Yup

Considering that I have a 3 year old brat and a big fat slippery hand, yes I would definitely put on a screen guard

Yes I always have one on every device that I own. I prefer tempered glass, so lets hope that someone makes one thats good quality for it.

Nope, haven't used screen protectors in more than two years. They take away the premium feel of the screen. Gonna get me a case though, since I will be carrying it around in bags an such

Anyone tried one of those spray-on screen protectors?
I remember linustechtips did a review on one with impressive results. I think it was called Liquid Armor.

Tried that Crystal spray on on my phone, did not notice any difference. Phone still got scratched .
I won't be using a Screen protector on the Nexus 9, currently have the tab S 8.4 and i use it without a SP. Screen feels so much better without that plastic on top.

I am not one for film screen protectors, but I do like the glass screen protectors

I guess the good thing about a glass protector for the Nexus 9 is that you don't have to worry about the sunken button effect that you'd get on an ipad.
Are there any for sale yet for the Nexus 9 ?

There's several hands-on videos that comment on how much glare the Nexus 9 puts out. You think any of these tempered glass screens could help reduce glare?

No idea..... Most likely will not but you never know...
Also the glass screen protector has been shipped as of this morning

I had the same question too.. The only company that claims to have anti-glare coating and a tempered glass screen protector is BodyGuardz. I talked to them earlier and they had no plans to release a Nexus 9 version, nor they have a UK presence.
Also, I havent seen many out yet (which makes sense) but there are a few on amazon. I was wondering if you came across any 'good brand' tempered glass screen protectors I can order now and hopefully will also help in reducing glare.

Need a Screen protector [Plastic or glass]

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.

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Co...80688022&sr=8-17&keywords=honor+8+screen+full

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.

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.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Msv...oth-Matte-Cover-Hard-PC-Back/32749624891.html

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

May I know which tempered glass screen protector I should order ?

May I know which tempered glass screen protector I should order from eBay or Amazon.ca which will attract less finger print?

There are not any really good ones because of the curved screen. You either are going to have it peel a bit on the edges or the screen protector will be cut well short of the sides.
I went with this film one and although I wanted glass I am happy with it

This is the one I am using after trying several different tempered glass. It's not edge to edge but since it so thin you can barely see the gap. The best part is no halo effect and it's super responsive.

Here's a review on youtube

I'm on my second Brotect. Didn't like them the first time around but they have grown on me. I don't think they'd offer as much impact protection as a thicker tg, but they also fit and look better on a 2.5d screen.

Amazon Mr Shield For Huawei Mate 9

I have the newest Nillkin and it is a bit oversized, which leaves a halo around the edges. Not bad when the screen is on, but very noticeable when the screen is dark. That being said, it did save my bacon this morning. I dropped my phone from about 4 foot up(bobbled the catch) straight onto concrete... it landed on a corner and fell flat on the face. The screen protector did it's job and saved the display. The protector now has a very nice diagonal crack running the entire width, but it still works. Unfortunately, it means I need to buy a new one as Nillkin only provides one in the package. So it is off to Amazon to order my old standby, the SuperShieldz

I installed a Cafele glass screen protector the first day i got my Mate 9 and didn't had to replace it in a year.
It's a bit oversized, so it covers the edges, and comes with a liquid that fills the ait bubbles.
You don't really see them anymore.

None of the tempered glass I bought fits to the mate 9. So I took " hydrogel" screen protector on aliexpress and it fits perfect !

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.
Sent from my Essential PH-1 using Tapatalk

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

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!

Does the OnePlus 6 come with a screen protector pre-applied?

I've watched at least 5 unboxing videos now and while every video seems to show a pre-applied screen protector on the phone, not a single person in the videos have commented on it or blatantly showed them removing it.
The initial unboxing/review videos seem to all agree that the OnePlus 6 comes with a smoke clear TPU case in the box. So if it does have a pre-applied screen protector, that means you'd essentially have full protection right out of the box, which is pretty awesome!
Just curious to hear from those who may have unboxed one or someone from OnePlus to hear whether or not a screen protector is already applied or not. I know it won't be tempered glass but it's better than nothing. hing.

Yes, it comes with a pre-applied screen protector
www.oneplus.com/6/specs
In the box
1x OnePlus 6
1x Screen Protector (pre-applied)
1x Translucent Case (we recommend assembling the protective case from the bottom)
1x OnePlus Fast Charge Type-C Cable
1x OnePlus Fast Charge Power Adapter
1x SIM Tray Ejector

Awesome!
I also just confirmed the same in this video @ 9:30
https://youtu.be/ES-s9KQrUTY?t=574
^ It's actually really cool to see the entire process.

To add, I'm still using the 5T preinstalled protector. It's already scratched up for me but it's applied so well and pretty decent quality, unsure why everyone doesn't pre-apply it.

The pre-applied screen protector and included case is probably one of the nicest things a manufacturer can do for its customers, especially when its service network is not very developed. Not to mention that the included case looks pretty good from what I have seen, plus the screen protector looks to be very well applied.

I got the standard flexible you case and the screen protector applied. It's done as part of the manufacturing process. Video by Linus tech tips gives really good insight at their factory

So you don't need to buy the 40$ protection bundle since it already comes with case and screen protector ?

Most probably not, but again the screen protector and case can scratch more easily than the premium stuff. My case is already scratched up at the back, so I ordered another one from Amazon.

The cheap case is very thin and might protect your phone from say a 4 foot drop where it might only survive 3 feet 6 inches without it. For me, it's just a bridge until I can get a proper rugged case, probably in a month or two minimum.

My phone arrived this morning with the Nylon Bumper Case. I must say that I'm absolutely loving the Nylon case. And the pre-applied protector is pretty darn good. Nice and smooth, like glass. Overall it is installed very well. The pre-applied protector isn't sticking around the very tips of each corner, but it will do the job until I decide which direction to go with a tempered glass protector in the next couple of weeks.
I'm still considering ordering the OnePlus tempered glass protector but a few people have reported that it is extremely difficult to apply properly and a couple people have mentioned that the oleophobic coating on it is practically nonexistent.
Regardless, it's really nice to see a phone manufacturer providing a pre-installed screen protector out of the box. Saves us from wasting money on poor quality glass screen protectors that just happen to have made it to market before the good stuff. Kudos to OnePlus for that!

Yep. got my OP6 yesterday and it has the pre-applied protector. It will definitely do the job until I figure out which tempered glass protector is best, over the coming weeks. Very pleased to have full protection right out of the box. Especially since I'm leaving for a 9 day vacation tomorrow and didn't want to rush into buying some lower quality protection, simply because it came to market before the good stuff.

Yes, the OnePlus comes with a pre-applied screen protector! The quality is good, but dust fill the edges of this protector so I have removed it...
The OnePlus 6 comes also with a TPU case

Guys what is quality of stock screen protector? Shall I put my original OnePlus tempered glass?
