Official screen protector in europe - Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Questions & Answers

As a Z Flip owner i try to be carefull with my screen but it already have micro scatches.
Now i saw a video with some one in the US having an official applied screen protector from samsung.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRuB55Oo4ic&t
I contacted customer service here in the netherlands and they gave me some stupid answer..."There are no screen protectors for the Z flip, because the Z flip have already an protection layer"
So i wonder how is the rest of Europe deal with this and why don't we have it here yet and is it even planned to release here?

hello,
I have a screen protector but I bought it on Taobao for 8 EURO. Looks same as the one i saw in the video. I am in China and my Z Flip is from Korea.
regards

Samsung Hong Kong offers free first time screen protector for Z Flip, after that will be around 15Euros to replace

i used to put a screen protector on my flip...
the quality of zflip screen protectors on the market is bad since only some small manufacturers will make it(because installing a screen protector isn't "allowed" by Samsung")... So I recommend not using one, and if you installed a screen protector there is a chance to damage the screen layer when peeling it off.

I'm in the UK and just made use of the free official Samsung screen protector service. I just went to a Samsung Service Centre in London and left the phone with them for an hour. They applied the proper Samsung one for me, at no cost. Apparently they use some UV technique to apply it but whatever they did it was excellent. You can barely tell there is even one on there, the only clue is the cut out around the camera.
You can only get it done for free once but if you need it re-done it's only like £20.

Hoping I can find N1 pouch some time soon(ish).

Possible stupid question
Does using a screen protector degrade the touch screen performance?
I used to have a T-Mobile Vario II and never used a protector and got away with it. The phone went in my pocket and did clash with keys and things occasionally, no detectable damage though.
Do screen protector users let their children out to play? Or are they correct to take care?

Not at all i notice no difference using a screen protector.
i like the look of this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEATHER-Holst...ccessories?hash=item255995c546#ht_2078wt_1161
I have just ordered this one -- for that price + free delivery it can't go wrong
However, I hope I can get my hands on Nexus One pouch some day.
Great, I can't order the official ones from play.com because they only deliver this product in the UK. Really, I mean, reallyyyyyy?

Just bought it for £9.95 just need my desire now
Screen protector from Amazon UK (not tried it myself):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vikuiti-DQC-160-screen-protector-Desire/dp/B003CAQAAY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269823681&sr=8-1-fkmr0
I've ordered the Vikuiti ones and they are not good. From what I can see the cut-out is just a simple rectangle, it will not cover the full glass area of the phone but probably only the part that is actually displaying something. I find that utterly useless.
Now I've ordered the ones from BoxWave where they show how they did the cut-out on their website. That's the way it should be done...

There are a few on eBay claiming to be for the Desire but you can clearly see they dont match all the openings, eg, the flash.
Got this one - didn't really like it. Found it too stiff/hard.
If anyone wants to give it a go, I'll mail it for free within EU.
Whoever PMs me first with their address, gets it
EDIT: case was given-away to er_yeah.
i have just got a mofi case for £4.95 it seems fairly universal size but it is lined with micro fiber so it cleans your phone when you put it in.

Surely, you can get the nexus one silicon case (the ones that dont have the bottom covered where the desire buttons would be). They are practically the same size, give or take fractions of a mm here or there.
Anyone found a good silicone cover/skin yet?

[Q] XtremeGUARD Screen Protector/ FULL BODY LCD Screen Protector Case

Hi Guys,
Just wonder any1 using it, review, especially the FULL BODY one?
link: shop.ebay.com/xtreme_guard/m.html?_nkw=lg+optimus+t
i am using it and can recommend it !!
will it work for my lg optimus one p500 as the discriptn was for optimus t
yes, it will

thanx i just bought it now
Built-in Screen Guard
I live in India, and "I think" the P500 here comes with a screen guard. There's this plastic screen which seems to be layered over the black screen bezel on my phone. I tried chipping it, and the edge of the plastic did seem to come off. So how do I know for sure.
Its highly probable the Indian version comes with a screen guard, since we pretty much get a fully loaded phone, along with 40 odd apps (Incl NDrive and Layar) and support for Flash 10.1.
i got a zagg full body protection and to me thats the best buy...i have it on my devices and quality is superb. also doesnt have that rubbery feeling and residue i get from others.
i swear best 20bucks i spent.
Ordered a full body from Zagg, thanks for the tips!
But there isn't optimus one on zagg. Is cover for optimus T equal to optimus one?

$5 is too much? Shipping is for free (to czech it was)
I just finished installing the full body protection, allthough the buttons and the silver binding aren't protected, is this normal? Or did I forget to put on something.
Also the squeezee tool you get for leveling the protector actually scratched the protector.
This isn't much of a big deal but kinda strange that a little plastic could scratch this millitary-grade material that easely. Did this happen to anybody else?

Holycrap, how did your P500 come with support for Flash 10.1? Mine also came with a screen protector, I'm in Australia. I thought all phones were supposed to come with them as long as you buy it from a reputable shop? On the top left of the screen protector, there's a square cut out and I have absolutely no idea what its for lol. But its the original cover and I've had no problems with it so far.

Well i just put on the Zagg Full Body Protection and now just leaving it over night to let it settle down. But yea looks great so far and i'll post some pictures in the following days for the end result.
Lol I'm from India and no we do NOT have flash 10.1 support, it just says so on the box and now newer models ship without that flash thingy written, so yeah.
The plastic that comes with the phone its just a temp protector, after a while itll peel out, start losing stickiness, become annoying, etc, its the same that covers every electronic screen/glossy part, a thin annoying film
My Xtremeguard arrived a few weeks ago, so far so good, applying it is a bit annoying but meh .

Sprint has hard cases for Arrive in stores now, ready for the 20th. I got to take a look at it but didn't get a price.
They have the holsters and shell style cases think the shell is just the gel though. I like the holster its not bulky but seems it may fall out easy cuz it don't have a front fascia plate.

My wife tried it in the store, it is not bad actually. Not too bulky, looks kind of fancy.
But I really just want a good screen protector, my sprint store had none.
Ya, I don't like that their screen protectors only cover the viewing part of the screen, not the entire glass front.....I'm going to look into phantomSkins and see if they have them yet. Thanks for the info.
I remember that there were none screen protectors for 7 PRO in february (so i think that i will not buy it now) but i remember that i found some official HTC shop, saying that it will be aviable in march. Original screen protectors, go & buy them

Doesn't the Arrive use Gorilla Glass or whatever the EVO uses? If so, then no need for a screen protector. My EVO has been in my jean pocket since I got it last June with zero scratches or marks.

Just in case anyone is interested. The screen protector for the Shift matches the screen size for the 7 Pro perfectly. I bought a set in a Sprint store and that's what I am using.
As someone mentioned it's only for the viewable part of the screen; it doesn't make it down to the buttons which is what I wanted anyway.
I bought 2 screen protectors for the Arrive for my wife and I on Ebay from Clearfreak. They were cheaper on ebay than on their own website.
It is supposed to cover the entire glass.
I plan to install it on 1 phone and not the other to test out how thick it is, and if it degrades the sensitivity etc. I will post pictures/review once it comes in.

I did the same, except my last two experiences at applying a protector (and using the cardboard piece to clear off the air bubbles) was QUITE the failure
Luckily, my friends have told me any Sprint store will do it for free for you if you bring the cover and phone in. Sounds stupid, but somehow, I've never been able get those dreaded things to stay..
I will say, the protectors from clearfreak are primo. for 3.99, thumbs way the hell up
I'm using the screen protector for the evo shift, and its good.
Regarding Bluetooth; which ones are you guys using out there? Any recommendations for optimal performance regarding text to speech and announcing callers id names?
it's been a long time coming since the phone's release, but the boxwave cleartouch screen protector is really good. You can't tell its there after applying (it looks like glass). Had this on my old diamond back in the day and worked well for years.
Old thread, I know, but I'm still rockin' my 7 Pro. I wish US Cellular would get the Lumia phones.
Anyway I just want to add that the BodyGlove case for this phone (designated as an HTC Arrive case) is fantastic and is less than $5 with free shipping on Amazon.
I can't post links here until I get 10 posts, so just search for "Body Glove Glove Snap-On Case for HTC Arrive" in Amazon.
Mine has survived several drops on pavement with no damage to the phone.

[Q] Looking for Screen Protector Suggestions

I Have noticed form coming from a iPhone 3GS I noticed even at full brightness I can barley see the screen in the light and i never have it on full brightness to save battery So what im asking is are there any screen Protectors out there that anyone could suggest that would help me to see the screen better on sunny days
Well I've had multiple screen protectors, and none of them have even come close to being as good as the one i got from Vikuiti. I was told that Martin Fields (too grippy) made a high quality screen protector, but I was not impressed and found this one for my HD2 after rave reviews on the HD2 forum.
This screen protector is so good I have taken my old HD2 one and cut it down for the Desire Z until I get my specific Desire Z one. I have re-stuck it a few times, and it looks good as new, I hate it when you can tell the screen protector is on, but you cant with this.
The below link it not to the exact model I had on my HD2 (there is one called ADQC and one called DQC, I have the DQC at present, but might get the ADQC listed below because it suggests its more anti-glare)
http://www.protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-screen-protector-adqc27-htc-desire-z-43109.html
I currently use an anti-glare screen protector that came free with my dcmugen case.
It is better than the glossy screen protector I had before. Plus, it doesn't attract fingerprints which sometimes obscures vision.

I will also vouch for the Vikuiti ADQC model. My order was shipped on June third and I received it today- June ninth.
As for the screen protector itself, I am extremely satisfied with it. This protector allows me to view the G2's screen as it is supposed to be seen: as though there is nothing on the screen at all. Side to side is nearly a perfect fit and top to bottom there is maybe a mm of space uncovered below the soft buttons (home, menu ...) At a glance, the only giveaway that there is a screen protector on the phone is the cutout for the light and proximity sensors.
They aren't cheap but I believe they are worth the cost.

I just noticed your post. Sorry it's taken me months to reply, although it has given me a MUCH larger sample size to form my opinion from. The screen protector is still great! It is really tough. Admittedly, I baby my phone a bit. That said, I finally got a scratch on the first screen protector (I ordered 3) about 2 Weeks ago. Other than that it is almost exactly as it was the first day I applied it. I've been meaning to apply the second one but don't need to. I would say it is definitely worth the extra cost as in the time I've had this one on I had gone through at least five other brands including the t mobile one & some I got from Amazon.

Tempered glass problem fixed. Found a work around :)

Hello Everyone..
Just like you all I too was sad that P2 had bubbles in the corners.
I finally found got a workaround so wanted to share my experience.
The solution for me was to buy a tempered glass with "6H" hardness instead of the regular "9H" ones.
These are slightly flexible and hence do not form bubbles in the crners where the screen is bent.
I bought "JMM Flexible Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Lenovo P2" from Amazon India.
I dont know if we're allowed to post links here. If yes let me know and I'll post the link.
Thanks...Hope this helps. Enjoy the P2
Yes please...
But then 6H is really not tempered glass is it? It's more of a plastic AFAIK

There are other Flexible Tempered glasses too on Amazon.
Its not as flexible as they show in images...Almost like glass (dont know exactly what material)
Once on the phone it looks just like tempered glass...plus all the tempered glass features like olephobic coating etc etc...
Thanks! I've placed an order. Will review it once it arrives
A workaround that is claimed to work is to put the tempered glass screen protector (even one which is 9H) on top of one of the PET sort (maybe because PET is both flexible and cheap?). https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums...sage-id/3761/print-single-message/true/page/1

Honestly I would not suggest 2 screen guards one over the other.
Specially when one layer is the regular screen guard which is not so clear...Having 2 will surely affect display quality and may impact touch response.
However if you do try it let us know the results.
Thanks

Update1: tried it on sticks on perfectly fine at the bend areas, thanks to @sammys3
However, the sides come of if not stuck properly. It's easy to apply though. Small mis alignment may place the protector to the curved edges and won't stick.
Will keep this on for sometime and see. Will update after a week of usage.
Overall pretty happy with it. I'd recommend it

Hey its a nice found ,but the tempered glass is a slightly blue tilted one.the display of the screend changed after keepin it ? Any alternative?

This one I guess: https://www.amazon.co.uk/OMOTON-Len...d=1509293091&sr=8-1&keywords=omoton+lenovo+p2
But since you're in india, I don't see any way for you to get your hands on one, amazon.in don't sell these.
Be careful however, it may work for some, but for me it didn't. See here: https://www.amazon.de/product-revie...UTF8&filterByStar=three_star&showViewpoints=0
The bending of the screen caused these white air-bubbles to occur at the sides. While not being as terrible as the bog-standard tempered glass screen protectors, it was still too bad for me, so I'll just stick to plastic protectors.
Oh, and the work around posted here: Didn't work for me either. The tempered glass protector just pulled the plastic one up, so I still had air-bubbles. Well, it was worth a try ^^
Get the clear filler....

Strange thing, not everyone lives in Delhi and the cost of travel may outweigh the price in the market
is not lenovo p2 already using gorilla glass? I think it seems better like that without protector. because it looks more natural right?

I just got my screen glass few cracks in it, I just want the screen glass only [gorilla glass only] is it is available there? What will be the price range?
Or I should buy the complete set for replacement? Super amoled display for 2-3k? I don't want cheap lcd display replaced. Your answers will be helpful...
kirtikhurana said:
Led screen could be used from any Samsung phone like J7 pro or similar size which can be used in the existing touch panel of P2 but if you also broke touch digitizer then you have to replace whole folder(including the front panel) which has to be of only P2 if front panel is available in market or P1(maybe) can be fit.
If you led screen panel is intact than no need to replace while folder but repair shops install whole folder because extracting led screen from touch panel may broke it also.
There even iPhones folder won't cost more than 3500 but main issue is the availability of front panel of P2.
if you want repair shop phone number. I'll give you.
