Good - Better - tempered glass foil?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreword
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like many others, I succumbed to the temptation a toughened glass protection for my Samsung Galaxy S5 to buy as existing normal films "felt" were poor. But how to do it really tight? This may rather poor estimate average Joe consumer, therefore I write "felt". This tempered glass sheet are just a better feeling of safety. It is "theoretically" supplied to the hard glass to install everything according to instructions. In practice, however, looked at me different. This is the fit "relatively" well. Relative? Difficulty in applying?

But first things first ...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delivery (in my case, that seems to deviate from other Rezerenten):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1x real glass / tempered glass sheet (wrapped in pastiktütchen)
- 1x Microfiber cloth + 1x alcohol cloth (wrapped in plastic bag)
- 1x small plastic cards (with the plastic bags the microfibre cloth)
- Ominous thin film, a side light blue, other side white (with the plastic bags the microfibre cloth)
- All bagged in a paper sachet
- Which in turn marketing technically chic packaged as in the picture items to see

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attaching to instructions (in the package inner side printed):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Clean the screen of your smartphone and get somehow lint-free
2. Remove Step-1 protective film on the tempered glass
3. Place the now free side of the tempered glass on the display of the smartphone
4. in the middle on the hard glass pressing with your finger, the glass "sucks" is now fixed
5. Pull off the Step-2 protective film on the tempered glass
6. et Voilà

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is the theory, now the practice:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The supplied anti-booze cloth brings more booze than it removed on the display
- The alcohol-soaked cloth does not smell of alcohol and leave a moist film on the display
- The wet film, however, can be removed with the booze cloth completely
- By the way was moisture in Fustuch prevents og lint the cloth better
- With my hard glass protection lacked the Step-2 film ...: /

After the first fitting I was not quite satisfied with the position. No matter, I thought. With the plastic card, should / can arrange the hard glass again and then position simply re ... I was wrong. The tempered glass is provided on the bottom with a "sticky" coating, so that the glass firmly attaches itself to the display and does not fall of its own accord. That's just as well, otherwise the device would be useless. However, there have been just made on this page a few specks of dust immediately comfortable. This was my instantaneous eye but hidden. Foil placed back ... ... aaarghhh dust grains that are emerging between glass and circular display. This is rather suboptimal.

Agree glass again and settle the booze and dust particles from the "bonding surface" of the armor plate with an adhesive tape strips. Insert glass again and ... Now I have a smile on his face. Tested tenderness and color brilliance of the display with foil. The smile turns into a wide grind. Very nice, I think ...

Again I was wrong ...?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The inner camera has not been left out during glass ...?! But Why? We probably remain a mystery forever.
- If the film is not exactly aufgbracht, but maybe a little bit too high, the sensors are not completely free
- Left / right and up / down remains free a small edge, so no 100% coverage term.
- The "thickness" of the protective glass, falls to the edges in the recess, a slight shadow on the screen. As in my case, the S5 in white, to the edges of tempered glass looks so very deutlisch. Optically not a gain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toughened glass vs. Color brilliance / brightness after closer inspection
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lack real-words-see, I describe it this way: the colors are not exactly brilliant, but rather something "subdued" over. Also, I feel that the display now a klitze-small-infrequent dark than before. What I personally do not find as soooo bad. The display is way better than that of my old Galaxy S2. So therefore still a win-win situation for me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toughened glass vs. Fingerprints / grease
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fingerprints can be seen although actually no, it adheres to the wiping movements immediately transferred from the fingers greasy film on the protective glass ... No matter, I think. Simply wipe on T-shirt, pants or fleece pullover.

Again I was wrong ... That's right, the greasy film can not be depending on the strength without the use of a la Reinigunsmitteln glass cleaner remove. Since I usually do not in my Innentache jackets carry with me as I get back from? I have not yet figured out. For me very angry, because in bright light on the display, the glass then just looks still smeared dull and dirty. The beeintrichtigt the look-and-feel sensation during use - for me at least one major shortcoming - enormous.

When cheap plastic foil on my S2 I never had a problem with that. The did not have similar once with glass cleaner be wiped. The short-over-leg or T-shirt-pull method was there immr sufficient. Even beforehand, without foil, the display glass to clean was simple: Rip-Rip over leg or arm and complete. Alledings I when attaching these "cheaper" films always one or two burned up before I had the film applied really fit. Because if you spanks this is then you can these plastic sheets as in this hard glass now not just peel and apply again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toughened glass vs. Scalpel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nahzu Unkaputtbares glass? I wanted to test! It tells so well-known masses always quite a lot. Especially in advertising. So glass with scalpel maltretiert. With the tip struck on the glass and Ritsch-Ratsch cross drawn over the glass. It always nice solid pressed ... I briefly machs: Nada! Nichst seen. Mirror-like surface. And there it is again: The smile on my face.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pro vs. Contra
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Indoor Camera was not included in recess
- No-100% coverage, minimum gap on all sides to the edge of the display glass of S5
- Toughened glass is difficult to impossible to get clean after pollution without detergent
- Minimal beeintächtigte color reproduction / brightness
- Slight shadows to the cutouts on white Smartphone

+ Exzelenter screen protectors
+ Is a very safe feeling
+ Reusable

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it worth a purchase?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes and no ...

Yes, if one with the above enumerated drawbacks is no problem and the benefits of protection outweigh through the tempered glass for. Then it's zugeifen here! For the proud 10, - Euro you get a virtually unbreakable protection for the vulnerable as crown jewel of our beloved smartphones: the display. Ds glass can be removed again and re-apply. After 5x the price has since been amortized.

NO if the user the best screen protector above shortcomings can not outweigh.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My personal conclusion
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me, not completely out waste of money. I wanted the best possible protection. I abe yes now. And sacrificing one has but in almost all products that you buy so. Nothing is really perfect to 100%.

Get the glass now time to test a few weeks in everyday life and look how is that with the cleaning of the surface. If I was to go really hard on his nerves, then I can still 5, - "cheap" for the euro spend Plastic brothers.

//// //// ADDENDUM

After the film some time I have now tested virtually in the field test, I am very, not to say beyond measure satisfied! By clean, I'm doing it now as with a plastic sheet: About T-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, trousers etc. rub. However, a little more back and forth rubbing than the plastic counterparts and press a little tighter. Then the good thing is also fast clean. Use no more glass cleaner. And if you do not use the touch screen as a "switch", "button" or "button", but with your fingers only "slides" instead of "key" or "Touchen", then there is little fingerprints and smears.

After some time of use, I also not 100% term Passigkeit no longer falls on. The eye used to it. Not Recessed interior camera also does not bother me, because I used this as good as not.

I have therefore adjusted and awarded 4 stars instead of just 3 My review.
