Screen Protector alternatives? - Nexus 6 Accessories

Just picked up my N6 yesterday and holy cow this screen collects fingerprints like none other. I try to keep a cleaning cloth with me, but it's not really a great solution. I won't be using a case with my phone and I do not like the look of screen protectors when you can see the edges of them around the screen (aka when a case doesn't hide the edges and make it look seamless). So the only other thing I could find is some oleophobic coatings on amazon. Anyone have any experience with these or have a different alternative to screen protectors?

Links please.

Best Anti-Fingerprint screen protector?

Do you guys have any suggestions on which screen protector does the best of keeping the screen clear of fingerprints? I feel like I'm constantly wiping my screen protector off. I am using the screen protectors from vzw.

I have the same problem.... armour suit-military shield works the best for me..
I'm also on the same boat...using a Zagg Ultrashield right now. Although I like the feel of it, its a huge fingerprint magnet. Just looked into an RND anti glare and fingerprint set off Amazon, hopefully it will be better.

Same here, except before I put it in my pocket
Day Deal has a screen protector for the DNA, described as Anti Glare, which is great at minimizing finger prints and smudges.
It hides most fingerprints, but if you do get any fingerprints or smudges, a quick wipe on your pants or tee-shirt cleans it right up.
Also, the screen looks very good when the device is turned on.
On the negative side, it IS noticable on your screen, when the screen is turned off.
Also, it doesn't go right up to the edges, but it does cover the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Works well with most covers.
Well, Amazon is fast that's for sure. Ordered the screen protector yesterday with free 2-day and it showed up today. It isn't edge-to-edge, which is a bit disappointing as you have to be extremely precise in aligning it with the screen itself. At least it covers the buttons. A plus about not being edge-to-edge is that there's no interference with my case, so I won't have to worry about bubbling up. Guess this will do until I find a better matte set...

Gosh that was quick! It sounds like it is exactly the same dimensions as the stock ones from vzw. On the sides it just barely covers the screen. But what do you think about it so far? Keeping the fingerprints off good?
Yep, sounds right, this one barely covers the edges of the screen.
I think it's much better than the Zagg I was using in terms of functionality. Keeps fingerprints off relatively well, still get some smears but they come off so much easier than with the Zagg. Plus it feels so much cleaner when swiping...what I was using before made my thumbs feel like they were glued to the screen when I swiped. The only thing I wished is that it was edge-to-edge, but then again, that would probably cause issues with a case.

I know that some people swear by screen protectors but since the invent of gorilla glass 1 there has been no need for it. I don't have any problems with just not using any screen protector at all on this or my last phone that I had for over 2 years and had gorilla glass. I barely have any finger prints ever, just the act of putting it in and out of my pocket cleans it off. Plus I love how smooth the glass is compared to how sticky those protectors feel.

I would just go bare screen but even with gorilla glass people's screens are still getting scratched. I would rather deal with a screen protector than having a scratch on my screen forever.

yeah i have already gotten a scratch on my screen... I had the Skinomi screen protector but my Diztronic case caused it to bubble up at the edges then it folded 2 days after i put it on when i put my phone in my pocket (there was no saving it... lint everywhere) Since then i have not used a screen protector but am definatly interested to see how those anti glare and fingerprint protectors do.

I don't personally care for the matte finish kind of protectors and the screen is anti-glare enough on its own. I got the ones from photodon. MXA with oleophobic option. Crystal clear and once it is lightly washed feels just the the screen without one. Also does not go to the edge so no worry about cases. Btw I got the minisuit flex case on amazon for around $5 and it fits so snuggly I can barely tell it's there.

Screen protector that covers the whole display?

I bought some screen protectors off eBay and they leave about 2mm of space on both sides of the display.
I'm fine with the screen protector not covering the entire front panel but it should at least cover up the display. Whoever designed this film must be out of their mind.
Anyone know of an eBay seller that has a screen protector that actually covers the entire display?
EDIT: I know there are threads about this but they're all about the glass protectors. I'm looking for the film protectors.

Its seems to be the one thing thats hardest to get, I thought the S7 Edge would be the one that would be difficult to get screen protection for given the nature of the screen. I dont know whether its the 2.5D glass on the S7, but any review for screen protectors seem to be bad as there are gaps down the sides. I usually get a glass protector straight away but holding off for now until I decide whether I'm going to bother or not. I had considered one of the film covers but might just go for one of the full screen glass ones like the one below, although I really dont want to take away from the looks of the device.

I bought a tempered glass screen protector off eBay that covers the entire edge but leaving a tiny bit of room for a case to go on without lifting the protector. But the downside is you can see the dot matrix in the sun which isn't a major problem for me. I would rather see a good protector that i paid $10 that had dot matrix then see scratches form over time.

Is it the digitizer that you can see when looking at it with bright sunlight?
No. Since the whole protector isn't sticky like the plastic ones usually are. Only the touch screen part of the protector have these little dots that you will see in bright lighting which is to make touch feel normal. Can be quite annoying sometimes but i get over it. Worth the protection to me

Like in the picture in the post below? As you say its weighing up how much it annoys you vs how much you want to protect your screen.

Yeah thats a pretty good example of "The Dot Matrix Effect" but luckily for me the protector i have isn't anywhere near as bad as that. And definitely not as noticeable. It only annoys me the tiniest amount. But i rarely see it or notice it that much sometimes.

Been using a Clear-Coat film screen protector since I got my S7 in March. It's a good product, holds up well and works perfect with my Otterbox Commuter Case. Lifetime warranty. It's not tempered glass.

Does it affect touch sensitivity? Is it slippery the same as the screen? Would be nice to have more in-depth review.

CASEBASE tempered glass 0.24mm

I've recently purchased some black glass screen protectors from CASEBASE.
Fitment is perfect no issues for me.
I do believe they are thinner than others or at least 1 of the thinnest.
They are £6.99 for 2 on ebay.
Just giving you the heads up to protect your op5's
If you found this useful tap thanks
Managed to take some photos on a budget tablet (sorry if pictures are not very good quality)
Looks good.
Can't believe the screen protector supplied with my OP5 is shows signs of peeling. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet!

No peeling on this what so ever and it seems to fill the screen more than that 1.
I've never applied a tempered glass before. Easy enough?
I remember trying to apply a screen protector to my LG G2 once, such a nightmare, to avoid those little air bubbles.... lol.

Mine is exactly the same with a slight lift along the bottom edge of the screen. The 3T I had briefly was much worse as the lift was top and bottom.
It's the curse of the 2.5D screen and a slightly misaligned or badly sized protector.

No I've not noticed any loss of screen none that I'm aware off as I make sure the screen is lit up when I'm installing it.
There's certainly no lift it fits perfect.
Hopefully some other buyers will be able to give there opinion on it too soon.
Hello,
there is glue just on the black side of the glass or everywhere (even in the middle) ?
Beside when you look at your phone with a white background, is there some oil effect ?
I got a glass from Orzly and i got all those issues...

Do you find the screen hard to see in sunlight with this protector on? I seem to struggle to see and brightness is on full. Also I have started to see some bleed on the edges. Do you think the CASEBASE is exactly the same as orzly ? As if orzly is better I might purchase that.

No, there will be not. Okay well if they change adhesive/glue type.
Working thing would need to entire tgsp be adhesive. Or maybe Whitestone style, they have somekind of different glue system which you dry with UV lamp.
But really oil slick comes because glass is just touching screen part thanks to glue on the sides only. So it leaves really small gap between tgsp and glass and if you havent cleaned your screen like some sort un-humam/robot which is really impossible, there will be oil slick.. Maybe not right after you have installed it but soon. Some manufacters (like Orzly) makes "dots" to prevent oil slick. It basically lift really really littlebit tgsp from phone's glass surface so tgsp wouldnt touch screen surface. But then people are crying about visible annoying dots on tgsp.
Thats why Oneplus official tgsp is adhesive from entire glass. But because of OP3/3T/5 style (glass starts bending before screen ends) they needed to cut about 0.4mm from both side with protectors black borders to not produce halo.
So none of methods what different manufacter use, isnt good enough...
Oh i forgot ones without black borders. Either they will end before screen ends or they will cover entire screen but leaves on sides.

They had the matrix dots on the CASEBASE but they don't seem to help the rainbow affect. Whitestone is the way to go I was tempted to get that kit for my s8+ but I found a protector that worked for the s8 even with its big curve.
I'm very surprised there isn't any perfect 1s for oneplus 5. The CASEBASE is close but not quite there. Fitment in it is good.
I think I'll end up with some tpu on it ?

Yeah dots should theoretically help on oil slick and prevent them but it wont delete those entirely and my personal opinion is that it wont help at all.
Orzly's last year model for 3/3T had also dots and oil slick so im not confident that it would be better for this They still have dots, thats what i know for sure

Film screen protector for 6T?

Hello,
I'm looking for a good film screen protector, I'm not a fan of tempered glass. I got some protectors off Amazon, but they are really bad. As in they don't look uniform, rather porous, especially when observed in sunlight. Plus it's difficult to slide the finger, impossible if the finger is moist for whatever reason. The most annoying thing about them is that using OP gestures navigation hurts my finger, because the protector's bottom edge is rather sharp and the finger hooks on it. The factory installed protector was good, but it was easily scratched in the pocket and I had to replace it.
People tend to recommend one from Gadgetshieldz, can someone confirm it's free from the mentioned downsides?
use protectionfilms24 web site. they have good quality film
You should try Gadgetshieldz
I can confirm that it is the most amazing screen guard you will ever use. I have been using it for many years now, And I do not recommend any other brand. I have experienced it for years now. That product has no downside.

Did you got a casefit one or normal?
Personally I've used Skinomi skins on my last two devices because they're case-friendly and because Skinomi truly will send you free replacement screen protectors for any reason. I like the one for the 6T because it doesn't include a thin strip of material above the front camera and rather follows the bottom of the teardrop shape. The downside to skins like these is that any really narrow sections quickly stretch out and become disgusting, but the Skinomi skin for the 6T doesn't include any such segments.

Liquid Screen Protector

Has anyone use liquid screen protector on the LG V60? I'm more interested in the screens for the second display. If so which kind did you use. Thanks in advance for your response.
Sounds like a waste of money. Magic liquid that keeps a rock from breaking your screen. The glass protectors are best. But you cant use two. It wont close right and will eventually damage the hinge. I use one on the secondary screen because it gets flipped to the back and the phone is often set down on it. I use a flexible plastic screen protector on the main screen. Even a thin plastic protector has a tint but of give and can protect against impacts to some degree. At BEST a liquid screen protector will be like a. Car wax. It does a little something but is nowhere near what a piece of glass over your screen does. At worse its a bottle of rubbing alcohol.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking glass on the main screen and film on the other screen.
Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk
I use glass on both and just never "shut" the screen. I always fold the screen to the back when I just want one display. To me the front screen is completely worthless and I'd prefer having glass on both.
That's an option that I hadn't considered.

Every glass screen protector I've tried so far is raised on the edges and has a halo effect I can't stand it. Which ones are you guys using for the main screen and does it have the halo effect?
