I would like to get a case/rotating stand for my GNote10.1. ( I will be buying from NewEgg. )
Looking at cases I discovered that a lot come in packages with screen protectors. An example is. ( This one is not the particular one I am interested in. It was just the first in my search. ) I thought if the protectors were any good I would get one.
So a few questions about screen protectors.
The most major question ( Aside from whether it's better to get a protector or go commando. ) is: do you get what you pay for? I've seen some protectors $1-$3, others 3 for $5.00-$10 some around $20. One I've seen 2 for $58. Are the cheaper screen protectors ( which are usually what comes with the bundle ) not as good as the more expensive ones? We all know that expensive is not the same as high quality. ( Under my breath: Apple. )
The second question is can putting these on/using them damage your screen? Is there some tacky substance that might be hard to get off? Is long time use likely to make them hard to get off?
Third question how do they affect sensitivity? Finger use? Spen use?
Also a quick question about the case. I've seen some cases described as being for the N8000 will these be any problem with the N8013?
do you get what you pay for?
- not really. some are more scratch resistant than the other. but a a $3-5 protector will still last you a year probably. then just get a new one. no need to invest in high end ones. there are some with the whole 'spy proofing' which unless you are looking straight at the screen you cant see anything. cool, but pointless also.
The second question is can putting these on/using them damage your screen? Is there some tacky substance that might be hard to get off? Is long time use likely to make them hard to get off?
-no, my old phones used to have screen protectors for a year or so, peels off very easily once you get a corner up. no residue, just peel it off and wipe with cloth and you are ready for the next sheet.
Third question how do they affect sensitivity? Finger use? Spen use?
-no problem. im using a matte screen protector now. no sensitivity problems noticed. but an affect on brightness.
Also a quick question about the case. I've seen some cases described as being for the N8000 will these be any problem with the N8013?
dont think there is any problem. but youll have to google the dimensions to be sure.

Don't bother with a screen protector on my tablet. It doesn't get into the same dark places which my phone does.

Now I'm just curious about how, where and what you use your phone for....:laugh:
he's batman...
but im just curious why a screen protector and going into dark places are related...
I bought a fairly inexpensive screen protector and have loved it. Bummed I cannot remember what kind it was in case i ever need to replace it. No issues. I have the Samsung case, so my worry was something getting between the case and the screen and scratching due to back and forth movement of flap.

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

Here is the link:
https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B071LG88CW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
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

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 ^^

Guys why are you buying these fake packed costly Rs.300-400 screen guard from flipkart or amazon.in , I've been to Gaffar Market, Delhi where they're selling from just Rs. 10 - Rs 25 but you've to buy 5-10 piece, they don't give 1-2 piece only.
ask them for Samsung J7 pro screen guards it'll perfectly fit on P2

You can even get your broken screen repaired for 2000-3000 Rs.

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.

It is because of 2.5 D glass on the phone. You will get an halo effect.
There are videos demonstrating using oil to remove this effect but that might cause issue with mic if oil enters there accidentally so better keep it as is.

Totally agree .. putting oil on your phone is kinda dumb.
I use https://www.flipkart.com/flipkart-s...CCF4GCKGV6ZSZQY&lid=LSTACCF4GCKGV6ZSZQYQVVCSB which I brought along with the phone.
It has the halo effect ( edges not sticking to the screen ) but I got used to it.
Technically .. flat screen protector is better as it does not have weak edges .. screen protector which is curved on the edges will have weak points. So I will keep using this one.
No screenguard + flip cover is the way 2 go. Wonder why u idiots are so into this screen protector. There are many videos / articles bothfor and against these dumb add-ons. Ergo, go without, but have something 2 cover/ protect the screen, when not in use.
You can try this website https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/?currency=INR
They have m1 screen protector.
I think 5D screen protector is needed for our phone to get front protected perfectly... There are 5D tempered glass for other phones out there... i really wish some manufacture make one for our wonderful phone too...

Well we idiots like these dumb add ons as they protect the screen of a device from scratches , without making the device bulky unlike WOMEN CLUTCHES looking flipcovers . You can change a screen guard after every 2-3 months but you cannot get your screen replaced after every 2-3 months . I use my device for atleast 8 months and don't like to see a scratched screen , thus a screen protector is must for my device .
Anyways thanks for your eye-opening advice. Now I understand all these tech giants like Samsung , oneplus , honor etc . simply loot us by providing expensive screen guards.
Well I am using mi note 5 pro screen guard on my mobile as it fits perfect .
Give it a try .......

Try gadgetshieldz screen guard. It is a bit complex to apply as it is a wet type screen guard. It is on a bit of expensive side but totally worth it. It is self healing and the screen guard itself doesnt need a replacement. I found it really good and only screen guard for my galaxy s7 edge.
It feels a bit like a silicon surface and obviously there is no halo effect. If you manage to get it right, trust me you wont need to remove it until you discard your phone. Mine is on my phone for more than a year and it is almost new.

They are not tempered glass. They are wet type screen protectors. Watch on youtube what wet screen protectors are. They are plastic+silicone tear resistant and self healing. And they are a lot more difficult to apply than a normal screen protector. I guess rhino shield has a similar product or invisible shield sells these kind of protectors abroad. Gadgetshieldz is Indian brand. Even their skinnova skins are awesome quality wise. Tried a lot of skins from ebay and other sellers, but found them and I'm satisfied.
Please, I'm not associated with them but I have tried their products. They seem to be on higher side but quality wise, they offer the best among all options available in India.

I don't think so. It won't do much. I haven't dropped my s7 yet to test that but I think it won't do much. I love this for no hallo effects on my screen and no scratches. For drops, a protective case is what I recommend.
Generally what I do is apply this on screen for scratches, a skinnova skin on back and then a ringke fusion transparent case. I find the phone beautiful to look at and secure too, but I have rarely dropped my phone. Honestly I have booked my zenfone, ordered that shield protector, and now just looking for a good case to go along with a skin.
i think this is the one we're looking for

That's why they recommend soap water. A bit of water resistance comes with every phone. I have used it on s7 edge, mi a1 and iPhone 6 and nothing happened. I recommend going through the installation process which they recommend strongly aswell. The phone is yours and the decision too, since someone asked, I just recommended them, since I find the product really good and most importantly with no hollow effect on sides.
What are your thoughts on this glass?
InvisShield True Fit for Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus

Seems the same as Whitestone with a few exceptions. I do like that the camera cutout isn't there but I feel like Whitestone is easier to install with the kits they provide.
Might be a good idea to install that way! Thanks for the share. I ordered something similar from AliExpress, gonna take forever to get here and has some bad and good news for the fingerprint sensor
Im not going to blow money on these gimmicks. Tempered glass has soo many advantages too but the reality is- there is no great solution for the curved screen except a wet install and good case+ extreme care like not walking and using phone, not holding phone while getting out of car in gravel driveway, etc.

FINALLY GOT MY GLASS TODAY AND IT WORKS!!
I tried first with standard way and fingerprint didn't work. Second try followed that video the mods took down and it worked perfectly!! I didn't even re-register my fingers. It's a little less accurate but I'd rather not have a cracked screen when i get careless over the next 3 years I own this phone.

I'm using it. My only issue with the glass in this thread is the absence of the camera cutout. I know before I had stated it seemed nice but my Whitestone has lifted up around the top while still actually being adhered to the phone. If I didn't have the cutouts then my front camera would be blurry. I assume this company would use similar glue and would end up with the same results later on.
get an insurance for it, and save money on your case!!!!

Is there really pre installed screen protector on the Xiaomi 13 as some mentioned? And is it any good? Surely it wont withstand a hit with a hammer, but for normal every day use, is it enough? Should I get another one while buying the phone? Like I have had Xiaomi phones that come with a rubber case and those cases are good. Never had a need to change them. How is the screen protector?

I haven't gotten mine yet, but as far as I recall Xiaomi includes a film screen protector with each phone. It works about as well as any other basic film screen protector. If you're the type of person that prefers glass screen protectors, though, you'll probably want to get one elsewhere.
If I get like tempered glass, will it limit the finger print reader functionality? It didn't really work so well on my Xiaomi Mi note 10 until I installed a specific custom ROM.

It may have been a thing a while back for glass screen protectors to lack the appropriate transmittance for optical fingerprint sensors like in the 13, but nowadays I believe they have it sorted. I would look for ones that advertise high transparency, sensitivity, or accuracy.

Pre-installed screen protector is sh*t, not pleasant at all to touch.
If you intend to use gestures, I recommend no protector at all.

That's surprising! I have a POCO F3 and have been using its pre-installed SP since I got it over six months ago. It's held up great so far and I don't notice any touch sensitivity issues!
