Hi,
I'm looking for one of these....please see image. I've tried at least 4 different brands and none of them work like there supposed too. If the phone rings and I press to answer, it won't work or I get a notification , most times that doesn't work when you swipe it...seems like it's too thick....take it off and all works well. Can someone steer me in the right direction? I always have one of these protectors on and would like to find one that actually works all the time.

Thank you, Jerry

The type of protector you're using is prohibitive from touching the display. Of You want a screen protector, I would recommend Armorsuit. It has excellent protection and it will not prohibit you from swiping or using force touch on the display.

I used this and liked it--it worked well. Also bought their tough armor band. Looks masculine like a G-shock with the combo. HOWEVER, after only a few days the trapped dust/debris left many scratches on my silver stainless steel case. Any case protector will do this. I still use the band in rotation and love it.

Edited to add: It appears they've removed the band from their website. Glad I bought two!
