There seems to be a tiny gap (about a 1/10th of a mm) between the bottom of the screen and the casing. Dust keeps getting stuck between this space, this is specially true if I use a case.. to get rid of it I have to slide the corner of a sheet of paper along the gap to clear any small pieces of dirt stuck there.
Not having this issue on the sides or the top.. does anyone else have space between the bottom of the screen and the casing (wide enough to slide a sheet of paper)?
yup. same here. dust goes in sometimes. the housing seems a lil flexible so i kinda pry it open a little and clean the dust off.

I've just removed my screen protector and phone cover and there's a bunch of crud around the edges of the screen. I'm afraid to slide anything under the frame for fear of damagning something. How are you all cleaning yours?
cotton buds
I use cotten buds and Razzle Dazzle spray used to clean your specs, glasses
does a great job
comes up like new
hope that helps
i just cleaned mine when i had it apart put a new screen protector on afterwards
I use the thin plastic toothpicks that have a 45 degree on one side. They're bendable and flex with slightest resistance. Great for cleaning between screen and case. There is a pretty big gap between the screen and faceplate so alot of debris can get trapped in there. As long as the spongy black insulation foam is in good shape I dont see putting anything in edges to be a harmful to it.
If I remember correctly, when I got my G2 back in November (or sometime thereabouts), the screen was flush with the edge. Since then, I've used a Realook screen protector that I took off last night, and maybe it's because the screen protector was on it that I didn't notice, but there seems to be a very noticeable, sharp lip around the long edges; I felt it when I flicked across the screen. If I hold the phone horizontally against a bright backdrop and look across the screen, it seems as if the lip is just a bit thicker closer to the middle.
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but the lip is noticeable enough during use that it's bugging me. Could the screen have recessed a bit into the body?
Ran off into second page. Bump!

the metal unibody around the screen is higher than the glass to prevent your finger from sliding completely off the screen. the screen is suposed to be recessed a tiny bit in. and there are parts behind the screen that prevent the screen from caving in. there is no room for your screen to cave in.
I noticed my glass panel is very slightly (0.5mm ish) coming out on the bottom-right hand of the device. Is this normal? It isn't loose (I applied some medium pressure to try to "snap it" to the same level of the rest of the glass but it didn't move at all).
I don't think that is normal at all. Mine looks recessed on all the edges. Meaning the outer frame sticks out past the glass surface (very slightly).

Same here,
although the left side is a little lower then the right.
I don't know if its .5mm, but the bottom right side is definitely slightly higher than the other corners
BTW this is on the GSM version (Canada) bought from Virgin Mobile.
Upon looking closely, the glass is actually thicker on that corner so that's why it's popping so I'm not too worried about it being loose. 0.5mm is about half a CD/Dvd's thickness so it's really minor.
I'm just wondering if it's a glass manufacturing defect or if it's intended on certain models. I think it's probably a very minor defect because of the curved nature of the glass.
Hi guys
I noticed today a gap between the screen and the metal frame surrounding the screen ( not between the screen and the polycarbonate body). Whenever I press on the screen where the gap is, the screen goes down and there is some color distortion on the screen. Dust is also accumulating in the gap. Is anyone having the same issue ?
Some people have reported that their screen doesn't fit properly. There should be a very small gap between the glass, a metal/plastic ring and the case itself though.
My One X has a tiny gap which seems to attract dust but the screen is fitted properly so it doesn't flex at all.
Picture please!
I just installed 3 amFilm Glass Protectors with black borders. Yes, I can vouch for this protector.
Pros:
- Truly edge to edge, with a tiny gap at the edges for case-friendliness
- Does not block any part of the OLED
- Clear, practically looks like a naked screen
- Smooth (wifey said: feels so smooth!)
- Fingerprint-resistant
- Black borders means no visible edges
Cons:
- Can't really think of any. I used Vivid NG gesture app and have to turn increase "Touch Sensitivity" on display settings. No biggie.
- Installation takes longer; more elbow grease to get the bubbles out.
Installation tips:
- Allow at least 15-30 minutes for a good result
- Don't follow the myth of hot shower! That's just a waste water. Seriously.
- Have a roll of masking tape. Use it to clean the screen and sides of phone. Do this by sticking the tape vertically top to bottom starting on the left edge, then peel and move slightly to the right. Repeat until all screen and sides have been 'stripped' of dust specks.
- After placing the protector on the phone, start looking for any remaining specks. Do this by gently squeeging around. Bubbles will move and can be taken care of later. Specks will stay, so you want to spot and remove them now.
- To remove a speck (most likely it would stick to the film and not the screen), fold a length of masking tape in two, so both sides are sticky, then gently lift the closest corner and slide the masking tape underneath. Careful, do not let the masking tape rub the sticky side of the glass film such that it would leave a mark. Once on the right spot, press the film down gently and re-lift it. The speck will stick to the masking tape. Slide out the masking tape and let the film drop down.
- Repeat until all specks have been removed.
- Now squeegee the bubbles out. This takes a while on this screen protector, but you'll be happy with the result!
Ps: I don't use the provided dust stickers. Masking tape works better for me.
Attached are some photos after the installation on the second phone.
Got one of these on the way, hope it installs ok and works nicely with otterbox case. Mine is a work phone and they stipulate the otterbox must stay on. I hate the thing but the S10e is a nice phone.
This supposedly case friendly screen protector had so much potential....
Feel and fit is fantastic but it does NOT classify as case friendly. I cannot get air out of it with my case on. Awesome otherwise.
The case presses on the edges and distorts it, causing some lift.
I had my screen protector installed at a phone shop and the case somehow lifted the top part abit. Couldnt get the airbubble out no matter what so i tried using a hairdryer .. 15 seconds later no more airbubble.
Took mine off. Work insists the otterbox is used so if a screen protector doesn't work with it, too bad. There's no way it was going to fit under the edges of the case.
With a normal TPU type case it should be good though.
It's good enough a fit to even have a naked phone.
