So while my tablet is charging, I was having a look and it doesn't appear to have any layer of protective film on the screen.
The box was shrink wrapped and everything was packaged perfectly when I unboxed.
Admittedly, I didn't attempt to peel anything off. Is it possible the film would be applied that well? Or do they ship w/o film too?
The first g tablets had the plastic films over the screen but they no longer ship with it.
Thank you for helping me avoid trying to remove an imaginary plastic film all night!

Need some expert help here! I’ve tried out 3 to 4 different screen protector companies for my HTC HD but they all leave these nasty bubbles and make the screen fuzzy. Can someone please tell me the brand they’re using if they DO NOT have this weird bubble problem…Thanks!
Get martin fields screen protector. It will not leave bubbles as long as there's no dust trapped.

Stylus glide on it smoothly.
Invisible Shield. All the bubbles even out overnight. Doesn't scratch or smudge.
I use Brando Workshop's CLEAR screen protectors. I had tried all of them, even the the ones mentioned above, but none can compare to Brando's accuracy as to screen specification size. The rest are either small and still leave enough space on the sides uncovered, I guess they made it that way to ease replacement or to easily peel it off. But you don't change your screen protector every month, so to me that extra small uncovered space is unacceptable risk of dust going on the sides.
I use scotch tape to get rid of dust prior to applying the screen protector. I use scotch tape on both the screen and the part of the screen protector prior to application. You have to make sure you stick one side first and let it glide to the other side. FLOPPING any screen protector on top of the screen, no matter what brand will leave bubbles.
Yes, if there is dust on the device you can use some tape (which is not too sticky!) to remove the dust. Also try one of those cloths you get with some stuff to remove finger prints. Those seem to be good as well for removing the first dusts.
However, for your next device do this:
Don't take off the protective cover (of the screen) before you get your protector. This way you are sure there is no dust.
Also, when you get your screen protector don't take that off the protective thingy as well!
Go to your bathroom and turn on the shower (leave device in other room for now ). So the shower is filled with steam. This will remove most of the dust inside of your bathroom. So you turn off the shower and while there is just some steam left you go get your device and apply the protector.
Everything has to be done as quick as possible so the chance of dust is reduced to a minimum. Also try and practice a bit with all the protective stuff on just to see how it should fit.
I use this 'technique' with all of my new phones in combination with a Brando screenprotector and it works like a charm! Guess other brands will do just fine as well.
And as the previous poster said, don't just flop it on. Work from one side to another, e.g. from top to bottom. While you rub the protector on the screen. But that you'll have to testrun a few times (with all protective stuff still on) so you get a good idea how to get it right in one try. One try is always best if you succeed .
I hate those bubbles too! Someone suggested purplemoo but it had the same problem. Then I tried navprotector.com, a smaller company I found on eBay. So far it’s working like a charm – no bubbles even after 6 months!
Since the manufacturers do not add adhesive to the whole protector maybe a way to add it your self is to use either OCA pre-cut films or LOCA glue. OCA stands for Optical Clear Adhesive, they sell it in pre-cut films, and LOCA is the same but in liquid form. This is the stuff they use when replacing a phone screen and is placed between the screen and digitizer. LOCA might work better in terms of not having any air bubbles but it is messier and requires a black light to cure. Another downside to this is it the protector was to break it would be a bit of work in order to clean the screen to prepare for a new screen protector. OCA films may require a machine in order to end up with bubble free results but can be applied with a rubber roller.
Does any one think this will work? Any one willing to try it?
Had the original transparent case from Honor from day one on my Honor 8 Sapphire Blue with a glass protection on screen.
I ordered the GKK Ultrathin Matte Bumper Protection Case in blue off ebay could it came within 3 weeks from China something like €2.30 free shipping.
It's a 3 part case where the top and bottom parts cover once on cover up to the screens board line and the mid section the main bulk of the phone. The top and bottom covers have two each locking tabs (push fit) into theid section of the case.
One on its a nice tight fit around the device and lays flat on the screen No Gaps.. All punched holes are spot on, camera's sensor, jack plug, speaker, mac's fingerprint sensor and charger port. Must say the light sensor cut-out is over sized for some reason not round but oblong with top and bottom being curved. The volume and power buttons all make a positive travel with a soft soft click sound when pressed.
The mid section of the case once on hugs the phone nicely and meets up with the top of the phones frame edge and not curved round over to met the screen.
Having said that the case feels good in the hand nonslip does not make the phone look bigger or feels heavier.
I left my armoured screen glasses protection on when fitting this case NOTE if you choose to leave an armoured screen protection due to the thickness of the armoured glass you will need to offer up basically take you time and make sure the top and bottom of the case when fitting is over the armoured protect and push down slowly to met up with the mid section.
Reason being if you just went and try and put the cover or or force the cover on you'll have a high rate of the armour cracking, breaking..
The other option would be to use a protection film on the screen and one could just push fit the cover section in place without worrying about any damage.
Like the phone itself the bumper case is a fingerprint magnet but it's an around good protection to the body of the phone and still use the phone as if there was no phone case on it..
Is it worth it? Yes
Can you fit case if device has a armoured glass protection? Yes but be very careful take you time very tight fit.
Would I recommend others to buy it? Yes
Doesn't seem to move or slip off a flat surface while it vibrates on calls..
looks nice, would have chose a different colour tho
It looks like a hassle....i just need a strong back case and a tempered glass that covers the whole screen.....i got the cover all right but finding the tempered glass is a bit of a hassle the Terapin ones i got did not covered the whole screen it has like 0.5 cm space from each side

It's not snap fit all in a few seconds without an armoured screen protection otherwise one needs to take care if fitting over an armoured screen protection.. All in all it's a well made and designed case..
There is a similar case where it protects the rear and sides leaving you to put a screen protection on at ease..

Sorry cause i don't understand...does this full armor case has a glass that protects the actually screen or does it just cover the whole phone except for the screen?
Also if you already have a tempered glass on your phone do you need to remove it? or you can apply the case without any issues?
It just covers the phone the screen is exposed no protection..
My phone already had a armoured screen protection on it and l carefully put the top and bottoms of this case over it..
How does the case feel in the hand? And do you have trouble whit the screen, knowing it covers the phone exept the screen
This suggestion might not be a solution for everyone but life is a series of compromises I guess. I've bought half a dozen glass screen protectors(all the ones available on amazon) and several phone cases as I was unwilling to go without a full glass protector on my phone so this is the solution i came up with. Confirmed repeatable, I'm preforming this on my 3rd PH-1(pictures) while i write this. (don't worry, its not because they broke!)
So basically:
Orzero 9H glass screen protector + Poetic Guardian Case

The glass protector itself is the best of all the glass protectors i've tried so far but it still has its shortcomings. The glue is applied to the black thin line around the border which is ok on the bottom but the top is too thin. Once installed it "floats" around up top near the camera. NOTE: Eventually the glass gets the spotted rainbow effect in the glass center. Not noticeable once the screens on but some i know would like to know this before hand. Slick glass feel tho, no more finger printy then the factory glass. With a hard press you can move it around and recenter it but im sure eventually it will fall off left alone.
That is where the case comes in. The case is two piece, the bumper that is raised around the screen(inner case), overlaps and has a plastic cheapy protector glued in place.
Clean and apply the glass protector. Clean the edges of the glass protector and ensure its centered. Take the inner case and remove the cheap plastic protector that it comes with. LEAVE THE GLUE on the inner case. Install the inner case over the phone ensuring the protector is centered once again before pressing down around the edges firmly. Install remaining outer case rubber.
You now have an Essential phone WITH A GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR!! The case is IMO not the prettiest but feels great, easy to grab and grip, cutouts and port covers all work properly, buttons are still clicky. My wife even likes it more then her retired iPhone, and that's saying something
Remember to press against the glass protector at the bottom mainly, if you need to remove the inner case so it does not lift.
Hope this helps those PH-1 owners who wish to enjoy the security of a glass screen protectors. :highfive:
Poetic's glass screen protector also works with the Tudia Glost case. I think that was posted in the cases thread some time ago. That's the combination I'm using now. So far the Poetic screen protector has stayed on very well. It has the same rainbow issue when the screen is off, but like you said, you can't see it when the screen is on.
Ya, i avoided that case since lots of reviews about the back cracking upon dropping it. Haven't seen the peotic brand glass protectors either but im sure this works with any protector and case with similar designs
I'm noticing the screen protector in my RN9 is getting a little scratched - not too badly yet, but a few trips to the beach and accidentally putting it in pockets with keys have left a few marks, making me think I'll need to get a new one sometime
Has anyone tried to pry off the original screen protector? I'm reluctant to try until I've a replacement as I don't want to break it if it's rigid (though I don't think it can be rigid since it's picked up these scratches, suggesting it's not as hard as rigid ones tend to be)
Any recommendations of replacement ones? I'm tempted to get a few for when this one gets messy
Ok, it's flexible film
There are loads of films and tempered glass ones through AliExpress
