Losing my temper with temperd glass - G3 General

Anyone else having a time with the tempered glass protector? I just have says and tomes where it makes it non responsive.

Its affected your spelling too. Lol
I just put one of the icarez 0.2mm ones on tonight. So far touch responsiveness seems about the same. No dead spots so far.

I have the iCarez 0.3mm tempered glass protector and it isn't giving me any issues. If anything I think it's made the capacitive screen a little too responsive as I'm noticing just brushing the screen while it's off is activating the KnockOn at times.

Yeah I have the icarez as well and it works great.

No problems with the nillkin h9 !

They're not worth the cost. I went back to normal protectors.

Definitely affecting some part of the screen. I have ordered and going back to standard film screen protectors. My colleague has done so and the touch issue is gone after ditching glass protector.

I-blason 0.2mm here and everything great!

The icarez ones are only $10 or $12 depending on thickness. Not exactly a huge expense.

i have SGP Nano Glass and I have zero issues with it... Which one do you have?

I have the icarez .3mm one too and don't have any issue. I think I'd have preferred the .2mm once just so I don't feel it as much at the cutout piece at the top, but I'm happy with the .3mm one.

Some guys in the German Android Forum have the same problems
No matter which brand the Protector came from.
But only after using the glass protectors a week ore more
Zero Responsive in Games for example
Without Protector or a Film-Proctetor no problems at all.

I have the one from Verizon. it's 0.4mm thick (pause)
I bought it because I wasn't sure if I wanted to get the case from them or amazon, but feeling how it is a little odd in the hands (coming from a Galaxy Nexus with a case on at all times) I at least wanted to protect the screen.

iCarez .33mm version here with no issues

I don't usually mess them up but if you do, that adds up. The 3 pack for $5 does good enough imo.

Skinomi is a little bit thicker, so has more chance of orange peel and had a little bit of drag on my finger swipes. (Nit picking, it is slight)
I found skinomi to be better than zagg, although I've had a few skinomis that had a speckled glitter effect due to an uneven adhesive.
In my opinion, BSE is the best of all these wet skins.

I think they have a good warranty... And they are much better at marketing.
I picked up the Skinomi one. Wish it could get her when my nexus does.
I got one from Skinomi as well. Price got me but they all seem to be the same for me. Maybe I'll see, I'm used to third grade protectors from china lol.
I've had a Skinomi protector on my Sensation 4G for awhile. No peeling, I usually forget its there... don't throw your phone in your pocket with your keys. Turns out the Nexus 4 Skinomi product was already on my wishlist! lol
I have a Skinomi on my T-Mo Galaxy S2 and it is really nice. I have heard good things about Best Skins Ever so I might give them a try when I get my Nexus 4.

Not glass unfortunately. It's polyurethane so probably the next best thing in the regular plastic category. Would love a glass on this phone.

I don't think these ones cover the curved display.
Skinomi Blackberry Priv screen protector is a great alternative to glass. I honestly don't mind having it for now until I could find a glass shield that really fits.. IMO, it would be difficult for Manufacturers to come up with glass one due to the curvature of the device.
I'm more amazed that people aren't opting for, you know, a PRIVacy screen protector (I couldn't resist). Acurved glass one to top that would be awesome.
It would only make logical sense this way.
Just tried SupershieldZ works really well. Edge to edge covering.
can someone explain why the glass thing is better?

I have had clear coat (non glass) and black ice (glass) I prefer the feel of glass over the other screen protectors as its smooth the others all have a bit of "sticky" feeling or resistance, glass feels truest to the original screen.
But the main selling point for me on black ice (I sell cell phones) is its scratch proof, I can take keys to it with no issue. Heck I would stab my phone with a scissors to show customers how strong it was. I had 2 screens break with clear coat, falling from table hight or less. I dropped my g3 off the top of an 8foot. Ladder and it hit the ladder on the way down, cracked the black ice, phone was fine. Also black ice has a warranty, if it breaks you get a replacement for 10 bucks.

Tempered glass screen protectors offer a level of protection. I can say from personal experiences that having tempered glass screen protectors on phones my wife and I have both owned saved us from screen replacements due to drops. The screen protector broken before the screen did.

Should I use a the Edge without a screen protector?

I really have troubles finding a good screen protector for the device since Im not living in 1st world countries. Chinese ones have the curved parts peeled off after 1 or 2 days.
I'm ordering armorsuit films on Amazon and it takes a month to deliver, should I put away the device and wait for the protectors delivery before using it?
Yes imo use one keeps resell value high

I kind of gave up on searching for screen protectors too. I now use the phone without a screen protector, with just a back case (the official plastic one).

I had very bad experience with magnetic films (like Spigen one) on curved screens (s6 edge), the sides dont stick at all. The Armorsuit protectors work better since it is sillicon-like films (soft) with an abrasive layer to make sure it sticks, it has self healing to.

Awesome, I'll look into it.
How does the self healing mechanism work?
It heals minor scatches, go to their website for more info armorsuit.com
Not a fan of screen protectors on curved screens. Had a 920 back in the day (granted screen protector tech has come a long way) but i tried for a few weeks and then took it off.
Dont use them on any phone now, really all it does is stop scratches (which dont happen frequently with new gorilla glass).
If you want drop protection get a good case.
My s6 edge has some scratches after 3 days, though they're not deep but still leave minor distortions on screen which annoys me very much
I ordered the Ultimate shields and they work fine for me. Dificult to install tho

Been going case free since my Note 3 and protector free since my note 4. My Note 4 did get a scratch on the screen but I just couldn't stand the tempered glass protectors' terrible fit on the Note 4 and 5 and the soft protectors felt like crap when using the stylus... I'm not fond of the glare so I've got a Matte Skinomi screen protector on the way for the screen and one of their front and back film kits to just apply to the back side (it wasn't available in matte, hence the two orders)... We'll see. If I do end up getting a case it'll only be on the phone when I'm working in the garage or doing working on finishing my basement.

All these wet-apply protectors like Armorsuit are just awful; hideous orange-peel look, awful touch response, miserable experience...
in my opinion
I have been using gadgetshieldz protectors for a while now. Very good protection in my opinion. Protects the curved edges both on the front as well as back. Ordered one for my edge 7 and mine is on the way now. I have been using their textured skins too on my OP2 and they are fantastic. Exactly the same as the Dbrand ones.
Have a skinomi front and back protector with a symmetry case. Applied perfect but the case is now picking the corner up ruining the protector. I think I'm going to just rock it without a protector

screen protector - Armorsuit VS IQ Shield VS Zagg (Glass) - What is the best?

Hello everyone
I have a feeling that these are the best screen protectors on the market (am I wrong? I read hundreds of reviews..)
Of the three I mentioned in the title.. What do you think best screen protector?
Can you also information why? And specify a specific model?
Thanks!!!
TGSP - GPEL Version 2
- If you dont plan on using any case, then this is best option.
Screen protector : BestSkinsever
Case fit version (Glossy/Matte)
- This seems to better than skinomi and IQ Shield.

I would be happy more Comments :highfive:
Interested in this as well. Atm I have a foil that has been manufactured in Germany. Fits the screen perfectly, but doesn't feel as good as glass.
Zagg HD Dry would be my vote. No longer rubbery like they used to be (the one I had on my old Galaxy S2 was terrible), and it feels very much like glass. Also doesn't curl at the edges with a proper fitting cover. Also comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee.
Avoid all the glass protectors on curved screens. It doesn't matter how much they cost, they never fit correctly and raise on the edges resulting in touch screen issues until they're removed. They're a complete waste of money and I'm amazed people still bother with them.

Illumi Aquashield
I highly recommend the screen protector called Illumi Aquashield. I have purchased a lot (no really, a lot!) of glass and non-glass protectors over the past few years, primarily for phones with curved screens. This one always tops the list. I just had mine arrive today for my S9+ (don't have the phone yet). It is a wet install, but I can say it is extremely clear, smooth to the touch, self-healing, non-peeling. I am too new a user to post the Amazon link, but just search for Illumi Aquashield S9+
I was a big fan of Dendrobates on my S8+. Don't see them selling one for the S9+ yet

Mate, biggest con going. Most of the videos you'll find are sponsored. Look a bit deeper and you'll find scratch test ones where they have left half of the screen untreated, the other half treated. There was little difference between the two halves. They both scratched.

I HIGHLY recommend this. I've used this on three Galaxy's and four Fires. LOVE IT! Great customer service. Easy to install. Breathable... so little bubbles you get under it disappear. Self repairable... so "scratches" and whatnot disappear, too, because it's actually a thin gel coating. Available on Amazon, too.

No. Feels and looks like glass.
Note: All the IQ Shields I've ever gotten were their "gloss" type. They also have "matte" finish so I can't speak to whether those feel different.

Another vote for IQ Shield. Tried a cheap glass tempered screen protector but lost much sensitivity and high glare.
+1 for Dendrobates. I had it on my S8 and it was the best. I've had skinomi, IQ shield, Zagg, Spigen, and ArmorSuite. All those had that wet apply grippy feel I do not like. Plus after a couple weeks you could tell the clarity was not that good. Once I put on the Dendrobates you could feel the difference. It had that Glass like feel where it was so smooth and the clarity also that of a glass protector without all that added bulk. I had that on for about 2 months and the clarity never diminished as those of the others. So as soon as Dendrobates comes out w/ a S9+ varient im on it.

Personally, I feel like it's pretty rubbery and soft. Definitely can tell it's not glass.
It sticks well and the sides don't seem to lift however.
