Does anyone here use a tempered glass screen protector for their Nexus 9? I was using mine on a treadmill and dropped it on it's back thankfully but I'm weary of that happening again. Is so, which brand do you use?

I purchased my Orzyl tempered glass on amazon.
What made me choose this was the rounded edges and thinness of the screen protector and I have had previously purchased a screen protector for my HTC one X a long time ago (so I knew this company is legit).
I accidentally dropped something metallic on the edge of the protector and it didn't shatter but it left a dink. This dink eventually turned into into a cracked screen protector but the crack didnt go everywhere; it just resides on the upper half of my screen and you honestly can't feel the cracked mark. It also fits snuggly but be sure to get it straight because mine is crooked LOL.
If I were to compare tempered screen protectors, this one is definitely the better one out of all I have purchased. The one I bought for my HTC M9 was 7 bucks but it already have light scratches on it already and I can see visible lines on my screen protector as if sand was gently rubbed on it. I can't even see a scratch on the Orzyl screen protector. IMO worth the buy.
Over a year has passed since the Note PRO came out. Which is the best screen protector as of today? Has any of you used the Anoke Tempered Glass Screen Protectors 9h hardness, 2.5d Rounded Edges, 0.3mm Thickness? It seems to have received very good overall reviews.
I am still using a plastic-like screen protector from Samsung. I got it as a gift from an electronics store. The problem with it is that it is a finger print magnet. Also, as I use the device as a phone, it is easy to see lots of saliva droplets as I talk to the screen sometimes.

I wont recommend a tempered glass as the extra thickness will interfere with the S-pen

I used a tempered glass that i bought from aliexpress for 4.4 USD
It is good but finger prints are there too
I applied it for protection only
There are no problems with the spen as far as i know
I was going to post the link but the item is already removed
Still perfectly satisfied with my Mime tempered glass screen protector. I have no significant issue with pen use. The only issue is the gap around the bezel but I don't care one iota about that.

Getting my new Nexus 6 this week. I want to get a screen protector for it. Came across these Fosman ones. Has anyone ever heard of Fosman? Reviews seem good. I was going to get a glass screen protector, but since the front of the Nexus 6 is curved I'm pretty sure the glass ones will not stick in the corners.
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

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.

Hey guys,
sorry if my english isn't perfect at all. I just received my Oneplus 5 yesterday and I already have a case, which is good for me. The thing is that screen protection is actually a headache with this phone...
The default screen protector that Oneplus has isn't bad at all, but of course is not something to use forever. So I've read the Orzly thread, the Nillkin thread, even the original Oneplus 5 tempered glass thread, and I still having doubts about what should I definetly buy. I ordered Orzly's tempered glass yesterday, but now some people are telling me that it was a bad idea since it has an "oil effect" and other faults.
So my questions are:
1 - Is the Orzly's tempered glass worthy after all?
2 - Will we have new screen protectors soon with higher quality?
Not sure if I should cancel my order
Thank you all in advance.
I bought the Orzly's tempered glass and I can say that it's worth the price.
However there are things you need to know :
1. it's very a dust magnet near the cutout.
2. there is a rainbow effect with this protection.
3. The touch screen is average...
So now I got the Nillkin tempered glass and I'm very happy with it. Of course it doesn't cover the whole screen (that is the main issue). But there is not rainbow effect. And the touch screen is way better than the Orzly's. And it feels higher in terms of quality.
Also, it's less dust magnet than the Orzly.
In my opinion, you should wait until a compagny releases a good tempered glass (I'm thinking about spigen). But in case you really need a tempered glass screen protector, take Orzly if you a tempered glass that covers the whole screen. Otherwise, take the nillkin.

Thanks, I'll keep the order then and let's see what happens.
the orzly broke on my phone after 2 days, i still have one screen protector left. i hope it lasts longer. I actually was expecting that to happen since orzly's protector is completely flat.
the next time i need a screen protector ill get one of those plastic ones.

I think that doesn't matter what screen protector you have. My girlfriend 3 years ago had the best screen protector ever and her Nexus 4 just was destroyed in a normal fall, so...
Screen protectors are only for scratches, if the fall must destroy the phone it will anyway.
The Orzly TGSP is probably the best one out there. It does have it's problems but it provides full covereage. It's the one i'm using.
I am still using my orzly tgsp because it is the best of the bunch atm. I got lucky and do not have the rainbow effect in the center of the screen, so install carefully and you might not get it either
Thank you all for your answers, I hope to receive it as soon as possible
