Skinomi is a little bit thicker, so has more chance of orange peel and had a little bit of drag on my finger swipes. (Nit picking, it is slight)
I found skinomi to be better than zagg, although I've had a few skinomis that had a speckled glitter effect due to an uneven adhesive.
In my opinion, BSE is the best of all these wet skins.

Zagg is just like a piece of colorless orange peel,
I don't know why there are so many people still buying it...

I think they have a good warranty... And they are much better at marketing.
I picked up the Skinomi one. Wish it could get her when my nexus does.
I got one from Skinomi as well. Price got me but they all seem to be the same for me. Maybe I'll see, I'm used to third grade protectors from china lol.
I've had a Skinomi protector on my Sensation 4G for awhile. No peeling, I usually forget its there... don't throw your phone in your pocket with your keys. Turns out the Nexus 4 Skinomi product was already on my wishlist! lol
I have a Skinomi on my T-Mo Galaxy S2 and it is really nice. I have heard good things about Best Skins Ever so I might give them a try when I get my Nexus 4.

Just a heads up for those who bought from Skinomi:
they will be starting to ship anything Nexus 4 related tomorrow (nov 20). I bought a skin set myself.
enter code: get25 for 25% off on anything @ Skinomi. If paying by Paypal please do not use the Paypal link right away on check out because it'll not let you enter the code. Use the regular check out button.
I've bought several from ebay and Amazon, but all are deficient in some ways
I'm still looking for a screen protector that is the correct size, has all the cutouts and stays on for at least 2 months. I don't want an "Invisible shield", as I found them to be too thick, and still got scratched, and they reneged on their "lifetime" warranty, last time I tried to claim.
There are plenty for iphones, galaxy's.
I'm in England, so either Amazon or ebay, that sells internationally.
Best Skins Ever
Skinomi. Mine fits well. It has all of the cut outs. It has been in place for a month without any issues.
Give them a shot.

I myself have ordered the Clarivue ones 2 for 20 dollars they ship to the UK as well and offer both front and back protectors. Saw some pictures of it on the net and they seem good.
I myself got some cheap eBay ones but they don't stick to the edge and lift up on my cases.

The skin that best matches what your looking for is BestSkinsEver. However, I love my SkinomiTech Skin and their customer service is awesome. Its a little bit thick though which I do not have any problem with.
Spigen is the best one especially when you're talking about the back.

I've just left on the factory fitted one and put some extra protection over the camera lens, then I use a white TPU case
Works for me
I have tried 4 different screen protectors and what has worked best for me is the Skinomi Techskin screen protectors. Pretty happy with it as it has all the cutouts and covers the whole screen.

If you are looking for something affordable and great quality try the Xtreme guard. Got front and back protectors for just $4.00. Their customer service is great too. I will most likely get screen protectors from them in the future for other devices.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I found that Xtremeguard was cheap for a reason. The screen protector has a rubber texture and does not feel good when using the device. I'd recommend dry applications as they would feel better.
Spigen has quite the short sides; it will not cover all. Even with a perfect fit, a diztronic case cannot lip over to meet the screen protector. I also think Martin Fields would make great screen protector, although expensive.

The OP is looking for screen protector that has a perfect fit. Only wet application protectors will satisfy this criteria.
The dry app ones will not cover the curves on the front of the phone.
I'd suggest you to go with skinomi or bse. You wont be disappointed.
I guess like many things- cars,steaks, women, computers - cheap and good rarely go together.
I'll try some of these suggestions.

In the UK Vodafone stores have a Zagg machine to apply screen protectors so may see if they support the Priv

Not glass unfortunately. It's polyurethane so probably the next best thing in the regular plastic category. Would love a glass on this phone.

I can't see amazon US or other countries (forced to mobile domain on mobile).
There are currently 2 (one for $6 and another for $7). Probably cheaper on US site.
How these fit - don't know but so far that's all I can find.

I don't think these ones cover the curved display.
Skinomi Blackberry Priv screen protector is a great alternative to glass. I honestly don't mind having it for now until I could find a glass shield that really fits.. IMO, it would be difficult for Manufacturers to come up with glass one due to the curvature of the device.
I'm more amazed that people aren't opting for, you know, a PRIVacy screen protector (I couldn't resist). Acurved glass one to top that would be awesome.
It would only make logical sense this way.
Just tried SupershieldZ works really well. Edge to edge covering.
can someone explain why the glass thing is better?

I have had clear coat (non glass) and black ice (glass) I prefer the feel of glass over the other screen protectors as its smooth the others all have a bit of "sticky" feeling or resistance, glass feels truest to the original screen.
But the main selling point for me on black ice (I sell cell phones) is its scratch proof, I can take keys to it with no issue. Heck I would stab my phone with a scissors to show customers how strong it was. I had 2 screens break with clear coat, falling from table hight or less. I dropped my g3 off the top of an 8foot. Ladder and it hit the ladder on the way down, cracked the black ice, phone was fine. Also black ice has a warranty, if it breaks you get a replacement for 10 bucks.

Tempered glass screen protectors offer a level of protection. I can say from personal experiences that having tempered glass screen protectors on phones my wife and I have both owned saved us from screen replacements due to drops. The screen protector broken before the screen did.

Hello everyone
I have a feeling that these are the best screen protectors on the market (am I wrong? I read hundreds of reviews..)
Of the three I mentioned in the title.. What do you think best screen protector?
Can you also information why? And specify a specific model?
Thanks!!!
TGSP - GPEL Version 2
- If you dont plan on using any case, then this is best option.
Screen protector : BestSkinsever
Case fit version (Glossy/Matte)
- This seems to better than skinomi and IQ Shield.

If you apply tempered glass and then once u put case, it will lift off and well rest will be history.

I would be happy more Comments :highfive:
Interested in this as well. Atm I have a foil that has been manufactured in Germany. Fits the screen perfectly, but doesn't feel as good as glass.
Zagg HD Dry would be my vote. No longer rubbery like they used to be (the one I had on my old Galaxy S2 was terrible), and it feels very much like glass. Also doesn't curl at the edges with a proper fitting cover. Also comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee.
Avoid all the glass protectors on curved screens. It doesn't matter how much they cost, they never fit correctly and raise on the edges resulting in touch screen issues until they're removed. They're a complete waste of money and I'm amazed people still bother with them.

I'm just jumping from the Moto x4 to S9 Plus
My protector option is one from the ************. I really love to have my S9Plus away from the scratches. As I'm having previous experience with the ************so I'm suggesting to get one from them.
They started shipping but I didn't got mine. Have you bought one from them and received it??
I bought the one from BigBen. Fit perfectly. No problem after 1 week. Just improve screen sensitivity.
I just installed the Whitestone Dome Glass on my S9+. Very easy to install and looks great so far. It doesn't seem to be compatible with the Spigen case I bought though, particularly the lower portion, I'm going to let the glue cure a bit longer and try it again.
UPDATE: I had the dome glass installed just a bit too low on the screen. I removed the glass and adhesive, then reinstalled and made sure the dome glass was correctly centered on the screen. Works great with the case now. Highly recommend this.
Bodyguardz is a more expensive option, but lifetime warrenty. I want to say it's about 10 bucks shipping for the warrenty replacements. I got mine at AT&T when I got my s9 plus yesterday. They installed it for me but it comes with a guide thingy like the Whitestone one.

I just received my spigen 360 thin fit today and this is a pretty good screen protector especially when paired with the case. The touch response is good and I don't feel the need tho enable the setting for screen protector under advanced options.

I bought one too, and concur. Fingerprint magnet, and ruins sensitivity. You have to turn on increase sensitivity in the advanced settings, and still it's a bit wonky.

OMYFILM Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Tempered Glass Screen Protector [Bubble Free] [Case Compatible] 9H Hardness Screen Protector for Samsung S9 Plus (S9 Plus, Black)
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-S9-Pl...rotector+for+Samsung+S9+Plus+(S9+Plus,+Black)
Amazon.com link above. $9.00
Got this on Amazon.ca for under $15 CAD, it's curved, applied with zero bubbles and it works really good after raising the screen sensitivity.
Just installed the whitestone dome, I simply couldn't be more impressed. Make sure you watch the installation video a couple of times before applying… but it is hands down the only protector i will be buying from now on for all of my devices.

Otao case friendly
I got the Otao case friendly version for the S9 Plus from Amazon.com (ASIN: B07BSFLLKY). Rather than give a separate review here, this is what I have added as my review on Amazon. I hope this is allowed.
I had the Otao on my S8 and was very happy with it. On one occasion I dropped my phone. The screen protector cracked, which is what you would expect from a glass screen protector, but it saved the screen of my phone.
I was a bit wary when I read the first reviews of the S9 Plus version (which had a different ASIN number) but then I heard they were updating it. They reached out to me to offer me to try the new one (free of charge) which I just received. The main complaint about the previous version was not enough glue on the edges (it is edge only sticking) but the new version apparently has more glue and it certainly has stuck well on my S9 Plus. Obviously, the proof of the pudding will be it it still sticks well after it has been on a while and I will update my review if it develops a problem.
The installation tray makes it very easy to instal.
I am using it with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case and they fit together very well.
As I said, I did not have to pay for the protector but this review is my honest opinion and, if I did not like it, I would have said so.
Just to add - the packaging recommends turning on the touch sensitivity setting in Settings but so far I haven't found that necessary.

Does the glue cover entire surface of the screen or only the edges?
I’m looking for one that covers the entire screen most I’ve seen only covers partial off the top and bottom so it still looks like there’s a screen protector. I need fill coverage from top to bottom.
Another vote for the whitestone dome!
I've tried several tempered glass screen protectors since the S6+, and they all suck because the adhesive has trouble sticking to the edges so the sensitivity is terrible. The dome is the first I've used that I'm legitimately happy with.
The installation process is really intimidating at first because the process is different from your typical screen protector. But once you do it once and get the technique down, it's actually pretty fool-proof. The tray basically ensures that the alignment is perfect and adheres well. I happened to screw up the first time because my table wasn't fully level and the adhesive didn't disperse evenly and I got a tiny bubble...so don't take that little detail for granted. Luckily they give you two bottles of adhesive, and when I moved to a level counter and put it on a second time the adhesive spread perfectly on its own and it was really easy.
