[Q] Screen protector differences - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm planning on buying the OPO with a screen protector along with it and the flip cover. I could see two screen protectors one being a normal one and one being premium, i don't see any differences in the site. Anyone here know? And which one should I get? Matte or anti-fingerprint? Thank you

Don't bother with either of the official OnePlus screen protectors, they're useless. You want a tempered glass screen protector, they actually offer some protection for your screen. I use the Nillkin 9H, it's outstanding. I've heard good things about the Rhino Shield one too.

Me too...
Couldn't be happier with the Nillkin. Put off installing it for a bit and went naked. Really can't tell too much of a difference when it's on, and it was way easier to install than the film type protectors.

Nillkin? Aw man does that mean i have to order somewhere else? And does the tempered glass they offer suck too?

I'd stick with the Nillkin. And yes, you'd need to order it somewhere else, I don't see why that's a problem though.

i was gonna order it along with the phone to lessen shipping costs, but nevermind i didn't get the screen protector or the glass. I only got the flip cover with it as the shipping cost got up to almost 20 dollars, so i thought that i would just get the screen protector somewhere else. Thanks btw =)

I didn't have to pay for any shipping at all when I bought mine, it came from Aliexpress or something like that I think.

I got the Nillkin tempered glass, no issues in fixing and it and I don't find any changes to the touch sensitivity and display of OPO! Looking great..
There is a about 1 mm gap along all sides!

Glass Screen Protector for 6,69$ shipped!

While I think it´s a great idea to have a tempered glass screen protector so we can have a nice protection against drops (I once broke my S3 screen in a pretty small and stupid fall) and scracthes I refuse to pay the 25 to 35 dollars the brands like spigen are asking for a mere screen protector.
So, suggested by another forum user, I ordered this screen protector, ther seller shipped it in the 21th so I should be getting it in a couple of weeks...

For the price it is tempting... It's a throw away if it isn't any good.
Little strange though, when I went to the link, it popped up a dialog asking my language (English wasn't a choice) and a list of countries they ship to (US wasn't one). I know it's a Chinese company, the sites in English, and I think they ship to the US, but that's weird.
I bought similar protector from ebay, it was ~10$ from china. It has been awesome protector and after month of using it, zero scratches! Only cons I give from way too wide cutout on top and open cutout below the home button. Otherwise it's very good protector. And yeah the jelly buttons that it came with was rubish.

So there is no need to use the jelly buttons, the home button is easily accessible? Was is easy to apply? How thick was yours... 0,5mm? If you can please post the link for the deal or some photos.

Actually there is no use for jelly buttons because of that cutout at the bottom, but I will install one when I get my spigen case. It was super easy to apply, no bubbles. It claimed to be 0,4mm but I didnt measure the real thickness. The box said GTG meaning gold tempered glass.

Thanks. it looks the same as my deal, from looking at the photos. Glad you liked it

The case is freaking great, the best I ever used regarding looks, protection and functionality although I believe spigen is reaping us of asking such a high price.

Since Otterbox seems to release their Defenders two months after the phone release, I need case with screen protections built in... No way I am letting this phone go commando for two months... What is the cheapest one you have found?

The Ringke Slim is an excellent thin case that ships with a nice free screen protector. I normally don't use their included screen protector because I prefer glass, but I'm using it now until the glass protector issues are sorted out.
I got it shipped for less than $10 through Amazon Prime.

How's the included screen protector that came with your Ringke Slim? I put mines aside cuz I'm also waiting for a good glass, but debating if I should just slap the free one on.. Do you notice any glare when using your phone outdoor? And how does the edges look with your screen protector on?
It's a perfect cut. To tell you the truth, I'm a little shocked how good it is considering that it was free with the case. The cuts get as close as possible without going into the bended glass portion so no lift issue. This also means you have to get alignment right during install.
As far as glare, didn't notice any. I put it on because I didn't want to rush into buying an unproven glass protector.

Tempered Glass Reviews

I'd personally go for a slickwraps or dbrand skin for the back of you don't like cases. It'll protect it, and you can get something like a leather to still keep the premium look.
thank you for thread , i hope we found soon good protectors
I hope someone will test out some of the crap on eBay, because I sure as hell am not going to pay 50+ dollars for a screen protector.

Hi Y´all!
I ordered this one yesterday:
https://shop.brando.com/brando-workshop-full-screen-coverage-curved-glass-protector-samsung-galaxy-note7-transparent_p14575c1547d8.html
I´ve had good experience with Brando for the screen protector for my old trusty SGN3.
But the shape of the screen on the SGN7 has got to be a challenge.
On a flat screen a 10TH of a mm / 5 100TH of an inch doesn´t matter.
Here the shape has to be just right for the sticky coating to make a bubble & distortion free experience.
I saw a screen protector review on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQXq0ewUJtU
This product tried to handle small differences in curvature etc. by only applying sticky coating on the edges.
I would have to agree with reviewer. That doesn´t work.
With 20/20 hindsight I might have thought to ask Brando about this before making the order - Oh well :fingers-crossed:
Regards
Elo
Can't wait to see the results!!

I ordered the same one. Hopefully it will work well.
On the other hand, I currently have a Skinomi one on mine (wet application). I'm using masking tape to hold down the edges as it dries and adheres. So far it's almost invisible because I took my time. No rubbery feel either. If my case works well with it I might not even install the glass one.
Leaving the plastic sticker on the back glass for now, though.

Lol I meant to write "whose owned". Just got up, sorry.
Either way if I see the screen protector has that tape only on the sides I'll probably just return it.

Screen Protector?

So I'm under the impression that the glass panel that covers the LCD is not made of gorilla glass, meaning it would (in theory) scratch relatively easily. This almost certainly necessitates a screen protector, then.
However, I'm only able to find tempered glass protectors (which would be a great added bit of protection) atm, and I hate them because of the dreaded "halo effect" that totally defeats the purpose of the bezel-less display. I've been a fan of the "helicopter-polymer" screen protectors, as once they're stuck, they're stuck; however, I'm unable to find any of those.
I snagged some of the cheapo "transparent-film" protectors (only redeeming part is they give you like 6 in a pack), hoping that I'll be able to get those to stick all the way down around the edges.
Anybody found a screen protector they like?
watch the youtube video where the scratch test is performed. it is near impossible to scratch the screen. i can't see any reason to use a screen protector on this phone given that the scratch test performed as well or better than any other flagship device
edit here it is

I have the mi mix pro version and using this glass screen protector. http://www.ebay.com/itm/142182915322
Perfect fit but has the rainbow effect on the middle of the screen. It looks like it disappears as time goes on though. It's edge to edge no halo.

Hardness test proved the ceramic is an 8, and the glass screen is a 6 (supposedly on par with most other flagship devices, even though there's supposedly no gorilla glass. I've been using it as my every day for about 2 weeks now, and the screen is pristine. I would like a film protector, but if it interferes with the otherwise gorgeous display, I may just run naked.
The case on the other hand is, in my opinion an absolute must. I like the one that came with it, and it seems like it would be pretty protective. I have no intention of accidentally dropping my cherished device (nor testing to see, even though it's insured), but it seems like minor drops might actually be handled quite well by the OEM case.

Worth Ave Group. Always have had good experiences with them; they've never done me wrong, and they cover accidental damage.

I'll have to check that out for sure. I have never dropped a phone before but who knows. "knock on wood".
I found some pretty cool phone cases on eBay and one on Amazon. Hopefully they'll get here within the next few weeks.

The last eBay link you posted is interesting as it does have what looks like extra corner protection. Might grab me one of those.

I have the mi mix pro version and using this glass screen protector. http://www.ebay.com/itm/142182915322
Perfect fit but has the rainbow effect on the middle of the screen. It looks like it disappears as time goes on though. It's edge to edge no halo.

My phone came with this case on it when i purchased it. Do you have a grid of little dots across the entire screen?
Yes it does. You notice it when screen is off.

I just installed this Screen protector and I have to admit that it fits very nicely. No air Bubbles or anything.
Unfortuanely, i can confirm the amazon Reviews, that the Touch responsveness is pretty bad

Thanks. Looks like it'll be a return to amazon then. Maybe I'll go back to film instead of glass. I saw one on ebay for $3.
does it fit even w/ the case on?

Accessories Otterbox Defender Pro Case and Screen Protector Compatibility

I am looking for a compatible screen protector for my Otterbox Defender Pro case. I currently have a Zagg screen protector on my phone and I can not use this case with it because it lifts the edges. I really like the case and know Whitestone Dome will work but I do not want to go the loca and uv curing route. If anyone is using this case with a cheap tpu protector let me know. Otterbox has a Alpha Flex protector that is compatible with the case but I would like to find something less expensive.
I have a Spigen case and the Whitestone Dome.
Never used to cure a protector, but it was easy, just look a several Youtube video's.
I also used a can of compressed air to remove any dust.

Thanks but I said I do not want to use a loca based protector. I've seen the install videos and it's not anything I'm interested in doing for my own preferences. I'm looking for a TPU protector for the Otterbox Defender case, not Spigen or any others. I already have one sitting in my drawer. I do like the compressed air idea for the lint on the edges.

I apologize. Big oversight on my part. I scanned over your OP, but apparently it was too early when I did so. Sorry.

No biggie but thanks. I think I will just bite the bullet and order the Alpha Flex. It's about 2mm less wide than the one I have. I did retry the Otterbox with my Zagg last night and so far it hasn't lifted it again. I still want a backup for when it dose because the fit is so close to the sides and corner. I think they should have cut the case friendly ones a bit smaller.
Hi @Misterxtc, I hope you don't mind if I make a suggestion, in order to hopefully obtain better answers. Edit the thread title to be something like:
Looking for Non-LOCA Screen Protector compatible with Otterbox Defender Pro Case - read that as: definitely not Whitestone Dome

For what it's worth, Whitestone also makes a non-Dome Pixel 7/Pro screen protector, but my wife and I are using the Dome (with Otterbox Defender Pro) so I can't report on the other. They have a reputable warranty, even if you mess up an install, though.
Edit: Also, although your thread is technically a Question-type thread, I agree with you putting it in the Accessories category, as there are a billion new Question threads in this section every day. Okay, maybe only 20, but still.

I did see that on youtube I think but he said it's full coverage. I have warrantied a few screen protectors with them with no issues. But I did order the Alpha Flex a few minutes ago just because they said it is 100% compatible with the Defender Pro. At least it was Google credit I used for the Zagg and not real cash.

I am considering buying the Alpha Flex for my Pixel too. However I haven't found any proper reviews online. Did you end up installing it? If yes, how is it working for you?

The install tray is held together with rubber bands and dose not hold the phone well. Mine ended up popping out of the tray half through the install and ruined the protector so I returned it for a refund. For the price they could at least give you a good install method. The protector itself might be good but good luck getting it on properly.

That's a shame. Can you recommend any other good TPU screen protectors? I was also considering the Whitestone UV Gen but from a video I saw it seems to leave a visible horizontal line in the middle of the screen. Never thought finding a screen protector for a phone could be so hard, it looks like there are no good options.

Sadly not for this case but I have been using this one for a few months now with either my Tech 21 or Spigen Tough Armor cases. I gave up on Otterbox this round.
I got T-Mobile on mine it's so good
