Screen protectors - Xiaomi Mi 4C

Which screen protector do you use, and which is the best?
I got myself Makibes Toughened Glass and while it does the job well (rounded edges, totally transparent, lots of accessories to clean and put it on screen) i find it a bit grippy. I come from Nexus 4, and compared to that screen this one is not so smooth when running a finger over it (It is smooth compared to some plastic protectors though).
It does not cover proximity sensor or camera. Do protectors never cover that?
Did you find a perfect screen protector? I am thinking of buying a new one that has everything like this one but less grippy

I have a Nillkin 9H and its really smooth, i would say its like the original screen when i run my finger over it i'm totally satisfied. Btw, it covers the frontcam.

I'm also using a Nillkin 9H screen protector, same as rob rich. I also think the feeling is like the original screen in terms of smoothness and feeling. It does cover the front camera as rob rich also said. In my opinion, the screen protector is much more resistant to fingerprints as well. Not saying the original screen is a fingerprint magnet, but fingerprints get more stuck on the original screen than the screen protector.
It don't cover the proximity sensor (which is a good thing imo), because A LOT of times when the proximity sensor is covered by a screen protector, it will behave very strangely. You can google about screen protectors and proximity sensors and you will find a lot of information about it. Why would you even want to cover the proximity sensor anyway?

I got Nillkin 9H.
I like it enough, it is similar as the one i had before, but it is not as smooth as Nexus 4, which is the reason i bought it in the first place.
So my search for a screen protector that does not "grip" continues

i use this 9h glass, probably not from a well-known brand.. works fine though, smooth to the touch

I'm also using the Nilkin 9H+ Screen Protector and it works really good.

I know its not tempered glass, but I just slapped one of these on, and I am very happy.
Originally had the UAG screen protector that came with my case, which was crap.
It does not cover the entire screen, but I cant even tell that I have a screen protector on my phone. It is invisible.
I bought the HD Clear.
For $3.99, you cant go wrong until a decent glass screen protector comes out.

I heard good things about this screen protector. Does it have glass feel? I have spartan glass protector on mine and has halo around the edges. Mind posting some pic?
With your finger it feels nice, not rubbery like the UAG that I had on prior. With the S-Pen, it definitely doesn't feel like glass. Using the pen, with every swipe you know its plastic.
I don't use the pen often, so this is not an issue for me.
The only camera I have is the phone that the protector is on, sorry.
I bought the same ones and they're a great deal even if the price was doubled.

Has your screen gotten any scratches yet or do you use a screen protector?

If GSM Arena is to be believed, then the screen on the Honor 8 has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, the same as my old Galaxy S5, which got tons of micro scratches and a couple of big ones until I put on a screen protector. The screen on the H8 feels much smoother than the the S5. I like the super smooth feel of the H8 screen and that it doesn't get smudged up very easily and is easy to wipe off when it does. So, screen protector or not? Help me decide.
Dropped it one time with a screen protector and it cracked
I always use one. It's a personality taste thing. Although I feel that the screen is definitely durable enough, stuff happens.
Most of the feedback I've seen on here is that the screen scratches incredibly easily. I have a Nilikin tempered glass protector on. While it doesn't fit perfectly because of the curved edges, it doesn't bother me at all and I prefer the protection.

Anyone using tempered glass screen protector?

can anyone suggest a tempered glass screen protector that works good and does not interfere with the fingerprint sensor? I purchased one and although it does fit perfectly and works well, the screen protector is thick enough that it interferes with the fingerprint sensor, it basically is too thick and when touching the sensor it only reads a partial fingerprint unless I press on it really hard to squish my finger in there.... anyone using one that is thinner or maybe the hole for the sensor is larger and not having this issue?
you got to change the temperglass

i had that issue so i replace with one which doesn't obstruct my finger print sensor. only drawback is that the temper glass will not provide full protected coverage like the one you have.
The Ringke Invisible Shield is what I am using. No issues with the fingerprint sensor. Have used Ringke products before and not had any issues.
I got an AVODA branded one free with my G6, from B&H Photo/Video. Haven't used it yet. I'm still rocking the plastic one that comes with the phone, the piece that has a white tab at the lower left corner. Once that looks heavily scratched to me, or is just about ready to pop off from another trip to a pants pocket, I'll put on the tempered glass protector.
Installed this a few days ago:
SPARIN Moto G6 Screen Protector, [NOT for G6 Play & G6 Plus] Tempered Glass [Leeway for Case] [Full Coverage] [Bubble Free] Screen Protector for Moto G6- Black
happy with it so far, although thumb taps do sound noticeably, at least at first, louder than the Nilkin tempered glass I used on my G4.
I've had this protector on for 3 months. I'm very pleased with it. It doesn't interfere with the case or the fingerprint sensor. The cutout is precise around the earpiece, camera and sensors. I would recommend this protector.
[4 Pack] MOTO G6 Screen Protector, SPARIN Tempered Glass Screen Protector for MOTO G6, Covers Viewable display Only with Anti-Scratch/Response Quickly/Easy Installation/Bubble Free, 5.7 inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079C9J2GG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_P770BbN75BHD9
I use Supershieldz
It doesn't have any space on both sides; however, you must install exactly on the center or the viewing areas are not fully covered.
So far I am satisfied though it has very little touch degradation.

same here, I debated ordering up a tempered glass plate, but decided to wait and see how the film does first. I've had good luck with SuperShieldz brand. I have a film-type protector on my S7, which is basically bulletproof as far as scratches and dings, but I don't care for the faintly rubbery-texture it gives to the screen.

I finally did it, removed the screen protector...what a difference.

Just a comment on feel and use of the phone without the screen protector.
I couldn't stand the feel of my finger catching on the sharp edge of the supplied/installed screen protector but I love this phone so much I didn't want to risk scratching the screen.
Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and had to remove the protector....what a difference. The phone feels way more premium and the finger print coating seems very good. It does seem to be a bit sharper and bright as the protector is a film and not tempered glass. I have to admit that the Mate 20 X has one of the better supplied protectors but wow, what a difference without it.
So glad I removed it and to everyone else out there, who has removed the film and are still using the Mate 20 X without a protector?

I removed the protector when I bought my previous phone, a OnePlus 6, and the next day had scratches on the screen. After that I'll never go naked on the screen again. Am I the only one who hates tempered glass screen protectors?
I was nice for 10 minutes only. While putting on my tempered glass. I just can't go without, have to have a case too.
First thing i always do is to remove the screenprotoctor if applied. I don`t like the feel and never had a scratch on any phone so far.
I removed the screen protector from my P20 Pro and kept using it for months without any scratches. But on the Mate 20 X I removed the protector last week and now I have two big scratches. Maybe because the phone is larger so it is more prone for scratches.
I just gotten a mate 20 x, still with factory film, would like to ask, how does it actually affect the screen quality with and without it? Reason being I feel like there is visible "pixels" or fonts looking a bit jaggedly as compared on my other devices, I'm not sure if its due to the lower PPI (FHD on a 7.2 screen) or because of the factory film..
I compared it with a similar PPI device (8.4 inch 2k OLED display, 358ppi vs mate 20x 7.2 inch FHD 346ppi AMOLED) and the 8.4 inch device seems to look better and "higher quality" when looking at the fonts
First thing i always do when i have a new phone with screen protoctor is removing it and then install a good piece of Nilkin glass protection.
I never had a phone without this and without a flip cover to... And i never will.

Ok just removed my plastic protector, took a look at the screen without anything on then pasted on a nillkin glass.. it does look a tad clearer, but pixels are still somewhat visible, i guess its not the plastic or glass issue, it simply is due to the low PPI count, probably just not used it to (coming from the 6.6 inch honor note 8 with 443 ppi amoled), but overall its still a really good screen
But at least now it is protected by another physical piece of glass and is much smoother, can definitely say that nillkin glass and coating is good, fits and blends in well with the provided TPU case
I didn't dare to remove the stock protector yet.
But: did anybody have a chance to compare using the M-Pen on phone WITH and WITHOUT the original screen protector?
And how the M-PEN works if 3rd party tempered glass is used?

I tried it with all the 3 options and honestly, i dont feel any difference at all.
Now i use it with a cheap an effective panzer glass from Aliexpress... And its just working goooddd [emoji1305]
I haven't remove screen protector yet, but i find one very bad thing. My m-pen can sometimes made micro scratches on screen protector(only visible at some angle of light).
i ordered some tempered glass and new screen protectors from aliexpress.
preinstalled screen protector is really bad.

You mean even the M-Pen works fine with the PanzerGlass?
Is it able to detect all the 4096 levels of pressure? You don't have to press harder if you want to draw a thick line?
And one more question: I'm considering removal of the stock screen protector and leaving the display without any protection (because the phone is permanently in flip case). And the question is: wouldn't the usage of M-Pen lead to scratches eventually?
I recently removed the stock screen protector and wow what a difference the screen is silky smooth and feels much better.
I did try to apply a glass protector but both times came out wrong with bubbles in the center so I have decided to go naked with the original kickstand case

Yes it works perfect with the panzerglass as i have right now.
And it works fine to draw a thick line to yes... All is fine.
"And the question is: wouldn't the usage of M-Pen lead to scratches eventually" this i dont have any experience with. But saw in here some days ago a guy telling about this and when he hold the phone in a special angle he could see some small scratches on the display.
The pen is more hard in the end vs the Sammy pen what i remember.

Nope. I hate them too. Crappier glass on top of better glass. Lol

I personally use Clearcoat from Mobile Outfitters, front and back No Case. They have all kinds of film and skins for every phone.

I agree. What a difference.
I used to remove the pre-installed screen protectors on my previous phones, but I too, was a bit scared of ruining this massive 7.2" screen when I first got it.
This is bigger than the previous phones, and this was certainly more expensive than the previous phones.
If you are careful with your phones, I would say you should be fine from all these unwanted scratches.
Some people are so careless, they even put their keys in the same pocket as their phones, and they complain about their phones getting damaged.
For the person saying the M-pen is scratch your screen protector, please remember that this pre-installed screen protector is still only plastic. the tip of the M-Pen is plastic. it IS going to scratch.
Lastly, the number one thing ANY of these screen protectors CANNOT beat, whether it be a film, or tempered glass screen protector, is the oleophobic coating these phones now come with. It was great a few years back, it is even better today.
Minimal fingerprints, and the fingertip gliding feel is unmatched.
I think people should keep some sort of screen protector - either the pre-installed film which IMHO is very good, or a 3rd party film or a tempered glass. Most tempered glass products nowadays are very good and protect the actual screen from scratches. And feels premium too. My AmazingThing tempered glass - so called Supreme Glass, feels nice finger glides smoothly and feel cool to touch too.
I'm sure many boast that they never had scratches after long time of use, but I am sure the scratch marks WILL be there when looked carefully.
Protecting an expensive device is a logical decision.
But sure, to each their own.
Had my factory protector on for the first 4 months or so, then removed it, and it has been 2 months without any screen protector.
The screen feels and looks better.
On hindsight I might have removed it on day 1.
The problem remains that the touch sensing is just laggy, jerky, and glitchy. No difference with or without protector.
Do scrolling tests beside an iPhone to see the difference.

S10 InvisiShield Glass Screen Protector

I have received this screen protector and though I would share my thoughts on this product for anyone who may be interested in this product or brand.
First off, installation is easy with little room for error as there are 2 glass screen protectors included, and 4 adhesive bottles. Once installed, the screen protector has a really nice natural glass feel. It is compatible with any Samsung protective cases (I currently have the Samsung leather case) however, any other case my or may not be compatible.
The screen protector is responsive and compatible with the fingerprint touch ID, and results with little to minor smears.
A minor setback for me personally is the screen doesn't cover the whole display (vertically). There is about an inch or so of excess room on the bottom of the display which really annoyed me when I swipe up from the bottom of the display.
Overall, this glass screen protector is a better alternative to the more expensive glass screen protectors out there and gets the job done.
