I'm probably not going to get alot of fans for this one due to the price but I can vouch for the quality of the Bodyguarz Pure tempered glass screen protector. I had one of these on my iPhone for over a year and it never lost its oleophobic coating, got one scratch or chipped.
I decided to go the cheap route on my G3 and purchased an i-Blason off Amazon. I installed it today was really disappointed. It chipped on the corner very easily and it was already a fingerprint magnet out of the box although it said it had multiple coatings. I pulled it off and headed down to the AT&T store and grabbed a Bodyguardz. Its $35 just like the Zagg or Spigen. It has a lifetime warranty. I have owned the Spigen and Zagg on other family members phones and each has their pros and cons. The Spigen is very nice but can be spotty on customer service. I have also had issues with all of the Spigens seating solidly around the edges. They always seem to have spots the adhesive is not good. The Zagg (on a Galaxy S4) seems to be good but lost its coating quickly as well. The Bodyguardz has the best oleo coating hands down. Its drawbacks are thickness (.4mm) and edges are not rounded. Still I can easily over look these things as the oleo coating is my #1 priority. Another thing I like is the Pure has a cutout for the earpiece which most of the cheaper ones do not protect the edge of the screen around the earpiece.
Anyway, for those heading into the AT&T store tomorrow check these out.
UPDATE: Many are experiencing touch sensitivity issues and have returned this shield. I also had the same issues.
I was a fan of the bodyguardz glass screen protector I had for my old note 2. I was sad when I couldn't find one from them for my g2.
Do they have ones for the g3 listed on their site?
Not sure if they are listed on the site. I just went in and picked one up at the store. If you are Premier, I would think they can be ordered though.
Do u find the accuracy and sensitivity are less with this protector? It seems that way to me. U are absolutely right about the oleophobic coating though. And marks that do appear, disappear on their own through coming in contact with fabric from my pocket

I took mine off. It definitely affected the screens sensitivity. I got sick of tapping the same icon 5 times before it would register. I wasted 35 dollars. I'm awaiting my nillkin screen protector. It's thinner and hopefully doesn't affect screen responsiveness. The oleophobic coating is great though.

Sorry I didn't come back to this thread and edit my original post. I also returned mine over this past weekend. I did love the coating but I too experienced some sensitivity issues. I didn't even read about them but got fed up and got my money back.
I decided to go with the iCarez off Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KGSW734/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
At $8.95 it is unbelievable. It has rounded edges and is almost an exact clone of the Zagg that costs $40. Even the installation method is exactly the same. It is thinner at .33mm and I haven;t noticed any touch sensitivity issues at all.

Its full screen but does not have the cutout for the earpiece, its just the cutaway. If you can, go to a Best Buy Store and ask to see a Zagg. Usually someone in their mobile dept will have one on their G3 or S5. That will give you an idea of the quality, thickness, etc. It is exactly the same. I'm guessing same plant in china makes them and Zagg just overcharges.

Im looking for a tempered glass screen protector which tapers (or just going) around the screen at the edges.
I ordered one from ebay, but the top of the screen is not defended because the cut part. From the other hand, this is not going around at the edges...

I am pretty sure I bought mine from Amazon which saved me a few bucks on shipping. I highly recommend this product. It is clear and pretty smooth. In retrospect, I may get the oleophobic version next.
I got the Oleophobic version the other day. Ordered from Amazon to save on shipping since I'm a Prime member. Absolutely love this protector. You can't even tell that its on the phone unless you look closely at it. Its smooth, clear, no rainbow affect, finger prints hardly show and if they do wipe away with ease. Great protector. One side note, they send you two in the package. Nice surprise...
In my opinion, Steinheil makes the best screen protector on the market. I've been using them for years on all my devices.

Do you know if the Oleophobic has the same clarity as the Ultra Clear? I dont want to get anything that will cloud the screen.
It's a great screen protector, I bought the Oleophobic version and you cannot tell that it's even there.
Using the Oleophobic.
Noticeably more friction than the stock screen.
Does appear to make finger oils more apparent than stock screen.
Easy to wipe off.
Does cover the Front facing camera and sensor ports.
I highly suspect the protector would affect front camera performance, although I have not checked this.
Cutout for the earpiece only.
Two pieces in the package, with cloth and scraper. No alcohol wipes.
As always, apply in a clean, dust-free environment.
I'd call it above average.

I am using the Ultra Crystal Clear and I am very happy with it. It did not affect the clarity of the screen before and after installing it. I chose it for the clarity and for the scratch protection.
Unless someone has used or installed both versions on their phone, I think it will hard to judge what is better in terms of clarity. HTH.
Quotes from the SGP web site :
(Sorry I can't still post URL, so if you go to their sgpstore.com site and under cell phone > Samsung SGS2 AT&T)
Ultra Crystal and Ultra Oleophobic screen protectors are both clear type where it absolutely doesn't affect the screen image quality.
Ultra Crystal has glass-like surface coating with the best resistance against scratches.
Ultra Oleophobic has an oil resistant coating to resist oil and other contaminants.
Ultra Crystal : Ultimate Clarity
• Ultra Crystal : 25% Thicker than previous model
• Hard coated for Scratches and Scuffs Proof
• High Quality Optical Enhancement Film
• Ultimate Clarity surface hardness : 4H
Ultra Oleophobic : Oil-Resistance
• Oleophobic coating : Oil-resistance coating
• it protects from staining of oils, cosmetics and other contaminations
• High Quality Optical Enhancement Film
• Good Surface Hardness : 3H

I agree with you on the grainy aspect of the Moshi iVisor screen protector.
I was almost going to purchase it at the AT&T store when two of the AT&T sales guys showed me their Infuse phones one with the iVisor installed and one without. And that's when I decided to go with Steinheil instead. The iVisor on that phone made his screen so matte or so grainy.
Obviously the iVisor has other advantages (scratch resistant, reusable) but not the clarity one for me.
I'm looking to get a screen protector for my galaxy s2 as well. i've heard a lot of horror stories with screen protectors and leaving residue/ruining the screen so I'm a little hesitant in choosing one.
I know this phone has gorilla glass but it never hurt to protect it.
Is the ultra oleophobic worth the 13.99? Can someone confirm the front-facing camera quality since the protector covers it?
Or should i settle for those $1-3 ones on ebay?

I just got my olephobic, it's well worth the $14. Front facing cam is not affected by it, picture quality is beautiful. It blocks oils, so you can easily wipe them off, for that fresh feeling.

I use sgp screen protectors on all of my devices and i love them. I have tried all of them but the only one that i use and wikll ever use on this device is the ultra crystal because its the only one that doesnt take away from the shininess of this screen. The screen on this phone is by far the best on the market so i want to keep it that way.
Well I guess the comments answer my questions. I'm not too worried about protection, but just want something that will show less fingerprints.
Im planning to get the oleophobic one aswell but I had a question about if I should use this screen protector that came with this gel case I purchased off eBay. the case is nice and all and it came with an ordinary protector, but because I've never applied a screen protector on any phone before - I was wondering should i apply it? I'm very obsessive about the screen on my galaxy s2 and don't know if removing a screen protector incase i dont like it will damage the screen or anything? there is no adhesive or other solution that came with it, its one of those that u just apply it on after removing covers on both sides

It should be fine, and you should use the one you got with your case for practice before putting on the steinheil one, I wish I did. After using both steinheil protectors, I put on the ebay one perfect, wish it was the other way around, lol.

Theres a big thread about it and other guards here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441894
The consensus I gathered is that they both have the same cutouts and overall clarity, but the spigen takes the slight lead with a better coating leading to more smoothness and fingerprint resistance. That being said it comes at a price of +$15. I'm holding off till black friday/cyber week to see any deals arrise at which point I'll either go with the deal or order an iLoome.
yeah im on page 35 of the thread lol. Reading through 60+pages and keeping everything straight could be an all day task hahah

ya haha it's quite the lengthy one. I personally wish they'd have a camera cutoutt, even if its minor degradation of quality from the glass, I'd rather have the cutout, but hate the massive top cutout ones.
I actually like iloome flex, you can barely tell it's on there. After a week of use the screen is just as slick as without the screen protector but it did drag a bit when it was brand new on the screen. I have a Glas t.r as back up for when/if the iLoome flex needs to be replaced.

Haha, funny you say that. I have the glas.tr and it feels exactly as if it's not there. The smoothness is just solid. I never believed in screen protectors until I got this one for my Note 3. I learned my lesson from my Note 2 that got a random scratch from maybe keys in the pocket or something. Either way, you won't be disappointed. Others complained about the glas.t, so that's why I got the glas.tr. Great decision.
I have the glastr Spigen on my Note 2 and I absolutely love it.
When I got the Note 3 I immediately ordered the same one for it, but I have had two Spigens for the N3 now & both where defective.
At that point, I decided to go a different route & ordered the ilhoome flex. The flex went on perfectly, it is completely invisible.
The flex is not quite as slick as the Spigen & doesn't reject fingerprints & smudges as well as the Spigen, but it is also completely invisible as opposed to the thick kinda ugly Spigen.
You set on getting a glass SP?
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
Now I am using XGear and it's good (MIME cracked so I had to replace).
Spigen one....and I really like their products....
I have the Iloome and it's great. It maybe possible that the Spigen is a by hair smoother though I'm not going to take the Iloome off and spring another $50 nzd just to find out.
I don't think you'll find many people who can give an honest comparison for this reason. Besides the obvious expense, fitting a screen protector is a real pain.
At the end of the day the Spigen may be slightly better but it's certainly not twice as good yet it costs almost twice as much. Something to think about.

I have used both and the Spigen is the best over all. As said in second post they both have the same cutout however the Spigen glass resistance to fingerprint is unmatched. The iloome while easy to clean it attracts fingerprints like a mirror. I returned the Spigen due to the cut not been accurate enough to sit flush with Spigen Neo Hybrid case. The iloome sits flush with my Spigen Neo Hybrid Case so no trapped dirt.

I have to say iLoome tech/help support was A++ Class... they were very apologetic.... basically a picture sent and even thouugh they could not see any issues from there end (hard to take a pic of a clear screen) they apologized completely.... told me steps to take to get a new one shipped out... and i need not ship the other one back.... can't ask for better customer service then that..... best i've probably ever had actually.. as far as screen protectors go I will order from them from here on out just because of the way they treated me as a customer and how prompt they were to make it right

I would agree...a glass screen protector is merely that. some may be a bit better then others but by bit i do mean bit..... if you want to pay twice the cost..... triple the cost etc... for that bit that is your choice.... i payed the amount i payed for the flex.. and that was considerably cheap really... considering this is what happens when u drop a phone from 8 foot or lower (with a decent.. and i mean decent phone cover on it) it's going to shatter that 10-50 dollar screen protector depending on if it lands on that sweet spot.... and in 95% of the cases it may very well do that. the rest are going to shatter the "outter" glass that you applied to it.... NOW the question is did you buy from a reputable company.... I think we can all admit who is reputable and who isn't just from the debate on xda (sorry text is a bit jumped been sick)
Just got my G3 from Best Buy on Sunday and this phone is pretty impressive. I always like to get a screen protector as soon as the phone comes out of the box. I bought the Zagg Invisible Shield Tempered Glass screen protector and it is pretty awesome. Don't have to worry about the orange peel that is on their regular screen protectors and the clarity is really good. Check it out.

I also scratched my screen on the very first day. I am not sure how I scratched it but its there. So in a case of closing the barn after the horse ran off I bought a tempered glass screen protector from Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KGSW734/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Price wise it was 9 dollars but I really liked and and best of all is that it has a life time replacement warranty.
Now about the actual glass its not too thick and though it does slightly protrude a bit you don't really notice unless your really looking for it. The shape is perfect and fits exactly as it should reaching the edges exactly.
Now for the scratch proof test, Since it did have a lifetime warranty I said screw it and took a knife to it. I really did try to scratch it and I wasn't successful. I thought those advertisement pics and videos were bull$hit but it really didn't scratch.
Anyway all in all I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice screen protector and doesn't like the feel of the thin film/ membrane type ones.
That's really cool. I picked up my glass protector yesterday. The brand is body guardz. Purchase price was $39.99+tax. No life time warranty, but if you register you can grab replacement at 20% discount.

Interesting product. I scoffed at the idea of paying $40 for a screen protector, I've lived through all my smartphones on cheap Ebay films. They get scratched up over time, but by the time I even think I should replace it, the phone is over a year old anyway. I've never applied more than 2 over the life of a phone, and the one on my EVO 4G LTE is the one I applied on launch day. Even so, for this price I'd go for the glass protector. That micro-ridge you'd get would be covered by a case anyway, too.

Possibly, I guess it all depends on how big the scratch and how deep it is. Doesn't hurt to try and protect it from more scratches.

I am very particular with my phone. My phone is naked except for the screen. I used to use Zagg on my HTC EVO 4G and Galaxy Nexus, then switched to Bodyguardz for my Nexus 5, but when I realized they didn't make the anti-glare for the G3 I was lost. Amazon saved me. I am so happy I found iCarez. I have another set in the way for my wives new iPhone too.

Picked up a iCarez Tempered Glass protector and must say, for ~$8 you get one heck of a piece of kit. The Protector fits great, looks great, and feels fantastic with a smooth touch. While they are this cheap I highly recommend them.
*Edit* Ha completely missed the first page post, but yes same protector and for the price, this screen protector is the real deal.
Just got my ZAGG invisible shield glass edition from ups today feels great

Just got my G3 from Best Buy on Sunday and this phone is pretty impressive. I always like to get a screen protector as soon as the phone comes out of the box. I bought the Zagg Invisible Shield Tempered Glass screen protector and it is pretty awesome. Don't have to worry about the orange peel that is on their regular screen protectors and the clarity is really good. Check it out.

My ZAGG glass covers the whole screen with my otterbox silhouette case on the only part it doesn't cover is by the ear speaker and the front camera

If i kept my phones long enough i would pay for something like a zagg. Truth is i change phones a lot. Sometimes i dont even have everything come in that i order before i have traded or sold/bought another one. For this reason i usually get a 7-10$ ebay tempered glass protector. I love the glass ones. I cant see how paying an extra 25$ could make it that much better. The cheaper ones feel great imo. I dont think i can ever go back to a plastic screen protector now that i have used glass

Sounds great. Thanks for tip. Ordered mine tonight.
5 months into using the Icarez and I have to say I still love it. No problems with it whatsoever and it still hasn't been scratched. What else can a person want from a screen protector?
@ScottPa74- no problem for the recommendation. THe first thing I do when i get a new device hel sometimes even before I get i come to XDA to check out whether its worth it and what should I get for it.
What 3d glass screen have everyone ordered? Please share on this thread, my screens should be coming soon!!
I'm not a fan of glass screen protectors on a curved screen. There is always to much glare.

I haven't bought one yet, but I'll be getting most of my info from this YouTube channel. This guy does quality reviews.
For example, see this video about the Olixar glass screen protector:
https://youtu.be/o2R1YEX4yrw
He's already stated that he'll be reviewing several glass screen protectors for the S8+, and I think most of the information should apply to the S8 as well.
i bought the olixar one only, says case compatible. Lets see when it comes if it fits with the spigen thin armor.

Sucks that the Amazon link he posted, the item's unavailable. Hopefully it'll come back in stock. Curious about other glass protectors and if they're case-friendly. This one does look promising though.

Another one to look at as well. I actually am currently using one of their glass screen protectors for my S6. Haven't had any issues with it, so also good to know.
Anyone try the Zagg yet? It supposed to have full screen adhesive, hoping to see some user reports though since its $50.
Don't do it!

I went out to Best Buy yesterday to get the Invisible Shield Glass Curve by Zagg and was not impressed. I'm going to try and return it in a couple hours..
The touch response is horrendous. I almost want to call Zagg directly and suggest they pull all these products from stores because I'm sure many people will not be happy.

Zagg isn't even special. they just came around the market early with heavy marketing tactics. Uses the "it cost more , must be better gimmick."

Thanks, looks like I will just go with a plastic protector. I've got a glass one on now but the touch sensitivity is pretty ****ty.
Not a great cover

I'm in the same boat with this screen protector. I put it on last night. I appreciated the little frame to help you guide it, but the screen response is crap. There is one section that I have to forcibly push down for it to register. There are some parts that lift and you can hear the plastic coming down to make contact with the screen when being touched. Not the best fit, and for $50 it better be perfect. Calling Best Buy after work to see about a return / refund. There was a $24.99 one there that I'll try next, but it didn't curve.
Just returned mine.

I just got back from Best Buy like 2 hours ago. I returned it and they asked no questions. I did, however, keep the screen on until I got there because I wanted to explain that I was afraid of breaking the screen protector upon removal. They said it was fine and to go ahead an remove it. It came off pretty easily, which made me wonder how long it would have stayed on if I would have decided to keep it. I got my $50 back and I instead bought the $24.99 I think you're talking about. Also made by Zagg called "HD Clear." Its a floppy plastic one and a lot harder to put on correctly but this is the one I had on my S6 and I loved it. Currently I have my S8 curing so the small bubbles can evaporate.
I'm wondering if after I return my Zagg I should just make a drive to the mall and visit the Ghost Armor kiosk and pay to have them put it on? Their website shows a 'case friendly' one costs $29.99 for the screen alone. Not sure how much the person putting it on would charge above that, but I've at least used them before and they also have a guarantee.
I had a tempered glass protector on my S6 that was great, but it had a flat screen so no issues. I tried 2 different tempered glass on my S7 Edge. Neither were any good so I went with a plastic shield that was OK but it's not the same as glass. I just put a Armorsuit plastic screen protector on my S8. It looks better than the one I had on my S7 Edge. If you go on Amazon and check out the reviews on the glass protectors, you see almost all bad reviews. The good reviews are probably mostly fake. I'm going to wait and see if someone finally makes a glass screen protector that actually works properly on curved screens.
I ordered the Philonext on Amazon, arriving tomorrow. I will post later on how it is.
The problem with the 3D curved tempered glass is that the adhesive they use is not like the flat glass versions. Not sure why no one can do this. If you look at all full coverage glass (had one for the LG V20, same issue) the adhesive is only on the outer most edges. Since the adhesive is like .02mm or so, the rest of the screen doesn't sit flat against the display. So this causes the user to use a bit more force to press down on the glass cover. Until someone can fully coat the glass with adhesive as the fully flat glass does, then all will suck. I bought the Verizon Full coverage glass and it's the same...bad touch sensitivity!
I've been reading all the threads in the forum after I brought my OP 5 yesterday (supposed to arrive to me in the next 2 weeks) and I cant find any solid recommendation.
There aren't any brands making screen protectors to our devices and even less reviews.
-I saw people saying to stay away from the original screen protector made by Oneplus due to the few millimeter lost cause by it.
-I looked on the Orzly screen protector and it looked quiet well but after searching the web I saw multitude negative reviews due lack of adhesiv, dot metrix and rainbows showing up on the screen. but some other who claims the protector is completely fine
In conclusion: In the Glass screen protectors section, there is no good product that will be fine with guarantee ?
If so, there is any other kind of screen protector (not glass one's) such as Skinomi or IQ Shield that are recommended?
I have to order any kind of screen protector as soon as possible before my device will arrive.
thanks for your professional support !
Every single option, glass or TPU, sucks. The best option is the non-glass protector that ships applied to the phone. Baby that one as long as you can.

Still the best, even covered in 2" of lint lol
As much as the screen protectors suck, the Orzly is stil the best of the bunch. I have it installed with no rainbow effect in the middle. Again, I think this is a case of people who have the issues are the ones you see. It depends on how you install it I guess. I know a few others who have also installed it without the rainbow, but I know people who have installed it and have had the rainbow. At least it is a fully screen protector, that doesnt cut off a millimeter of the screen basically, and at least they aren't a company that blames the user for obvious issues with their TGSP *cough* Oneplus *cough*
Take it from someone who has been through 5+ different screen protectors... About the only one that was semi worth a damn was Orzly. You run into ones that don't fill the entire screen and leave the edges exposed, don't stick, cover the front camera or ones that just flat out don't end up sticking. I wish I didn't end up taking off the one that the OP5 came shipped with but oh well lesson learned. As I said as of right now the only semi decent one is Orzly but even that one I had issues with the glue towards the edges peeling so the screen wouldn't respond because the protector was coming off the screen a little. Still though - Orzly or Manufacturer screen that was originally on the one are your best options at this point.
I really like the IQ branded film protector. I've had no problems with it and I only really notice it when I swipe along the edges and feel the film.

do you use the clear protector or the matte one?

I'm using the clear one. It's definitely not as smooth as glass but it's smooth enough. It's more smooth than a glass screen without a oleophobic coating. Fingerprint residue is minimal. The only case I have is the sandstone one from OnePlus and I have no problems with it.

Using the clear IQ protector here too. So far it's the best I've found. I've used the official TGSP, Orzly TGSP, and a couple other cheaper TGSPs. The wet application film screen protectors are the way to go for this phone it seems. Helps a lot with finger prints and I haven't had any issues with it not being slick enough.
think ill just go nude and use a thick case lol. haven't had any scratches on my s8+ which also has gorilla glass 5.
man do i hate how all phones have curved glass of some sort.
Damn those curves.. Let's hope that maybe in a few weeks we will finally get a proper screen protector.

I went and removed the factory installed protector, it was a bad idea. Now I have small hairline scratches on the bottom right corner. I've now ordered a tempered glass in Amazon to hide the scratches.
The one that came with the phone is fantastic imo. I haven't enjoyed tgsp since my nexus 6p because of the 2.5D curved glass craze, no tgsp fits any phone good anymore. Axon, Samsung (ROFL, you thought OUR screen was bad?) , I haven't looked at the screen protectors for the G6, but the screen doesn't appear to be 2.5d so that's a step in the right direction..
When my stock screen protector gets unusable, I'll buy the 30$ crash guard from rhinosheidl ?????? Just to see if the hype is real...
Unless someone already has photos of it....

No idea whatsoever, my stock screen protector from oneplus is still in fantastic shape, so I don't imagine ordering four a couple more months at least.
The ones for the oneplus 3 are 13 dollars on amazon, and ship with prime in the US.. So I imagine in a few weeks the price will become more better.
I've recently seen this on the taobao site. GOR branded TSP. I've used their flat ones on other phones and am quite satisfied with the performance. They have 2 versions, one with the black border, one with a edge sealant sort of thing. I'm planning to get the sealant version next month since my option to add items for cheap shipping is exhausted for July....
If anyone's in China or has bought one, some feedback would be appreciated.

Its says in the description, "Not edge to edge protection. (NOT FULL COVERAGE)" so there is no false advertising
