    Tempered glass screen protectors

    I've just bought a tempered screen protector for my Z1 and it's completely transformed the usability of the device. It's amazing to have it feel as though I'm using the glass rather than a plastic top on it and knowing that it's just a protector that's getting scratched. Screen feels more responsive too.

    Does anyone else use a tempered glass screen protector, or something similar?

    Yep, use one on my Nexus 5 and will be getting one for my Z3 soon. I like them also.

    I've got a protector on my Galaxy and it's saved the screen from all sorts of punishment - and most of the time I completely forget its there.

    Re: Tempered glass screen protectors

    First thing I bought for my 1+, look brilliant and you honestly don't know it's there. Good peace of mind and the bubbles just push out. I never used a plastic one as you could really notice them.

    I don't think the responsiveness has improved, but it's not noticeably worse

    Re: Tempered glass screen protectors

    The only reason I say it improved on my phone is because the touchscreen is faulty, and a plastic one didn't help I don't think.

    I have been using this particular one for my I Phone 5S http://www.verizonwireless.com/acces...phone-5-5c-5s/ It's pretty good and doesn't effect the touch sensitivity of my phone

    Re: Tempered glass screen protectors

    I have recently got a Z3, can anyone recommend a good brand of glass screen protector? There seem to be a few to choose from.

    I got that for my Z1 and a cheaper one for my OnePlus and the one on the One isn't anywhere near as good.

    Re: Tempered glass screen protectors

    Thats the one I have been looking at on Amazon. Might give that a go then.

    Sorry for late reply, I don't seem to be getting emails when someone has replied.

    Did you replace the Sony Anti-Shatter film with the tempered glass?? Thats what I did and its great...far nicer experience than Sony film (though no Sony logo ).

    Just got the back to replace as it looks like an ice rink
