    Guys can you recommend any good screen protector for iphone 5... The one im using now is from some mall tiangge which has a horrible quality. I want crystal clear or matte type but does not degrade the retina display. TIA. :redface:

    Im using SGP Glass tR Nano Slim. It's not fingerprint proof but it's oleophobic and not as messy as plastic screen protector.

    Not really, but better than most clear plastic screen protectors.

    Try the Momax brand. I think its better than my previous Spigen Glass Protector and a lot cheaper. My finger just glides on the glass. Its so smooth. Once you go glass, you'll never go back with film screen protectors. Trust me. :)

    But do i have to use a jelly home button for the tempered glass? I imagine the home button a bit sunk if you put a tempered glass.

    Well for one thing, if you don't want to degrade the retina display, do not use matte screen protector.

    I use generic tempered glass which only cost 500 pesos, then an aluminum button with silver accent which is perfectly rise the home button but still bit recessed than glass surface, make it a perfect 5s look alike, almost if not all friends greet me if I upgraded to 5s. hehe!

    Go for tempered glass. The most trusted here in PH is Spigen. But, the one who holds patent for tempered glass screen protectors is Realook. Both are available in Applewerkz stores,

    Spigen is expensive. Get the Momax from Beyond the Box at almost half the cost of Spigen.

    What brand is your generic tempered glass? MOMAX cost around 1200php while SGP is at 1800php i think. I found some HK and korean brand tempered glass at around 700php, is that good quality?

    I got few from a friend in HK, 2nd gen smooth edge, use for my Note3, G2, iPhones, only 500 pesos, cheap as a thin screen protector, I also got few spare in case it need to be replaced, I don't think expensive tempered glass can be scratch free forever too

    Are tempered glass more durable than plastic screen protector? I'm thinking of buying MOMAX GlassPro+ XS tomorrow in Digital Walker ATC. I would like to know more about the pros and cons of tempered glass before i shell out 1200php. :):):)

    For one, when your phone gets dropped, only the tempered glass will shatter, if it ever does. It will leave the phone's display intact. They also say that it feels natural to touch.

    got my Nilkin tempered glass from tomli of tipidcp. I also saw some generic ones in Landmark Makati for 350 but you have to install it yourself.
