Newplus. Excellent screen protector. Thinnest glass protector currently available now. Exact fit. Tested with forks scratching it and no problems. Not even hairline scratches. One huge plus is it's easier to apply, got some dust under it? Lift it up and remove dust.

Afterwards get the d30 case. Looks to be good. I haven't gotten one yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] canta4dit:
It's the spigen neo hybrid.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
The best is hard to say. Look through this thread to see reviews and decide for yourself. I got the iloome and I'm happy with it so far. It does have straight edges so if you use it without a case you have to think about that if you have a case on it than its great. I use it with the otterbox commuter and it all works well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wolfkorn:
are there any of these glass protectors a privacy glass, that the screen is only visible from direct view?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sho51:
Does anyone have photos of the NewPlus screen protector applied to the s4? I'm wondering what the top and bottom cutouts look like (their website seems pretty unclear about exactly what it looks like).
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] smckdwn989:
after hearing all of the positive feedback from MIME's offering, I decided to go with that over the Spigen (despite owning 3 difference cases for the S4 from them). For me the reassurance of fantastic customer service was the tie-breaker.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] holla420:
I would say the spigen glass tr is the best ive ordered one yesterday :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ponts:
I just received my Mime glass protectors today and aluminum button and installed on my i9500. I bought an extra one for my i337m. It came to me in Canada in the black box with all the goodies. Absolutely love it! Top rate fit and finish. I will never go back to a plastic protector again. For less than the price of a Zagg HD at my local Bestbuy there is no comparison. Nothing and I mean nothing bits the feel of polished glass on your fingers. Looking forward to Mime releasing the HTC one protector soon. Thanks Mime!!!!!! :D

BTW I'm using an Otterbox Commuter and it fits perfect!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] swaser18t:
Did you do the install while the case was on to get the fitment? Got the same case just ordered the mime
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Jonnyredcorn:
I just ordered my s4 yesterday. Think I'm gonna stick with the SPG Ultra-Crystal protector I've had on my gs3. Doesn't change the feel of the screen and has held up very well over the past year. $6.99 vs $34.99 for the t.r.

Now to just decide on a case...I've used Otterbox Commuter's on my i777 and i747 but was thinking of changing it up...just haven't heard great reviews of the slim armor(which I think look great but I've read of some button feedback issues etc.)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JawjaBill:
Sent the Glas.t back and kept the iloome. Don't remember why but it took Spigen 3 days to get back to me with an RMA.

I have followed these steps with almost every protector install, flappy plastic and tempered. Moved everything to a well

steamed bathroom. Clean screen with something antibacterial. Use Scotch packaging tape to lift everything up and off the

screen a few times. Cheap packaging tape leaves sticky residue and you have to go for the Goo Gone or something similar.

Then follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Install aftermath.

Has anyone attempted a wet install of a glass screen protector?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ThugosaurusRex:
Why :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RTbar:
Easier to align
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ThugosaurusRex:
In all honesty, the glass protectors are super easy to align. And wouldn't it ruin the adhesive?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thatg:
I did a wet with the iloome. Came out fine. The company has great customer service. However the sides of the screen protector are very sharp so I would not recommend this one without a case covering the sides.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Just want to FYI that glass screen protectors are not at all designed for wet install. If you do a wet install on one of these screen protectors you could easily ruin the adhesive as well as having it not apply properly or distort the image quality. Please make sure to follow the exact instructions as they came on the package and do not try to substitute your own or you are basically voiding the warranty on your screen protector. Just a friendly FYI/reminder.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ThugosaurusRex:
+1 That's exactly what I was thinking.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lulabby:
Just installed spigen t.r on my phone, took bloody about 20 times to apply and re-apply to get all the dusts out by tape. Luckily all dusts are gone and the adhensive is still there, at the end all good.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RTbar:
so doing a wet install did not affect the protector's ability to adhere to the screen in any way?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lare01:
So the best way to protect the screen and keep the high definition of the screen and the feel of your fingers on the screen is a tempered glass?

Or are there some good standard screen protectors? Like the Brando one?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] C-killa:
the 12$ one is from them http://www.kawintape.com/product/html/?32.html

seems legit from the pics
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
There are good plastic screen protectors but even the best doesn't compare to glass. The only down sides is the added thickness and having to use a thick sticker for the home button. The added thickness isn't noticeable after a little while especially with a case on it, you barely notice.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Netuser:
I need to get a screen protector and I am leaning towards glass one as I like the smooth touch of my phone and don't want to put the classic screen protector as they are not smooth to touch (at least the one I used).

Now I am confused about Spigen Galaxy S4 Screen Protector GLAS.t SLIM Premium Tempered Glass, there are 2 the new one say 28% slimmer but when I look the in the description it is 0.4 mm which is in fact thicker then the older one which is 0.28 mm. What am I missing ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] irishrally:
Has anyone tried any of the black screen protectors? I'm going to want to cover up the Samsung logo on the front.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lare01:
The one from Dealextreme it's good enough? It costs half than the others..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] C-killa:
I dont whether it's good enough but these pics are on manufacturer website

heres a video of the same Glass Screen Protectors for the iphone

Someone know a european company ( or a company that ships from a european state) that sells on of theese products?

Because I don't want custom issues and I need a fast shipment...

I'd like obviusly to spent as little as possible..

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Proweedsmoker:
I went with the spigen tr slim and a tpu case from cruizer light. 1 week of use, the glass is losing its stickyness in the corners, and around cutous. Ima give a thumbs down for a 37 dollar screen protector peeling after 1 week of use and we all know their CS is crap, so I consider it a 37 dollar lose.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
After a while of using the iloome I have noticed that the auto lighting doesn't work so well. It stays bright most of the time. Doesn't darken that much. Anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GrapeBandit:

Oh hi there! Welcome to XDA iLoome support. :)

Small question: Are you guys planning any new version of the Galaxy S4 glass screen protector with rounded edges?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] iloomeOfficial:
Yes, we are definitely looking into the possibility! We are constantly listening to our customers and their feedback, and we want to keep on improving both our products and customer service so that we can serve our customers better. Thanks to our wonderful customers' feedback, we will bring out ScreenMate product for the GS4 with rounded edges in the near future, but it may take some time before it becomes available.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thacounty:
How about an XDA coupon?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] iloomeOfficial:
How about a resounding YES?

Hang tight, we'll post something up tomorrow :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JawjaBill:
Update: Removed the iloome and reapplied to correct centering as seen in 3rd pic above. It is an absolute dream on fingerprints in this hot, humid, dirty South. It is cased in an Otterbox Commuter and you cannot tell it is installed unless you look closely at the front speaker cutout. The home button sticker sucks but this protector is thin enough that you don't really need one. I have an aluminum one on order but have become used to the feel of the slight depression without it and it is not a real issue to me. No further issues to report.

Does iLoome offer the aluminum home buttons like some of the other glass protectors?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Unfortunately not, I bought the aluminum ones from Spigen. (I don't like Jelly buttons)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
I tell ya, I'm really torn. Spigen, MIME, iLoome....all three seem really good, and based on what I've read and seen on here, all three have pretty good service and are helpful if you screw up. *sigh*
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thacounty:
iloome at 15% off with free shipping an no tax makes it a no brainer right now. They also have CS that is lurking in this thread in case something goes wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
That's what I'm leaning toward, but then I have to go buy my aluminum home buttons separately from Spigen, which negates my coupon. If I go MIME, I can get the rounded edges that I'd get with the more expensive GLAS.tR, and they have a coupon that gets you the aluminum buttons for a dollar. No tax for me and shipping is only $3. Comes out about $4 more than iLoome.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ThugosaurusRex:
Mime also offers the aluminum button for a lot cheaper than spigen
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thacounty:
If only there were better options for home buttons...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] killerxmic:
Just got my MIME glass protector today! Unfortunately the USPS guy dropped the box. Figure it would be fine and didn't see a teeny tiny fracture as I was putting it on. I thought it was a piece of dust, but as I laid it on my phone it became more clear!

Other than that mishap this is a very nice protector. It doesn't cover any sensors or the camera. Feels so nice on my phone.

hopefully I can get a replacement.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I have to say iloome has the best customer service I have seen in a very long time. I think it actually may be the best.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] irishrally:
I'm trying to decide between these 3 too. Iloome, 0.26mm, is the thinnest, covers everything but the earpiece up top, but does not have rounded edges. MIME, 0.32mm, has rounded edges and has a cheap option for an Aluminum button. Spigen, 0.40mm, has rounded edges and is the only one that comes with a back protector for those going the naked route. Illoome and MIME seem to have the best customer service and MIME clearly states a 40% discount if you break the first protector and need a second. Decisons decisions.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
I hear ya. I don't think I'd go for the thicker one from Spigen. For a much cheaper price, I can get the MIME and get the rounded edges. Of course, I'm getting a case, so the back protector isn't a factor like it might be for you. For me, it's Spigen GLAS.t (thinnest), iLoome (lowest price with the coupon this weekend, even if I spent another $10 on buttons from Spigen), or MIME (rounded edges).

It's a toss-up and it's probably a no-lose situation. I am thinking it might be worth a few more bucks to go MIME for the rounded edges, but the customer service, as mentioned, definitely helps me lean toward it or iLoome.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] irishrally:
Yeah I was leaning towards iloome first because l like the look of the the way it covers everything but the speaker up top but now I'm leaning towards MIME for the rounded edges since I will probably end up using the phone without a case about half the time.

The price difference between MIME and Spigen is only about $3 when you take in to account shipping, free for Spigen and ~$3 for MIME.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chvybeatsford:
Thanks for this post.. Just ordered Spigen GLAS.t SLIM .. also rite now when ordering it gives 50% off for the alumin buttons. Got both shipped for $32. My only goal in this is to stop scratches. this should help.

So i ordered the sense+ and im loving it, two things though..

The top of the protector goes over 1/4 of the front facing camera so now the bottom of the pictures are blurred

The protector is kinda thick (this is the only tempered glass screen protector I've seen so i don't know what the others are like) my home button feels slightly lower than the screen protector and it's just a tad annoying..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
When i got when i had sense+ it had small air bubbles on the right side in a straight vertical line pretty much top to bottom

I returned it and got an iloome and am very satisfied with it

Sense+ sent me a replacement and my girlfriend uses it and those same bubbles showed up and i got most of them out with a skinomi squeegee but one just wont go away so im hoping after a day or so it will disappear :(

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MrPlNK:
Dude mine had the same thing!!!

Perfect vertical line on the right side closr to the edge.. I just took a pen and basically drew up and down on it and i got it to go away..

The camera thing is bugging me.. I dont suppose I can cut and modify the top of it? Its literally like 2mm MAX over the camera..

Dremel?

Or is there a way to take it off and reapply it, if i could move it down just a hair, itll be perfect

MIME with Slim Armor

I received my second MIME glass screen protector, the first had a fault in it and i received a free replacement!

Truly there service is excellent!

I am very content with it :)

I use it with a Slim Armor Red case together with the black aluminum home button! I looks sick!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DrawnToLife:
After lurking pretty much this entire thread, I've pretty much narrowed in on iloome, MIME and Spigen. Granted, I'm from Canada, so I don't know how, if at all, free shipping would work. In the beginning, I was really leaning towards Spigen, then iloome, now MIME. However, I was wondering how the iloome screen protector (if it does at all) affects the sensors, given that it covers all of them.. Given that Spigen and iloome both cover the front camera, I don't really think that it should be of issue (and would rather not end up half covering it as I've seen many times with the MIME).

So I guess my questions are:

1) Has MIME provided more camera wiggle room yet, or is it still a bit difficult to apply?

2) How does covering the front camera affect the quality of the images?

3) Does covering the other sensors have any negative effects on their functionality, or are the differences negligible?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ChadBFlores:
i feel like spigan is the best in terms of fitting (especially around the home button), but customer service is a little better with MIME.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DrawnToLife:
I'd actually want to go with MIME, it's just the whole camera issue scares me a lot..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
On the iloome, I tested the sensors function with androsensor app somewhere in this thread and the results were fine. And the covered camera is as clear as without the sp on. Only thing i wished is for rounded edges for when i have a naked phone but when i use case for work its not noticeable.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] exhardy:
I've got my MIME protector just today, which I ordered last week(international shipping takes very long :silly:)

Unfortunately the MIME glass seems cut out very tightly which adds difficulties to align the protector correctly,

The protector has to be positioned a little bit off center (using the home button as reference) to the lower side,

then it wont block the front facing camera.

Actually i liked this design because other protectors covered the camera, which creates extra flare when light shine on the glass. (happens on my last Spigen Glas.tR and maybe others?)

and the extra aluminium home button look very nice :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] irishrally:
Does the MIME SP have round edges around the home button as well?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DrawnToLife:
Ah, but I assume you got it on correctly then?

I guess I could look at covering the camera as almost a clear glass filter (which I use from time to time on my camera)? Hmm.. how noticeable was the flaring? And since you had both a covered camera and a non-covered camera, aside from the flaring, did you notice any color loss/washed out tones?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] exhardy:
Yes, I got the protector on correctly :D

For the flaring issue on the Spigen one, because of the glass doesn't have anything to cover the sides to block the light and sticks out, which causes internal reflection (I don't really know if that's correct) and creates flare, and the flare depends on how strong and the angle of the light was, if it's strong and from straightly up, it can be very severe, but you can use your hand as a hood, just like on camera, to eliminate the flare. :laugh:

I will try to shoot some photo with my friend's phone (which got the GLASt.r from spigen) to illustrate the problem.

I didn't notice any color loss of using the spigen one, expect on the flare issue, which when it happens, the picture seems washed out.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DrawnToLife:
Oh, that makes sense. Do you think a case would prevent enough light? The amount of pictures/videos that I've watched with a messed up MIME. :/ it hurts .

Thanks for the help though :D I think I'm leaning towards MIME or iloome now. I don't really need the rounded corners, spigen is a bit pricy, and assuming the flare issue isn't too severe, I think I could make do with it. And I kind of like now the almost full glass looks..

The 15% discount is very tempting right now.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
I decided to go for MIME. I was amazed to see that after placing my order late last night, my order already shipped today.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
Its sunday so it hasn't actually shipped. Shipping label created is all. I had a place, nothing to do with phones, but they created a shipping label and 2 weeks later still never shipped it. so I canceled and went somewhere else.
