I hate both, there's no other way to look at that, I like my phone as it is, but well scratches will come with time, that's a fact too, so I was wondering which to get. I mean if I go for a Tempered Screen Protector, could that save the display from shattering in case of an accidental drop? Or shall I be using a Protective Case? I know that the corners of a phone are the most important parts, that's where protection should be present, so am I wrong to guess that a tempered glass protector can't protect the corners? I am thinking from a phone drop point of view, not normal scratches, for normal scratches I think I don't need a tempered glass screen protector, a normal one shall do.
So what shall I aim for, a case or the other?
If it's a case then which one? I love the UAG cases for the protection it provides, but hate them for their industrial design, but I won't buy something which won't have a good amount of lip around the screen to protect it from drops and kinds. I need something simple and neat looking, low profile and lightweight and the material should be half rugged so that it won't slip out from my palms.
Thanks in advance.
Tempered glass will NOT save the screen from every drop. If it's face impact then yes most likely will save but if impact is on back of phone and no case or very slim case will Crack LCD it self. Wife's note had a super slim tpu case and LCD shattered but both glass were fine.
i always go with glass screen protector and thin tpu jelly type case. doesn't protect if like an otterbox but will be able to handle any of the minor mishaps i might have. i am very careful and treat my phones like gold so it hasn't failed me so far.
i realize there are plenty of things that setup will not protect your phone for but i can not stand to add bulk to any phone no matter how thin it starts out

Yep, you are right.
I have decided to get a Nillkin 9H tempered protector and a Spigen Neo Hybrid, I guess these will do more than fine for protection.

I don't like because the nilkin one gets fingerprints too easy.
Gonna look into others and change this one
Best one I've used so far is the xtremeguard spartan. Not as bad as others as far as smudge and prints. All though, they changed the design lately, and sold them, was hoping for them to send me the previous design.
Saw another post with link to it, but here's a review of the case. It's not super bulky. But add enough protection for most
Leave questions and comments
Just got one of these. My question is to pop the included screen protector off and just go with the one that came with the Nexus or peel that one off and go with the Supcase protector. I've read reviews of people suggesting both.
This is a durable feeling and looking case. I've always had UAG cases in the past but this one seemed to offer a little more protection.

I find a tempered glass screen protector under the plastic built-in one to be the best. It sits really flush this way and you can't see the halo in the glass screen protector because of the case.

If you do this, make sure you after you pop the built in screen protector off you scrape off the black adhesive that held it on or it will fuse to your screen protector and rip it off if you take off your case. Any small metal tool can be used but be careful not to scratch the case. After its removed you can use some qtips and a little bit of rubbing alcohol to clean any residual adhesive.
I didn't do this originally and my case was stuck to my screen protector for 2 months till I finally decided to try and force it off and it ruined my screen protector.
I'm going to keep my supplied screen protector on along with the case screen protector.

Good luck, sensitivity sucks!
No problems with sensitivity so far. I like the case. Little bulky but the phone feels safe.

The edges of the screen sometimes take a few tries to respond!
I have this case. Its fantastic for work. Its awfully bulky though! But, with that bulk you get great protection.
Its great if you need the protection. I typically remove the phone from the case when I'm home.

This is what I described doing in a different topic - used an X-Acto knife and it took about 10 minutes to get all the plastic protector's adhesive off, which I felt might stick or lift up the lip of their case on the actual screen protector I'm using.
However, I also found that the Supcase didn't sit perfectly flush on the Nexus 6 with my own screen protector after removing their plastic one - one longer side has a gap between the frame and my protected phone surface.
So, I am keeping this case as a backup, only.
- ooofest
Just got this case from EBay .I must say Dam good quality cases an holster love it..actually kind of like its design an fit better then Otterbox...feels more solid..
Had the case for a while its pretty good. Not a daily case for me as I switch when doing different jobs. It's actually kind of hard to get off that's a good thing for some people.
I've just had to return mine after using it for a few days. When taking pictures with the rear camera flash on, the flash and case don't work well together and the pictures are spoilt (first pic is with case, second without. You can see the tint that having the white case on causes). Disappointing as I have already had the screen break on me (first time ever!) and was happy of the extra protection that this case affords
For the most part I go naked with my N6. I am ordering one of these cases for when I go golfing and maybe some other activities where I want to have the best protection. I am keeping the supplied protector cause it will keep dust and water from getting on my phone. Which is, by the way, the reason I am going with this brand because most of the other "tough" cases don't have that.
How does this case fit around the speakers? Is it open letting dust in under the screen protector or are the speakers sealed?
They are open, dust can accumulate
I've been using mine for months now with no problems. only complaint is the camera port is long. Dust an small debris gets under screen protector, its slightly bulky but worth the protection. Both factory screen protector an case built-in on an notice a little touch sensitivity loss, but worth the protection! Add the fact that the N6 is water resistant an its damn near perfect!
Before I order something random from Amazon, I thought I would ask what everyone is using and what you think of it. The only post I found in any of the other threads was someone with a tempered glass screen protector who wasn't happy with the fit.

well, I have a tempered glass screen protector on it, and I am very happy with it. It is a 100 times beter than any other plastic screenprotector, as it will not scratch easily.

This case is good but bumper is of plastic which is delicated.
I have tried every thing out there and ended up with everything Nillkin, case and screen
I have the black/gold Ipaky case and a tempered glass screen protector. I like them both.
Does anyone know of a desktop battery charger to charge a spare battery out of the phone?

I also have an iPaky case bought from ali express. (Black version in my case)
Build quality is good an the case stays higher than the screen protecting it from falls.
The back is super grippy with a nice pattern.
For a screen protector i use a tempered glass one which is stronger than a normal plastic screen protector and doesn't leave bubbles after being applied.It costs a bit more than ordinary screen protectors but you can get one for as low as 1€ from Aliexpress.
I own two cases, one is a simple one with a transparent black color while the other one has an Audi sportscar drawn on it.
So here is what I got:
Aksberry tempered glass screen protector
Pros:
good fit
Tempered glass does seem very hard
rounded edges don't catch on things (like pockets)
Cons:
seems to reduce sensitivity of touch screen
mine has a flaw that has created a bubble under it. It is on the lower edge, so it doesn't affect its operation, just an annoyance to look at.
Nillkin case
Pros:
good fit
edge extends above screen (and screen protector)
extends above buttons. This also helps prevent accidental button presses (am I the only person who thinks that power button is in exactly the wrong spot?)
Cons:
haven't noticed any
Currently using the iPaky case with the silver frame. I love it. The iPaky cases are one of the best out there. I have also a leather flip cover, it's nice but I don't use it much for whatever reason.
did anyone notice the screen protector sensor hole is on the wrong side?
left which has nothing on it, right is where the sensor is.
damn....
Hi,
My Lenovo glass had broken many times & now it gives problem of sensing. Where should I get to change the glass & how much it cost?
I use a tempered glass protector with a skin I ordered from skins4gadgets. The skin is good enough for my usage.
I am looking for one as I have a dbrand skin on my phone (they are great ), most screen protectors are mostly for the whole front part.
Buy a normal screen protector and cut it how you want
I've been looking for one as well, for the same reason. No luck so far. Slickwraps usually include such a screen protector with their orders, but I've no idea how it would perform on our "2.5D" screen. It's also probably not worth ordering a set of skins just for the very average PET film.

The edges won't stick, you'll get a "halo" effect, dust will get in, etc.
You *could* try something from Skinomi, though. I know their wet-apply protectors stick really well on curved glass (I swore by it back in my HTC One X days). You could either try to cut it down to size, if you have such precise tools, or even just stick the whole thing over your skin, it'll probably be fine. Plus you get protection for your nice skin.
I am in the same boat. I'm getting a skin for mine and want to still be able to protect my screen.
Yesterday I received i-croo full screen protector and I think it's the best protection available today. This type of PET must be combined with proper case like Ringke Slim to avoid peeling on edges.

We are looking to cover just the screen though. Not the entire front. We have skins that cover everything on the front but the screen.
Put on a full coverage screen protector.
A wet install one would work the best.
If not a wet install, one like the Spigen Curved Crystal is excellent.
Then apply the front skin directly on top of the protector.
I did this for a while and it worked perfectly with the Spigen Curved Crystal.
The skin actually stuck well to the protector, and the corner cutouts of the protector allow the skin to stick to the screen directly and hold the protector down better.
Here is the amazon link for the Spigen protector, only $8.99 for a 2 pack right now.

I had considered that. Obviously it would stick to a glass protector, but any experience with applying a skin to a wet apply protector? I only ask because I'm not sure I'm sold on using a glass one on the curved screen. Also, thanks for the link!

The glass protectors for the S7 Edge are ALL horrible, do not use them.
The Spigen Curved Crystal is a curved PET protector, it actually fits the phones really well.
There was some problems with the initial batch of protectors but that has been fixed and now they are perfect.

Over the Spigen protector?
That is exactly what I was saying to do, it works perfectly.
Hi,
I ordered one cover and screen protector and they are a bit disappointing. The cover is a bit slippery and the tempered glass screen protector has sharp/hard edges. So anyone can recommend me better tpu cover and full screen protector? Those titles with 3D 5D 6D tempered protector are confusing and not clear at all to me.
I see the ones from Nillkin are good? Current screen protector I've applied today showed the rainbow effect, what does it mean exactly?
After buying quite a few cases for this phone, this is the best case I've come across. It's not the most protective against drops, but it is a really great case.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/283241738671
The screen protector I'm currently using is a tpu style much like this one. I could never find a glass one that fit correctly.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/233013046340
The "D" related to tempered glass has to do with the hardness of the glass. The higher the number the harder the glass. I've never really trusted those numbers when it comes to the $1.99 protectors on eBay rated as a 9D. I've used a lot of them, but didn't really think they were really 9Ds.
Edit: The "D" I was referring to was actually the "H" score that is sometimes given with glass protectors. Sorry for the confusion.

I didn't know there are tpu screen protectors. What's your experience with it?
I thought the D are for how round the edges are. I had a screen protector and the edges were not round, just plain hard/sharp.

It does the job. Covers the entire screen. Feels a bit rubbery. Your finger doesn't glide as smoothly as on a glass protector, but it's not a horrible experience. Covers and protects the entire screen. That's good enough for me.
You're right. The "D" is for the rounded edges. I was thinking of the "H" that is given with the hardness score. My bad.

Does the screen protector also covers the black borders around the screen? I once had screen protector that didn't covered the black borders, not even the screen, more like 95% so it got the rainbow effect. It was very clear and annoying when watching content or browsing.
The H is for hardness, yes. The D is pretty overused, 2.5D, 3D, 5D, 6D and so on. Atm rebought the screen protectors I was happy with and also from Nillkin. So gotta find out which is fine and if not, the tpu version you linked.
I think I'll stick with tpu case I got it included when I bought the phone. I just doesn't understand why it got fuzzy or foggy(?).

Yep. It covers the screen from edge to edge. You just have to be really careful putting it on. Perfectly clear. No rainbow effect at all.
Ha ha. Yeah, the included tpu case was clear for about three weeks for me. Turned milky white after that. I wash it with warm, soapy water every once in a while, but it fogs up again within a few weeks.

Haha, so it was not me getting crazy. I think I'll keep using the original tpu back cover, it's the most sturdiest, anti-slippery and protective one. It's not like I'm showing everyone the back of my phone anyway.

I have that one too. It's really great for protection, but the raised edges of the case get in the way if you are using gestures in stead of the navigation buttons.
Just got this one and put it on. This is the best screen protector that I've found. Completely covers the screen. It's very smooth to the touch. Really happy with it.

TPU case
I have many cases as well, but this one Leather "Porsche Design" Type Case is by far my favorite. Very premium feeling with a nice protective lip, but not high enough to hinder the navigation gestures. Tempered glass screen protector fit just fine with no issues(don't use one anymore, but I did when it was new...), and the leather has held up quite nicely. Excellent grip from this case. It's kind of hard to see in some of the pics, but it does have the Porsche Design logo stamped into the center panel.

Are these tempered glass screen protectors full adhesive or just adhesive on the sides?
Just fitted a supershieldz from Amazon USA. Fit was good but a little disappointed that it was dot matrix design. Its not very noticeable but would have preferred a full adhesive glass one. Does one exist?
Gf bought me a standstone rubber case and it's great. Similar thickness to the original, but in black sandstone.
