I picked up 6 for $2 off ebay for the Idol 3.....they are easy to identify because they have a square notch cut out at the top for the camera....avoid these if you can...they are not a perfect fit and are slightly shorter than they need to be. If you align them to the top of the phone you will have a gap at the bottom AND you will have the camera blocked by the screen protector in spite of the notch which doesn't come down low enough. If you align to the bottom then obviously the top has a gap. This is especially an issue for THIS phone since it's fully reversible and in fact I use that mode in the car alot so that it will sit in the cup holder with the port on the top. The seller tried to state I'd applied it incorrectly but did not respond to my question of how it could be misapplied without one side or the other overlapping the end of the phone. It's minor but when you swipe down to get notification tray you'll brush your finger over the edge of the screen protector...this gives a spot that will trap grime and possibly pull the screen protector up if you catch it just right.
These were obviously cut before the phone was actually in their hands...so spend a few dollars more and skip the aggravation. I attached the same pics I sent the seller.
i bought an skinomi one on amazon for like 9 bucks 12$ in total with the shipping i have heard of skinomi being a good brand you can check this one out here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WL4V95I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
as you can see it even leaves some holes for the sensors and the camera but covers the LED but i dont mind that though will make a new thread when it arrives and after i install it ill post some pics
I just received these screen protectors (3pcs for $2.18) and the cut is very precise. There are other size packs as well, with 2pcs for $1.78 up to 6pcs for $2.98. There is also a tempered glass one available for under $7 but it is sold out right now. Shipping is also very fast since the seller is in the US (I can't post links yet):

These protectors have a circle-slot cutout for the camera and proximity sensor rather than the ones with the huge notch cutout from the top edge like some of the other cheap badly fitting ones I ordered before. The fit is so precise (virtually exact on the left and right edges, and less than 1mm on the top and bottom edges) that it's easy to align this protector since the glass has a very very slight lip going around the edge. The other ones on eBay and Amazon with the circle-slot cutout seem to go for about $5-6 for 3pcs, so these seem like a good deal and aren't that much more than the badly fitting huge notch ones.
The seller even pointed to this YouTube video for installation, which I thought was very clever:
w w w. y o u t u b e. c o m /watch?v=_oJX99p3kEc
I taped from the top edge though, and then pulled the underside backing away from top just a little bit, then immediately flipped it over to apply the protector to the screen, then pulled the rest of the backing away from top to bottom underneath (instead of right to left shown in the video) to have as little chance as possible for dust to get in underneath.

The "wet application" method of some water with dish detergent in it seems to work well for applying as well. Much easier to "squeegee" some water out with a credit card into some paper towels then to try to work out air.
http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Shield-One...sim_107_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=0GQJRHD6PQC791ZS6A8T I'm using the Mr. Shield and it's fitment is pretty good. Could've been perhaps 1/32nd or 1/64th of an inch longer, but it'll do the job. As long as the glass doesn't get scratched, that's what's important.
Using a tempered glass since I got the phone, and it working really well. I'd say go with the glass protector.

Which one are you using? And how it's it holding up?
I also ordered a tempered glass one from ebay for $7-8 but have not yet applied it. I have not previously applied a glass one so I've been viewing vid's since applying them is different vs the flimsy ones.
How vital is it to use a screen protector for Idol 3? Is the glass not that strong? I have always used protectors on my Nexus phones and our iPad has one, too. But I don't use one on my Nexus tablets and haven't had a problem. If I'm carrying the Idol 3 in my pocket, are scratches likely?
Re: the Mr. Shield protectors, I'm considering ordering a set. I get the impression from their website and the instructional videos that they're the exact same protectors as the Halo Direct ones I've been using. Temporarily, I put a Nexus 4 Halo Direct protector on my Idol 3 screen, which doesn't give full coverage, of course. Because there's about 1/3" that isn't covered, I can see the contrast between the colors beneath the protector and those that aren't. There's a very slight dulling of the color using the protector, fwiw.
In any case, I'd sort of prefer to stop using protectors and cases. But as I just got this phone, and am not entirely sure I'll keep it beyond the 30 day return period (I do like it so far, even if it's a little sluggish, as billed), I want to make sure that it's eligible for a refund if that's what I end up wanting.
It looks like the whole screen protector needs to go down 1mm so the top and bottom will be symmetrical. Right now its too high its touching the camera.
You can also easily remove the dust and bubbles under your screen protector if you use the sticky side on scotch tape to pull them out
Hope that helps!
Just got a 3 pack of Mr. Shields from amazon. Good fit (they are a tad smaller than actual screen size, which kinda helps with install) and probably one of the easiest protectors I have ever put on. Went on with zero bubbles in the 1st try. Just used their tutorial video on the website. Recommended for $5.99 for a 3 pack with lifetime warranty.
thanks for the info, will get one too.

The Mr. Shield ones fit fine, but I was very disappointed with how easily they got scratched.

So I received my TechMatte screen protector today. I installed it a few hours ago. I honestly didn't have high expectations for it. I had forgotten that I had a TechMatte screen protector coming, so installed my Ghost Armor screen protector when it came in on Saturday. When the TechMatte screen protector came today, I placed it over the screen just to get an idea of the coverage that it offered. I was impressed that it was truly edge to edge on top, bottom, and both sides! There literally is no room for error on install, which is a good thing in my opinion! Just use the hinge method to get it on there perfectly. Also, the Home button has a cutout for it specifically. Most screen protectors just have a U shaped cutout at the bottom, and they don't offer any coverage below the Home button. Even Ghost Armor for the Note 3 uses the U shaped cutout, where Ghost Armor for the Note 2 has a specific hole for the Home button. I expected the Home button cutout for the Note 3 to be the same as the Note 2, so I was disappointed to see that they slacked on the Note 3 Home button cutout. So earlier I peeled off my Ghost Armor screen protector and lined up the TechMatte screen protector to do the hinge method. TechMatte even includes 5 tape strips in the package that are labeled for using with the hinge method, very nice touch on there part! I used the included cloth to wipe my screen clean of any dust and/or fingerprints. The cloth they include is larger than any cloth I've received with any other brand screen protector too! So I layed the screen protector on the screen and pushed out any bubbles. There was surprisingly very few bubbles on the screen, and the ones that were there were very easy to push out. I get it on and it's lined up perfectly. After peeling off the last film from the top of the screen protector I get my first feel of the actual screen protector itself. I am truly amazed by how it feels! It feels just like the bare screen! Looks wise, unless you're really REALLY looking for it then you would never know there's a screen protector on it! An hour or so later I handed my phone to a couple friends an told them to check out my new screen protector. They didn't believe me at first! Lol. I had to point it out to them for them to believe me! They both said it feels just like glass and is perfectly clear and not even noticeable! Now I've been using touch screen phones for many MANY years, since the early Windows Mobile days. I've always had screen protectors on every phone I've owned. This screen protector is by FAR the very best I've ever used or seen! I've been a fan of Ghost Armor for quite some time, and always recommend them to everyone. Hard for me to believe, but that time has come to an end! TechMatte is hands down my new favorite! I'll be recommending them to all of my friends, and using them on all of my devices from now on! I took some pics with my Evo LTE, because it takes better photos than my Note 2. I'll post pics in the second post with it, so please no one comment until I get on my Evo LTE and put up some pics. It's hard to even see the TechMatte screen protector, but I'll try to get some closeups of the Home button and the top of the phone.

I apologize for not having the link in the OP to begin with. Anyone considering a screen protector is crazy not to buy these!! This price is insanely cheap!! This isn't just for 1 screen protector either, you get 3 with this!! Better jump on this deal while they are on sale!! I'm not sure how long the sale will last, so you shouldn't wait long, if at all!

Sorry about the 1 pic per post. I'll just wait until tomorrow, use a digital camera to take pics, an use my laptop to post them. Bottom line though, if you want a screen protector, TechMatte is absolutely the BEST choice!! I'm going to remove every screen protector on my other devices and replace them with a TechMatte screen protector!! Give them a try, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!

Cool thanks. Just picked up 2 packs. I have been using the SPIGEN protectors but twice now ordering from them the packages have been damaged and they refuse to replace them. Took it up with AMAZON customer service.
Hopefully these work well. Can't go wrong for the price.
Thanks OP for the review.
TechMatte screen protectors
I received my TechMatte screen protectors in the mail yesterday for my Note 3 and Nexus 7 2013. I had never heard of TechMatte or their products before so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Upon inspecting the packaging I became worried as the image of the SP showed that it did not have a cutout for the home button but rather an upside down U-shape that starts above the home button and leaves it open below. However upon opening the packaging and inspecting the screen protectors they do indeed have a cutout for the home button that fully surrounds it and thus provides coverage for the entire bottom region of the device.
Included in the package were 3 SPs, an anti-lint/dust microfiber cloth, a sheet of tape strips to perform the hinge method for install, a squegee card to remove bubbles, and installation instructions. Installation was very straightforward being that it is a dry install. The fitment is fantastic. Other than the speaker grill and sensors it FULLY covers the front of the device edge to edge with almost no gap. Clarity is excellent and so is the "feel". I have no sensitivity loss with my fingers nor with the S-Pen. I attempted to press on the protector fairly hard with the S-Pen and also tried to make indentions into the film with my finger nails and was unable to do so.
At the current asking price of $4.50 for the kit with 3 SPs on Amazon I would not hesitate to recommend these SPs to anyone and would probably say that these may be the best bang for your buck screen protectors you can get right now. :good:

Yea, I'd never heard of them before either, so I also wasn't expecting much. I must say though, I was pleasantly surprised! They also sent me a screen protector for my N7 FHD as well, as they saw in my sig that I had one. Have you installed yours yet? If you haven't yet, definitely use the hinge method! There is no room for error on install, as this screen protector really covers from every edge to edge!!
For those looking, definitely jump on that Amazon deal!! This morning I forgot that I even had a screen protector installed!! It truly is an incredible looking screen protector, because there is nothing to look at or see!!! Lol. I'm still in amazement over it! Like I said in the OP, I've been using screen protectors for a long time and this one is definitely the best!! There really isn't any competition to these!
The only negative, which is really a positive in my opinion, is that you must install it perfectly. I've said it before, but there really is no room for error as this screen protector covers everything!! You do get 3 in the package, so if you mess up on the first install you have 2 more tries. I got mine right on the first try, so as long as you're really careful then you can as well. I highly recommend using the hinge method though!! If you aren't sure what that is then watch some YouTube videos on how to do it and you'll be set!

Yeah I installed them both last night. The Nexus 7s protector was more forgiving in it's fitment than the Note 3s IMO. The N3s SP was almost exact to the size of the screen inside the chrome bezel while the N7s left a little more room for play but since you gotta line up the camera and sensors into the small opening it made lining it up a little easier.
Link added to OP. I'll post it here also. 3 for less than $5!!!!

So after a few days of use I'm just as happy as was the first day! Still looks perfect and swapping cases repeatedly hasn't bothered the edges of the screen protector! Still highly recommend these! You WILL be satisfied!!

My Review
I have to agree with the OP. A great product with great screen coverage and feel. I received mine from techMatte a couple weeks ago:
Full Disclosure: TechMatte provided me a free sample to test
I am not normally a big fan of screen protectors for my phones. Mainly because it's just a hassle to put on and the screen just doesn't feel right as compared to the naked screen (and I can never get them lined up right).
CONTENTS: The pack I received had 3 screens along with a microfiber cloth, plastic card to squeeze out any bubbles, an installation manual, and hinge stickers (for installation).
INSTALLATION: Installation was very easy and it's a dry install. I'm a perfectionist (which is why I don't normally like putting on screen protectors) and the supplied stickers for the hinge method of installation (which was outlined in the installation manual) helped me actually get it lined up perfectly on my first try!
LOOK: Once installed it was perfectly clear. No discoloration that I could discern. There were three bubbles that I wasn't able to squeeze out immediately specifically because I missed really small pieces of lint. I was a little frustrated at first because I had thought I'd done well keeping it clean (note, I would have been better served installing in a more well lit room...I'm sure I missed them because I didn't have good lighting while installing)...but, they were really small so I figured I'd give it a little time.
I'm pleased, and surprised, to say that after a couple days those last few bubbles actually went away leaving a nice, clean, clear surface.
FEEL: As far as feel, a big question I had going into it was how would the screen feel under finger and, more importantly, under the stylus. I have a friend who has screen protector where it's very rubbery and every time he uses the stylus on his Note 2 there are grooves left behind. I can confidently say that this screen protector does not have that problem at all.
I also want to call out that the screen protector does not have an affect on the sensitivity of the screen either with your finger or with the stylus.
Under finger if I dig my nail in a bit, I can feel that it's a bit rubbery but just normal use it's smooth without any noticeable drag. It does feel slightly different from a naked screen, but it's still pleasant and not distracting at all (and I feel that I'm picky on feel).
As for the stylus, I was surprised again here. Right after it was installed there was a little bit of drag when I used the stylus but that quickly went away as I continued to use it. If your extremely picky (or if you have a heavy hand) you might notice a bit of a difference but I don't.
OVERALL: I'm absolutely sold on this screen protector and would recommend it to protect your screen. Installation was easy with the included supplies, the protector is very clear and, unless you know what you're looking for, unnoticeable once on (provided there aren't any bubbles), it doesn't alter the feel of the screen much, and doesn't affect the sensitivity at all either with your finger or stylus.
The only caution I would throw out is to be careful when installing to avoid any lint under the film. If you've done these kind of protectors before then you probably already know this.

It think it attracts a bit more than the naked screen (which is surprisingly resistant to fingerprints) , but it doesn't seem too bad to me. But...I don't have a lot of experience with different screen protectors. I can say it's better about fingerprints than the naked Nexus 4 and naked Note 1.

I have this screen protector, and I havent taken it off to try any of the others I have. It's THAT good. Once you line it up against the fat bottom, just lay it down.
Had some dust, lifted it up and used tape on the screen protector, and put it back down. Now I have ZERO bubbles and it's fantastic. 100000% clarity too. 5 stars.
Hi Guys,
Since there is no good tempered glass or screen protector available for the S7(not edge), Spigen has one but that's way too expensive and I wasn't able to find an authentic one in the market. Has anyone tried protectors and skins by GadgetShieldz? Here's the link-
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
The plus is that if the product is as good as they are describing then it covers the sides too. The con is that there is no actual proof or hands on video regarding the same+it is still expensive atleast for me but there's no other alternative.
Thanks
I just ordered the matte and the ultra clear screen protectors. I didn't buy the body because I have a Rhinoshield bumper and back protector. I'll post a review once they arrive.
Good product the body shield is
Have been using the Gadgetshielz full body protector for 6 months now. It is quite good and the cuts are precise. Quite a lot of work, applying them is. Be patient after applying, in a week or so, the bubbles and wobbles will sort themselves out. Was hard to believe when I completed installation and saw what a mess it was.
That doesn't look like tempered glass. I will NEVER go back to the flimsy protectors. Too many issues with bubbles, etc. But, I have yet to find a tempered glass that full covers the edges. It's more of an issue when things are right at the edges (such as text) that makes it difficult to read, but I'll take that as it's rare knowing that I have a tempered glass protector on that does a better job of absorbing the shock of a drop.
Using their screen protector, with my rhinoshield bumper case and no bubble. Wanted glass first but all those that I bought, the case lifted them or they had the big halo, lifting all around cause the curve screen.

Thanks mate. I bought two and will report when it arrives
So, here's why review-
Finally ordered them. It was my first time that I was installing any sort of protector and I was super nervous. The protector kept coming off. I had to wet it with the solutions many times. I drove out the bubbles as many as I could but the end result was way too foggy and messy. But after 48 hours everything was gone, except few dust and fingerprints particles which are my fault BTW there's a huge particle of dust on the back button. Can I lift it up just a tad to remove it? I still have the solution, I am planning to wet it to reapply. Will it work?
Also can anyone suggest a good cover for S7? My current one is a chinese one, but I think it will remove the side protectors if I take the phone out few times because with the side protectors the sides bulge out a bit. @r3xx3r @ere1nion
Any way to get the same cover in India?

I searched for a month, ordered like 10 different tempered glasses from various websites but they all sucked. GS's protector is not a glass but it is the best alternative to a glass.

Those plastic lines are antenna separators. The frame of the phone is used for different antennas, so they must be separated.

I had a partial screen protector on already so no shift in change for me there either. I just received mine in the mail today. The back application was by far harder than the front. I didn't get it perfect. It's the material used on the back. I will not be testing this screen protector but I feel confident with it on. Hopefully it will never need to prove itself.
So, my protector is screwed thanks to Gear VR, it kept on removing the upper part of the protector every time I put the phone in the Gear VR or took it out. Has anyone tried the so called buff guard(a type of tempered glass) which covers the whole screen even the edges? Is there any alternative for the GadgetShieldz protector?
My wife just upgraded to an S7 (tried the Moto Z and it was too big, bulky and heavy for her). She wanted a tempered glass screen protector, but not like the one I have (which doesn't cover the entire screen due to the curved edges of the S7).
After much research, I found the amFilm glass protector was one that was listed in many top-10 lists as being excellent. This covers the entire glass but gives room on the edges for cases. My wife has a Speck Candyshell case for her phone and the screen protector works fine with it. My only issue with it is that on the top and bottom (which is fully protected), it's colored. So you have to choose the correct color based on your phone (black or gold). I don't understand why it has to be colored. Why not make it all clear so you can see the actual color of the phone? But it DOES cover the entire screen unlike the earlier brands that came out. And it was very easy to apply and there are no bubbles at all. Touch response is excellent from what I could tell. I tested it and couldn't find any "soft" or "blind" spots that didn't react and I just lightly touched, so it was pretty good. I'll wait and see how it goes with my wife after she's had it for awhile. It also comes with a lifetime warranty for the purchased product. That means, and they state this in the documentation that comes with the protector, that the warranty does NOT apply to a warranty replacement item. So that means, if you've swapped out your initial purchase with a warranty item, you'll have to purchase a brand new screen protector to get a lifetime warranty again. That is pretty standard across most things like this, so I have no complaints.
Here is the gold colored one that I ordered and installed since she has a gold S7:

Thanks for such a detailed review. There are many protector glasses of that sort available in India, all of them are manufactured in china, but not the brand which you have mentioned. The reviews of the chinese one's is pathetic. So, I didn't go for them. Can you please check and confirm whether the phone fits fine in Gear Vr with the protector that you have installed or not?
This one, though its for the Edge model, looks tempting but I will wait for an early bird's review before ordering the one for the non-Edge version which should be available by tomorrow-

Attached are the photos of the 6T solid suit and the impact screen protector that I just installed this morning. The solid suit feels amazing and the screen protector is film and feels like glass, but is definitely not glass, just so there is no confusion there. It does seem to go from left edge to right edge completely and where I placed it seems to cover the entire screen top to bottom. The slider on the case really works and the buttons are fantastic; smooth and clicky, not at all hard to press. I love both and I'm glad I got them ordered on Black Friday now because two protectors and a case was not inexpensive but they are both super high quality and way more affordable than the glass one from T-Mobile so I'm happy with my purchase. If you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them!
Also, don't mind the doggo, she likes being in pictures.
Can u tell me how the side buttons are? Are they still clicky? Or are they mushy like the stock case that comes with the phone....
And how's the slider button? Is it flimsy?

And how's the slider button? Is it flimsy?[/QUOTENnnnn n N
The buttons are great, I handed someone else my phone so two people could verify that they are very clicky and easy to push. The slider has some play in it up and down but it does work correctly when it hits the slider on the device. No issues with functionality at all this is a really great case.

I tried crashguard on op6 and hated it. I think I'll like the solid suit better. Thanks for the pics. Screen protector is intriguing also, seems very clear....
Thankfully I waited I can get the print backs now. Just waiting or one particular one to be available
Is the screen protector you have on This one? It says "Not Full Coverage" on it... I can't see clearly on your photos how close to the edge of the screen the screen protector comes to... I had the same impact screen protector on my old Samsung Galaxy S7, and it didn't even cover the full screen on the left and right, which is the reason I didn't order this screen protector for my 6T..
how slick is the screen protector compared to the pre-applied plastic one from OP?

Sorry about the late response I'm traveling abroad. I have the impact screen protector as the tempered glass one is for the back I think. Anyway, as far as not full coverage I think what they mean is that it covers the visible screen but not the edges past that. It doesn't extend fully top to bottom either but it does cover all the visible screen space as far as I can tell; no obvious cutoff of the screen though it does require precise placement to line it up properly.

Much slicker definitely. Feels like glass but definitely doesn't get rid of oil the way glass does. It feels good to the touch and it is very strong as I dropped on a stool and it bounced onto a hardwood floor right after that. There was no damage to the screen, but the protector did crack so I'll replace it when I get home. It did very well holding up to direct impact on a metal stool; lived up to the hype for me.
Can u take better pictures of the screen protector again?

The impact resistance shatters? I thought it was some type of plastic film.
https://imgur.com/a/BJD1GmC
I also purchased a SolidSuit (with the lens mount) for my 6T and while I like the build material, I don't like the little details. Let me explain:
1) The back of the case has this weird look and feel like it's made from three separate medium-fiber density board with a black sticker over it. I can actually feel the transitions between the three pieces and I don't like it. See the attached picture.
2) There is a noticeable gap at the top of the phone where the back meets the bumper edge. However, on the bottom, it's completely flush. My pockets are clean, but somehow dust and small particles find its way into that tiny gap. Ugh,
3) The special lens adapter is amazing since I am now able to mount the Moment 18mm WIDE V2 lens. However, since the bayonet mount sits so far away from the camera lens, it creates vignetting. FYI: The OP6T and the OP6 share the same lens adapter. I bought both. They are labeled differently, but they are identical in every way: height, mounting point, etc. If they did this correctly, the adapter for the OP6T should be SHORTER since it does NOT have the same camera height protrusion as the oneplus 6.

It didn't shatter really, it just cracked along a seam where the impact was. When I get back home in two days I'll try to get pictures of the crack and the screen protector.
Hope to make this thread as a collection of reviews and Q&A for various screen protectors. Noticed several reviews for some before the device was even released. Hopefully this thread helps others and a way for you to share your experiences.
OMOTON 4-pack
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NXZP7PG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pros:
Covers the whole display (left to right)
No halo or rainbow effect
Leaves enough gap for a case
CHEAP (includes 4)
Cons:
Peeling the dust remove sticker was a pain.
Doesn't cover class between camera and earpiece
Other thoughts:
the glass is quite thin. Less than .33mm which is the norm. Probably will make it not so durable when drops and possibly easier to crack. But nice as it doesnt feel sharp or large on the display
This glass is a precise fit, so be careful on installation. Good thing if you mess up, there are additional ones. .5mm left/right or up/down probably will cause a halo affect for that edge
The results:

Thanks for getting this started, tlxxxsracer! I'm going to mimic your format to the best of my ability. I'm going to include a Comments line as I don't have images or videos to link to.
Yocktec Screen Protector
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QTZ9XPP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Comments: I gave this a 3 star rating. It's acceptable as a "until I get a better one" protector but not one I'd consider for long term.
Pro's:
Feels like decent quality glass for the price (strength, clarity, etc.)
Simple installation
Well gapped for a case
Con's:
Bad edge lifting/poor contact
Not particularly cheap given it's just one in the box
Somewhat difficult to line up given how the glass it cut for the front camera/speaker.
UniqueMe Screen Protector (3 Pack)
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QKCFS9N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Comments: I opened this and immediately filed for a return. I laid one of the 3 pack onto my screen and it was too large to work with most cases, and part of the edge was going to go over the slight curve on the edge of the glass. Not worth even trying.
Pro's:
N/A, didn't even try
Con's:
Too large, will almost certainly lift off at the edges
L K Screen Protector (3 Pack)
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NM4MRFQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Comments: What's currently on my phone. First to install had two large air bubbles because I just kind of threw it on there as I'm used to doing with most tempered glass protectors, second I went slower and it's good. There is some slight lifting on the edge in a couple of spots, and small air bubbles in the regions that the protector covers but aren't part of the actual visible screen. I'm going to stick with this until some of the bigger name brands start releasing stuff, namely second versions as the first go is rarely great, and keep the third of the pack as a backup.
Pro's:
Cheap
Quality is good. Feels strong, clarity is nice, etc.
Good coverage of screen while still allowing enough of a gap for cases to fit.
Con's:
Installation isn't as easy as I'm used to. I don't think it's a "designed to be installed how we show" you kind of thing, just a bit finicky. (Note: Not actually difficult, just go slow and follow the video they link you to in the box)
Related to above, I feel like their instructions will inevitably waste at least one protector for most users as there will be dust and/or air bubbles collected this way. You're not likely going to get it perfect on your first go. (Note: Which is why a lot of people will read this and think, "well that's why they include 3, dummy" which is a fair point, but I wanted to bring it up)
Very slight edge lift
Glass it cut so between camera and speaker there is a large exposed area (Note: doesn't bother me personally, but I know some people don't like that)
Supershieldz 3 Pack
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q1KCT3M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Comments: Didn't install. Looks very similar to the L K tempered glass in size, but based on Caebron's comments below I figure it's not removing the L K I have on to try.
Space held for Supershieldz commentary
I've got a 3 Pack of these coming in the mail tomorrow. I know a lot of people like Supershieldz but I haven't liked a single one I've gotten. I got them mostly to see if I just got bad ones in the past or if everyone's just crazy. Unlikely to install it given that the L K's nice, but I'll comment on them.

Never bought this brand before but it worked perfectly on the first one. The 3a XL's display seems to be much flatter than the 2xl and 3xl which were a nightmare with putting on glass screen protectors. So happy to not have one with a black border around it again!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::good::good:

I just installed these and will be returning them to Amazon for a refund. The pack includes two shield, and while I was able to work out any trapped airbubbles by pushing them towards the edge of the screen, and any remaining small bubbles disappeared over night, they always leave an airbubble at one or more of the edges. It looks as if you could slide a fingernail underneath - which you can't so it's just this long elongated airbubble that makes it look as if it isn't sticking at the edge of the screen.
Ordered myself a Zagg this time - I will report back on how it works.
I also used the Omotion 4 pack,,,it covers about the same as most and fingerprints are not as noticeable as they are on some others.
3 pack I picked up. super smooth bonded pretty well. Thick so should be decent protection. though it barely covers left and right of actual screen area. not sure how much wider it could go because of the curved edges of display.
amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07PVQ2LYB
I got the LK as an interim. They are certainly not bad, but I'd like something with a more complete coverage and also less sharp and thick edges. For my OnePlus 6 I had protectors from ******* that were decent...but not perfect either. I hope we'll get good one for the Pixel soon...
Also bought a Zagg. The guy at Best buy installed incorrectly. I ordered a replacement since it has a lifetime warranty. Will report back once I get the replacement installed properly.
Super surprised how well they installed, yes they have the black lining all around, full adhesive. No issues installing. Perfect alignment without a tray ( no screen leak on either sides). Good price and no loss of screen sensitivity.
Definitely recommended
Case friendly too
TekRoot 4 pack from ebay
Pros: perfect cut, resist smudges well, easy to apply, full glue, work well with a case, dirt cheap.
Cons; Halo around the border due to glue, maybe not enough of it, or bad quality.. other than that, for $2.25 a piece in package of 4 with shipping included, I can live with the borders not completely adhering to the screen.
I was happy with the CASEVASN screen protectors. Not sure why it's reviewed so poorly.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R4HC87D/
I don't like the notch on the OMOTON and prefer the cutouts. It has basically zero room for error, but I eventually got it lined up perfectly with the sticky tab hinges, and it has plenty of space on the sides for a case. No bubbles or distortion.
Got my replacement Zagg, the screen feels really nice and there are NO fingerprints at all. But there's no room for error on the install and the thing that's meant to help line it up sucks, way too easy for the protector to get underneath it. Because of the huge gaps on the sides, it's almost impossible to install properly. I'd stick with a full adhesive black boarder protector, definitely not worth $40.
Edit: after just a few minutes of use, the phone is covered with fingerprints. Again, would not recommend.

Looks like a ton of fake reviews on Amazon, doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. Have any pictures of it installed? I don't understand how it could have black boarder and be case friendly. I'm looking for something not case friendly, doesn't seem to be many options

Am with you on that, I just purchase and test, I don't trust most Amazon reviews cause like you mentioned plenty of fakeness, but yes it has the black borders and case friendly, once am home I will upload pics. My biggest surprise is the no screen leak on the sides, **** they did a good job with the size..
Just received my omoton 4 pack. It doesn't cover the whole screen as the OP reviewed. Must be a new batch as it was backordered for a few days.
Here are the pictures of the screen protector installed
Black border

Just ordered, looks great. Thanks for sharing!
Update: just received. Much easier to install than the Zagg due to the edges getting much closer to the edges of the phone. The cutouts are so precise you can line the whole thing up based on them. It might cut off a few pixels on the sides, but overall I'm very impressed. Fingerprint resistance seems to be MUCH better than the Zagg. Don't waste $40, buy this!
Update 2: have noticed this screen protector actually hurts screen quality pretty noticeably. Not sure why, but in some apps (especially apps with lots of white), it's VERY annoying
I also recommend the pulen. fit is perfect and I don't notice any issues with transparency or responsiveness.
I picked a 3-pack of LK, non-bordered, up. Took a little more time than I usually do lining everything up with the included guide stickers. Most other phones the cutouts are precise enough for me to eyeball, but since this one just has a huge cutout at the top for the camera all the way to the speaker, not so easy to do. Went on perfectly and so far haven't had any issues with the edges of the glass, and I don't have any blue discoloring at the edge. Protector is *just* the right size for the screen, so thinking the extra time taken to line things up served me well.
Can't take pictures because the only other device I have at the moment is a Huawei Mediapad M5 running PHH-treble and the camera doesn't work on it for whatever reason.

Any pictures?
I cant find a good case for ROG 3 on flipkart of Amazon. Which case are you guys using? where did you buy it from??
I am using Lighting Armor case as I need to use the air trigger. If you do not care for the function of air triggers (dual & slide), can get IMAK case from aliexpress.
I'm also using the lighting armour , I like it ok it drains power but I still like it
I am using the average tpu case that is available for rog 3, i had to make cut out for the side mounted type c ports though
I'm using this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001345047036.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5d6e4c4d4DwYCq
It's not perfect, but provides enough all around protection, the cutouts are in place.
The included tempered glass screen protector is of good quality, but the black border covers a few pixels on the sides.
It's pretty cheap, I can recommend buying it to protect your ROG Phone 3 - as I said, it's not perfect, but good enough.
Using this one with a tempered glass in the front and a silicon film in the back
I have ordered this IMAK transparent black TPU case with extra corner shock-proofing along with these IMAK clear soft hydrogel films for front & back protection.
Hopefully shipment arriving to me by early next month.
Used to use the lighting armor case until the slippery uncovered aluminium side caused me to drop the phone yesterday, now the phone has a dent on the top right corner of the frame. Lighting armor has the best look of all the cases out there. Now using Zshow case which should prevent it from hitting the screen flat down if I ever drop it again. I'm lucky the phone didn't fall face down with the lighting armor case which would have guaranteed a cracked screen.
I have the imak tpu case too but it cause the tempered glass to lift.
Besides the tempered glass being lifted issue, what's your experience/ feedback regarding your IMAK TPU case (is it with extra corner protection)?
Imak case is quite loose around the air triggers, power button, volume button and side port. Top 4 corner airbags are the problems as they can be depressed quite easily and this cause the screen protector to lift up. You will know when you hold the phone on your right hand with your palm resting with the bottom right corner for support, and this can cause the screen protector to lift.
I'm getting the hydrogel film screen protectors - Hoping that screen lift is not an issue.....
What's your experience or opinion regarding the general damage/ drop protection with this case?
Quality, overall fitting & feel?
It will protect if dropping on the corners as well as face down. However dropping on the back might be a problem because the camera lens are protuting out (although the case cover the camera lens). Placing the phone on the table will also result in wobbly phone when using.
---------- Post added at 06:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 AM ----------
Quality, would say it is better than those generic cheap tpu case (which has worse fit than imak), feel wise, it is slippery on the back.
I just received this: Foluu ROG Phone 3 Case through Amazon. £6.71. To hold it without the phone it doesn't feel great and whilst over the standard case it comes with its bulkier I feel so much safer knowing my camera wont get scratched when I put the phone down. It also raises of the front screen by a minuet amount so there is a bump as you move your finger about. I'd rather that than a nasty scratch though so happy with it.
Air trigger holes and extra power connector cut out too as well as on the back a nice design

It covers the side? The picture on amazon looks like it is an open side design. I don't see slapping that case will provide a good grip.

I am using Asus Original Screen Protector without antibacterial coating. The antibacterial protector is not available in my country. Great protector, no blocking of edge unlike the cheap china protector which has thick black borders and block the edges of the display.

Thanks for this, I did think about getting this over.
I'm using the magnetic flip case which is great, but no front lip so don't drop the thing like I did, broke my display as the screen protector didn't quite cover all of it and a tiny stone hit the outer edge.
Not the end though as I've bought another, and will get it repaired under insurance consider it a lesson learned.

This was with the rog case which in all honesty shouldn't come with it.
This is the protector, don't bother with it, I've another coming that has smooth edges, looks decent so will see.
Turns out the one I've ordered might be the same Asus sells.

I have ordered this IMAK transparent black TPU case with extra corner shock-proofing along with these IMAK clear soft hydrogel films for front & back protection.
Hopefully shipment arriving to me by early next month.

FEEDBACK
Took about 5 weeks to arrive (from China).
This IMAK case is good build quality and fit over all, could have been a bit more snug - the extra corner padding does not make it look slick, and I am not sure if it is worth it on balance.
There is a 2 mm lip all around the front panel to help with screen protection.
Cut-outs are spot on - including for air-triggers/ 3 mics/ heat vent/ side USB ports. No cut-out for SIM-tray though but it's better this way.
Camera module is fairly well protected.
No issues with air-trigger related squeeze gestures.
The Hydrogel clear gel screen protector had a ?extra notch cut-out just left of the front camera (?? why) but otherwise the rest of the dimensions were spot on. It came as a set of x2 in one pack, which was a nice surprise. Included a helpful set of instructions/ link to video.
I preferred it to be short by about 1 mm all around the edges to minimise the risk of "lift" when the case is compressed in pockets/ when using the squeeze gestures etc.
The touch feel is smooth and has a good response. Visibility through this screen film is fine; no glare issues. I prefer these type of gel screen protectors to glass.
Has anyone come across a case that doesn't need to be removed when connecting to the accessories (eg Twinview, Mobile Desktop Dock)?
