Skinomi Tech Glass first impressions/mini review - Xperia Z1 Accessories

Hello everyone. I just got the chance to install the Skinomi Tech Glass tempered glass screen protector that I ordered off of Amazon a couple days ago for $14.95 after I noticed that my Nillkin chipped in a couple of spots on top of the screen protector and proceeded to crack.
The overall packaging of the Skinomi is done rather well and unless heavy items is stacked on the packaging the screen protector should be safe during transport. I chose the Skinomi product over other products because of a lifetime replacement warranty they have on the product so if this screen protector happens to chip or lift up because of a poor manufacturing process I have that extra piece of mind. Some features this product has is as mentioned before a lifetime warranty, a thin profile(seems thinner than Nillkin although the official specs has it the same), rounded edges, oleophobic coating, and a proximity sensor cutout. Installation was a breeze and the fit is much like the Nillkin with a couple of millimeters of space around the edges. So far I am quite satisfied with the product, I will upload pictures of the installation soon.

Does is come with a back protector as well? I noticed my Nillkin has small chips at a few spots as well. One of them looks like it's cracked slightly but it's so thin you don't notice it. I'm thinking it'll blow out eventually though so I'll have to replace sooner or later. Damned if I know how how it would have chipped since I've never dropped it or keep it near anything that could do it.
The cheap back protector that comes with the Nillkin seems to be doing the job, it's scratched to hell! So I'll never not have anything on the back.

No the Skinomi does not come with a back protector, just the front. I still have my Nillkin back cover still on the phone.
I am assuming the keys in my pocket caused the chips on my Nillkin because I never dropped my phone either.

Forgive me if this sounds stupid, is this meant to be use in place of the stock glass that comes on the Z1?

no. it covers the glass, so you technically have 2 layers of glass on the front of your phone.

Screen Protectors!

Hi guys,
Can you recommend good quality screen protector? Any good brand?
I looked but I don't think I want one. I'm a fan of glass and I don't see that happening for the watch.
I got a set of 6 EZGuardz screen protectors on EBay for less than $3. It fits right to the edge of the glass perfectly and is 100% invisible. I can feel a slight difference when swiping. It's just a tiny bit less slippery feeling. But the peace of mind knowing that I'm not gonna accidentally scratch the screen is well worth it.

I bought a set as well
I bought some Skinomi MatteSkin protectors that fit well enough, but I thought they made the screen look too fuzzy. I usually like matte finish anti-glare screen protectors, but I didn't like these particular ones on this watch. I'm going naked for now.
I ordered a set of two from XtremeGuard's website. They have a promotion going on where you can get 91% off using the promo code Christmas91 and purchasing three items. Should get it in the next few days. Will report back.
I bought the Skinomi TechSkins (the kind that you have to spray before applying) and I am happy with it. It has a lifetime guarantee (or so they say) but I have 6 of em so I doubt I'll ever need to take them up on that. It had a few bubbles for the first day or two but those started to face and now it isn't even noticeable. I can feel a slight change in the ability to slide my finger on it, but i'm comfortable with it.
Received my XtremeGuard protector (ordered 2, but only received one). Applied just like their other protectors, which was very easy. Looks good and no issues whatsoever. Not bad for the price either considering it was 91% off.

Does P9 come with a screen protector?

I got a brand new Huawei P9 (EVA AL10), which already has some sort of film on the screen (also it comes with a case that I put on). Is this a tempered glass or some other type of film, plastic or glass? What sort of protection is it? Or maybe it's just a casual film that needs to be removed after unpackaging? Notice that the film does not cover the screen completely, about a milimeter is not covered in the left and right sides.
It's my first smartphone and I am not familiar with these gadgets at al! Also, I am a clumsy person. I will surely drop the phone (probably regularly once in a while). What sort of accessory can I use to protect against drops? Is a folded-case better than the standard case that comes with the phone for screen protection?
Here is a photo:

I'm quite sure that was just a flim. You should have bought a tempered glass protection.

My P9 came with some kind of protector (under the outer protecting film). I'm still thinking if I should replace it with something that cover the entire screen because it looks a bit ugly.. Here is how it looks:
Better to keep that plastic screen protector. The tempered glass ones do not work well on the p9. On a second note ugh the ads for this website on mobile are horrible.
I replaced it with something from ScreenKnights. Feels OK but seems to be very sensitive to scratches. Look at the marks I did with just my nails..

Maybe because this is made from silicon like 3MK Arc. It's very soft protector film. It's impossible to scratch it

Best OnePlus 7 Tempered glass screen protectors

I'm about to buy the OnePlus 7 and I want to get a good Tempered glass screen protector for this smartphone.
For my several older smartphones I didn't have such a good experience with screen protectors in general.
Are you going to get OnePlus 7? What Tempered glass screen protector are you planning to use?
For now I might get this one:

I'll be watching for an Ultimate Shield 3D protector, they're usually reasonably priced but good quality.

I always use rhinoshield. The preinstalled plastic protector will be sufficient until rhinoshield starts producing theirs. OnePlus tempered glass is garbage and cracks in your pocket under normal circumstances. I have a front and rear impact protection on my OnePlus 6 and the screen and back are still in perfect condition.

I like what Ultimate Shiled has to offer and went with them even though they're in the UK and I'm in the US.
I ordered the TGSP/Nylon Case bundle with my OP7 and finally got round to installing it today. As per normal, it's not an easy process to remove the protector from its backing and work out all the bubbles but now it is done I have to say that it is a good fit and once the fingerprint sensor was retrained works very well.
I used the included clear case to aid alignment and now that it is on I only have a very slight bit of lift at the top left corner which is only visible with the screen off or dark. I can live with that. Doesn't seem to clip the screen noticeably either.
As you would expect, it is fully compatible with the Oneplus cases. It is also perfect with the Spigen Liquid Air.
In short, expensive but a good fit.
**Update: A couple of gentle strokes after a couple of hours an the one bit of lift is now gone. Result.

Review case and tempered glass from Nillkin

Today i received case and tempered glass from Nillkin. First i need to say that i always have good experience with they tg. When i install tg i turn off phone. But my advice is that you install tg when you have screen turn on. You will get better perception where to install tg. Tg is perfect size to cover screen. Case friendly. And you get all for installation. In package you get some tipe of tg for back camera.

Twinkle case that i get is soft case. Case is made from 5 different materials. The frame is environmentally friendly and flexible TPU, PC back shell. Combination of hardness and softness. Easy to apply and take off. Affixed with high-grade PU leather and blended with reflective glass particles. The surface is woven polyester mesh. Reflective glass particles process makes it twinkling under different light. Case have some rainbow effect on back side that looks cool when you are outside. Case is slim, very good in hand with ok grip. Buttons work perfect, cutouts are where they should be.

Nice! I'm looking for a screen protector that works with a Speck case and this might fit the bill.
Based on my S7 experience, the lip of the Speck case can cause issues for screen protectors that cover too much of the face.
EDIT: It's cheaper off Aliexpress vs Nillkin storefront
That screen protector looks much smaller than the device screen.

Yes, It covers only the visible screen part. The bottom"lip" part stays uncovered.
Can you post a photo with the phone's screen on? That'll help us see the coverage better. Thanks!

Huness Full Coverage Tempered Glass Screen Protector + TPU Case

When I ordered my Pixel 4, I ordered a few various screen protectors and cases to have ready when it arrived. I'm very happy to report that the first one I tried out has turned out so well that I just threw all the other cases/protectors in a drawer to collect dust.
Amazon Link ($7.99)
I installed the case first to use as a guide to install the protector and the end result is the most perfect protector install I've done on any phone, with perfect alignment and no dust trapped underneath. There is no "halo" line to be seen where the clear part of the protector meets the black border around the edges, either. I was quite worried about that.
I initially intended to use this protector (or another one) with a Spigen TPU case, but the case that comes with this protector is so good (with a slim snug fit and perfectly tactile button feel) that I have no desire to remove it. I love the combo so much that I decided to order another one to have as a spare in case they ever disappear from Amazon.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this with others who may be looking for full coverage protectors. Here are a few pics I took. Any dust seen is on top of the protector. Living in a brand new house, it's impossible to escape, unfortunately.

Does the screen protector adhere well on the edges? Or does it rise up?

Sorry for the delay. The edges adhere with no issues. I haven't had any lifting at all. It's still perfect.
Full coverage protectors always seem to chop off a bit of the display. Usually noticeable in apps that have objects near the edges. How does this one fare?

I disagree. I have installed many screen protectors and this one does not confirm to the curved edges of the screen. The case is excellent though.
I bought it just today, waiting for it to arrive to me in Italy (about 10 days). From the photos I can see that they are a winning combination!
