Its a film (I believe). Its not actual glass so the texture and feel isn't going to be as good as Glass. Zagg claims it to be a glass like film but that's not glass.

So, I got myself a tempered glass protector.

Only paid ?5 for one off eBay to see what the fuss was about.

Really pleased with it tbf, don't really need to spend anymore in buying another.

Eclipse2K, post a couple of pictures showing the Zagg Glass on your phone.

Just purchased one at Best Buy and will try for a perfect install later tonight after I peel off the Spigen.

if you already paid $40 for the zagg glass, might as well pay the extra $7.99 more for the install......

plus if you save receipt or put on best buy reward zone account (so its saved), they will do free re-installs if you need it

I'm ready to throw away the $35.00 Spigen over one speck under the glass.
I can only imagine what quality install the Best Buy counter monkeys could pull off.

And since you paid for the service if they mess up make them put another one on.

I'd love to but I don't have it on anymore. I had to have my device replaced and I just got the replacement Zagg in the mail. However, I used this opportunity to try the Verizon branded Tempered Glass and its great. So far I can't tell much of a difference between the two in terms of fingerprint resistance and quality. Only time will tell and I'll use my Zagg when necessary. Don't want to waste my $20.

I did not want to put out the full Spigen or Zagg cost for a glass to try. The Spigen case I bought before I got the phone came with a normal protector - I goofed up with application and had bad bubbles. Searched for one that may be easier to apply but not break the bank. Bought this glass one for $8.95 on Amazon:
iCarez? for Samsung Galaxy S5 [Tempered Glass] Screen Protector Highest Quality Premium Anti-Scratch Bubble-free Reduce Fingerprint No Rainbow Washable Easy Install Product with Lifetime Replacement Warranty [1-Pack,0.33mm,2.5D Rounded Edges] - Retail Packaging 2014
Put it on in a steamy bathroom after a shower but still got a couple of black specks of dust. The air bubble around the specks miraculously disappeared overnight. The specks do not really show so am sticking with it for now. Love the slick feeling when using the screen. Was a bit worried that it may be thick but the screen is just as responsive as when bare. Is crystal clear and seems to repel smudges but if some accumulate is easy to clean off. Happy after over a week.

I believe you got real lucky, but then again what do I know.

Got the Zagg glass, installed myself. So thin! (Surely thinner than Verizon's was for the S4). And smooth as butter!

That looks fantastic, I guess I'm going to have to order one for mine.

I tried a few of those cheap glass screen protectors for my iPhone... Result? Couldn't tell the difference.

I picked up the Zagg Glass at Best Buy and had them install it ( free of charge ) and they did an excellent job. It's very nice and I wish I'd bought it to start with. Anyway I've always had great luck with Best Buy installing screen protectors.

Went with iCarez. So worth saving the money. Heres the review that convinced me and fyi, feels just as good as my friends Zagg. Just my 2 cents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwllO4n1BY4
