My current Phone is a Note 4.
I have always used Spigen screen protectors. The one on my Note 4 was applied almost 2 years ago and it only has minor scratches.
I noticed Spigen doesn't currently have a screen protector for the Note 7. Should I wait ? If not, is there a good alternative ?
Also the screen is curved. Does this mean the screen protector peels off from the sides ?
Iq shield or skinomi

I ordered this after seeing a review on the best screen protectors on Phone Arena. It looks like the one in the photo unlike the posted review said in this link. I bought this before the review was posted, and when the phone arrives I will see how it fits. My only worry is if it will interfere with the Unicorn Beetle pro Case that I have.

i use skinomi. works great on the edges (note edge, s7 edge)
They last long and are pretty cheap. if you ever have to replace one.
Wet install so always bubble free.

Not yet. Delivery status showed delivered but typical Dynamex driver lied and didn't actually deliver it.
Contacted Amazon support and they said it should be here by tonight.

+1 for the Skinomi's , but on my Note Edge, i had that orange-like surface on the screen when looking from an angle!
I ll go for the IQ shield when i receive my phone. Had good experience in the past with it.
Trying 3 different products I was sent for review. They are in shipment...
Skinomi
IQ Shield
ArmorSuit
The Note 7 will be my first curved screen phone (upgrading from an S5) and I plan to get either an Otterbox or Spigen case for it. I had a screen protector for my GNex and hated it! Is a screen protector really necessary (or more necessary than non-curved screens)? Other than "necessity" what advantages do screen protectors add? I'm looking for some honest feedback since I have zero experience with curved phones.

I have received a slew of cases via amzreviewtrader.com
I have 6 cases so far with a bunch more in the way. Mainly from lesser known brands but I think some will do a great job.
Their is a myriad to try out. I used Versus Thor on my Note 4 & Versus Neo Hybrid (their frame is aluminum vs Spigen had plastic frame).
3 Screen protector kits (not tempura glass)
Skinomi
ArmorSuit
IQ Shield
Will share my results. After seeing that gorilla glass 5 scratch test on YouTube, I definitely want something. It's such a pain. Why can't they make something super difficult to scratch?

So those of you that have experience with the Skinomi HD Clear screen protectors, I have a question for you. I bought this case for my phone:
Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen® [Rugged Armor] Resilient [Black] Ultimate protection from drops and impacts for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (2016) - (562CS20403) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GIUIFEI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_oNyTxbE3YE34X
Now this case is pretty minimal. Meaning it isn't very bulky and doesn't add a ton of protection. So with that being said, would the full coverage protector work or do I still need to go with the case friendly version? I'd appreciate any advice.
I had to get case friendly screen protectors for my S7 edge, pretty much all of my cases would lift the screen protector. I used IQshield and Skinomi full coverage on my S7 edge.
I also have the full coverage IQshield for the Note 7 and it's not installing very good. The edge is smaller on the Note 7 so the sides keep popping up. I have an Armorsuit case friendly that I will try soon.
I got the official screen protector with my note7 today at my local samsung store along with a bunch of other goodies in a cheap bundle.
the screen protector is film and not glass, but it's not flimsy, and is already pre-shaped to cater for the curve. it came with two in one pack.
the application was easy enough, as it came with dust stickers and a surprisingly high-quality hard-card with soft felt hemming on it for pushing out air bubbles.
it covers around 90% of the front glass panel, but still covers the whole display area itself, and reaches around the curves too, and is inconspicuous when put on properly.
definitely happy with it and will stick with this one until a really good quality curved glass protector comes out.

Skinomi isnt glass.
I've watched at least 5 unboxing videos now and while every video seems to show a pre-applied screen protector on the phone, not a single person in the videos have commented on it or blatantly showed them removing it.
The initial unboxing/review videos seem to all agree that the OnePlus 6 comes with a smoke clear TPU case in the box. So if it does have a pre-applied screen protector, that means you'd essentially have full protection right out of the box, which is pretty awesome!
Just curious to hear from those who may have unboxed one or someone from OnePlus to hear whether or not a screen protector is already applied or not. I know it won't be tempered glass but it's better than nothing. hing.
Yes, it comes with a pre-applied screen protector

1x OnePlus 6
1x Screen Protector (pre-applied)

I also just confirmed the same in this video @ 9:30
https://youtu.be/ES-s9KQrUTY?t=574
^ It's actually really cool to see the entire process.
To add, I'm still using the 5T preinstalled protector. It's already scratched up for me but it's applied so well and pretty decent quality, unsure why everyone doesn't pre-apply it.
The pre-applied screen protector and included case is probably one of the nicest things a manufacturer can do for its customers, especially when its service network is not very developed. Not to mention that the included case looks pretty good from what I have seen, plus the screen protector looks to be very well applied.
I got the standard flexible you case and the screen protector applied. It's done as part of the manufacturing process. Video by Linus tech tips gives really good insight at their factory
So you don't need to buy the 40$ protection bundle since it already comes with case and screen protector ?

Most probably not, but again the screen protector and case can scratch more easily than the premium stuff. My case is already scratched up at the back, so I ordered another one from Amazon.
The cheap case is very thin and might protect your phone from say a 4 foot drop where it might only survive 3 feet 6 inches without it. For me, it's just a bridge until I can get a proper rugged case, probably in a month or two minimum.
My phone arrived this morning with the Nylon Bumper Case. I must say that I'm absolutely loving the Nylon case. And the pre-applied protector is pretty darn good. Nice and smooth, like glass. Overall it is installed very well. The pre-applied protector isn't sticking around the very tips of each corner, but it will do the job until I decide which direction to go with a tempered glass protector in the next couple of weeks.
I'm still considering ordering the OnePlus tempered glass protector but a few people have reported that it is extremely difficult to apply properly and a couple people have mentioned that the oleophobic coating on it is practically nonexistent.
Regardless, it's really nice to see a phone manufacturer providing a pre-installed screen protector out of the box. Saves us from wasting money on poor quality glass screen protectors that just happen to have made it to market before the good stuff. Kudos to OnePlus for that!

Yep. got my OP6 yesterday and it has the pre-applied protector. It will definitely do the job until I figure out which tempered glass protector is best, over the coming weeks. Very pleased to have full protection right out of the box. Especially since I'm leaving for a 9 day vacation tomorrow and didn't want to rush into buying some lower quality protection, simply because it came to market before the good stuff.
Yes, the OnePlus comes with a pre-applied screen protector! The quality is good, but dust fill the edges of this protector so I have removed it...
The OnePlus 6 comes also with a TPU case
Guys what is quality of stock screen protector? Shall I put my original OnePlus tempered glass?

I have ordered OnePlus 6 today.. And waiting that would come tomorrow.. This time it's almost 95 percent glass so protector would be must need to keep the device mint, especially for the BACK!!
So Let me start of the thread for the OnePlus 6 Screen Protector.
I have ordered OnePlus 6 Full body screen protector from the Gadgetshieldz.
And I hope this time it's merely impossible to get the best TGP soon. Please let know your suggestions.
Finally got my Gadgetshieldz protectors and applied it. The protector is fitting well and all the holes are perfect. Important part is, its providing lot of grip to the OP6 which is very slippery without the protector. Might go for a Tempered Glass for the screen if I find a decent one but the back protector is a keeper. Take a look at the images of the protectors applied on my OP6. Can't go wrong with these for a low price.

Thanks. Ordered one as well. Mostly for the back protector since the phone is glass. Hopefully OnePlus releases an official TGP that includes a back protector.
Ordered same too !
Great worldwide free shipping. Wonder how long it takes...
I bought the original bumper carbon case but forgot to buy the combo (case + screen protector).
Now I don't know if I should buy the original oneplus screen protector (tempered glass) or buy something from a 3rd party.
Any ideas?

Hmm, you may be right.
This is the one I bought:
https://www.oneplus.com/uk/oneplus-6-protective-case
And this was the bundle:
https://www.oneplus.com/uk/oneplus-6-total-protection-bundle
What is the difference between the protective case and the bumper?
I think bumper protects the screen better. But if you use a tempered glass you cannot use bumper as the covered lips of the bumper will damage the tempered glass.

Anyone had any experience with those nano liquid protections (ie: https://www.spigen.com/collections/oneplus/products/screen-protector-glas-tr-nano-liquid )?
I ordered the phone with the Nylon bumper case. I almost pulled the trigger on the tempered glass protector as well but I was worried it wouldn't fit with the bumper case and it appears I was right.
The great news is that this phone comes with a pre-applied plastic screen protector. So the screen will be protected right from the beginning. This will buy us time for the release of more tempered glass protectors that may fit with bulkier cases like the nylon bumper case.

With the ultimate bundle, you get the choice of bumper case and tempered glass. It wouldn't make sense to bundle them if they didn't work together, but who knows. The strange this is that the bundle that includes only a case and glass, doesn't offer a bumper case.
I have the bundled case and the sandstone. Both fit with the OnePlus tempered glass. I would guess the bumper does too having looked at it in the shop but not 100% as I didn't put it on.
Since they sell the bumper and the tempered glass together and there are no notes in the tempered glass that it does not work with the bumper case, i am really hoping that you can use the 2 together since that is what i bought. if they don't work together, i will have to send the bumper back.

I did not have experience with this particular brand but ordered from AliExpress for $3.50 each about six months ago for my Samsung Galaxy S8+. It's been six months w/o a screen protector and not a single scratch insight. I don't have the rough use of my phone but don't baby it either. Long and short of it is: This type of product MAY work and just to try it out, I would not spend $24. $4 and wait of 2 weeks should get you the same product at a much cheaper price to try. Here is the link to the product I used:

One question. Are you sure the official TGP includes a back protector?. In Spanish online store don`t say anything about this.
Greetings from Spain.
When you uncheck the body-protector, you pay 9.95$ instead of 11.95$ so pretty sure it does.

Are you talking about this? :
OnePlus 6 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector Black
$19.95
x 1
This is the official TGP from OnePlus.com online shop. In the description says :
In the Box:
OnePlus 6 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Don't say it has a back protector.
Greetings from Spain.
I am sorry mate, I got you wrong.
I was talking about gadgetshieldz, there a back protector is included.
Oneplus official tgp doesn't include a back protector (and @brangalm says "hopefully" so he isn't sure either), but I ordered it as well.
I'm personally not going to even bother looking for a good tempered glass screen protector, because I want full case compatibility, and I want full screen coverage without black edges - probably not possible with 2.5D edges.
I am, however, a fan of plastic PET screen protectors as they are easily replaceable, should be cheap, and fit any case.
Currently, I'm using the one that was pre-installed on the OP6, but I noticed the edges are peeling already, so I'm looking for alternatives now.
Spigen used to have a "Crystal Clear" PET screen protector which worked awesomely on my past devices, but they do not seem to manufacture it anymore.
Perusing Amazon, the only one I see that's a PET protector is this one:
"[8-Pack] OnePlus 6 Screen Protector, J&D [Not Full Coverage] Premium HD Clear Film Shield Screen Protector for OnePlus 6"
Unsure of its quality though, and people I know have stated that the sizing/cutouts of J&D are not very good.
I'm not a fan of the 3M-type "self-healing" soft screen protectors due to the texture/stickiness.
Does anybody know of any alternative PET (plastic) screen protectors for the OP6?
I'm a huge fan of armorsuit screen protectors. They are the self healing sticky type. It takes a couple days, but eventually they lose the sticky feeling, and work great after that. Another plus is they seem to repel fingerprints way better than the pet screen protectors.
Still using the preinstalled protector for now, but will probably change to the armorsuit soon.
I agree with you. I hate the tempered glass (plastic) screen protectors and am looking for inexpensive PET ones like the one that came in the phone.
On eBay there is a seller selling the ExtremeGuard ones but the cut is all screwed up and they don't fit. I've always had good luck with SuperShieldz as they are high quality and pretty cheap and I'm hoping they start making them for the OP6 soon.
After using trying a few different TGSPs, I went this route. Armorsuit was nice, but I've found that the skinomi one is much smoother and has less drag.
Search for iLLumiShield Screen Protector for OnePlus 6 on Amazon. They have both crystal clear and matte finish. They use Japanese PET film. Have not tried on OP6 but my previous experience has been very good.
Same, i always used these soft nano protectors on my old phone but i got my oneplus 6 with a glass screen protector that i got for free due to the code someone gave me so if the glass really sucks i will go back to the soft protectors. I always buy them from aliexpress and most of the time they are like 1 or 2 bucks so i always get a couple so that i future proof my self

Thanks for the recommendation. This is something along the lines of what I'm looking for - I think I'll buy a pack to test the crystal clear.
What is the best screen protector for s22 ultra?
A good case with slightly raised guards on all sides like the Zizo Bolt or the display will likely get broke.
Easy to apply hygrocell screens like the Gorilla IQ Sheild work well, are inexpensive and last 6+months.
Also, be careful using the glass protectors (non hydrogel), because they can interfere with the fingerprint reader. I had a bad experience with this, and now I'm using only hydrogel that works fine.
Hidrogel protectors are a very good option, they are cheap, no need to buy from expensive brands, because they are very cheap, you can buy several, and replace them as often as you desire, they are really easy to aply, and no bubbles after some hours after the colocation in case some remain at the moment of placement, I bought 6 of them for 3 dollars in aliexpress

Do you all have a recommended screen protector from amazon that I can buy?
some time ago, I used armor suit protectors, they are made in England, but are of the "wet" aplication method , those protectors are slightly thicker, and have an "orange skin" like appearance whe the screen is off, are self healing to some degree, I think they were 8-10 dollars for front and back set
I'm not searching for something thick, I'm searching for something strong.
I can't find hydrogel with good reviews on amazon, there are some on aliexpress.
Can someone send me a link to a good sp?
Just get this one and thank me later EGV Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
I think you can get this on aliexpress. Hydrogel film that protects front sides and back. it's what I'm using for myself and my wife.
