[Screen Protector Review] - Just Like Glass

Film Attributes
Feel:
Very smooth
Thickness:
Fairly Thin (positive point)
Light Permeability:
Very good
Texture:
Clear
Reflectiveness:
same as bare screen, high
S-Pen Feel:
Glass Smooth
Touch Feel:
Glass Smooth
Fit/Size
Perfect, slight bit of room, but not too much, for installation tolerance making installation easier
Film Material:
hard, seemingly not easy to dent, unlike Skinomi style films (tho Skinomi's are even thinner, so might have slightly better light permeability).
Installation:
Method: Wet
Package contents: 1 film, thin black Cloth, Installation Card, 8x11" Card board (used to prevent bending during shipping), atomizer (used to wet the film)
The cloth is crap, it leaves lint on the screen.
No card or squeegee
Comments
The first installation failed due to the use of the included cloth. Do not use the cloth. Eventually I exchanged a new Note 10.1 and left the manufacture film on until the replacement JLG film came in. And this second time around, I pulled the manufacturer film off and immediately put the JLG on, avoiding the need to use cloth. This time the installation worked great.
The bubbles are still around after 3 days, but they're steadily disappearing.
However we do notice smudges, typical for crystal clear films (it's seems to be the trade off for high light permeability)
Though, these should be easy to wipe off with some soapy water.

The edges fail to completely stick, though it's very thin, so dust should not too likely get stuck inside.
I suspect this is due to the cutting method used to make these films. The edges are not completely flat.
NEWLY ADDED: 1 week after install
Especially bad here, where it's clear a dust particle has lodged itself.
NEWLY ADDED: 1 week after install
You can also notice a slight rainbow effect:
This has been commented on by other users of this screen protector.
This was not noticed on Spigen's Clear screen protectors.
NEWLY ADDED: 1 week after install
Rainbow affect is pretty apparent at some viewing angles when the device is off.
When the device is on, it's less visible depending on the brightness and color of the screen.
(some say this is typical of wet install films)

Could be better. The shipping really kills the value.

I might recommend Spigen over Just Like Glass, based on my experience with the Spigen Ultra Clear on the BB Playbook.

are you using the blue rock case? I love that case! smells kind of funny, though.
I don't like to use screen protectors on my note. With a cover, I don't really see how the screen could possibly get scratched anyways. Plus I'd rather have scratches than bubbles everywhere O:
Nevertheless nice review

That would drive my ocd insane. I just use screen wipes and a decent rubberised feel cloth. (Never dry a damp screen, just let it air dry. Only takes seconds) The one I got was either with my tv or monitor. I would never use any other cloths, as I found to my cost cleaning my og tab
I use my tab every day and in the 4 or 5 months since I got it have one tiny little scratch which was from a day one drop.

Even with Gorilla Glass and a case cover, over time, you will see micro scratches on the screen. You just have to carefully look at the screen under a light.
Hard Sand like dust particles will always find a way to get in between the Case cover and the screen if you don't have a Screen Protector.

NEWLY ADDED:
You can also notice a slight rainbow effect:

It's a balanced review.
The cloth is included by the manufacturer. Originally they supplied a much higher quality cloth but it's become inconsistent. I'm ordering 6 by 6 inch ultra high quality cloths to include with each protector. The last thing we want is a problem with the protector because of including a cheap cloth that can be upgraded easily.
We cannot include a squeegee. If you have a wet install then ZAGG has the patent on including a spray bottle with a squeegee. They are currently suing every manufacturer who includes them both.
I have experimented with alternated ways to get the solution on however it needs to be sprayed on because the mist sticks to the protector evenly - dipping it in the solution did not work.
I am working on an alternative to the squeegee.
The rainbow is there and I can't say it will change - it's part of the way the protector is made. Most people are fine with it since you can't see it with the screen on.
The first picture you put up tells me you didn't get the moisture out. The number one thing in installing a wet protector is to get as much of the moisture out as possible. Our first video did not stress that enough and we have a new video coming out today that will.
One thing I am consistent on is customer service. I will send a replacement especially to those here on XDA - all you have to do is ask.

Review of Anker Tempered Glass premium screen protector for S5 w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Anker Tempered Glass premium screen protector for Galaxy S5. http://www.ianker.com/product/77SMGLXS5-1T1A
Let me start this review with a basic explanation of PET Film vs Tempered Glass screen protectors. Film is for scratch protection. Direct impact will shatter your display glass even with 4H hardness film screen protector. Tempered Glass offers scratch and impact protections where these are typically rated at 9H hardness and will absorb direct impact, shattering only in extreme case. If you want ultimate protection - tempered glass is the way to go! Until recently, tempered glass screen protectors used to be thick and heavy, and used adhesive which sometimes wasn't sticking on the edges (thicker glass, less flexibility, worse edge adhesion). Also, in the past you had not too many choices, and tempered glass protectors were very expensive. A lot of this has changed today, and Anker's new product is an example of it. Here is what I found.
It arrived in a very secure slim package with all the necessary installation instructions and accessories. I have dealt with other brand name premium tempered glass screen protectors in the past, and this package was as complete as any other which cost 2x-3x as much. You get your generous size micro-fiber cloth, bubble removal tab (plastic, not some cheap carton), a sticker for dust removal, alcohol prep pad, detailed instructions, and one tempered glass screen protector, very carefully packaged. Installation is very easy, a lot simpler than with a film protector. First of all, you need a dust free environment and a clean non-static surface. I use our kitchen granite top island, where I do all of my reviews. Make sure your hands are washed with a soap and dried afterwards. Another trick I use - ALWAYS install screen protector without my t-shirt (yeah, topless!!! ). You know how much you read on the internet about "go to your bathroom, let the shower run to get rid off dust in the air, blah, blah, blah". Sure, you get rid of dust in the air, and then you lean over your phone to install screen protector, specks of dust from your t-shirt get in there by static lol!!! So anyway, make sure hands are clean, phone display is wiped with alcohol pad to get rid off oil, and then still wipe it with a micro-fiber cloth so there is no dust.
The installation itself is easy because unlike thin film screen protector which bends in your hands, you can hold tempered glass by the edge with your fingers without bending so it's easy to align it with a phone. Be careful because you will have about a mil of margin to fit it between edges of the phone frame. But don't worry, if you mess it up, just lift the screen protector with your finger nail and apply it again. I did it 3 times with mine until I got it perfect. You will know when it's perfect when you can squeeze all the air bubbles from underneath (first time it wasn't sticking along right edge until I realized I overlapped it with a phone edge). Finally it went on like a butter, no bubbles, perfect adhesion around edges, and worked well with UAG case.
Now, about this glass protector itself. It's very thin, only 0.33mm thick. The touch feeling is like a perfect glass display, very smooth. Nearly perfect transparency. Anker has it in a spec as 94% light penetration, while to me it was like nothing on top of the screen. It has 9H hardness, anti-chip rounded edges, shatter proof so in case of direct hard impact it won't shatter into tiny sharp pieces. Also, it's smudge and fingerprint resistant, thanks to oleophobic coating.
Overall, I was very impressed with a quality of Anker's tempered glass screen protector and very pleased with end results after installation. It definitely has a premium spec comparable to other brand name tempered glass protectors, it doesn't distort or alter the color of the screen, it feels like a real smooth glass and thin enough not too add extra bulk to your S5, and the most important - it should give you a piece of mind beyond just a basic scratch protection. This one gets my high recommendation!
Here are the pictures.

How's the fingerprint scanning with the screen protector on? Any difference?

Gotta ask my wife, it's her phone Not even sure if she has it enabled. But don't see why it would be a problem. Home button is open so it shouldn't cause any problem. Due to glass being thin, it will be easy to slide the finger. I'm using on my Note 2 Seidio VITREO glass which is twice as thick, and you can really feel a cavity around home button. So to answer your question, it should NOT be a problem since S5 home button is open and not recessed too much.

Looks nice but unfortunately the link from the Anker site to Amazon US brings up a plastic film product from Anker. I searched everywhere in Amazon and can't find the glass screen protector.
White definitely looks better than the black, it gives a nice contrast. Now I wish I would have got a white phone instead.

I have a Spigen glass tr slim and it's actually easier to use the fingerprint scanner with it on. I believe it's .23mm though.

It was temporary sold out, now it's back in stock. Check that link again!

How does the protector handle getting wet? More, specifically, can the adhesive around the edges survive water?

Best case and curved glass screen protector combo

Looking for a good curved tempered glass protector (tried 2 different ones and they've both gotten dust under them in less than 48hrs and the corners have the annoying sticking/clicking issue) and a case that won't push on the glass as I suspect that's my biggest issue, my current case pushes against the glass protectors i've tried and doesn't allow them to fully adhere.
Currently have the spigen rugged armor on my phone, it was just the first one i've tried (and we all know it takes trying several before we find just the right one) so let me know what case/glass combo you've got that's working perfectly for you!

My Pixel 2 XL hasn't arrived yet but from my experience with my S7 edge I never found a good curved screen protector. Unfortunately the curves mean that adhesion to the screen is terrible, touch response problems and/or dust under the screen is unavoidable.

I have Amfilm updated version and Spigen Neo Hybrid. They are perfectly matched, with no lint traps along any of the edges. Only part of the phone with no protector coverage is the small gap between the speakers and the case lip.

I got a weird no brand NXET 3D curve and it's not that bad, waiting for a VRS Design black case and an IntelliArmor that should be a worthy combo

I had to abandon my first screen protector because my Spigen Rugged Armor was pushing on the sides, causing it to click and lift up. I'm waiting on my IntelliGlass 3D protector to ship. Hopefully that ones a tiny bit narrower as I like my base, but would like to get a protector on as well.

Whitestones are good on the Samsung. Though the price is high and the install is a little tougher. Hopefully we get a Whitestone for the 2 xl.

amFilm Tempered Glass paired with the Suensan TPU case is absolutely perfect, in my opinion. The coverage is as close to 100% as you are going to get. The amFilm protector (version 2) has excellent adhesive and doesn't get smudged up with fingerprints. The Suensan TPU case is a very firm fit with excellent responsive buttons. And I was pleased to see that using squeeze for assistant doesn't push the case into the protector.
I HIGHLY recommend this combo.

Give it a bit. I have heard a lot of people talking about dust getting under those as time goes on.

Eh, in time that's bound to happen with any curved protector that only adheres around the edges. Dust always makes its way in at some point. This has been the case on my last 2 phones (OnePlus 3 and Pixel XL), no matter what brand I used, including Spigen, Orzly, amFilm etc.
With that said, the Version 1 amFilm for the 2 XL had terrible adhesive and the protector barely stayed on the phone. Within 2 days I had dust underneath. The only reason why I bothered with another one was because it developed a crack on the top corner, out of nowhere, and they sent me a replacement for free. The Version 2 is a whole different story and is much improved. It has the stickiest adhesive I've used on any curved TG protector in the past 2 years and has the most difficult to see dot matrix I've seen on any prior protector.
Overall, it is a great option and I'd buy it again if I had to. I'm almost 2 weeks in with no dust underneath and while I know it's inevitable that some will make its way in, I don't anticipate it happening any time soon.

Spigen Rugged Armor paired with Moshi IonGlass

I'm running with the Diztronic and a temporary Zagg. All of these first-run TGSPs are horrible and rainbow like crazy but I don't think I can do any better at the moment.
This dot matrix craze has poisoned the entire market.

I don't know what you mean. I just checked and it's available on their website.
I got it from local TELUS (canadian mobile provider) store. TGSP has adhesive just around borders but it's great and most important... no dot matrix.

I'd love to know more about the Moshi molded TGSP for the P2XL. I've got a Zagg / Invisible Shield on mine now -- installed courtesy of Verizon (while I choked on the price), along with a Speck Presidio case. The phone is protected, but the Invisible Shield is NOT the right fit for the nice curved screen - it's flat, can't extend to the curved edges, catches dust, etc. However it DOES protect the screen for the moment.
Anyway - the Moshi protectors are here:
https://www.moshi.com/moshicom-ionglass-screen-protector-pixel-2-xl
I'd just love to see some reviews before dropping another $35 on yet another accessory. Does the curved shape match the edges of the P2XL properly? How do the cutouts fit? What's it like having only the edges stuck down (is that how it works?) and do you see gaps in the middle?
It shouldn't be so hard / painful to get a properly fitting TGSP for a new flagship phone like this!

Pixel 3 Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Are you going to get a Tempered Glass Screen Protector for your Pixel 3? I might give caseology a try on this one but I'm probably going to wait at least a month to see reviews.
For now I'm going to try this

Get a few from these guys while you're waiting. Keep your screen somewhat protected until we have time to figure out the best screen protectors.

These flexible glass screen protectors have been a game changer for me.
http://www.protectionfilms24.com/ar...n-protector-clear-google-pixel-3-2733580.html
I prefer thin cases and traditional tempered glass is so thick that it sticks up beyond the lip of my case. These protect like glass, but flex just enough to not shatter on the first drop.
I am not affiliated with Brotect in any way. Just sharing my experience.

Until Whitestone Dome comes out with a screen protector for the Pixel 3/XL (or Belkin joins the Made for Google gang), you can pretty much guarantee that all options are going to provide a sub-optimal experience (rainbow effect, smaller than the viewable display, weak and visible adhesive, etc).
I've ordered the Verizon branded one so it's ready for when my phone arrives. I'm not optimistic in the least bit, but it's some sort of protection until hopefully Whitestone drops some love on the P3.

I hope you're right that Whitestone Dome comes out with their own version for the pixel 3. I love the one that's on my pixel 2 XL. It's perfect no bubbles

I too purchased the Verizon glass screen protector for my Pixel 3 but, when WhiteStone comes out with theirs I will def buy. Had one on my S9 and it was the total best experience for a glass screen protector. As long as you follow the directions and have patience it far outweighs any other protector with regard to clarity, screen adhesion, and toughness.

My Pixel 3 XL arrived this am sooner than expected. Was thinking of stoping by the Verizon Store to see if they have any of theirs in stock until something solid starts to surface. I have Whitestone on XL 2. It's shattered and cracked but great!! I ordered a Bodyguard but thinking of canceling it. Anyone got pics of anything installed? IntelliArmor, Verizon, etc.? Already seeing the cheap China brand reviews pop up on Amazon as bunk. Just hoping something is decent since the curve seems not so extreme.

Installed the Verizon protector last night and have to say it's not bad at all. I like that it has adhesive all over vs just the edges, so no rainbow effect. Took my time to align with masking tape (make sure the screen is lit when you do it) and I'm very happy with the end result. I had bubbles that wouldn't initially go away, but figured they would once the screen warmed up (and they did). The fit is also great, covers all of the viewable display.
I'd say this one is a winner (esp. for the price).

Do your edges lift? I stopped in a store yesterday and let them apply it. It does not stick around all the side edges and a few places on the bottom and top edges.

Did they use a template to apply it or guesstimate the application? I had mine arrive in the mail so I installed it myself. I don't have any lifting on the edges. You can try to warm up your screen by having it play a video for 20-30 mins then try pressing down on the edges that are coming up. Might work.

Nah, he eyeballed it. He also had to pull it and reset it a few times so I think he exceeded the capacity of the adhesive to handle it. I can take it in and let them try again or get a refund. Good to know there is a chance it can stick. I might hit it with a hair dryer today. I agree with you looks like it should stick.

I know it's not tempered glass but the LK wet install screen protector fits very well and the install is easy (for a wet install).
I generally don't like these type of screen protectors, but thought this would be a good quick option to hold me over until better ones are available.

I just received the iq shield 9h blah blah blah, from Amazon, and it came right back off. Worse than an old otterbox. I'll be returning it on Monday. It doesn't touch at all at the top and bottom, and barely in the middle.
I really liked their liquid skin on my one plus 3, will be going back to a soft screen protector.

Used tempered glass on my old n4 and n6 and never looked back. Tried to give the cover on the poetic case a chance for a day but I just didn't feel it had the same protection if I kept keys in my pocket. Might prevent surface scratches but would not re-distribute pressure along the entire screen if it ever pushed too hard against it. tempered glass protectors are on the way.

Is anyone using the ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass+ for the regular Pixel 3 and can give some feedback?

I hope you're right that Whitestone Dome comes out with their own version for the pixel 3. I love the one that's on my pixel 2 XL. It's perfect no bubbles

Whitestone never released a screen protector for the regular pixel 2. Not sure they will for the 3 either.

These flexible glass screen protectors have been a game changer for me.

I prefer thin cases and traditional tempered glass is so thick that it sticks up beyond the lip of my case. These protect like glass, but flex just enough to not shatter on the first drop.
I am not affiliated with Brotect in any way. Just sharing my experience.

Flexible glass screen protector installed. Edges aren't perfect, but it has good coverage around sensor and camera cutouts. Plus, it's super thin and doesn't touch the surface when placed face down.
Not bad for only $5

They did, I have one on my Pixel 2 right now

Looks interesting. Prices on their site are in GBP. Does this ship from Europe and if so how long does it take to get to the USA?

[REVIEW] UltimateShield Tempered Glass Screen Protector OP7 Pro

This will be a short review which hopefully helps OP7 Pro owners wether they should buy the tempered glass protector from Ultimate Shield or not. Please take your time and read the whole review
PRODUCT PAGE
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/products/oneplus-7-pro-tempered-glass-screen-protector
This might be the time to add that Ultimate Shield did not tell me to write this, I bought the screen protector because I have used their OP5 tempered glass in the past and was satisfied with that one. In case the pictures don't show on your screen, I've attached them in a zip file down below.
What do you get?
For £11.99 (~14€ / ~15$) and free worldwide you get one screen protector, instructions, dust removal stickers (which I forgot when taking the picture), a microfiber cloth and a wet cloth.
I bought it because I wanted a tempered glass screen protector which is curved so I can protect the whole display including the curved edges.

What about applying it?
The instructions are basically useless, since we're dealing with a screen protector which sticks to the phone with the adhesive side, so no bubbles, no "vacuum" or anything like that, as long as the display has been cleaned before nothing can go wrong, just make sure that the side slim black bar is alined with the top of the phone. Oh and you should remove the preapplied screen protector before putting this one on the display. After that it is important to apply preassure on the border of the screen protector to make it stick, and this is where things get critical, at least that is what happened to me. Even though it looks like I've prefectly placed the glass on top of the display some parts of the protector simply won't stick, or at least stick for a few minutes. I have added some photos where you can see a tiny gap. Keep in mind that I have applied A LOT of pressure on those parts, more than enough. The screen protector has rounded corners and a curved edge, it covers about 99 percent of the display.
What about colours and sharpness of the display with the screen protector?
After applying the screen protector I haven't noticed any kind of weird colour shifting or rainbow effect. It still looks as sharp as before, but due to reflections the edge of the display has some minor rainbow effect. I only notice that at a specific angle and when the background is white. Oh and it doesn't seem to cut off any part of the screen.
What about the fingerprint reader?
After deleting the old fingerprints and adding new ones with the screen protector applied the fingerprint scanner works 99/100 times, it might take a split second longer than without it, but I didn't have any issues.
What about the touchscreen and gestures?
This is where I got frustrated. After using the phone with the tempered glass I instantly noticed that the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as it was before. "alright", I said to myself, "It is completely normal that it feels different now". Unfortunately this is why I would personally not buy this screen protector again. I had to apply more pressure than ususal when tapping on an icon and so on. Sometimes the touchscreen didn't register even though my finger clearly touched the glass. This was very annoying when using the keyboard, in almost every sentence at least one or two characters where simply missing because the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as before. Same story with gestures, you need a lot more pressure and when swping up or down in order to open the app drawer or notifications it sometimes works but sometimes it takes up to three tries in order to get the gesture to work. In comparison, without the tempered glass screen protector I had no issues at all.
SUMMERY
Applying it was easy but when I did it it didin't stick as good as I hoped it would. The tempered glass screen protector doesn't really change colours, which is a good thing. THe touchscreen experience was comparable with one of those older smartphones where you had to use more force and it wasn't as accurate. Overall, I can not recommend it for the price, unless you use the touchscreen with a lot of force. If you think that I didn't apply it correctly feel free to "call me out" in the comment section and tell me how you would have done it.
UPDATE
Since the tempered glass didn't stick very well anyway I went ahead and carefully removed it and moved it about 1mm downward. Unfortunately the touchscreen is still not responsive enough to use the keyboard without any issues which is why I contacted Ultimate Shield directly via Email. (still waiting for them to reply)
FINAL UPDATE
They answered and after looking at the images I send them they said that it might be faulty because according to them the black adhesive should stick much better than it did in my case. They were kind enough to give me a refund! If you bought one and had a much better experience please tag me so I can quote your opinion!

Probably cus it's not full adhesive. We need to wait for Whitestone or something like that

Probably, I think my application was good, I guess the adhesive can't do the job when it comes to the curved edges...

Too bad OP didn't release one at launch. I assume they will down the road like they did with the 6T.

Well the 7 is just the 6T, so they just have to update the packaging

Not trying to be funny but was there an indication on the protector as to where the top/bottom was?

Well the flap of the protective foil that was on the the glass was probably the indicator.
That and the fact that the bottom part of teh black frame was way wider than the upper part...
About 2mm of black adhesive on the buttom and 1mm on the top...
EDIT:
It wouldn't make sense to aline the the thicker black line with the thin bezel
I've sent UltimateShield an email concerning this issue.

I've ordered same protector for delivery tomorrow, getting the phone today so I'll give it a go, how is it with cases or have you not checked? I've ordered the Ringke Fusion-X too so would hope they'll work together.
Watched this video of the PureGear protector, from XDA fave TK Bay, which looks mucho pricey but seems to play nicely with, at least, official cases.

the glass doen't fully the cover the display, there's about 1 to 1.5mm between the tempered glass and the frame of the phone, I can use the transparent TPU case that came with the phone without any problems

Thank you for your review. I currently have a film on my screen now. I was thinking about purchasing a tempered glass shield for my 7 pro especially since T-Mobile has the Puregear one on sale for 10 bucks off (if I'm not mistaking) but I'm not sure.

I actually ordered the same tempered glass,but I noticed that it wasnt clear and that the black outline on the edges was the adhesive. It doesn't truly embrace the curved screen, but you can use it for the back of your phone. I glued to the back of my 7 Pro with the clear case on. Your phone will look like a beast

interesting approach xD

I'm waiting for this to show up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP5KJXV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seems like a Whitestone clone. Hoping it's decent.

Got one too. Install was super easy but like said in OP, sensitivity gets way worse. I would not recommend.

Do you know if the product is in stock?

Looks like the OP product was replaced by a newer full adhesive version:

The screen of my 7Pro looks like new. I never used a screen protector. Just the sandstone hardcase for the back.
