I bought a random one and the oleophobic coating didn't work.

Lol, how do you know if it did not work, oleophobic coating is either not applied or it's applied, if you can't swipe across the glass easily and your finger has friction, it probably doesn't have oleophobic coating, is that what you're asking?

Does anybody know if there's a glass screen protector out there that feels like the naked htc one screen and is also fingerprint/smudge-resistant? Is there any that comes even close? or is it even not possible? I know matte ones can be anti-fingerprint, but doesn't feel like the naked glass...
Most likely would have to go matte to be fingerprint resistant IME

thank you for the reply. i am still hoping some random person on this forum would know of one from like on ebay or something. for now, i'll just add the MIME feather glass to my wishlist since i still prefer the feeling of glass over the feeling of a matte one.
I have the MIME ghost glass on mine. Don't get alot of prints on there unless my hand is oily and sweaty. Wipes off easily, so I don't mind if it has smudges or finger prints

The MIME feather glass screen protector is definitely what you are looking for.

I heard the oleophobic coating, eg anti-fingerprint wear off after a couple of months faster if you are a gamer.

Ehi guys, which screen protector do you use?
I've got Mediadevil cristal clear. Not bad, but it's not oleophobic at all. Do you know a good oleophobic screen protector? Thank you!
I'm fairly sure the Spigen GLAS series of protectors are oleophobic, as well as the Obliq Zeiss Oleophobic one. Neither of these are as good as the screen but they work well. I have the Obliq one and I love it,

Thank you for your input man, it's my first day with the awesome Nexus 5!
The Spigen GLAS tempered glass screen protectors do have some oleophobic properties, but it still gathers fingerprints quite easily (I have this on my N5). I've also used a Clarivue Anti-Glare screen protector that was also oleophobic, and while it worked for a while the surface started to rub off and was clearly worn out after several months of use, especially around where the keyboard is.
No oleophobic screen protector is perfect (obviously) and be cautious of those that will wear out after some use. And obviously it reduces the screen quality in some cases. Just food for thought.
I use this. It has oleophobic coat like on gorilla glass, but seems to attract some dust in my pocket unlike non-oleophobic screen protectors..

@gnufabio sorry for the off post but would it be any possibility for you to add the tf101 parts to the op so that we can use them without the server?
I just finished installing a Nillkin H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector. It also has the oleophobic coating (pretty much all tempered glass screen protectors have it, if they want to be rated 9H) and it seems to be working quite well.
The good thing about this one is it has the nice rounded edges and is ~$25 - $30 cheaper than the Spigen. Spigen is charging way too much for what you get. Their glass screen protectors are not worth $40.
Just read through these though, and decide what is best for you.

Just adding a comment that the Nillkin tempered glass oleophoic coating works quite well for me. I have had it for a couple months now, and no complaints. Basically Stock feel (on glass) and I'd say the coating is better than stock screen.

Thank you for the link but I'm trying to see if any users have first hand experience with them. I found a couple on Amazon but want to see if they are actually worth buying. I might have to be the tester if anything.

You need to buy either Whitestone Dome or SGFreshIdea's InvisShield tempered glass because they both us LOCA that adheres to the phone fully.
The other tempered glass protectors you're purchasing have adhesive only on the edges, which is what causes the rainbow effect.

i think this is not a good idea, the good one is to get rid of the rainbow effect on any lights, this is the first time i faced a problem with tempered glass like that

Does the mate 20 x come with a glass srceen protector?
bump
No,my 20x comes with Plastic srceen protector
Ditto - plastic
So you guys recommend I get a glass screen protector? Or just leave the plastic one it already has?
.
I would use the plastic until it is no longer usable then switch to temp glass. I still have the plastic and and will keep it that way until it is too damaged.

If you plan the use the pen the plastic will not last much from my experience and it does scratch easy. Also the plastic does not have oleophobic coating and it will gather finger oils fast. On top of that the finger does not glide as smooth on it as it does on glass.

It depends on your usage patterns and how picky you are... you can use it as it is for a while and see how it fits you... if you are not happy get a glass for it...
Just make sure it's a good glass, meaning it needs to have rounded edges, oleophobic coating, cover the screen properly but fits fine with the case you are using...

Good advice. Thanks. But when I do decide to get a glass protector for it, what thickness do you recommend I get?

Don't expect the glass to protect the screen much in case on an impact giving the big size of the screen... my glass is around 0.2-03mm thick...
Don't get me wrong It's definitely better to have one sheet of glass on it than a sheet of plastic when are talking about impact just don't expect miracles
I've put a glass on it because I am picky:
- the default sheet although is nice to have and protects from scratches but it does not have oleophobic coating so it smudges pretty bad
- when using a pen you need to push harder and the default plastic sheet gets scratched a lot and also gets some deep scratches fast, also the pen does not slide smoothly like it does on a glass
- the feel of smooth glass while scrolling is priceless... finger slides on glass so much better...
- I watch a lot of media on the phone so I hate having scratches on the screen and no matter how carefull you are, you will get scratches... some will be quite deep and will be visible.
- I use the flip case and with a flip case you have a higher chance of some dirt to get caught between the flip and the screen and get scratched
- the screen is flat so a glass screen is cheap (compared to the ones for the curbed screens are are more expensive and with many drawbacks)
I use a Glass Screen Protector from Amazon.

Hello,
i ordered bmy ZF3 a few days ago.
Which screen protector do you recommend?
i am looking for a tempered glass for the front facing display.
Screen protectors are usually crap (or all rate the same in terms of breaking(gorilla glass / tampered is usually a better option but if you really want to keep our screen and phone safe use a very thick padded generic folding cover it'll feel like youre carrying a brick in your pockect but your phone will be safe with 2 floors of fall damage (the indian shops in South Africa) usually have them but making a custom one is best it
**mustn't be too thick to put too much pressure on the screen when cover is closed**
I am currently using the whitestone dome tempered glass on the front. Works well. But seems to attract fingerprints.
I can second Whitestone dome ez protector on front. Finger prints doesn't seem to be a problem for me though
Assume U take off the existing front protector first correct?

To be honest in my perception for foldable devices the temper glasses are worst choice, since they are not flexible as screen protectors so there might be a chance of damaging your display. Its preferable to choose screen protector which is a thin film and works well for foldable

I believe he is just talking about using tempered glass on the front/outer screen. I don't see why that would be an issue. My tempered glass screen protectors for the front screen are arriving today and I can't wait to get the stock one off.
seancannery88 said:
Using temper glass for Foldable devices is a bit risky I feel, there might be a chance of damaging the display while folding with tempers on. So I prefer screen protectors which are thin, flexible and its safer comparing to screen protectors. Also I've been using my S20 Fe with gadgetshieldz screen protectors on it for months and it works well.

Again, as was just stated in reply to your last comment, he's talking about using tempered glass for the OUTSIDE screen, NOT the folding one. There is no tempered glass screen protector for the folding display.

AGAIN, mobile freak said he wanted a tempered glass screen protector for the FRONT FACING SCREEN. Not the inner folding screen.
Seancannery88 just keeps replying that he doesn't recommend a tempered glass screen protector for the folding display.
And tempered glass screen protectors do NOT exist for the folding display. One with ultra thin glass (not tempered glass) does.
