Oneplus 3 Screen Crack Protection - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Dear Onplus 3 Users,
Oneplus 3's screen is really fragile especially corners. You can see people's comment on Internet and my screen is cracked too and it is very expensive to repair for it costs 130usd and there is no 3rd parti replacement screen for reasonable price to make diy. Furthermore official cases are not trustable, in my case it cracked when I was using official case.
What is your best combination to protect your screen beside preventing fall downs ?
Thanks

I love orzly fusion. Thick borders

Check out rhinoshield also if you don't mind a slightly thicker case. There's a video on YouTube; search rhinoshield oneplus 3 drop test 33ft

Just care your phone. Also, if lcd is still working fine, you could diy glass replacement or bring to repair shop to get it repaired. Personaly, i've done several, harder than Samsung, but with patience it's possible to replace just the glass.

Best glass screen protector

What is the best/everyones favourite screen protectors? I head that the Nillkin H+ . Is this true? Thanks :good:
Not sure if there is a best, it's just tempered glass. The major differences would be minor features like thickness, cutout accuracy, and edge rounding.
I have tried many different glass screen protectors, from iVolver to Nilkin. I am back with Nilkin now cause I think it is the best. Especially Im very OCD with fingerprint smudges, and Nilkin does wonderful with the anti-oleophobic coating so, I am very satisfied.
There is no the best, just has the fit. i had just bought a cheap OPT glass screen from here, and cost 2.99, free shipping, and i use well.
I have ordered /cool mango/ tempered glass from Amazon
Pretty cheap just 299rs including delivery, lets see how it goes ..
Similar questions like these are being asked all the time.. And honestly they are all more or less the same. Regardless of what brand you buy and the source, they all claim to do the exact same thing, and after using several glass protectors for different devices, I can safely say this is true. What you'll want main is the thickness, try go get the thinnest possible ones. However do take note that quite often those glass that claim to be 0.2mm is in reality 0.26mm, with some being as thick as 0.3mm. You may not feel that much of a difference by the time you slap the glass on your screen though. So the next important thing to look out for is the quality of the oleophobic coating, which you will only find out how good it is by the time you use it.
My suggestion is just buy any low priced tempered glass off Aliexpress or something. They only cost a dollar or two and usually ship for free, so just go ahead and grab 2 or 3 pieces. If you want to play it safe you may buy different types from different sellers so you can try out different brands and see which one you prefer.
Same boat with cr0wnest.
I bought probably 3 screen protectors from different manufacturers ( and different prices) for Oneplus 1. And all of them either got broke/ chipped ( served there purpose of course, that is protect the screen of the phone).
Now, I just bought 2 pieces of cheaper screen protectors for my Oneplus Two just in case they get damaged.
I got two from Aliexpress which costed $1.28 , fits perfectly and happy so far. I don't think you should pay "genuine" glasses that much money. They are almost identical and do the same jobs.
They are not all the same. I've experienced uneven adhesive coating at the edges of the cheaper ones. It happened once on my LG G3 and now on the OPT. As far as Nilkin is concerned, they are the most consistent in product quality, which is why I used them if I can (I bought the cheaper one as a temporary measure until I could get the Nilkin shipped to me).
Oh, one more thing. I had polarisation issues with cheaper tempered glass protectors but not with Nilkin. This happened when I use the phone for navigation in the car, with polarised sunglasses.

Sorry to hear that perhaps you got unlucky. I've tried tons and tons of tempered glass for different devices and they are all almost identical in overall quality. Never had any issues with adhesive as far as I'm concerned, unless the protective film protecting the adhesive was damaged. You are far more likely to get a glass damaged during shipment rather than getting one that is of poor quality.
Casebase Premium Tempered Glass...
...is the best!
Anyway to remove the air bubble inside the glass other than taking it off....
The Toughest Tempered Screen Protector for OnePlus 2 Tested ! Casebase Review - Tortured !
Orzly is in my eyes the best one. It has rounded edges and the fit is perfect. I tried Nillkin but it cracked the first day in the thin area around the home button.
original oneplus protector is pretty good, but evolutive labs makes one thats quite strong. but quite expensive ($25)
The OnePlus Tempered glass is very bad its get scratches.
So far if you install it properly, Nillkin is the best. Mocolo/glass4m and Ultimate Shield is good too
I'm currently using the official tempered glass on my OnePlus Two (my daily driver), and a brandless third-party one for my OnePlus One and I must say that my experience with the official protector has been better.
I dropped my OPT from shoulder height and it landed facedown on a marble floor and it miraculously survived (no visible scratches). So based on my experience it's pretty durable.
I know it probably is accidental but the protector on my OnePlus One is starting to loosen up near the capacity buttons, and I have not even used it that much.
I'm not saying it's first-party > third-party because there are a lot of good third party protectors out there (e.g. Nillkin), but in my case the official one has been treating me better.

Tempered glass screen protector

As we all know, nowdays glass screen protector is probably best way to go.
OP will sell their official protector as they did for OP5 (already on the site). In this case you would expect top quality accesories and we all know how it went with 5.
For me it was no go with protector for ~20 euro that cuts off ~1mm on each screen side.
Here is my question, how it will go this time? how do you think? Maybe someone can provide some insight from their own sources?
As for now, from what i managed to find: it will cut less screen or even nothing (hope).
Later on, please also post your alternatives from 3rd party.
I actually think they might have an easier time with them, they can just produce a protector that covers the whole front of the phone now (No home button/FP Reader) which should reduce any stress fracture areas and make it easier to produce. Due to the change it might be some time before we see an official one.
Judging by the collection of crappy protectors produced for the OP5, hopefully the 5T won't have protectors that only adhere round the edges.
Honestly, I've been quite disappointed by the OP own's glass screen protectors.
After trying a few of the aftermarket ones (Ozry and co.), with varying mileage, I finally went nake.
Still curious to see how that's going to work on 5T.
W!
I dont need the curve screen. Give me the flat one Oneplus! Tempere glass on OP5 is a nightmare.

Same here. I still have to find a TGSP that doesn't have the rainbow effect and that covert the whole front of my OP5.
Have tried multiple ones from eBay and all of them have the stubborn rainbow in the center of the screen.
I officially hate those curved displays.
When I remember my first OPO, and than my OP2... ah, nostalgia.
I honestly love my oneplus branded tempered glass on my OP3 and OP5. The "it blocks pixels" thing is WAY overblown. Yes, you'll lose 1-2 rows of pixels, but it doesn't affect useability at all. They cover the whole screen, use adhesive on the entire protector, no halo effect, and if you use a oneplus branded case, the seam between the protector and case is so tight you can't even tell the phone is in a case.
10/10 would recommend to anyone without hesitation. I've tried a lot of the aftermarket stuff and it's all trash.
I have ordered the op5t glass however I'm sticking to the plastic protection that comes with device
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/accessories/oneplus-5t-official-tempered-glass-t3709332
Our friend here got it before me. Good to know tho, look 4:03. Mine is at home aleady, after weekend I will write mine opinion.
Anyone have experience with these people and what they offer :
https://www.moutfitters.com/
This morning, I applied my OnePlus branded tempered glass screen protector. I really like it, although there is one spot next to the volume rocker that will not stick down, causing a small halo effect in that spot. I can only see it when the screen is off, so I'm not going to worry about it. This screen protector feels very nice, especially compared to the plastic one that comes on the phone. I recommend that anyone looking for a quality screen protector, buy the one from OnePlus.
I bought the op glass screen protector and the sandstone case when I ordered the 5t. I will keep the factory applied screen protector as long as possible, but its nice to have a back-up. I do think it is cool that the supplied case acts as a guide for installing the op glass preotector.
I too bought the sandstone case/tempered glass protector combo and must say the fit and finish is superb. The screen protector went on perfect thanks to the supplied case acting as a guide and it is 100% bubble free. With the screen protector in place the sandstone case mates perfectly and you can tell they were designed to be used in conjunction with each other. The case looks good and gives the phone a nice grip but I highly doubt it offers any thing besides scratch protection. I will be switching to a more protective case as soon as a good one is available.
From my Google Pixel and Oneplus 3 experience, the official case and screen protector was the best. It's a little bit high on price but it will protect your device longer lasting and like the charm. So, this time for my upcoming OnePlus 5T, I'm going to buy 3D tempered glass screen protector.

Display damages, glass crackes when Mi6 falls down?

Hello,
i thinking of buy a Mi6, but now i read that the phone has no gorilla glass and some people shows youtube videos like an unprotected phone fall from a chair (about 50cm) and the glass of the frontside crackes. Is it really so easy to break the glass?
I would use it like all of my phones with a slim silikon case and a screen protector film.
Greetings Kullino

Thanks, that good.
But what about this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1yJ90IBI5M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIfRJdFBnUY
Would a normal case like this: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/CAFE...8c1d-4d03-a1ca-9090326c1643&priceBeautifyAB=0
Enough for protection?
I have been using Mi 6 for about 5 month and I still have the case that was in the box with the phone, it is great but I also recommend a glass screen protector even though It looks bad and doesn't stick on the border of the phone. I have dropped the phone a couple of time already and my screen protector is cracked all over, without it think the screen would be gone
No amount of protection will prevent screen from cracking on any phone after an unlucky fall. There are no big differences across modern phones regarding that. They're all fragile enough to crack after falling on the floor.
Keep in mind that the MI6 is significantly heavier than the other flagships.
I bought this case from gearbest and looks really solid. https://gearbest.app.link/F0VWCY9eoJ
It's a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it.
The bigger problem from this case is the USB port cover.
Ruins the original phone look, but looks really nice in its own way.
I have the black version.
i have this. Best case ever. Search on aliexpress.

This case is really great.

I bought a 3 dollars armor case with a stand from aliexpress, its real good, my phone already fell a number of times, some real bad, but no damage or crack. No screen protector either because they are a scam but it seems people think they are miraculous

Help! Cracked glass on my 7 day old phone :(

So I cracked my front glass under the bottom speaker exactly on the 8th day of owning my new pixel 2 xl :crying:
Thought about selling it as is but I would lose so much money also a screen replacement will set me back at least $200 without labor (Plus it's not available in my country)
I tried to look for a full coverage tempered glass screen protector that would cover this part (in black) but all the tempered glass screen protectors I could find do not cover the glass under the speaker
Last option I found was applying a Dbrand skin on the phone including the front glass that would cover that crack up but I have a few questions:
1. Would the Dbrand skin stick to the cracked part (there small missing pieces of glass that have fallen out)
2. Would removing the Dbrand front glass skin remove more glass from my phone
3. I thought about applying some transparent nail polish to the cracked part so it would hold the glass together so when I take off the skin the glass doesn't come out, good idea or stupid?
4. Should I apply the front Dbrand skin on top of a tempered glass screen protector (I read that it works) or should I apply it directly on the screen better?
I've attached 2 pictures of the cracked part so you can take a look
I really would appreciate all the help I can get as I am currently heartbroken for my new phone

If you do not find a practical Dbrand solution, you could use a tiny pinpoint application of clear resin on the cracks to even things out.
Sad for this to happen.....

I think a Dbrand skin would probably be best specially that it will cover up the crack completely for protection and so I don't see it and weep every time I pickup my phone
However covering the crack with Glue (I thought about transparent nail polish) is a good idea so when the skin comes off it doesn't take any more glass with it, do you have any ideas what I can use on the crack before applying the Dbrand skin?
UV loca glue...

What kind of resin should I use? I say this because I bought my Pixel 2 XL used for $300 and it has almost the same crack as the OP's pixel, but just on a much larger scale.
Here's the photo.
Could anyone give some advice on how to fill that patch up, as I don't really think that any kind of screen protector nor skin would ever help! Thanks a lot!
P.S.: the crack doesn't come up even a bit to the screen, so the POLED is safe and sound under the glass, but still, I hate that dust and water can get in so easily.
Plus, I had my Pixel for 3 months now, and the crack didn't make shards of glass fall out and the phone works flawlessly, apart from the Lost IP67 water & dust resistant rating.

Clear jeweler's resin like this should work good: https://www.amazon.com/Environmental-Technology-02004-EnviroTex-Jewelry/dp/B007PZW60U The kind that mixes 2 clear liquids- resin and catalyst - will cure as hard as stone and stay clear.

In my case I intend to cover up the crack with a Dbrand skin on the glass, my worry is that the glass will come out when I take the skin off so I just wanted something to hold it together, if this your case too then I suggest you try what I will in couple of days: Sugru
I tweeted my problem to ifixit and they were kind enough to reply with the suggestion to use sugru to hold the glass together : https://twitter.com/Sab3elbromba/status/1028976749873430528
When I did a little googling I found this: https://lifehacker.com/patch-your-broken-smartphone-screen-with-sugru-1440578257
It's not the prettiest thing in the world but I don't care as I will cover it up with a Dbrand skin anyways
I hope that was helpful and sorry for what happened

Use a CAR WINDSHIELD REPAIR KIT. It should be able to make that chip nearly invisible, and will also hold the glass together so it doesn't get any worse.
if you bought it with a credit card, it probably has accidental damage protection for the first 30 or 90 days

How about LOCA Glue? (LOCA stands for liquid optically clear adhesive)
It is used by most manufacturerers for their smartphones screens, to attach the glass to the lower OLED stratum specifically because it's completely invisible as the name implies.
I fear that the car windshield repair kit is going to disrupt the screen and penetrate too deep with the pressure applied to fill cracks. How do you feel about it?
Could you give me some pieces of advice for using it the best way? Thanks a lot for the support! @Sab3elbromba @96carboard
Yeah cracked the top of mine yesterday. Stubborn me wasn't using a case. I'm gonna save up and just get it replaced. Was thinking about getting a Pixel 3 this year...guess not.
Not saying this is the right thing to do or that it will 100% work but, it for for sure a possibility.
1. Burn in the screen and RMA claiming a screen burn in.
2. Make something look defective and RMA it
3. Replace the screen yourself
Not suggesting any of these just listing options.

I'm really disappointed in the fragility of the glass around the speaker grilles. My cousin dropped his Pixel 2 XL with a Speck Presidio Grip case on, landing back first, and the glass around the top speaker cracked and spread a bit to the screen; even a chunk of glass fell out. From drop tests online, this area appears to break very easily. Why can't Samsung make Pixels? When comparing the Note 8 and Pixel 2 XL side by side, the screen on the 2 XL feels hollow and less reinforced. Google really should do what Motorola used to and offer one free replacement for accidental breakage.

Question Protecting Oneplus 9 pro

Hi guys and sorry for my short English, nobody is perfect, I am French...
I look forward to buy the 9 pro but I would like to protect it from the beginning with a flip cover and also a screen protection. So when and if you know good protection tools for the one+ 9 pro thanks to share your advices here.
Welcome to XDA! Once sales start, then cases and screen protectors will be posted in an Accessories section.
Screen protection is on from the factory.

yes I hear about that but I think that it is only a plastic film unuseful in case the phone falls on the screen and I thought that a tempered glass or a polymer protection would be quite better; no !?
cases are being sold for some time, got 9 and 9Pro transparent case on the way in case I will buy the phone Factory foil is enough for me, on each phone. Still in good shape on 8Pro. I think they're thinnest, most comfy and don't break edge gestures or fingerprint like those expensive foils and glasses. Worthless investment if you ask me, by the time it scratches you can have a new model already..

thx for your answer. The protection given with the phone is it just a film or is solid, I mean in case of falling does it protect from the ground impact and avoid the screen to break or does it only protect from scratches?

Scratches. If you're that worried, you need a huge rigid case or flip case, as glass cover will cover you only to some extent (a bit extra protection, the few extra cases where you'll be breaking the glass cover only). People who claim were saved by glass cover only usually cannot prove the glass would break without it.. and that is why the cover business works well. I prefer comfort, and light weight (i count every gram), and out of my dozens phones in decades, i fatally dropped NONE so i RISK it happily, if my next 1400$ flagship will break one day after buying, i can't care less, because i saved so much money not buying expensive screen protection in the past. But that's my philosophy.. It's not my recommendation. My enemy is scratches from keys and pockets. I just need a foil. Thanks Oneplus and Samsung for providing it for free
Buy a case Buy insurance!
Glass backs break easily, thanks to an insurance company my Oneplus 9 pro will only cost about $100.
My OP 8Pro was totaled because of a cracked back panel.
As the one above me said, spend some bucks and buy insurance. Pair that with a sandstone case and the pre-applied protector, and you will be good for at least a year.
It would be shame to cover that gorgeous screen with some clunky tempered glass protector.
I just bought a Caseology Parallex off Amazon. It is a nice case. I had it on other phones.

I looked at the Caseology Parallex on Amazon and might buy that. But I think I'll wait another week or two and see what else is available. It comes with a clear TPU case, so I'll just use that if I don't have a permanent one yet.
I don't really care for screen protectors because they ruin the impressive touchscreen experience for me. I read there's a factory applied screen protector, so I'll see how that works. I will probably get a protective film (or glass?) for the camera because my current one got a little scuffed up in the 2 years I've had it. Does anyone else use a protector for the camera?

I also wonder. I plan to create a plastic square that will protect outside the case hole, because I am afraid that a glass or tpu protection might decrease photo quality

The ones I was looking at on Amazon have cutouts for the camera, just like the cutouts for camera or speaker on a regular screen protector. So there's no glass over the camera itself, but the raised area around the camera is protected.

I've been using Gadgetshieldz screen protector for my One Plus 9 Pro for more than 5 months now, it does provide good protection against scratches but also protects the display from edge-to-edge.
