Need a Screen protector [Plastic or glass] - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I hate to ask this question again, but it's really hard to find a screen protector that goes from edge to edge. This kind doesn't protect the whole screen.
Does anyone have a screen protector that goes from edge to edge? I don't care if it's plastic or glass, but hopefully, it's on amazon as I am trying to get one in the next few days instead the next few months. {Looking at you chinese sellers of ebay.}
I have this case by TPU Gel.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I didn't know that of glass protectors. How long does it take for the glass to break down from the corners?
I have only used a screen film or the plastic protectors once on my last phone for two years, and it held up quite well. But it did start to lose a layer or two of the screen protector after heavy use. But I don't mind this at all, I just need something to protect the phone and I'll replace it after another two years if I am still using said phone.

I am still looking for suggestions from people who has already bought protective screens for their Honor 8.

Isn't this the same thing as the two links below? Hopefully not, those reviews aren't that good. I saw that your link was posted before in another thread. I may just buy it as well, but I don't want to be without a protector for over a month.

if u buy edge to edge u'll get it bricked fast cause it will be raised out of edges !if ur phone fall in any side it will brick ,
it should have small gap like couple millimeters before edge

I don't use plastic films since I know de glass protectors. Plastic films can't protect of a fall or big scratches. And it's very unconfortable !
With the glass : really good protection, the touch is very comfy, and the scratches even the big ones can't does anythig to the screen. BUT, when we have a screen like the one of the Honor 8 (it's called 2.5D, it's a bit curved) you can't have protection on the extremes edges cos they can't do a curved glass.
Sorry for my bad english.

I'm using a plastic film protector because the glass protectors cannot cover the entire screen.
I received mine with my Nilkin cover and have had it on for about a month and so far the scratches that are on it are very superficial and cannot be seen when the screen is on (and barely when it is off).
It's not as good as glass when it comes to scratch resistance but it sure does the job well.
Beware of cheap protectors as they wear out quicker according to my experience.

Would you mind providing a link to the place that you bought the protective film at? Also, could you take a couple of photos of it as well. All I could find is this and https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Ni...481037882&sr=8-16&keywords=honor+8+nillkinfor our phone, but they are both glass.

Thanks for the reply and no worries about your lack of English. I could totally understand you. Do you have a case for your phone and if so, which one? Does your case plus the phone cover the whole phone?

Buy this one. It is supposed to be soft and should cover the whole screen. Mine got delivered to the wrong address so I am ordering it again. The glass protectors are absolutely crappy for 2.5d edges. Https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...i-explosion-screen-protector/32723814105.html
Get this case as well. I have it currently and its awesome. Doesn't add to the bulk and looks perfect on the phone. A lot better than the tpu one I ordered earlier.

Plastic is cheaper to bulk buy and if it scratches or the ends peel off it can be replaced, glass can crack easily depending on how much you're willing to spend on a screen protector and the brand name

I actually bought the cover and received a plastic screen protector with it. Here's the link: NILLKIN super frosted shield case for huawei Honor 8 case back cover case with 1 screen protector as gift
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/32700318450/32700318450.html
I've attached a picture of the screen protector.

+1 for the Nilkin glass screen protector Doesn't quite cover edge to edge and about 1.5mm aren't fully adhered around edge leaving a bit of that 'halo' effect, but it doesn't bother me. Screen is well protected, the small gap is really just cosmetic.
Currently using it with This. The front edge is raised quite a bit so can't feel the edge of the screen protector at all.

So i received it today and I've put it now. It looks very cool. But unfortunately I put it a little bit wrong. Delivery time was around 20 days. I'm really happy

I think they just mean that the glass shards won't go everywhere if the glass breaks. it will stay intact. No flying shards etc.
looks really cool. please post pics after you get it and let us know how you like it

would be interested to see the results as well.
Unfortunately, they sent me the wrong color. I was asking for black instead of gold. I'm now trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle in exchanging.
My Coolreal tempered glass screen protector arrived today from Amazon. The quality looks really good, and it will definitely cover the entire screen. My only concern is that it appears the adhesive is only on the gold border and not the center of the screen. Haven't put it on my wife's S6 yet.
UTLK Galaxy S6 Screen Protector HD Clear Tempered Glass
I couldn't wait for the others to test these, so I bought the white version from UTLK on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WOA5HM0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Just installed it and it looks interesting, I mean its different from other glass protectors I have used before on my phones. but this definitely covers the whole screen and bezel, there is a little haloing as you see in the pics but they are disappearing. There screen protector quality attracts a bit of smudging which is not common in high quality glass. Overall I think its a good option at the price.
I installed one on my wife's phone last night. Results were good, some slight haloing around the edges as well. Hopefully they will disappear.

Thanks for the photos and mine has some haloing too. Going to wait a few days and might try out the UTLK brand if the haloing does not go away.
I got that one from Amazon an like the others there was a little haloing but I had to remove it as my tech21 case was pushing the protector off every time I press a side button... now I'm using those smaller protectors but I think I will end up with a plastic one... (I like my case ok?! heheheh)

i had the same exact problem with the Spigen hybrid case. i decided to send back the case and hope that the Diztronic case doesn't have the same issue as i really like the Collreall protector.
Does anyone know of one of these Edge to Edge screen covers that has adhesive on the screen as well and not just the edges?

The one I removed had adhesive on the screen. No problems with touch.
The one I just applied has adhesive on the screen. (And also as much halo as the last protector I had )
Ah, OK I wasn't sure these had adhesive on the screen or not, thought that maybe had something to do with the halo. Oh well.

Tempered glass screen protector

Just ordered a 6x, do someone know something about a good tempered glass screen protector?
Is the screen flat or curved on the edges?

Mine came with some kind of screen protector already stuck on the screen. Also seems to be fairly stubborn to remove, did anyone else's come delivered with it?
Would prefer to have a tempered one, but the one currently on there seems to be made of glass already.

It's probably a plastic PET screen protector, which has really strong glue on it. I doubt Honor would supply their devices with a tempered glass screen protector straight out the box.
My must arrive on Monday, I hope that there will be a protection like on yours..
Edit:
Arrived today and there is a sort of hard protection on the display, not glass but probably policarbonate, invisible.

Ordered a tempered glass screen protector from nilkin.org, but after paying i noticed the payment going to some russian name, but nilkin is asian as far as i know.
Also, some reviews on google classify this website as a fake / scam.
So for now, avoid nilkin.org.
The official website doesnt list any honor 6x support, so i'll have to wait and see if what gets delivered actually fits, if it even arrives/was sent at all.
i bought the mr shield
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M74TFP9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
didnt like it at all.
if you notice the plastic one that the phone came with it does not cover the screen completely { about 1mm on each side }.
mr shield is exactly the same. makes the phone look bad. im returning this and waiting for someone to make the screen protector correctly

mine had tempered glass on it already..so no issue faced for this
If you're talking about the screen protector from the factory, it's not glass, just a plastic. It's a finger print magnet for sure too. I ordered one of the newer styles that just came on Amazon. Will update with my thoughts when I comes in in a day or so.

Mine was gifted by Huawei in China and had tempered glass.
Does it leave big gaps around the edges or is it more of a full edge style?

More gaps at edges
Got this one in the mail today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MU7Y0EG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_40KIyb6NMD2N9
I wanted to try a more edge to edge one and this one is really close. But you do get the raised edges as the curved glass starts. I will see how much it collects dust and probably remove it. It's my wife's phone so she probably won't like it.

Update:
The screenprotector just came in and is the correct one. Unfortunately the same problem persist with the 2.5d glass, the protector doesn't go edge to edge.
So, nillkin.org seems to be legit (enough) to order from. The screen protector box just used a variation on the name 'honor 6x', namely 'Huawei Mate 9 Lite GR5 2017', which is apparently the same phone .
Do not buy
DO NOT BUY.
just got this one from amazon today
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MR65JJD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it broke during installation, the slightest movement destroys it. the material is not really good at all.
i have a TUDIA Slim-Fit HEAVY DUTY case and the protector and there is a small gap between the case and the screen protector.
if the installation would have been successful, doubt it would last more than a day .
gotta keep looking
another do not buy...
the toshion screen protector.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M2BM9H4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
does not even cover the screen , box reads 6x but i dont think its for a 6x or they really messed up their measurements
use this from amazon.in

Get a camera lens protector, before it's too late

The protruded camera lens design is always a disaster waiting to happen. Simple day to day activity can scratch/crack the lens. But looks like this is the design trend with most manufacturers these days.
I have purchased a protector for my lens, and it is working well so far.

So it does not fit.
So mine is cracked now. Anyone been able to find a replacement glass lens?
I totally agree with this. I'm very gentle with my devices. I keep them protected and in a pocket that never has anything else in it. My camera lens already has scratches on it. I've never had scratches on any of the device's I've ever owned. Whatever LeEco is using for glass is very soft and easily scratched.
With that said, I would very much like to order a protector, but I'm afraid of waiting another 30 days by shipping it from China to the US.
I've been unable to find any other camera protectors made for this device being sold within the US. Can anyone direct me to others they've found?
I ordered the one from Aliexpress in the OP. Works just fine. However, took about 2 months to actually get it.
Here is what I recommend.
1) Order a SUPER CHEAP screen protector
2) Create a template for the shape of the lens
3) Trace it onto the cheap screen protector
4) use an exacto knife to cut out the shape from the cheap screen protector.
It doesn't even really matter if it fits perfectly as long as the area in front of the lens is protected.

This is a good idea. But the protector better be a tempered glass rather than regular plastic screen protector. Plastic ones would get scratched and might affect picture quality.
On the other hand, you can probably cut out like 20 of these from a single screen protector and change it every week.

Absolutely agree. It could at least be a good solution while someone waits for their protector sent from China. My previous Pro 3 (before the screen shattered and I received a new one) ended up getting a nice scratch on the lens while I waited for my shipment from China. I was super careful, but still scratched it somehow...
Had the tempered glass from Alibaba for a couple months and it has been great. It is the first time I ever bought a screen protector for a phone camera before. No scratch on it so far and it is beveled well enough that I don't feel the rough edges bothering me. I will probably order another just in case since I generally find tempered glass without edge protection to crack relatively easily over time.

Any screen protectors that don't suck?

I just got my essential phone and I'm really honestly digging it. I think that it's a very nice phone that fits my needs well.
However, within a day and a half I have already scratched my screen. Its dead center on the screen and like an inch long Literally got the phone on Saturday and scratched it by Monday early AM. I didn't do anything with the phone besides take it in and out of my pocket. Didn't even make it to work with the phone yet. So I'm pretty upset about that.
I know it's gorilla glass 5, but I have never scratched a phone so quick before. Hell my old phone (Moto X pure) Only had one small scratch after running it for 2.5 years without any screen protection at all, including numerous drops and rough handling.
So I guess a screen protector is a must. I ordered a tudia case and a tempered glass screen protector off Amazon. The screen protector is garbage. I hate it. The edges of the screen protector do NOT stick down, even without the case. The edge all the way around the screen is lifted. It looks terrible.
Are there any screen protectors for this phone that are actually decent? I would rather deal with the chance of more scratches than stare at this awful screen protector with unstuck edges.
Photo of the terrible edges.
I'm curious to know too
I haven't found a good tempered glass for this phone. They all seem to have issues. I've been using the IQ Shield wet install screen protector. Not tempered glass but looks and feels great (almost as smooth as glass), self healing and works with cases if you get the case friendly version.

glass screen protectors are nicer, but they suck on this phone.
I went with wet install plastic in the end because it does the main reason for one, protect from scratches, I'm confident it will.
I just hate the wet install process.
but my experience with glass is it doesn't protect from breaking anyway. any significant hit that would break the screen will break the screen no matter what. I think a bumper case is most effective.
I'm using the this one.

You need to clean your screen really, really, really good before you apply it.
Any oils will show up as a rainbow effect or something close.
I've been using it for weeks now with no lifting with a Tudia case.
Some people say they pop off. That has not been my experience. YMMV

I also use this one. I have actually already gone through 5 of them... It seems like some of them are more sticky than others maybe. Initially I used them without out a case and they would come off all the time, but since I've had the Tudia case 1 fell off and the new one has been on there 3 weeks.
My opinion is they are hit or miss... just hope 1 of 3 is good.

My guess is that these don't stick to the edges as well, but they are black, so you can't see it, therefor they peel off

That is correct, but I have tried a couple of other brands as well and they are all like that. I only continue to buy these because there come as a 3 pack and are like $10.

Manufacturers not that bright?
I use incipio, be careful, the installation instructions are very tricky, I messed up mine while installing, lost 40$
I'm waiting to see if they will send me a new one
So is the Incipio screen protector any good? I don't even care that it's $40, if it sticks down properly without the bubble around the edges I'll buy it.
I am also interested in finding a better screen protector. I have been using the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin, which worked great for a few weeks, but now a corner is peeling up, I assume from pulling it in and out of my pocket. I might go ahead and get another one if I can't find anything better. Would love a tempered glass protector if someone actually makes a decent one!

Where did you purchase? I'm not even seeing it for the Essential PH-1 on the official website....Nevermind, had to do a manual search for our model.

Screen protector - NOT tempered glass but "old school" film

Hello all, I have tried a couple of tempered glass screen protectors; I have also read many many reviews.
It seems that there is no tempered glass protector that would be full screen; fit (most) cases and does not release on the edges for all.
I actually did not mind the screen protector which was installed by 1+ when I got the phone (and I did not like the tempered glass ones I tried).
So I contacted them today asking if I could buy a couple of those. To my biggest disappointment I was advised that although I am not the first one to ask, they do not consider the included screen protector to be a "product" and so they do not sell it even if I wanted a large quantity.
I spent some time researching ebay - but most (nearly all) sellers sell only tempered glass (which I don't want). The few seller that sell films are very expensive ($10+ vs. $1 for the tempered glass). That is also surprising as the cost of the film is much less...
So, my question to you all: who has tried film screen protectors? Where did you get it from and what experience did you have?
Thank you for sharing
I personally use 3MK Flexible glass - its hibrid glass. I use it from years, now on OP6. I think its the best option for any phone

How is the fit on those? Can you possibly snap a pic of it on your phone with a case on as well?

I don't have one installed at the moment, testing a G-Most TPG. But the fit is pretty precise, need patience to get it even on both sides. It's case friendly.

I installed it. its a little bigger than I'd like. if it were maybe 1 cm smaller all around it would be perfect fit. im sure you can align this to fit correctly, but it leaves no room for error. ill try and get a pic.

Hmm, thats not good. Is it equally too big each way or is it just difficult to install totally centered, so its big on one side only?
A pic would help for sure.
I finally found regular PET protectors similar to the OEM ones that fit the phone well and are of good quality. I got them from here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/5X-Ultra-Thin-Tempered-Glass-PET-Soft-HD-Screen-Protector-Film-For-OnePlus-6/163161457336?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=462326426650&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
The adhesive is pretty sticky on them so they don't lift off but it's hard to get them perfectly bubble free. The way I get these on perfect every time is put rubbing alcohol all over the screen then apply the protector and set it in place exactly centered (it's easy to move because of the alcohol) Then lightly push down on it and very lightly push out some of the alcohol so you don't see any bubbles. Then wait five minutes and peel off the front layer then lightly with a small cloth push out the rest of the bubbles. When the alcohol dries (takes about 10-15 mins) it will adhere perfectly and there will be no residue, bubbles or dust under the protector.
I've got an IQshield on my OP6 http://www.iqshield.com/iq32368-oneplus-6-phone-screen-protector.html
I tried a few TG ones and wasn't happy with any. They either didn't stick properly or had the annoying black border. The IQshield is the best protector I've tried.
The best screen protector is the soft nano TPU protectors they sell at ebay or aliexpress for a buck a piece and these cover the whole screen and can be applied wet with some soap and water.

Does it cover the entire screen or leaves a gap at the edges?

I know why you are asking ...Most protectors don't cover the edges well. But this does .
I got this one:
OnePlus 6 Screen Protector, IQ Shield LiQuidSkin Full Coverage Screen Protector for OnePlus 6 HD Clear Anti-Bubble Film
From Amazon.
Accidentally dropped it on a concrete slab that had small gravel and dirt all over it about a week ago. Right out of my pocket. I do have one of those Tudia cases on it with a lip, HOWEVER some of that gravel did hit the glass. Tore up the screen protector in a couple spots. They kind of look like pin pricks but no discernible cracks or knicks in the glass what so ever, and the other scratches to the screen protector went away after rubbing with my fingers.
Talk about a freak out moment.

How is the texture and clarity of the IQ? I got a Skinomi (with has a similar product description) and personally I was not happy with the stretchy texture and less-then-smooth feel when swiping. Also, it seemed to like clarity and almost had small "webs" when looking at it at certain angles. (not bubbles)
