Hey guys. I'd like to know which screen protector is better, the spigen glast slim, or the glast nano slim? Thanks.

Thanks, but I've heard screen protectors are really helpful, so I would want to buy one the two I mentioned.
So would you advise using no protector at all? Just plain, bare screen?
No screen is completely scratch resistant but I hate screen protectors and simply being careful has served me well in my last 5 1/2 years of smartphone ownership. I haven't scratched the screen at all on any of my last three phones and I achieved that by just being careful.Seems like the glass is already quite scratch resistant and that a screen protector isn't all that necessary. However, should you need to replace it, there is a $7 kit on Amazon, including tools, to replace the glass. Since I paid $29 for the screen protector on my present phone, I think when I get my S4, I'll forego the expense of a screen protector.

I have yet to see a screen protector that didn't have bubbles or dust under it, look naff and worst of all, feel horrible. The combination of Gorilla Glass and an oleophobic coating makes for a lovely screen on the S4. It's a shame to spoil it by putting a screen protector on it.
Still, some people are clumsy. If you're one of those, then a screen protector may be the safe approach.
I just order the Glas. t nano and am so excited
Well, I'm not clumsy, surely. But in the event that I do drop my phone, which is bound to be sometime, the protector should prevent any great damage to the screen. I just want my phone to be as safe as possible.
I think it is highly unlikely it would make any difference at all. If you drop your phone onto a concrete floor, it's not scratches you have to worry about but a smashed screen. A screen protector will not provide any protection against a smashed screen.No doubt the screen is of good quality. But as said above, I'm quite sure, if the phone was to skid across car park concrete floor, having additional layer protecting the glass, would be better than not having one.

That's a situation where a case should protect the screen. But I do understand some people don't like cases.
I googled up "Galaxy S4 Gorilla Glass" (or something like that) and did some reading.

The only hangup with the GG3 screen is that it seems like it has a higher propensity to shatter on impact but I don't think a screen protector is going to help much with that.
Just opinion here, of course.
--Wag--
Not to throw water on your fire but... there have been many posts of those who have taken on the task of replacing the glass, not the digitizer, and all seemed to have mixed results. They would seem to work good for a few days then problems would arise with touch issues, dead spots, etc. It seems the factory glass is bonded to the digitizer with some sort of adhesive that is near impossible to replicate on the home bench.
On the other hand the original screen really is quite durable. Get a decent case that will keep the screen from touching when laid face down and you should be fine.
I guess I'm just a bit too paranoid. I just don't want anything to happen to it, haha. Will the Spigen Neo Hybrid protect my phone if it's face down?
