Got the Verizon tempered glass protector and love it. It's buttery smooth and somewhat resistant to smudges and prints but you can wipe it down with almost any kind of cloth and it shines again.
Galaxy S5: Tempered glass screen protectors?

I picked up Zagg's Glass protector yesterday. Install was a breeze and I love it. It actually has better fingerprint repelling than the actual screen. No weird haze effect, etc. It's crystal clear. I highly recommend it.

Well said about the Zagg Glass. I really like that it has excellent fingerprint repelling than the actual screen. First thing I noticed after installing it was how less dirty my screen looked!

It's incredibly easy. Comes with an alcohol wipe and a soft cloth to remove any residual lint. I did it in the shower with it steamed up. Wipe it off with the wipe, run the cloth through once or twice and check for anything left on the screen and then apply the protector. I did it in about 5 min and it's perfectly aligned with nothing caught underneath.

With the glass protector, the whole "no case for 24-48 hours is pointless. It doesnt install the way the original Zagg does. I am surprised the guy told you this.
Yeah, I quickly abandoned that. Stuck a case back on later that night. Still loving my screen protector!

I'll see how it goes. Good price though.

Bought and installed the luvvit one. This is my first one so I don't know how it compares to spigen but its pretty decent. Does anyone else notice a bit of the rainbow effect when viewing it from the side?

I found it very easy. I used to struggle to get the flexible plastic screen protectors on straight and without bubbles and was never as successful as I wanted. The Aerb glass protector is much stiffer and easier to hold and align. My technique was to center the cutout for the home button exactly around the button itself. Then just drop the upper part of the glass into place, making sure the distance between the glass and the bezel on each side was the same.
Good cleaning in a dust free environment is still important. I did end up with three very small dust particles, but they are almost invisible so I am ignoring them.
So you just align it, drop one side of the screen protector on one end, and drop the other end on it and that's it?
I would personally recommend the hinge method. Worked perfectly for me. Guide: Perfect Screen Protector Installation Technique - xda-developers
Well it worked just fine for my glass one. I guess it's less necessary because they're so rigid, but I don't always have the steadiest hands.

Before I removed the film from the glass protector, I experimented with positioning it on the phone to make sure the fit was exactly right with the hole for the power button exactly centered around the button itself. It was.
I removed the film from the back of the protector and touched the bottom edge of the protector along the bottom edge of the phone, making sure that the home button hole was exactly centered around the button. Then I slowly lowered swiveled the protector down until the top touched, making sure that the distance between the screen protector and the phone bezel was equal on each side. I could see the protector sealing itself to the phone down the middle. As an encouragement, I lightly ran my finger down the middle of the protector.
Since the glass protector is stiff and doesn't flex like the plastic protectors, there was no problem with it slipping, folding, or stretching while I was working with it. The glass protector was an absolute delight compared to anything I had struggled with before.
I don't have the specifics but it's very thin and adds almost nothing to the screen.
Since someone posted pictures of the Zagg on the phone, I figured I'd do the same for the Luvvitt version.
