Steinheil anti-fingerprint vs ultra clear

Can anyone chime in? I did search and found that these seem to be the best available, but didn't find a comparison.
Do they both work the same in sunlight? or is there an advantage to the matte anti-fingerprint version?
I don't like having to find a shady spot when I'm outside to see what's on my screen

I have the ultraclear on and love it. Great in the sun and fingerprints show.up less then the glass I would just get ultra clear

I've owned both for various phones and am currently using the Ultra Clear on my EVO:
Ultra Clear
Pros:
1. Ultra clear
2. Reduces fingerprinting compared to the naked screen
3. Very durable/scratch resistant
4. Very smooth feel, to me it feels just like the naked glass.
Cons:
1. Fit is not 100% perfect, it leaves a small gap all around it.
2. Still shows fingerprints (though less)
Anti-fingerprint
Pros:
1. Reduces fingerprinting drastically compared to the naked screen
2. Very durable/scratch resistant
3. Nice textured feel
Cons:
1. Reduces the clarity of the screen substantially, IMO so much so that I prefer not to use this protector for this reason alone.

Martin Fields is the very best. It even includes a camera lens protector. However it is very expensive.

I know its offtopic a little but what about bodyguardz?
I really cant find a difference between most but i know invisible shield is VERY Thick.

I know some people swear by Bodyguardz and I have used it on other devices. However it is a wet application product like Invisibleshield and more than one EVO user has claimed that water from the install ruined their phone. Therefore on my screen I will only use static application (water free) protectors such as the Steinheil or Seidio.

Besides for that how does it hold up to the other ones???

Docprego - thanks for the detailed comparison. Was ready to order the ultra clear until I read about the Martin Fields. (Thanks jerryparid)
The Martin Fields comes out to $27 shipped though! Pretty steep...
What I like about this one is the included camera lens protector. The aluminum ring around the camera lens is flush with the glass, which makes no sense. If they wanted to protect the glass, they should have recessed the glass into the aluminum ring a little bit.
Anyone know of a company selling just a small circle to cover the lens? Does the lens protector distort or reduce photo quality in any way? Thanks!

i got the Steinheil ultra clear and i found the resulting tactile response to be a bit worse than some of the other screen protectors i've tried, ie. sprints

I do not feel that the film reduces photo quality. It is crystal clear and glass-like. The cut is near perfect. However, Martin Fields does not offer the best performance under the sun (compared to anti-glare protectors).

I got the Steinheil Ultra Crystal Screen Protector from the SGP Store. I'll tell you, for $16.74 ($13.99 + $2.75) at the door, nothing can beat this excellent product.
Ordered online Sunday morning. Order was shipped on Monday and I got it today, Thursday.
Yes, I will confess it was a pain in the a** to get it right, not so much because of it being difficult to apply, but because I made the mistake to peel off the protector and then leave it like that for a while while double checking the instructions and videos in YouTube. What happened is that small lint particles floating in the air got stuck to the film, so when I applied it I had multiple pieces all over my screen.
Now, I must say, the provided "dust remover" stickers DO WORK. Use one to lift the film, another one to remove the particles adhered to the inside of the film or screen. (I kept 2 stickers on each corner of the film, since I had to peel from different angles. This saved me a lot of time.)
In my case, I just had so many it was totally exhausting to get them all out. But I did a pretty good job despite the initial setback. I was very meticulous and wanted it as perfect as possible, and I am happy to say that at the end it came out just like I wanted.
Also, I was a little worried after reading some of the posts here, regarding lower responsiveness to the touch. Well, I have ZERO issues with that. I am very impressed, actually. I can barely tell the protector is there, yes, it is ULTRA CLEAR indeed. Everything works just as it was before, to the slightest touch.
And since I am using the protector along with a black TPU case, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to tell there is a film covering the screen, because you cannot see the edges of the film. (The film is slightly smaller in dimensions than the actual screen, but it does cover the whole face, including buttons on the bottom.)
Overall, very pleased and happy. I recommend this product to everybody.

Honor 9 Cases, Screen Protectors and other Accessories

Since there is only a thread for the Nillkin cases and tempered glass I thought it would be nice to have some thread for the accessories in general.
Until this day I tried 3 cases, two screen protectors (films) and two tempered glass protectors.
Case No. 1 ) Slim, silicone case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transparent-Clear-Silicone-Slim-Gel-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9/112446352466?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - Very slim and light case made from nice silicone BUT the protection when dropped would be none. It's not made 100% precisely and since it's silicone it doesn't look any good on the back where it creates bubbles. I've ordered this as the first case to have at least some protection. Nice thing is they include free screen protector but the quality isn't very good - doesn't cover the whole display (I'm not talking about edge-to-edge) and there are 2mm gaps on each side and when the display is on it looks terrible. 2/5
Case No. 2) Nillkin Super Frosted http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-HUAWEI-Honor-9-NILLKIN-Super-Frosted-Shield-Hard-Plastic-Back-Covers-Cases-/152596952252?var=&hash=item23877cb4bc:m:mtNLCAV-KRHaAK2TUOYLPTg - very nice case, really sturdy BUT I have few complaints - it's kinda slippery on the sides but this will go away after some use maybe and the bottom side around jack, charging port and speaker is a bit sharp and if you're holding the phone with the little finger on the bottom it't not really comfortable. Besides that it's really nice case for the price but I expected a bit more. But once again for the price it's more than OK. 4/5
Case No. 3) TPU Shockproof case with "carbon" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Carbon-Fiber-Slim-Shockproof-Soft-TPU-Back-Case-For-Huawei-Honor-9-Magic/112325496837?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=412748326145&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - as you can imagine, there is absolutely no carbon at all, just some kind of "sticker" or what it is. Nevermind, this case is the best of the three. Really nice case made from TPU, sturdy, should have the best drop protection and fits just perfectly. There is a small "rim" around the screen that should protect the screen from scratches when the phone is "face down". 5/5
Screen protector (film) No. 1) Nillkin Super Clear Protective Film - in terms of size the best screen protector I've had. Obviously it's not edge-to-edge but it does cover the whole display with gaps on the edges BUT the display is fully protected so thumbs up for me. In terms of "anti-fingerprint" it's nowhere close to the display or the back but is much better than some noname protector I've got with TPU case. Overall very nice screen protector for free but I'm still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass and some noname edge-to-edge tempered glass. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 1) Edge-to-edge blue 2.5D tempered glass http://www.ebay.com/itm/9H-2-5D-Full-Cover-Real-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protective-Film-For-Huawei-honor-9/152593109357?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=452016649496&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 - really nice tempered glass (2 pcs) for the price. It has the adhesive only on the top, bottom and the sides but the application was very easy and the glass holds on even with any of tested cases. It has some "dots" in the screen area so I got no rainbow effect whatsoever. The blue color is a bit different from the original color od the phone but it's not a problem since you have your phone in a case. Overall for the price pretty good. 4/5
Tempered glass No. 2) Normal tempered glass Caliber (bought in CZE) - not edge-to-edge, doesn't cover the whole screen, gaps on the sides. Overall sh*t. 1/5
Still waiting for the Nillkin H+ tempered glass.

Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go
Got the 0.2mm H+ Pro. It's cover the display area for like 99%, with-out just about 0.5mm on each side, after all still the best.
BUT. The silicon layer doesn't hold the tempered glass on both sides, looks like the phone display curve started a bit earlier than its needed for the protector.
It doesn't stick to the display, making it looks like ****, with 3mm frame from each side. Top/bottom sides stick OK, all the way to edges.
So Nilkin Amazing H+ Pro is No Go for me.

Well, got it yesterday so I'm still waiting to try it but not sure if wan't to :laugh:

cases
sooooo, I bought these from tvc mall. They were so cheap that I bought three different ones with the intent of disposing of whichever were poor. Thing is, they are all good in their own way. The plain bumper is just very slimline. The rugged looking one is cool as it has a stand in landscape mode, and the wallet is exceptional quality, given the price. All three fit perfectly, but the plain bumper makes the power and volume buttons so much more tactile. The rugged one looks really cheap in silver, perhaps black would have been a good choice. As i wasn't expecting much from the wallet one, I also oredered the nilkin wallet but that hasn't arrived yet.

I have also ordered the ultimate sheild screen protector, which is edge to edge, in black as I think it will make an excellent contrast to the silver rear of the handset....which wont be visible when the (absolutely necessary) bumper is fitted!

Ultimate sheild screen protector
.... And the ultimate sheild protector turned up. It is excellent. A word of caution, unless this is fitted absolutely perfectly, it will render one or both of the capacitance keys inoperable. This happened to me as i fitted the sheild a fraction of a millimetre to the right. I carefully removed and replaced it with more accuracy.
Here is a pic of the black sheild fitted to my silver H9, and a photo of the plain bumper fitted from my previous post. Svelt but rugged!

After a couple of hours of use I can say that there has been no loss of sensitivity on the screen or capacitive buttons, but on darker details and the blacks, it does look like the screen is behind a sheet of glass. You will know what i mean if you have used a screen protector which bonds over its entirety, whereas this one has a mild adhesive at the top and bottom of the protector, where the bezels are. A small price to pay i think to protect my new device. It is mostly noticeable in bright light, not so much in low light. And I love the new black look of the bezels with the silver fingerprint sensor still visible.

Right, so, some more hours on....the ultimate sheild has begun to show its flaws. Towards the middle of the screen there is now what i can only describe as a "woodgrain" effect. This could be caused by tiny amounts of moisture getting between the screen and protector, which I guess there is nothing to stop that happening. They offered a refund for dissatisfaction so I guess I will be chasing that up. Pfffft. So disappointed.....

Is there a smart cover for it ?!

Just bought the TPU Shockproof case and it is amazing! It's a very good quality and it doesn't makes the phone feel like a toy.
I really like it and definitely recommend it!

Can you upload a photo of the phone with the case applied?! That would be awesome

The nilkin "sparkle series" wallet turned up. Its awful. Unlike the cheap wallet I purchased, which remains closed under magnetism, the nilkin just falls open and feels poorer quality.
The Ipaky bumper with the clear perspex back is, however, very nice. The only caveat, it sits flush with the screen so offers no protection if you decide to place your device screen down.

I'm waiting for the smart cover case, if it didn't come fast, I'll go with a skin.

I have bought an honor 9 few days ago. Somebody could suggest me a screen protector that cover whole display? With 3D display is so difficult find a good screen protector....

I don't like this type of tempered glass (i know that is the only solution for cover 3d display without space).
So, someone has tested "invisible film screen protector"?

If someone else has tried this protective film, please give us a feedback.

Did someone try the Mofi screen protector? According to a review on Aliexpress it has minimal space at both sides.

I've seen ones from ultimate shield, I'm considering getting one.

Good luck with that. Did you read my earlier post? As the protector does not actually sit on the screen, due to the adhesive around the edges, it is susceptible to the "rainbow effect" which i think is caused by humidity between screen and protector. It seemed to manifest itself after the phone had been in my pocket and warmed up. I don't have an overly sweaty crotch.....
Anyhow, they apologised and promptly sent a replacement and the same happened again.
By all means give it a go and they will refund you without issue.

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.

Post how they turn out maybe I'll try them in the future

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?
Here is the hardware layout: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7157629
I don't see the camera screen protector would interfere the mic.

For Videos there is a mic on the backside which is close to the flashlight and i have only seen one camera protector which has a hole for the back mic. This mic is not shown in the Graphics on Googles Website but you can clearly See it on your device and if you make Videos with Sound with a covered mic thats fkn Bad for sound quality

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.

They also have "matte" version https://www.armorsuit.com/collectio...ogle-pixel-5-screen-protector-case-friendly-1

No. I have had this one on for weeks now and its like-new still. This is the matte version (see pic below)

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.

Here is a pic with gap shown between ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Anti-Glare Screen Protector and GESMA for Google Pixel 5 Case.

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 ???

Compilations: Tempered Glass & Film Screen Protectors

I wanted to create a thread for people to share feedback and recommend screen protectors they've tried or currently use.
The OMOTON 3 pack I purchased is quite good.
About $8, comes with an easy to use alignment frame. Coverage is great while leaving enough room for a case. Corner radius of the glass pretty much matches that of the screen bezel too.
Installation was easy.
I only wish there was a cutout for the camera but quality seems unaffected.
Here's a full unboxing & install

My LK tempered screen and camera protector has a front camera cutout, as well as a cutout for the mic on the rear camera module.
It's pretty cheap on Amazon, comes with 3 pairs of screen protectors and camera protector, an alignment tool, cleaning pads, dust removal stickers, and squeegee. Install is easy.
While the edges are all rounded over, they could stand to be rounded over a bit more for the front screen protector. The transition between the body of the phone and the screen (protector) isn't very smooth (although I expect that once I put my phone in a case, this won't be a problem).

i bought these from amazon. sending them back. touch sensitivity is terrible . i thought thee pixel was faulty. Replaced it with Spigen, perfect and responsive.
The camera protectors are rubbish. Put the flash on and image is washed out. also no cut out for the mic. Dont waste your money

THANK YOU! I went to this thread because I forgot the brand name that was suggested on a Reddit thread, and I looked it up and thought I had bookmarked it but no I didn't, and thought I would find it here. i didn't even have to look for it. It's in the OP

The zagg screen protector seems to suck... Touch sensitivity is garbage and the camera cutout has the glue too close the edge so it collects a massive amount of dust
