My carrier store does not have glass screen protectors. That is T-Mobile. I got one for my 5S2 years ago from the Verizon store. I have seen one online made by anger, and sold from Amazon via anchor direct. I am debating whether or not I want to get another one. Mary Sent from my iPhone >

To the person who said they don't remember negativity when new releases of screen readers came along, I can only say, I don't know where you were. But I used to be a regular on the window eyes list. And let me say, there were tons and tons and tons of complaints every time new releases came out.
