I always use a screen protector just because it's better safe than sorry and if you compare the costs between having a screen protector and not having one but replacing a new screen, it's a no brainer for which one to choose.

What are you cleaning your screen with? and wiping it down with?

Google "Motorola screen repair shops" and the go onto Google Maps. See if there are any businesses near you that do the repair and then just check out their sites. I do this whenever I've smashed my screen and it works out way, way cheaper than $189. Oh yeah, and then buy a screen protector haha

I can see why people think that having a screen protector is unnecessary with the technology that is put into the glass on the phones. However, for a small investment to keep the screen from scratching or smashing I think it's worth it. The worst thing that can happen is that you get added...

In my experience I'd favour the Zagg. Nether of them have any real drag issues - I just prefer how Zagg feels.

When I smashed my screen I was told it would cost ?150 on the insurance to repair. So rather than getting bent over I just searched "Nexus 5 Screen repair shops" in Google and when onto Google Maps to see where the closest repair shop was. After checking out a few of the guys sites I dropped it...

If you have a screen protector on, glass or otherwise, it still can be scratched. But you just replace the screen protector if it gets scratched - instead of having to get a new screen which can be quite pricey.

After reading quite a few posts and threads on this forum I've seen a lot of users talk about the benefits of glass screen protectors. Do people still use the original plastic screen protectors? Or have they died out?

It sounds like they're saying it will add protection against scratches but isn't an impact protector so the shock might shatter the protector. And the "Soft Drop" doesn't really define how high that it. So I wouldn't recommend throwing it around haha

What was the screen size? Down to millimeters if possible?

Re: Tempered glass screen protectors? I couldn't agree with you more! I got quoted ?150 to repair an iPhone screen ages ago but my insurance company - it's just a rip off. For the small amount you pay out on a protector it's so worth it in the long run.

Did you get a guarantee?

Hi Johnny, Did the protector come with any sort of guarantee? If you sent them an email or called them up they might be able to help you out. That's what we usually do anyway. Oliver

If applying it puts you off check out some of these blogs for some tips. Blog - How to apply a screen protector in 5 minutes, or less. And for bubble issues Blog - Bubble Trouble? Let's Seek & Destroy... Hope this helps.

What screen protector was it? By the sounds of it it doesn't sound like it was a good one. Maybe that's the reason for your bad experience?
