I had one on my S7E and it worked great. I can't seem to find one for the S8+ yet which is why I have been asking in several threads if anyone has found a place to buy a flat area only tempered screen protector. So hopefully someone has and chimes in on this thread!!

I'd much rather have a great quality flat glass than a POS curved one any day.If i find one i'll certainly post it. Please do the same if you find one. I guess i could take some measurements and see what i can find from other devices...although the strange length of this screen I probably wouldn't have much luck.

I ordered the flat one listed on ebay. Honestly, it doesn't look like it'll be very good - square corners, just looks subpar, BUT I bet it will at least stay on the display properly. I bought two of them, they are shipped from Canada and with shipping the 2 came out to be $12 total. I will report back when I have one on. I am sure there will be more/better options for a flat only area tempered screen protector as time goes on. For now hopefully this does the job well enough.

It seems xtremeguard.com sells it flat only and full protection as well.
They do have specials
https://slickdeals.net/f/10060528-x...ee-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1
I ordered one but wasn't expecting it to be flat.
This should cost with the 93% off coupon around $6 for 2.

I won't be installing it. As not a type of screen protector I'll use.
Didn't realize it was a flat screen protector. Lol.
That's the reason I posted here. To let you guys know of another option.

Ahh, OK. Thanks. You should install anyways since you have it. Flat tempered are the only kind of tempered that work on the curved edge displays. Unless you are planning on sending it back.

Have you guys taken a look at this thread yet? https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...maybe-glass-screen-protector-looking-t3596178
Uses a UV cured adhesive for full curve screen. I've never seen any protector like it before. Have one on order as well to try it out.

Eizitek Partial Glass Screen/ Full Glass

ust purchased this one partial screen TGSP, seems to be perfect for people with a decent case that has a raised lip/Edge
They also have a full coverage and compatible case for it with a discount for buying both. I will be using with my spigen thin fit case.
Will update thread after i recieve in 2 days.[/QUOTE]
Well i forgot to take a picture with my other phone but the above mentioned partial glass screen protector did perfect with my spigen thin fit case. The glad doesn't touch the case so no lifting.
Touch response is perfect and it's real glass highly recommended.
They are sending a full glass screen and back cover snap on case to me as well. So happy i found this product.
I have had no less than 10 conversations with customer service at the company about the process.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073TQZHPC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There is the link to the partial glass.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073SL88NW?ie=UTF8&m=A2FAFKPP1BIX7G
There is the link to the case to go with the full glass.
Highly highly recommend!!
If your are not in the US below is there email to contact directly maybe they will ship.
Btw i have a S8 but they carry both for s8 s8+
. [email protected] is the best way to reach us

Looks like a regular $8 piece of tempered glass that will lift after a week. Other protectors there look like non-case friendly protectors you can find on aliexpress for $2 a pop. Pass.

Is this a vendor post? If so, shouldn't it be marked as such? Why does the post end with "the best way to reach us" if it's by someone who bought their product?

Why simple if you check my post on the S8 accessories thread someone ask if they ship to Canada, I responded I would ask vendor and reply in thread.
The company replied "best way to reach us" in a message to me. So i copy/posted in the thread.
Didn't think it would come across as a vendor advertisment. Check Best Glass Screen Protector thread in S8 accessories you can see the everything there

UV LOCA + Curved Tempered Glass = Cheap Dome Full Protected???

Hi XDA Members/Admin/Mods,
Before posting this new thread I tried to search if someone already asked this and found nothing, so i will start this new thread. thanks
My goal is to buy UV loca 1000/2500 and a curved glass screen protector with adhesives on the side ( to be removed ) to get a Whitestone Dome Glass LIKE finished product.
I want to ask if anyone tried this and if the glue will alter the touch functions or similar stuffs.
Thanks for your future replies.
ps. lmk if this is only a waste of time and money or worth trying for.
