Ok, long story short: I am a neat freak!
I have the original screen protector on my phone,
I am using a silicone case that covers everything apart from the screen, the three buttons and the camera lens and flash, of course.
I was wondering, are there any pre-cut film protectors that fit into the lens?
I know that this may compromise the photographs taken with the camera,
but I find myseld worrying that I will get my lens scratched by a key or something, and that would compromise the camera permanently.
So, any suggestions?
PS: Please don't flame...
I am using the Martin Fields Screen Protector that comes with a lens protector also.
Not flaming, but maybe just keep your phone in a different place to your keys...
Keys in pocket A, phone in pocket B.
Solved.
Works like a treat for me.
Also, the camera lens it pretty hardy - I was worried about it scratching too, but I've had no issues... Also, a crappy protector on the lens is probably going to take worse pictures than a slightly scratched one...
i always use neoprene pouch for my mobile phones.........they are just great, they are not big so you can put your phone in any pocket, they arent tricky to take your mobile out when you need to answer, and they protect your mobile all the time, so no scratches at all
i change my mobile every year and after a year they look like new...
You have the orginial screen protector, as in the film that is stuck to it when its in the box? You still have that on the phone? Doesnt it have a tab hanging of it so you can pull it off, wouldnt that be getting all tattered by now.
P.S. I would call that a screen protector, the phone doesnt really need protecting while its in the box. Its more for finger prints and stuff.

No, no, I meant I have that factory pre-applied screen protector that is really hard to see (only if you notice the corners under direct light).

You are absolutely right, but maybe you know how a woman's bag can be...
Total mess!!!
I noticed myself that the lens are pretty durable so maybe I'll get over it!
Thank you for your answers!!!
I would like to have a good screen protector for my g and was wondering if anyone has found 1 yet? right now I still have the second layer screen protector that came on it. I'm getting sick of looking at all the bubbles.

I have an interim solution - purchase a larger screen protector and cut it down to size. Since this is more of a temp solution until someone releases one specifically for our device, I'd suggest keeping it cheap -- I used this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370450107891&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
It works fine but you really need a dust-free environment to install - every single spec of dust will cause a small bubble, unfortunately. Again, I would consider this a temporary solution to keep the device scratch-free until a better solution is found.
I think I can manage with the 1 that came on there until a real 1 comes out, I would think accessories are going are going to be released soon for the g tablet. hopefully

Bubble Elimination
Out of the box, mine had a terrible bubble problem and I used scotch tape and a credit card to remove the really bothersome bubbles in the middle of the screen. However, is it just me or is the protector a little big? I can't remove two long running bubbles on two of the edges of the unit.

yea i just removed the first layer, the second layer also had the bubble though. however i did what you did with scotch tape and my drivers license, but it is still no where near as perfect as i would like...especially around the edges. when i was in sears about to buy the g tablet i was asking a few questions about it. i asked if there had been many returns and if so for what reasons. this is true, the sales associate said that one guy returned it because it had a giant bubble in the middle of the screen......and they accepted the return. they actually didn't know that it was just a piece of plastic.

When I fist got mine, I had two giant bubbles and for about 10 minutes I thought it was an LCD defect. When was the last time you bought an electronic device and it actually came with a screen protector?
As others mentioned, I lifted it off with a piece of tape and that was that. In retrospect, I should have just squeegeed the bubbles out.

never with a screen protector, just the plastic that comes on it when its brand new. thats all i see these 2 layers as, i assumed the manufacturer intended on the consumer peeling them off if they are shipping most of them with big bubbles on the screen. i just couldn't believe that the guy returned it without examining it first, but what was more surprising was that sears examined it at the store and determined that it was defective. right at first for a second i was like wtf is up with this bubble but i quickly began trying to peel at the edges.
I assume it would be hopeless to try and put it back on, right? Mine looks like it is too dirty to reapply.

Do you think a screen protector is even necessary? My old PDA (Palm Lifedrive circa 2004) never had one, and I never scratched its screen. The screen on the gtablet is what? glass? plastic?

I'm not going to use one, anymore - now that I have a (messy but usable) case, I don't think its necessary. There really is a difference in screen brightness and color with the screen protector I was using.
The only issues is that the bare screen is a fingerprint magnet - will need to carry a cleaning cloth around.

The fingerprints are really something...after a few hours of browsing the forums, the tablet screen looks like some sort of kindergarten finger painting. I will say that the screen works better once you have a nice layer of grease on it!
I bought a box of Zeiss Lens cleaning wipes from SAMS CLUB. 200 little foil packs for less than $10. I keep a handful of them in the case with the gtablet.
Imho I think the grab could benefit from an antiglare screen protector. I've had one on my last 3 phones and it makes them much easier on my eyes as well as makes using the touchscreen easier. I found that with the bare glass or with a invisishield my finger would "catch" when trying to slide it across the screen, the matte texture to the antiglare protector prevents this and keeps it from looking terrible with fingerprints.

That's one of my few complaints as well. Been using an ipad stylus but it's been spotty. May just cut out the finger of a cloth glove and use it instead

I completely agree. I've had the verizon anti-glare screen protector on my X since i got it and i love it. I want one just like that. I dont mind cutting one down to size, as long as i can find one big enough to fill the whole screen

I bet if you washed it down with some soap and water it could be reapplied. I just took mine off and it seems an awful lot like the "Reusable, washable" kind I got off of ebay a while ago for an retired phone.
I made a custom case/stand out of cardboard that I am going to publish the instructions and template for when I get back from holiday travels. You could cover it with whatever material or fabric of your choice. With this I don't imagine needing a screen protector.
My tab came with a green cleaning cloth, but no screen protector like others. Hmmmm....all well, guess I will wait till real ones come out.
I found them at NuShield for $25. Look under nushield.com on the specials.php page (I guess noobs are not allowed to post links)
You can select Viewsonic G-Tablet and the dimensions match
Thinking Gorilla Glass was scratch resistant as I have seen on YouTube, I showed my friend that it doesn't scratch. I took a coin and rubbed it on the screen. I wasn't even pushing that hard. When I look, there are thin scratches from the coin! They are only noticeable when the screen is off. Except for two small ones. They are about 5 mm long and pretty thin. They are visible all the time especially when there is a white background. They distort the colour and now I'm obsessed knowing they are there. Is there any way to remove them? Such as tooth paste or some other material? I don't want anything that will remove the oleophobic coating on the screen. Just something to fill in the scratches. Thanks!
Im sure there is a polish for delicate glass. GOOGLE is your friend.

Sure it's scratch resistant, but it does not mean you should go out and rub a coin into it.
Sorta like trying out a bulletproof vest by shooting yourself...
I also have a tiny scratch right where the bezel meets the display because i droped a lighter on my prime once.
Glass will always be susceptible to scratches no matter what brand, its physics! Would be cool to have a tablet with a diamond touchscreen though. Now that would be scratch proof
I once dropped my Evo 3d with an extended battery on my prime. No scratches and that thing was heavy and it was from 4-5 feet as well. Landed screen first.

I feel your pain!
Why don't you put a screen protector on your device? First, if nothing else, you'll be sure not to add any additional scratches to your screen.
2nd, other people have posted that scratches were not visible once they put a screen protector on their screen.
I have tried three different ones, ArmorShield, Skinomi and ACase.
Really like the A Case screen protector, and it comes three to a pack, so if you mess up the first one, you still have two more (it's a dry apply screen shield)
Good luck!
Wow people really do confuse the difference between "-proof" and "-resistant". Have you ever tried submerging a water-resistant watch in water?
In any case, most touch screen devices these days are coated with oleophobic coatings which scratch much more easily than glass.

You almost certainly scratched the oleophobic coating, not the screen itself. Not that it matters really, the screen still looks scratched. Those coatings are not nearly as tough as the underlying glass. I have noticed similar little scratches on my Galaxy Nexus screen. All in all, I still think the coating is great though.

That makes plenty of sense as im pretty sure glass wont scratch from the little amount of pressure i was applying. The thing is, there are two small spots, one being around 5-7 mm long and the other being only around 2 mm long. They are mostly only noticed when a light coloured backround is on, such as the white backround in the browser. They seem to show up sort of ''Rainbowish' these ones must be the actual glass that is scratched because otherwise i doubt they would show up like that. Anyways, thanks for the kind reply!

I am considering purchasing a screen protector ASAP. Does the Acase screen protector show up in anyway? What i mean is, will the screen look any different? An example would be an anti-glare screen protector makes the screen more matte and i dont think the colours show as nicely. Thanks for the recommendations!

Those might actually be small fractures in the glass. Similar occurrences have been discussed in the My Screen Cracked (or something like that) thread. It seems like Asus may have a glass quality issue with some of their units.

How would the screen have fractured from a quarter that rubbed on the screen? That makes sense of why the scratches are deeper than the others but I don't know how the screen would fracture. Is there anyway I can try to ride these fractures/scratches? I have been searching for weeks now and the best product I could find would be "iDrops" they polish out scratches but people say it's removed the oleophobic coating. Will some sort of toothpaste rubbed into the scratch work?

No that will only make it worse (toothpaste at least). I think you have to accept it can't be 100% fixed with some paste/polish. You could contact Asus for a new touchscreen.
I've had my prime since December with no screen protector or case. i use it extensively everyday. no scratches at all on my display or back cover.
I really don't care if the scratches can be seen when the screen is off I just don't want them to be visible when the screen is on (rainbow like). As long as they aren't visible when the screen is on is fine with me. Do you know of any fine polishes that might do this that won't harm the glass or the screen?

My Prime once fell of from a bed on the floor, around 40-50cm, it didn't got any scrathes as it was attached to the dock, and was half open, though now I have a feeling the dock does not hold the tablet so tightly as before.
But what I don't like about the Gorrilla Glass (or either it's not calibrated touch detection in the software side) is that the Tablet does not detect my touches when I use the back side of my finger (finger nail), does anyone else have the same issue? Other touch devices I have (iPad and EVO 3D) detect my touches from front and back of the finger the same without issues.
I actually have a HOX with Gorilla Glass 2, but this seems to be the most active and recent thread regarding removal of scratches from GG, so I suppose it'd still be rather relevant. No point starting a new thread just for GG on a different device, right?
Yes, I babied this phone like... a baby since i got it on the first day and no screen protectors were out yet, but somehow it still got a nick(rather visible) in the upper left corner and some light scratches around the middle of the phone.
Then I found some manufacturing defects but I'm afraid they'll refuse to repair/replace my phone under warranty if they see the nick.
So has anyone found any way to cover up the scratches? Even temporarily, just to get through the chat with the assistance team? (No I can't get 3M's 06070, lowest quantity sold here is 6 quarts for ~$400. Way too expensive.)
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!

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.

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

What company the tempered glass is of?
Ultimate Shield Tempered 9H Glass screen protector
Hey guys, here is my review of the Ultimate Shield Tempered 9H Glass screen protector and I must say - I'm converted!!
Read on....(also see the attached pictures)
Contents:
- The tempered glass screen protector
- Screen cleaning cloth (wet)
- Dust stickers
- Microfiber cloth
Installation:
Be sure to do this in as dust-free environment as possible. I like the kitchen for this reason (no carpets for me there), or the bathroom works great too as you can use the steam from the shower to help any dust settle whilst you complete the install!
1. Using the wet cloth helps to give the screen a good clean removing any oily fingerprints and/or dirt.
2. The dry cloth dries the screen (don't worry, the wet cloth doesn't 'wet' it that much!) and the dust stickers are there to ensure any last little bits of dust aren't present.
You'll want to spend time on ensuring there are no little bits on your screen as this can spoil the look, at least to those who won't be able to stop noticing that little eyelash hair in the middle of the screen!
3. Carefully remove the protective layer of the screen protector, keeping the exposed glass side facing down. There is a slight adhesive, of some form, which any bit of dust/hair ending up there may be tricky to remove so make this step as swift as possible, taking extra care. Keep your thumbs/fingers away from that side of the glass to avoid any fingerprints getting stuck there, holding the protector by the side only.
4. Lower the screen protector towards your phone, but don't place it on quite yet. Really line up the protector, looking at it from directly above and I'd recommend using the camera cut out as the guide. Ensure the selfie-camera lines up nicely in the hole but also that the full length of the protector runs parallel to the phone.
5. Once you're happy with the alignment, place the protector on the screen, with the selfie-cam side down first, then slowly but firmly lowering the rest of the screen protector down. Or to say another way, press the top of the screen protector down and then press towards the lower end of the protector, until you reach the bottom speaker end.
6. Some bubbles may be trapped underneath the screen. Don't worry! Use your finger/thumbs to firmly yet carefully press out the bubbles, pressing it out toward's the edge of the screen. You can also wrap a credit card in the dry cloth, and use that as a way to force out some air bubbles.
If you're not happy with the alignment and/or have anything stuck under there, then it is possible to remove and reapply. Do this very carefully though, by using your nail to lift it up from the corner, taking extra care not to fingerprint that side of the protector. Use the dust sticker to remove any bits. Though again, be as quick as possible as whilst that side of the protector is exposed, more stuff might land there!
Impressions:
From being a long time user of the film screen protectors, those being 'wet installed' etc. I must say I have been converted! I did have my hesitations about using glass protection, as a while back I used one and it failed to impress me. Previously I had found this type of material, glass vs plastic film, would add a mirror-like reflection to the screen, even more so than the Gorilla Glass screen that the device already had. Also, with my love of AMOLED devices I found glass screen protectors would detract from the 'deep black' the screen would display, and make such colours more of a grey, which affected viewing pleasure.
But not with this one!!
Feel - I instantly fell in love with how this looked and felt. It has no loss of sensitivity and I have not felt the need to have to swipe harder or change the way I interact with the phone. It feels just as responsive as it did prior to installation!
Looks - There is no glare/mirroring effect and so as far as it's looks are concerned, it's practically invisible! The screen colours look as vibrant as they did before and blacks still look as deep as they did
Fit - As you can see I have this installed with this rugged case and it fits PERFECTLY. This case slightly lips over and so there is no dust being trapped around the edge of the screen protector. I'd presume it will also be compatible with other cases too, as it is full coverage, going right to the edges with it's own bezel, not just covering the screen.
I highly recommend the use of this screen protector, for the added peace of mind that the screen is further protected against scratches etc.
Any questions please do ask!
@cd993 thanks for the nice review. I also normally don't like the complete glas, but bought a similar one. I'm also quite happy with it except one thing which disturbs me a little bit. Mine has the black frame around it ( which is in itself not a problem) and this is taking away just a tiny bit from the screen (maybe half a millimeter on the left and right). Is it the same with your one ( from the pics it looks like it also has the black frame). That it take away a bit of the screen is only noticeable when using apps which really starting text completely on the left side ( like the netguard log for example )

Thanks! To be honest I don't think it does. I've just looked at various apps, such as matlog/play store etc and no noticeable screen cut off

Thanks, I maybe give that one a try then . Just to make clear for everybody. The app in the pic I attached in my former screenshot really starts at pixel 0 on the left side... It's really not a lot what's missing....

Thanks for the review mate!! I've used US's products before and I think they're the best screen protector I've ever used.
Ordered mine 2 days ago and can't wait for it to be delivered, I miss the sensitivity and feel that those usually have.

Email them, perhaps they'd be willing to...
I have applied this protector too....
Always had phones without screenprotector because I hate them... It takes away the feel of the phone... Bubbels underneath glass etc etc.
Bought it because I saw some scratches on the screen coming.
So after this positive review gave it a try. But man I must say it's a great quality.
Applying is very easy off course look for dust... Becaue I had one.... Took it off which is very easy to do... Rinsed it off under water....
Take two was a succes.... Didn't dry it just putt it on the phone and wipe wipe wipe and a lot of patience....and rubbing. It was bubble free.
But glad I did it.... In fact I find the screen better looking.. Bit of 3d effect...
Fp and typing is as normal.
Only con its a bit heavy....
Don't compare this to a 5 dollar screenprotector which is also the reason why I hated them.

Glad you like it! Yeah it really is a great screen protector, basically looks the exact same with it on and barely noticeable!

Is your screen protector from spigen?
thanks.
I'm using a chinese version but have some issues. The protector have some kind of bend and it causes a bubble impossible to remove just in the front camera. Because of that my front cam don't focus right.
That's the one:

@cd993 from the pictures you attached it seems the screen protector has real curved edges. Am I right or is just my impression? If you could add more pictures where we can see how curved are the edges without the case, I would appreciate.
I'm looking for a good screen protector that has curved edges so I can use a slim cover.
Currently I have a Cafele full screen protector (bought on AliExpress for 4 USD), which is good and has a nice feeling, looks very similar to this one, but it doesn't have curved edges and because of that it doesn't stick very well in the corners, if I use a slim case.
Thanks.

But can you tell me if you recall if the edges were really curved?

Hmm I remember then being curved yes, but no overly so.
Either way I certainly recommend it and fitted it great, as well as being case friendly, in my experience
