Now that people are starting to receive their phones and accessories from OnePlus, I am very curious to hear people's thoughts on the official tempered glass protector offered from OnePlus.
Specifically, how does it fit with the OEM cases OnePlus offers. Most importantly, does it fit with the thicker OnePlus Bumper cases?
The good news, according to OnePlus's official install video posted on their website, it does look like it fully adheres to the screen.

Looking forward to feedback before I place an order for one to potentially replace the pre-applied plastic screen protector.

I don't get my phone until later today, so I can not confirm until then. But the two different customer service reps I talked to guaranteed the TGP works with the OEM bumper cases. They said the only case it isn't compatible with is the outterbox case.

Looking forward to your results! If it does fit with the OEM bumper case (specifically the Nylon bumper case for me) I'll use my $20 promo voucher to order the glass protector as well.
I will say the preapplied plasic protector surprised me.wkth how good it feels. I usually do a glass protector but once I get my I will probably leave the plasitc on to see how it wears. Be good for the long term review since most on even know it's there at first

Here take a look at this. I''ve just posted it to the official forums to I'll C+P here;

Hi all,
Hope you've not forgotten me! I'm back. I went down to the London launch as I was super excited to see the OnePlus 6 in person and I've now got my hands on the phone and the official tempered glass. So as I have done every year, I'm going to be testing out as many accessories that I can get my hands on, starting with the Official Tempered Glass Screen Protector!
Feel free to watch the video to get all this information, or just scroll down and read it if you prefer!
Some of you wonder why take of the pre-applied factory screen? Well for me, it's all about finding the best protection for your device and from experience the pre-applied screen is not that. It's a nice bonus, as if you're not buying the official you'll have to wait around a week or so before third party manufacturers get screens ready for sale. Mine was also riding slightly high on the screen, which meant using it whilst having gestures turned on was a bit of a nightmare.
As usual the screen protector, comes well packaged, with some excellent tools- most of which you won't need if you're taking the pre-applied screen off and then putting this one on straight away.
The screen protector as with the last few years comes on a single slab of plastic/glass, which you will need to be careful off when you're removing the screen protector from it. I've seen many people CRACK their screen protector at this point. Don't be that person! Go slow, but surely. And for goodness sake once you've peeled it off, don't turn it around and let all the dust particles in your house get on it!
The screen protector fits nicely on the phone and feels pretty decent. High quality!
Postives -
- Feels good
- Looks good
- Fits with the free case
Negatives -
- Finger print magnet - seriously, had it on for a few minutes and it was covered.
- Still has the black border, so you DO still get a 3D effect where you're missing an (admittedly small) portion of your screen
- Hardest OP screen protector I've ever put on.
Let me know if you have any questions on it, and I'll endeavor to keep you all updated on how it functions!
Thanks!
^ Dang! I can't believe how difficult it was for him to remove the bubbles with that protector. And in the end it still had a bubble that kept returning. This sure did make me glad I opted not to pay extra for that tempered glass protector. It's almost as if it doesn't have strong enough adhesive.
Regardless, I plan on sticking with the pre-applied screen protector for a bit before making a decision on a glass protector. In fact, if the pre-applied protector holds up well, I may not ever bother taking it off. I must say that it would be really nice to finally get a phone and never even worry about spending money on a screen protector, or trying to perfectly apply one, for that matter.
I just hope my pre-applied protector isn't positioned too high, as the above video reviewer mentioned his was.
unfortunately my preapplied screen protector is a tiny bit too high for my taste too, so when swiping up with gestures enabled you can feel the slight edge :/
I really hope whitedome is going to bring a TGSP for the OP6 on the market

Thanks for this! Your videos are always great when it comes to these things. Keep up the great work!
Do you think the bit the pops up might simply be just because of the curvature of the screen towards the corner?
(curved screened phones are always a nightmare when it comes to putting screen protectors on). If the underside of the screen protector is curved aswell in order to fit the curved screen of the device, even a fraction of difference can cause these kinds of problems, whereas flat ones you can even get away with them positioned slightly off, and they will always sit down perfectly flat.
Can you confirm whether the curvature of the OnePlus 6's screen is just around the edges, or is it the whole of the front that is actually curved?
(If you see what I mean).
I could be wrong, but from what I can see on the video, it does almost look like it's the whole screen that is rounded and not just the edges (but it's hard to tell from a video, so can't know for sure)

My pre-applied protector only lasted an hour on mine. The edges don't stick enough to avoid random lint and dust from sliding just a bit underneath it. Also the swipe up gestures from the bottom of the phone feel weird as you bump the protector. I'm not sure but I think it's because the protector is a bit thick.

That’s a shame. My phone arrives today and we leave for Mexico tomorrow for a week. I was hoping the pre-applied protector would be perfect. The edges of it are probably going to look like garbage by the time we get back.
the protective film, can not attach clean and then Euro 22, so I can not recommend. Shade for the money

What?
I really like the TGP. It fits seamlessly with the nylon case where the edges go all the way to the case and it feels completely natural. I thought the black outlining would bother me, but it works really well with the phone. I highly recommend the OEM TGP. No issues with it being compatible with the bumper case.
I have read on a Dutch forum that there is only glue on the edges of the screen protector. The middle is coated with some sort of oil so you won't see any bubbles.
This would explain the YouTube video with the corner not sticking. Could somebody confirm this?
This is a problem with all "curved edge" phones. Really makes me wish Samsung did not have as much sway in the market as they do. We would still have flat screens!

The tempered glass screen protector from OnePlus has adhesive throughout the entire protector, not just around the sides. Watch an install video and you'll see.

It wasn't to bad. There were a couple of stubborn small bubbles, but it you press and hold on them for a second or two with the included tool they go right away. I have a completely bubble free TGP that took maybe 2 minutes to put on

Well crap. Now I wish I went ahead and ordered the protector with the phone. Now I've got to get through a week in Mexico with the pre-applied protector and hope it doesn't peel up until I get back.
Ordering the TGSP from OnePlus right now. Thanks for your input.
Just installed it and it looks great in my opinion! Wasn't that hard. If you apply it with the included case on, it helps a ton with lining it up; you literally just need to drop it into place.
I did get a couple pieces of dust underneath but they are super small and hardly noticeable, so I don't want to risk lifting the protector to remove it (risking more dust to get under) (or risking losing adhesion).
It does have a bit of that "3D look" but I got used to it very quick and now I don't notice it.
If there is text way at the edge of the screen, it does slightly get cut off but luckily most apps/websites don't have text that close to the edge.
Overall it's a solid protector and I'm probably going to stick with it until the end of its life (unless it cracks or something of course lol).

Doesn't somebody on here have one? Does it cover the entire screen or does it fall short? Seems like this might be the best one available right now...

Sure just got yesterday. In fact it covers all of the glass portion of the screen. For reference there is no reduction in touch sensitivity with the protector in place.
While I think the cost is high, Martin Fields protectors have always been high quality. This is no exception.
Awesome news! Thanks for the reply!
Is this a thick, flexible protector like Zagg or PhantomSkinz? Also, have you noticed any change in proximity sensor sensitivity?
For reference, I have a PhantomSkinz currently, and when I'm in a dimly lit room and make/take a call, and pull the phone away from my face, it stays blacked out. I have to turn the light on to get it to wake up. I took the skin off, and it went back to normal.
Can you test this if you have the MF protector?
Also, can you please post pics of the screen protector in place? I, too, am wondering about the precision of the fitment. PhantomSkinz, Seidio, and others seem to have missed the mark and cut the protectors to short in width AND height.
Edit: Also looks like the include a piece for the camera cover on the back...? http://www.martinfields.com/US/prod...oogle_Nexus&modeln=Nexus One&prod_type=screen

I originally had a Skinomi protector and never really thought it bad, however I decided I'd try the Martin Fields one because I've never used a static protector.
Looks
I must say I'm thoroughly impressed by this protector! It fits perfectly; well almost perfectly, looking closely, you can still see the edge but it is almost negligible. If I had to gauge how big the space is... maybe about the thickness of a sheet of folder paper... if even that.
Scratching
The protector itself is what seems to be a hard plastic. I haven't scratched it yet (it claims to be HIGHLY scratch resistant) but it's still worrisome. I've done a fingernail test as of now and it has survived. It makes no indentation like the "self healing" skins so I'm guessing if it does get scratched, it stays scratched.
Application
The really cool thing I like most though is the static cling application. I managed to get dust on it before applying it X_X. Using scotch tape though, I was able to remove it with no problems! After about 30 minutes (I decided to be really OCD about the application) it was air bubble free and dust free. Oh, I also decided to try and running it under water to clean it but I found the tape a MUCH better way to clean it.
Removal
Also, be careful when removing the protector. It says to use tape and pull it off at corner. I tried using my fingernail on the camera protector and it kind of warped lol. No real problem though, just looks like an air bubble under it however it isn't over the lens so no problems taking pictures.
Clarity
As far as the proximity sensor goes, I thought it wasn't configured properly but after switching protectors, it works perfectly (so Skinomi = no good, Martin Fields = awesome). Same goes with the camera; it takes crystal clear photos.
Daily Use/Misc
The feel of this protector is very nice; I think due to the hard plastic material. It really does feel like nothing is there. Looks wise, it's glossy, reflects a clear image of me when looking at it, and is PERFECTLY transparent. If matte anti-glare is your thing, this isn't your screen protector. Good comparison is Macbook Pro anti-glare/glass; matte vs colors really popping off the screen.
Another issue I have with screen protectors is how well I can flick/scroll, this protector has my stamp of approval. As I said earlier, it feels very similar to glass and as such, scrolling is a breeze.
Smudging is also handled pretty nicely, much better than the "self healing" stuff. I find myself wiping the screen down with my shirt maybe once a day, if even that.
In Conclusion
So, sorry for the long post, but I tried to cover as many bases as possible. My last sentiments for this protector:
10/10
+
Easy application
Washable
Fits very well over screen, minimal non-coverage
Can remove dust from "sticky" side
Crystal Clear/Perfect proximity sensor
Feels Like there is nothing there
Highly scratch resistant? (personally, only did fingernail test so "?")
Somewhat smudge resistant
==
Camera protector
No anti-glare (your personal preference, move to + or -)
Pricy? (16.99 USD + 9.99 shipping)
-
Can be bent and will not fit properly afterwards
P.S. - Shipping was 10 dollars, Fed Ex overnight I think. It came within 2 days for sure though.
P.P.S. - I will post pictures when I find a better camera. I don't have one that zooms in close enough to see the edges and the glare kind of ruins the picture :\
Ugh, I want to put down for this sheild but the only thing holding me back is it's not whole body protection!
Thank you for your review! I doubt anyone will have a problem with as details are what matters
Also can you include some random pictures from the Nexus with the Martin Fields Protecter on the camera? I saw the one on their page but i'm always skeptical
It sucks ! had one and started pelling after a week, I keep my phone in my pocket.....now I have invisible shield and THAT one holds.

Thanks so much for your thorough review. Two things though... first, can you please take a pic of the screen for us, especially showing how the fitment is? I believe you when you say it's just barely short, but am just curious. Second, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who noticed a change in the proximity sensor with these thicker skins.
I'll almost certainly be ordering this product it looks like. One more thing... does it have a guarantee or anything?
Edit: Found this review with installation tips... seems to be just like a Seidio screen protector.
http://the-gadgeteer.com/2004/01/05/martin_fields_overlay_plus_pda_screen_protector_review_/
I've attached a few pictures of the phone and a few taken from the Nexus One
Screen protector
I tried to get as close as possible to the screen to show the edges (Don't mind the Skinomi skin lol).
The one of the camera protector seems clear, but there is one section that is discolored to the rest, that'll be the place I bent lol (bottom half when looking at the picture I took).
Pictures taken from the Phone
There are 2 pictures taken with the phone; one normal and one using the zoom feature.
The picture of the plants are closer, in mid/low light.
The picture of the mountain is further away and in bright light. It's not exactly clear because it's rainy/misty today, sorry for that one.
The last pair is of a magazine in little-no light using the flash as the only source of light.
Warranty
Regarding the warranty, I didn't see mention of anything so I can't really say. If I find anything, I'll be sure to post it.
Thickness
To me, it seems slimmer than the Skinomi Skin because I can feel it almost flush to the metal but it might be my imagination.
I can only upload 8 at a time, so I'll post the others in another post.
These are the remaining photos I took from the phone.
Wow... the fitment looks perfect man. Thanks very much for the pics. Still waiting to hear from Seidio, but this is the front runner. I'll order a new one this week. By the way, I'm jealous that you live near mountains.
Haha, yeah, living in Hawaii has its perks. Wish I could have taken more pictures but I just figured I'd get something posted asap.
If anyone would like to see any specific pictures/angles, I'd be happy to oblige. Like I said though, the camera I have isn't exactly great so quality is kind of lacking.
I'll post again later though seeing how someone had an issue with the protector peeling. I also put my phone into my pocket, so we'll see if it collects lint, peels, etc. So far, my Skinomi seems to be acting like a lint magnet so that may skew results lol.
One last thing of note, I've been hearing word that Martin Fields uses a mild adhesive. With this protector, I guess it's possible that a really mild adhesive is used but I know for sure it's static; depending on which side I'd place a strip of tape close to it, it would actually pull or push the tape in a certain direction. It didn't really feel sticky but I could definitely tell which side needed to be placed on screen; it wasn't smooth on one side.
I have an Martin Fields protector installed on my N1 as well. I'm pleased with it.
I agree with the review here, but I'd like to add that these things do get scratched quite easily. I have one on my G1 and it looks like sh*t after 6 months. It's scuffed and scratched like crazy. Since the MF protectors are not cheap, it's annoying to replace them, but they do their job quite well. Note that I keep my phone in my pocket, often rubbing against keys and coins.
I've had a MF protector on my digital camera for six months and it still looks new (and invisible.)
I always buy two-packs but I wish I could get 10-packs.
Hopefully they'll be available from vendors in the US soon, at lower prices and with cheaper shipping.

This sounds to be the exact same as dcmugen's screen protectors. It confirms the findings of tehkseven's reviews.
I really dont understand why anyone would pay five to ten times as much as one would need to... you all need to try out dcmugen's products because I really haven't found a seller with better quality to price ratio. Search 'epikcase' on eBay.

His ebay seller ID is dcmugen88
Thanks, will order some dcmugen88 product. The material sounds the same. His 5 pack is cheap! If it works ok I'll have a new protector every month instead of every year, lol.
I too just ordered (2) of the Anti-Glare ones from dcmugen for $4.49 shipped.
I will report back once I receive it and will give a review.
Just a follow up review, now that I've had the protector on for a little while.
I usually keep my phone in my shirt pocket but I decided to mix it up and
Throw it into my pants pocket (with keys) for the purpose of this review.
Looks
Still very impressed by the looks of the protector. Nothing has changed that
I can tell; no peeling effect, no lint collection (again, could be due to skin
protector lint collection lol).
Scratching
Haha, as mentioned by another reader, this protector does indeed scratch.
Now, here's the funny thing: It didn't scratch due to my keys, but rather my
cleaning cloth.
Some cleaning cloths burn the edges and while I'm usually
careful with those, I figured if this thing has been taking my keys, it should
be able to hold out; not the case.
It's a very deep scratch, so much so that I can feel it under my finger.
The cool thing is though, I cannot see the scratch under normal circumstances.
I can't feel it under normal use either.
Seriously though, I can't even see the scratch under daily use.
Only by flashing direct light can I see the scratch, and by moving my finger
slowly over it can I feel it.
Note: scratch is maybe 1/8th of an inch long.
Clarity
Screen still displays beautifully and pictures are still awesome.
Cleanliness
Still remains pretty clean throughout a few days, only wiping it down every
two or three days. Pretty darn good I guess.
Conclusion
While I'm sort of sick that it got scratched, it's so unnoticable that I haven't
felt the need to replace it. Don't know how long it will last, but if ever
I decide to replace it, I'll post again and give the reasons why.
I'm still quite pleased with this protector and I don't think I'll ever use
anything besides these static cling protectors (be it Martin Fields or another).
hey Xavina. Are you near kea'ahala pl? looks like the pictures are taken from my old house almost haha.
Nevermind. But the bkgrnd is close.

My old driveway. Anyways off topic ... carry on.
wondering if I could get some good recomendations on the best matte finish screen protectors. I understand the slight diminish of the screen quality.
I have installed zaggs before so installation isnt a problem.
thanks

The moshi ivisor that they sell (or at least used to sell) in ATT stores is a great option in my opinion.
it's matte finish and super easy to install. also, it's completely reusable, so you can take it off, wash it, and reapply. I have one and i only use it when i feel i need a screen protector. when i don't, I just take it off and store it on a sheet of wax paper. the adhesive is kind of a gel that never loses its holding power. it's a neat design, as there is no adhesive under the actual screen part, just the border around it; so there is a tiny air gap between the protector in the screen. even with that though, it's still perfectly responsive.
only problem is that it's a bit spendy, but seeing as you can reuse it as many times as you like, i feel it is totally worth the price.

+1..............
Do these matte screen protectors not make the screen look greasy as hell? I got a matte screen protector once because I like the look, but it made the screen look terrible and wasn't worth it.
+1 screen looks crappy to me also in my opinion
I have the moshi too. As far as protectors go, its the best. But I decided my screen didn't need a cover and have been happy ever since

Got some off ebay the other day from a store called ZYDistro. Been really happy, and they're really cheap so I got 12 total, so if any get scratched up or anything, I just get to replace it! Shipped very quickly and is located in the US. (Specific Item)
I have skimmed through the pages in the other tempered glass screen protector threads. I have yet to find a manufacturer who makes an edge to edge protector that adheres to the entire screen rather than just the top and bottom.
My issue is that with a water proof device, anytime it is exposed to water (every day for me as I place it on the shelf in the shower to listen to music), water becomes trapped underneath the tempered glass.
Anyone picked up a model that would remedy this?
no one currently makes one
Why did you feel the need to open a whole new thread for something that has been discussed at length in many other threads? no, there is no solution yet.
Doesn't the official Samsung one do this ?
The official Samsung one is plastic, not glass.
The official Samsung one is not tempered glass.
I strongly advice against getting curved tempered glass. Or any screen protector with curve protection.
I got my replacement Note 7 and I decided to just use a flat film protector and leave the sides exposed. So much easier to use this way.
which flat one did you get!

It feels like **** though. I had an IQ Liquid Shield on my old Note 7, and it felt nice in the hand. Barely a bump in feeling, some around the edges but not really noticeable. This current new Note 7 has factory screen protectors, both front and back. But they feel sharp and edgy, they don't cover the curves. I have actual sleeping nightmares about applying a brand new IQ Liquid Shield protector I already have, and it peeling horribly at corners. fEa.r me..?
Yeah. So I got my replacement n7 today. Picked up a Qmadix "first defense" screen protector. Guess what? It's edge to edge and the adhesive goes all the way around the screen. Just got out of the shower (phone got soaked), no water under the glass.
There is no reason to be rude.. Obviously, the other threads "discussed at length" on the subject failed to stumble upon this gem.
Thanks everyone. I'm only 5 hours in but I have no complaints. No halo, sits flush. Thicker than the Verizon branded one I had previously. Has kind of a unique cut out for the Samsung logo. I also purchased a camera, hearbeat sensor, and home button glass.. I'm set lol.
Edit: forgot to mention the Qmadix also comes in all three colors. I purchased black respectively.

i tried dozens of them looks just like that, most of them only have adhesive on the sides or the top+bottom. all returned.
i suspect this one will be the same, but its not available to purchase on Amazon yet. Guest i will try this too.
i will report see how it goes. but i have no hope at all.
case friendly and curved too on the design like that..?? dont know thats legit or not.
This will work 100%, even my case won't peel the screen cover.

you must get this specific version for the full cover. there's a lot of different variations. also let the film completely dry before you even attempt to wrap down the sides. you can use your palms, squeegee, and blow dryer. Remember the water spray is only for help with placement. When this film dries, its very stick and adhesive.
i just hate TPU material, its spongy, soft, leaves imprints and a weird texture. but it does full cover. tempered glass and PET film will never do that.

I have the same protector updated version on my note 7. Did the shrink wrap trick too when i applied it. Came out nice after 12hrs. Once I put my UAG case it started to lift edges. I had to use a credit card to slide case phone in without lifting edges. So I thought I was all good right. Nope a day later it started to lift on the top side and bottom side. I have to smooth it back to down continuously. So either you got lucky or you case does not life the edges.

maybe it was the way you put it on? as in one side you will comfortable be able to tuck it under but the other side kinda snapped on and slid/lifted the cover in order for the case to snap on?

Just installed this. I think i know why most companies only use glue on the top or bottom. The quality of the product is good. The packaging is great but i would rather get something a little more simple and maybe save on the cost.
I have yet to turn on my replacement N7 so i cant speak on clarity but the fit is decent. It even works with my Seidio Dilex case on even though its "full screen"
Here is my one problem so far (its only been an hour since install) there is a slight clicking sound when you press on some areas. The edges etc. This is the reason why i think most companies dont use glue on the sides. I think this is where the clicking sound is coming from. I think i installed it as best as i could but who knows. Maybe its my fault.
Im going to try to use it for a while to see how well it works and if i can stand the clicking sound. This is my 1st glass screen protector for the N7 and i dont think ill try more in the future. I just wanted to try one out.
Anyone out there using the LG V30 without a screen protector? I've gone through two of them already. Neither has yielded a good result. The latest has the edge curving to it, but the glue is only applied at the sides and bottom. The top of the phone is open. As a result, I get tons of lint and dust between the screen protector and the screen itself. And off course, since there is no direct contact throughout the middle of the screen, touch response and sensitivity is horrific.
For this reason, I'm considering ditching the screen protector altogether, but I'm really worried about scratching this screen. Gorilla 5 has its shortcomings in this area. What's the experience of other LG V30 owners been?
Got mine in december and I applied the same kind of glass screen protector right away, with glue only on the sides. And of course, lint and touch sensitivity problems just like you... I got quickly fed up, after a couple of weeks I ditched the screen protector an got a nice case (VRS Design -https://www.amazon.com/Vrs-Design-VRSV30HPSSS-Shield-Silver/dp/B0768ZVXGS). No scratches whatsoever til this day. The phone fell once on concrete from about four feet on the corner/screen, no damage at all thanks to the case - I guess.
My 2 cents : forget about the glass protector, get a nice case with significant lip around the screen and enjoy how smooth the naked screen is.

I've had the phone since the end of December with no screen protector, and only a cheapo clear case that the retailer threw in when I bought it. I am a little rough in my devices as I work outdoors and the device is in and out of my pockets all day. It occasionally gets dropped or knocked out of the car mount. Not a blemish on it.

This is the first smartphone I have not put a screen protector on. I did make sure the case has a lip (A Ringke Fusion).
So far, so good.
I never use screen protectors.
Sent from my LG-H931 using Tapatalk
Tried 3 different screen protector (ringke, ****ke and and other crap), never worked. So I am using it in case or many times in NUDE form because it has some beautiful curves, this phone
Same here, tried 4 different screen protectors then gave up and went nude. Best decision ever. I've had glass screen protectors on all my phone since they first came on the market. First time going without one.
Minor scratches will happen but usability, clearity and feel is SO much better that its worth it.
The only thing that bums me out is that the camera glass scratches easily. Heard its easy to replace but its stupid that its not sapphire glass.
I dont even use a case. Only have a black slickwraps skin on the back because i dont like the silver color. (Only silver and blue were available in my country)
I bought and use the skinomi matte screen protector and it works really well... In fact I got the same protector for the Note 8 as well.
I got a scratch on the first day that I got the phone, I don't know how or where but I did... That's why I always use screen protector, lucky for me I as able to buy a full glue when they were still available if I accidentally break it I don't know what will I do with my life.
I'm kind of different from others here.
Day 1 (August I think), I skipped the glass protector because I read from others on XDA that nothing was fitting right or didnt cover the edges of the screen. I put a plastic-like traditional protector on instead. It's been ok except for lots of grease and smudge buildup. I do have some scratches on the protector, but I wonder if they even would be noticeable if I hadn't had the screen protector on. The reason why is because of the plastic/rubbery texture of the screen protector. I feel like scratches would show up MORE on this protector vs the naked Gorilla Glass.
I'm really considering taking the protector off, but a little hesitant. Lol
I'm currently using it without the screen protector.
I've tried putting a plastic screen protector (wet install), and I've noticed it's soft almost like rubber, and also kind of sticky. After waiting for 3-4 days it remained too soft, so I just peeled it off. I haven't even tried any glass protectors after reading all of the reviews.
I mean, I would love if someone could suggest something that works well, and is $10-15 tops.
There is a whole thread dedicated to it, but the final conclusion is that nothing works except the whitestone dome which is nearly $50.

Yep I read that, but that's still a bit too expensive and too much work.
I think LG designed the curved edges to discourage users put a screen protector on it. LOL. I have been using it with no screen protector, but I have put it in a clear TPU that has lips. I dropped my phones a few times, sometimes face down, and luckily no scratches so far.

This my opinion if you don't care about resale value then go naked. Me I personally care about the resale value so I put a case and screen protector since I switch phones yearly sometimes less so I try to get as much money back as I can for the new phone or else I would go naked.

I care about resale value, and I definitely see the need for a case (especially with raised lips) -- but not a screen protector that makes the display less responsive. A friend and his wife just got these phones, wouldn't listen to me, PAID for screen protectors at T-Mobile. Within 3 days they ripped them off.

Keys and coins don't scratch screens (there are dozens of Youtube videos that prove this), but a grain of sand will.
I never use screen protectors, and have never had any issues, but somewhere, somehow the v30 picked up a light scratch on the screen (but not from keys or coins).

That's because there could be particles of dust/sand/rocks in your pocket which could scratch the glass. I always baby my phones, yet I've picked up a couple of scratches.
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

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.

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.

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)
