My alignment is off on my realook screen protector so is it wise to take off and reapply?

I wouldn't...
I've had issues with screen protectors in the past when I reapplied them. They would always not stick on properly or just look bad in general after the realignment. If the issue is not so big, do not reapply
We have an ivisishield on the wife's shift and i reapplied it no problem there was a few air pockets but they worked themselves out after a couple days. Didn't even use the spray that came with it.

It's not a big issue, but it's still kinda bothering me. I have another screen protector but it would be a waste to use it. Realook are high quality screen protectors so I dont think stickyness will be an issue, but dust might get in when i take it off..
EDIT: take a chance if you had it for a good price. Else, just leave it that way and wait until it starts to peel off
I agree wit koperniczx3
But I think it wont stick nicely, and the air bubbles would probably easily go underneath.
Let us know what you eventually did

I decided to just save my extra screen protector and stick with my messed up one. Not a huge deal so it would be a waste to use a new one. Thanks for all the input.

I re-apply screen protectors all the time. I take them off the device and rinse the tacky side gently with running tap water and sometimes a little bit of hand soap. Then I lightly shake excess water off of the screen protector and re-apply with a plastic card covered with a lens rag. Any beading water between the screen and screen protector will squeeze out with some squeegee action from the card/rag combo, and just pat dry around the edges. There should be no dust and no bubbles this way. I've never had water damage or anything, it's just a tiny bit of water. Of course you should do all this with the device powered off just in case.
I wouldn't. Once you take them off and put them back on, they won't stick right. Unless you wanna be attacked by air bubbles in the protector, I'd say just leave it be.
nope. not gonna be the same
By "reapply" you mean using the old protector? if so don't do it....
if the alignment is off that means your protector is too small, that usually happens with low quality ones. High-end ones will fits exactly.

Generally I have had bad luck applying screen protectors after the first time. I put one on a phone not long ago, and it came out crooked. Wasted the protector in the end...
OK, I NEED to ask you this question: why on earth would anyone use a screen protector on a Gorilla Glass? Before Optimus 4X, I had Samsung Wave for two years - also protected with Gorilla Glass, and I never used any protection but a simple back cover. And guess what? Not a single scratch! I have a maltese dog, he ran across 4X HD numerous times, he even once stumbled upon it on the bed and the phone fell on the floor - guess what - no scratches :highfive:
So I would recommend you all - just buy a cover, or maybe a flip case, and it will be enough
And do not be offended by this post, plese
Gorilla glass is nice but not perfect. My first gorilla glass phone was scratched on the second day of use. It wasn't in the same pocket as my keys and coin either. My gorilla glass tablet had zillions of micro scratches too, looked so cloudy in comparison to a screen-protected device. When my screen protector is getting cloudy I can just apply a new one...can't do that with naked gorilla glass.
I don't use those protectors anymore becuase the material is very often very cheap. All my protectors got soo many scratches so i "put it away" and now I don't get any scratches on my display.

Depends on the Screen Protector. Some are ok to re-apply, so are not. At minimum try to smooth out the air bubbles.
Hello.
I wonder if my recently mounted tempered glass protector hold on well when I insert the mobile in water, I bought the ultimate shield protector. ¿Does anyone know if it could take off over time after inserting it in water oftenly?
thank you! Great community

After you applied the screen protector in water, just remove the excessive water that's between the phone and the protector. Do it with a squeegee or use a hairdryer.
I tried a quick wash of phone, with the shield on. It stayed without problems!

Thank you guys, I will try not to wet the screen very ofte.
I found that once I used water to apply the screen protector large amounts of moisture were still trapped inside the screen even after a week. They weren't like water bubbles either, the protector was completely flush. Anyways, this moisture started become really obvious and discoloring my screen until I took it off. Anyone else have problems with doing this?

Hello, I don´t know your issue exactly. But what is recommended to do is to clean the mobile screen with alcohol or the washcloth supplied with the protector. You shouldn´t use water I think...

You should definitely not use alcohol unless its heavily diluted or you can wear out the oleophobic coating on the screen. A wet application with water i think is fine, everyone does it, cant seem to figure out why i have this problem.
As the question in title goes, how many of you here are not using a screen protector on your Oneplus 3/3T? What's your experience so far without one? Any good or bad?
As for me, after going through probably a dozen of screen protectors (both TGSP and films), I have decided that it's time I should just not bother with screen protectors anymore, since none of them provide a good/smooth experience as compared to the beautiful naked screen

Ozyl 2.5 works pretty good except for a few rainbows effect at times.

I felt exactly the same when I bought my 3T, I'm using it without any screen protector. Now it has been 5 months since I got it and it's in perfect condition, no scratch at all, etc. The screen can for sure handle some coins or keys in a pocket without any protection.

My phone pocket is always dedicated for my phone only, never keep anything else like keys/coins with it anyways

Been using mine without a screen protector for around 5 months now. Not a single scratch.
I didn't like how bouncy the original screen guard was so i replaced it with a curved, full cover one. But i didn't like the dotmatrix bull**** so i got rid of it.
I actually don't need a screen guard or a case since i almost never drop anything.
EDIT: I also don't put anything other than my phone and maybe tissues in my pocket.
I used the Orzly Screen protector for about Two weeks in December when I first got the phone. Hated it so threw it away and went without one ever since. I use a Spigen Rugged Armor case and that is it. No nicks or scratches so far. I keep it in a pocket by itself all of the time. I remember dropping it twice but it landed on the corners both times and didn't even damage the case..
I tried Orzly V2 but the rainbow effect in the screen was a s**t... So, i tried the rhinoshield: id does not cover all the screen (1 millimeter on the left and 1 mm on the right) but for the moment is the best protector I've ever seen.
I've been using my phone without a screen protector since I've had it and the only way you can see any tiny little surface scratches is with a head torch on and scrutinising the screen surface. As another member has mentioned, I have been using just a Spigen rugged armour case and that's it. The screen won't get badly scratched if you are careful enough, I'll happily accept some light scratches just as part of the wear and tear process.
I have from today started trying an orzly glass screen protector purely because I have fitted a new phone holder bag thing to my road bike and I feel I mike get scratches on the screen through taking it in and out. The orzly isn't bad, especially for the money, but I can see why people don't like it.
Once a screen protector shows its first bubble i remove it. Annoying otherwise. Screen protectors are just worthless to me. Dont expose your phone screen to anything other than your pocket or finger. Get a case with a lip lift so settings your phone down sets it on its case not the screen. Screen protectors are mostly plastic anyway so you get that nasty plastic feel aside from the feel of a touchscreen panel. The feel of using a touchscreen alone is enough to not want the screen protector for me.

Glad i could help. Last time i used a screen protector it was ruined rifht when i put it on. The reason gorilla Glass exists is to prevents scuff and scratches. Screen protectors give it unnecessary help. Its already protecting against shattering and scratches. If you are scratching the screen with normal use then cut your fingernails. Or take the acrylics off, theyre ridiculous anyway.
I'm without any screen protector as well.
As mentioned the only scratches I see are those tiny ones which can be only seen under direct sunlight or under torch and on specific angle.
My heart stopped one day when I dropped my phone straight onto marble, was already searching for rs10000 but the screen fell flat and absorbed the impact, there was not even a scratch on the screen.
Been using from a month without screen protector or back cover, just a skin.
Going pretty well till now, specially when you put sky blue wallpaper with naked screen it shines quite unique.
Maybe you could try.
I've never been a fan of screen protectors. My phone screen is bare and still is as good as new.

Actually it fell exactly parallel to the floor, if it was tilted even a few degrees, screen would have cracked.
Yeah lucky me
I use mine without a screen protector and case. I use a dbrand skin black/red to cover the back and not get a y scratches. For the screen it doesn't have a scratch since I got it. Whenever I put a screen protector or tempered glass, the screen gets blurry and/or not clear.

Hey guys how many of you have left the pre installed screen protector on? And does the actual screen hold up to scratches ok and does the naked screen get fingerprints as bad as the screen protector does?

The pre-installed "screen protector" is a very thin piece of plastic similar to the ones you peel off new phones. I put my phone in my pocket with a few keys for a few hours and I was shocked to see TEARS (not scratches) all over the screen. So I immediately removed it to realize it's just thin plastic. I also noticed colors/brightness looked better without it as plastic is not as clear as glass and it affects screen visuals.
The actual screen has Gorilla Glass 3 it should resist scratches but a real screen protector is highly recommended.

Yes mate display looks even more impressive after you remove it glad it helped
The gorilla glass is really soft on this one, so it does scratch a lot (at least in my case). So now I got a tempered glass to mask the scratches and prevent new one from happening.
I just peeled off pre applied from my A70 , I use flip cover

My UK model, bought from the official Samsung online store, didn't come with a factory installed screen protector.
I'm running the latest May update but still find the fingerprint sensor only works 30% of the time despite registering the same thumb 3 times over.
I have a tempered glass protector on, but the sensor was just as poor without it. I find I use face unlock more than anything.
I can live with it, but it's quite a disappointing experience!

Was there any hard to remove left over adhesive?
No

Will the screen protector for the A80 fit the 70?
I like the no notch look of the one for the A80.
Anyone else with a couple of tiny air bubbles or imperfections in the application of the factory screen protector out of the box? I have 2 but they are tiny and only show in certain lights and angles. They are like little dots.
But it does make me worry if Samsung can't apply it perfectly , what chance do I have when I need to replace it?!
Nope me and my wife both have the phone. No bubbles. Was hard to even see the protector at first.
Same I didn't even notice it was there until I peeled of the first layer protector then I could see the real protector underneath

Ok, so there's 2 layers? Like a thin protector covering the ACTUAL screen protector? I just want to make sure before I peel the top layer back.

I left whatever was on there in the box. Fingerprint seems slow but other than that it is good. Are there 2 layers on top?
After a day or two, I had about 3 bubbles show. Not tiny too. I pressed all of them with my fingers. Even rubbed the really tiny one with my nail. That seemed to work
3 note 10 pluses unlocked . only one protector on top.. not two. ive removed the protectors ....
I had a small bump that I tried to scratch off and it is now a small pin hole. Drives me crazy, even though it's hard to see. I chatted with Samsung and they said to take the phone to the Samsung Experience store at Best Buy and they would replace the screen protector. Turned out to be bad information as Best Buy has no replacement parts. I called back and was told it is a warranty item, but Samsung has no replacement screen protectors!!..No time line known to have them.. Also, told I could not remove the existing screen protector as I could damage the screen and it would void warranty.. Not impressed with their lousy customer service!

I am not sure, but the protector preinstalled may be just as the back one, just a packing protective measure

Wow...,seeing that I took a very close look on mine, I don't see any blemishes. Hope it's just some left over glue or dust underneath the plastic protector. Am gonna be taking that protector off as soon as it starts to wear-off.

I honestly don't think it was that i think it was during boxing. From some manuals or the box, something in that stage the phone is money and screen protector as well just something on top i think
Not here.
It was 2 protector on front of mines and wife the top first layer looked like 1 on back with the tab and all and second layer was actual screen protector I got att device idk if that have to do with but the box was different.

That looks like it was marred. Been there, done that.
The factory screen protector is pretty good; leave it on as long as you can. It really can save your screen... I inadvertently tested it in a nasty drop onto a rough metal edge from 2 feet. No glass damage at all.
These phones love to faceplant...
Gorilla IQ Sheild is the only 3rd party protector I would recommend. Self healing, very scratch resistant and a fairly easy wet apply. No bubbles and the tactile feel is acceptable.
Pay close attention to installation. Since it's a wet apply, placement is easy just allow at least 10 hours drying time. If it lifts on the curve even after a month take a little bit water, wet and reapply that portion before dirt gets under it. Make sure it's sticking on the curve surfaces on install; simply press it down an extra time or two in the first few minutes.
Works with any case.
Got 3 months on this one and still looks great. Two to a box.
