These are German made hybrid screen protectors made of anti-shock plastic substrate and tempered glass. Have used them on a few other devices and they are excellent. Slightly pricey as they are German made but definitely worth checking out. Just ordered mine today. They also include a protector for the back in the package.

As of now, I've ordered a few screen protectors, the full coverage ones found on ebay, which seems to affect touch functionality and the cheaper standard tempered glass protectors.
Waiting for the FX Glass protectors to arrive. Will update when I receive it.
Do let me know when anyone already has these.
I ordered a "full cover" one with the black border. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQLV04B)
I does not look promising. Reviews say its only sticky around the edges, so sensitivity is an issue.
I can't understand why there are no standard style protectors available.
That hybrid one looks closest to them, and seems promising.
THINK this is just another ordinary "not full coverage" glass.

The hybrid as the name suggests is a hybrid between plastic and glass. This makes the film as flexible as a plastic film but the layer which you touch is glass, hence very high resistance to scratches. They claim 8H and I have bought their protector for another device earlier and I can say from experience that its great! And its German made! And apparently they have very positive reviews everywhere. I just happened to know about them recently, maybe because I used to buy those cheap 3-4dollar tempered glass films from China which would do the job and were usually as good as the more expensive ones for "flat" displays.
I still haven't received any of the screen protectors I've ordered for the mix. But from what users are saying on this forum, the full-coverage version with the black borders are pretty much unusable due to poor touch. And the regular tempered glass ones cover just the viewing area. But I guess this is already a very well known fact that its hard to find full coverage tempered glass protectors for 2.5D curved displays. Almost every screen protector which promise full coverage only has adhesives around those borders and the glass barely touches the display which causes a significant loss in touch functionality.
Even the Atfolix protector only covers the viewing area. But what makes them different from the cheap regular tempered glass is resistance to shock. Most regular tempered glass protectors crack during shock. But these being hybrids are more resistant to shocks.

What does that mean?
It doesn't cover the bottom camera bezel?

As far as what I've read, it covers the bezel around the camera. But the protector is cut slightly smaller than the display glass meaning its not a full-coverage type protector. This is most likely done to ensure that the protector adheres properly to the 2.5D display glass.
So it does cover the bezel area but doesn't reach the rounded edges of the display. Hope this helps.
I have received a case and screen protector today and have uploaded pictures here. Have more cases coming in and will update as I receive them.
Hope you can also help by posting photos of the case and screen protector you are using in that thread. It will help other buyers.
Cheers!
@satishp Any updates with that screen cover?

Haven't received them yet. They shipped it via a slow shipping service called PostNL.
I can recommend this full coverage protector I got from ebay though.
No newton rings, no issues with touch and its a perfect fit.
Ebay Item: 172369729447
This is based on my own experience with the item. As long as you perfectly install the protector, you shouldn't have any issues at all.
I have already posted photos here with the protector applied. Check it out.
I wonder why isn't there a full screen glass cover for the mix. The screen is curve at the edges but manufacturers should be able to do this right?

There are full coverage protectors like the one I've recommended above. If you're referring to fully transparent full coverage protectors, I guess they dont make them because it shows those air gaps around the borders when applied to a 2.5D curved display like the one on the Mix. The ones with the black borders dont show this and are preferred by most users. Its better than seeing those ugly air gaps which arent uniform.
I did try that one you are referring to but I had to return it because of the rainbow effect and touch issues. ho well.

I guess there are a few variants of the screen protector coming from different factories. This is why I specifically mentioned the Ebay Item ID. I do not get any issues with this one. I ordered two of them. Had to dispose off one as I noticed some stubborn dust stuck under the first one.
Applied the second one now.
I can confirm that I don't see any newton rings (rainbow effects), no issues with touch functionality either. I didn't experience these issues with the first one either.
Ok. Good to hear, I would like to have an all clear instead of having black adages and bottom chin. If one exist.

Unfortunately a transparent full-coverage one doesn't exist due to the edge-less design. If you have used transparent tempered glass screen protectors on devices with 2.5D curved screens before, you may have noticed that the corners don't adhere to the screen causing a border of air to form around the protector.
This is the reason why full-coverage protectors have colored borders around the viewing area. It hides those ugly air gaps around the display.
There are transparent protectors available. The Atfolix Glass protector is a transparent one, higher quality than the regular Chinese tempered glass protectors. But it doesn't cover the whole display like all the other transparent protectors available for the Mix.
I understand that, but what I was saying is that they could make them without the black edges and leave it all crear.
Xiaomi's original tempered glass
I bought Xiaomi original tempered glass but now in the middle of my screen I have like an oily colored stain. Of course it's not oil but I think there is air between my screen and the tempered glass. Doesn't the tempered glass contain holes for the sound? I hope it's not my screen. But when I turn of my device I can see it too so I really think it's the tempered glass. Need a new one! Ordered one so we'll see.

Is it covering the active part of the display completely? If not you normally have a halo effect on the left and right side of the protector. With the Mix maybe on the top side too. If the product pictures are real it is not. But well, if it is i'll order one too. The fullscreen ones i've tested are crap.

I've tried the Raugee and the Imak protector. Both show the same effect. The problem is that these fullscreen protectors only stick on the edges. The air layer between the display glass and the protector causes this oily rainbow effect. Depending on the phones and the surroundings temperature it's more or less visible.

I wish...
My AT&T Note 4 is one of those "steep" curved black models and the top and bottom of the iVisor sticks (well 70% of it), and the side adhesive doesn't touch the phone's glass at all.
Sure it doesn't halo, but the sides don't adhere, leaving a gap for dust and general pocket "stuff" to get under the screen protector.
Also, the capacitive buttons became more annoying to use with the Moshi iVisor vs just your typical PET film. At least in my experience, not completely sure why tbh.
Ended up with a Zagg HDX, which does adhere with my phone's ridiculous screen curvature. Not bad but not glass, oh well. At least the AT&T store allowed me to return it :crying:
Can't we apply a second screen protector beneath the Moshi iVisor?
Also, do you have pictures of this protector installed on the Note 4?

I suppose you could, the adhesive only does around the edge of the iVisor.
I don't have pictures of it installed but I do of the bottom after a million installs, it's dirty on the bottom simply due to my stupidity in cleaning it and using a microfiber to dry instead of following the directions. My fault on the dirty-ness entirely, I even showed the AT&T rep and he said not to worry.
The AT&T store already took it back without any issues and refunded me the $48 + tax, so I'm fine. Granted not satisfied but for now the Zagg will have to do. For the record, the crying emoticon was for the fact it wasn;t as perfect as I had wished, not the I couldn't return it... my error in placing it there.
These pictures I took to send to my brother anyways showing the adhesive and how the screen curves, bear in mind, it's flat, just that the top of the glass is curved, so it in itself is 2.5D or whatever the term is but it's still a flat sheet of glass, therefore, for those of us special Note 4 owners with really curvy screens, we're still out of luck.

Does the iVisor glass stick to the actual display area of the Note 4 or just float in the air?
Thanks, I'm thinking about ordering one too. I might try without regretting. Is there some adhesive on the bezel sides as well?

I believe that the actual screen/display area does not stick at all with the Moshi. The only thing that sticks are the top, bottom and the actual thin sides.
I worry about the rainbow effect like with the Defender's built in screen protector.
The AT&T store wants $48. plus tax.
Here we go again. Smh..
Can't you buy and return if it doesn't fit right? You might as well order from Moshi's website. At least they have a 30-day return policy even for opened items. They have that satisfaction guarantee policy.

I'll buy it at the AT&T store in the morning and if it turns out to be crap I'll just get a refund there in the next day or so. Looks like a great idea but I'm worried about no adhesives behind the actual glass display areas.:silly:
Definitely take some pictures while you're at it.
If there is no adhesive behind the actual tempered glass in the display area, I might first install a regular PET Screen Protector that has full edge to edge coverage like the XtremeGuardz (6-Pack for $3 on eBay) and then overlay the PET film with the Moshi. At least that will even the coverage out. According to Moshi, their tempered glass is more rigid than Zagg's, Iloome's, and Otterbox; and I actually believe them.
Here are the screen protectors in my possession right now:
Otterbox Alpha Glass (being Returned for Refund)
Zagg Glass, Revised (Keeping as backup), costed me $14.29
Zagg HDX (Keeping as backup), costed me $13.60
iLoome Flex (Keeping as backup), costed me $19.99
Spigen Crystal PET Screen Protectors 3-Pack ($9.99)
6-Pack XtremeGuardz HD PET Screen Protectors ($2.99)- Excellent Coverage
6-Pack Supershieldz PET Screen Protectors ($4.99)- Coverage is so-so
1x Otterbox Commuter PET Screen Protector - Included with Purchase
*Italics denote that these purchases were negligible.
Tomorrow, I will be making the final decision between the Commuter and Defender Series cases, depends on what the fitment of the replacement case.

I'm going to pick one up in the morning and see what it's all about.
If the edges stick real good it would be perfect for the Otterbox commuter as It's rubber edges will seal the whole thing up nice.
I'll be the Guinea Pig and pick one up in the morning and give it a whirl.
This looks like the edge to edge screen protectors for iPhones; probably have the same "feature". The colored part has no glue and simply floats over the curved edge of the screen. This is not a curved screen protector; at least for iPhone, this works best for those wanting a thin case as the glass will float over the case making it seem more seamless. For those going naked, this will be very annoying.
I guess this will be good for those (like me) that really wanted to put a tempered glass screen protector along with the built in screen protector on the Defender Series case, but couldn't so. Definitely keep us posted, especially with pictures.

Kinda reminds me of built in screen protector found in the Otterbox Defender series case. Otterbox really failed this time around, and perhaps this might be a viable solution for me.

In the first picture I posted, I tried to catch that, so I may not have, but yes there is adhesive on the sides as well, which due to my Note's ridiculous curvature, didn't adhere, letting dust and all the general pocket dust slide right under the glass.
The glass portion on the screen has absolutely no adhesive, it's ever-so-slightly lifted due to the adhesive around the edges, which is why it never bubbles but can have crud caught under it.
Though, in all fairness, while any Otterbox case for me is an instant "no" (bulk), if you get a case that can essentially bite down on the sides preventing stuff from sliding in under the screen, you may have one hell of a winning combination
Guys, I am currently using the ivisor glass, see post#1880 on the tempered glass topic. Took some pix with 2 cases: samsung protective cover+ and otterbox commuter. The protective cover fits much better. It's like the ivisor was made to fit with the samsung covers. The commuter is a little tight on the 2 sides, corners go over the ivisor. Can't download pix right now cause i don't have cable or sd slot on my work PC to download from my camera. I'll try to upload pix this evening.

This glass only attaches at the top and bottom, not the sides. The glass itself is not curved, thus there will be a gap on both sides. What prevents dust, hair, dirt, lint, etc from getting in between the glass and the phone through these huge openings on both sides?
Thanks!
Greg
A good case like the samsung protective cover+ or cases that have similar fit. No dust so far in the 6 days of use.

In my opinion I would not recommend the ivisor glass for people who do not use case or a case similar to the 2 case that I have tested. I think if you drop the phone and landed on any corner or side it would probably come off with the impact force as there is not enough adhesive surfaces.

Right now all the screen protectors are bad.
Until they come up with a new and improved version, assume all are bad.
I've tried two on Amazon and got the exact same results.

That's the only decent screen protector that fits right now. There's also a matte finish one. It's not tempered glass, but you get 8. The fit is much better than all of the tempered glass ones on Amazon. It's not 100% perfect as tiny bit of the edge don't stick but you won't notice from the distance unlike the current tempered glass.

If any part of a screen protector doesn't stick then all manner of stuff will get stuck in between. For those w/ colored borders, that's not much of an issue but completely clear ones will eventually show all the dust and stuff on it.

The essential screen isn't flat. I don't see a viable glass protector coming. It'd have to be super thin with a really strong adhesive to make it stick to the sides.

Actually much like the iPhone, it's flat until you get to the edge.
If the current round of protectors was 2mm smaller they would fit.
But for me, it doesn't matter.
I'm returning the phone.
There's still a thin bezel on the side that can handle adhesive on it so if they release one with black borders, I'd get it as the black borders won't show the halo effect even if it's not completely stuck on the outer edges. That's what I have on my iPhones. The display area is glass while the borders are plastic so they flex more.

Jus wait for the accessories to start coming out. Sounds like essential is open to 3rd parties making cases and screen protectors... So just got to hold on...this is what it sounded like from the reddit AMA
I have a Sopi 3M matte skin on the back and it helps with the grip a little but not by much... definitely helps w/ the fingerprints though... lol since it's matte, there can be visible smudges from time to time depending on how dirty/sweaty your paws are... I did read the AMA and they should've worked w/ case manufacturers long before release. I understand they want to keep it close to their vest until release (as to not tip off the competition) but they didn't ship the phone until much later than they said they would so in that time they could've sent out the outside schematics/dimensions to case manufacturers. No excuse!
The situation is the same for any devices that have curved edges. I'm not sure why companies just don't apply adhesive to the whole screen protector. A solution is using UV glue on a glass screen protector that isn't fully covered with adhesive. I've used the Whitedome on my Galaxy S8+ and it works really well. You should be able to buy the UV glue and UV lamp from Amazon and apply it to any glass screen protector. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KZmF8uQESI
Hey guys I'm planning to buy the Nilkin 3D CP+ screen protector for my OnePlus 6 and I am hoping those of you who are already using it will share your experience with me.
My first concern is regarding the black borders on the sides, how much screen area do they eat up? Also does the border on the notch, make it look thicker?
The official TG glass from OnePlus is really overpriced in my country, so I'm really hoping the Nilkin one can be the next best alternative. Tia.
The main problem for me of the nillkin was that the glass is very thin. It broke when I was trying to separate a little bit from the screen to adjust it better.
It fits properly and yes, it takes a little bit of the screen with the borders, but not as much as other screen protectors.
In my opinion, and it's based on my experience, the most balanced is the orzly. It's the most similar to the Oneplus official one of those that I've tried.
I've had this one but it broke on the sides. The edges float above the glass because the adhesive only covers the screen. Because the glass is thin these edges beak quite easily. I currently have the normal tempered glass H (not the h+) this glas doesn't cover the edges, but there are no black borders that cover any part of the display. I've had I'd on for about 3 months know and I'm really pleased with it. No bubble's no cracks and quite good oleophobic coating. Also because this one is thicker than the h+ pro it doesn't break as easily. I have it alligned perfectly, maybe it makes a difference.
I have one of these that I bought through amazon through a Nillkin page. the black boarder definitely covers a bit of the screen. a bit of the notch boarder covers the screen. If you move it up so that there's no black from the notch border you'll cut off quite a few pixels off the bottom making it very hard to use gesture based controls. I had a problem with air bubbles, the ones near the top corners went away naturally, the 2 at the bottom 2 corners refuse to go away even after adjusting them and applying pressure for over 5 minutes. It's not a problem with the case as there's a very slim edge separating the glass from the case (Tudia 2 part case). Depending on how much you're spending on it I wouldn't recommend it, I paid $16CAD and I have buyers remorse I can't recommend this protector to anyone. There's no damage/cracks/halo effects after 2 weeks of usages, so that's a plus. I've ordered the dbrand prism screen protector, I'm hoping it'll be the same size minus the black borders.
The best one is Omron tempered glass. They came in a set of two. Nillkin hides some of the screen. Omron doesn't.
Thank you all for your response I won't buy the Nilkin glass since it breaks so easily. It's a shame OnePlus 6 has such a huge incompatibility with budget 5D/6D tempered glasses. Spending 18 quid on the official doesn't make any sense cause it too will break after a fall which can happen anytime.

I haven't seen these. The only Omron I've found make medical instruments.
Nillkin 3d CP Max is poor glass. It is to small for screen and cuts some screen part in up. I don't recommend this glass.
Yeah, but where can we find Omron glass for OP6?

Nillkin CP+Max Tempered Glass Review
Consider this my review of the Nillkin CP+Max Oneplus 6 Tempered Glass
Bought from Nillkin's Aliexpress official store.
Overall I am satisfied(I knew pretty much all of the problems listed below when i bought it).
Keep in mind when viewing the photos I have installed the glass as much to the top as the case lets me(Practically the glass and the case touch at the top.Maybe if I had another case I wouldn't have even more of the notch cutting in, but that is another story)
Pros:
- Very nice quality glass with excellent touch feeling.Perfect oleophobic coating compared to 1-3$ tempered glasses. Worth the extra dollars for this reason only!
- Fits with rhinoshield crashguard case(you have to install the glass while wearing the crashguard case and not the one oneplus provides!)
- Edge to edge cover(as much as it can be, as the sides of the phone have a small curve)
Cons:
- The black borders around the edge are too thick on every side. This results to having about 0.5 to 1mm of screen pixels covered at all times,which is especially visible in the notch area,which cuts even more inside the screen. Also visible on the bootloader screen where text starts from the very left of the screen and half the first letter is hidden.While in normal app use you never see text that far to the side to make it a huge problem,it some times shows in 21:9 videos on youtube fullscreen. It seems this is a problem every tempered glass with black borders has. Not only Nillkin's!
- A portion around the edges,beneath the black border doesn't have adhesive. (I think this is because the phone's glass starts to curve there making it impossible for adhesive to stick,so they don't put adhesive right there)
Maybe Nillkin should make the borders thinner in the future and also have them in a lower layer of the glass,so it doesn't look like a window.
Which one do you recommend for the S10e? Right now I'm still using the default protector which was applied by Samsung, but I don't really like it.
i ordered one on ebay but i have a feeling it's flat not edge to edge full cover for 10e. They use generic photoshopped stock photo for all 3 models and claim it's curved. I think 10e has 2.5D edge. Not completely flat. I'm also using the garbage thin film they included. For $800 scumsung could include high quality glass and case. I also ordered glass for rear cameras. Never seen or used one before. Not sure what to expect.
tried ESR tempered glass and MP mall tempered glass from amazon
both do not stick on side, ESR is off by like 0.75 mm because of 2.5D curve of glass, it does not stick on side. so dont waste your money on these two, i am still looking for one may be just a bit smaller than ESR.
temporarily ordering a film protector till i find a tempered glass which fits right.
I'm using the PureGear HD Clear Tempered Glass Screen Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7S174H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_byaHCbZY5Q1N0
It only has adhesive on the edges so there is no bubbles. It is case friendly and is a decent alternative to the whitedome which remains the superior choice for the 2.5D screens.

how is touch sensitivity and does is create rainbow effect like some tempered glass with adhesive on side do?
Keep in mind aftermarket screen protecters (especially glass ones) will have problems with the fingerprint reader.
Im using the samsung one for now until some testing and revising is done
No rainbow effect and if you increase touch sensitivity in the settings it works great. I have no real complaints.
which non-glass protector do you guys recommend?

That's only for bigger models. S10E finger scanner is on the side.

Why is there a lip or Ridge around perimeter of screen of galaxy s10e
Does anybody know why there is a lip or Ridge around the edges of Galaxy S10e screen it's almost looks like a screen protector has been applied from the factory

Yes, that's exactly what you are seeing. The S10e does indeed have a factory installed plastic screen protector. You can really feel it around the camera as there's a cutout for the camera. I would expect it to scratch rather quickly, plus I don't think it provides nearly as much drop protection as a tempered glass one might.
I'm following along here hoping that there does wind up being an economical tempered glass screen protector that works well and doesn't life at the edges. Seems like this will be similar to my S7, where I was never really able to find something that works and just went naked.
Thank you for the response I've just been so confused with everyone saying the S10 and S10+ have one but not the S10e. I think you're right it is just a polyurethane plastic protector. And just a heads up I tried to apply a tempered glass protector over top of it and it definitely made it hard for the edges to stick.

I had the same confusion. All of the media I've seen say the pre-installed one is only on the S10 and S10+, but if you look around the camera on the S10e, there's clearly a cutout that confirms there is a pre-installed screen protector on there. I'm still not exactly sure how to get it off. I picked around the edges a bit and nothing is coming up easily.
I'm not sure how well the edges of a tempered glass one will stick even if you took off the pre-installed one. I haven't seen any reports of an economical one that works yet. I think I'm going to be in the same boat as I am with my S7 and be forced to go without one.

If anyone looking for decent glass. This brand is good to go, but expensive. Might wait out a little.

my factory installed screen protector is starting to show some scratches and wear. Getting near desperate trying to find a good affordable screen protector for the s10e
I ordered an Alinsea glass protector from amazon, sounds like a knock off of a Whitestone from their description. It doesn't have a cut out for the front facing camera, which is great, as a cut out just seems to collect pocket lint. I have not received it yet.

I got one. First time doing an install of this type and given the barebones installation tools provided, it was above average difficultly. First one ended up with bubbles.
I brought a spigen hybrid clear case today and am looking for a tempered glass without the black border around it as the border cuts off a little of the screen. Please recommend one, for delivery in India

I tired multiple ones either their too big and causes halo effect or too small , so i opted for ones with black border and i am happy with it and so i would suggest goto a local shop check it out so you can see size .
I bought multiple screen protectors but gadgetshieldz offered amazing screen protector. Yes it is not tempered glass but its quality is really good and the phone feels slimmer since its not a tempered glass. If you dont have butter fingers and your phone doesnt fall often then go for it.
I tried all the variants and brands on the market. Finally settled on using a hydrogel screen protector. It is not available on any online stores but local shops definitely have them. Though it may not provide the drop protection that glass protectors provide, it is resistant to scratches and you will not even know it's there. It covers the front from edge to edge. Again, it is not very high on shatter level protection but it is great for light users like me.

I don't think a thin plastic protector should be worth 500 bucks

Try looking for TG's for Lenovo Z5 Pro/Z5 Pro GT.
It have the same dimensions as our device.
I purchased one from glazedinc. It costs about 495, I know it'a a bit steep, but for what it's worth it covers the entire display and has real 2.5d on the edges. It really feels like using the phone without a tampered glass. From what I heard as it covers the entire screen it also provides better drop protection.
I got one from a local shop for Rs.80 ($1.10). No black borders, covers the screen display portion exactly.
