Hi all, I'll be getting the phone this coming week, and was just wondering if I will need to get a screen protector with it, or does it come with one installed already? If it has one already, i'll hold off on getting a "better" screen protector till there are more reviews out for which are best. Many thanks!!
As far as I know the only one that does in the 8/256 model. I had a 6/128 model and it did not come with one. The 8/256 model did. Also, I didn't put mine on the 8/256 which I now regret as the glass on this device doesn't appear to be very tough. I have numerous thin scratches after only 4 weeks, and I take pretty good care of my devices. My Pixel XL was bought on launch day and it was used non-stop until I got a Mix 3 in December. I didn't have a protector or case on it and it has a few light scratches, and nothing else wrong with it.
There's no screen protector shipped with the 8/256 either. I've been using mine for a couple of weeks, including in my pocket with keys, and no scratches on mine.

Hi
I just got my infuse and wondering is it a good idea to put screen protector on a gorilla glass screen?
I think if gorilla glass cant get any scratches then whats the point
or still by time/usage it still get scratches.....?
What do you think?
It will still get scratches. The first two months that i had my infuse, i got a couple small scratches from having coins in the same pocket as my phone. It was still nothing compared to older phones like the original iPhone, which would get covered in scratches.
That Infuse had sounds issues, so I got a new infuse under the warranty. Since, taking basic precautions and using a case, I have had 0 scratches on the screen in the last ten months.
I got an invisishield put on the same day i got the phone. Best buy offered to knock the price down since i was getting the phone through them. And they installed it. I havent had a problem with mine yet. I figured 10 is cheap insurance just in case.

Any screen can get scratched. I bought a 10 pack of Screenwhiz (cut to size) protectors just in case. I change them out about once a month, but it's better than scratching your screen.
I walked into a Bestbuy yesterday to buy a screen protector for the note 4, there were none. When I asked girl in mobile said they were all recalled? Anyone hear this?
Would not surprise me. ZAGG ones didn't fit properly.
I have not heard of this. I was in a Best Buy yesterday, but I did not take the time to view their screen protectors there. I prefer to buy my protectors from Amazon.com as they are much cheaper and you receive a good amount depending on which you buy from Amazon.

When I purchased my Note 4 at Best Buy I also purchased the Zagg glass shield screen protector and paid to have them apply it (good thing). The fist one he thought some lint got into the edges as they would not stick no matter how he rubbed and rubbed. He then opened another package (of no cost to me as the first was "defective") and that too did the same thing. So, I just had them refund me my money for the screen protector and the service charge to apply it. But, here's the clincher, I went to a sprint store to see if maybe Best Buy just had a bad batch or something? Well, the sales rep there said they are not recommending them right now because they are not sticking around the edges. So, bottom line you're better off going amazon for now till they get a fix.
Ive used the zaggs from bestbuy since my s3 and had them on my s3,s4,n3,s5 and now my n4. Always used the clear hd plastic ones and decided to go with the same for the n4. Works and looks great. Maybe its just the glass ones.
its not amazon, its not best buy, its not the sprint store. its our Note 4's screen. its slightly curved so the edges on the tempered glass cant stick, they arnt bendable enough. theyre making a "bendable" tempered glass screen protector but thats going to come out a little bit later on, probably after more R&D. i have a ebay screen tempered glass protector and it also has the same issues. i used to work at best buy and its all the same stuff. i personally use the ebay one while not completely sticking to the edges, it does still provide some protection and with the screen on, you cant tell that its not sticking.
Just thought I'd start this thread as everyone is posting screen protectors that are only available in other countries and not UK (bar one) Anyone know any good screen protectors out there...
I would like to know as well. Ordered a "temper glass" from ebay to receive some phony screen protector.
Using the Spigen crystal and it is very good, no problem installing it and after 2 weeks so far no problems with the edges.
TPU ones are dry install and stay stuck to the edges well. They are quite easily damaged, but self repair over the course of a few days. These really do seem the only option right now, the harder plastic ones dont stick and the glass ones are horrible and expensive.
These are the ones im using.

Just ordered a 6x, do someone know something about a good tempered glass screen protector?
Is the screen flat or curved on the edges?

Thank you, I also found some by googling, I ask about something someone tried.

Mine came with some kind of screen protector already stuck on the screen. Also seems to be fairly stubborn to remove, did anyone else's come delivered with it?
Would prefer to have a tempered one, but the one currently on there seems to be made of glass already.

It's probably a plastic PET screen protector, which has really strong glue on it. I doubt Honor would supply their devices with a tempered glass screen protector straight out the box.
My must arrive on Monday, I hope that there will be a protection like on yours..
Edit:
Arrived today and there is a sort of hard protection on the display, not glass but probably policarbonate, invisible.

Ordered a tempered glass screen protector from nilkin.org, but after paying i noticed the payment going to some russian name, but nilkin is asian as far as i know.
Also, some reviews on google classify this website as a fake / scam.
So for now, avoid nilkin.org.
The official website doesnt list any honor 6x support, so i'll have to wait and see if what gets delivered actually fits, if it even arrives/was sent at all.
i bought the mr shield
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M74TFP9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
didnt like it at all.
if you notice the plastic one that the phone came with it does not cover the screen completely { about 1mm on each side }.
mr shield is exactly the same. makes the phone look bad. im returning this and waiting for someone to make the screen protector correctly

mine had tempered glass on it already..so no issue faced for this
If you're talking about the screen protector from the factory, it's not glass, just a plastic. It's a finger print magnet for sure too. I ordered one of the newer styles that just came on Amazon. Will update with my thoughts when I comes in in a day or so.

Mine was gifted by Huawei in China and had tempered glass.
Does it leave big gaps around the edges or is it more of a full edge style?

More gaps at edges
Got this one in the mail today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MU7Y0EG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_40KIyb6NMD2N9
I wanted to try a more edge to edge one and this one is really close. But you do get the raised edges as the curved glass starts. I will see how much it collects dust and probably remove it. It's my wife's phone so she probably won't like it.

Update:
The screenprotector just came in and is the correct one. Unfortunately the same problem persist with the 2.5d glass, the protector doesn't go edge to edge.
So, nillkin.org seems to be legit (enough) to order from. The screen protector box just used a variation on the name 'honor 6x', namely 'Huawei Mate 9 Lite GR5 2017', which is apparently the same phone .
Do not buy
DO NOT BUY.
just got this one from amazon today
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MR65JJD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it broke during installation, the slightest movement destroys it. the material is not really good at all.
i have a TUDIA Slim-Fit HEAVY DUTY case and the protector and there is a small gap between the case and the screen protector.
if the installation would have been successful, doubt it would last more than a day .
gotta keep looking
another do not buy...
the toshion screen protector.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M2BM9H4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
does not even cover the screen , box reads 6x but i dont think its for a 6x or they really messed up their measurements
use this from amazon.in

I have been using this phone for about 10 days, in a TPU case from day 1. Today, I noticed 3 or 4 small scratches on the screen. It's been treated really well as any $700 phone will be.
I looked at my 2 year old Nexus 5X that I've been using as a daily driver with any screen protector, the screen on that phone is still flawless.
Has anybody else noticed that too? I only saw these scratches by accident, when the screen was completely off and I was looking at it at an angle.
I think it scratches easier than any prior phone I've had. I've got two scratches on mine already, I believe they came from those brass buttons near my pockets on my jeans....
The screen on my 4-year-old Note 3 is flawless, never used a screen protector. My Pixel 2 already has several tiny scratches. They're only visible when the screen is off/black and there's substantial light, but it's an absurdly fragile screen.
Edit: Corning's official response here is BS, but here is the problem: https://www.phonearena.com/news/Cor...e-7s-Gorilla-Glass-5-scratches-easily_id84326
Gorilla Glass 5 gives up scratch resistance in exchange for shatter resistance. I'd rather have GG3.
I'm not sure if it's true, but I read somewhere that Google made a trade off between scratch proofing and shatter proofing for the Pixel 2 screen.
I pre-ordered my p2 and have been using it without any screen protector for almost 2 months. Best screen I ever used and no scratches. I will be installing tempered glass soon to be on the safe side.
Is GG5 more scratable than GG3?
I had GG3 on the Nexus 5 and never had an issue. This is the first phone when I've stopped using screen protection.

Mine has no screen protector, so far no scratches. One thing that I've noticed is that the screen doesn't smear with fingerprints nearly as bad as my Pixel.

In this durability test the pixel 2 scratches at Mohs hardness level 6 which is standard for all flagships these days.

Lol, not quite. I got it near the end of October. My calculations were a bit off. But it feels like 2 months ?
I don't have any scratches yet but I have been using mine since oct 19th and the spot where my thumb usually slides when scrolling is starting to get more "Oilly" than any other part of the screen. The area is also harder to clean. Look like in under 2 months the oleophobic has started to wear a bit...
This is not really great news but it does still look crystal clear when wiped clean. I was gonna get a tempered glass protector like I always do but been lazy. Looks like with this phone it will be a must.
Lucky the phone does have a 2-year warranty and will keep it for that long since my wife is still on her OG Pixel and I will sell that and give her this phone next year.
