What brand of glass cellphone screen protector?

[admin]

G’Day All!

My new Galaxy S5 Active has survived its first ~3.5 weeks with me great, but I figure the more protection I can get, the better. But since my brand new case(Supcase Unicorn Beetle) is apparently blocking my signal, at least partially, I’m looking to get the toughest screen protector I can get, and trust the phone itself to be as durable as it is supposed to be, and stay case-less but careful. Its not worth the risk of the $$ to try another case and possibly end up with the same problem again.

Even if the case ends up working out, there is technically a air gap between its built in protector and the phones screen, where IMO any small particles of dirt could collect, and then rub between the two, and scuff the phone. So even with the case on, I think I want a attached protector in place on the phone.

So, thus my question, what brand of screen protectors are good? What do you guys like?

I’m looking at the “tempered glass”, because it seems like it would be tougher. Glass has got to be better protection than a plastic film, right?

I work in construction, automotive mechanics, machine shops, logging type operations… You get the idea; lots of tools, and lots of dirt, and a fair bit of metal particles.

The phone won’t be in a pocket against any tools or even EDC items 90% of the time; It gets its own pocket. But… well… LIFE happens. 

I mainly want something to protect the screen from my dirty grimy hands on the job, but also to protect it from scuffs and scratches from the dirt, metal, grease etc that gets in my pockets, and the same stuff any time its out of my pockets.

And this brings me to the fact that there are about as many brands of these things as there are models of phones available!

So, what do y’all recommend?
