False, they are not the same thing. I use it myself. It's thinner, had a whole different feel and is closer to clear than the ZAGG. ZAGG has major orange peel. They function the same way, but are not the same thing. I've been picking up the screen protectors for $1.49. It also has better cut tolerances, they cover more of the screen and are more true to size than the ZAGG.
Xtreme Guard products are usually cheaper on eBay, from the same guy. For some reason it's $2.00 + free shipping on Amazon.

Bought one pack myself. First one I was careless and got dust...second one went on perfectly.
3rd party ones are definitely cheaper but I hate how some are cut , given the nature of the glass on Amaze I figure its a pretty good option.
Boxwaves are very durable and very clear from previous purchase I would recommend.

How does the boxwave Anti-Glare compare to the Crystal Clear? I've had the phone for a while now, I like the clarity without a protector, so I'm thinking of siding with the Crystal Clear.

crystal clear is a good choice, anti glare is not as clear but you deal less with smudges

All the anti glare ones I've seen are a lot more sensitive to skin oils and very noticeable grease look. they also make the screen look dull and not as beautiful. In my personal experience

My question is this: If the screen is gorilla glass, why would you get a screen protector besides the fact of glare???? is there something I don't know?
P.S. our screens are oleophobic, meaning they don't smudge as much as other screens with oil...my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 is an oil magnet but with this phone I have noticed very little oil smudges and wipes right off with a swipe from sleeve of your shirt or something.
I have seen specs that say it is and others that say it isn't.

It is I keyed my own phone cause I had insurance right when I got it...keyed the hell out of it...then keyed my gf old cracked 3g slide screen which is supposed to have gorilla glass, the glass on the amaze seems more resistant....HTC has stated that they do no use actual Gorilla glass but something more advanced...
I then took a knife SO I tested the 3g slide with mine and amaze is definitely more scratch resistant...NO GLASS IS EVER SCRATCH PROOF not even gorilla glass, take a sand paper to it and it'll leave scratches...so I guess if you drop you phone on sand or small pebbles you can scratch it no matter what you have..but as long as I don't have to worry about putting my phone and keys in the same pocket i'm fine...but it seems very resistant to scratch and smudge from my own experience. I absolutely hated smudges on my N1 and on my galaxy tab 10.1 I can't even tell on my amaze...
remember gorilla doesn't mean its shatter resistant...its only scratch resistant partially...although screen covers seem to protect from major scratches even sand paper... they don't protect form shattering...when I had an Iphone (big mistake) i used to have zagg, bodyguardz, gadgetguardz, and i still managed to shatter my screen lol...
if you have an older phone like an N1 take your finger and try to smudge the screen and try to smudge the screen on this phone you will see a major difference even if you have oily hands, the oil comes off with a quick sweep, as on my old N! it would smudge....
btw my gf sensation which is listed under gorilla glass shattered the first time she dropped it lol....here are some tests of gorilla glass and amaze glass

Gorilla glass or not you should have a screen protector
I use the S-Pen a lot, mostly for sketches or quick notes. I have gone through a bunch of screen protectors that either leave scratch marks or create a lot of friction, like rubber on rubber. I really don't want to use one of those thick glass screen protectors since the one I bought literally shattered within a month lol. Instead of wasting 100+ bucks trying to find the right screen protector it would be awesome if someone could recommend one that they have personally used and works great with the S-Pen.
Instead of replacing your screen protector again, have you changed your spen tip? Try the plastic ones that came with it instead of the rubber ones.

Did you have a case on it also? I think the thicker glass protectors are more apt to break when dropped without a case since they stick up above the edge of the phone.

I had a transparent TPU case on it, but like you said because they are so thick there isn't much of a lip. They are more apt to getting hit. I was thinking of maybe getting those cheap tempered glass protectors from eBay since there isnt that big of a difference in quality, they are only like 8 bucks so i can probably buy 5-6 in bulk.

Zagg. I don't use anything else. Feels nice with the pen. Good warranty too - Samsung had to replace one of my Note 3s, so they took the Zagg off and stuck it on a piece of paper. It's costing me a little over $3 (shipping & handling, I guess) for a new screen protector. Zagg didn't do anything wrong, the protector's still fine. But they're replacing it.

Are you keeping your Z Ultra once the Z2 is released? I'm debating if I should keep it or not.
I've always used Zagg HD version and never had issues. Does anyone know if any of the listed screen protectors as well as the tempered glass are waterproof? This device is water resistant so say i spend some time with under water pictures. Will i have to worry that my screen protector will fall off?
What's the benefit of putting a tempered glass screen protector on top of a glass phone? Glass on glass?

I would bet they are water resistant, at least to a strong degree. The benefit is the same when using a screen protector: that you don't damage the original glass. Also its real glass, so it retains the feel of glass.

Umm, I have two questions.
1. Since its glass and not plastic sheet, doesn't it add extra weight to the device?
2. Is it crystal clear? I usually order these.

They have glass ones tho, although a bit more expensive, but I don't really care about the price.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-xt-tempered-glass-screen-protector-cover
Edit : Make that 3 questions, 3rd would be, is the protector for both back and front or front only?
My Nillkin came in yesterday, bit disappointed in the rear protector. I thought it would be the same as the front, I guess I'll have to order something better for the rear like a wet mount one.

I haven't seen it off of the backing paper yet being that I don't have the phone yet. It has the typical green/blue hue on the edges that you normally see on clear glass(which really isn't clear), so it's technically not crystal clear. Being that it's so thing I'm sure it's effectively clear.

Hmm, just wanted to know if it'll affect the screen clarity in anyway. I like screen protectors which act like they're not even there when it comes to viewing the screen.
Guys i bought Nilkin from dx-box they sent me for Z1C then they told me they were gonna send again for Z2.I bought magnetic charging cable as well from same place and they sent me again wrong one for Z1.Be aware about this website.
I looked at that nilkin glass screen protector and I looked at the pictures and it looks like there are no cutouts for the front facing speakers. Isn't that going to muffle the sound or damage the speakers?

Isn't the magnetic cable the same for the Z1 and Z2?
Also, is there anyone selling just a non-glass rear protector for the Z2? I like those because it makes the back more grippy and makes me less concerned about setting it down anywhere. I don't like front protectors.
I was wondering if someone found a front AND back set with tempered glass? Couldn't find any. I currently have this on my Z1:
http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z1
Have anyone who installed tempered glass and put it into water, will it peel off and unable to stick to the screen??
I gonna buy Z2 so i need dual layer of tempered glass for front and back. I do search online but unluckily there is nothing show for dual layer(front and back).

The coupon works with that one as well.
Edit: Came out to $6
I am using one of the tempered glass screen protectors on my Oneplus One right now. I bought 2 of them when they were $49.99 and then 90% off coupon so $10 total.
I also had bought an Orzly tempered glass for my Oneplus One and it looks and feels identical to the Xtemegaurd. The only difference is the packaging.
The Xtemegaurd comes in an envelope while the Orzly comes in a very nice package.
I have had the Xtemegaurd Spartan Glass on my Oneplus One for a couple of weeks and no marks that I can find and it is so much nicer than even a Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector. Tempered glass really feels like the actual screen and is much better with fingerprints.
figured these would work well until a tempered glass is confirmed to work since the class might be curved
I 've just ordered 3 screen protectors and 3 hig-def dry screen protectors.
10$ since I live outside US. I hope they are good quality screen protectors

Oh thanks a bunch man, bought a bunch of glass screen protectors and some of the regular ones. Figured it was so cheap it was worth the risk involving the phone having a slightly curved screen.
When I ordered the wet-apply screen protectors last night, the Tempered Glass ones were not even listed! Thanks for the heads up, and I also confirm the 90% off works on the glass ones. $6 shipped! My order of the plastic ones shipped today from Utah, should have them by Thursday.

Hello,
i just received my Nillkin 3D CP+ Max tempered glass two hours ago,
and guess what? it was damaged 10 minutes later because of my casology vault 1 case!
i wonder what should i do to protect my phone's screen from drops?
any ideas about Anything compatible with that case i should use to protect my phone?
seems like all glass protectors are the same with the cases , also other soft protector isn't designed to protect the phone against drops
what should i do?
Honestly i'm giving up!
I break 3 tempered glass screen protectors with small 0.5m drops. Reason is different from yours. Due to our edge screen, temper glass will get cracked easily.
For your case, u should look for " case friendly " screen protectors. Find those which does not cover the edges or/and full screen. Can be tempered glass, PET or healing verison.
I tried without screen protector. The conclusion is very nice screen but gorilla glass 5 is NOT scratch proof. I got some minor scratches.
In Singapore, we have plenty in physical shops, and online shops like q10sg and lazada etc. selling mobile phone accessories. So i have no links to share with you. Just search for some " case friendly " screen protectors.
Ps:
I wasted about sgd100 on screen protectors. Hahah
I gave up on tempered glass. I use spigen neo flex wet apply for now. Going for lifeproof fre when it comes out.
I basically gave up on TGSP's on these types of devices as well. Display is holding up pretty well w/ my rough handling, haven't seen any scratches yet but I'm sure it'll have some sometime down the line. Lol
Ive spent over $100 on screen protectors for the S8 (whitestone dome was $45) and not a single one has worked. The amount of money Ive paid would have paid for 9 months of Samsung Premium care and with the free month Id get 10 months of insurance which is longer than Ill have this phone. Yes Id still have to pay a $99 deductible but Id have a perfect phone in 24 hours if I break it vs no insurance and a box of useless screen protectors.
Ive been able to return all but one protector so Ive decided to focus my money on insurance and peace of mind knowing that when it breaks Ill have a new one.
Skip the screen protectors and get insurance. The headache is just not worth it. If the scratches get to the point of bothering you, start carrying the phone naked. Eventually you're going to need to file a claim.
Here's another one https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/accessories/type-screen-adhseive-glass-sort-t3618285
Give this one a try. Working flawlessly on my device.

I've just got one of those plastic screen protectors from Invisible Shield that doesn't go all the way to the edge. It does the job. Either way, with or without a protector, your phone is still vulnerable to drops.

Oh yeah, I should've mentioned -- I've got a Spigen Neo Hybrid and it slips on/off without any issues and works with the protector.
I've had the same exact issue. I've bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case (perfect case by the way, I love it, had the same on my Nexus 6, showcases the back of the phone while protecting it just as well as the well-known neo hybrid case). I knew that the tempered glass screen protectors won't work with it well and I didn't want to waste my money on them. I looked for something different. I ended up buying the official screen protector for under $10 (you get 2 for the price) (this one, only for S8 instead of S8+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/accessories/official-samsung-s8-screen-protector-t3600373 , model number is Samsung ET-FG950CT).
I thought it might fit with the case. But when I came home, after a while I realized that this isn't gonna work. So I was deciding what to do, return the protector? But then I'd have to find another one, which might be long and expensive journey. I didn't want that.
So I grabbed my scissors and started to cut the protector carefully. There was not much I could lose. I cutted it to the point where it doesn't interfere with the case, but covers pretty much the whole display. It isn't the most elegant solution, but it works and I am satisfied with it. And I still got one screen protector to repeat the process in case this one ever gets damaged

Hello,
i just received my Nillkin 3D CP+ Max tempered glass two hours ago,
and guess what? it was damaged 10 minutes later because of my casology vault 1 case!
i wonder what should i do to protect my phone's screen from drops?
any ideas about Anything compatible with that case i should use to protect my phone?
seems like all glass protectors are the same with the cases , also other soft protector isn't designed to protect the phone against drops
what should i do?
Honestly i'm giving up!

The tempered glass that works for me is the Ankoon tempered glass screen protector. The screen protector just covers up to about where the edge begins to curve. In that way when you put a case on it, it doesn't rub up against it were it bends the tempered glass protector.
I have the GS8 with the Spigen Neo Hybrid case and I do not have any problems with the tempered glass screen protector lifting against the case. If you do get this tempered glass screen protector, I would advise you to get the 2-pack of this screen protector since its not that much more than the single pack and you have a spare screen protector handy to replace the current screen protector if it starts to break down.

i opened the link at amazon and i saw A LOT of angry people reviewing the Protector
Same, I would only trust full adhesive ones and not ones with adhesives on the sides only.
I guess I got lucky on mine. Have the S8 Plus and have had no problems at all with my screen protector. I read up on them beforehand and read plenty of reviews and just decided to not even attempt a glass screen protector.
I ordered two kinds on Amazon. The IQ Shield liquid skin, and the Spigen Neo-flex. I put the IQ Shield on, took maybe 10 minutes, and haven't had a single issue after about a month now, all the edges are still stuck down. It's very clear and seems durable. It reminds me of a Zagg invisible shield but not nearly as "rubbery" feel. It feels like a cross between a Zagg invisible shield and a glass one. I'm still on the first one so haven't had a chance to compare it to the Spigen and I also have a spare IQ Shield.
I also ordered the Caseology coastline series slim transparent cover. Works great with the above screen protector. Like they were made for each other and it protects great. It's taken quite a few drops and at least twice has flown out of my cycling top flying down the road at 23 mph. Barely a scratch!!

Yes because they are bunch of noobs that do not know how to apply this tempered glass screen protector. Anyways it seems like with these curved screens almost all of the tempered glass screen protectors just have adhesives on the side and you stick it on.
I was like you fed up and almost just gave in to do the wet screen protectors but just the mere thought of having to spray the beautiful phone with the solution and squeegee out the excess AND not to mention that you have to wait like half a day for the thing to dry out before using it made me at least consider trying 1 more tempered glass screen protector which this one talked about having less real estate it covers to provide enough cushion to apply a case and sure it enough it worked for me. I ordered the 2 pack version which is through the link below. For some reason Amazon separated the product reviews so this one has more positive reviews but you are never going to satisfy everyone.
I guess I could post a pic to show what my phone looks like with the screen protector on and the case.

There is no need to use screen protector in today's phones. I stopped in late 2015 and none of my phones got any scratches on screen (and I put them in my bag with my keys all the time). The gorilla glass 4/5 are super strong and scratch resistant.
I bought a couple from AliExpress dint work as well as needed the screen fully works but bringing the notification panel down was an issue but give the Whitestone dome protector i have a friend who uses it and says its brilliant though its pretty expensive but rather 50 bucks than getting a new screen my Opinion
Just got these in 2 days ago and it works great! They actually have the screen protector just the right width do that the case does not peel up the glass, also my old Spigen case doesn't peel it up either, just throwing that out there if you dont like the cases.
