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.

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.
---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------
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.
So far I've purchased tempered glass screen protectors from three companies. Supersheildz and ivoler protectors are the exact same product. The only difference with Pleson is the small outcropping around the top of the earpiece. Aside from that outcropping the Pleson protector is essentially the same as well. The ivoler protector doesn't even reach the edges of the display area. For now I'm sticking with Pleson. Just thought I'd share my experience.
The glass curves down at the edges. People are all moaning about tempered glass that doesn't go all the way to the edges, when I don't even think that's possible. Zagg tried to go a little bit further than the flat part, and the result is the worst case of HALO I've ever seen personally. Hopefully soon CX

I'm on my 4th glass protector. So far, only the Pleson covers the whole veiweable area. The only problem is small areas of the top of the protector that refuse to stay down. It's not in the viewable area so I can live with that.
Pleson has redesigned their screen protector. It's supposed to be wider. They won't ship until the 7th. So in 5-10 days I'll give an update. I have one now. It doesn't stick around the top speaker.
I'm using the Pleson now myself. Also problems with sticking up top but otherwise looks decent.
I hate the visible gap at the edge of the protector where it shows the screen. Hard to describe so hope that makes sense.
They just sent me the updated version, should have in 5 days. Offered it free of charge after leaving an Amazon review.
I think the new one is going to have a bad halo on the sides but we shall see.
The packaging and included prep stuff is top notch...just wish it covered more.
I am not having any issues with pleson sticking the only issues I have is that it is slightly short on the edges like hairline short.
They said they will send me an updated version which is 1.5mm wider.
I have the supershieldz. Not happy with them. They are exactly the width of the viewable area of the screen. Loose in all the corners and around earpiece.
What exactly is halo? I've been searching and searching for a glass screen protector that covers the entire viewable area of the screen, but have had no luck. Thus far, I've purchased the Zagg Invisishield + and the Spartan Shield. The pictures posted of the Pleson look promising
I have the SuperShieldz and it covers with ZERO halo effect. It fits perfect. Just maybe about 1mm of gap all around, but it covers my whole screen perfectly.
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.

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.

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.

Can you post pictures of this one please. My order got cancelled due to some processing delay. If this is good, I'll place another order.
Hi! I am searching for tempered glass screen protector that would cover only the display part (so I could also put a bling sticker on the phone haha). Thank you for suggestions!

All the ones I've used cover the home and back buttons and even the LED. Are you looking for something that covers less than that?

Yes, I would like one that only covers actual display part (the 5.7 inch diagonal rectangular part), no more:fingers-crossed: I think it is probably not possible :/
see I'm the total opposite, I can't find one that fits PERFECT and I usually go with BodyGuardz ( I really like the home button spacers and stuff they got nice kits) but ya anywho....so I tried two , one BGDz and the other generic , the generic was awful , the bodyguards was at least bit better fit. SO , what I did was bought a galaxy note 3 glass and it covers it edge to edge. the only issue is the edges could be tapered or rounded a bit but really I'm damn happy with it, total coverage for the full front, I hate cases but an otterbox / similar would have this thing fully encased and protected.

Best one I've found...
I have tried several tempered glass screen protectors on my Note 4. The best I have found are from Spigen. All of the other glass protectors usually left a slight gap on the edges where the display curves, but the Spigen slightly curves with the display and leaves no air gap. I have that in conjunction with the Versus Iron Shield cover; definitely a premium feel. You can get both for less than you just quoted ($45) on Amazon...
Most tempered glass screen protectors for the Note 4 are designed to just cover the display and not the whole front panel.

Most do not even cover the whole display, since there's a slight curve on the edges. I have a great tempered glass protector, and it is slightly narrower than the display. It doesn't bother me, since it works so well. S Pen glides so smoothly with it.

I was referring to the AMOLED display and not the entire front panel. As you have mentioned before the entire front panel of the Note 4 is made of 2.5D glass.

I have a Spigen glass screen protector on my n910v. It is not curved so as to follow the screen, but has air under the outermost 2mm or so on the long sides.
Not questioning your post. They may have changed, and someone buying one based on your recommendation is IMO going to be disappointed.
Bright side: the surface is nice - nicer than the original glass (easier finger glide, pen glide and seems to be more oleophobic - guess I have greasy ears or something )
I just received my IMAK glass screen protector. Purchased this on AliExpress. Here are some photos of it and how I installed it. I used the 3 stickers to make a hinge after it's positioned correctly. That way I just have to remove the backing and then stick it. I'll just seperate my review into pros and cons.
Pros:
-The screen protector fits nicely. I chose this one because it has the little speaker cut out on top.
-It feels good because it is glass.
-It protects the screen well because it is glass.
Cons:
-It is glass so it has some thickness to it.
-Holds fingerprints more than screen itself
-It has a little orange peel so it's not crystal clear. You can see in the picture of the reflection of the light that it looks a little muddy instead of mirror like.
Overall, it's good for the price, but not perfect. Personally I'm back and forth between glass and film screen protectors. I'll give this a try for a few weeks and then make a final decision.

Those guiding stickers are ingenious, never seen them before and the idea is just so simple and clever!!
Perfect, I know what I have to do when my phone and Nillkin protector arrive.
Thanks for sharing.
That is a lot nicer than the Riffue Tempered Glass screen protector I bought on Amazon. This one is thin and has a good height but is several mm too narrow, it doesn't even cover the LCD display let alone the entire screen/glass.
the one i order covers like half of the screen lmao wtf
just ordered one like yours.
I had one similar too this, but the dust collected over front camera under the glass.
It has some glue on it, does this IMAK one used static?
Here is a link to the one i bought.
I tried many different ones but for me this is the best.
The coating is very good against fingerprints. It fits perfect on the screen.
The sides of the screen are a little bit curved down which is good for the dust.

I agree, this is the best screenprotector i have ever bought. It fits perfect and the coating feels the same as on the original screen :good::good:
Just wanted to echo everyone else about how great the Imak full coverage screen protector is. I went through four different screen protectors so far (unknown brand thin plastic one, MOFI tempered glass, another MOFI tempered glass, and finally the IMAK full coverage)
The thin plastic one came bundled with the phone and would scratch if you so much as raised your voice at it. Placed it on just as a temporary protector while waiting for the others to come from Aliexpress. It just barely covered the display and left about 1.5mm of space on the edges. The phone was accidentally smacked out of my hand once and landed on a sandy floor face down, which I later discovered upon removal of the screen protector had caused a small chip on the screen near the edge, so the protector might have absorbed some of the impact.
The first MOFI tempered glass I got was a "full coverage" one, but it arrived with notches cut out on the bottom where the proximity sensor and front camera are. The worst thing about this one was that it only had adhesive on the edges, so there was a really distracting and noticeable rainbow effect (newton rings) in the middle of the screen.
The second MOFI tempered glass was also full coverage, and this time it didn't have notches at the bottom, just a hole cutout where the proximity sensor is located. The adhesive type was the same as the previous one, edge only, resulting in the newton ring effect. It also mysteriously cracked for no reason.
The one I have on currently is the IMAK full coverage screen protector. Indisputably the best out of all of them, the protector fits exactly over the entire front glass, and instead of cutout holes at the bottom, the chin at the bottom is fully glass, blackened except for where the proximity sensor and front camera are. Full adhesive all throughout means there is no rainbow effect, and the LED notification light is even tinted slightly so that it blends in with the chin, and is invisible until it turns on! The only flaw about this screen protector (yes, there is one) is that the area underneath the front camera is too thin to apply adhesive, so as a result there's a tiny gap between the glass and phone that can let in dust after a while. The dust does not seem to affect the front camera, and I never take selfies anyway, but I have yet to figure out a good way to get the dust out of there.
I have never had a screen protector fit this perfectly, even for phones other than the Mi Mix 2. Most other screen protectors have cutouts for the proximity sensor/front camera/both, but this one blends in so well that it feels like it's not even there.
Does anyone know if this protector has a dot matrix on the screen (tiny dots that reflect)? I purchased a Misha 3D protector from Amazon which looks identical to this, and it's great except for the grid of dots across the screen.

When I tried it there were no dots, just very reflective and had a weird smudge pattern going on which ruined it.
The flossmall one posted elsewhere is so much better.
Lol those kind of screen protectors damn sucks, they are not full glue, so that make lot of reflections. The nillkin (regular tempered glass, full glue, no black borders), is perfect and cover all the display... So why buy this imak piece of ****?

After putting the screen protector on, I take a toothpick and put some glue from a Pritt-stick in the little gap underneath the camera. Not much, just enough to close the gap. When it has dried you can color it with a black whiteboard marker if you want. When you remove the screen protector you can easily rub it off. Works great for me :good:
Thanks!
Anyone tried these?
