Does OPO need screen protector

So my OPO arrives tomorrow, but the screen protectors I ordered won't arrive until sometime next week. My question is, should I wait to receive the screen protectors to use it or should I just use it like normal without a screen protector? Any feedback is appreciated!

I'm using without a screen protector. It states to be Gorilla Glass, so I don't think it's necessary. But that's my own opinion.

It's just like any other modern smartphone with Gorilla glass. Some users prefer screen protectors, some (including me) don't use anything. Up to you to decide.

Do you get any scratches? Even tiny ones? I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and the smallest scratches bother me

Also no... I don't use cases or protectors (should have done that on my old phone, had to replace display there...)

Even Gorilla Glass can get scratched, like sand for instance will do a number on it. All depends on how careful or unlucky you are. My Note 2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, OPPO Find 7A and OPO are all/were naked and none of them had a scratch on them. I'm also very careful in how I handle and pocket my phones.

On my Nexus 4, and Note 3 I noticed small scratches from just putting it in my pockets. Any tips on how to maintain it scratch free?

I have a microfiber cloth that came with a laptop a few years ago so it's relatively large, maybe 6" X 6" and when I pocket the phone I wrap the cloth around it. I also NEVER put anything else in my left front pocket, money, credit cards, car key, etc. so I minimize the risk of getting dirt or grit in my pocket to scratch the phone, front or back. If it's that big of a deal then get one of the glass screen protectors and bumper case, that should ease your mind.

use a screen protector if it's only from being in your pocket, how about using a flip cover? I bought one with my One, and they are really high qualitiy, especially for that price!

I live in Florida and I have never used a screen protector on any phone starting with the OG Moto Droid.
I go to the beach all the time and I have never had one scratch on any of my phones. I am super careful with them.

I'm using the Orzly glass screen protector from Amazon and absolutely love it. My phones always have glass protectors and always sell well when I get bored.

I ordered the Orzly one. How long did it take for it to arrive for you? Mine shipped Monday

Ordered Thursday received it monday

I never used one in my life. It looks like crap.

I don't use screen protectors and never get scratches. Partly because I don't like the loss of ANY touch sensitivity and I really suck at installing them and it drives me NUTS if there's a piece of dust under the protector.

I would go with Tempered Glass 9H protectors. Every phone should have a screen protector in my opinion. Even Saphire displays are defenseless to fine grains in your pocket.

You sound exactly like my friend, even he has a microfiber cloth in his pocket all the time. Personally I don't like the feel of touch with the screen guard on, but I regret it as I broke few screens may be now I will start using one.

Note 7 edge to edge full adhesive screen protector

I have skimmed through the pages in the other tempered glass screen protector threads. I have yet to find a manufacturer who makes an edge to edge protector that adheres to the entire screen rather than just the top and bottom.
My issue is that with a water proof device, anytime it is exposed to water (every day for me as I place it on the shelf in the shower to listen to music), water becomes trapped underneath the tempered glass.
Anyone picked up a model that would remedy this?

no one currently makes one

Why did you feel the need to open a whole new thread for something that has been discussed at length in many other threads? no, there is no solution yet.

Doesn't the official Samsung one do this ?

The official Samsung one is plastic, not glass.

The official Samsung one is not tempered glass.
I strongly advice against getting curved tempered glass. Or any screen protector with curve protection.
I got my replacement Note 7 and I decided to just use a flat film protector and leave the sides exposed. So much easier to use this way.

which flat one did you get!

It feels like **** though. I had an IQ Liquid Shield on my old Note 7, and it felt nice in the hand. Barely a bump in feeling, some around the edges but not really noticeable. This current new Note 7 has factory screen protectors, both front and back. But they feel sharp and edgy, they don't cover the curves. I have actual sleeping nightmares about applying a brand new IQ Liquid Shield protector I already have, and it peeling horribly at corners. fEa.r me..?

Yeah. So I got my replacement n7 today. Picked up a Qmadix "first defense" screen protector. Guess what? It's edge to edge and the adhesive goes all the way around the screen. Just got out of the shower (phone got soaked), no water under the glass.
There is no reason to be rude.. Obviously, the other threads "discussed at length" on the subject failed to stumble upon this gem.
Thanks everyone. I'm only 5 hours in but I have no complaints. No halo, sits flush. Thicker than the Verizon branded one I had previously. Has kind of a unique cut out for the Samsung logo. I also purchased a camera, hearbeat sensor, and home button glass.. I'm set lol.
Edit: forgot to mention the Qmadix also comes in all three colors. I purchased black respectively.

i tried dozens of them looks just like that, most of them only have adhesive on the sides or the top+bottom. all returned.
i suspect this one will be the same, but its not available to purchase on Amazon yet. Guest i will try this too.
i will report see how it goes. but i have no hope at all.
case friendly and curved too on the design like that..?? dont know thats legit or not.

This will work 100%, even my case won't peel the screen cover.

you must get this specific version for the full cover. there's a lot of different variations. also let the film completely dry before you even attempt to wrap down the sides. you can use your palms, squeegee, and blow dryer. Remember the water spray is only for help with placement. When this film dries, its very stick and adhesive.
i just hate TPU material, its spongy, soft, leaves imprints and a weird texture. but it does full cover. tempered glass and PET film will never do that.

the sides of the case overlap the screen protector with zero lifting. it would obviously work the same way for any case, even those that cover the top and bottom

I have the same protector updated version on my note 7. Did the shrink wrap trick too when i applied it. Came out nice after 12hrs. Once I put my UAG case it started to lift edges. I had to use a credit card to slide case phone in without lifting edges. So I thought I was all good right. Nope a day later it started to lift on the top side and bottom side. I have to smooth it back to down continuously. So either you got lucky or you case does not life the edges.

maybe it was the way you put it on? as in one side you will comfortable be able to tuck it under but the other side kinda snapped on and slid/lifted the cover in order for the case to snap on?

Just installed this. I think i know why most companies only use glue on the top or bottom. The quality of the product is good. The packaging is great but i would rather get something a little more simple and maybe save on the cost.
I have yet to turn on my replacement N7 so i cant speak on clarity but the fit is decent. It even works with my Seidio Dilex case on even though its "full screen"
Here is my one problem so far (its only been an hour since install) there is a slight clicking sound when you press on some areas. The edges etc. This is the reason why i think most companies dont use glue on the sides. I think this is where the clicking sound is coming from. I think i installed it as best as i could but who knows. Maybe its my fault.
Im going to try to use it for a while to see how well it works and if i can stand the clicking sound. This is my 1st glass screen protector for the N7 and i dont think ill try more in the future. I just wanted to try one out.

Need a Screen protector [Plastic or glass]

I hate to ask this question again, but it's really hard to find a screen protector that goes from edge to edge. This kind doesn't protect the whole screen.
Does anyone have a screen protector that goes from edge to edge? I don't care if it's plastic or glass, but hopefully, it's on amazon as I am trying to get one in the next few days instead the next few months. {Looking at you chinese sellers of ebay.}
I have this case by TPU Gel.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I didn't know that of glass protectors. How long does it take for the glass to break down from the corners?
I have only used a screen film or the plastic protectors once on my last phone for two years, and it held up quite well. But it did start to lose a layer or two of the screen protector after heavy use. But I don't mind this at all, I just need something to protect the phone and I'll replace it after another two years if I am still using said phone.

I am still looking for suggestions from people who has already bought protective screens for their Honor 8.

Isn't this the same thing as the two links below? Hopefully not, those reviews aren't that good. I saw that your link was posted before in another thread. I may just buy it as well, but I don't want to be without a protector for over a month.

if u buy edge to edge u'll get it bricked fast cause it will be raised out of edges !if ur phone fall in any side it will brick ,
it should have small gap like couple millimeters before edge

I don't use plastic films since I know de glass protectors. Plastic films can't protect of a fall or big scratches. And it's very unconfortable !
With the glass : really good protection, the touch is very comfy, and the scratches even the big ones can't does anythig to the screen. BUT, when we have a screen like the one of the Honor 8 (it's called 2.5D, it's a bit curved) you can't have protection on the extremes edges cos they can't do a curved glass.
Sorry for my bad english.

I'm using a plastic film protector because the glass protectors cannot cover the entire screen.
I received mine with my Nilkin cover and have had it on for about a month and so far the scratches that are on it are very superficial and cannot be seen when the screen is on (and barely when it is off).
It's not as good as glass when it comes to scratch resistance but it sure does the job well.
Beware of cheap protectors as they wear out quicker according to my experience.

Buy this one. It is supposed to be soft and should cover the whole screen. Mine got delivered to the wrong address so I am ordering it again. The glass protectors are absolutely crappy for 2.5d edges. Https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...i-explosion-screen-protector/32723814105.html
Get this case as well. I have it currently and its awesome. Doesn't add to the bulk and looks perfect on the phone. A lot better than the tpu one I ordered earlier.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Msv...oth-Matte-Cover-Hard-PC-Back/32749624891.html

Plastic is cheaper to bulk buy and if it scratches or the ends peel off it can be replaced, glass can crack easily depending on how much you're willing to spend on a screen protector and the brand name

I actually bought the cover and received a plastic screen protector with it. Here's the link: NILLKIN super frosted shield case for huawei Honor 8 case back cover case with 1 screen protector as gift
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/32700318450/32700318450.html
I've attached a picture of the screen protector.

+1 for the Nilkin glass screen protector Doesn't quite cover edge to edge and about 1.5mm aren't fully adhered around edge leaving a bit of that 'halo' effect, but it doesn't bother me. Screen is well protected, the small gap is really just cosmetic.
Currently using it with This. The front edge is raised quite a bit so can't feel the edge of the screen protector at all.

So i received it today and I've put it now. It looks very cool. But unfortunately I put it a little bit wrong. Delivery time was around 20 days. I'm really happy

nice . hope that keeps ur phone out of scratches

Any screen protectors that don't suck?

I just got my essential phone and I'm really honestly digging it. I think that it's a very nice phone that fits my needs well.
However, within a day and a half I have already scratched my screen. Its dead center on the screen and like an inch long Literally got the phone on Saturday and scratched it by Monday early AM. I didn't do anything with the phone besides take it in and out of my pocket. Didn't even make it to work with the phone yet. So I'm pretty upset about that.
I know it's gorilla glass 5, but I have never scratched a phone so quick before. Hell my old phone (Moto X pure) Only had one small scratch after running it for 2.5 years without any screen protection at all, including numerous drops and rough handling.
So I guess a screen protector is a must. I ordered a tudia case and a tempered glass screen protector off Amazon. The screen protector is garbage. I hate it. The edges of the screen protector do NOT stick down, even without the case. The edge all the way around the screen is lifted. It looks terrible.
Are there any screen protectors for this phone that are actually decent? I would rather deal with the chance of more scratches than stare at this awful screen protector with unstuck edges.

Photo of the terrible edges.

I'm curious to know too

I haven't found a good tempered glass for this phone. They all seem to have issues. I've been using the IQ Shield wet install screen protector. Not tempered glass but looks and feels great (almost as smooth as glass), self healing and works with cases if you get the case friendly version.

glass screen protectors are nicer, but they suck on this phone.
I went with wet install plastic in the end because it does the main reason for one, protect from scratches, I'm confident it will.
I just hate the wet install process.
but my experience with glass is it doesn't protect from breaking anyway. any significant hit that would break the screen will break the screen no matter what. I think a bumper case is most effective.

I'm using the this one.

You need to clean your screen really, really, really good before you apply it.
Any oils will show up as a rainbow effect or something close.
I've been using it for weeks now with no lifting with a Tudia case.
Some people say they pop off. That has not been my experience. YMMV

I also use this one. I have actually already gone through 5 of them... It seems like some of them are more sticky than others maybe. Initially I used them without out a case and they would come off all the time, but since I've had the Tudia case 1 fell off and the new one has been on there 3 weeks.
My opinion is they are hit or miss... just hope 1 of 3 is good.

My guess is that these don't stick to the edges as well, but they are black, so you can't see it, therefor they peel off

Manufacturers not that bright?

I use incipio, be careful, the installation instructions are very tricky, I messed up mine while installing, lost 40$
I'm waiting to see if they will send me a new one

So is the Incipio screen protector any good? I don't even care that it's $40, if it sticks down properly without the bubble around the edges I'll buy it.

I am also interested in finding a better screen protector. I have been using the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin, which worked great for a few weeks, but now a corner is peeling up, I assume from pulling it in and out of my pocket. I might go ahead and get another one if I can't find anything better. Would love a tempered glass protector if someone actually makes a decent one!

Where did you purchase? I'm not even seeing it for the Essential PH-1 on the official website....Nevermind, had to do a manual search for our model.

Screen protector - NOT tempered glass but "old school" film

Hello all, I have tried a couple of tempered glass screen protectors; I have also read many many reviews.
It seems that there is no tempered glass protector that would be full screen; fit (most) cases and does not release on the edges for all.
I actually did not mind the screen protector which was installed by 1+ when I got the phone (and I did not like the tempered glass ones I tried).
So I contacted them today asking if I could buy a couple of those. To my biggest disappointment I was advised that although I am not the first one to ask, they do not consider the included screen protector to be a "product" and so they do not sell it even if I wanted a large quantity.
I spent some time researching ebay - but most (nearly all) sellers sell only tempered glass (which I don't want). The few seller that sell films are very expensive ($10+ vs. $1 for the tempered glass). That is also surprising as the cost of the film is much less...
So, my question to you all: who has tried film screen protectors? Where did you get it from and what experience did you have?
Thank you for sharing

I personally use 3MK Flexible glass - its hibrid glass. I use it from years, now on OP6. I think its the best option for any phone

I find this to be the pretty close and its an 8 pack.

Just ordered me a set.

Im waiting for my iqshield to be delivered next week. Got some high hopes. Gave up on tgsps as there is none currently i would be happy about. Not even the original one.

I'm thinking of getting those from gadgetshieldz. do they ship door to door? or pass it into your local post office?

How is the fit on those? Can you possibly snap a pic of it on your phone with a case on as well?

I don't have one installed at the moment, testing a G-Most TPG. But the fit is pretty precise, need patience to get it even on both sides. It's case friendly.

I installed it. its a little bigger than I'd like. if it were maybe 1 cm smaller all around it would be perfect fit. im sure you can align this to fit correctly, but it leaves no room for error. ill try and get a pic.

Hmm, thats not good. Is it equally too big each way or is it just difficult to install totally centered, so its big on one side only?
A pic would help for sure.

I finally found regular PET protectors similar to the OEM ones that fit the phone well and are of good quality. I got them from here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/5X-Ultra-Thin-Tempered-Glass-PET-Soft-HD-Screen-Protector-Film-For-OnePlus-6/163161457336?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=462326426650&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
The adhesive is pretty sticky on them so they don't lift off but it's hard to get them perfectly bubble free. The way I get these on perfect every time is put rubbing alcohol all over the screen then apply the protector and set it in place exactly centered (it's easy to move because of the alcohol) Then lightly push down on it and very lightly push out some of the alcohol so you don't see any bubbles. Then wait five minutes and peel off the front layer then lightly with a small cloth push out the rest of the bubbles. When the alcohol dries (takes about 10-15 mins) it will adhere perfectly and there will be no residue, bubbles or dust under the protector.

I've got an IQshield on my OP6 http://www.iqshield.com/iq32368-oneplus-6-phone-screen-protector.html
I tried a few TG ones and wasn't happy with any. They either didn't stick properly or had the annoying black border. The IQshield is the best protector I've tried.

The best screen protector is the soft nano TPU protectors they sell at ebay or aliexpress for a buck a piece and these cover the whole screen and can be applied wet with some soap and water.

Does it cover the entire screen or leaves a gap at the edges?

I know why you are asking ...Most protectors don't cover the edges well. But this does .

I got this one:
OnePlus 6 Screen Protector, IQ Shield LiQuidSkin Full Coverage Screen Protector for OnePlus 6 HD Clear Anti-Bubble Film
From Amazon.
Accidentally dropped it on a concrete slab that had small gravel and dirt all over it about a week ago. Right out of my pocket. I do have one of those Tudia cases on it with a lip, HOWEVER some of that gravel did hit the glass. Tore up the screen protector in a couple spots. They kind of look like pin pricks but no discernible cracks or knicks in the glass what so ever, and the other scratches to the screen protector went away after rubbing with my fingers.
Talk about a freak out moment.

How is the texture and clarity of the IQ? I got a Skinomi (with has a similar product description) and personally I was not happy with the stretchy texture and less-then-smooth feel when swiping. Also, it seemed to like clarity and almost had small "webs" when looking at it at certain angles. (not bubbles)
