Anyone try the proglass screen protector advertised on TV? They are advertised for $10 plus $5 s&h. If you buy a second one shipping is free. They demostrate hitting it with a hammer and scratching it with a knife. I looked for reviews but couldn't find any.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bluebellrose:
any difference between the dealextreme versions and the zagg versions of tempered glass protectors? I found one by gnarlyfish from bell [MENTION=4328568]14.[/MENTION]99

this any good? offered by bell canada lol. Can't post links atm so yeah.

Doesn't seem expensive compared to what zagg wants 45 bucks for one! They do offer free replacements and I seemed to have managed to drop my s3 so many times it's not even funny. so maybe free replacements with an install fee be a better idea? Dealextreme already charges you 5 bucks for one and you have to wait for it to ship.

doesn't seem that thick

Or don't cheap out and spend 45 bucks for one?

Reviving thread.

I just wanted to weigh in and say: You can get glass protectors on ebay for as low as $1.82 + free shipping with all the "features" the top dollar brands advertise. If you ask me, I think these US companies buy these in bulk from China, print their own logos and boxes and jack up the prices. I'd also like to point out how some companies offer "lifetime replacement" yet charge you $4 to replace it. That $4 probably goes towards the company bulk ordering 10 more from China, thus profiting even MORE off of you. These are just my speculations, but they seem more than plausible honestly. If someone at a party peeled off your $35 glass protector (without you knowing) and put on a $2 one from eBay, would you even be able to tell the difference? How could you tell?

Although I dont routinely use Smart Scroll, or Airview features I can say that hovering my finger does show pop ups just fine and my browser scrolled just fine with my Spigen .tr glass protector. I have noticed zero loss of sensitivity when using my phone compared to my girlfriends s4 with no screen protector. While I think Spigen's customer service sucks, I can not say enough good things about this screen protector.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
I have just received two e-mails below from iLoome:

I then asked them to cancel my preorder for the Black version since I ordered both if there's no way to still receive the Black version. This is what they said:

So looks like they no longer offer the Black/White thicker versions. I'll be keeping them in the OP just for reference purposes but I will make a note that they aren't available.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] OnYourKnees:
Thanks for adding the price.

Do you think there is any value to adding also if buttons are include and aluminum buttons are available. This is a dealbreaker for me personally.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] se1000:
I don't use airview but don't imagine it would.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] OnYourKnees:
It was between the senseglass+ and the spigen for me. I went with the senseglass+ for the slimness and the oleophobic coating along with the spigen aluminum buttons. I couldnt verify whether or not the spigen had oleophobic or not so I had to pass.

Amazon is delivering both along with my anker battery and charger Tuesday. Ill throw up some pictures when they arrive.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] se1000:
It is oleophobic, it's right on the product webpage

Hmmm. Not sure what Im talking about. I knew it was, thats why I came down to those two. Hopefully the spigen buttons work with the senseglass+. We will see.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] se1000:
Probably will, I'd bet most of these are pretty much the same.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gordec:
Please do soon. I'm thinking about getting it. Also is it dry application?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
Yes definitely dry application. I put it on in the bathroom after I steamed the room with hot water. The senseglas+ doesn't quite cover the whole screen, the edges are not fully covered but it should be fine. Strange streaks are in the center of the protector not sure if these will come out in a day or if I messed up on the application. There is some air bubbles but I want to wait a day or so before I complain since they are small. Posting pics in a bit going to use the girlfriends s4 to take them then ill sbeam them to mine and post to xda... Damn i love this phone
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
Here u go
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gordec:
Looks like wet application.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] michael.s.under:
CHUUZE.

Thanks for the pics. Is that the flush home button?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
Its the spigen aluminum button, id imagine the home button would be harder to push like all the glass screen protectors.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Hey CHUUZE, thank you much for the photos. :good:

Can you confirm that this screen protector does not have the dot-matix? It looks like it doesn't from the photos.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
Correct no dot matrix

Anyone know if there are issues with the NEOHybrid S4 case from Spigen and Glass screen protectors (namely MIME)? Looks like the case goes over the front a little...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SevenD2:
MIME is a 0.4mm glass protector, the neo hybrid s4 case clips onto the front end

Their glass protectors are also 0.4mm so it should fit

Tempered glass may protect more than regular screen protectors (citation needed), but regular screen protectors often do protect against drops:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mahgnillig:
I just installed the Spigen glas.t slim (the thinner, cheaper one, not the glas tr with the rounded edges). Installation was pretty easy, though I did have to use some tape to remove a couple of dust spots from underneath the protector. The feel of it is just like the screen itself... feels like glass! (of course). The fit is good, though it doesn't go completely up to the edges of the phone. My Speck candy shell case fits well with it. The only thing I dislike is the way the glass feels now that the home button is recessed. I didn't use the 'jelly bean' sticker that came with it because I read they are really hard to remove if you need to replace them. I'm now looking for a better solution to the home button problem, preferably without paying $10 for the Spigen one. Sorry Spigen, but even at the reduced rate of $5, that's a lot of money for a half inch piece of aluminum!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
I found out mime sells them for like 2-3 bucks, 1 dollar if purchased with the screen protector but your only get one

Got my Spigen Glas-Tr today, love it. Managed to get one spec of dust under it right at the bottom of the screen but other than that it went on perfect.

http://pcsites.com/ebay/2013-05-13 14.25.43.jpg

Now the plastic sheet they included for the back of the phone, it was soo flimsy I had to re-position it 3 times. This led to much dust and airbubles.

WARNING After I put this on, I popped my bargain cover ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KUN1CS/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) back on and it promptly put pressure on the upper left corner of the glass peeling it up. I yanked the case off, smoothed out the air bubbles and put the case back on being very careful to lift all the edges so they land more on top of the Glas-tr. So be careful with cases and these glass protectors they may push them off instead of holding them down.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Thank you for your review. And I completely agree about the case issue. No guarantees that hard plastic/aluminum/wood cases and ones that are flush to the device as working. The only ones I'm pretty certain you should be okay with are standard TPU/rubber/silicone cases.

Mine didn't end up that badly, but still there is a tiny lint here or there. Wonder if I can get another for free or for a discount.

Not from Spigen they're not. $10 from some seller in China, with free 20-30 days shipping and probably no warranty.

No thanks. I got mine for $15 each and am quite happy with them.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Aerodeath:
I'm using .tR and I wished I've bought .t instead but it's too late now. The thickness is quite significant.

It's my first time using a glass protector and I feel that the light penetration and sensitivity is awesome. However, the swiping movement is slower compared to plastic due to the glass friction.

Is there another good glass protector that swipes smoother than .tr?

Any one else having the same issue with other protectors? Lets see how benks is.

Spigen vs Senseglas+

I've tried the Spigen tR and the Senseglas+ so far I returned the spigen on the account of the application process being troublesome to me and that the amazon picture did not match what I received (Spigen's customer service was the final straw). I contacted Amazon and they changed the picture and let me refund. However, the screen protector felt effing amazing and didn't leave much fingerprints and the smoothness was orgasmic. For senseglas+ the oleophoic coating is garbage and I feel I am continuously wiping my screen everytime I touch it...irrating. I am thinking about seeing if amazon will take it back on the account of that and the weird smudges (not fingerprints but streaks) that show once I touch the screen (looks like the coating didn't go on the whole screen...odd...can't really describe well). I will post pics when I get home from work. I ordered the clear iloome yesturday (0.26mm?!?!?) and I'll see how that goes.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RTbar:
I am considering returning my glas.tr because of the thickness and I was looking at the Iloom because it has the same rounded edges at around half the thickness. Let us know how you like it. It seems like the best of the bunch on paper but I am unsure about the olephobic coating or if the home button is rounded as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
I have the same uncertainty about the rounded edges and olephobic coating since the senseglas+ was such hot garbage...

So with a glass screen protector will my Seidio Surface case still work? The case is very snug and slides on in 2 pieces and wraps around the front covering the silver edge on the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rushco:
Seidio has a tempered glass protector for the GS3 and says it is not compatible with the Surface. Unless someone has tried it the best guess is no it won't work.

Got my 2 MIME Ghost Glass's a couple days ago. The fitment was actually off, but after e-mailing them I found out that this was an issue with a specific piece of glass they had. They are sending me two free replacements. E-mail reply was quick, and they had no problems sending me replacements.

Also I repositioned one of them about 3 or so times (my fault), and it still stuck perfectly to the screen without any bubbles or peeling up. Great quality!

Another side not that the Ghost Glass works perfectly with the Spigen Slim Armor, altho the Spigen case's front lip is a little too short, and leaves the Ghost Glass about even with the lip.

Cant seem to find the rounded edges part on iloom - http://www.amazon.com/iloome-Screen...Oleophobic/dp/B00BX0S7LA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] darrendm:
How do these glass protectors deal with direct impact hits? I dropped my S4 today from around 50cm and it took a direct screen hit with a usb plug lying on the floor and the screen shattered. Would it have been saved if I had been using a glass protector?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] arosadojr87:
From the youtube video's I have seen, it appears that they the glass wouldve protected it...I do not have experience with tempered glass but have seen people hit it light with heavy hammers and it has held up...The glass protector at times cracks but the actual screen of the phone is undamaged and from 50 cm it would've definetly been ok

and so sorry to hear for your hurt s4

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] arosadojr87:
Yea would you be able to tell us if the edges are smoothed or rigid? For example if you run your finger across the glass does it feel very rough at the edges of the protector....Also can you check if the glass is easy to remove and reapply?

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jobiggs:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Ttrain721:
Ok! I have it installed, very easy installation, no bubbles, no imperfections, nothing. The feel, feels as if there's nothing there. Fingerprints aren't left as much and they're easily removed. I have the OT commuter and it fits perfect with no hindrance from the glass.

I originally went with mime because of the unblocked sensors and the customer service, not one regret here. I'd suggest this screen to anyone, it will not let you down.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RandomHandle:
I have a really tight fitting TPU case that wraps around the face a bit. Does the MIME one go all the way to the chrome part?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Ttrain721:
The commuter wraps around as well. I want to say there's a 1/16" of clearance. The screen ends where the rubber of the commuter starts.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Hest88:
This is such a great thread! Thanks all. I've decided on the iLoome as well. I seriously considered the Spigen, but now that I've experienced a bit of that customer service some of you have talked about I'm going to find it hard to buy anything from them again. (Sigh, I wish their stuff wasn't so gorgeous.)

I hope I have better luck installing a glass protector than all the plastic ones I've installed (and had to discard)!

Note I just purchased 2 of the SensGlas+ protectors.

According to the description they are 0.26mm, but they are in fact 0.4mm, the box also claims there is 3 home keys, however there are none in the box.

Just to note.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
They actually had it on their site before they reworked it a few days ago. They had a little icon showing rounded edges and above it saying "anti-chip edges". Not sure why they got rid of it though.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
+1 on the measurement fail

Ok...so after a few days of use here is my review of the SenseGlas+ GLASS-M rounded edged tempered glass:

first off the glass is not 0.26mm it is 0.4mm...the box states that it includes 3 home key stickers...it doesn't. What it does come with come with: glass membrane, full sized dust sticker, cleaning cloth, instructions and removal tool/squeegee. The oleophobic coating is not as "anti-fingerprint" as the description would lead you to believe and for some reason there are streaks that are permanently on the screen protector that will be less visible when the screen is clean but once fingerprints come across the streaks they show vividly. I would not recommend this product due to the misleading box and the "oleophobic coating" being subpar. Authentication number that should be inside the box is not included...not sure if that means the product is not authentic or just a sticker was not inserted where it was supposed to be...I did wait for the adhesive to set before reviewing to ensure I give the most accurate review. The good thing about the product: it is very good on touch sensitivity, the price is okay for tempered glass, it does feel like it would protect the screen from a drop, the cutouts are good, application is somewhat easier than my previous experience with Spigen SGP tR. Hope I have better luck (third time's a charm) on the iloome.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flyingwolf:
I forgot to mention as well that I have no authentication number either, just a spot for it in both boxes. Perhaps these are knockoffs? Either way I will be requesting a refund via amazon for significantly not as advertised.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Now that's what I call poor quality control! Very disappointed to hear this. Just goes to show you that not all tempered glass screen protectors are made alike.

EDIT: CHUUZE. You and flyingwolf should leave these reviews on Amazon as well so the product is more accurately rated. I don't think it deserves the 4 star average it has now according to both your issues. Maybe if the manufacturer notices they'll make a proper change.
