On the other hand without having had the oem's tempered glass protector i daresay the differences would barely be noticeable other than the easy to smudge factor

To compare, this one was maybe less than half the price however i feel the screen protector isn't as nice for the following reasons:- it seems to smudge a lot more easily and the smudges are harder to get rid of- the transparency of the screen is ever so slightly less than nextbit's screen protector
