Looks like they got the full body one and just the screen protector... been waiting for these!
I've put one of these on my Nexus S, but never on something as big as a tablet... hopefully it's just as easy.

There's so many other screen protectors that are better than zagg. Go with XO skins or BSE.

Where's the best place to get them and is there a warranty?

Online on their respective websites, bestskinsever.com, xoskins,com, etc. They all have lifetime warranties I believe.

Just curious on how they are better ? Just the pricfe or quality?
I've had a Screen protector from Zagg on my SGS2 since day 1 and seems perfect . Is the touch feeling different on those ?

why in the world would you want to put a screen protector on one of these? you can never get them on perfect and even when placed really good they still ruin the look and feel of the screen in my opinion. also dont worry about the screen anyway- they are practically indestructible/unscratchable with the new glass they use. search youtube for gorilla glass 2 and see for yourself.

A lot less orange peel, don't feel as rubbery, cheaper.

Because sand will scratch the glass regardless. It's like you don't understand how minerals work. silica has a hardness of 7. gorilla glass is ~6.4. Also, gorilla Glass 2 is thinner than gorilla glass 1, so it will shatter easier when dropped.

First: Not sure where your ~6.4 number is coming from. Everything i have seen reports it between 7 and 9. Corning uses a different type of test for abrasion so there is no official mohs hardness number.
Second: What the heck are you doing with your tablet that you are that worried about getting sand on it? I have had my phone(s) on construction sites and in our laboratory full of soil, sand, rock, concrete, etc every day and havent scratched one of them once since i got one that has this glass. If it can not scratch under the abuse i give it at work it can survive anything most other people can throw at it. If you get some sand or something on the screen, gently wipe it off and it will be fine. Big thing you need to worry about scratching it is diamonds and other gems from jewelry or maybe the corundrum off of sandpaper or emery boards.
Third: Gorilla glass 2 is thinner but "Corning announced Gorilla Glass 2, a glass 20 percent thinner than the original material offering the same scratch resistance, the same strength and enhanced touch-sensitivity." Either way, a plastic film on the screen isnt going to help protect the screen from breaking in a drop- at best it will hold all the broken pieces together. Its adding no impact resistance to the glass.
My point was only this- why ruin the look at feel of the beautiful screen on this thing when corning and others have spent enormous amounts of money developing glass for these so you don't have to bother with a screen protector. Save your money and buy a nice case to carry it in when you aren't using it and you'll be fine.

I've helped friends install InvisibleShield on various phones, and despite a pristine install, I really never could stand the feel of one of these instead of the bare glass. When I got my Galaxy Nexus a year ago, I checked the reviews again, looked at friends' phones with screen protectors (including Zagg) and came away with the same impression -- makes sense, since they're probably using the same 3M protective film (used on leading edge of helicopter rotors, car bras, etc.)
Despite the horror stories and photos of screens destroyed with "invisible sand", I decided to chance it with the GNex so I could really enjoy the screen as it was intended to be used. The only protection the phone has ever had on it is the 2-piece (silicone inner with plastic shell) Incipio case that Verizon was selling. The screen has been bare for a year.
The phone is generally with me from 6am till bedtime. I travel frequently for work -- the phone gets jammed in a pants pocket, jacket pocket, placed in a cup holder in my car, I've dropped it 3 times (happily the Incipio was sufficient protection). I've had it on camping trips, and on our last two vacations at the beach the phone came along with me every day.
Point is: the Galaxy Nexus screen is not even true Gorilla Glass, but an unspecified "fortified glass" that Samsung used instead back then. Assumptions are that real Gorilla Glass is more scratch resistant, and Gorilla Glass 2 is an even better product. With all considered, my Galaxy Nexus has no visible scratches -- and I DO check it carefully, as flaws like that tend to bug me. I've taken a chance with the phone, but in the end I'm SO happy that I have been able to fully enjoy the phone as it was intended, rather than have to drag my finger across a slightly rubbery, slightly orange-peely, surface any time I want to use it.
In my own use, a tablet would subject to less potential scratching and wear than my phone. I'm careful with my tech equipment -- but I use it heavily, and I want to enjoy it to the fullest. So far, protectors like Zagg's product do more to compromise my experience than the protection is worth to me. Everyone uses their devices in their own fashion, some are rougher on them than others or more accident prone, and some live in sandier climates... Obviously each has to decide what makes sense for his/her self. For me, considering my usage patterns -- the state of the art of screens and screen protectors is such that I generally won't use one, and I haven't regretted it yet.

Recommended screen protectors, and also - tempered glass?

Hi everyone,
I'm planning on purchasing the Nexus 5X in a few days, just need to find the right accessories for it (cables, cases, screen protectors).
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a screen protector that has a cutout for the proximity sensor.
Also, I seriously only found out today there is such a thing as tempered glass. After researching a bit, I learned of it's pros (actually protects your screen if the phone falls) and it's cons (can crack easily for no reason ,poses somewhat of a health risk if breaks).
Pros: http://temperedglassscreenprotector.org/
Cons: http://www.clear-coat.com/blog/why-we-dont-sell-tempered-glass-screen-protectors/
Strangely, all the screen protectors I find on Amazon are tempered glass.
So, which one should I buy (tempered or plastic), and can you recommend a specific screen protector?

I wouldn't say they crack easily, but that'll depend on a bunch of variables. All I can say is it looks good and feels much nicer than the PET/non tempered glass screen protectors. Spigen is a good brand to go with.
Read the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3214188

I recommend the skinomi screen protector, it's not glass. It's the kind that feels like rubber and applied via water. I love these.

How you apply it with water? They can get to te mic's, no? You have safe way to do that?

Hi, Im very pleased with Nexus 5X Screen Protector, Spigen® [Crystal] Full HD, I used to have it on my Nexus 5 and I was so satisfied that I bought it again for my N5x. Feels like glass, perfecly cutted you have 3x screen protector included, dust removal and positionning tool to hlelp perfect use. At least two times saved my screen on my old nexus 5. And almost nobody noticed that Im using a screen protector....

I've played around with a few screen protectors over the years, including some tempered glass ones. I can show you some reviews I've written, if you're interested.
Most of the cheap glass options are /not/ multicoated. What that means is, while they might be very difficult to scratch, they will cause some reflections, way more than the bare screen. Also, one of the coatings applied in modern multicoating is an oleophobic coating. That means a layer which helps the glass reject oils, including the skin oils on your fingertips. So applying a glass screen protector usually means you'll have to clean your screen way more often, and also that it will be considerably more difficult to actually clean the screen.
If you're dead-set on a screen protector, I highly recommend you find yourself a multicoated option. These will be no less than $20 even on sale. They can be $30+ normally.
Personally, I trust Corning Gorilla Glass 3 as sufficient in this generation. You might get a scratch or two over a few year span, but, virtually everything your phone will meet won't be hard enough to damage the glass.

You apply a thin layer them squeeze out the excess. It's incredibly easy to retry if you set it wrong the first time. You can push the water away from the mic and speaker and use a cloth to dab up any excess water.

glass screen protector http://dx-box.com/nillkin-amazing-h-pro-anti-explosion-tempered-glass-screen-protector.html

I've been using glass screen protectors since May 2014. I swear by them. They don't crack easily like Clear Coat claims. I've only had to replace them twice. Once because an edge got pulled up months later so there was a air gap on one side. The second time, it actually did crack but that was after falls with a TPU case on. As many others have stated, with tempered glass screen protectors, that will crack before the actual glass of the screen does. And good ones don't shatter into little pieces like Clear Coat says. On the two replacements, I broke them fully and the pieces stay together. Also I really like the glass feel. Not sure how non-glass screen protectors feel though. Back when invisibleSHIELD was popular, that tacky feel wasn't nice.

Exactly. I think of it similar to a crumple zone in a car. It will absorb some of the force before the phone's glass does. Now of course, with a great amount of force like dropping it from 10 feet or throwing it, I'm sure both the screen protector and the phone's glass would break. Regular accidental drops should work out the way I described.
As for outdoor visibility, there's no noticeable decrease in brightness or increase in glare. All of the manufactures usually advertise something like 99.9% transparency.
Here's an interesting tempered glass screen protector review. Cued up exactly on the drop test to rocks and removal:
https://youtu.be/UnvC6EERMyI?t=2m21s

Keep in mind that plastic protects better than glass and plastic does not need to be replaced where as most drops will break a glass protector. It is made from a thin easily breakable material after all.
The reason to pay roughly 10x as much for glass is because it feels much nicer on your finger. Plastic can also cause rainbow like reflections and can be a bit harder to apply than one solid piece.
However glass costs a lot more upfront and in the long run to replace. A plastic protector is about $1 and if applied properly won't ever need to be replaced.

Yes plastic ones don't break break or need to be replaced but I don't think they provide the same impact protection in absorbing drops. You'll probably have a screen broken under the intact plastic screen protector.

I have no background on the subject but just thinking about it logically, I don't think glass can be as protective as plastic.
For instance RhinoShield only offers plastic screen protectors. Their test videos show how easily GG would break from certain impacts and how much plastic protects it. Even the best tempered glass can only hope to be as strong as GG.
My basic understanding of the situation is glass protectors work because it breaks and saves the screen underneath, where as plastic works by actually strengthening the glass itself.
However for each time the glass protector breaks and needs to be replaced, the plastic would keep on trucking.
I think the misunderstanding arises when a user drops their phone with a glass protector and it breaks thus "saving" their screen. But what if they had plastic? Would the screen of broken then? What if they had no protector? We can't say for sure what the results would have been. However to the user that is a clear indication of the glass protector working, where as I would say that's only a clear indication of the glass protector breaking easily.

Right. That's how I see it as a user. Also, the clarity, feel, and scratch resistance can't be matched by plastic.

I've actually dropped my 5x naked just once so far and got lucky without any cracks, but I do believe if I had a glass SP it would've broken. In the end I think it's luck and a good case that will protect from a bad drop as the screen protector is mainly for scratch protection. I've kept my glass SP as a backup in case the factory oleophobic coating stops working as effectively.

Are Tempered Glass Screen Protectors good?

Over the years I have heard that people love tempered glass screen protectors and then I have heard roughly the same amount of people that hate them. It is rough seeing some of the shattered screens with tempered glass protectors.
If tempered glass protectors are "that good" then were did they fail? Were they applied to the screen incorrectly? Do they really not protect the screen in most situations? (can it fail?). Then with the Note and S series phones; We are dealing with the screen curve that no screen protector truely likes to be adhered to?
I am asking because good quality tempered glass screen protectors aren't cheap and I don't want a cracked screen when it eventually "might" happen.

Not sure I can recommend Luvvitt for a tempered glass. The sides are collecting dirt, and the top is allowing dust in. Writing on the keyboard doesn't always work right either. However they sent me a replacement so I will eventually possibly try it. I also didn't like that it didn't go to the edges as my case is minimal. There's honestly lots of variations of them believe it or not, so id suggest looking at actual pictures from Amazon of what people got. I ordered a different one that should be edge to edge, so we'll see how that is. On the other hand there is a company that is selling "softglass" which I think is just a thick tpu and actually looks promising. As soon as I get it, I will review it and let everyone know what I think. The attached pics are my current Luvvitt.

Doesn't matter if you have one on or not, if the screen hits the right spot at the right angle it will crack the screen. They're good for scratch protection but more of a placebo when getting one for drop protection.

On my note 3, I dropped it many times and only broke the tempered glass. Actual screen never broke so I like em

that probably holds some truth to it. Cracked my note 4 screen falling off my bed no more than 3ft and it somehow punctured through the screen protector and through the glass. I have no idea what caused it and it seem like something sharped stabbed through it when there were nothing close by. I'm still a sucker for the placebo effect of tempered glass though lol
OP, best bet is the whitestone dome glass but it aint cheap. I'm still hesitant purchasing it because I think they are just overcharging since they don't really have any competitors.

Do I really need a screen protector?

Hey guys,
I just got my Mate 10 pro. For safety reasons, I bought UAG cover for the phone. However, I am curious, if I really need a screen protector. I don't work at rough places, but I just don't want any scratch on the screen. What do you guys think?

Yes u need. The screen gets very easy small scratches from being in your pockets.

Thanks! I am confused between Spigen nano and glass protector.

YES!
A tiny bit of sand can scratch Gorilla Glass. And that's just one thing. There is nothing worse than a scratched screen - it ruins the experience (for me) for years, as long as you have the device. With a protector (either "hydrogel" or "tempered glass"), you just replace it and call it a day. Let alone drops by the way. One drop on an uneven surface and even in a case, it will break.
You can pick two kinds.
GLASS.
- Nilkin: Does not extend to full side, but since it's 0.3mm thicc (or so), it will still protect the screen from everything. Good experience from people, I also bought one, it's ok.
DO NOT BUY eBay screen protectors. They extend full, and look nice. BUT, thanks to the design of our device, they kinda lift off around the edges, and require you to hard press to get your fingers/taps registered. It's a pain. It's annoying too.
Hydrogel.
It's kind of a plastic layer kind of thing, but can be stretched, squeezed to fit all along the edges. This gives a better look (cannot even see it). Feel wise I believe it's nice, not too bad. Only bad thing about it is that it's well, not glass. So if you drop the phone on a sharp edge, it might just transfer the force and break the screen/digitizer.
Keep in mind, CASE MATTERS A LOT. A good case will reduce drops by.. I don't know.. 99%?
Seriously, without a case the phone is a soapbar. And in a bad case too, there is barely any grip. Get a good one and you are set for life.

That was a detailed response. Thank you!
What is your opinion on Spigen Nano Liquid?

I have not tried it... yet. In my opinion, it's just an extra layer. But no protection.
This review(er) makes sense: https://youtu.be/ZeHeHLjCAQE?t=148
You add a new layer, that gets scratched... and is attached to the screen. LOL. I guess it would have been better if Spigen had a remover.
Is it useless? No! I think the Liquid Glass is perfect for phones like Huawei P20 Pro, where Huawei went ultra cheap, and just used a crappy screen protection. I would still add a glass on top (because that's the only thing protecting from impacts, etc), but hey, if anything were to happen, it would provide better protection. But, our Mate 10? It has Gorilla Glass 3. (which is more resistant than Glass 5.)
The Hydrogel thing is like a bit flexible plastic. Kinda rubbery. So I suspect that also takes off a bit of force if my phone's screen were to hit something.
But, tempered glass all the way. If you cannot find one that covers just right, works just good, then just go hydrogel IMO.

I tried some Glas protectors they were all trash dur to the rounded edges and most sont work with cases. i have used normal plastic like in the old days and i am very happy. They scratch kinda easy but i paid like 4 bucks for 5 protectors.

I will ask Huawei on Live chat. Let see what they recommend.

Well, finally I tried the Nilkin glass protector. I would rate it 3/5.
- Feels great.
- Good, but average package. I mean what do we expect anyway?
- No edge-to-edge coverage, as I said that would be hard to pull, so there is a gap on each side.
- I have a visible halo on edge.
Overall? I would go hydrogel. Seriously.
- Buy 2-3 pieces to start with. Chances are good it will feel weird at first. You could experiment with the cheapest ebay ones, they feel the same. Basically you apply, and you can squeeze out all the bubbles, dirt, and also stretch it to all the corners. It gives a 100% cover.
- It can be scratched, it's faaar from the 9H hardness of tempered glass. But who cares? Rip it off, put a new one on it. Boom. I have used mine for about 3 months and only now I had a large scratch/damage on the top-right of the hydrogel thing. That's it.
Case wise I bought so many... but my favorite is the noname, ebay case called iPaky. It has a full transparent back, yet, has a very good hold to it. Not too bulky, not too heavy. It's seriously a superb case IMO. I tried many, this one is my favorite. Especially because it shows off the purple/golden/whatever color of the phone, which I like, as this is the first non-pitch-black phone I own.
You can just search "ipaky mate 10 pro" on ebay. Or "mate 10" whichever you have.

Hey guys,
I just got my Mate 10 pro. For safety reasons, I bought UAG cover for the phone. However, I am curious, if I really need a screen protector. I don't work at rough places, but I just don't want any scratch on the screen. What do you guys think?

I really wish they make the next gen Mate with a perfectly flat screen with at least 2mm after the screen end still flat so you can really put a full screen glass/film protector with no issues.
Currently I'm using my mate 10 with no screen protector at all because I hate them on not completely covering screen on its width.
My 1st phone in years without a screen protector.
When I get the 1st scratch on my Mate 10 screen, I'll put a protector. 0 scratches so far, and it is all about luck (a single grain of sand can ruin it all).

Thank you! I just ordered SaharaCase tempered glass for mate 10 pro. I will post the reviews here too. Although I was recommended for IQ Shield by Huawei, but I didn't like it.

Accessories Which screen protector do you use ?

Hi everyone
so far I can't find proper screen protector for my mi 11. I tried 3 different brands for tempered glass and all of them are the same:
not bent enough on the edges
fingerprint issues
back gesture don't work most of the time
adhesive is sooooooo weak
touch sensitivity issues
I'm looking for tempered glass options since I drop my phone a lot
if you have experience with good screen protectors please share

I would advise you not to use one. The tempered glass will in no case protect you display when it falls. The fact that the tempered glass breaks when a device falls, doesn't mean that without it the damage to be on the display itself. Tempered glass is pretty fragile and breaks very easily. So a slight fall will already break it where you display will not.
The Mi11 as Victus glass and is a perfect balance between scratch resistance and protection against ballistic impact (like a fall). During a live stream when the Mi11 was introduced in my country we dropped the device like 4 times on the ground while standing on a table.
My Mi11 came with factory foil protector which I removed after a week or two. The colors are always a bit less with the foil or glass on it. And the display is one of the main reasons to get this device, so it's a waste to put something on it.
Just use a skin or a case if you want to prevent some damage to the device directly but I would really not put a tempered glass or anything else on the display.
Edit: otherwise, if you really really want it; go with the aqua gel layers. They will always perfectly fit, add some extra scratch protection to your device (but less then the actual screen itself). You will still have less speed with the fingerprint and the colors will be a bit less too but that is with every layer you put on it. Again, wouldn't recommend.

thanks for the advice.
I had s7 edge before and I had to give up the screen protector because of the curved edges and gorilla glass got destroyed. I know it is not harder or tougher but it can take some beats away from the gorilla glass and it is cheaply replaceable unlike the gorilla glass.
Is the hydrogel smooth enough ?, how do you compare it to the phone glass and pre-applied screen protector

I'm not gonna buy 80$ screen protector
and I think the only useful part of this video is the scratch resistance.

i keep using the one which is preinstalled
Once that one is broken, i remove it and use it without any
I always do it like this

Why not? I payed 750€ for the phone so 80$ is completely ok for a really good screen protector. But I will do exactly the same as @qvert . I will use the one that came with the device until it gets ****t and than just use it without..
I bet that some people will not even know that Mi 11 comes with screen protector pre applied

I'm using hydrogel flex covers....

Well, like I said: I wouldn't really recommend that either but it's smooth enough. Had one on myt Mi9T Pro for a while but I removed it and the fingerprint scanner went from mediocre to pretty okay.
And again, the ballistic impact of a fall cannot really be absorbed by a screen protector, glass, gel or whatever. So damage prevention for that situation is not really happening. But if you still want it, I would go for something like this:

Glass is glass , and glass can break. No matter if it's victus or not , if it hits the right angle it will break. Unless you are a super careful person , i would not recommend using without a screen protector. For me it's a must , i tried using my RM5G without protection and broke it in less than 3 months.
