Which screen protector to get?

I'm looking for a new screen protector for my 3T. Here's my requirements:
Tempered glass
Doesn't let dust get under it over time
Doesn't keep me from seeing pixels along the edges (rules out OnePlus 3/3T Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector; see https://youtu.be/rVtWOmDrVGU?t=119)
Covers up the entire display area (rules out OnePlus 3/3T Tempered Glass Screen Protector; see my attached photo)
Works with at least one of the big protective cases like Otterbox Case for OnePlus 3/3T, Spigen Neo Hybrid OnePlus 3 Case / OnePlus 3T Case with Flexible Inner Protection and Reinforced Hard Bumper Frame for OnePlus 3 2016 - Gunmetal, or OnePlus 3T / OnePlus 3 Case, TUDIA Slim-Fit HEAVY DUTY [MERGE] EXTREME Protection / Rugged but Slim Dual Layer Case for OnePlus 3T, OnePlus 3 (Matte Black)
Are there any screen protectors that meet all of these criteria?

the unicorn..gl

Doesn't exist.. that I've seen.

Sigh... Why did OnePlus have to curve the screen? :crying:

Yeah,there's no good tempered glass protector. The only option is a plastic protector.

Yeah, it's looking that way. I really don't want to go that route because plastic has next to no impact protection.

It comes off eventually,you get the rainbow effect and dust eventually gets underneath it as it only sticks to the edges.

I bought a couple of cheap ones off eBay that go around the home button and speaker. Don't even notice it's on most of the time. I get a little oil spill type effect but that's only when the screens off and not noticeable unless I look for it. Think the key is getting it really stuck down. When I first put it on I ended up with tobacco underneath it from my pocket but carefully took it off and reapplied it and so far it's been fine. Had it on about 2 months maybe 6 weeks and it's been great

I'm having the same issue as you. I'm not sure which tempered glass screen protector to use..
After a little search, it seems like the issue with the official curved screen protector from OnePlus has been fixed. I'm gonna bite the bullet and just go for that once, since it's "official". Will report back with images.

Where'd you see that? I'm under the impression that they said they were going to fix it, but all they ended up doing was adding a disclaimer about the problem to the description page.

Hey everyone,
I bought the curved tempered glass and it was so so so bad I removed it 1 minute after using it.
When you put your finger on the fingerprint sensor, I get the feeling that i'm putting my finger into a hole.
The feeling I get when I look at the screen, its the same as if my phone was outside a window...
It was expensive and I'm not using it. Tried to refund it and the support didnt allowed it.
The curved tempered glass does protect the whole phone into a point that it kills the whole feeling you get when
the phone is naked.
Please do not buy it!
I bought recently the normal tempered glass but I still didnt received it.
When it arrives I'll give some news.

I received these today and applied the first one perfectly. I can't tell there is anything on the screen. They do not attract smudges anymore than the phone's glass which is good.
I am more so trying to protect against micro scratches so do not necessarily need the better protection of glass.

Using the orzly v2 glass and its cool. Yes you can see the dot matrix in direct sunlight, yes you get random rainbow in in hot/humid places. But overall its usually clear and perfect. If you use a case it just blends in and although the extra height is daunting on the home button at first, after a month I can say I can't even tell anymore, not obtrusive at all.

Experience with official tempered glass protector
So just to share my experience with the official curved tempered glass protector from oneplus after using it for some weeks.
I'm using it with the Otterbox case and it does work well together overall. It did happen very rarely that an edge was pushed off by the case when the phone was in my pocket. The visibility of the edges of the screen is impaired, but not to the point that I find it disturbing in every day usage.
So my point is, overall this combination works well and provides good protection while adding reasonable bulk. I think it's a very solid choice as of now.

Yup, quite happy with that. But I'm not 100% persuaded that's actually tempered glass. I managed to get it chipped just by holding it in my pocket with some coins (I assume, as I never dropped it). Nothing major, but never happened with any other glass screen protector before. So, guess that's still going to provide some level of protection but wouldn't trust it too much for major protection.
Apart from that, that's ok for the price.
IMHO

It seems to have the same problem as the official OnePlus full-coverage protector where you lose some edge pixels, according to the 3-star review on the white model.

I'm on my 2nd Orzly V2 now and it's not too bad. I have limited rainbow affect which is only visible under fluorescent lights and the touch sensitivity is generally OK. It's not great by any means but it's adequate, will protect the screen and is the best out of a poor lot.

Good screen protectors?

Has anyone found any good tempered glass/film protectors for your phone?
I got one with my case but it has bubbles in edges.
Lähetetty minun Lenovo P2a42 laitteesta Tapatalkilla

i am using Screen protector ( not glass) which came within the BOX i purchased..
it also got so many bubbles when applied, i had to use my nails to swipe strongly till the bubbles disappeared
as the Glass is 2.5D curved, i dont think Tempered glasses fit correctly !!
But i feel, Tempered glasses made for OnePlus3 would Fit with some compromises.. !!
but i cant risk buying a costly Glass and try on my P2 !!
-- Hope people share their ideas here

I did not get protector with my box :/ but i would really want some sort of protection.
I found this site: https://wonderfulengineering.com/10-best-lenovo-p2-screen-protectors/amp/
but first in the list costs too much to deliver and skinomi has stopped making protector for our model.
Cant find any rating or comments for those in list.
Here is one i found also with no reviews:

I read a few people complaining that glass protector doesn't fit properly because of the screens curved edges . i just use a normal plastic protector cut to fit instead

I have applied armor liquid. I can't say if it works good but it seems to be the best solution for the curved glass

That sounds interesting. I look it up.
I only need something to shield from possible cracks. Rather cheap shield than cracked screen.
I changed screen 3 times to my last phone and any kind of shield is worth it.
Changing only glass of screen is really pain compared to changing whole display and whole display is usually not cheap.

hi, can you post some photos of your Phone ??

Not the best as only had a 735 lumia to hand.

Ultimate shield (similar to zagg) now available on Amazon UK. Lists as full coverage front and back. Ordered so will advise when it arrives in about a week

I think note 5's would work well and Samsung galaxy j7 2016 yet to try but I am going to

Ultimate Shield arrived and is a perfect fit. Comes with front, rear and side. I only used the front screen and am very pleased. Have used Ultimate before and the quality is as always excellent none of the fancy packaging of zagg or skinomi but the product is spot on

I tried 2 different 9H glass protectors from China. Cheap ones.. Both fit good but have not glued properly at the edges - so the dust came it. I think that it was because crappy quality of those products.
On P1 I used Nillkin glass which was perfect but sadly Nillkin does not make glass for P2. I got in touch with them and they said that P2 is not so popular in China market so they are not going to make it ( at this moment )
Currently I use product of polish company:
https://folie-ochronne.3mk.pl/pl/c/P2-P2a42/1271/1
Their MATTE 3H protector. Of course it is not as hard as glass but glued perfectly well and matte finish is really great for me.
When my current protector wears out I will try their 7H glass

Hi, got a cheap eBay glass screen protector. It covers viewable screen. About +0.5mm each side. Glues almost perfectly to edge all around but obviously is smaller than phones screen. Overall very good for price. Says is 9h hardness. Appears to have some level of oleophobic coating and has perfect finger detection so far. Seller was UK based. leestafordpink. Product came with some wipes. Was branded premium tempered glass screen protector, with picture of a hammer hitting a screen. Prob as good as we can hope for now and at £3.75. Can't complain, arrived in 2 days.

So I bought the j7 2016 screen protector and it fits perfectly exposing home button and sensors and led notification
Only problem is that it is 2 millimeters wider than it should edges don't wrap around so you are left with a gap gonna try more screen protectors in the future
Another thing those godamn corners they leave bubbles underneath the protector it's annoying defenetly manufacturing issue
Nothing is perfect I guess anyway anyone have a solution for those

Is this a glass screen protector? Any chance you could post a picture? I'm using a cheap Chinese glass one which is pretty good, but a full coverage glass would be better! Cheers

Not a glass protector. I never use glass. Military grade tpu self healing like zagg skinomi or ultimate are all I use. Conform to curved screens, bubble free and crystal clear wet application never had a broken screen. Fit is as said about 1mm all round on the edge difference between screen size and protector size cutouts perfect. Don't have a camera that would show the detail as once applied its essentially invisible

i have a glass one and confirm they dont fit perfect....it sticks all the way around apart from the bottom either side of the home button

There are 2 promos at Aliexpress for screen protectors:
https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs...92.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.264.PYHwHp
https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/5pcs...92.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.267.PYHwHp
I do not know the quality but they are really cheap ( price is for 5pcs package)

What screen protector doesn't suck?

These new tempered glass protectors with the black surround adhesive are terrible. Poor touch sensitivity and a weird hollow feel/sound because they don't actually sit flat on the screen. Are there any non-adhesive tempered glass protectors that are worth looking into? Amazon reviews are spotty. for every brand and every type of protector for the G8.

Tried this 32nd Extra Armoured Tempered Glass Screen Protector which is equivalent to the GPEL and seems to be alright but the adhesive isn't great I managed to move the screen protector out of position by a little force. Probably may to consider ones with full adhesive...

Gonna try after I run through my 2 gpels lol just put one on should be good unless I drop it awkwardly then it's on to the 2nd one

Using the LK film protector I linked earlier. Goes on like the ringke film, using multiple steps and doing 1/2 at a time. Feel is good. A little stickier than a tempered glass protector, but it's solid on the screen. No air gap. I think it might be interfering with the crystal sound display a bit. Volume seems a little lower now.

I have several of the Ringke stocked up, they have a great installation process. I personally enjoy the film (dry application) protectors more than glass as they have a much slimmer profile. The downside is that they offer little impact protection and can be imprinted, but they're cheap enough that I just keep a few around and change them as needed.

This was the only full-adhesive glass protector I could find. DON'T buy it! I left pics in my Amazon review showing why: Our screen glass curves before the pixels end. The only way to have a flat piece of glass stick to the whole screen is to cut it smaller than the visible screen edges. This one hangs off the sides by 3mm, rendering the edges useless.
[2 Pack] LG G8 ThinQ Screen... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZZ6YGY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I've just ordered the only one I could find that claims to be smaller than the screen area, but the description still makes it a bit tough to know what to expect.
https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Protector-Coverage-Tempered-Adhesive/dp/B07QJ41M2H
Update: DON'T BUY THESE. This one is even worse, as it's way too tall. Again, the scroll bars don't work because you can't touch them. Total trash.
Unfortunately, unless they make one with genuinely curved glass that follows the screen, there won't be a useful full-adhesive protector for our phone. It looks like every glass protector is flat. They advertise rounded edges, but are still flat glass. If you don't believe me, please look at the pictures I've left in the Amazon reviews. These should never have been made.

Tempered glass is used to protect the screen from scratches and also Protect direct damage of the screen. any branded Tempered Glass is famous with their Hard surface and smooth working. I always prefer Casper Tempered Glass and Whitestone dome Glass.

Add this one to the list of screen protectors that don't work. It won't lay flat on the sides. Long air gaps up/down both sides.
Here's the item description on Amazon. I can't post links yet.

Full Body Skin
You may want to think about giving the Skinomi Full Body Skin a try. I wouldn't say that it feels as smooth as a glass protector, but it does wonders at protecting the back of the phone. It also keeps it from slipping off of surfaces and easier to hold! Very nice for those times when you don't want to wear a case. The back protector doesn't interfere with any cases, and the front protector covers the entire screen of the device. Skinomi's warranty is pretty legit too.
I've used it on my Nexus 4, v30 and now the G8.

I'm using an AILUN screen protector with a SPIGEN TOUGH ARMOUR case and they fit and work perfectly together. Got them both off EBay.

I was wondering if screen protectors might dull the sound, since the screen itself is a speaker.

I just placed the wet install IQ Shield on my new G8. I haven't even turned it on yet as I'm in a contract on a stupid Note 9,but I like them on my last 4 devices.

Luibor tempered glass screen protector

Anyone has any experience with this screen protector? It looks good, and inexpensive, with lots of good rating.
But, it's too good to be true. And those ratings also for their old products I think.
If I cannot find better alternative, I might jump into this. On my Pixel 2 XL, I am using tempered glass from Whitestone dome. It is good, but expensive, and they don't have Pixel 5.
https://www.amazon.com/Luibor-Googl...2878597&sprefix=luibor+pi,aps,226&sr=8-7&th=1

Yeah, Whitestone is honestly the best screen protector I've ever used. Looking for a replacement or hoping they make it at some point. Looks like they completely avoided making a pixel 4 protector.
I'll check out that protector you linked to, but it has 300+ reviews from weeks ago when no one has a pixel 5 yet. So who knows...

I ended up with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08J7MDDPV/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It doesn't include installation kit, so you need to line up the screen protector carefully. I think this is the same as Luibor as well. Installation is straight forward, but it can be difficult without steady hand. There were bubbles which I can squished out, luckily. Although, I threw away 1 screen protector because of dust problem. The other two were successfully installed on mine and my wife's P5. Responsiveness is good, no problem. But, I am not that happy because mine is a bit miss-aligned. Oh well, still looks good and I can live with it. I will replace with other if it is broken, preferably one with installation kit.

What about the Sound quality with a screenprotector? I read a lot That on LG phones (which have under screen speaker for 2 years) it changes the Sound quality and makes it worser if a screenprotector is aplied
Btw. Dont use those camera protector glases until they make One That has a cutout for the mic.

Sound quality is OK-ish. Pixel 5 is not good, compared to my 2XL. Stereo is non-existent. But, I have to live with it, sadly.
I don't understand about the camera protector glasses related to mic. Why is that?

ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Anti-Glare Screen Protector for Google Pixel 5 (2020) (Case Friendly) Anti-Bubble Matte Film. My favorite.

I ordered both the Luibor and the Qitayo versions... and the dimensions are exactly the same, 100%
I installed the Qitayo, and 'tested' the Luibor too... just pressing my fingers a lot of times on the glass and you'll see fingerprints quite easily... so the oleophobic coating, if it's there at all, isn't great.
But protection is what counts for me, and considering they're dirt cheap I'll take it.
Like 8 months ago I had a tempered glass from Amfilm on my Oneplus 7 Pro, a curved one with full adhesive, yes they do exist, and that one had awesome oleophobic coating, the glass felt really smooth and almost no fingerprints whatsoever.
But it's not available for the Pixel 5.

How much space is there around the case friendly version? Do you have a case on it? I'd like a film protector that blends in more than the glass I have on there that doesn't touch the black so leaves a big gap and is too visible for my liking.

im on my second attempt at tempered glass (latest one is the Spigen)
Both attempts have resulted in the proximity sensor being activated on calls - resulting in the screen going black when call is accepted (even if the phone is on my desk). It also means i cant access phone options during calls.
Is it just me having these issues with tempered glass ???

Question Just installed a glass screen protector and FPR won't recognize

I did the steps people have said to do like increase touch sensitivity and re add all the fingers I would use but it still won't work. I don't know who made this protector since I got it off a marketplace site and when I met with the person all he gave me was the screen protector. It was only $5 i got it for so no big deal if it's ****.
Other than that it feels good and everything else works fine.

There are some other threads on here about glass screen protectors. The majority don't work with FP, but there are some that do. Check those threads for info.

In general you need to go for the UV glued type..... All the ones with just glue on the edges will leave an air gap between screen and glass, this heavily impedes with FP functionality.....

Is the brand on Google's approved list?

The air gap has nothing to do with it, the Pixel 6 with its perfectly flat screen has the same problems, my wifes Spigen one has rendered her FPS useless.

I'm not disputing that, i was just clarifying the Pixel 6 suffers the same problem even with a flat screen.
Never had a problem with a 1+ phone using a glass protector over the FPS even with the cheapest crap i could find so as far as i am concerned all the reasons Google are coming out with are absolute cobblers.

So should I just take this thing off or wait for a software update from Google?

I for myself have installed a TPU screen protector presently, awaiting delivery of a UV glass protector as I like those more
I'd hope Google improves the behaviour of the FPS, in how far however I don't know.....

I am currently using the below TPU screen protector and could not be happier with it. My fingerprint scanner works nearly every single time and I have not had an issue. Once the screen protector has been properly applied (I admit, I screwed it up the first time) I cannot even tell that it is on my screen visibly or by touch.
Having said that, I am a little concerned that a TPU screen protector is not as good in general as a glass one. I have not had an issue yet, but I also have not had an accidental drop or anything.
I will also say that I have registered each of my thumbs twice. I will get an occasional "longer" read, and by longer, maybe a half a second longer. However, I have noticed that when that happens, my thumb is slightly out of the read circle. When my thumb is dead center, it reads it every time really quickly.
I am not all that excited about a UV glass protector as I have read horror stories of discoloration and some users not being able to get them off.
Supposedly Google has released their approved screen protectors list. I am not about to spend 50 bucks on a Zagg. The one for Panzer was more reasonable, but it disappeared off their website. The Otterbox is another TPU and I like the one I have:
Amazon.com

I might just take this off and use nothing. I didn't use a protector for my s7 edge or s10+ and didn't get a single scratch. I only got it because I wanted to preserve the oilyaphobic coating. This thing only cost me $5 in the end

Did peeps make sure to use the increased screen sensitivity setting for use with screen protectors?

yes, it makes zero difference.

Typically with curved screens, you need a full-screen adhesive in order for the FPR to work after installation. Either that, or one with edge adhesive with an area over the reader that also sticks to the screen, but I personally think those are kinda ugly. For the regular P6, my girlfriend ordered a brand called "TOCOL" for a glass protector, which is working great all around.
If/when Whitestone Dome releases one for the P6P, that will be the only really good option. It's either that, or buy an edge adhesive style one, buy LOCA glue and a UV lamp, and DYI it. Only way you're going to have glass and a working FPR.
I'm using a TPU protector and a case. TPU has come a long way tbh, the dry install ones I got feel like a naked screen and give me some piece of mind in regard to small scratches. The case does the rest as far as drop protection. Victus Glass is pretty good for shatter resistance generally, but crap for scratches.
OP, I would remove that one if you want to use the Fingerprint Reader. There isn't a software update that's going to solve that problem unfortunately. I'd just use a decent TPU for now and if you really want glass after you try it still pray for Whitestone Dome. There's another thread on here dedicated to working protectors, I'd check that out and pick one.
Pixel 6 Pro screen protector
Hi all, I have a few questions around tempered glass screen protectors for curved screens like the Pixel 6 Pro, I was wondering if people had any answers to: Are there any known brands that do good quality curved tempered glass screen...

I did the steps people have said to do like increase touch sensitivity and re add all the fingers I would use but it still won't work. I don't know who made this protector since I got it off a marketplace site and when I met with the person all he gave me was the screen protector. It was only $5 i got it for so no big deal if it's ****.
Other than that it feels good and everything else works fine.

If you prefer the 9H glass protectors, you'll have to find a glass protector that is "Google certified" to work with fingerprint reader.
These are glued to the screen to make 100% positive contact with the glass protector.
I'm guessing you have a 9H glass protector like mine that has a very small air gap between the screen and the protector. Even with the enhanced fingerprint reader setting, my fingerprint reader doesn't pick up anything.
The TPU flexible protectors supposedly work well, but I like the 9H glass protectors.
The Google Certified 9H glass protectors that I've found are between $15 - $39 per protector, and many of them are "out of stock" at the moment.

The air gap has nothing to do with it, the Pixel 6 with its perfectly flat screen has the same problems, my wifes Spigen one has rendered her FPS useless.

Yeah it's only the Pro model that has curved screens and requires UV glue protectors, which there is currently none available until Whitestone Dome releases. I managed to get this and it works perfectly but it's already out of stock [3 Pack]Google Pixel 6 Pro Screen Protector,Akcoo Liquid UV Tempered Glass [Full Screen Adhesive][Edge to edge coverage][Compatible with fingerprint sensor] for Pixel 6 Pro 6.7 inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KC72DW...abc_YW4QX456AX8GJ33BV928?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Have you tried to delete the finger print and add a new one?
