Reddit reviews Nilkin Nikay 9H Hardness Tempered Glass Front Screen Protectors for Google Nexus 5 - Retail Packaging - Clear

So far I've had no problems using these for my nexus. Prior to owning the nexus, the car mount I used for my note 2 so size and weight isn't a problem.

I've been using these for a year now. I have to say they're great.

I had the Anker tempered glass protector but it chipped in a few spots just from normal use. I replaced it with a Nilkin tempered glass protector and it's been flawless. No chips, no bubbles.

It's $11 now.

Well the n5 battery is bigger than your s2 battery. Disable location/Google now when you get it and it will save a ton of battery. Life wise depends mainly on your cell coverage. 3-6hours of screen on time is normal. Things will be better when lollipop comes out but by the time you purchase your n5 it should be out. Get a nice case and a glass screen protector and you'll be good to go. I have the red n5 so I wanted a case to show it off. I got the ringke fusion case for like $10. Its all I use and I love it :) glass screen protector I'd have to say the nilikin protector.

For the smudgy, cheap screen: get a tempered glass screen protector (I use the Nilkin variety) and make sure it's oleophobic.

Spigen Slim Armor + Nilkin glass screen protector

For a screen protector, I would recommend any tempered glass one. I personally have a Niliken and love it.

For a case, I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and Slim Armor. Both feel great, minimal bulk, plenty of protection and work fine with the glass screen protector.

A tempered glass one? Almost all tempered glass is the same, molecularly. Here's the one I bought on amazon in October, and it's still in very good condition.

http://www.amazon.com/Nilkin-Hardness-Tempered-Screen-Protectors/dp/B00GQOQKJE this is the one I got. So far its working great. No bubbles and the tools it comes with are really good at getting rid of all the dust first. I haven't seen any dust bubbles

This Nilkin one gets pretty favorable reviews. Seems like one of the better options for less than $20 but there are so many now any of them could be good.

The main differences in tempered glass are:

• thickness. Thicker is more protective. Thinner looks and feels better but is also easier to chip and crack.
  
  
• quality of the rounded edges (if any) Rounding is crucial if you're not using a case or using one with no lip such as myself.
  
  
• quality of the oleophobic coating (if any). How easily fingerprints can be seen and wiped off and gives your finger a smooth glide.
  
  
• quality of the adhesive. Thicker glass has a harder time sticking to the phone's glass, especially some of the less flat areas on the N5's face.
  
  You might have some more luck finding someone who's tried that particular brand in thx XDA N5 Tempered Glass mega thread.

I'd definitely go with the glass screen protector. It feels more like the actual screen and will help protect some from impacts. I can reccomend this one. Good luck!

I don't understand the hype with this brand of protectors. They seem ridiculously overpriced and their customer service is pretty shitty.

Been rocking a Nilkin brand glass protector for almost a year without any problems at all (except shattering one when I slammed my phone in the door of my car, but thats hardly a design flaw and it protected the screen perfectly).

Shipping takes a little while as they are direct from China, but they're at least up front about it. When I bought my replacement after the car door incident, estimated shipping was 4 weeks but I had it in 2.

I got the Ringke fusion crystal clear case because white back and wanted to show it off

For the screen protector, get the Nilkin tempered glass

I didn't know what you meant by halo effect so I had to look it up (found this). I've never had that issue with my glass covers in the year or so I've been using them. I've got a Nexus 5 and have been using this screen protector

If you can find the Spigen Neo Hybrid somewhere (they don't have it listed on their shop anymore), it's worked well for me. Two tumbles, once onto exposed asphalt (volume rocker side) / once onto smooth concrete (face down), and it's fine. No issues aside from a few tiny indents/chips in the case.

Also have this tempered glass screen protector on it. That's the same link from when I bought it in 2014 (looked back in order history to find the name), so you will have to search around for a more current purchase option... but that's enough info to get you started.

I'm not completely sure whether it's the best or most popular, but I've had great luck with the Nilkin tempered glass screen protector. Easy application and reasonable price. Link on Amazon

I really like these flip cases for the extra screen protection. I have red and yellow and they look good and have lasted pretty well. http://www.amazon.com/-/dp/B00GQOQKJE

I just got this wood skin and it looks great, but doesn't have the screen protection of the flip case. http://www.amazon.com/-/dp/B00H9OBL44

One thing people seem to not think of in addition to a stylus is the screen.
Naked screens and ones with screen protectors have different amounts of friction.

I would highly recommend a protector like this (tempered glass)to minimize added friction.

I asked not too long ago if I could use a wireless charger with a Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx and was told that I shouldn't get the Tough Jacket because it costs over $100 and doesn't work with a wireless charger. Also that it would "ruin the user experience", whatever the heck that means.

Anyway, they were wrong on all accounts. The Tough Jacket was $32 (at the time) and it works fine with the charger that was suggested to me, which is the Choe Qi Charger. I ended up not getting the Tough Jacket Maxx because I wasn't keen on the screen protector and I don't need a belt clip. I just got the regular Tough Jacket, which is only $24 right now if you want the plain black. For a screen protector I got a Nilkin Nikay Tempered Glass screen protector.

I LOVE the case, the charger works fine, and the only problem with the screen protector is that there is a tiny area at the bottom, off of the screen, looks like it just doesn't want to stick. It's not a bubble, because I can press on it and it goes away for a little bit. Sooner or later though it comes back. It's not over the screen and it's barely visible so I don't really care. Anyway, I posted links to all the crap I bought. I dig it all, but you know, YMMV. Good luck

Nilkin Nikay Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I got a Nilkin Glass http://www.amazon.com/Nilkin-Hardness-Tempered-Screen-Protectors/dp/B00GQOQKJE For the price it's pretty good, much better than the cheap ones at ebay (4-5$). I've never had a 30$+ one but they are supposed to be even better. Check out spigen, dbrand if you are ok to fork over that much :)

first link when I googled it :)

I don't recommend screen protectors ever since I put a tempered glass on my Nexus 5.

This is what I use right now: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GQOQKJE/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awdm_KcOUtb084RYC6

If my phone drops on the glass part, the first thing to break will be that tempered glass.

You should definitely check out this tempered glass screen protector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GQOQKJE?pc_redir=1407534065&robot_redir=1


It feels exactly the same as the original glass and I don't think I could use a cheap plastic screen protector ever again. Totally worth it and your concerns aren't an issue with this screen protector
