[Q] Any good plastic screen protectors out there?

I haven't seen a "perfect" glass protector yet nor do I want to pay like $30-40. What do you guys recommend for an affordable plastic screen protector? It doesn't have to be completely edge to edge coverage, but I would like it to cover more than just the viewable display portion.

The iloome light has no halo, it's 9h in hardness and can be picked up for under 30 dollars. I've had mine since late February and have had no issues.

I was under the impression that all glass protectors leave halos or if you're lucky enough, few might be halo free. I didn't want to risk that. Does your screen protector stop right at the black display border or extend out a little bit? Also, does it reduce sensitivity if using moderately thick gloves? I already have increased sensitivity on so I can use gloves with the phone in the winter and don't want to lose that feature. Thanks for your suggestion.

The protector stops at the edge of the display. So it's not one of the edge to edge protection protectors.
I don't wear gloves, but if it works with plastic it would work with glass.

Might put this on the maybe list. I'm still not 100% convinced due to the amazon reviews.

Here's a video from Flossy Carter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S28PgCFU_lY
If I had another camera I'd take some pictures of mine, but I have no other phone with me.

Invisibleshield HDX, going on 6 months strong. I had the iloome first and it started to lift on the edges or one of the corners.

Techmatte screen protectors are awesome, and priced really low!
Here is a 3 pack for less than $5, and it's Prime eligible

Are you guys running these screen protectors with a case? I am using an Otterbox Defender like case and wonder if halo issues would increase with that.

Right now I'm using Extreme Guard. So far no problems.Not the best and not the worst. I got mine off of Ebay last week for $1.99 and free shipping.

Do you have the dry or wet version? Is it plasticy or rubbery? The pic of the knife stabbing the screen protector makes me think that it's more rubbery meaning it'll be grippy instead of smooth.

I got the wet. 5 days on it and so far its really nice. Took a few days to settle but that's normal. Go here.....http://www.xtremeguard.com/
They got some good deals going on now.

I've had good luck with the Zagg Hdx. Bought it at Best Buy and had them install it. I believe it was around $18. After about 2 months, it still looks good. Covers to the edge of the screen.
It's not as smooth as glass, but not bad.

Using the Zagg hdx w/ Otterbox Defender for a couple of months, no halo, no lifting. You need to change the S Pen tip to the gray one. Not as smooth as glass has very good fingerprint resistance. I had the iCarez glass & it was a fingerprint/dust magnet to the point I had to remove it.

How is the clarity with the hdx? I noticed a few users saying clarity is reduced like you rainbow/pixely effect. Also that the spen leaves marks?

I guess if you pressed the S Pen hard enough you could mark the hdx but I've not had that problem. Reason you change the tip to the grey one is it glides much better on the hdx. Screen clarity to me is every bit as good as it was with the iCarez glass. I also used the iCarez film before their glass one and that was terrible screen clarity, the hdx is a night & day difference between a film plastic protector. Keep in mind anything less than 9h tempered glass is going to be a compromise. For me the no halo/no lifted edges and the fact that I'm tired of trying to find a glass protector makes the hdx a good compromise.

I also think the clarity is fine on the hdx. I grew tired of going through glass protectors that all had the halo effect too.

I went with the hdx. Not too impressed with it. Some of the edges do not stick fully and I hear some squeaks as I glide my finger across the screen. I also notice a mild rainbowy/pixely effect on white backgrounds.

Excuse my ignorance, just out of curiousity is there a reason you (anyone here) would choose a plastic protector over glass?
In my experience plastic is such a pain always had to have my lady partner apply my plastic ones I would always get those bubbles.. never got them since I moved to glass, and it's so much easier to apply.. just put it on and watch the air run out the sides
Extremely cheap on eBay even though I get the best buy discount. Even got the explosion proof glass so it will be safe if my phone explodes!

I would've loved to chosen a glass protector, but from what I've seen most get halos. Some are lucky and do not get them. Also they are priced a lot higher. Which glass are you using?

Tempered Glass Protector

I was going to go with the Pleson brand from Amazon, but the latest reviews say it lifts around the edges. I want the glass to have circular cutouts for camera/flash/mics. Has to fit well on the screen with very minor margins. Anyone find something else that fits the bill?

I'd like to know this too. Anyone?

I actually have both the Skinomi and the Pleson glass screen protector. The Skinomi brand came in slightly cracked in two different places which made two different air bubbles that wouldn't go away and got bigger day by day. I emailed Skinomi and customer support seemed really great, they sent out a replacement that got here in 4 days. Only it wasn't a replacement. I told them twice during our exchange that my device was a Moto Z Force. They sent one for a Huawei Honor 5X. I emailed them about it and they said they are now "updating the design" on the Moto Z Force techglass protector and it wont be available til the 25th of Sept. I too was skeptical about the Pleson protector but I bought it anyway and I have to say I am very satisfied with my purchase, idk what kind of crappy application the other buyers did to have so many errors on the edges of the screen but this screen protector not only covers more than the Skinomi one, but I don't have a single air bubble. I have Pleson's cheap little TPU case also, and I have to say its also nice in my opinion.
You can see from these two pictures:
1. I don't have a single air bubble (Click the picture to view the full size image)
2. The dust remover sticky thing works wonders, I literally don't have a SINGLE spec of dirt/lint under the glass.
This was AFTER removing the thing like 3 times just to get it "PERFECTLY" over the front of the device. Honestly you forget its even there with this case that covers the edges.

I went with the Sparin ones and they are great. I was actually pretty surprised. I'm very anal when it comes to screen protectors. A set of 2 and a bunch of tools in the box to get screen protector on well for only $8. It was easy to install, great fit, and touch remains delicate and precise.

You do realize the phone comes with one preinstalled as part of the shattershield right?

You do realize Shattershield is shatterproof because the topmost layer, what you touch, isn't glass, its plastic. Which scratches insanely easily, dents easily when dropped(because plastic), and can be easily removed with a simple razor. So no, it isn't a screen protector. Which is why I say tempered glass is the way to go as tempered glass has a much higher scratch resistance than a shattershield display, and in my opinion, glass feels better than a plastic screen.

Any luck removing that plastic one or did you just leave it? I ordered the skinomi and kinda want to remove my already scratched stock one.

I left it, removing the plastic shattershield layer would more than likely cause more issues than necessary if you don't contact Motorola about a replacement layer. Especially if you plan to just throw on a glass screen protector on it, your phone screen might be like, concave.

Yeah and the screen can still be scratched and dented easily but won't shatter it happened on my first moto z force

So I ended up removing the Motorola shattershield with a razor. Was easy. Come in from bottom right corner to get a lip and then slowly peel off. No heat needed. It's a slightly firmer version of the skinomi plastic and I ended up putting a tempered glass replacement on it which looks and works fantastically. It really ups the look of the phone and just feels nicer

any pix? would be nice to see the difference. thanks in advance!

Definitely would dig seeing how that looks.
I've tried 2 different glass ones til I just got fed up, went to Verizon and brought the Zagg one for 34.99. Covers proper and looks and feels great.
The Pleson would've been great if it had seated around my finger print reader and ear speaker - the cut outs are very well done. It just didn't happen tho.... Ah well.

The Omoton 2 pack one on Amazon is lame - it barely covers the phone - pretty much only covers the display and stops pretty short of much else... They emailed me to explain the "curved" glass screen... Meanwhile Zagg and Pleson covered most of the screen! If we could get Pleson's cutout and Zagg's adhesive - we'd be golden.

I didnt know Zagg made a glass screen protector for the Z force?

Would like to see this as well. The wife and I both have damaged the front screen already and been waiting for Moto to come out with the replacement screen but still shows it as "Coming Soon". I have a slight scuff on the center towards the top and she actually dropped hers after tripping and chipped the screen in four spots. Kind of funny that we have never used screen protectors nor damaged one before and we get the one with the "shatterproof" screen and done it to both

Yeah, but the screen didn't shatter... [emoji14]

Shatter shield removed, no replacement
I removed the Shatter-Shield plastic because it was scratched and I'm planning on replacing it with tempered glass, but what they're really any be any problem with keeping the Shatter-Shield off and not replacing it? Aside from warranty issues

I have heard pro's and con's to shatter shield. Yeah it may scratch,,,but wont shatter if it is dropped. I guess that is why I put on the zagg glass screen protector asap to avoid scratches on the plastic part of screen. The Zagg screen protector from Verizon is really great looking and feels very smooth to touch way better than the original screen.

Note 7 edge to edge full adhesive screen protector

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.

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.
I asked for and received a refund both times.

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

Amazing Glass Screen Protector

So after seeing bad reviews of countless glass screen protectors, I have finally stumbled upon one that is actually fantastic and covers the entire display.
https://www.amazon.ca/ESR-Protector...2+tempered&dpPl=1&dpID=51kmkyd-p6L&ref=plSrch
I purchased this thing about a week ago and have so far been extremely satisfied. For starters it comes with a alignment tool that makes putting it on a breeze.
One benefit of this screen protector is that it is truly edge to edge, leaving about 0.75mm of space on each edge of the glass while simultaneously not cutting out any part of the display. The other benefit is that it has adhesive throughout the entire glass including the edges so no issues with the rainbow halo effect. The oleophobic coating on it is also superb. It feels EXACTLY like the original display, most glass screen protectors skimp out on this which leads them to feel a bit sticky but this one glides like the original display under it.
I installed it in under 3 minutes perfectly and there are absolutely no bubbles and the singular camera cutout is perfectly made in the correct spot. Hands down the best glass screen protector I've had for any smarthphone.

Thanks for the tip. I've ordered one on AliExpress from the same brand, costs only 5 usd

Using one for one month, just perfect and easy to apply. Very good quality and i have tried many screen protectors for mix 2 but none was as good as this one.

GREAT! Thanks for answer!

Hey.
I use my phone since early 2018 now.
After a few different screen protectors i gave up and use it without protector.
The phone is like a new one. I think the glass is very good and no protector is needed.
The display is very smooth to tap without one scratch on it.
Use it with full cover/case with magnetic closer.

I managed to get some hair-like fine scratches. I think your full cover helps a lot

I just shattered my ESR protector, you will never guess how. While pulling the phone out of my pocket, I somehow hooked the corner of my glass, right where the front camera is located ( here: https://imgur.com/F5Crawg ) with some loose thread in my pocket They should just make a round cutout :\

Just put mine on this morning, fits really well but 3 areas have a speck of dust under them, I put it on after getting out of the shower as the mist in the air normally keeps the dust away but not this time.
Got the esr case as well which is ok for the price.
Got them from the ESR store on AliExpress.

Ruined 2 glass protector with that idiotic cut
Sent from my Mi MIX 2 using Tapatalk

Best screen protector I've ever had, and I think I've tried them all. Full glue so no weird effects, no dot matrix, perfect cut and perfect fit with the supplied tool. I'm highly impressed.
Tbh I can't understand why we need a camera cut out, just make a circular clear area.

There is a white frame and black frame available. Which one did you choose? . . . and is there a case that would be most compatible with this rounded edge protector?

ESR
Well, ESR glasss has the best oleofobic coating and clearness. No rainbow efect too, it has gule on the whole surface. Just that nowel plastic frame needs some practice to get use to it. There are no gaps between it and the glass on all sides , when install. The glue is really strong. I am siprised that somebody managed to stisck something between glass and screen.

My ESR protector died after a couple months of use. First some scratches appeared (the protector is softer than the screen) and on one of those scratches (a deeper one on the edge) the protector cracked. Removal was not that easy as the force required to pull it of will result in a shattered protector everywhere so expect lots of glass dust. I've ordered a new one together with a ESR case (that fits lovely too). These things are so cheap anyway that I don't mind going through a couple of them each year.

Just got the ESR case and screen protector. Thanks for the recommendation, this screen protector feels and looks like there is no protector at all, no more smudges over the original screen. The perfect application from the bracket and adhesive across the entire protector makes it the best one I've used, after giving up on covering my mix 2 after 3-4 different protectors giving neuton rings and immediately thrown out. I have probably dropped my mix 2 on the pavement 7 or 8 times in the last year getting out of my car, and only got a tiny crack on the bottom bezel corner of the screen. Since the bottom bezel on the ESR protector is black my phone looks undamaged now.
The ESR case is nearly as good as the one in the box. I do notice it's slightly thicker than the case in the box, and the added bottom protection makes the phone slightly longer, but it's overall an exceptional fit.

I got mine from taobao directly.

3-protector for 39 CNY, with a free silicon case (very ****ty).
This protector have soft edges to fit the curved screen edge, perfect for my case.
