Halo Free Tempered Glass

its seems there a far more tempered glass with halo issues then without them. i feel like i lucked out with a steal of a price. i am no photographer by anymeans nor do i own a macro lens. ill do my best to get the shots off.
i did however get a few bubbles(?) by the home button. overall very pleased.
If anyone is interested in the screen its here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UH8KKA0

Glad i can be of assistance, post back with ur results...
My minor bubble seems to be going away. You also get a back flim, havent installed it yet. Tryin to find the right case
s6 made me do it

Thanks for the photos. From your third photo, it looks like the screen protector covers 1mm over the left edge of the actual screen. Is this similar on the right side?
I actually have their HD Clear on mine right now and it's great.

That may be my fitment, i layed it twice... but it looks like if it would of been .30mm wider it would of been tits. Or maybe if i shifted over .15mm i would of been good. But this looks good enough for the girls i date
s6 made me do it

Tks for the pics...the tempered galss is realy good...

Nice looking screen protector.

Zag works perfect with no halo effect.

So here are some pics of the Zagg. Halo free.

Nice looks real good, post a link where people can buy.
Although im not a fan hows yours is cut but it looks good

None of the screen protectors cover the fingerprint sensor.

Not at all. The fingerprint scanner is on the homebutton, and all of the screen protectors have cutouts there.

Why do none of the screen protectors fit the entire screen?

Right now, there are three types of glass out there.
1) Flat glass cut to the size of the screen. Since the edges of the screen are rounded, the edges of the glass don't adhere. This produces what people call a "halo" effect, because the part of the glass not sticking will appear white, creating a white ring around the outside of your screen.
2) Flat glass cut to fit only on the flat part of the screen. It stops before it reaches the curvature of the screen, and therefore doesn't extend to the edges. In my opinion, it looks bad, I'd be constantly scraping my finger along the edge, and it's not even protecting my entire front of my phone, so what's the point?
3) Curved glass cut to fit the entire front of the phone, edge-to-edge. There aren't many of these out there and reviews are really just trickling in. I started a thread for discussion of them, but no content as of yet. I'm hoping that the glass makers will wise up and go this way.

So 2.5d means it should cover the whole screen edge to edge? Haven't managed to find any like this yet

2.5d means that the edge of the screen protector has a curve to it. This makes the glass screen protector less prone to nicks and cracking.

I think it's how its applied. I bought a pair, I forgot what brand but I bought one for my girl and 2 came in the package. I put hers on first and there's the halo around the edges, but I put mine on and there's none to be seen.

Bezel Cases

If anybody is able to find any kind of plastic covering for the Bezel please let me know. I'm not very happy with how easy it is to scratch the bezel and already have a few decent scuffs and scratches on it. Hoping I find some sort of manufacture defect so I can take it in and get a new one to not have to look at these scratches.

Honestly the pictures look like it only covers the front screen and back but I can't be certain on that. If it covers the bezel then it would be separate from the screen protector itself, so that the bezel could still be used.

I'm unable to find any demos of what it uses and how it applies. Only stuff for phones. Happen to have a way to demonstrate how this product works? I'm not too keen dropping 16$ on a product I haven't seen anything on. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be a product with just the body skin, it's a body and screen combo. I was hoping to use a glass protector as I think film protectors are weakand don't actually help against shattering.

If you want the bezel, sides, front, back and screen protected, you need this one:

I just installed it (better have a ton of time and patience). It is drying now - seems to be decent to the eye, but I cannot comment much since I have not worn it outside yet and bumped the watch into things to see how it holds up.

The full body skin one from Skinomi has a thin circle of material that covers the top (flat) part of the bezel to keep it from getting scratched. It does not cover down over the fluted edges of the bezel, so you can still grip them with your fingers. HTH

Any pics of it installed?

Glass protector on the bottom shot was a little dirty - forgot to wipe it off before taking the photo.

I installed the matte version and it is pretty nice. Installation level = Expert. Patience is required because it comes with tiny pieces that is hard to maneuver on the device. Tools that may help you install: magnifying glass, bright light and toothpick Also I didn't bother installing the protection that touches my skin. Only did the bezel, screen and the sides. Dry time is needed so install it before you go to bed so you can enjoy your watch the following day ^_^

Is the plastic piece covering the bezel one piece or two?

Possible tempered glass fix

This is experiential.
Most of curved tempered glass only has adhesive on the perimeter. This can adversely affect touch sensitivity.
Recently, I discovered a type of glue (LOCA or liquid optical clear adhesive) which requires UV light to fix. This is possible to be used as "filler".
Before installing for real for first time, use two unused glass plate
Put a drop of glue and glass #1 and cure it and feel it. If it's like "credit card glue" (weak adhesive and easy to remove), try to bond with same glue. Put another drop on glass A and bond it with glass B and cure the bond. If the glass can be separated without too much effort. Go to the real work.
The phone MUST be on 100% leveled surface to avoid mess. Drop the glue on the middle of the screen from top to bottom (or bottom to top)
Put on the glass plate and observe the glue spread evenly. You can apply a bit pressure to push out excessive glue, and wipe away leaked glue.
Use UV light to cure the glue. The duration depends on the previous experiment. If the glue cured after 15 minutes, it takes 20-25 minutes to cure.
Hopefully this method can help touch and fingerprint scanner issue.
You need a weak and easy to remove bond so you won't break the screen upon removal.

Im thinking about "fixing" my cracked screen like this sort of. Using the loca between the phone and the glass screen protector to hopefully fill in the small crack channel and not be a botherance.

I've used Loca for other phones. That stuff is really durable, even on phones with curved screens. Looking to test this with my Edge.

guys its here not my item but ive ordered to try aswell https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001855747792.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.14293c00pc3tYE&mp=1

Um there are tempered glass protector screens that use UV based adhesives...
If you go this route probably should clean off the adhesive on the protector and use just the UV cure bonding. Otherwise you will probably run into issues with screen placement and air bubbles.

I bought them and they arrived and they're pretty easy to apply if you're used to Whitestone Dome Glass screen protectors.
You dont get a jig to fit them perfectly like Whitestone provide and the glass itself it not as good either but for the amount they cost they're actually good and fit well.

I checked the link - watched the application video - had a stroke.

Could you please show me what these protective glass panes actually look like? And if it's not hard for you , please show how they look on the phone.

I decided to glue the glass with UV adhesive. Films are torture already peeled on the side edges.
It turned out not so great clearances between the glass and the cover on the sides. My finger doesn't cling to the edge of the glass.
Oleophobic not bad. Glued Mocolo glass with UV adhesive for Sams S20 +, it will be worse.
The frontal camera shoots fine, the image is not blur out from the glue, there is no distortion.
Touchscreen, fingerprint work fine.
The seller said that the glass is from Imac. I didn't buy it in China, I bought it in my home country. But I think this IS IT

I like the no hole style much better as a hole collects trash, is unattractive and complicated installation.
It does add extra layers of refraction* and extra material that will degrade the image to some degree. Since I rarely use the front cam this be a fair tradeoff for me, but some may notice and not like it.
*screen glass>adhesive>glass protector, 2 extra refraction zones that the light needs to pass through.

I don't know, I don't see any distortions.

Hey Sudman,
I was wondering if you could provide any feedback. How does the fingerprint and touch sensitivity do after installing? How well do they resist scratches and oil? Are they easy to remove? Can they be used with as shell or bumper? Anything else someone should know before buying them?

What is the Edge 5g? Is that a 3rd Edge variant apart from the Edge + and Edge regular (both of whom have 5g)? Its really confusing.

Question Oleophobic coating

I've started to notice that where my thumb scrolls up and down on the screen the coating must be wearing away because there is 2-3cm streaky bit , obviously only had the phone 2 months, should I take it back to Samsung or is there a decent spray out there that anyone could recommend, thanks

i would have recommended using a screen protector, but thats a little to late if you do get a new handset a screen protector should be fitted before even turning it on would be my advice

What have you been cleaning your screen with? You don't want to use any kind of Chemical or Alcohol cleaning liquids on phone. Best thing to use is eye glass cleaner that safe for all coatings. If it is safe for eye glass coatings it safe for your phone. Be sure to wipe it with a microfiber cleaning cloth and NEVER a paper towel or bathroom tissue.
I haven't used a screen protector on my S7 Edge, Note 8, S20U or my current S22U and never had a problem.
I use Zeiss Lens cleaning spray as it's safe for all eye glass coatings and a microfiber eyeglass cleaning cloth. I have used that for all my phones and it has never stripped off the coating.
But I guarantee if you are using chemical cleaners like Windex or Alcohol Wipes to clean your screen that will definitely strip off the coating over time. Again just buy something from the eye glass store that specifically states it's safe for use on all coatings.

Yeah same here. Last phone I had the s20U came with a screen protector on it and I didn't even know it was on there. After couple months it looked like little chips in glass along edge of phone. Finally took it out of case and saw these was a film on there and peeled it off and viola screen was flawless again.
Anyway the S22 supposedly doesn't come with a sceeen protector but it couldn't hurt to look and see.

Same here,. I bought the phone in February, when the line appeared, then they replaced my screen in July. Now after 2 months the line has reappeared (vertical) on new screen. Does Samsung have a manufacturing defect? Unbelivable....

+1 for the Fusso coating. I used it on my tempered glass screen protector for the S22U and it worked great. You probably need to re-coat it every few months but when you do the difference is crazy.

Could be defective. I had an iPhone 8 Plus that developed a patch that would get streaky just like you described. And it was only a week old!

Question S22 ultra, camera lens protector does affect image quality?

Hi guys i have a question S22 ultra camera lens protector does affect image quality? Anyone have done comparision? Do you have pictures? Have a nice weekend.

Yes it will degrade the image; refraction, ghosting, and possibly other optical anomalies.
The phone already has a lense protectors built into the rear cover. They are replaceable if damaged. Use a case with a raised guard to protect them. Clean with a dry microfiber cloth.

Would you recommend any good case? Spigen thin fit is fine?

Zizo Bolt, excellent drop protection, doesn't attract dirt, grippy, easy to clean.
The screen protector may be a toss, don't know.
The case kick stand tends to break but doesn't effect protection. It all I use on my N10+'s, zero damage. It will soak up a 2-4 foot concrete corner hit with ease. Good spen corner protection.

Thx for reply, im looking for something not that fancy looking. Actually im using spigen thin fit with esr lens protector and im just thinking about removing esr. Im just curious if thin fit from spigen is enought to cover and protect camera lenses well.

Forget how it looks. That's a very heavy phone that loves to corner hit when dropped and face plant. The Bolt isn't that thick and easy to hold.
It won't come apart in a multiple impact drop.
It protects the mobo, cams, etc from damaging high G loads. Hasn't marred my frame rails in over 2 years of use... I live in the desert and it's dusty.

I have the spigeon and it's pretty decent but I think the TORRAS Clear case is much more protection and is more comfortable in the hands. It feels literally like air bags. Camera protection is good with that case too. I only use spigeon for the kickstand. For screen protectors I find the EGV Screen protectors to be the best out of all the ones I've found. As of right now I'm not using a screen protector because all of them have a negative effect on spen performance or cause issues when swiping text on keyboard. The screen feels very good to the touch when it's naked.

I Don't see any differences with or without lenses.
Will try in the night too.

I used mocolo camera protect in Note 9 and photo quality were worse. Next i tryied protect cameras island in Fold 2 and too i saw worse photo quality, especially in evening or night.
So now i don't use any camera protection and i am happy with full photo quality without scratichng on the camera island/lenses.

I use the ESR lens protectors. No issues in 3 months, day or night. There are reviews on Youtube comparing the lens covers with and without and results are exactly the same.

Yes it affect image quality. Not so much but still affect.

From my personal experience, the lens protections aren't altering a lot the pictures quality, if they do, it's so slight that I've never noticed anything that would make me suspicious.

Try shooting at the longest telephoto setting with and without a camera lens protector. You'll see differences.

I got these and I have not noticed any degradation in image quality. Sorry if that defies your physics. I've taken shots of the moon that don't look any different before I had the camera protectors on the phone. None of the photos I've taken show any artifacts.
I don't like scratches on my camera glasses, and I don't think it's not cheap to replace them either once scratched.

Are they coated with an anti reflective coating to prevent ghosting? What about flaring?
Is the protector perfectly flat?
Otherwise it will cause optical aberrations.
Even if all the above conditions aren't a concern you will create refraction that doesn't need to be in the optical pathway. That will degrade the image in itself.
There's no sense in protecting the lense protector with a second one
Guard it with a case only.
You paid big bucks for this cam system that was carefully engineered. Why screw that up with unnecessary add ons?

I feel you. I hate when my phone gets marred.
This heavily N10+ is almost 3 yo and lives in the dusty desert. Not even a micro scratch on the lense protector that I can spot. Like on the S22U it's part of the rear cover. Sold separately too I believe.
The S22U is 30gm heavier than N10+, it's not going to like getting dropped. The only thing the N10+ likes to do more then corner hit when dropped is face plant. I use the Zizo Bolt, the phone is still in perfect condition. Without it this N10+ be toast.
Worry about and protect the stuff that's expensive and hard to replace; display, frame, and mobo.

For me personally it dose especially with the 10x .. but i rather lose quality then it breaks so
