Well if you're looking at getting a Fre the popular screen protector to pair with that seems to be the Belkin Antiglare Iris. It helps to eliminate the newton rings that appear with the fre's screen protector. I'm also in the same boat. Might try to order a Belkin from Amazon (I have a Fre case but don't use it all the time and want to start using a screen protector again).

OP, as you can tell there are a lot of screen protectors to choose from. I think the GLASS versions currently on the market are the best ones. I chose Zagg GLASS...it works for me.

Not gonna lie but I use one I bought from the dollar store and it works much better than the ones I've bought before, if I can find the packaging I'll edit this post later.

Yup. The ZAGG Tempered Glass is just amazing. Looks and feels like the glass on a smartphone. You just always forget that it's even there and it definitely seems more scratch resistant than the actual iPhone display. Now I don't have to worry about my phone getting all scratched out in and out of my pockets.

I have to agree with this. Installation was very easy and it looks/works great.

With the glass protectors, do you still get the air bubbles and dust particles underneath? How about the corners not sticking? Those are all problems I've encountered in the past with regular screen protectors.

I have not had any of those problems with the ZAGG Glass. I took my time cleaning the screen before applying, but the process for application is simple and straight forward.

I use the zNitro tempered glass on one of my 5s', Air, and rMini. I use a BodyGuardz tempered glass on my other 5s.

I'd recommend the glass protectors from Otterbox, the self healing ones. I have seen them take a scratch or two and they never get bad...

But just prepare to pay a hefty amount for those.

I didn't even know Otterbox was now offering tempered glass. Looks like everyone is jumping on the tempered glass bandwagon that I think as Spigen may have started.

I knew about it because I was almost going to be employed into this iPhone accessory company and they introduced me to those in the first day at the interview. Was amazed myself ...
