Which screen protector to buy, please help - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

I have tried many but find none to be perfect at edges.
Either bubbles are formed at edges or the EDGES OF THE GLASS are too broad covering more area than bezels.
I hope I am making myself clear.
Can someone please help?

Anyone please?

Depends, if you want a glass protector? Then go with the original OnePlus protector,

These links give you some idea. Not sure which protector(s) you've tried.

I want anything that protects screen from fall and related trauma. Official glass is no longer available and also it is too expensive. Do you know any cheaper alternatives?
Also can you share a link for that silicone one?
Does it protect from trauma also or only scratches?
Thanks for replying

Of the ones I've tried, other than the official oneplus ones, these are the best. The edges get some bubbles but not super bad and there's no grit/rainbow effect.

This is the company site;

Get an Amazon India Account, they have them on Amazon India, hopefully you are in a location for free shipping, or not to expensive.
I use this same exact screen protector!

Camera lens protector, I never thought about that one, but I baby my toys and take really good care of them.

dbrand Glass

Will any of you be buying it? (Free shipping + $10 off until Oct 1st)
I know I'm tempted.
http://dbrand.glass/
I would instead go with their front skin and the protector which comes with it.. It's really decent.
After using Nillkin tempered glass and seeing it's quality ... No $30..$50 protector for me sir! $10 is the most I'll be willing to shell out
But yeah, those who are really quality conscious should grab the dbrand glass.. After all, they truly are the most precise fit on earth!

Too expensive IMO.

I never liked the look of the front skin, I feel having a uniform look on the front is most aesthetically pleasing.
I think I'm going to go for it.
I really don't get it why there has to be cutouts for camera and sensors. Is it really necessary?
It makes the glass feels cheap and looks like $5 ones on AliExpress and eBay :/
I probably won't be getting one, but you've got to love dbrand's product page. They almost convinced me I should spend that money I don't have. If any of you have doubts about glass screen protectors, they are actually quite great. (Provided they use Gorilla Glass, most companies cheap out on the glass and you end up with an expensive piece of crap on your phone.)

I'm pretty sure the proximity sensor needs the cutout, but not sure about the camera.

No it doesn't. Please take a look at Spigen or MimeUSA glass series.
I ordered one to have a deeper look on it.
30 CAD are ~21 €
That's worth a try! :angel:
I hope that the oleophobic coating is better than others.
just bought with discounted carbon fiber skin
Ordered a few minutes ago !

This is the only thing keeping me from jumping on it right now. It just looks way too noticeable on that one shot they have of it. Will have to wait for review photos.
Nillkin and Spigen Tempered Glass are great. Once you use a glass protector nothing else comes close.
I look forward to seeing how the dbrand gorilla glass works out, and how it feels.
Their skins are great, I'm sure the glass will be just as well done.
I use the iLoome and LOVE it, no cutouts other than the earphone
too expensive, using 3$ cheap chinese glass now, cascaded edge and smooth
'It' arrived today
Will put it on and take pictures afterwards.
I just received my dbrand glass and it's amazing !
Again a very good quality product from dbrand !
And it's funny to see the silicone adhesion working :laugh:
Just a bad surprise when I open my letter box, french customs (I suppose...) made a "good" job
Hopefully dbrand's package does the job ! :good:
(see the photos)
I installed it yesterday and it was kinda tricky. Wasn't my first tempered glass protector but I wanted it to fit perfectly and that's why it was that tricky
I'll try to take good pictures with another N5 to show you the quality of the product.
It's very thin, has rounded edges and has a smooth feel. I hope that the coating lasts longer than 4 weeks as the products of most competitioners do.
But I expect and hope for a longer no fingerprint effect.
Ah, and the cutouts are really no problem. Because the dbrand glass is so thin, you can hardly recognize the cutouts if you do not want to...
So long!

they all look good in starting. How does it perform after 1 week is what I am concerned about.
It's like the Mocolo. Maybe with a better glass.
The main problem of that, is that the edge are not thin, it can't touch the glass of the phone and break easily.
Finally something good for One Plus X, I've been searching for screen protector like this for very long. Thanks for sharing @pawankonjarla
It's only on amazon india?

Does this cover rounded edge...?
I got one of these. Fits perfectly! Feels like a coat on top of the screen. The display quality is unaltered though at the extreme edges one letter gets cut off. Happens really rarely. Noticeable in twrp if that makes you understand the effect a little better. Its 700 bucks. Pretty costly in my country where tempered glass costs 200. But nothing, and trust me I've tried a lot of those normal ones and nothing has come close to how seamless this looks.

I bought a tempered glass screen protector from Gearbest, but I had to remove it after only 2 days because it was starting to irritate me. The application was not perfect

Camera Protection?

Is there anywhere I can order a screen protector just for the cameras?
I already have a scratch and would like to protect them from future abuse.
Thanks

Yep, was just going to say that AliExpress has a bunch of them.
I bought a Nillkin Super T+ Pro tempered glass screen protector which comes with a camera protector as well since I needed both.
Hi, I'm planning to buy this screen protector and it says that it also has an included camera protector. How's the camera protector by nillkin? thanks

Sure they will be great, just dislike ordering things from China anymore. The last couple orders have taken months. Literal months.
Pretty much what I want, just not willing to pay more than I paid for two screen protectors. Hopefully others will start selling these at reasonable prices.

I'm using a medium-weight case on mine. No screen protector though.
On shopping markets like AliExpress or Gearbest you can find them. I think I'm also going to buy one
I just got my Nillkin protector and was a bit disappointed since the camera lens protector was just a plastic film instead of a tempered glass one. Though I must say it is indeed a high quality product.
Another option is a cover with cutouts for the lenses and flash. So nothing actually covers the camera lenses, but does provide some protection to glass area.

That's not a cover - that's an OEM piece to replace the actual lens glass if yours break.
I have a Savvies tempered glass protector on my G6. It didn't come with a rear camera protector and the cutout for the sensors also extends to the front camera, so theres no protection for the front camera either. I wish I'd known about the Nillkin protector before now, as I had a few Nillkin cases and protectors for my G4 in the past, and always found their gear great value for money.
I also have a Spigen "liquid crystal" clear cover on my phone. Its not the thinnest but it does seem like it will give some sort of protection.
Here's my temporary protection while I wait for the glass camera protector to arrive from China.

I actually bought some from eBay.
At first I thought they were plastic but they we flexible because the glass was thin.
Anyway, I got mine off eBay for $1.

Yes you are absolutely right. I should have updated my previous post, but I decided to take one and bend it in half, it shattered just as you would expect glass to. So I can confirm they are actually glass.

As per manufacturer - Type:Front Film
And again - "...Glass Screen Protector..". so it is protector for glass screens....
Honestly why would you get gorilla glass screen in the first place if you want to put on some plastic on it?
Gorilla glass has enough scratch protection and if you plan to abuse your phone then this is not the type of phone in the first place. The film type screen protectors drop protection has always been controversial and questionable.
It's like getting a new car and putting some clothes on it to not scratch the paint and to not chip the windshield...
It's the question of "refreshness". You put $2-3 glass on top of Gorilla (which is not so scratch-resistable in fact) and trash it after 3-5 month, got new glass and fresh new screen. In case of no protector the only option you have is new LCD assembly at $50? (or fake china "compatible" LCD with poor colors and backlight). According to the fact that 3-layer glass (original gorilla+silicone adhesive+protective glass) will be definitely stronger comparison to LCD only, that's the reason to choose.
But i agree with you, >$200 phone is not the price you'll have to put a case in a case while in carrying pouch to protect it like a treasure.
I got the same case. Very nice quality. The only thing I don't like is the rough inside surface. Hopefully it won't scuff the back of the phone. It also seems slightly thicker than my other plain black case.
Got the same case good quality. Cloth back solves the problem that the bare phone is SUPER slippery and will slide off a perfectly flat surface.
Are there any problems with pressing side buttons and plugging earphones?

I wonder how that compares to it.
How are the buttons with this case, I have one from silicon as well and they are really hard to press.

Recommendation for a Glass screen protector with oleophobic coating (anti fingerprint

Can anyone please recommend me a non full coverage glass screen protector for my Pixel 2 non XL that has the same anti smudges treatment (oleophobic coating) which the screen itself has? I always buy the cheapest I can find on eBay but it's a fingerprint magnet...
I already have confirmation that the Spigen has it but because it is shipped from USA shipping costs for my country Portugal are more than the protector itself... I was looking for something on the cheap size, like the Spigen (9 bucks a pair).
Thanks in advance... Cheers
The Griffin Survivor Glass Screen Protector was just released. Looks pretty good and has the coating, cost $35. Link:
https://griffintechnology.com/us/device/google/survivor-glass-pixel-2
The Whitestone is great(have one on my P2XL prob the best) but runs about $50, SGfreshidea Invisshield only makes theirs for P2XL.
Zagg Invisibleshield Glass + is also another option (coated) for $39. Link:

Thanks a lot for you answer
But 35 and 50 bucks is way more than what I am willing to spend (I should have put that info in my post, sorry). The Spigen, for instance, costs 9 bucks for a pair ... Do you have a cheaper suggestion? Also, aren't some of those suggestions full coverage protectors? I hate those since I had a terrible experience (the touch is awful, rainbow effect, dot matrix, don do well with cases, etc)

No most of those cover only the flat viewable screen, so not full coverage. The full coverage protectors will almost always pull away from the edges(also not case friendly) and are not all clear(colored borders). Most also do not have full adhesive and lots of other problems like halo, rainbow, dot matrix etc... The only protectors that will last and look right on the pixel 2 phones(especially using a case) are a bit more money but worth it if you want to do it once and be done...

Any glass protector over $10 will be advertised with an oleophobic costing. There's an entire list in the screen protector thread that all meet your requirements. I personally use the Brotect Airglass and fingerprints wipe off with ease.

Not sure if you have an Amazon presence over there. If so you could check there, it usually works out to be reasonable for Spigen products
The Whitestone dome tempered glass protector is probably the best one out now the pixel 2 XL, a little expensive tho
