Note 5 Best Tempered Glass Screen Protectors?

[billykac]

I just installed JETech glass screen protector yesterday and no halo at all, guess I got lucky!!

Happy to hear that this worked out for you. If you look at the reviews on Amazon, there's plenty of evidence that others have the halo issue. Maybe there are differences in the cut?

I'm using the Zagg tempered glass on my Note 5 that I picked up at Verizon the day I got it. It's been great!

Too bad this is not available for phones other than the iphone

In looking at all of these, I am starting to think that all of these screen protectors are made by like 3 manufacturers and just sold by everybody.

I just came back from Best Buy and a sales person tried to install the Zagg. He tried 2 times with 2 different ones and they both had the halo issue.

Not perfect but,good enough for me. Btw, sorry picture quality isn't the best, it was taken with a phone that I paid $25 (no contract) for. This is the skinomi /iq shield. Both are identical other than branding.

The iSmooth one seems good. It's more on the expensive side but it seems to be the best one on amazon so far

I got this and terrible in several ways:

1. No installation video for the Note 5. Not even a selection to choose on the ismooth website for the Note 5.

2. Customer Service is horrible. They include a card with the product that touts how they want you to be 100% satisfied, so when I called them that there was no installation video, I got their voicemail and they never called me back.

3. Dust bubbles are inevitable no matter how hard you try.

4. MAJOR halo around the edges.

Now granted, had their been an actual installation video #3 and 4 could be moot.

But overall I'm chalking this up as a $16 loss as I will look for another brand.

I got a Bodyguardz Screengaurdz Pure from my local AT&T store when I bought my Note 5. Stupid expensive, but SUPER nice, zero halo and lifetime warranty. Very easy install. I would definitely recommend it. Probably find it a lot cheaper than I paid online somewhere.

I bought from Amazon Jetech for $7
Tempered Glasscrean
It's feels great but I have the halo effect.
I will keep it for now. Does not bother me that much to spend $34 or more for a single glass screen yet Lol

The one I listed has none of that. It's nice.

Please post some pictures of the Bodyguardz. Did it have the Express Align tray?

Carl, is this the one you got ?

Yes. The one that Carlo posted is the one I got. It's my first tempered glass screen protector so I don't have anything to compare to, but it has zero halo around the edges and is super smooth. And very easy to put on. It comes with a suction cup and cloth for install. I paid $45 for mine and don't regret it.

I tried all of these on several different devices and mostly I was happy. Hope they will be good also for the Note 5

I just installed one of the Skinomi Tech Glass mentioned above and it mounted with absolutely no Halo around the edges. Easy to install, very smooth surface for the S pen to glide over. I would certainly purchase again.

Just to let you know, it is lifetime warranty, but only for manufacturers defects. Should it get broken, you would need to pay around $16 to get a replacement from bodyguardz

Tried the Olixar Screen protector and that definately had a halo. The protector actually cracked after just one week. I think the raised edge exposes it to more damage. Replaced it with a GorillaTech protector and that was even worse.

I have a hard time using the glass protectors as my sunglasses are polarized and it gets all funky.
