I'm looking for a screen protector that works well with the s pen (as I use it a lot) and is very clear (I don't want to know it's there). The spigen glass tr looks interesting but I heard it's pretty difficult to apply correctly and I don't feel like spending a lot of money on something that leaves air bubbles. The zagg hd invisible shield also looked promising but reviewers say it leaves marks when you use the stylus. So I'm really confused now... I might end buying the Samsung screen protectors, available 2 at a package, which are also relatively cheap and I can replace frequently. So...any suggestions?
I have a Zerolemon case..I've removed the fitted screen protector and added a Zagg invisible shield. It is superb and I have no issues with the S pen.
I'm ordering Zagg for all our tablets and my Alienware screen

The Zagg was also easy to apply and all air bubbles left within a couple of days.

Zagg has different options, which one do you have?
Smudge proof, HD etc?
I'd need to check. It wasn't expensive it is certainly anti smudge and anti glare. I'll check the package and come back to you in 12 hours.

Where did you get it from?
I've ordered Nillkin Amazing H+ Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass and it is very good...much better then those thin plastic sheets...

You have to go with a tempered screen protector.
I used Ghost Armour, Invisible shield type protectors, they are meh
Film protectors I used clear and matte. I prefer the matte because of oils and how easily my fingers slide across the screen vs the clear that your finger has more friction against it. I consider these protectors 3mo protectors, after that they get ugly (not that bad but im picky). I consider these protectors better than the Ghost Armour style protectors.
Tempered glass is absolutely amazing, the oil on the screen magically goes away. I swear there will be oil, look at my computer screen and read a bit, look back at phone, LESS OIL? No idea how, but i swear it does. Friction is just like using bare glass, no scratches, hopefully never have to take off since there isnt anything to "peel back" as its a sheet of glass.
Just watch for thickness, im using 2.5mm thick and it feels pretty good, I see they go up to 4mm, that might be a bit excessive.
So any specific brand you are suggesting?
I'm in Europe and ordered Orzly tempered glass protector. Went on well and had no problems with it. Was about 10 euros and I bought a second one as backup in case the first one shattered or whatever. Figured 10 euros wasn't much. Bought it on Amazon.de but I'm sure that most of the amazon websites will have some sort of tempered glass varying in prices.
I wouldn't dismiss the Zagg. I had tempered glass on my HTC and it was good but it's not as good as the Zagg I now have here.
Whilst it is a film type protector it has as much in common with the stock Samsung screen protector as a central heating system has with a bonfire.
The self healing element is especially impressive.

Shame on me for not buying a screen protector but I was teaching my 4 year old his letters. I drew two lines for him to write in between and managed to scratch my screen using the correct side of the stylus. No excessive pressure. Rather alarming. I wrote to HTC but know where that will go. Picking up a screen protector tomorrow, but has this happened to others?

I haven't had any problems. It does sound like something on the end of the pen but it would have to be very hard, like a speck of granite or quartz, even then it is hard to imagine it scratching. I just added a matte screen to mine, only because I don't like the shiny screens. It also protects it and reduces the writing sound that the HTC pen makes on the screen. Not completely reduced in sound, but much more subdued. Amazon is selling them for $5 now.

One other thought, I have heard people use a floor wax to clean glass and get rid of scratches. I think it fills in the scratch a little. An untested thought would be to use floor wax and then put a screen protector over the top. Wouldn't cost too much even if it didn't work.

thanks for the advise, going to skip the floor wax though. Purchased a screen protector and installed. The pen actually works well with it so I am cool there. Scratch is still visable. Guess this is just my bad luck, and stupidity. Leason learned, always get a screen protector.

I'm trying to decide between two cases for my Galaxy S4. I've always used Otterbox Commuter cases, but I hate how bulky and unattractive they are. I've narrowed it down to these two. Out of the two, which one would you pick?

Tempered glass protectors offer the ultimate in protection and feel - but careful with case selection. Even using the Spigen GlasT (.23mm) with the SlimArmor was a tight fit. The edges of the protector around the vol rocker kept coming up. I would think with the .4mm protectors, it's even more prone to do this.
Honestly whats the difference between the tempered glass screen protecters and normal ones cuz im using the one verizon gave me and its fine

Tempered glass offer much more protection from drops / scratches than anything plastic. Feel is also identical to screen without any protection. Again, the down side is that they are thicker than their film counterparts - and much more $$$$

the price is the big thing i dont really want to waste 30 bucks on a screen protecter but then again i do want this thing to be protected
Yea the spigen glass protectors are amazing. The feel exactly like actual screen. Plus they are a little more smug resistant. The only thing is that they're thick. Supposedly the spigen one isn't as thick as some other ones are.
They don't cost much more than zaggshields either.

Oh do you have a glass protector with your spigen case? And the protector lip is causing the case to push it up? Valuable info. Is it applied the best it can be? Just curious is all.

I chose the Spigen Glas.t over the Glas.tr because of thickness concerns with the Slim Armor case. With the Glas.t on, the case did fit - however I am having issues of the protector coming up where the volume rocker is. Ultimately, I believe if you use these type of glass protectors, you must choose a case that has a more pronounced edge around the display to keep this from happening.
your choice
It's your choice. choice the one YOU like.
I like the look of the Slim Armor more. I have a Spigen case and it fits very snug and is good quality. Only problem is some of the colors of the Slim Armor are ugly imho. I do like the slate and black but I heard the black is very fingerprint prone.
I'd go with the slim Armor. I got the silver neo hybrid today and love it. So sleek and sexy looking. Was a toss up between neo and slim Armor

Tough hybrid case, very sturdy and fits the phone well.

If you are gonna remove the screen protector, you gotta be very careful, the hard plastic enclosure is very flimsy and can break easily.

I ordered and have already received this one from Amazon US:

J&D have good reviews on their other screen protectors. Examining them they look great. No reviews on this specific one yet as no one has the phone of course.
I used to have screen protectors and now I got tempered glass on my z5, but then when I recommend it for my sibling's X performance it was all ugly and didn't fit perfectly...
I'm just going to wait to see real life examples first...
What I mentioned earlier was tempered glass, FYI
I ordered the Roxit Tempered Glass protector from Sony direct. Great cover - the only shame is they have the top and bottom blacked out - which means they have a weird cutout feature at the top allowing you to still read the Sony logo - wish they had just made it clear all the way through. But would rather have the phone protected. Will keep an eye out for better protectors I the future though - as it would be nice to see the full screen on the front.

Hi,
Thanks for the recommendation, that's look good.
On the amazon site, there is no cut out for the bottom speaker? Is this the case with the real product? How does that impact on sound quality?
I got the J&D. Not too happy with the fit. Very hard to capture in photos, but here you go..
The issue is, the sides don't lay flush, so it shows up kind of white and will be a dust magnet.
This is another reason why I wish all OEM's would STOP using this curved 2.5 glass! Unless there is some real reason for using it all it does is make using a tempered glass protector nearly impossible to use because none of them fit properly without big gaps on the sides. The LG G6 is probably the only mainstream phone with a truly flat screen.

The normal screen has an oleophobic coating to help repel fingerprints.
The screen protector looks fairly good in the fit and finish... does it adhere well on the edges, or is there that little lift that allows dust and dirt to gather underneath?

I don't recommend it due to the price, I can'f find a screen protector that actually sticks on the sides yet. The case is flimsy which I dont care for but the quality is good if that makes any sense.

Anyone find a front film screen protector for the front screen of the fold? I saw some for folding screen on eBay...I know that is a no no but not much for front. Share link if you bought one!

Seems to not be a good idea to put inside screen protector. I think most i see will go on ok and will bend fine but when you eventually remove it it will pull on the soft stock screen and pull it away from the internal screen components. If it is fragile putting pressure on it probably worse pulling on it!
How about the hinge?
