What screen protectors do you use? I want one thats easy to apply without getting air bubbles in it. The case I have doesn't wrap over the top of the screen. Its a spigen case.

I think it depends on where you live (what's in the soil) and your lifestyle. I've scratched gorilla glass by doing nothing more than normal every day touching and swiping.With gorilla glass used in most phones, is screen protectors even needed. I have yet been able to scratch a phone with gorilla glass
I still fail to see how a tempered glass film prevents screens from shattering. I think that's marketing BS to be honest.I'm not worried at all about scratching, but rather shattering my screen. I figure tempered glass screen protectors are cheap insurance...

I concour... In the alst year I have peeled off shattered screen protectors off both my phone & my daughters that had good screens underneath. Also I have never meet a phone screen that I couldnt accidently scratch. So since I am going to run a screen protector anyway I will pay 10 bucks for one that looks good with no bubbles rather then 5 bucks for a 6 pack of ones that I go through 3 trying to get applied with minimal bubbles that still offers less protection.I disagree by about 95%. I can't be certain, but it absorbs the impact - when it shatters it dissipates the energy that would have instead shattered your screen... I don't know how that's hard to understand. It's remarkable peeling off a shattered protector to see your fully in-tact screen underneath. I can't explain it, but I'm convinced it works from my own experiences.

Honestly. I just get an Otterbox Defender and call it done.
If you read up on some physics you'd see that the nominal tension a silicone based adhesive provides doesn't do much to change the surface compression to inner tension ratio that causes cracks. Tempered glass screen protectors are great at preventing scratches but aren't bonded strong enough to change the tensile strength of glassGo read up on some physics then or something, it might help you understand.

Feel free to enlighten me because I'm fairly certain you don't have your doctorates in physics.

Still waiting for the physics lecture......you just gave me some half assed armchair lecture.I didn't realize this was such a difficult concept. You drop your phone without a screen protector: The force of the impact is spread across the screen/front of the phone. With a screen protector that same force goes into the screen protector first, with much less being exerted on the inner screen. I guess I should have told you to look more into material properties, something a PhD in Physics doesn't seem to teach. Dropping it on the side would mean the screen protector is pretty useless, but in general a screen is more likely to break if you drop it straight on the screen.

FYI, the force of the impact isn't spread across the screen first genius. The screen is attached to the body of the phone, any force from an impact needs to spread through the body, to the screen, and then be transferred to the protector. The chances of landing exactly flat on the face such that the protector distributes anything is slim to none. Some corner, edge, or side will take the impact first. Landing on an pointed object is a different story.
You're confusing a screen protector held on by a VERY weak silicone layer with a layer that's chemically bonded to it. Slapping a screen protector on the glass is not the same as bonding laminate through heat, chemical, and pressure and it certainly does not change the composition of the glass. While this weak bond does dampen the shock wave slightly it's so negligible that it's not even worth measuring. Glass is an amorphous solid, meaning it's comprised of groups of materials and in-between those groups are cracks. Dropping your phone creates a wave that sheers the dividing line between those materials causing larger and larger cracks to the point that the screen reaches its limit and fractures. A weak silicone bond does virtually nothing to prevent this propagation.
Where a screen protector does help is the daily bumps and grinds that cause micro scratches that weaken the screen that diminish the fracture toughness of a screen but even this is so minimal I doubt it even makes a difference in terms of the way most breaks occur.
Like I said, I'm waiting for the physics lecture, not some vague and general hair brained theory.
In order of attachment: Frame -> Screen -> Screen protector. What hits the ground first? And don't say the screen because the likelihood that it falls perfectly flat is the same as hitting the lottery.Do tell me how the force isn't spread across the screen protector first.
Good ol' subjective arguments......Calling names now? The only time I've ever shattered a screen is when it falls face first, flat, onto something like concrete - a very non-uniform surface that likely had something that poked up and hit the screen directly. In any case, I'm done arguing. Believe/do whatever you want.

Side/back impacts don't cause the screen to shatter in most cases./quote]Hahahahahaha. No screen will ever fall perfectly flat on a surface. There's always a concentrated point on the edges somewhere. You're fooling yourself if you think a phone that goes flipping through the air will land flat on the screen and perfectly distribute the impact.
I'm not butt hurt at all. If anything it seems as if you're scrambling with half assed explanations because someone offered a more in depth explanation and as it turns out you can't back up your claims that it's all about physics. Here's a tip, if you tell someone to learn physics to explain something at least be able to do it yourself. Otherwise you come off sounding like an idiot.It seems you just go butthurt that I told you to google physics and are just hung up on that.
