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.
This device mount gorilla glass 3.i trust it.But maybe the display under gorilla glass is tooo weak.damn i had a s4 used without protection for 2 years.absolutely no scratches.Besides use display protection with the zenfnone2's low brightness woud be bad.i have this zenfone from 2 months and an ugly scratch is often visible.so i think the display is weak.s4 has gorilla glass 3 too but its diplay is stronger itself,without considering the gorilla glass.this thing annoy me
Had mine for 2 week without screen protection and it had small scratches all over. Keep in mine i had the asus flip cover with it witch is covered the whole time it was inside my pocket and so. I dont know what the cause of this. But i order an tempered glass to protected it from now on

I use a simple & cheap protection foil and it works well. No problems with brightness.
You can enhance the brightness by changing a setting in the asus energy app. I don't know exactly - removed the app

Agreed with this guy. Mine's perfect? Maybe you put it in the same pocket as keys or something?
My dog stepped all over my screen and it's fine. lol Not even micro scratches.
No guys, i put it in quite secure places. Maybe in the same pocket of the lighter or the keys something like 1 or 2 times. However is a shallow and tiny scratch but sometimes it's visible and it's annoying
I have a couple minor scratches that aren't noticeable with screen on maybe 1 cm or so. . I have a glass protector on the way. . Don't know what caused it maybe the time I accidently put phone in pocket with screwdriver. Anyway hopefully screen protector hurries up from China

I put a screen protector on after about 1 week. The glass was flawless at the time. The screen protector now has several scuffs and scratches, but I'm hopeful that the glass under it is still in perfect shape.

Oh it's fine. If you ever have a spare one lying around or feel like testing buy a cheap one on eBay and it with a hammer. Not at full force obviously but if you just let gravity do the work for you it may not even Crack on first try.

I once saw an S4 with a very long scratch, maybe 4-5 centimeters long, after less than a week of use. You have to remember that no matter what, sand is the same hardness as the screen (glass is made of sand, after all ) and will scratch it.
Easiest solution, get a tempered glass screen protector. They're about $5 on ebay. If it gets scratched or cracked, replace it...
They work fine and I've had no problems with it...

I strongly agreed. In fact, I'd say phone makers should just stop using those fancy monkey-named glass to keep the price low, and let the customers spend the money on the tempered glass protector - or just make it standard accessories.

What do they feel like though? My sister has a screen protector oh her iPhone and it feels all plastic and horrible compared to the original screen; not sure what she used however. Does the tempered glass actually feel like glass?
Got to dedicate the right front pocket to only your smartphone. Do this and you'll never get scratches.

The tempered glass screen protectors are naturally quite rigid before application, but bizarrely I wasn't able to find many glass ones for this when I was looking. Perhaps it's something to do with the very flat profile that the body has around the screen, such would have a very discernible "step" between the screen and the body. I have a protector made by Celicious, which is some type of polyurethane and it seems to be doing a great job, not the typically easily-scuffed plastic protectors. Has anyone else used a tempered glass protector for the Zenfone 2 and what are your thoughts on it?

I have 2 Zenfone 2's. Both have glass screen protectors. The ones I bought have a curved edge and are really good.
Glass will always feel like glass (these are NOT plastic or anything else). Just make sure to get the version with the left hand side proximity sensor cutout as there were problems reported with complete glass versions where the screen wouldn't come back on after calls.
No real problems but if possible try to get oleophobic coating as it will cut down on fingerprints though a quick wipe will fix it if you don't have this.
As I said $5AUD on ebay for these, here - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/371300680925?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I have tempered glass too..it surely protects...just be sure proximity sensor not covered by the tempered glass...mine has a cut specifically for that..

I bought this one http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00SMAC0BW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 on 1st july and it has no scratches at all (had the phone 2 weeks before that and no scratches there neither).
Also got the black hardcover (which includes a pretty ****ty protective plastic foil)
Btw, keys etc shouldn't be able to scratch the screen at all. Even with quite a bit of force (just tested it ... you can feel if it's just gliding smooth over the screen). Sand can have particles in it which are hard enough

Nope, it's for the proximity sensor. I have 2 on right now... The pictures are done wrong. The last screen without the phone is the right orientation...
Hello,
I am looking to purchase a new Samsung Galaxy S8+ screen protector. I was planning on getting this case but I had wanted a screen protector as well to protect such a device. Any suggestions? I've looked online and heard to find a good one is rare due to the fact of the curved edges as well as it being an expensive phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Side-Note: Any suggestions for another case would be nice as well, I like the one linked above but something with a slim factor would be nice too!

Idk I've gone through 3 screen protectors with the same case listed above for some reason the case grabs the side of the screen protectors and it bubbles up I tried two expensive tempered glass screen protectors and each one with that same case popped off my phone so irritated right now I'm using just my bro hybird case with no screen protection

I am also in searching of some good glass... Unfortunately, all reports are so far divided. Some could manage put some glass, the others have more problems... In the other theme GravX put an interesting video with test samples with full adhesive tempered glass from alibaba. Itnwill take some time, until this will be available on amazon

It is worth it. I screwed up the install and they sent me a new tube of glue and screen protector for free.
I finally just gave up on finding a tempered glass protector I opted for a liquid glass nano screen protector applied two coats and slapped my case on no scratches nothing and I always end up throwing my phone in my pocket with my keys highly satisfied also barely any smudges it's legit for those have any trouble I recommend liquid glass Qdamix liquid glass to be exact
Fyi don't be the idiot who still doesn't have a military grade case on it.. if you drop the phone without a case the screen will crack period with a tempered glass or not so don't be an idiot and think this is gonna make the phone bullet proof nah it just prevents scratches nothing else!

Be careful, that liquid screen protector stuff is mostly snake oil. I've been caught out with it before and ended up with scratches just with the phone being in my pocket.
Screen Protectors for Samsung S8 Plus
Ounier Galaxy S8 Plus Tempered Glass Screen Protector, [Case Friendly][Easy Installation Tray] 3D Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector (Black)
Due to curved edges of Galaxy S8 Plus, traditional full screen glass screen protectors will generate a halo effect on the edges. We have developed a Dot Matrix glass screen for Galaxy S8 Plus, which offers full screen protection without any bubbles or halo effects. This is accomplished with state of the art technology by placing hundreds of microscopic transparent dots on the screen protector to mimic the contact of your finger on the screen.
I'm using Spigen Glas.Tr full cover glass. Definitely recommend!

Would installing this Screen Protector on a screen with a little scratch FUBAR the installation?
Force Glass is no good
Hi,
I have this glass protection supposedly life guaranteed but it left bubbles on my screen even with the set up device included.
i buy the glass protectors that show a hammer hitting the screeen and then for an added measure when i put my phone in my pocket i turn the screen towards my leg
When I first got my S8+, I was worried the back glass would scratch easy (turns out I was right ), so I wanted to protect it, even though I knew I would have a case on it. I've seen dirt get between phones and cases before and cause horrible scratches.
I first tried a clear wet application skin from BSE, but I could never make it look right. The midnight black shoes every imperfection and bubble, whereas my wife's Orchid Grey looks perfect with the skin on. You can't tell it's there, even on the sides.
So I began thinking it would be nice if someone made a tempered glass protector for the back. The sides are curved, but so is the screen, and there's plenty of TGSPs on the market. But I couldn't find any.
Then last week I saw one on Amazon. It comes with a full screen TGSP, a TGP for the back, and a TGP for the camera. Link is below.
It appears the back protector is like other TGSPs. It has no glue on the middle, just along the edges. That's not a big deal, as I would apply it like I did my TGSP. I would remove the adhesive strip on the edge and use LOCA to adhere it fully to the phone. Most camera lens TGPs get horrible reviews on Amazon, so it would likely go in the trash.
I'm trying to decide what to do. Here are my pros and cons, but I wanted everyone else's opinion, and also want to know if anyone else has any experience with this set. Again, I'm currently using a TGSP for the screen, so this is a question about the TGP for the BACK.
Pros:
*Protection for the back cover as well as the front.
*Protects from scratches and adds some drop protection
*Protectors are both glass, so it would still feel like a naked device.
*Back protector is Crystal clear, and with LOCA, would show off the beautiful black back glass without any bubbles, glare, etc.
*Glass doesn't get marks and dents like wet application protectors.
Cons:
*It would (probably) be too thick to use a case, so increased chance of damage if dropped.
*These TGSPs typically use cheap oleophobic coatings, so it would still be a fingerprint magnet on the back.
*This would leave a ridge around the screen and the back protector, so it MAY make it uncomfortable to hold.
*No protection for the side frame
*It will scratch (but can always be replaced)
*I wish the cutouts were more precise. I'd like three separate cutouts for camera and sensors, not one big one. Would make it more seemless.
Again, looking for other thoughts and opinions and any experience.
No offense, but if all you have to say is that you go naked and have no scratches, or that you don't like screen protectors, then please don't reply. I'm not interested in a screen protector debate. I'm only interested in your opinions about this particular set and using a protector on the back. Also, I know about the liquid nano stuff and have no interest in it. I've seen all the reviews.
Thanks!
