Glass screen protectors - Samsung Galaxy Fold Guides, News, & Discussion

I dont see why it isnt possible for someone to make a screen protector that is split in two that fits on each side of the screen. This would eliminate the issues with being having to be gentle with the screen, as only the fold would be at risk of scratching and denting.

I now see that this would probably be pretty distracting seeing those edges of the protectors in the center of the screen. Even the fold is visible sometimes. So yea, carry on

Its not just that, the plastic film on the foldable led screen is not designed for an adhesive, and the hinge is not designed for a bigger gap that the additional few mm of the glass would create. Samsung would encourage people to use one if the design allowed it in the first place

I used one available on ebay. It's a soft flexible plastic material. Kinda self healing. Had it on for 2 months and removed it just fine with no damage to the actual screen at all. Replaced it with a new one and the original screen is still perfect underneath. I'm not afraid to use it without washing my hands first now. Lol

Is your screen protector scratch resistant?
In this video the healing shield screen protector seems nice. Made in Korea.
https://youtu.be/MjYNWqVIUp
The rest are made in China which may not be good.

That video doesn't show any results for me. But yes it is self healing, has a bit of a rubberized texture, like a zagg but thinner. I've only tried scratching it with my fingernail so not too great of a test. But overall you can't even tell it's on there so I'm happy with it. My device feels more secure.

+1 for the ebay one! Got full device and loving it so far!

Do not buy this case !

This case sucks the outside is allright and will protext but it is ugly and the screen protector is twice as bad both sides are almost impossible to put on without a bubble and even if you do manage to get them on with no bubbles then the adhesive type stuff that makes it stick makes it look dorty and messy its a shame cause it works well and you can only use it once so if you mes up at all you are screwed
good tip, just right now my order on amazon for this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049SVT54 was shipped, do you know how is it ?
never tried it but a lil update tho the back of the phone looks a lil better after a few days of us but the screen protector part is crap
I do not understand why people remove the screen protector in the first place; the phone already comes with one which is perfectly good.

Because screen protectors are ugly crap. The purpose of a screen protector is keeping the screen unscratched during the transportation and storage, until somebody buys the product.
I always remove the screen protector before I start the device for the first time. I bought the device in order to use it not to keep it like a museum exhibit.
BTW, I just LOVE people who buy screen protectors for gorilla glass devices )))

Getting display scratched in a way that cannot repaired except for swapping the display ($$$) is way more ugly, if you ask me.
Yea but you can buy a screen protector that looks clean and cool like it is not even there instead of the original that is ugly and has that little dirty tab that says tear me off I got a great reusable screen protector from tmobile you can't even tell its there I love it and I kept this on the back of my phone cause it does protect it even if it doesnt look quite right its better than a ugly case

It's pretty simple: don't put your phone in the same pocket you put your keys/other stuff in and it won't get scratched) I have mine for ~7 months and I have no scratches on the display.

I bought this screen protector on ebay, but it was amazing. I've been using this for like 3 months now and I have no problems. Applying was easy with no problems and had barely any bubbles. I rate it 5/5.
I got an otterbox of ebay. It came with a screen protector
works great, crystal clear, nice and smooth to the touch, and easy to clean of my greasy hand marks (I work on cars).
I just hate the way the screen looks but the outer part is cool

Received my glass screen protector today

I couldn't stop laughing when I opened the envelope from china. Looks a little thick. I hope its not Plexiglas or acrylic. Either way I suppose my phone is ready for anything with this protector. I'm just guessing they're overreaching a bit on the marketing pitch.
I'll update when I get it on.
where did you order this from? send me link plz! Did you also remove the shatter-proof film already attached to the Xperia?
I have installed a similar one but different brand it's quite good. Very clear and not fingerprint magnet.

I put on mine 5 minutes ago, I had an anti glare one before, and boy is this smoother than anything I've ever put on a phone... It has an effective oleophobic coating so you barely see any fingerprint, and touchscreen works fine, no issues at all.
It is actually pretty thick, but I guess it adds no more than 10 grams so I don't really care, I have a basic gel back cover and you can barely see it even if it's considerably smaller than the screen (talking about 1.5mm all around), and even though the holes for sensors and led are REALLY holes, you can literally fill them with water (I'm joking, but I will try and let you know... ).
Only problem with these protectors is you have to get it on on 1 max 2 moves, because replacing it is a real pain in the arse. Because is thicker and heavier and stiffer than any other screen protector, you can't simply put a piece of magic tape on the corner and peel it off, you have to do it with a nail or something like a guitar pick or it doesn't come off. Hence the difficulty if you happen to leave a freaking dust particle under it (usually at the center of the screen, where you see it EVERY SINGLE TIME you take a glance at your device).
Lastly, big bubbles are non existing, instead there are a million of infinitesimal bubbles that go away with hard work with a squeegee, or the producer claims they go away by themselves in the next few days.
Overall, if the bubbles really do go away in the next few days, I'll be really happy with my purchase.
Will keep you posted anyway.
P. S. If you're wondering, yeah, pen and pencils work just fine, I'd say better, since you don't have to worry about the screen (or screen protector) getting scratched...

I spent way too much on my Armorz glass screen protector, but it fits perfectly and is really thin. good quality and feels like iphone screen. sturdy and slick. some finger printing but wipes off with ease. no problems with adhering except for the corner where I kinda messed it up. not super noticeable but still upsetting given the price. -__-

Quick update: I ditched the glas.t protector and have gone back to a simple anti glare one, branded Nillkin this time.
I hate the foggy effect on whites, but I love having no fingerprints at all, not having to clean it every two seconds, and not having to deal with several points where the micro bubbles never went away.
Furthermore, I found a slice on the glass protector that seems to have the coating worn off (it came that way, I just realised it was there the day after I put it on), and that slice is prone to be the dirtiest on the whole surface.
I tried to wash it with soap, dish soap, alcohol, nothing works.
I took it off and put it on so many times (after the first time there were always one or two micro dust particles that managed to get under there, and you often you only see them in full sunlight) that the lower right corner would bend a little so that it didn't stick as well as before.
Add to that the WEIGHT of the thing (about 45 grams) and the added .4mm (seems nothing, but they're A LOT on a 6.5mm thin device), I eventually took it off and replaced it and will stay with my plain screen protectors for the entire device life.

Yeah after just a few hours I decided to remove the glass protector. It just doesn't stick to the corners and edges properly. And the screen feels a bit unresponsive. I just replaced it with a regular matte protector I have as a backup and it feels so much better. Sigh. I wasted 50 bucks in that glass protector. Sometimes I feel like I made a bad decision getting the XZU having to think of all this protection crap. I never ever needed to put anything on my other devices before and those are still looking fine.

[Q] Screen Protectors for Xperia Z Ultra

I am looking to find the most high quality option when it comes to screen protectors for the Ultra.
I have tried the Muvit protector - but it isn't the best quality I've seen - and it got a little scratch in the application process.
I was wondering if anyone has tried the Stealth Extreme R from Armorz without having first taken off the shatter proof film?
Wondering how it fits on the device, how it affects the weight - and generally how high quality the protector actually is and if it is worth the extra $50.
I am not interested in trying to remove the shatter proof film after reading people's experiences.
Not sure if it'll help you, but there are quite a number of "reviews" on it on Youtube.

I have the Armorz Stealth Extreme R tempered glass protector. Its actually pretty good quality. If you have never put on a glass screen protector before, it might be a little tricky. I put mine on without water, and paid the price when trying to reposition it. the bottom corner is lifted from when i tried to pry it up and move it. I did apply a back glass using the water method, and it took longer to get the bubbles completely out, but came out pretty clean.
I did not remove the anti shatter film on either side, and have not seen any loss in touch sensitivity.
one thing i did notice is that, it added a little bit of weight, but also gave the phone better rigidity when used without the case. some people have mentioned the phone twisting in their pocket, and i have yet to experience any twisting whats so ever.
not sure if the price has gone up, but i ordered mine for 39$ on amazon. hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the insight!
So why do you think doing it dry caused a problem? Is the adhesive very strong? I figured it would just pull right off.
Do you have any bubbles or blemishes on the front?

it's a silicone based adhesive. peels off fairly easy but keeps a strong bond. when I pryed the corner up, I pushed part of the adhesive so it clumped up and now won't lay flat. if you spray it down with water, you'll be able to slide it into place with out having to lift.
it looks like a large are in the picture but it really isn't noticeable. the backside went on with water without any issues. sucks that the back glass cost me 13$ and the front cost me 3 times that much only to have that messed up corner. you live and you learn. Lol

... Is that crap made out of Gorilla glass? Good god, that's a screen protector. None of this "Clear film" BS where if there's an Airbubble you just ruined a purchase, oh no, this is quite literally just another screen slapped on top.
What does it do to the thickness of the thing? My concern mainly is with cases like Sony's Battery case that kind of only work with just exactly how thick it is.
Not sure if it's really gorilla glass but no scratches so far from things that would scratch plastic protectors. It is pretty thin I can't say for the case but its under 1mm thick.
Does anyone know this?

Not sure if it's been discussed here before but I just applied the most amazing screen protector I've ever use on any phone. It's called ILLumiShield and they sell it on Amazon and eBay for a reasonable price and is absolutely fantastic it's so easy to put on bubble free, feels like glass even over the the crap protector Sony puts on. I highly recommended and no I don't work for them hehe

I found this issue to be greatly improved with the iLLumiShield screen protector. But it was definitely more of an issue with the cheaper screen protectors. You also might want to go to settings/sounds and uncheck vibrate on touch. I feel like this improve my touch sensitivity.

Turned off vibrate on touch and it seems a bit more more responsive in some areas, even though it probably is placebo. I have an iShieldz screen protector (similar to Zagg) and noticed that it wouldn't respond when I tap the screen sometimes. Though, I think that's the way I tap the screen, edge of finger vs finger.

Thanks for the tip. Just bought one. Been wanting a protection like that for my phone ever since removing the factory protector. The phone is a fingerprint magnet without the ASF. However found it for $16 and free shipping to Sweden (only front protection though, don't need it for the back).

I applied Glass-M screen protectors on both the front and back of my phone yesterday, and have been very happy with it so far. It's added a little weight, but it feels sturdier and more premium than before, and looks better than the plastic screen protector I had previously. The touch is also a lot smoother than the plastic one, which was a bit rubbery. I installed mine on top of the ASF, both front and back, since I didn't want the "harrowing" experience of removing it. I feel like it's protected well enough to do without a case, though I may get a slim one to cover the edges of the phone as well. Highly recommended. :good:
GlassM is horrible??

I will send you the links to the images!!
Received my GlassM this week, applied it yesterday. For whatever the reason, there is now, after 12 hours of use, a 10cm large, deep scratch (no, it's not dust, polished few times). Over the first night, the screen got the crack though. This morning I've noticed the deep scratch.
Yesterday evening, just sliding over my wooden table, impressed of its smooth, I notived two smaller light scratches. I thought so, "ok thats not really your truth, GlassM", but now it's really enough.
GlassM's support does not reply to my support request unfortunately.
Can someone recommend other Glass-protectors for my beloved ZU?

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.

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.

Picture please?? How well does it fit on the sides? Does it adhere to the entire screen or just the top and bottom? Link?

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?

There's a cut on the bottom for the speaker. As far as fit, still haven't received the phone from Unlocked Mobiles. Taking a long time to get the chrome one I ordered the beginning of May. Post about my experience when I receive it.

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.

If I don't have better luck with mine I'll do without or try a different brand.
I bought the official Sony Style cover. Reckon I need a screen protector as well?

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.

I'll try to get a picture up soon!
I'll probably regret doing this but I'm gonna use the XZP naked...Right now I have nothing on my Z5P and it feels so damn nice
I have the Roxfit Tempered Glass and the Roxfit Ultra Slim Soft Shell Case on my XZ Premium.
I like them both but The Roxfit Tempered Glass is a fingerprint magnet which is a bit of a pain sometimes.
close up picture of the Roxit tempered glass - agree it can be a fingerprint/ finger oils magnet! But I presume the normal screen would be too?

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?

Had it on since day one - and so far hopefully you can see from the photos it does not gather any dust as yet..

OK, thanks. What screen protector did you get? Would you recommend it?

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.
Just popped into a shop and saw the chrome - omg - defo my next phone. Used to have a Z1 and had front and rear glass protectors and think the same would be a good idea - not a fan of cases. Anyone seen any rear glass protectors?

Puregear Screen Protector - Fits like a glove

First time for me to use a screen protector. I've used the factory ones on my previous OP devices (6T, 6, 5T, 3). The 6T screen protector appears to be utter crap. After one month of normal usage it not only developed a few small bubbles but also a nice tear in it right over the keyboard making it a downright nuance to use. I could deal with the bubbles but the tear in it was the catalyst to get rid of it. Iit was like a zit and was rough to run your finger over while using keyboard. No bueno.
So I dug around a few threads didn't see much success. Poor fitment. Poor seller. Rainbow effects. etc. etc. etc.
Decided to make a trip to my local T-Mobile store. Bought the Puregear unit they had in stock. It's a bit pricey $39.99+tax but fits like a glove. Screen looks nice. The stock case fits over it without anything obvious protruding.
Other than cost cannot complain. Weird it's not listed on Puregear's website...
EDIT: Edited as I got a second camera to take the photos of it on the OnePlus 6T.
So is it slightly wider than the screen? Cause it looks very similar to the Nillkin which is only 10 bucks.
I think it lines up well with the screen. For some reason the last photo I put up isn't showing so I"ll throw it here.
Upon further inspection, there may be a faint rainbow effect actually on the edges.

So it's the same as the Nillkin. I will stay with my 10 dollar protector.

Go to my post 294 for some tips. Make sure you align it perfectly. There is really no room for error on the sides.

The puregear doesn't do it that badly and not near the top. It's on the sides near the middle and minimal at best.

The top and bottom of the Nillkin are perfect it's just the sides that are not forgiving it skewed to one side. If you align it as close to perfect you will be happy with it.

:good::good:
You win some you lose some. Opted to pay for easy return and easy testing. I use the phone enough that I didn't want to wait thanks to the stock one getting messed up badly.
Now, I need to find one for the OnePlus 6 (not the 6T). My wife wants one for her device. Any recommendations on that front?

Don't have a 6 but Nillkin I think makes one for the 6 too.
By the way if you are happy with yours that's all that matters. I was real close on buying the Puregear. If the Nillkin did not work out I would of bought it too.
I went with the official op6t tempered glass protector. Works great perfect fit.

Thanks a lot it seems like the best choice after the PureGear one
I just picked up a Puregrear today and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. The install was fine and adheres smoothly without any bubbles. But it's slightly too narrow. It fits well on the top and bottom but on both sides there is a sliver of visible screen that is not covered by the glass. It's not all that noticeable if looking directly dead on, but if the phone is even slightly angled you see thick line across the screen and it's a little annoying.

Exactly what I said. It's no different than dozens of protectors on Amazon for under $10 in that regard. Totally not worth it

I also just applied a Puregear and have a small strip on the right side of the screen that isn't covered, but on the left side it lined up. I had also ordered and returned the XtremeGuard TGSP because it didn't cover the entire screen, and the Puregear does significantly better despite not quite covering everything.
Overall, I really like the look and feel of the glass compared the preapplied protector, and I don't notice the uncovered part unless I look for it. I'll keep it for now, but if I needed a new protector I'd probably try the official OP glass or whatever else is performing well for other folks here.
FWIW, I was able to use a coupon code to get a $10 discount when I ordered it from their website, so at least I didn't pay full price.
