Hi, found this screen protector on HTC europe shop. Bit exepnsive but is it worth it? I mean the screen protector provided byt HTC is really good. THey offer also a 5 pack for 31 euros.
What do you think guys?
It is not expensive. Brando has one screen protector for 10 dollars. Clarivue has 2 for 9,99 US$. So, 5 for 31 euros is cheap.
Thanx for letting me know. Then I'll buy the 5 pack as soon as I can.
why would you want 5 screen protecters. you just can put one on your phone
Go cheap
I bought a set of six really cheap ones on ebay for under 5 euros delivered, and they're excellent... I've had more expensive ones in the past for other devices, and these cheap ones are just as good. Search ebay for elf protectors - the seller is german.
It's all down to how you apply them, as with all screen savers. Even if they say they're removable and washable etc, if you don't get them right first time you're stuffed.
Secret is to get the screen clean first - I use stick tape to pull off all the dust and bits, then apply the protector from one end, using a credit card or something to press down behind it whilst installing.
The screen protector that comes with HTC boxed in India is the worst! Its almost like a cello-tape on big size. Screwed my screen completely when removed. Then I had to use some shampoo for removing the sticky stains.
So carefull sticking..
Regards,
Carty..

check out this site, lots of goodies @ good price!
i had 1 screen protector (orginal) for 10 euro in france
so 5 for 31 euro is a good deal
HTC Orginal protective screen (not the free one they give you)
Just got 6 decent quality protectors for £3.00 inc carriage. Found them on ebay from a UK company - the ebay shop is E-Cell Global. They are miles better than one I got from Play.com, applied easily and I can honestly say they are invisible - i had to double check it was on it! Must be the best bargain ever.
PS: The reason I have been looking for new protectors is because I did a stupid thing with my new HTC Touch Enhanced. I put on the one supplied wth it and it looked rubbbish so i threw it away. After a few weeks use I saw a very small mark on the edge of the screen and lifted it up with my finger nail. Seems the touchpad / digitizer has a very thick plastic protector already on it fitted at the factory. Because I had lifted the edge it looked bad so I pulled the whole thing off. BAD move as the screen underneath it is very easy to damage and I got a few scratches on it before I fitted the new covers above. It now looks as good as new so I seem ot have got away with it.
Has anyone else removed this thick protector? In theory if you got a bad scratch on your screen you could pull this off and wack a new protector straight on fixing the screen for just a few quid.
Hej there,
i got some of these:
http://tinyurl.com/5gaobo
dirt-cheap (especially in euros) and really good quality, easy to apply and no scratches from the stylus at all (the protector i used before got scrachted immediately) ...
and the best thing is it ships free worldwide, really can recommend these
At BOL you can get the original HTC screenprotector. A 2-pack for only 5 euro.
Or.... a whole new digitizer for $10 Euro... I considered the prices of screen protectors and decided to skip placing one on my Touch altogether. I carry mine in the protective pouch and if or when it will get too scratched to look good, I'll just replace the touch screen.

I also decided to skip using the screen protector. I keep mine in it's case all the time (except for when I am using it). I have gone through 2 screen protectors in 6 months - They scratch way too easily if there is even the slightest bit of debris on your finger and they smudge to easily as well. Now that I am not using the screen protector, the screen is clearer, Colours are more vibrant, sensitivity to touch is better and I can write with the stylus better.

Exactly!!! Hated the protector on it too!!! Love the "naked" look and feel.
Chinese screen protectors are available for 1dollar only. im using one & its not too bad. i keep changing evry 2 months.
the screen protector supplied free with it in egypt is very bad it is massively scratched but i hesitste to remove it because it may leave marks of adhesive substance
Any place to buy this in AUS ..i also need a new one..
has anyone here used the TMOBILE "in the box" screen protector ?
mine already had a thin film protector and a spare one in the box ... been using it with thin film one since last few weeks and i am not completely sure if i should change it
any experiences / advice would be highly appreciated ...
I am trying to decide between what screen protector should i buy. As my budget is very limited, i have to take this matter very seriously. I brought a pack of 5 screen protectors a while ago for my nexus 5, for just 2.50 euros.
They did their job well, clarity of them was not the best but usable, they protected the screen from scratches, though installation of them on my screen was pain in the ass. I used only 2 from the pack of 5 because the other 3 were wasted in the installation process. Huge bubbles underneath that were impossible to push out afterwards, thus making the screen unusable.
Next time i sent the same pack again for the same price, but the seller sent me completely different screen protectors, that were impossible to see through and had no glue at all how to stick them on screen. Basically ripoff. Still have them, if someone wants a pic just ask.
So now i am using a screen protector that came with Spigen case for more than month, might be even 2 months, and the screen protector is just littered with scratches, so i need a replacement fast. As i don't want to get ripped off by another cheating seller, i decided to buy one or two glass protectors. I found this one LINK
Is that one good for a glass protector?
As far as i looked, the plastic screen protector price ranges from less than 1 euro to 5 or so euros. But glass protector price ranges from 5 euros to even up to 50 euros. So should i buy expensive plastic or cheap glass?
Also, is installation more reliable for glass protectors? I don't want to wait for 3 weeks for one screen protector, and in the end have to struggle with installation, possibly wasting the money and time.
And if anybody knows, will eBay ship faster from England to Eastern Europe, than from China to Eastern Europe?
This is what I have:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly®-Temp...328881&sr=1-3&keywords=nexus+5+tempered+glass
I bought one when it first came out, it went on very easily with no bubbles and still looks as new. I'll never use a plastic screen protector again.
Hope this helps.

I use the nillkin glass screenprotector. Ordered here
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1467811195.html?tracelog=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail
Very happy with it for 5 months now. Very smooth, no scratches whatsoever! And installation was super easy. Just make sure to clean and degrease the screen thoroughly, and no dust of course.

Wow 11$ for a screen protector. How long is shipping ?
Ok thanks for your replies , i just brought 2 of these LINK
And shipping time from Great Britain to Eastern Europe is around 10 days, at-least it says so in eBay, if anybody wants to know.
I will most likely post how it went and everything about it as soon as it comes.
If you want you can keep discussing screen protectors here.
I just canceled the purchase because it for some reason needs some kind of soap solution for installation. I don't want to mess my phone with soap and water. I will look at the links you sent and i will most likely purchase one of those or both, until i get my money back i cant yet tell anything
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgytRrIDHEw not for nexus 5 but the same company and the same screen protector.

Hi guys my brother just recently bought a Zenfone 2 ... it's just 2 weeks old and he dropped it on asphalt from about 1m.... well even if it's gorilla glass 3 it shattered really badly. He's quite busy and asked me to find him a replacement glass but i have failed to do so, here is where you guys come in - does anybody have any exp with glass replacement? I mean where to buy it from. I found a really clear guide and video how to do it - now i just need to find a place to buy the replacement. It's only the top screen - touch works just fine - no problems wish the image either. So there you have it, we're in the UK by the way if that matters (so i guess no US shops...)
Thanks guys!

I purchased an actual Asus replacement on ebay for $25 shipped, took my about 45 minutes to replace it. You will have to purchase the double sided tape to stick it back in.
A $2 tempered glass screen protector from eBay or Aliexpress is also a worthy investment if your brother does not mind a submillimeter extra layer on the display.
So I did the search for screen protectors. Pthink has hands down been the best screen protector for the v20. I had a 2 pack and just dropped the phone and cracked the scecond on. I went to amazon to order my replacements. Found out the item is no longer stocked. I contacted pthink directly. They have discontinued the product. I have been searching other retailers. No luck. The screen protector thread everyone is recommeneding p think still. Please if you know another retailer that sells them let me know. If there is another brand out there as good please let me know.
Wow. I was just searching this also!
Mine got a chip in it and my wife's has a crack. I have one left and was searching for more with the same result.
I did see these https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/183759922468
...but I don't trust that they are genuine . 4th pic shows "pthink" in the top left corner.
No idea what other brand I would buy at this point.
I've never ordered from AliExpress, but these show promise as being full coverage and full adhesion:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32813226666.html
That ebay price seems really cheap. I am so iffy on ebay anymore. I have order some parts from aliexpress in the past. I didnt even think to check there for the screen protectors. I am going to give it a shot. They look like the pthink one's did.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find a comparable replacement for these PThink screen protectors.
As far as I can tell from Amazon reviews, all other "full coverage" tempered glass screen protectors for the V20 only seem to have the adhesive along the border, so you'll likely get the halo/rainbow effect in the center of the screen. All the ones you see on eBay are probably the same, so I wouldn't trust a listing unless it actually mentions PThink in the description or shows a picture of the original white and green package of the PThink. Note that all of those protectors have a black border while the PThink is transparent throughout.
If you have to get another screen protector soon, then you might have to settle for one that doesn't cover the whole front (they usually stop right above the LG logo).
The AliExpress one looks promising; that might be the only similar one out there.

The pthink protector actually does have a black border, but is definitely full adhesion as we all know. I only had issues during installation, have to make sure to really work out all the air bubbles near the black border. I have ZERO dust where the LG logo is.
I've had mine on since December 2017, no ill touch issues or rainbow effects ever.
I'll probably go in for 3 of the AliExpress protectors. They are sold in single quantities (not a 2 pack as the Pthinks were sold).

Ah yes, I forgot that there is a smaller black bar at the top and around the LG logo (2 of my V20s have PThinks on them) while the front camera area is mainly clear, unlike all the other protectors. I only had permanent bubbles at the very tip of some of the corners and a larger bubble around the front camera, probably because I squeezed the protector into an Otterbox Defender case (with its crappy plastic screen protector removed).
Looks like the AliExpress protector is currently on sale, and you get $3 off as a first-time buyer, so that'd be a decent price.
I just placed the order for the aliexpress one. I'll post a review when it comes. Down side is shipping could be up to 25 days. If they are as good as the pthink version it is worth the wait
Just ordered 3 of them also.
Total was 23.42 using PayPal and the coupon. Not sure how that total amounted.
7.19 x3
+1.05 shipping
-3.00 coupon
+.80 PayPal fee
Should have equaled 20.42
Oh well.
Edit: PayPal amount was 20.42, which is correct.
AliExpress refund
I ordered the AliExpress screen protector and recieved a refund form Paypal today. So apparently the protectors sold out.
I ordered 3 from Amazon (PC-Mall brand). I will try to report back, but the protectors on my phones are still good, so it may be a while.
Just received the shipped notification. So now I wait for the slow boat...
I find it strange they are sold out. 2 days ago it showed 986 were available.

Yeah, that is pretty strange. You can see all the recent orders in the transaction history around the bottom half of the page, and people are still ordering it as of today.
I'm in the same situation as OP. Seems that all of the full coverage v20 screen protectors on Amazon only have adhesive along the edges of the screen. There are a couple that have it across the screen, but it's only partial coverage. I was thinking of going with the Supershieldz and adding some LOCA adhesive to the rest of the screen as a substitute.
Since I'm the only one who is having any success with AliExpress, I'll post my experience once they get here.
So I went with the random screen protector + LOCA adhesive combo. It gets the same clarity as a full adhesive screen protector, great touch response, and overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
The cons:
I wasn't sure how much LOCA to use, so I ended up using a little too much.
I have a few small bubbles (not really noticable with the screen on unless I'm on a white background). When I replace this protector, I'll be sure to take my time.
The screen protector I used did not have the front camera cut out, so it glares a bit. (Stay away from the Mr. Shield brand). The Galaxy S8 forums have a ton of tutorials on using LOCA. There was also a video on YouTube of a guy doing it. I used the "double y" technique.
I received the AliExpress order on Monday the 13th (just about 2 weeks to the east coast US). I haven't had a chance to install yet. They do look just like the Pthink protectors.
I'll try to get one installed on my wife's V20 soon and post my thoughts.
Ok all. I had a friend order from aliexpress who already had an established account. He saud sometimes the coupons cause issues. With that aside I was able to order two of the before mention screen protectors from aliexpress. They are in fact similar if not identical to the Pthink ones.
Full screen adhesive. No halo
I bought a Huawei Mate Xs about 30 days ago. Unfortunately, the manufacturer screen film protector is becoming increasingly unglued with every time I bend/fold the screens. It is unpeeled with the vertical length of the in-between area where both screens fold.
Due to the bends of screens, the thin screen film layer stretched and create a tubercle effect. From what I can see, this is an engineering fault as I was very careful with my Mate Xs.
I contacted Huawei UK and they told me to simply take off the film screen. I am doubtful of that as it wasn't said by a technician but rather by the normal customer service rep. I remember reading somewhere online that people shouldn't take off that screen film protector as it will make the phone way more vulnerable to scratches and other damage.
Please let me know if any of you know if it is okay to take off the thin film layer as Huawei wasn't very responsive to this issue.

I think he's talking of Huawei's repair centers being able to correctly repair them now if you send your device in, not something you can buy yourself.

That's correct. Was there in Düsseldorf for the repair.
It tells you at like 3 different places on the packaging and during the setup process to never remove it.
Send it for warranty repair.
I had the exact same problem , i did send it back , waiting for the new one , I’m sure it will do it again , i will sell the mate xs when i get it
I had the same problem after a week of use. I peeled it off and use it since that and it's a way better experience, so I am not gonna have it replaced for sure.
I had the exact same issue was not advised to take screen protective film off, awaiting pick up from DPD
I have the same issue.
Only problem is that I live in the US, and imported my phone from Australia.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Buy new screen protector from eBay or aliexpress and then you can peeled off the original protector because we can remove original screen protector since it's not glued.I do this in my mate xs without any problems

Hi
I ordered from protect film based in Germany, quality bendable glass's protector, much better than all cheap ones
Protectfilms24.com
Doesn't seem to be "bendable glass", but just 2 separate flat pieces that leave the bend unprotected. Not a fan, probably looks trash when unfolded too with those 2 rectangles.

Hi guys,
Update on my Mate XS
So the film did peal from the top of the screen, so got it picked up like my earlier post however it got sent to SBE repairs in the UK. Now this phone was less then a month old. It came back with deep scratches on the screen and with the hinge not feeling great. So away it went again to be returned this time with a bad dimple along the middle when unfolded again not feeling right. So 3 step in and I get a brand new handset.
All good so far however I did notice on this one it had a card in the box saying '' LEAVE PHONE IN UNFOLDED POSITIONS IF LEFT FOR LONG PERIODS'' could this be why they start to peal as they are shipped open in the box? is this the reason for the scree peel?
Anyway what are your guys thoughts?
