Hey everyone I am in need if a tempered glass screen protector. When I first got this turbo upon release all there really was is the Verizon one which is just thick plastic and now that I got a replacementu an now in need of a tempered glass screen protector.
I got the ivoler brand on amazon. I love it.
i also have had the ivoler for about a month and a half and am happy with it. There is a tiny bit of halo-ing for me at the bottom but overall it has been good and has only gotten a couple scratches thus far. good feel as well.
Which one did you guys get? The 0.2 or 0.3mm

I have the 0.2. I believe the consensus is that it is superior but can't say because I haven't tried both. I believe there is a discussion in the accessories section though!
Edit. Totally forgot the MIME came out for the turbo recently. Haven't had experience with the company but read good things so potentially another to consider

How's the fit now? I got the Verizon glass one the day I got the Droid and not only was it cheap but it barely covered the screen. I know they can't go all the way to the edge but the bottom of it didn't even cover all of the capacitive buttons. Kept catching my finger on it

Are you sure it's glass now? Maybe some pics would be nice. Because the ones they used to sell saying it's flexible glass was all a scam and was just thick plastic.

The ivoler goes as close to the edge as possible and sticks very well to the phone including the edges in which at times screen protectors tend to not do so. I might as well try the ivoler tempered glass and or maybe the Verizon one.

I just ordered the mime protector and will post thoughts once it's received
I just purchased the Xtreme Gaurd Spartan tempered glass protector today. Its .4mm thick which I think is around the thickness of the zagg which I like. Also they have a site wide 50% off code right now posted on the top of the site. It came out to $30 but thats about what I paid for my zagg tempered protector on my G3. I will post pics when I receive it.

There is just so many options and hard to choose. What's so great about xtreme guard though? Haven't heard of that company.
So many tempered glass options I just don't know what to choose everyone. How good is mime?
Not to sure just went out on a limb with it. I like the thickness of the zagg so I'm hoping its somewhat the same. Factory "glass" screen protector I got from Verizon is stratched to where its starting to bother me so I hope the xtreme gaurd does better in the scratch deptpartment .

I had a mime on note 2 and 3 and it was fantastic. I've been on the fence about on for my turbo .......the Verizon flexible glass has been very good. Not sure if its actually glass, but it works great and no halo.

I know that the phone is fairly new, but does anyone know of available tempered glass screen protectors for the Droid Turbo other than the Verizon brand? Is there an ETA for anything so far? I usually just order through Amazon, but haven't seen anything that was noteworthy yet.

There are some difficulties in making a glass screen protector for the turbo's screen because of the curved glass edges. The issue is that the screen protector naturally wants to pull away to a flat like state. Because of this, you see very few companies offer tempered glass protectors for devices with the curved glass edges, and most people report a poor experience with them, as the edges release from the glass, thus making it easy for the screen protector to get pulled off.
A few solutions that have been tried are the company making the protector a bit smaller than the screen, to avoid the curved edge, but then you don't get full coverage, and have a sharp / noticeable edge from the screen protector. The other solution is to make it thinner / more pliable, but that raises its own issues (cost, loss of protective qualities).
I know Zagg is working hard on developing a tempered glass screen protector that will work with the curved glass screens, thanks to the iPhone 6 plus having this type of screen, but it could be awhile before they release it, let alone it trickles down to other devices. Once they figure it out, though, it should spread to other protectors (given most off brand protectors are made by one of the Chinese manufacturers of Zagg, just rebranding them, and likely lowering quality control a bit).
Okay, so I found 2 new entries on Amazon for the glass protectors. One is the Casebase brand and the other is the Orzly brand. The Casebase comes with 2 protectors and seems to have a better fit for the front-facing camera. I would post the links, but I'm a newbie so I can't yet. Lmk what you guys think about them.
Verizon has the tempered glass in their stores, I bought mine when I received the phone 2-3 days into the launch!

Looks like these are the thicker 9h ones with rounded edges too and the prices are rather cheap. I going to give it a few weeks until the crappy verizon tempered glass starts lifting then give one of these a shot. Thanks for posting!

I used a 85% off today. I can't remember what exactly it was but I just did a google search for coupon code.
I'm going to go ahead and try out the Xtremeguard Spartan tempered glass screen protector. I wish there was a 90% off coupon, but I settled with the 80% since I've been waiting on a decent glass protector for awhile now. I'll let you guys know how it is once I put it on, but I don't know if my opinion would be all that valid since this will be my first glass protector.
The Zagg glass for the iPhone 6, 6 plus, and Note 4 with curved screens are already available and work perfectly. I would say the fact that it isn't currently available for the Turbo has more to do with it being a Verizon exclusive than anything else.

I just looked up the one for the six and six plus. What are they doing that's different from anyone else? Its just smaller then they call it case friendly lol I expected some new technology on the curve I guess. The only solution I've ever seen for tempered glass on a curved screen as they just make it smaller so it doesn't reach the curve.

It isn't really noticeable while just looking at the product, but the Zagg's now have a curvature equal to that of the curve of the screen. The first wave of Zagg Glass panels for the 6, 6+, and Note 4 were all defective. They peeled up at the edges and would never lay down completely flat (I work for Best Buy I install 30-50 of them a week.) The second round of shipments had ironed out whatever kinks were causing the imperfect fit.

I'm confused as to why you would want a screen protector on a Gorilla Glass screen with a free replacement warranty? Is there something I'm missing, or is there something else special about these tempered glass screen protectors?
As for me, I've never broken or even scratched a screen in the last 10 years. Guess I'm lucky.

I used to be one of those people too. I had never cracked a screen in my life because I always take care of my phone, but it all changed when it happened to my HTC One. Accidents happen and I'd rather lose a screen protector than have to use that free screen replacement. I think 10 bucks is a reasonable price to spend to protect a $600-700 phone, especially when i plan on keeping it for the foreseeable future. I still don't completely understand using bulky cases, but that's probably because I baby my phone.
Spartan glass received today - put it on and took it off - the curved glass edges do not stick and looks terrible - asking for refund

I have never carried a screen protector on my phone previously either as I felt the quality was utter **** on them and I won't look at one with bubbles and crap in it.
The tempered glass ones don't peel up or bubble (when they are not defective and are installed correctly.) They are PERFECTLY clear, don't obscure the screen at all, and they feel just like touching the actual screen. I truly consider them to be poor man's insurance.
Gotcha. Thanks
I am looking for a screen protector for my BN Turbo. I would prefer a tempered glass solution but am willing to explore other options. Does anyone have one or can offer suggestions for one? Thanks

When I bought my turbo in October or November, I also bought the "flexible glass screen protector for droid turbo" at the Verizon store. It is a little pricey at about $25, but I really like it. They had to order it for me and it was delivered straight to me.
For what it cost, I took it to them and had one of their employees put the screen on for me. I think he did a pretty nice job of it. I have no complaints, other than the high price. ?
As far as I can tell, it has no scratches on it, but, I try not to treat it rough. Also, it is very hard to see any smudges, etc that I get on it.
It did take me a little while to get used to its edges. If you swipe from the very edge of the phone, you can feel the edge. It kind of catches your finger. I have had no problems using it. At the same time I also bought the "Speck" case from them. I like it as well, but, it is also pricey.
Before this, I always used their belt clip. I do miss that, and, "may" one of these days replace the Speck with it. But, I think the glass screen is so much better than the plastic ones.
I would buy the glass screen again. (my opinion only)

I just received this one today.
Its not bad for the price.
I was just going to start a thread with the glass screen protectors that I've tried and whether it works or not. but just an fyi, I've used the ez guardz, they admitted to their current model having a design flaw; the edges of the screen protector doesn't adhere. Also the Ghostek I just received today has the same issue. There's one more I'm looking at on eBay and I'm going to stay away from the "flexible screen protectors" as those are the ones made by tech21 and I don't like the feel of them.
Sorry. Wrong thread.

Looks like film, I have their screen protector for my moto 360, first batch was over sized, they then sent me the replacements which were a lot better. I may end up going with tempered glass as well for to 360 but at the time none were available but the film ones, except the Spigen which chipped. I'm not too confident with the ones that are available now.

I know that it's a film protector & not tempered glass. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with it. I was also looking at the iVoler tempered glass sold on Amazon
The iVoler is great, with a few minor caveats:
• Follow instructions to the letter, making sure the screen is immaculately clean. Also, wear rubber gloves if possible. Even a minor trace of skin oils will result in spots that refuse to adhere, so be super careful.
• This particular item ships from Shengzhen, China, and takes about three weeks. Order a spare while you're ordering and waiting so ridiculously long for the item to arrive.
Aside from that, it seems to be just the ticket... It's coated, so it feels slick, stays clean and doesn't show fingerprints.
This company finally has one out, I have it on order today.

reporting back from my last purchase.
Tried this TEMPERED GLASS Screen Protector - Slim 0.33mm Super Hardness - Crystal Clear by COVRWARE - picked it up from amazon for $9.97
The glass itself is nice. It feels like the naked screen. It's a 9H and oleophobic. Unforunately the edge adhesive halos. It's cut slightly short of the edges to in an attempt to deal with the 2.5D screen edges.
you don't notice when the screen is on, but yeah it's not a edge to edge performing adhesive. so i've left it on, as i look for a better screen protector.
i'd love to see how that mime screen protector does.

Let me know if the edges stick that's really the only issue with most of them on the market right now. I don't even want to show my phone to others because of the parts of the screen protector that doesn't adhere. Waiting on a replacement for my ghostek, if that's the same then I'm off to trying a different one.
The edges on mine are all good, with the exception of two spots where my fingers made contact with the adhesive. My hands were clean and dry, but it apparently doesn't take much to impact the performance of the adhesive. I'd recommend wearing rubber gloves during application... Other than that, it's a great fit, and covers only the flat (non-rounded) surface of the screen.
Ok got the MIME today, typical package and install. Goes on good does not go the the edge but about like the xtreme one I had installed. This one sticks so far and feels way better slickness wise than the xtreme.

Actually mine shipped and is going to be delivered Thursday. I like Mime's Feather glass as it's so thin - unfortunately they don't seem to be making it for their newer phones.
I would have preferred iloome or other cheaper, name brands, but Mime was the only known brand who was ready to ship. I've never liked the no name brands on Amazon.
Oh snap, they are now available. I just ordered one. Be here Friday and I will pick up phone Friday as well.

From another thread
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...otectors-p/galaxy-note-5-screen-protector.htm
Not sure how good xtremeguard is, but if you use code WAVE90 you get 90% off store that gets you the spartan tempered glass for $3.50 shipped.
I went through 2 mime ghost glass screen protectors on my gs4. Then I switched to zerolemon less expensive and free replacements . Mime charges half price for thier replacements.
Skinomi glass has halo around the whole phone. Do not order this protector
Same thing with the Mime Ghost glass - halo all around. From experience with the Note 4, I think it's pretty safe to say vendors who have protectors at launch are just guessing. Due to the slight curve, I'm guessing everyone will have to do a new rev now that the phone is out.
I got the Glass ZAGG InvisibleShield from Verizon. It was a bit expensive but there is no halo and it has a lifetime warranty if it starts to come off or anything. It seems to be sticking well with the Otterbox Commuter case.

Yes, I will agree with you that the ZAGG tempered glass from VZW was fantastic on my Note 4. Now that I have the Note 5 I will be getting it again but I am specifically waiting for the privacy tempered glass to come available.

Yes, it's glass and the pen works fine with it on. After reading your post I'm glad BestBuy wouldn't sell me the plastic invisiblesheild on Wednesday when I went there. They said I had to wait until Friday so I went to Verizon and bought the glass instead.
Did anyone try the generic verizon glass screen protector? $40 bucks is too rich for me for a Zagg.
Best Buy went through FIVE Zagg HD Glass before someone stepped in and got it perfect on the first try...the others just didn't know what they were doing.
Zero halo around the edges and zero loose edges.
There was also a video on here of the Supershieldz Ballistic Tempered Glass being installed on the N5 with no halo at all either. Seems we could add that to the list and hopefully as more people acquire the N5 it remains this way

i am holding off until i see some reviews. looks great but also looks like it will not work with cases.
Waiting for reviews...
this product looks EXACTLY THE SAME as the aftermarket ones being sold right now.
also, the "curved" probably refers to the curved edges of the tempered glass itself, NOT to the glass curving to fit the phone's curved screen.

Btw a bit expensive, not? I'll wait to see some review.
The OG tempered glass from OP for the OP3 is dog ****.
I am very disappointed as it does not even cover the whole screen!
Well i believe it won't work nicely with the back covers like Spigen Ones.
Waiting for the white version and the Reviews
I've tried screen protectors with edge to edge coverage and they gradually form cracks over time. I've had no such issues with non edge to edge screen protectors, this is pretty unfortunate. I wonder if this would do any better.
I've waited for a proper 3D TGSP and would order this, but waiting for the payday
I'm counting on this official protector.
Wonder if this is like the others which don't have adhesive on the clear part.
I just spoke with oneplus customer support and they said that the screen protector has adhesive on the whole surface of the screen protector. But, I am not 100% confident in their response. Will have to wait and see the reviews

Yeah, I'm not confident either lol. It's a shame it has to be that way.
I currently have a wet-install film on my screen because all the tempered glass options have shoddy reviews. The film went on perfectly and is nearly invisible, but I just don't feel as comfortable with it.

My mistake! Here's what I have:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GQWLJRS/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm very satisfied with it and don't mind keeping it for awhile until that "perfect" glass protector comes along.
I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho
Any you can recommend about $20 and under?
First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.

I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.
I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

thats becuz the neoflex is a rubber 3m film, not plasti-glass. i honestly like Spigen Neoflex screen protector. only downfall is using the pen on it leaves lines where youve drawn .. but cant be felt by your touch

Somebody got a knock off, I read. The screen protector he got was plastic instead of glass.

Oh wow that sucks but for some reason YouTubers recommend this for s8 and note 8 idk man it looks promising but yeah that warning I've never seen before
There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.
I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..
I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.
I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?
yes
I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.
