Hello, my phone is at Sony right now for new glass . I was using aRingke fusion case, with P think glass on the front. Saturday night it fell off the couch onto hardwood floor on its face. I didn't see any cracks then, but the next day the screen shattered in my front pocket. The tempered glass cover was fine and showed no signs of an impact. I really liked the glass, but did notice that there was about a millimeter of space on either side when it was installed. I was wondering if there are any protectors that are truly covering the glass all the way to the edge of the frame? I think that Full coverage of the glass may have protected it better, since the shattered area looked like it started right at the edge of the glass.
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks
1mm isn't much, what brand did you have? I'd suggest the DevilCase tempered glass. It's near perfect.

It was the Pthink brand that is on Amazon. I've been thinking about going to the Devilcase, but the unprotected back concerns me.

I'm referring to their tempered glass, not the bumper:silly:
Ohhh. I didn't realize they had tempered glass! Thanks, I'll check it out.
I finally got my phone back and ordered the Devilcase glass. I can confirm that it is a VERY tight fit! I coupled that with a solid wood case so hopefully no more broken screens for me!

I want to use my phone without any case. I'm not afraid of scratches, but I'm afraid of screen cracking if I drop my phone. So my question is: if I use tempered glass, will it protect my screen from cracking? Or they will both be cracked? And I also want that glass is the thinnest. So I was thinking about getting 0.15 mm tempered glass. Is it different from 0.3mm or 0.4mm in term of protection, or does only the hardness matter?
Thank you for your reply.
I've dropped mine many many times onto wood and concrete without a screen protector. The phone is a little chipped and scratched, but the screen is absolutely fine.
A nilkin tempered glass screen protector is a good investment as it feels brilliant although when I dropped mine with that on it smashed the corner of the protector.
The edges of the phone are slightly raised so without the screen protector on, a drop onto a flat surface will not damage the screen but will damage the screen protector.
A drop onto a raised surface like a stone would probably break the screen protector but don't know if it'd also damage the screen.
Question is, how often do you drop your phone, and how much do you want to spend on glass protectors?

I was thinking about Nillkin, but I think it would be too thick. So I'm considering those 0.15 mm protectors in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...5mm-dot-view-friendly-tempered-glass-t2810825
I also thought about xtremeguard, since I use their normal protectors and they are great. It 50$, but with 85% off coupon it's just a few bucks. Only problem is that it's 0.4mm.
Which one would you recommend? I'm planning to spend 10-15$, because 40-50$ is really to much for a protector, in my opinion.

Is it noticable a lot while it's on the phone, since it's 0.3mm?

If your looking for it, but after putting on, I haven't paid much attention to it. I dropped my phone once, chipped away at the edges of the shield. The seller replaced it free. I like tempered glass, it is the only screen proctor I will put on my phones. The only bad thing is that it goes edge to edge with the glass. So if you have a case that touches the screen, that might cause a problem. I use a thin clear cars I got off ebay. Works for me.

The only annoying thing could be top edge, when I pull down notification bar.
Case wouldn't be a problem, because I'm planning to use phone without case, and that why I'm looking for a tempered glass, to protect screen from cracking.

Actually then it could be a benefit, because going edge to edge means you will probably not touch the edge. And the edge is not sharp, nice and smooth. The price is cheap enough to try it. I have tried several over the last few months, mostly from China. But this is US born and works and feels great.
Now we have replacement phones how are you carrying them?
I have spigen neo hybrid crystal and factory screen plastic while I decide what to do.
Its a problem. I have yet to own an Edge series mobile that I am able to purchase a glass screen protector in fact any sort of screen protection. This is the one major problem for most Edge users across the range.
Please let me know if you find a decent one.

I am thinking about putting a skinomi wet install full body protector film, the back part is the the one I worry the most, but I dont want to hide it in a case, as it is really eye catching
OK so further to this I have scratches on the rear of my phone - which generally lives in a CASE! This GG5 is ****e.

I think sand and similar particles will scratch gorilla glass. If sand or similar particles get behind the case on a glass backed phone it can likely get scratches. I also agree that the curved glass screens mean any tempered screen protector is pretty much out. That sucks, because tempered protectors prevent about 95% of breaks and they hold up much better than plastic protectors which get scratched easily. I have been making my own clear plastic screen protectors by using a tempered protector I had that fit over the flat part of the display (but wouldn't stay down on the edges even still which is why I took it off) as a template to make a screen protector out of dollar store tablet screen protectors. That is not a permanent solution and once I get my replacement N7 set up I am going to be using the galaxy tab7 plastic skin protector and wrap it around the phone all the way to the back. This has already been done as DIY screen protector by another member here and looks like the best option right now. I will not be going naked as one of my businesses is contracting/construction (the other retail) and my phone will be in a tool pouch so I need to have some kind of screen protector on when working like this.
yes, sand particles between the case and the back,will surely make scratches, no doubt about
Hello guys, I am looking for a good tempered glass that can handle scratches and protect the phone from drops.. I had a tempered glass but my phone droped from 1 meter and the glass and the screen too just came broken... So I want the best from you..

I think nilkin can't get over all of the screen, I mean can't protect the all screen. At the edges would be empty..

Bro, Tempered Glasses don't work like that. Last week i dropped my max just from above a feet. Since it fell by corner it popped out of frame i pushed it back. Got a little dent on corner and i don't had glass or cover. I ordered a metal cover which i will receive by the week. I will test that and put a review on accessories section. Tempered glass don't provide protection from dropping ur phone. I would recommend you case over glass since they only provide screen protection not 360 protection.

Wait few days i will put a detailed review of this cover With pros and cons..

U talking about Samsung Galaxy S6??
I believe you. They can protect some devices but not all. samsung s6 body is made of gorilla glass 4 (front and back panel). I guess that G Glass 4 is the most latest by corning. How strong is it you can see demo on YT. Even if you don't had glass on it. Normally It wasn't going to break. Although sometimes it's glass get crack if you drop it without case or screen guard.
On other hand we have Mi Max which got a metal body. It's weight is 203g and have massive screen. S6 weight only 138grams. I am saying if it falls to floor by it's back/front panel, There's no prob but if it falls by corner then you have to worry about it.
Also i have experienced that devices with a plastic body don't break easily and metal devices get dents sometimes if they fall by corners. So the only damage i m talking about metal device is DENTS. If you drop it from ur pocket it's more likely going to be a side drop (it can fall by corner). Side drop will more likely results ina dent and i don't think a galas will protect from side drops. Glass is grt for screen protection.
At the end choice is yours!! choose wisely
Had my Mi Max screen broken. 50 cm flight right to the stone parquet. The corners are weak spots. So, if you have screen protector not covering the ends, glass is not protected. Nothing helps, ok maybe some ugly case.
About metal unibody... good commercial. I have reassmbled Mi Max for few times. No metal in there.

Suggest me good tempered glass and a good case that can handle this cases.. but not a case like the above's guy..
I wish I could help. I have read several forums about screen protecting but sadly there is no solution because Mi Max has 2,5D edges.
About case: i have used Nillkin hard plastic transparent cover. Looks solid, edges over the corners. Havent dropped yet, but I truely believe, that it minimizes the risk.

I found a good tempered for 6 euros.. it covers all the screen, the TEMPERED that I had it was covering all the screen... So out there are exist some good tempered glass
What do you think about a bumper for case? It helps?
Hello! Nillkin is already up to date with glass and case, just let know:
Frosted shield case:
http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...-9-accessories/nillkin-huawei-honor-9-frosted
H glass (0.33mm, flat edges)
http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...-honor-9-accessories/nillkin-huawei-honor-9-h
H+ Pro glass (0.2mm, 2.5D edges)
http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...or-9-accessories/nillkin-huawei-honor-9-h-pro
Bought h+ pro. Review as received
Any news on the screen protectors? Is there any edge-to-edge apart those with adhesive only on the frame?
Yeah, this glass is a piece of sh*t. Don't buy it. Got it last week and it's not anywhere close to edge-to-edge, you will have a 2mm gap on each side and it doesn't cover the whole display. Save your money and order a Nillkin which should be exactly the size of the screen. I've ordered it online and the same day returned it in Olomouc.
The one in the first post, the H+ on Ali.
Yes, it is, but it should be worth the waiting. And I've ordered it a week before Honor 9 was available in EU, so it should be here this week.
Man you just got the one I've returned, the man in Olomouc wrote the Honor 9 on the top, lol.
I have ordered

Just got this case http://nillkin.org/smartphones-accessories/huawei-phones-accessories/huawei-honor-9-accessories/nillkin-huawei-honor-9-frosted and this protective film http://nillkin.org/smartphones-accessories/huawei-phones-accessories/huawei-honor-9-accessories/nillkin-huawei-honor-9-1 for free with the case; ordered on Ali.
Super Frosted case (black) - very nice case, really sturdy BUT I have few complaints - it's kinda slippery on the sides but this will go away after some use maybe and the bottom side around jack, charging port and speaker is a bit sharp and if you're holding the phone with the little finger on the bottom it't not really comfortable. Besides that it's really nice case for the price but I expected a bit more. But once again for the price it's more than OK.
Super Clear Protective Film - in terms of size the best screen protector I've had. Obviously it's not edge-to-edge but it does cover the whole display with gaps on the edges BUT the display is fully protected so thumbs up for me. In terms of "anti-fingerprint" it's nowhere close to the display or the back but is much better than some noname protector I've got with TPU case. Overall very nice screen protector for free but I'm still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass and some noname edge-to-edge tempered glass.
Once I get my hands on the H+ I will post the review.

Do I mean this Protective Film is enough scratch protection?
I have ordered the same, but I think it's not enough.
Should I bought the H+ and change it.
My order isn't delivered yet. I'm from Germany, the order comes from China.

Well scratch protection should be "good enough" but the plastic film will scratch very easily and H+ tempered glass should be much better as tempered glass is always more durable.

You're welcome. The plastic screen will get you through the time until the tempered glass is delivered and it's really nice but I always prefer tempered glass.
I have received my Nilkin super premium Glass Protector. It sucks. It doesn't even cover the whole screen area... I ordered a 1$ one from Aliexpress China which is EXACTLY the same. Same dimensions, same material, same packaging except the nilkin box... Really dissapointing.

Yeah got the same one with the so called arc edges. As Mentioned when you put it over the screen there is like a gap on each side of the screen left and right which it not covers. Looks and feels like cr*p
Haven't found any good glass one yet, tried cheapo ones from Aliexpress and now the expensive Nilkin one, they are literally all the same.
Could you post an actual photo on the phone please?
Yep, sure. No halo effect on the sides? What about oleophobic coating?

I bought an Edge to Edge tempered glass from good mobile accessory shop and got it fitted in my Mi10 by a professional technician there itself.After a week or so there developed one or two air bubbles in the screen and they began to grow big covering half of my screen.So I approached the shop again and they repalaced the glass with a new one.After about 2 weeks there began to develop air bubbles again and they growing in size gradually.My had not dropped anywhere from me or others.So what is the reason for this?If I replace the tempered glass with a Screen Protector film,can the developing of air bubbles be completely prevented?Aso will this actually protect the phone screen glass from breaking in the event of a fall?Can anyone suggest a good quality Tempered glass and good quality Scree Protector Film?

It will offer some protection but if the phone lands a certain way the screen is going to crack regardless of what you've got on.
I just used a basic film one but the fingerprint is a bit crap. Glass ones never fitted right.
Hey you can try using Siege Glastimate+ for Galaxy S20+. It's a UV glue tempered glass. Price is quite high but it is really case friendly tbh bc im using the glass with my Ringke Fusion-X casing with no problem. And also the tempered glass has no touch issues whatsoever bc it is a UV glue not like normal tempered glass with edge only glue. And for the back panel I'm using a cheap carbon fibre sticker to avoid scratches haha
I bought the one from *******.. to much of my surprise it actually is quite good.
Installation was easy with an included guide/holder. The film has 2 parts that lets you apply the top half first then the bottom.
It's super thin, like what you'd see from the factory. The TPU film is also really smooth.
