Since the M2 has Gorilla Glass...is it necessary to have a screen protector on it?

Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936911.
Personally I haven't use protector for M1 and don't use it for M2 as well. Newer had any issue without it.
There isn't a need to apply a screen protector for m2 since it has gorilla glass.
The only instance which i think you would need a screen protector is if you carry your m2 in a pocketful of nails, which isn't probably the brightest idea.
Go ahead and youtube for gorilla glass, there's plenty of video of the gorilla glass being able to take plenty of abuse
OK cool. I guess screen protectors are pretty much uselss on a GG screen.
theres really no point using a screen protector on gorilla glass screen as many have said. however if u still want too, spend a few dollars getting one that will not affect the sensitivity of the screen
personally speaking, i never had a screen protector on my X1, and that didnt have GG, and it help up very well to my daily abuse for 2 years, hence i didnt bother getting one for my MS2

honestly speaking mate, no scratches at all. the rest of the phone is in pretty bad shape ie chips and dents and cracks but the screen is as good as new
I use screen protectors for ALL/ANY phone, "Gorilla Glass" or not, seen as I believe all phone screens can get scratched one way or another. Also, I found dat they never effect the functionality of da phone, and in some cases improve it, for example on da Xperia X10 & original Milestone. Gonna check out "Gorilla Glass" on YouTube anyway doe.

There not a urgent need to use screen protector due to the gorilla glass but does have some advantages:
- fingerprint free screen protector such as those from steinheil reduces the need to keep wiping your phone. I used both the crystal clear and the fingerprint free version, and personally really like the fingerprint free one although it does "blur" the display a little bit but only if I hold the phone right up to my face.
- the gorilla glass could still shatter, depending on the angle of fall. I know someone who had his screen shattered, but still continues to use it cracks and all. and it's still okay because the screen protector kept the screen in shape and protects the sliding fingers from the cracks.
I have an OtterBox screen protector on my device and it works flawlessly. I also have a Skinomi on reserve, so when I need to replace the OtterBox screen protector, I can. But Skinomi is by far the best on the market as of right now.
I must be unlucky then, cause having my ms2 in my pocket (with nothing in it) and pulled it out to find a small scratch - now have about 3 or more decent scratches on the screen. I've had it fall face down on pebbles and come out wthout a single scratch, but apparently lint and cotton are lethal for it... go figure :S.

I haven't used any screen protector
so far I have used milestone 2 for more than one year ,there is not any scars in the screen
so I think there is no need to buy the screen protector just use the phone with care
I had Milestone 1 for a year with no scratches on the Gorilla glass.so it is not necessary to buy a screen protector for M 2.
I dont use screen protector too... But i want some good case on my MM2... Do you have a case? Any to recomend?
Sry for my Eng.
yeah, i was looking for a case/screen protector but i couldn't find any to fit it,
the slide kb seems to be a problem in those cases
I use the OtterBox case (includes screen protector), it fits very well and protects the phone
Hello, as I assume most people have noticed, Huawei includes just as sony a screen protector, the question is is it really necessary ? Mate 7 is having gorilla glass 3, but even though it has gorilla glass 3 I have noticed the actual ability to stand drops to the ground is extremely different. It seem that these phones which have the whole front covered in glass just like Mate 7 are a lot more likely to crash, and more sensitive, I did experience this with my Lg G2 lately, samsung devices are better in this regard. I have seen non drop tests yet but because that the metall frame around it is very thin , I think it is more likely that when you drop the phone it will hit the glass.
The biggest irritation with the included protector I have noticed is that finger prints gets stuck very easily on the device, which make it look unclean very fast and you have to clean it often. One other thing is how does the screen protector affect image quality, have any one take it of so they can tell us if the difference is big or small ?
I am waiting for reports, how durable the glass is, I noticed for instance that LG G2 which I had before did get scratches on the glass VERY easily, which made me wonder if really had gorilla glass or not, while with my Old Galaxy note scratches was never a problem...
I will probably sell my device in mid 2015 waiting for the summer/autumn models or even spring.. I do not want ot destroy the second hand value by having scratches on the screen... but there is really no reports yet about how durable the phone is..
I never put a screen protector on gorilla glass. It will become dirty looking soon. Furthermore screen protector doesn't protect your screen from breaking, if it falls down. I had no scratches on my sgs2 after using for 3 years.

Alright good to know but i find it hard to believe that it will not add certain protection
From drops. Yeah I guess it will be more dirty after a while
After having of LG g2 I am sceptical since it did scratch very fast.
I've this one on top of my screen. It's fitting perfectly. Fingerprint resitance is much better as without it. I've the 9H*2.5D Round Edge variant bought @ amazon.de

I oleophobic screen protector : glass, H9. It's thin, antiglare, super easy to adjust and I just forget it in everyday life. And I feel much more confident when manipulating my phone or sticking it into my pocket.
yep, right

After reading some user manage to bend the phone I am now more worried about bending the phone then break the glass.
I have not decide yet what to do, I have decided atleast that I have to remove the original screen protector, it attach fingerprints way too easy..a real magnet for finger prints.
Regarding buying a new screen protector I am sceptical.. I have heard good things about panzerglass ? (from denmark)
I am just worried how it will affect image quality and feel/response of the digitizer.
i have screen protector applied already from manuf. it is very important.. no desorting screen at all ..

I have noted that the display is not anti fingerprint. So it looks dirty when off screen.
Is there any protector which is scratchless and also anti fingerprints?

Doesn't exist such thing man ..
First you have to realise why you making fingerprints and why scratches are made.. You fingers are CONSTANTLY wet bcos skin is obviously breathing.. secondly you will make scratch in metal easily .. so glass is very easy to scratch .. sapphire glass has diamond layer .. that means diamont is very robust, strong , but brittle.. when you drop it it cracks IF it's thin ..
If you want screen protector and not to see fingerprints , there is solution BUT screen won't be clear but matt .. here

Thank you very much man. Before I was having Galaxy phone with gorilla glass and amoled screen. I had no fingerprints and scratches although I used it for 3 years without any screen protector or cover.

Ive noticed something odd with my mate 7, I have purchased 4 different tempered glass screen protectors and every single one has not properly attached itself on the botton left hand corner. This leads me to believe that the phone screen isnt completely flat. I thonk its possible the phone has bent ever so slightly which makes applying a rigid glass protector impossible. Anyone else had similar?

Mine looks "straight" but you never know it might be hard to see if it has been bent very slightly...
Obviouisly this with bending phones has become a bigger problem I guess in the last 2 years since the phones are getting bigger... that made me think of th LG G Flex, which in this context seem very superior and impressive, since it was impossible to make it change the curve, even if you sit on it..should be possible to do the same techonolgy to make it be straight instead of bent ?
Just an update on this...I noticed this morning when the ceiling strip light was reflecting on my screen that it is actually rippled at the top (around speaker) and bottom left
I presume this is a manufacturing defect as I didnt think you could bend gorillas glass?
Think I may contact the seller. Can anyone else confirm their screen is warped?
My screen is completely flat and the Nilkin tempered glass protector fits perfect, without a single bubble. But i've tried two others, too, believe me, the protector you've bought is a bad one. You find a link in my post on pg 1.
I have now removed the original plastic film screen protector.. it looks better without it for sure..
I have not decided yet if I should buy a glass protector yet..
I wonder have any one done the deep reserach, I hear many recommendations but it is hard to decide if I do not know if the person have done proper research of the the best on the market right now..
Not looking for a screen protector in case someone thinks I've posted in the wrong place.
My question is, does the OP6 come with a screen protector already fitted?
Have been using ******* screen protector with no probs. Anyway, yesterday found a crack and removed the protector and was glad it wasn't the screen. Went to refit a new one and as I was cleaning saw that there is already a film protector on there. Is this standard?
Works ok with 2 protectors anyway!!!! ?
Yes, there is a screen protector already fitted, been running without any protection for a while now. No scratches thus far. (3 months atleast now I believe.)
Planning to get the Redmi K20 Pro but would like to keep it minimal in terms of protection. Just need some scratch protection.
Seen Gadgetshieldz full body screen protector as one of the recommendations.
https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/xiaomi-redmi-k20-pro-screen-protector-guards.html
Anything else that can be used without adding much bulk just for scratch protection? Don't want to hide those lovely patterns on the k20 back.
You should be able to use any screen protector for the Mi Mix 3 we they have the same screen size.

Have you seen or tried the Mobile Outfitters films for front, back or whole size?
So I recently got my Mi 9T pro and found this thread while looking for a screen protector.
Has anyone tried the linked one from gadgetshieldz? If yes, good experiences? Does it cover the complete screen? I really can't stand the glass protectors which leave like 2mm of the screen on each side completely uncovered...

bought Glazedinc screen protector.. its hard and solid. covered every side.
I am using The Ringke Red Case, along with a generic Hydragel screen Protector from AliExpress (₹65). Till now my phone has had atleast 6-7 falls of which 2 were serious enough to stop the heart but zero bumps or cracks...
I haven't felt the need for over priced screen protectors from Glazedinc or anyone else...
Previously i used to use S-sheildz (Origin of GadetshieldZ from USA). Had to use water to apply the film but it was good enough that in my 7+ years of using them never had a screen scratch.... Or crack.. But can't find a source anymore. And Don't want pay more then 200 per screen guard....

once the Hydragel screen protector is applied, can that be removed .. when we dont want it..
I am using a nillkin screen protector 0.33mm without the black edges. Fits perfect without any bubbles or ring effect. So far the best screen protector for this phone if you want a glass screen protector. It has good olephobic coating so it's smooth and because I got the 0.33mm version they don't crack easily.
Where did you buy that? I have Nillkin tempered glass screen 0.2mm from Amazon India. It doesn't cover the whole screen. It doesn't even cover the display area completely. It also has halo around the edges even though I went to mobile phone store and asked them to apply the screen protector.
This is in fact my 3rd screen protector. I applied 2 others - one which had black edge which covered part of the display, and second one without black edges which also didn't cover the entire display.
I've also bought a set of 2 from GearBest, but I haven't applied it as it's the same size as the Nillkin one.
2 more on the way from Aliexpress, but I'm not too hopeful about them either. I don't want to take chance with another Nillkin, but you've found one that covers the entire screen and the edges stick properly as well, then I'd like to try it.

Oh easily,,, It's just some kind of plastic+rubber film that is preventing any scratches on my screen... Should offer enough protection from breaks also...
I'm using Clearplex on the screen with this phone. Is awesome. The case in the box is nice but not very strong, it's breaking in corners without getting hit or fallen.
I ordered hydrogel back film (Im waiting for it from Aliexpress) and a Nillkin transparent cover to have a couple of options.
Does transparent Nillkin cover get yellowish after a couple of months?

Hey guys and gals,
Has anybody tried a frosted/matte/anti-glare screen protector with the 9T PRO/K20 Pro? Which one?
Have you noticed any changes with the performance of the fingerprint sensor?
Thanks!

Hmm I bought in lazada which is like aliexpress but for my country the 0.33mm one doesn't breakf easily and I understand what you mean by not fitting fully it does have like a gap of few cm of the edges. But a case solves this. I am using spoken case btw. it doesn't have the rainbow effect though. When I got it and install I just push the bubbles out from the side the rainbow effect is gone. Idk maybe different place they use different kind of glass. I am using Redmi k20 pro btw
A near-disaster today, fortunately the screen protector saved the day, but was scraped through to the glass, so it is now removed.
Anybody got any recommendations for the best replacement (It's for Mate 40 RS - but I think all 3 variants have the same screen?)
I don't mind glass (sometimes easier to fit bubble free) but only if the fingerprint sensor still works 100% (never did with my Samsungs!)
Thanks for your thoughts.
Before the curved screens ruined the tempered glass strategy for me I always bought Nillkin tempered glasses. For my Galaxy Note 9 I didn't like them but I decided now to try again.
I ordered this one: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrySJ4R
It hasn't arrived yet but when it comes I will give feedback.
For my wife's P40 Pro I tried liquid glue(uv cured) glass protector but I hate these things. The glue always spills a bit somewhere and it's very hard to clean it. Also it starts to loosen on the edges very quickly.
Update: I received it but don't like it very much. It sticks for now and no problems for touch but still not very pleasant on the sides. I think I will look for a non glass one....

i searched for a bit. There are glasses with UV glue, which shoul fit best for this kind of screen. But i doubt glue would go far enough. I need to test one, theyare about 4 dollars. For now for all edge screens, uv was best. In my country, you can get foil for screen installed free in huawei store for weekends. Check it out.

I've tried liquid glue too but on my wife's P40 Pro. It started to loosen up on the edges very fast. Also if you don't clean very well any glue spills are quite nasty and difficult to remove postfactum. I also tried to go in a store for a different liquid glue one and while the guy kept it clean(no spills) it again started to loosen up on the edges very fast. :X

ah yes, i am only guy around here who know how to do them professionally. But it realyl depends on glue qulity and quantitie. Last time i messed up oneplus 7 pro so bad haha. But i am guessing mate 40 pro special waterfall screen must be pain in the butt
I've been using those hydrogen films ever since curve screens. most have what they say self healing, which is not bad considered that once glass ones chipped and you have to replace. so far its been good, never had any cracked screens from drops or anything( knock on wood)
Well got 2 glass protectors with uv glue. It kept getting bubbles underneath, messed up all the glue, cleaned, and i am gonna use it without protection hahaha
For anyone who has been using the Mate 40 Pro without a screen protector, how have the screens held up?
I've been trying to find decent protectors and so far I've been disappointed. Either they're too small and don't get to the edge of the curve or they cover the front camera.
