What is the difference between tempered glass and a screen protector for iPhone 6?

Which is better? I don't want it to interfer with the touch screen part of the phone.

So I went to Argos to collect the tempered glass yesterday.  The lady passed it to me after I paid.  I told her she had given me the wrong one as it was a thin and flimsy thing like the £1 screen protectors that are available in many stores.  The lady said it was the correct one as the normal screen protectors are 'more flimsy.' I did not agree with her but I thought I would try it out.  I got home and put it on and it was exactly the same as the normal flimsy screen protectors and it was covered in bubbles.  I was under the impression that tempered glass protectors were like glass and that they could not bend?  Have I been given the wrong item?

Nor to me either. Too late to take it back? It's not really as described or fit for purpose....

I took it back and replaced it for a more expensive one.  It is just what I wanted.  It is one of those blue tint ones so it is a little annoying as it doesn't fully cover the whole of the front of the screen and as my phone is white it makes it look a bluey/grey colour.

Now that would annoy me!

Question, is it the thicker tempered glass, easy to fit with no loss of screen sensitivity?

Up to now it's working fine.  No issues with the touch screen.

The only slight annoyance, like i mentioned above, is that it doesn't cover the whole of the front of the screen and it has a blue tint on it.  Great for avoiding eye strain.  Difficult to find a big cover to meet where the screen protector ends so it doesn't look ridiculous lol

Friend of mine has a tempered glass protector on his 6+ and he can scratch his car keys over the front of it and not even leave a mark! They look well worth the investment!
