I thought that I could get used to it, but my fingers get caught up on it ever time I swipe, and the two lines on the screen it creates are obnoxious.
Was OnePlus being cheap here, did they make a mistake, or is a proper screen protector just not feasible because of the increasing curve on the edges of the screen?
I don't want to get ripped or end up in a worse situation by buying their tempered glass or third party protectors of they are thicker and have the same dimensions...

They intended the screen protector to be there just so people have one on their phone. They weren't trying to prevent you from enjoying it obviously. It is for protection. From what I heard, people love the screen protector. Granted it may not be perfect but they did try. I have a protector for my One and the protector is a bit small for the screen but that's because of the way the phone was built. I'm assuming its the same way for the 3. Filling out the screen to the edges with a screen protector just warrants more cracks when you look at it from an angle. Just because it is a little lacking doesn't mean it won't protect your phone.

Screen protectors on a phone with 2.5D glass is pretty difficult to do well. Even the plastic/film protectors will lift at the edges..

Not sure what you mean by how the OnePlus One was built, I have a screen protector on mine and it covers the screen and bezels comfortably, it's never been an issue.
On my OnePlus 3 there are two black lines within the screen because the protector is so narrow and now those lines are also accumulating debris. No need to be so blindly loyal to a smartphone company. I love the phone, but I just wanted to know if all screen protectors on the market for the OnePlus 3 will be this narrow or if OnePlus just ****ed this up.

Can you just peel off the screen protector? I did that with my Op2.

The OP3 has a 2.5D screen (Like the Nexus 6 does) and having a protector go from edge to edge without having massive airbubbles around the edges is extremely hard. Lookup the "halo" on Nexus 6 and you'll see why they didn't
That's not a screen protector. It's just packing. You are supposed to peel it off and toss it immediately you open the box.

The screen protector is thin and unobtrusive. I hardly notice it's there, except when I go to write the screen with my shirt and feel grateful I don't have to worry about scratching it. I don't find the barely noticeable lines near the screen edges annoying; certainly, scratches on my new phone's screen would bother me much more.

I agree the screen protector is not anything you want to keep, but admit it is nice that it is there at least. When I got my Oneplus One within the first week I put the tiniest of a little scratch on my screen from my keys in my pocket. No one else sees it but I know it is there. All that because I was waiting on my tempered glass screen protector. So, until I figure out which brand of tgsp I want to put on this thing I am glad it is there...but yeah my fingers are not smooth on this thing.

Agree with you on ateast the effort from OP. However I am not very convinced about its usage. Shouldn't gorilla glass 4 protect itself from minor crap like scratches?
On tempered glasses, reading a lot about Nillkin H+ Pro. You can check it out.

Yeah I have been reading about those too and contacted them. They actually have the "Frosted " case for the 3 too just not on the site. Suppose to order the 2 and leave in the notes you want the 3. Lot of people here at xda seem to like that case too. I personally have not used them yet. I have a PTHINK tgsp on my One and LOVE IT! It feels better than the factory glass. Already contacted them and they have not started making them for the 3 yet.

I had the same issue on my moto x gen2. Was worse when I used tempered glass. The curve on the edges of the screen make this difficult. With this being gorilla 4 glass I'll remove my protector on op3 once I get my dbrands skins on.

Couldn't agree more! Now I'm just a redneck who wears bibs all the time so I need something to protect the screen from the buttons on my bibs. I tried at least 2 times to appy tempered glass to my 1+ (who the hell came up with those stupid tabs?) only to FAIL. I found a simple solution- buy a flip cover. Now it takes a little getting used to, but it works very well. The only issue I had was on the rare occasion that I needed to put it my pocket, I made sure that I didn't have anything eles in there with it. But after 2+ years of going commando with my 1+, I can say that screen protectors are a waste of money!
Just found this on Amazon. Tempered glass Supposed to work well with the round edges.

DO NOT use matte protector, it makes the SAMOLED look like 1970s B&W TV with no signal, I tried it on my vibrant and on the new sgs-II with same results. Anyways if you want one then its available here:

hmmmm never heard this before.... this is not good. thanks for the heads up. i was deff gonna buy one. how did it do against finger prints?
It does reduce the fingerprints as compared to glossy one but at a cost of looking at horribly pixelated screen with rainbow effect which is much noticeable in solid colors or backgrounds. You'd wish they worked as well as matte screens on laptop.
LOL i guess i purchased one without knowing

I used to have a matte screen protector on my HD2. Gave me headaches from the rainbow oil-slick effect.
Yep, the other members are correct. I had one on the S2 for about...two days because my OEM screen protector had gotten bent, and it was the worst move ever. Touch accuracy was a joke. The screen looked horrible. ~1980's tv
Yeah I hated my matte screen protector on my SGS4G. Made it look really pixilated like vicosphi said.

Unlike the typical screen protectors, the ones I got from XtremeGuard do not have 3 layers of plastic (meaning there's no protective layer covering the top of the screen protector itself, just the screen protector and the backing).
In addition, the sides of the screen protector do not stick to the screen. You get a bubbling effect all around the screen protector. This probably has something to do with the poor cutting of the film. You can see that they aren't well cut even before peeling and applying the screen protector. I haven't had this issue with other screen protectors, and yes, I've used many.
Maybe they sent me a bad batch but I'm only speaking from experience. I'm not talking about their other full body products, only the screen protector.
I still have around 4 or 5 of them lying around at home left over from testing if anyone wants pictures but that would have to wait until tonight.
Just got my phone today... ordered Realook Screen protector two days ago... I had it on my Samsung Vibrant.. one of the best! It gives the real glass feel and looks like nothing is there.... hope it give me the same result.
i ordered this cheepo matte one. when i get it i'll do a review of it.

i got a matte for my hp touchpad and i love how it makes the screen easier to use even though image is less crisp.
matte Screen protector
I tried a matte screen protector and am glad I finally got some regular ones. The matte one, does not look good on the phone. It is harder to read smaller words and does give the screen a much less defined look. One other big issue is my matte screen did not have the cutout for the front facing camera and every time I tried using the front facing camera, my face was all blurred out. One selling point to the matte screen is enhanced visibility in sunlight. I found out this is not true with the super AMOLED plus screen. The screen looks fantastic in sunlight with a regular screen protector, and dull looking with the matte screen. Hope this helps.

I purchased an xtreme guard on Ebay and the cutout was reversed. The sticky part was on the wrong side. The seller is sending me a replacement. hopefully it's correct this time. The cutout doesn't seem exact either. I'll report back when I get the new screen protector. I purchased a mirror finish one prior and I couldn't see **** in the daylight. Lol!

3 layers? That's the cheap crap. Why do you need to cover a scratchproof screen protector? How do you think they keep costs down? By not doing laying an unnecessary layer of film. Even the $30 ZAGG doesn't have a top protective layer.
In addition, you more than likely applied the film incorrectly.
Mine should be here anyday now. I'll post how to make it proper.
I don't work for Xtreme. I've just always used them since my LG Dare days.
I've worked in the wireless industry since 2005. I applied over 400 screen protectors in the past year.
I can say it's not for everyone. Especially the wet applications. I actually ordered one to prove you wrong.
I'll also do an iPhone 4 and Touchpad as well.

I didn't read the directions. I used a spray bottle. I didn't use the squeegee that came with it. I used another. The screen protectors work perfectly fine. Yes, it gets bubbles. But that's the concept. That's how all wet applications work. I did 3 today and they all settled / cured within hours. Be sure to take your time. I use an air duster. A little heat goes a long way and speeds up the process. I usually throw it in my pocket screen facing my leg.
If you get dust under there, you muffed up.
Some of the bubble will stay under there for 1-3 days. You can work them out. If you stretch the screen protector it will overlap and you will see it lift up. I left mine sit in the sunlight for a little and the bubble started working themselves out. Make sure you're doing it right first before telling everyone to avoid the company. Have a little more tact. I'm sure most of the others are probably better at simple things like applying screen protectors than you are.

Curious if you got yours yet and how its looking?
I always preferred the Matte ones because of the feel of them and the lack of finger prints.
I've always used heavy duty cases with a built in screen protector but I punch them out and use the screen naked. I'm a mechanic and usually have dirt etc on my hands when I use my phone. I've never had a issue with a scratched screen.
Recently I bought my young son a phone (without gorilla glass) and the case I bought him came with a tempered glass screen protector so I put it on there and I really liked it (I've never used one before) so I put one on my 6p and like the added piece of mind.
On to my dilemma, I bought a pixel xl the other day and was using it naked since my case and screen protector hasn't come in yet. While eating dinner one night the phone slipped out of my pocket and onto my laminate wood floor. When I picked it up it had a scratch across the screen so bad I thought the screen was cracked. Luckily the phone was defective (bad sim slot or something, would drop service randomly) and had to be exchanged. I'm leaving the new phone in the box until my case gets here but the screen protectors are here and they suck. They are too small and no matter what I can't install them perfectly straight to cover the whole viewing area. Looks like I'm going to have to run the phone without a screen protector but I'm afraid the screen will get scratched again since the first phone for such a bad scratch and over never had this problem with other phones.
Anyone else have their screen scratch easily? I've attached a photo of the scratch which doesn't do it justice of how deep and long the scratch was and a photo of the screen protector improperly installed (super hard to line up correctly, no margin for error).

The screen protectors are like a mm or two shorter around because of the beveled edge. You will never get 100% of the screen covered at this time. If the screen protectors were full size, the edge bevels would cause bubbling and also make it easy to peel off.
This is from reading many reviews on tons of screen covers. I'd assume a nice case + screen glass would make it almost invisible to the naked eye.
That's my problem, I don't think a proper glass screen protector will ever be available for this phone. At this point I think the pixel has too many strikes against it and I might return it and stick with my 6p. I just hope if I do that the 6p will work OK with daydream.

This is going to be an issue with most phones going forward now, 2.5D glass (or glass with a slight curve to it) looks nicer and feels nicer and therefore manufactures will use it. I personally have a tempered glass screen protector that covers the viewable screen portion of the front of the phone and it still feels every bit as premium as it did with out it. I currently use my phone in the google case (in grey) and i love it, i have a couple of skins on their way though so I will be ditching the case soon. I have a scratch on the rear glass panel but this will be covered up soon hopefully.
If you are quick Tempered Glass Screen Protectors for the Pixel XL are dead cheap as companies try to establish a customer base for their products. I picked up two for £0.01 and 99p postage on amazon.

What screen protector do you have? I ordered another brand. I'll be using the i-blison ( or whatever brand it is) heavy duty case and am hoping to find a proper screen protector. To be honest I wouldn't even use one if the first screen didn't scratch so easily/ bad since with all my other phones I've had such good luck. I plan to use this phone with daydream tho so I need a screen without scratches.

Looking at the OnePlus 3 since it has 2.5d glass and has been out for a while and came across this screen protector: https://youtu.be/8ZgKLWhwoPo
Hopefully something like this will come out for the pixel xl, it looks much better and would go great with a case that has a thick lip.

Both cover the width of the visible screen and are 1.5mm short of the two and bottom of the phone. The glass has a cut out for the proximity sensor and do not cover the front facing camera. No halo effect as they are a bit smaller than the front of the phone and so far no scratches or lifting. As mentioned I currently use it with the official google grey case.

Yeah I imagine most of the early ones are from the same manufacturer in China.
Gorilla Glass 4 isn't better than the previous version(s). Besides, they make the phone scratch resistant, not scratch proof.. Sand, tiny little diamonds cut through just about anything...
Glad you at least had a remedy of having it exchanged for some other hardware failure, otherwise you'd had to get an insurance exchange and paid the deductible..

Nexus 6, LG G4, Samsung 4 5 6, iphone 6s+ and many more all have had the same problems, like its been mentioned, newer phones use new tech like 2.5D screens which have curves. Its the cheap tgsp manufacturers that dont warrant the expense of making expensive tgsp that fit the curves.
Picked up the Samsung Screen Protector yesterday - knew it was a plastic one not tempered glass, but after experiencing issues with the tempered glass protectors on my wife's S7 Edge I thought I'd just go with the one Samsung sold.
Unfortunately I'm not happy with it at all - looked fine on the phone by itself, but kept lifting up on the edges as soon as I put a case on it (Spigen Slim Armor)
So given the choice of screen protector or case - I think I'll go with case.
Even when I pushed the edges down while the case was on it still kept lifting - this is what it looked like after an hour in my pocket:

Nothing was available when I preordered the phone. So I ordered the Liquid Nano stuff from Amazon. It's supposed to fill in any of the imperfections in the glass and help prevent cracks and scratches. So far so good, but it hasn't been a week yet. I'm a little skeptical but I haven't seen any screen protectors that look worth a damn. I don't believe we'll ever see a good curved glass protector, one with adhesive on all sections of the glass. I will say the liquid nano seems to repel skin oils really well and it says it'll last 2 years. I'll give it a month before I say it's good or not.

Picked up the Samsung Screen Protector yesterday - knew it was a plastic one not tempered glass, but after experiencing issues with the tempered glass protectors on my wife's S7 Edge I thought I'd just go with the one Samsung sold.
Unfortunately I'm not happy with it at all - looked fine on the phone by itself, but kept lifting up on the edges as soon as I put a case on it (Spigen Slim Armor)
So given the choice of screen protector or case - I think I'll go with case.
Even when I pushed the edges down while the case was on it still kept lifting - this is what it looked like after an hour in my pocket:
So if you're considering the Samsung branded screen protector - beware.

Where did you buy it?

Bought this too. It's fully compatible with the Ringke Slim case since it doesn't lift around the edges. The only issue I've had with this screen protector is that the edges seem to collect dust - after 2 days, it looks like there's a thin white border all around. At least it doesn't lift with my case.
The Suprecool Screen Protector for S8 Plus in itself is great, I cannot even feel it, and it feels like it will be at least some form of protection, I have yet to drop it, and don't really feel like testing my Phone.
Can clearly see that it's your case peeling the protector, get a new case that doesn't lift the protector off, apply it correctly and you will have no issues.
Im using the same protector but with the clear case from Samsung wich doesn't peel the protector like yours is doing, no issues, ill take one pic tomorrow.
I ended up getting a pack of these after I posted on April 24th and I was able to successfully install the first one flawlessly and it's still on looking great. No peeling or anything. Wasn't hard to install either. Had a few small bubbles that disappeared within an hour.

Any updates regarding the liquid nano? Which brand did you bought?
I think it's not available in India
Edit:- Here it is.. but I have doubt that it's not genuine because all 38 reviews from out side of India

I use the official Samsung Screen Protector and also use the Alcantara case and have had no problems. In fact, all the cases I've used have had no problems with this screen protector. There is a very slight edge lift on all the edges, but it shouldn't interfere with the screen and it shouldn't continue past the bezels. Mine was installed in the Samsung Store by an employee.

This lip on all the edges was actually my problem, in fact it was a little bit more pronounced on the right edge; but you could feel it clearly when swiping and it obviously collects dust in time, looking more and more terrible....

Hm, that's interesting. It hasn't happened to me... yet. I've had the screen protector for about a month. I'll update if this does happen unless I get some major scratch soon.

I don't know. But it was perfectly aligned and installed by the seller in Samsung Store.....
If you say it didn't raise further from the edges and didn't collect dust in about a month, maybe I'll try another one...
Thanks!
Got this and no issues with it yet. The screen feels more natural (like the actual phone) as opposed to the spigen one i used - which ironically the reason why i changed was because it was lifting after a coupe of hours.
the case is the issue - not the screen protector.
Re the nano liquid - waste of money. Mine slide down my ironing board when I folded it, and gently hit the floor and folded face down onto wood flooring - result was a chip in the middle of the glass. These merely help to keep the screen a little cleaner. Thats all.
Are you going to get a Tempered Glass Screen Protector for your Pixel 3? I might give caseology a try on this one but I'm probably going to wait at least a month to see reviews.
For now I'm going to try this

Get a few from these guys while you're waiting. Keep your screen somewhat protected until we have time to figure out the best screen protectors.
These flexible glass screen protectors have been a game changer for me.

I prefer thin cases and traditional tempered glass is so thick that it sticks up beyond the lip of my case. These protect like glass, but flex just enough to not shatter on the first drop.
I am not affiliated with Brotect in any way. Just sharing my experience.
Until Whitestone Dome comes out with a screen protector for the Pixel 3/XL (or Belkin joins the Made for Google gang), you can pretty much guarantee that all options are going to provide a sub-optimal experience (rainbow effect, smaller than the viewable display, weak and visible adhesive, etc).
I've ordered the Verizon branded one so it's ready for when my phone arrives. I'm not optimistic in the least bit, but it's some sort of protection until hopefully Whitestone drops some love on the P3.

I hope you're right that Whitestone Dome comes out with their own version for the pixel 3. I love the one that's on my pixel 2 XL. It's perfect no bubbles
I too purchased the Verizon glass screen protector for my Pixel 3 but, when WhiteStone comes out with theirs I will def buy. Had one on my S9 and it was the total best experience for a glass screen protector. As long as you follow the directions and have patience it far outweighs any other protector with regard to clarity, screen adhesion, and toughness.
My Pixel 3 XL arrived this am sooner than expected. Was thinking of stoping by the Verizon Store to see if they have any of theirs in stock until something solid starts to surface. I have Whitestone on XL 2. It's shattered and cracked but great!! I ordered a Bodyguard but thinking of canceling it. Anyone got pics of anything installed? IntelliArmor, Verizon, etc.? Already seeing the cheap China brand reviews pop up on Amazon as bunk. Just hoping something is decent since the curve seems not so extreme.
Installed the Verizon protector last night and have to say it's not bad at all. I like that it has adhesive all over vs just the edges, so no rainbow effect. Took my time to align with masking tape (make sure the screen is lit when you do it) and I'm very happy with the end result. I had bubbles that wouldn't initially go away, but figured they would once the screen warmed up (and they did). The fit is also great, covers all of the viewable display.
I'd say this one is a winner (esp. for the price).

Do your edges lift? I stopped in a store yesterday and let them apply it. It does not stick around all the side edges and a few places on the bottom and top edges.

Did they use a template to apply it or guesstimate the application? I had mine arrive in the mail so I installed it myself. I don't have any lifting on the edges. You can try to warm up your screen by having it play a video for 20-30 mins then try pressing down on the edges that are coming up. Might work.

Nah, he eyeballed it. He also had to pull it and reset it a few times so I think he exceeded the capacity of the adhesive to handle it. I can take it in and let them try again or get a refund. Good to know there is a chance it can stick. I might hit it with a hair dryer today. I agree with you looks like it should stick.
I know it's not tempered glass but the LK wet install screen protector fits very well and the install is easy (for a wet install).
I generally don't like these type of screen protectors, but thought this would be a good quick option to hold me over until better ones are available.
I just received the iq shield 9h blah blah blah, from Amazon, and it came right back off. Worse than an old otterbox. I'll be returning it on Monday. It doesn't touch at all at the top and bottom, and barely in the middle.
I really liked their liquid skin on my one plus 3, will be going back to a soft screen protector.
Used tempered glass on my old n4 and n6 and never looked back. Tried to give the cover on the poetic case a chance for a day but I just didn't feel it had the same protection if I kept keys in my pocket. Might prevent surface scratches but would not re-distribute pressure along the entire screen if it ever pushed too hard against it. tempered glass protectors are on the way.
Is anyone using the ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass+ for the regular Pixel 3 and can give some feedback?

Whitestone never released a screen protector for the regular pixel 2. Not sure they will for the 3 either.

Flexible glass screen protector installed. Edges aren't perfect, but it has good coverage around sensor and camera cutouts. Plus, it's super thin and doesn't touch the surface when placed face down.
Not bad for only $5

This will be a short review which hopefully helps OP7 Pro owners wether they should buy the tempered glass protector from Ultimate Shield or not. Please take your time and read the whole review
PRODUCT PAGE
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/products/oneplus-7-pro-tempered-glass-screen-protector
This might be the time to add that Ultimate Shield did not tell me to write this, I bought the screen protector because I have used their OP5 tempered glass in the past and was satisfied with that one. In case the pictures don't show on your screen, I've attached them in a zip file down below.
What do you get?
For £11.99 (~14€ / ~15$) and free worldwide you get one screen protector, instructions, dust removal stickers (which I forgot when taking the picture), a microfiber cloth and a wet cloth.
I bought it because I wanted a tempered glass screen protector which is curved so I can protect the whole display including the curved edges.

What about applying it?
The instructions are basically useless, since we're dealing with a screen protector which sticks to the phone with the adhesive side, so no bubbles, no "vacuum" or anything like that, as long as the display has been cleaned before nothing can go wrong, just make sure that the side slim black bar is alined with the top of the phone. Oh and you should remove the preapplied screen protector before putting this one on the display. After that it is important to apply preassure on the border of the screen protector to make it stick, and this is where things get critical, at least that is what happened to me. Even though it looks like I've prefectly placed the glass on top of the display some parts of the protector simply won't stick, or at least stick for a few minutes. I have added some photos where you can see a tiny gap. Keep in mind that I have applied A LOT of pressure on those parts, more than enough. The screen protector has rounded corners and a curved edge, it covers about 99 percent of the display.
What about colours and sharpness of the display with the screen protector?
After applying the screen protector I haven't noticed any kind of weird colour shifting or rainbow effect. It still looks as sharp as before, but due to reflections the edge of the display has some minor rainbow effect. I only notice that at a specific angle and when the background is white. Oh and it doesn't seem to cut off any part of the screen.
What about the fingerprint reader?
After deleting the old fingerprints and adding new ones with the screen protector applied the fingerprint scanner works 99/100 times, it might take a split second longer than without it, but I didn't have any issues.
What about the touchscreen and gestures?
This is where I got frustrated. After using the phone with the tempered glass I instantly noticed that the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as it was before. "alright", I said to myself, "It is completely normal that it feels different now". Unfortunately this is why I would personally not buy this screen protector again. I had to apply more pressure than ususal when tapping on an icon and so on. Sometimes the touchscreen didn't register even though my finger clearly touched the glass. This was very annoying when using the keyboard, in almost every sentence at least one or two characters where simply missing because the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as before. Same story with gestures, you need a lot more pressure and when swping up or down in order to open the app drawer or notifications it sometimes works but sometimes it takes up to three tries in order to get the gesture to work. In comparison, without the tempered glass screen protector I had no issues at all.
SUMMERY
Applying it was easy but when I did it it didin't stick as good as I hoped it would. The tempered glass screen protector doesn't really change colours, which is a good thing. THe touchscreen experience was comparable with one of those older smartphones where you had to use more force and it wasn't as accurate. Overall, I can not recommend it for the price, unless you use the touchscreen with a lot of force. If you think that I didn't apply it correctly feel free to "call me out" in the comment section and tell me how you would have done it.
UPDATE
Since the tempered glass didn't stick very well anyway I went ahead and carefully removed it and moved it about 1mm downward. Unfortunately the touchscreen is still not responsive enough to use the keyboard without any issues which is why I contacted Ultimate Shield directly via Email. (still waiting for them to reply)
FINAL UPDATE
They answered and after looking at the images I send them they said that it might be faulty because according to them the black adhesive should stick much better than it did in my case. They were kind enough to give me a refund! If you bought one and had a much better experience please tag me so I can quote your opinion!
Probably cus it's not full adhesive. We need to wait for Whitestone or something like that

Probably, I think my application was good, I guess the adhesive can't do the job when it comes to the curved edges...
Too bad OP didn't release one at launch. I assume they will down the road like they did with the 6T.

Well the flap of the protective foil that was on the the glass was probably the indicator.
That and the fact that the bottom part of teh black frame was way wider than the upper part...
About 2mm of black adhesive on the buttom and 1mm on the top...
EDIT:
It wouldn't make sense to aline the the thicker black line with the thin bezel
I've sent UltimateShield an email concerning this issue.
I've ordered same protector for delivery tomorrow, getting the phone today so I'll give it a go, how is it with cases or have you not checked? I've ordered the Ringke Fusion-X too so would hope they'll work together.
Watched this video of the PureGear protector, from XDA fave TK Bay, which looks mucho pricey but seems to play nicely with, at least, official cases.

the glass doen't fully the cover the display, there's about 1 to 1.5mm between the tempered glass and the frame of the phone, I can use the transparent TPU case that came with the phone without any problems
Thank you for your review. I currently have a film on my screen now. I was thinking about purchasing a tempered glass shield for my 7 pro especially since T-Mobile has the Puregear one on sale for 10 bucks off (if I'm not mistaking) but I'm not sure.
I actually ordered the same tempered glass,but I noticed that it wasnt clear and that the black outline on the edges was the adhesive. It doesn't truly embrace the curved screen, but you can use it for the back of your phone. I glued to the back of my 7 Pro with the clear case on. Your phone will look like a beast

I'm waiting for this to show up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP5KJXV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seems like a Whitestone clone. Hoping it's decent.
Got one too. Install was super easy but like said in OP, sensitivity gets way worse. I would not recommend.
Do you know if the product is in stock?
Looks like the OP product was replaced by a newer full adhesive version:
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/co...us-7-pro-7t-pro-liquid-glass-screen-protector
The screen of my 7Pro looks like new. I never used a screen protector. Just the sandstone hardcase for the back.
