Now I don't have a Good camera to post pictures but if you guys actually want to see it I'll post them with my s3.
Now the dbrand skin adds some slight thickness to the phone overall, especially the front skins leaving a something you can catch your finger on when using the screen. Incidentally the mime feather with it's thickness adds the perfect amount making the transition from the surface of the skin onto the screen ( nearly ) seamless. Now the mime feather , depending on how you install it, leaves something like a gutter on the top or the bottom of the screen because it doesn't completely cover the top or bottom of the screen protector because it isn't tall enough. I opted to install closest to the top making the gutter below the screen. Now I opted to have the gutter at the bottom because everyone uses the Pull down notification (I think lol) so now with the way I have it I currently have the carbon fiber white and mime father allowing me to pull my notification drawer down without catching my finger on anything. Well just wanted to share my experience because it felt like a match made in heaven after I noticed my finger wasn't falling from the skin onto the screen.

So I purchased this case off ebay- its from a korean store. Not much regarding the store or the company the case is made by: Neim
I was looking for a high quality, nice looking with features to set it apart but also to protect the phone.
It is made out of genuine leather, dark navy blue and yellow accent latch (which is magnetic) and yellow CC/license (3) holder inside, which allows you to hold cash. There are 2 cut outs for camera/led flash and speaker.
The interior is lined in felt. The case portion where the phone sits in is plastic but that rubbery smooth texture. The top and bottom (on sides) are what clips the phone to stay in. I wish the top corners were covered like the bottom is. All buttons and ports are easily accessible. The phone though is very tightly secured.
The case can be opened and used as a stand in landscape. its quite sturdy and stays in place.
An added bonus which I liked was the included matte finish screen protector. It was easy to apply. I like it cause there are little/no finger prints.
Overall I like the case. It does add bulk to the phone, which I dont mind.
2 pictures uploaded. Will take HD pictures and video when i have some time
Looks pretty neat.
This screen protector doesn't cover full screen. Sides could use another mm, top 2-3mm and bottom at least 7mm. Other than that I got it installed perfectly, on the 2nd try. 1st try I had two dust bubbles. One on side I could live with and another in the middle of display. Other than that, this is probably ringke's most slippery screen protector. It almost rivals how slippery power support screen protectors are.
Other than not reaching edges very happy with it. I hate screen protectors that feel grippy. I am going to write an email to Ringke and see if they will make a revision to it. I can live with the sides because they have to accommodate cases and some reach further in than others but they definitely could make this screen protector go away to the the top and bottom and make punch out capsule shaped to accommodate the FFC and sensors. If you can live with your screen protector not going to the extreme on edges then this is the one to get. I can't believe the difference in slickness compared to their previous iterations on other phones. This is one slick screen protector and makes for a smooth touch screen experience.
Ringke fusion case totally changed the feel of this phone. And that is coming from a Ringke onyx case. The onyx definitely offers more protection but the fusion just feels right, phone is in a see through dress, just right grippy and not as bulky. Try it.
I found this Screen protector on Amazon and what caught my eye is that it wraps around the side of the phone onto the back. at 2 for $15 CDN it was worth trying.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06ZZ5Q95L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Application:
It was a little rough, the first one had too much adhesive. While trying to take off the 1st part, the Adhesive side, it actually peeled the 2nd part, the screen protector side off. It took a lot of force to get the Adhesive side off the screen protector itself, that i ended up ruining it. However the 2nd sheet was much easier to peel apart. The Adhesive layer comes off in 3 parts. the Screen and one for each side. Lining it up was fairly easy using the speaker, sensors and camera at the top. Once it was on properly, the sides wrapped around to the back of the phone. It's easier to smooth out the bubbles before putting the sides down.
Looks:
It looks really clear but when at an angle with a light there is an orange peel effect but this may have been from over zealous rubbing to get the bubbles out. Regardless I am quite pleased at how good it looks over other film screen protectors I've used in the past with other phones.
In a Case:
I'm using a a Spigen Tough Armor Case
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XP4FP8N/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The screen protector has a very small clearance at all corners, when applied properly the corner of the case won't touch it nor lift it. Since it wraps around it will not lift it from the sides either, or at least shouldn't. I haven't been able to put it though any long term tests but then again i don't plan on taking the case off any more than i really have to.
Now what you all came for, pictures!

I was about to order the white dome but the review about the prominent lip tuned me to iqshields full body since I will have the phone naked in a holster. I was thinking about the liquid shields next but maybe I'll try this one the next go around if iqshields doesn't work out. Thanks for the find!
I do not see how that wrap around will work. There will be air pocket around the seem .

I just installed one on mine and I dont think you will find a better one than this at this point in time. Its is case friendly with the 3 cases I have tried at this point. UAG, Spigen Liquid Armour, and a Ringke case, the corners are just to the point where they dont touch the case corners. The only potential area of issue for me is after putting on the screen protector (which for me went flawless after watching the youtube install video) was the area around the Power, Volume and Bixby buttons. After putting the case on it wants to "bubble" a bit in those areas. But once I rolled my finger over the edge, pulling back the case slightly it laid the protector back down. its only been a couple hours but so far so good and Im way happier with this $12 purchase over the 45 whitestone dome that seems to be hit or miss.
Photos were taken with the Spigen Liquid Armour case on. Also taken with my tablet so quality on a couple of them are crappy but you should get a good idea,

Just imagine starting off at the edge of your phone to getting started and rolling the phone up like playdoh or a joint smoothing along as you go...to easy!
Thinking about ordering a set of these up. I don't like the orange peel look and the top does not look too case friendly. Does the orange peel smooth out over time or is it permanent?
Personally my opinion of this screen protector as I just purchased and returned it to amazon:
-it messes white whites on your screen. They dont look good anymore after I applied the protector.
-While it does wrap around the sides, when you put on the case it still lifts up the corners and creates little air pockets on the sides of the screen
- Extremely orange peel look on this screen protector.
I purchased the IQ shield case friendly updated version and the image quality is WAY better than this ringke one. Using the IQshield I can actually say for certain it feels like there isnt a screen protector on, with my eyes and my fingers. The ringke you can immediately with just your eyes tell there is something off due to what it does with white balance.
My advice is, dont buy the ringke, there are better ones out there.

if it's lined up properly there is a tiny gap between the screen and the case, so it shouldn't lift. I only had it for a few day and it's getting less and less but i don't think it'll go away completely since i was a little over zealous trying But when i'm using it, it's barly noticable if at all. It's only when a light shines on the screen.
It's not for everyone but i feel it does a good enough job for a lot of people to be happy with. The fact that it wraps around is it's main selling point as it will completely protect the edge screen and the case won't lift it up IF applied properly
I applied one to my S8+ this morning. I think it's great for what it is. It's not glass, but it's smooth and feels like nothing is there. There's an ever so slight orange peel look, but I only notice it when looking at the phone from an angle in light, and it doesn't look like I'll have any lifting from my Ringke case. Overall I'm very pleased with it.
Why not try the BestSkinsEver protectors ? I actually have the edge-to-edge one installed w/ a Ringke Slim case and it is not lifting at all. I thought it would, but actually, it isn't. Now, I would like to use my Spigen Slim Armor case but when I put the phone in there, the corners started to lift up. My BSE case-friendly protectors came in but I will probably wait to install it at a later date.
This is the real deal. Hella nice! Works with my rhinoshield as well
Only issue I've found so far is that the side flaps distort the button mechanics. Takes more force to unlock phone and volume up/down
They'll break in tho. Love the combo
Hello,
Already anybody with a good fitting glass screenprotector?
I have tried 2, but they don't fit good at the edges.

I've seen many people with the same problem as yours, that is why I haven't got a screen protector.
I have some under watch in eBay, but I'm waiting on feedback before purchasing
I bought those "liquid/nano Screenprotectors" coz they fit every screen.
I dont know if they are good but my screen is still like new.
Ultimate Shield are now doing glass protectors for a range of Honor and Huawei devices, including the P20 Lite. They are priced to be a bit more premium, but I have used them in the past and been quite happy with them. This was before the trend of curving the edges of phone screens though. These are full sized protectors with a coloured border, but the glue is full coverage rather than just at the edges. I have just fitted one to my son's new P20 Lite. As it has just been fitted I am unable to comment on durability yet. However the fit seems pretty good. As mentioned, it covers the front of the device fully from edge to edge both horizontally and vertically. The hole for the speaker and camera lines up perfectly, but it does look like the black borders encroach a little onto the actual display area at the sides. I don't think this would be enough to impede usage of the phone on a daily basis. It is just noticeable as it disrupts the flow of the rounded corners. The edges are nicely rounded and are not a harsh edge, unlike the cheap protector that I currently have on my Honor View 10 (I have bought an Ultimate Shield for this too, just haven't fitted it yet). I did manage to get one tiny bit of dust under the protector which has caused a small bubble, but this is under the display in the chin area so no real issue and not a fault with the screen protector. There was another bubble at the top left of the display, but keeping pressure on this meant it eventually disappeared. At the edge in the same area I noticed a small sized air pocked just creeping out along the black border, almost as if it was a tiny area with the infamous halo. This isn't noticeable with the screen on and I hope it will go over time. Overall I am quite happy with how it fits and looks. The only real negative is that the supposed oleophobic coating doesn't seem to be doing a great job. But, tbh, I don't think I have ever found a screen protector where it has worked as I expected. Are my expectations just not realistic? Or do we have particularly oily finger tips? Nothing a frequent wipe on a t-shirt won't sort out though.
Would certainly recommend if you are fed up of these screen protectors that are much too small and give you a halo round the edges.

They also do full body coverage wet apply protectors (invisible shield style) if you like that kind of thing.
I got one when i bought the phone and it did not fit good at the edges, but i found a youtube clip called "Removing Halo Effect from Tempered Glass (Olive Oil)" and it worked for me. its been 3 months since then and all is good.
I recently stumbled onto the DBrand skin website and I am very impressed! I can actually turn my black 2XL into the white colour I wanted originally!
Do these skins protect the phone if I drop it or is more for just an appearance thing? How long do the skins last on the phone before they start to peel away? Can they be removed without any damage to the phone?
It's basically expensive tape.
I have the black camo version.
I guess it could prevent a scratch, as it's covering the area, but no more than that.
I've used these things on two phones, one for a year, and it never started to peel away. Not even a bit.
They come off cleanly, no adhesive left behind etc.
What I did was get the red dragon skin back piece and installed it. Then I put my phone in a Ringke Fusion case. The skin adds some style, and the Fusion protects from the occasional drop. If you place the back piece right and let it sit overnight before installing the Fusion, you'll have no issues with it coming off. I remove and clean my case once a month or so, and the skin underneath still looks great with no lifting anywhere

I am on my 2nd dbrand skin. My first one was great for 5 months, then one of the corner tabs started to lift and would not stay down even with tacky glue. My 2nd one looks exactly the same as the day I installed it (pristine, and no lifting). If you don't like bulky cases and you aren't constantly dropping your phone, then you will probably love dbrand skins. But they are just big decals, and do not provide the same protection as even the cheapest silicone case. I have dropped my phone on bathroom tile and the dbrand skin looks the same, but I wouldn't be surprised if the frame is slightly dented or cracked underneath. The skin did a fantastic job of hiding any damage. If you decide to purchase a skin, heat the tabs with a hair dryer or heat gun *before* applying it. The instructions tell you to use a heat source after applying it. But also heating them *beforehand* makes them conform and stick better.
