DEFINATELY a tempered glass protector. Best ?1.50 I ever spent!! Have a small collection in the office now. They are lifesavers an easy to apply!!
Get it running W10M!! You would not believe the difference in UI. It looks great and can make tiles transparent rather than thick black lines in WP8.1. The menu system is easier to get around if you use W10 already. It's a very good mid range device that deserves better than some reviewers say.
Yes, it isn't a super duper HD screen, the camera isn't a billion megapixels, yes it's a windows phone and not as sexy as 'other brands', BUT...... At $30 or ?40 it's a steal, and once used to it and the windows ecosystem, you will probably ( hopefully????) stick around.
Hope you get on alright with it
