Which is better for a screen protector? tempered glass or film screen protector. I think the Tempered glass is more better since it would better protect the screen from scratches and excessive pressure but i don't know if it would also protect the screen from small dust and sands , since i don't use a tempered glass yet and thinking on getting one, i don't know is there is space between the screen and the Tglass for dust and sands to enter. Anyone here using a tglass protector? does it have any enter points for dust and sand to enter?
Plenty of reviews in the accessories thread, not many favorable things said about tempered glass ones though

My screen cracked while I was on holidays despite it having an Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass protector.
Has anyone else had this same experience of their phone screen cracking despite having a protector on? What have you replaced it with? What would be a better choice?
Both of my Nexus' 4 and 5 had one of those military type thin rubbery feel protectors and nothing has ever happened to the glass despite the amount of times both phones had been dropped. I am hesitant in purchasing one of these for the Sony because it eventually ends up with markings and it has some sort of texture (photo attached).
I think that happens if you hit it too hard, no screen protector can fully protect it all, combine a good tempered glass with a good case, like Ringke Fusion by Rearth.
I got the Copter Exoglass Tempered-glass.
My OnePlus X seems to have micro scratches on the back but not on the front glass...
So do you know if there is also a gorilla protection on the back glass ? Or only on the front glass ?
I don't see why they would want to put gorilla glass on the back. So no, gorilla glass is only on the front.
I was thinking that the back glass and the front glass were the same, because they have the same dimension and the same form factor (I don't know if my english is perfect... I'm french )
But if we can have confirmation... I'm worry because I don't want scratches on the front glass...
You should protect both.
Have a look to the pics here :

Even with protections... If the phone suffered a big fall...
But with a normal use, Gorilla glass 3 seem to be resistant to scratches no ? (not from keys or some stuff in pockets)
If you have some information about that and about the fact that only the front is protected by Gorilla glass 3, feel free to answer
From what I've found on the web Gorilla Glass 3 hardness in Mohs scale is 6.8, so it's just below quartz hardness which is 7. It means that sand grains which are mostly quartz will scratch your screen, so I'd suggest you to buy tempered glass screen protector.
Most good tempered glass screen protectors hardness is 8 (Nillkin glass is 9) and the higher the better. From my experience 9H glass is really hard to scratch. I tried scratching it with carpenters knife which is razor sharp and couldn't leave any marks on it. I even rubbed on it with sand paper and actually it's easier to break it or chip it off than leave some scratches.
As far as it goes for back cover I really doubt it's anything more than just a smoked hardened glass that is going to have much lower scratch resistance than the front, which means that most of hard items that you'll put in your pocket will probably scratch it and to prevent that you need to protect it with a case or some kind of skin (if there are going to be any).
For now if you don't want to put your phone in a case but want to protect both front and back from scratches then you may buy Nillkin set which comes with 9H glass for screen and plastic good quality transparent sticker for back cover (even includes a protective sticker for your camera lens if I got it right).
You have to remember though that glass protector doesn't protect whole front, since it doesn't cover curved parts of the front panel.
Perfect answer, thank you for the advices !
Does it have Gorilla glass or other screen protection?
Nope. None.
Tempered glass is a good choice for this one, because the frame sticks out a bit, and the tempered glass gives it a tad of a 2.5D feel.
Also, with reports of the screen being too sensitive, tempered glass might help with that a bit.
I've just upgraded from my first Android, a chunky and sturdy Samsung Mini 2, to Zuk Z1. Needless to say, I'm super-hyper-worried to scratch its screen. Tbh I don't like the cons of using a protection (less responsive touch? more oily screen?), but from what I've read it's not clear whether Zuk Z1 has Gorilla Glass. Although I'm a careful person, would you advise I buy a protection? If so should I choose a normal screen protector or tempered glass? Thanks in advance
Tempered glass for sure. I'm using those since 2 devices and they feel the same like the original glas.
And they are easy to apply
I bought my zuk z1 in India and seems like a tempered glass was preappllied. It's already there, factory fitted. Can you check to see if you already have one on?

I'm almost sure I don't have any tempered glass pre-applied. It would have been lucky :<
There is no tempered glass preapplied, maybe from that Indian seller but there is no protector.
Tempered glasses are scam. I have one on ZUK Z1. Slight bump and its already chipped. Various sites on the net prove that Tempered glasses do not help much with drops. Its just about scratches. IF you can, get one with oleophobic coating. The normal ones its annoying to remove the oil stains.
I'm using this one since 4 months and it's great in combination with bumper on backside:

It's very easy to apply cause it's like a glass plate to lay on the display. The fingerprints are not as easy to wipe off like without the glass protector, but the reaction is as good as without, so better with protection [emoji106]

No, there's no tempered glass already pre-applied as you'd be able to see it next to home button aswell, not only by earphone. It's gorilla glass just poorly applied.
I recommend tempered glass as there's no 'plastic' feeling when using screen and it feels exactly same as original glass. Also if phone falls from non-extreme height there's big chance tempered glass will crack instead of screen.
Hi guys,
I just bought to me Huawei P10. I would like to ask, does the the phone come already with a screen protection? If yes what kind of glass is that?
After removing the plastic protection i noticed that there is a small glass or protection (very thin but is there) on the top of the screen. After applying a tempered glass on the top of it, because it is slightly bigger than that protection, there is a bubble of air all around the borders of the tempered glass.
So can anyone tell me what kind of glass is that that comes with the phone? It is easy to take it off? Should i substitute it by a tempered glass?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards
It has Corning Gorilla 5 but no oleophobic coating under the factory preinstalled film, which is easily scratched. I have already removed mine and using this glass https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75089574&postcount=32 it is not a full screen but it is not too big and aplies well with no gaps.
Are people really removing that "Corning Gorilla 5" glass and replacing for a different one? Is not good enough? or is one of those debatable things?
Apparently now i have two tempered classes on the top of my screen.
I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0759FWFTK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Should i use the "Corning Gorilla 5" that come with the phone, or the one I bought is better?
Or should i buy a better one like the one suggested by ylapas: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75089574&postcount=32
Thank you again.
I dont see how you can remove the Corning Gorilla 5 screen and use a glass screen protector on it. you have to have the screen on to put on the protector.
