Hi so recently i feel cautious about inner screen so naturally i would be looking for a screen protector for the screen. In came the screen protector which is matte. Naturally putting it on the first time it was fine when folding it. Couple of weeks later, found a stuck pixel ( a mixture of green and red can be seen) on my screen. With that said looking online, tried using software, the stuck pixel software ( you can search it on playstore, very popular with high ratings) and it works, kinda off since after a while my middle of the crease started having a blackdot in the bottom middle. After removing the screen protector that I install, it started too blacken out everything and sort of having the green line across the screen. With that said, i then restarted with the gut feeling that maybe it can clear out most of it but no it got worst, whole screen started flickering and more. In any case , with worries about it then I started looking for parts online and luckily there is a parts for it , just for the screen itself cost ard SGD400++ on alixpress, without thinking much , bought it and started asking the seller of any guides of installing it and yeap no guides for it . Luckily theres a shop around whose willing to fix it and yeap nice screen again. With that said with everything, just wanna say handle your device with real care, like real care and also screen protector its a risk i would say. Worth a try but you will never know if your device will have the same issues as mine in the coming future. My usage of the device is real heavy since i mostly used it for gaming, read manga, articles so the number of times flipping it open and close is alot.

You can only use TPU based protector, very thin and soft plus hard to apply properly.
However it's still better than not using any protector since we know the foldable screen is kidda easy to get scratched.

I hope your phone is doing fine now and is in a good shape. Weirdly, my Mix fold came with pre-installed screen protectors from the box. Now the inner screen protector started to crack in the crease, but the main display is unaffected. I don't know if I should carefully remove it or if I can stick around with it some more months.

Well if iam in your position i would removed it since like i said it would probably ruin the screen beneath it ....since also like it has been said that screen protector are not supposed to be there.
Just removed the screen protector, and the annoying cracks are finally gone! Inner display seems clearer and touch feels better. Will never apply any screen protector on the big screen after seeing your post. It is has good protection when it is folded. What a relief from my side.

I also just had the screen cracked due to an obstacle when folded in.
Where I live there is no service to repair and replace it.
I will think about doing this myself.
Can you guide me through the steps to get my screen replaced.
Thank you so much for this

Here is one pic that shows it well.
Now for the screen protector. I am not sure if they are made to not cover the whole screen from side to side, but I would have thought so. These screen protectors are pretty think to not have it go from side to side because I think you would run into touch sensitivity problems right at the edge of the screen.
Here it is actually against the edge of the glass on one side of the phone.
Here is an album of few more pictures of the case and screen protectors.
Like I said though, I would have really loved this case if it fit right. It is really thin and doesn't really change much about the phones area.

Do they all not go to the edges? That seems very odd to me and would make it to easy to peel up I would think with how think this is. Not to mention you need to touch where that is. Especially with the Browser lab side touch thing.

The screen of the HOX curves on the edges so screen protectors would bubble up if they were edge to edge.

My SGP Air case fits fine. Maybe you got a fake one? There should be a serial number inside the case, you can go here to authenticated.
The screen protector problem is well known and widely covered by the screenprotectors thread. Research helps an insane lot sometimes...
As said before, the best available screenprotector that covers the whole screen is the wet application Skinomi (techskin). Most dry application ones don't cover the screen because they don't like the curved edges of the screen, they're too stiff and don't have enough adhesive power to stay on properly.

How many of you guys use your beloved OnePlus 3 without any form of protection? I mean without screen protectors or case or skin. I've been using my phone without any case or skin for past 5 months and with only default screen protector it came with. I'm thinking of removing it, so, was asking if it's a good idea to use without any screen protector
Update: I just want to say that I went for rhino shield crash guard. I've been using it for quite a while now, and so far it has really grown on me. It's not too big or bulky and offers good protection.

I did. I had my op3 since July and I never used cases or screen protectors. I did dropped it a couple of times, the aluminium developed some light scuffs, and on the display you could only see some fine scratches. In January my gf dropped it, and it shattered the glass. I got it repaired at one plus service centre, and they sent it back with a screen protector. Now I also ordered a pretty case, just in case... I don't want it to happen again. A really tough phone overall

I dropped my phone 6 f***** inches off the ground WITH a screen protector and no case. Shattered the glass accross the whole top of the phone. It all depends on what material and how it falls. This phone has 2.5d glass meaning the front glass protrudes a tiny bit and it curves to the edges. If you drop it on any sort of surface that is harder than glass like cement, asphalt or ceramic, it will shattered the screen if it lands on any corner where the glass touches first.
Now how the heck you can use this thing without a case blows my mind, I can not hold this phone without a case, it literally slips out of my hand.

Yeah, it's pretty slippery. But, the added bulk of case just didn't cut it. And I've this urge to look at the phone's design, appreciate it and show off (lol!) every now and then. And stories like this make me skeptical and vulnerable. I also haven't found a good case to go with it.
I'm fully naked and it s amazing . It s so slim and without screen protector is so much better. That screen protector is not even covering full screen..It makes the experience very unpleasant
Well i am a fan of skins , so that's what I've got with a silicone sleeve over that and my default screen protector that came with the phone , it would be my luck to remove the protector and a stone finds its way in my pocket ...
I have big amounts of love for this phone! Coming from a moto g play after smashing my opo it is a phenomenal upgrade and with the dbrand concrete skin its a sexy phone haha but the screen scratches way too easily for my liking and that's with me being careful but its fine/micro scratches that appear under certain light now it's not gonna make me not use it but I feel it could have been better.
I'm also a fan of skins. I've got a carbon fiber dbrand skin and also had my screen replaced by the one plus service center so I'm using the pre installed screen protector that came with the new screen. The dbrand skin really helps with grip. I just can't use a case the added bulk just ruins the experience of using the device for me. Don't know why I've always been like that with my devices. I hate cases. OCD I guess.

Living without screen protector/temper glass since last September. And oh boi is it durable: beach sand, 10+ drop to flood tile, washing in sink. No dink or scrape...the only micro scrape I got is trying the damn s-pen and it doesn't even work! I do use cases tho. Pic as reference.

Without any protection here. I dont mind if my phone got scratches or something. I use my phones so long that i couldnt sell them anyway when i stop using them cause its not worth anything any more.
So why should i hide my nice metal body phone and some plastic stuff? No, thx
Got a transparant case with a dbrand. Also a screen protector since I was getting allot of scratches..
i got only a case around the back. from time to time i saw a few deeper scratches on my screen. i took care all the time to not scratch my screen, but i still found some scratches. I removed them with polish for car windshields. They are completely gone now.
Hello S8 & S8+ owners,
In search for a good screen protector we almost tried everything available at the market, the favorite for me so far was the one from Spigen as it is compatible with almost all the covers you can purchase, but it's life is short and get a lot of marks and scratches over the days
So i decided to try the Official Screen Protector

The Package has 2 screen protectors, once you hold it you can feel that it's a hybrid between film and tempered glass, it's hard and flexible at the same time
If you are used to apply the old film screen protector using a credit card pushing the air at same time you applying the screen protector you will get a great result, no one at the youtube videos managed to apply it with the lowest amount of air bubbles
something great about it that the air bubbles fade away within one or two days , i guess it has also a self healing mechanism because while i was trying to force the air bubbles out of it there was a lines or scratches under it but its all gone now and it's very clear
it's touch is nice and you can feel that your finger is sliding on it , very close to the original glass
It's a little bit thick so Samsung called it for External Shock and i guess it will do a good job regarding the minor shocks.
The thing i don't like about it that it's not compatible with spigen cases or any other case that cover a part of screen , it works very fine with covers like Nillkin Frosted Shield
I guess it's the best option available there if you use your phone without cover or with a very slim cover and i guess it will be compatible with Samsung original covers but i don't have any to try
This actually looks good, shame it isn't case friendly.
I've had this on for about a month. Best option I've come across so far. I just trimmed the top and bottom about ⅛" before installing so it wouldn't interfere with cases

Hello,
does the original screen protector any good? i ask because i have one in my phone and it´s already 2 little marks on the screen protector. Most of the time i use the s view stand cover and the LED cover, and a few times the silocone cover.
I thought this screen protector was a against little scratches, but as far as i can see it´s not like that. i don´t belive this is so strong as samsung claim

I bought the Ounier Full Coverage Bubble-Free Screen Protector as it was one of the first brands to come up when searching for screen protectors for Samsung Galaxy S9. My phone is fairly new and I needed to have it fully protected first before I include it in my busy daily routine. I’m the kind of person who chooses convenience over price, but as this product was recommended by a friend (for his S8), I gave it a chance. Besides, It’s really great that the pack has 2 screen protectors; the easier to change, the better. I’ve also had bad experiences with other screen protectors for my old phones as they sometimes hinder with some of the phone’s features, like the double tap, the sensors, etc. Since my friend can’t recall any troubles at all with this protector, this eased my mind a bit with what it had to offer.
I’ve always admired how my friend’s phone looked so seamless and smooth, it always fooled me thinking that his screen protector came with the phone when he purchased it. To my surprise, he installed it himself. Now I’m not a bad friend, but this guy can get excruciatingly stupid at times. I thought if someone as dense as him had managed to somehow not mess up with wet installation, how hard can it be?
I got the screen protectors, a squeegee, a tiny piece of cloth, a manual, and a small bottle spray solution. I’m the old-fashioned type, I never even knew that “wet installation” is actually a thing if not for my buddy. All these items looked so weird to me. I’ll never understand how people come up with this stuff but if it works, then it's fine with me.
The installation was a bit hard for me. Even with my old phones that had the typical stick-on screen protectors, I always have someone else do it or have it pre-installed before I buy the phone. Still, I’m really just doing this task because I was inspired by my friend, and I wanted to rise up to the challenge.
Upon getting ready, I tried to clean the phone. I realized I forgot to put some solution on the cloth, that’s why I was struggling to really make the phone dust-free. Reading through the instructions, I can’t believe how wet my phone would be while doing this. I mean, is it really supposed to be like that? Watching a video I found online helped me clear up the confusion. It really is a sloppy process.
I tried keeping the screen protector down when I already applied the solution. I think I put too much of the solution which made everything slide where I didn’t want them to. I was getting impatient and thinking I can start over with the second protector. Luckily, the squeegee worked wonders. It was so satisfying to watch the bubbles go away while I was clearing them. What bothered me though, is the edges took some time to stick to the screen. I needed to press the edges down with my palm repeatedly until it stuck into place. My friend suggested to let the film set for at least 5-10 minutes so it would stick and using a hairdryer can really come in handy as it won't adhere if it is too wet, especially on the edges.
I almost messed up too when I failed to align the corners where they should be (camera, sensors, speakers). Good thing was that the screen protector kept moving around. Just be careful not to press down with the squeegee too hard as the film stretches quite easily. You wouldn’t want a deformed screen protector, of course. If you’re having trouble clearing the bubbles, take your time.
Once looking crisp and free from air bubbles, I left it for a solid 30 minutes to sit. I went back to it to make sure I had all sides pressed firmly down. Thinking I was done at last, the manual said it’s important to leave it for a few hours. It was also stated that the bubbles will gradually disappear as soon as the moisture underneath the film completely dried up. It might take overnight or a day for some but bottom line is just trust the manufacturer that it would work. I impatiently left it overnight and checked it at the crack of dawn.
Here comes the testing part. There were no swiping and tapping issues after placing the film. I was also worried that rainbow colors will be visible since it was a wet installation, but there were none! I don't know if it's a bad idea but I intentionally scratched it with my nails to see if it would leave a mark. The following day, the scratch was still there but already faded and was hardly noticeable. I was amazed and I’m counting on it to make my phone look brand new for a long time.
Translucent, sleek, sexy — that’s exactly how my phone screen looked. I almost feel bad that I underestimated the installation part as I almost wanted to throw the first screen protector I used. If done correctly and patiently, you will have a premium looking phone. Don’t rush it if you don’t want to regret it. So for you guys who are afraid of the “wet installation”, give it a try. It was a bit difficult for me, but I’ll do it again if it means maintaining the high quality of my Samsung Galaxy S9. And besides, the S9
After lots of hype and anticipation the Dome Glass finally went up for preorder on Amazon today (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078JR1HTN/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1TW2EEPYOB6KA&colid=348Y83I4OO9QD&psc=0). They've sent me a review unit, which just arrived on my doorstep. I have to admit I'm a bit nervous as I've never done an install like this before. I'm also a bit curious since the glass itself appears to be flat. Here are a few pics of the package contents and protector, I'll get it installed shortly and post more.

not going to lie, installation wasnt the smoothest thing in the world but its on. it did take two tries, though that is partially my fault. in the installation video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMr68wi0Rw0) at 1:30 when they pull the pin to drop the protector on the bubble nicely hits the glass and starts to spread right before they pull it. it was not quite as nice of a spread my first try, and i waited until the adhesive had gotten a bit too far down which caused some bubbles. thankfully they provide good cleaning instructions and a second bottle of adhesive. their video is way better than i could have done, but two differences are that you need to place stickers over the speaker grills and pads on the sides. the pads are really tight on the left side with the buttons, so its best to put the pad in place before the phone goes in the tray.
as for the protector itself, i think it is the best we have available for sure. it is full adhesive, and the feel is fantastic, like using the phone naked. at least initially the oleophobic coating is great and fingerprints are non-existent. of course, well have to see how that holds up over time. i dont have any touch sensitivity issues like i experienced with the various dot matrix protectors. despite being flat it does cover the entire view able display, albeit just barely. i was a bit surprised/disappointed to find that the edges werent curved and if i try i can notice the edge of the protector when swiping from the sides. that said, it doesnt effect performance at all and it probably helps the protector be more case friendly than it would be otherwise. as you can see from the pictures there are no issues with my ghostek cloak, and i think case compatibility is an issue with the gs8. i think there is the faintest hint of halo though, so time will tell if that is an issue or my eyes just looking for something wrong. there is some adhesive residue along the edges that you can see in the pictures. i cleaned it up a bit and have no worries that it will come off over time. it also looks worse in the pictures than it is in reality.
all that said, at least right now this is the best option out there. it may not be the unicorn perfect protector, but i think it checks off all the appropriate boxes and is in a completely different class than anything else on the market.
I don't understand how the glass could be flat. The protector either doesn't cover the screen or has "liftings" on the borders.
glass is flat, this is suspect...
easy enough to figure out, simply lay the protector on the screen to see how it fits prior to actually installing it.
so does 2.5d mean not full screen coverage

A *flat* dome?!? wtf......
Now I'm not disappointed that it sold out.
so yes, the screen protector is probably case friendly. no more worrying about the curved edges lol
I wish they still made phones with flat screens like the classic Nexus 6p why do they have to do the slightly curved edges?
shows "Full coverage" with rounded coverage... yet is flat. And theyre asking for 50 for this? I'll stick with my wet apply that has actual full coverage and unlimited free replacements.
the curved edges are cool for scrolling up and down. avoids selecting the wrong things but perhaps companies want to increase the probability of screen repairs or replacements
For 50 bucks and flat glass ill buy 16 spartan glass. Its almost identical.

Which screen protector is that "wet apply that has actual full coverage and unlimited free replacements"?

IQshield or Skinomi
They probably have it reduced due to the issue with the s8 and note 8 not being case friendly enough.

write a 3* review on amazon.
hmmmm are there any other 'flat' options out there thats not $50?
I swear i had similar style flat protectors for my iphone 6 back in the day that just covered the flat part of the screen, that wasn't weird dot matrix stuff.
I have a flat one similar to the Whitestone that I might just get 2500tp Loca and apply it

Ugh....the wait continues. For 50 bucks I expect the thing to curve perfectly over the edges with full adhesive. Not be a flat protector that really doesn't need the added headache at installation and cost. Hard pass.

So there's a poll in progress that I started on another website, and I wanted to broaden the scope of it by gathering the experiences of XDA's users. Kinda goes without saying, but the poll option wording was crafted to very vaguely capture how long someone's owned their Fold (ANY GENERATION), and how the screen's held up. If you've got a couple seconds, go there and let me know how your experience.
I want this to spread all over the popular tech communities where Z Fold owners are... maybe this catches fire, maybe it gets a couple votes and fades into obscurity... but I wanna try.
well mine I had for about a month and a half now I haven't had issues but sometimes half the screen has delayed part i don't know if it a software thing or my screen but it seems fine works good I use a rugged casemate case to protect it which helps a lot since the phone is still kinda fragile I can say the screen has improved as for the toughness of it bc I had a z flip 1st gen I loved it never had issues with it I hope my screen doesn't go bc I would have to wait on Samsung but so far I love the phone but wished the cams was better but they do what I need it to do but one thing to keep your fingernails cut bc if you don't it will dent the screen even if don't realize it now the battery life has improved on android 12 I do say that bc I was only getting about 9 hours of heavy useage now im getting about 12 to 14 hours which is good but I dont charge my phone full as it degrades the battery as time goes and what did you have issues with your z fold 3 ? and you should post on reddit to on the z fold 3 communities on there bc there is people that have had screen cracks and all that but all i gotta say is keep the phone clean thats does help alot and its does keep the dirt and micro dirt from gettiing into the phone i always use air duster but i go at a angle at the hinge area and just be careful and i havent had anyhting get into my phone as of this time of me typing this out but good thing this phone is alot more durable since they add water resistant but i hope this help and also when cleaning the outer and inner screens always use a micro fiber towel and a lens cleaner or screen cleaner its does help it stay cleaner and helps with finger prints but i do highly recommend this case for any z fold 3 owner https://case-mate.com/products/tough-black-plus-galaxy-z-fold3-5g
I've had my GZF3 since release and have had no problem at all. I replaced the outer screen protector with Whitestone tempered glass. I removed the inner screen protector.
I have had mine since a couple weeks after release (shipping delays) and I am STILL on the ORIGINAL factory installed screen protectors on BOTH screens and the ONLY issue I have is that there is a slight scratch on the inner screen that is 100% MY FAULT.
Otherwise, perfectly fine here.
Received mine Oct 6 last year. Inner screen still intact with factory screen protector. I alternate using fingers and SPen Pro on it. Outer screen had a small cut when I was changing cases before so I have a Ringke tempered glass on it. Other than that it's all good
Since November 1st. No issues. Both factory installed protectors still holding up. Been in the Aramid Latercase since day 1. Inner screen looks perfect.
One thing I've noticed in the past few days is the effort to fold and unfold seems less. Like it's broken in? Not loose like a TransAM with 100K miles mind you, but just a bit smoother. And completely silent.
With the colder weather I've been resistant to open the phone up if it has been sitting on the seat of my truck. Been getting used to that skinny outer screen.
i've had mine since August 2021; original screen protector still on the inner screen, no cracks and no other issues.

A bit off topic but may I see a photo of the phone with the tempered glass installed? I'm looking for a tempered glass that is case friendly and coincidentally, ringke is in the list.
I've had my Fold 3 for 4 months now .. 2 months into it I opened it up and heard Crack Crack crack.... ohhhhh noooo.. Ended up was only the screen protector it came with was peeling up from the crease. Ended up taking it off and all been well with the screen. No issues so far. Been using the cheap out of it everyday cause I'm still off work. Thinking of getting getting another screen protector for the inside but for now both screens are raw dogging it lol....

I hope the pic is clear enough. Here's the Ringke tempered glass on the fold.

Likewise! I wish I'd have recorded me doing this, but when I got the raised corners everyone in the reviews talked about, I hit the corners with a heat gun and they were gone in under a minute.
I like to rock my phones with nothing but a skin on the back, and a tempered glass screen protector... but my skin's started lifting, so I at least have to find a thin clear case that plays nice with the dome.
