Anyone know of a screen protector that doesn't affect the colors? I bought a supershieldz edge to edge protector, but I could notice right away the colors are degraded with the coating on the screen protector. Right after I took it off, I could notice how bad it was.
Any good protectors that don't affect the image quality/contrast of the colors?
skinomi screen protector looks ok to me. it's a thin protector and is wet application. only issue i have is finger oils/prints are rather noticeable compared to others i've used in the past.
As most of the protectors out there have notches, and don't cover the upper area of the top speaker, I searched for a product with holes instead of notches. I found
[3 Stück] Panzerglasfolie Schutzfolie für Google Pixel 3A,Tempered Glass 9H
for 4.99€ on amazon.de .
After I installed, it felt a bit sticky. But after using it for a couple of minutes, it felt great.
I am using ArmorSuit MilitaryShield
It's film, not glass but it's perfect with Spigen cace.

I know its not tempered glass, but I just slapped one of these on, and I am very happy.
Originally had the UAG screen protector that came with my case, which was crap.
It does not cover the entire screen, but I cant even tell that I have a screen protector on my phone. It is invisible.
I bought the HD Clear.
For $3.99, you cant go wrong until a decent glass screen protector comes out.

I heard good things about this screen protector. Does it have glass feel? I have spartan glass protector on mine and has halo around the edges. Mind posting some pic?
With your finger it feels nice, not rubbery like the UAG that I had on prior. With the S-Pen, it definitely doesn't feel like glass. Using the pen, with every swipe you know its plastic.
I don't use the pen often, so this is not an issue for me.
The only camera I have is the phone that the protector is on, sorry.
I bought the same ones and they're a great deal even if the price was doubled.
After 3 Weeks i got my Note Edge Healing Shield from Hongkong company Healing Shield.
http://healingshield.shoplineapp.com/products/5478a9a6039055c2e2000001
it comes with 3 pc shields (adhesive folio), microfaser cleaning rag, scraper and a remover sticker...the adhesive bonding folio is a litte bit strange, but works great. The panel is fully secured now, and the size of screen protector is 100%.
Love it!
I have it also and I don't like it.
It has that orange peel effect and makes my screen feel so rubbery.
I had no choice as it was the only screen protector that I could find for the Note Edge while I was vacationing in Singapore this past Christmas/New Year.
It does protect the screen and also the edge. I'd say it protects 90% of the screen but doesn't cover the the three sensors next to the ear piece on top and the bottom part after the home button.
I'm still waiting for the first tempered glass screen protector to be released for the Note Edge.
But the case I got for it is amazing. It is the Tridea case.
http://www.amazon.com/Tridea-Anti-S...dea+case&pebp=1422104071464&peasin=B00PI5O2WY
They are good because they are the best out of the very very few available full screen protector.
However they have many downsides too. For example, they are quite soft so when used with the s pen, it leaves dents and marks on the protecto. It feels quite sticky too at the sasame time so doesn't feel very easy for the fingers to glide on. It also dims quite a bit of the screen brightness and colours. When I compared my note edge with my note 3, the note 3 screen appeared to be brighter and more colourful. I conclude that it is probably due to the healing shield protector. It just doesn't make sense that the new note edge screen is inferior to the note 3 one.
There are 2 types of film. The clear type and anti-glare type. The anti-glare type is much better for s-pen.
i put the armorsuit screen protector, dont see fingerprints.. but do see where my s-pen has been lol. its only visible in the light and held at an angle. Just waiting for a tempered glass screen protector to come out next month
what does it mean by self healing? and if it was, then why would you need 3 then lol
unless its another gimmick like the g flex.
Does your armorsuit covers the whole screen, including the edge? TIA.
I got the Skinomi protector and I absolutely love it. It was easy to put on and was the first protector I'd ever installed myself without a single bubble.
The big difference between the Skinomi and the others I've seen is that the speaker and camera notches are cut out just for them and do not extend up. (Look on Amazon to see what I'm talking about - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NAJ07QU/) For $10 - best purchase ever for a phone.
Apparently, Skinomi will be announcing / releasing their tempered glass protector. I'll probably be picking that up when it comes out.
Correction - It was iloome I was thinking of - not Skinomi.
I agree. I just put a Skinomi on mine, and it is fantastic. Now, as for long term, don't know...but certainly a keeper. Just be patient and let it dry. Amazing.
Has anyone been able to apply a tempered glass screen protector and use the included bumper? Tried with mine but the bumper seems to push up on the screen protector from the edges..
I have a tempered glass protector on mine with the bumper without any issues, but the glass protector had terrible halo effect. Almost all do because this has a slightly curved screen like the Nexus 6 and manufacturers didn't account for it. Probably going to be a couple weeks before they start to release ones that don't lift up in the corners..
Same with me, terrible halo effect on left and right edges. (For those who don't know what this mean, it just means that the screen doesn't fit flush to the screen due to the curvature of the phone, and appears as if a giant bubble stretches around the whole screen protector's edges as if it looks like the screen protector is surrounded by a halo)

thats exactly what i was getting, but when i removed the bumper, the screen protector was good. Now im just worried about walking around with absolutely no protection from drops. first tempered glass screen protector and im loving it, but i think the only other alternative is a regular oleophobic protector
The skinomi glass protector actually fits very well with the bumper. I was initially annoyed about it being too small (width is just the size of the actual display, so it requires some precision/multiple attempts to align it right, best done with the bumper on). However there is no haloing on the sides, just some on the ears around the speakers, mostly the bottom, and the bumper doesn't interfere with it.
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?
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...Front-2PCS-Back-Soft/1879465_32831400367.html
Looking to buy this phone, any new news on protectors, or is IMAK our best option?
Thanks
I see this one on Amazon from Mocolo and it looks like it does? But its shipped from China...
Most of the glass screen protectors leave about 1-2mm of space from the screen to the edge but it's due to the rounded edges on the screen. Another issue that has been ongoing is that the glass screen protectors are not sitting well and there is a "Halo" effect around the edges of the screen on the screen protector.
So far the Skinomi, Phantom Skins style screen protectors sit the best but some have had minor issues with cases.
I just ordered the Mocolo screen protectors yesterday and I'm hoping they don't give the Halo effect.

"Halo effect" means not cut short enough.

Sort of, the halo effect can be related to the screen protector not being cut short enough (or too long) where the screen bevel begins and the adhesive does not adhere to the outside edges of the screen protector.
And/Or
The adhesive does not adhere to the outside edges of the screen protector causing an unsightly "halo effect" where there is a unsightly discoloration/visual issue.
It is easy enough to see on the multiple threads and or can be Google searched for more pictures or a better idea of what it looks like.

will be interested in how that Mocolo works out
Check out "Brotect" protectors. They do tempered glass, "air glass" and normal plastic ones, all clipped short of the curve and therefore case friendly.
Used one if their protectors on a previous phone and seemed fine. I have the airglass one for the ph-1 here but not fitted it yet
Skinomi just released one. I have their full coverage one and it is fantastic.
Update: forget about the Mocolo TGSP, it's cut too short on the sides. So much so I didn't even bother putting it on. I'm sure there won't be a Halo but it leaves about .5mm on either side when I did a test fit.
I've now purchased the lightning knight, Orzero 3rd gen (I think, this is the one with full adhesive but rounded black border, and Mocolo TGSP. Fitment wise the lightning knight (LK) fits the best but has Halo. The Orzero is wider than the LK but from what I've seen in the reviews the Halo is horrible. I'd also assume that it would be bad as the Orzero goes to where the screen starts to round at the edge, also it might be an issue with cases.
You can see the Mocolo on Amazon and the fitment issues in the purchaser gallery.
I have the mocolo in clear (not black) and unfortunately halo effect is pretty bad, just like the rest. Quite ugly so ripped it off and currently going without anything.
I gave up.
I'm going to use the approach of others with a liquid UV adhesive and a screen protector with no glue.
I've bought a few from Xtreme guard and they fit perfectly with any case!! Plus you can get em dirt cheap by searching for promo codes. Got mine for .99 each!!!
