How is this compared to the glass one?

I never had one of these made from a ceramic (glass?), as I did not want something that might break if I dropped it. That is why I purchase the metal ones. I have been quite happy with the metal ones; having not only bought one for myself, but also several others as gifts for family and friends.

Essentially, this is a more sturdy version. I broke the glass version on the second use by accidentally dropping it. This one will hold up for a long time. I haven't noticed any differences in taste. Some might claim there is a difference in heat conductance which may very well be true. That said, I don't see it translating to a significantly different cup of coffee.

For me, I prefer stainless sitting on glass instead of the glass on glass effect because it feels too fragile. As for the benefits of the stainless vs. glass, I feel like heat retention and cleanup are where it keeps me satisfied. Plus I much prefer the aesthetic of steel/glass in my kitchen. Hope this helps!

I would recommend buying one considering they're so cheap. I did cut mine up quite a bit, and the frame makes sure that glass sits evenly. So I would just incase. It will only take a couple more minutes just to replace

Clear like glass window. I also bought one from Microcenter and it was as clear and was cheaper too. One from Amazon was better fit. Microcenter one I needed to force board into a bit. But both good

There is a noticeable difference with the feeling. I believe the glass is better with an iPad.

If it is a standard replacement, it is actually glass. There are metal back covers available.

The glass is tough. I have had it on rig for about 6months And it has seen some abuse. Still in great shape.

It's glass. It's not like window glass but more like windshield glass, so there are layers to it, but it's most definitely glass. Feels and fits identically to the factory shipped stuff, so I am inclined to think it's the real deal. I've used these for both times I've cracked screens and both times they've worked great. No dulling of touch sensitivity or weird after effects, it's identical to the one your phone comes with (except of course, you know, it's not cracked). Just make sure you remove ALL layers of shipping plastic on it (there were 3 on mine, one on the front and two on the back, though some people report it different ways) before you apply it.

Nothing from my research. Both appear to have the same features. Only notable differences would be aesthetics such as colors on the plastic

Icracked mine so I ordered two similar but different brands. The ones I found from US sellers were both less than six bucks. They are just as good as this one in my opinion. So to answer your question yes and no. Glass screen protectors are the best and my favorite in my opinion but you can find then much cheaper.

I believe it is a bit better, and I do love the glass and protection it offers. However, it still shows smears and fingerprints.

There are slight differences in the shape and actual glass clarity. My originals are a slightly amber color and the new are very clear glass. Also I think that the new break easier than my originals and the logo print is not the same.

Glass is sharper, and the sharpness is broader in the middle Vs. the plastic one only being very sharp almost completely in the center. The glass lens also has less of the barrel distortion. I'ts simply about preference, typically people purchase the holga cameras for the distortion ability...

As far as I know, the glass is multicoated, which is similar to have a high quality UV filter (like b+w). I have the first version and a b+w filter, which is better, if by some reason it gets scratched, it's something disposable, not like a lens. But who knows maybe they corrected some CA or barreling which would be a wise move, if so, then it would be worth the extra money.

Honestly, I haven't noticed any difference really. It's designed to provide a better view of your screen. My favorite would be the shatter protectant one. I like the glossy appearance ( not all bumpy )

There really isnt a difference. I have the smooth one and never dropped it or slipped out of my hand.

Yes, it is faster and the juice is quite a bit thicker. I personally prefer the one with smaller holes for green drinks, I'm not fond of green smoothies. :-)
