I would urge you to ditch the plastic screen protector that is provided with the phone and get a premium tampered glass protector. Not only does it make the screen view much better, as well it makes handling the phone much easier, and something this phone deserves.
have you any photos of this tempered glass on P10?
Just google "Olixar Huawei P10 Tempered Glass Screen Protector".
Although it left 2-3 mm bubbles around the edges of the whole phone, which isn't nice, the bubbles looks like grey dirt, and I can't remove these bubbles. Might be looking for another brand like Zagg or something equivalent.

These bubbles are the cause why I don't replace the screen foil ^^
I use an screen protector like i posted in the oleophobic thread. No bubbles or anything here. But i don't know if it is sold somewhere outside the Netherlands.
I think these manufacture has improved over these years in producing protectors for curved glass, probably the latest trend is a normal glass protector and they include a tube of liquid adhesive to squeeze along the edge to cover the gaps, I check a few out to try, although they are not available for purchase out of hong kong or china, so I cannot provide a link, but I think places like ebay or amazon will have them available but at a much increased priced.
@ the ops, I too removed the protector, the supplied one is a good quality one, but I had a speck of dust underneath, and wasn't sure if it was dust or bright pixel. I just used one of my Sony XP protector and cut to shape for now untill I get a proper one.
Any suggestions which company do good on the p10?
I've tried two brands.
LK branded glass screen protector from Amazon UK. The fit was good, the black border blended in perfectly on my P10 black. But there was a big rainbow patch in the middle. I complained, the service was excellent, got a replacement no questions asked. But the new one also had a rainbow patch, even bigger!
Then I gave up and ordered a different one. An OMOTON branded one, also from Amazon. This one was all transparent glass, no gaps around the sides, and covers the whole screen width. It's a little short, ending with a gap at the top and bottom of the phone. However, the screen is so smooth to tap, and the brightness and colours so much better than the LK protector.
So I would recommend the OMOTON. It doesn't offer full protection, but I pair it with a simple tpu case with a lip, and it works quite well together.
Thanks for the help. Tomorrow a PULESEN, (via Amazon) will arive. If it is not that good, I go for your recommendation.
I ordered a GlasRitter protector by tradelis via eBay Germany.
It doesn't fit perfectly - the hole for the home button is around 1mm too low.
Also the glass looks like a mirror. When I'm outside at sunny weather it's really annoying and when I'm in the dark with a small light source, like a bed light, I can see myself.
So, don't buy this - it's oleophobic, but the rest isn't that good.
But it's the only one I found which covers the whole screen including the small area under the home button. Without this I don't want a protector. I need a full protector. Any recommendations?
After killing the first one of PULESEN with dust, I was able to figure out how to place the second one. It was not that easy but currently I am satisified.

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.
An out of context question, what are these four stripes/white lines located on the top and bottom side of the phone for? Just along the charger and speaker in the photos below-

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

An update, I used my phone with the Samsung Gear VR yesterday and when I removed it the protector from the upper side of the phone, where the front camera is got removed I tried to paste the same but it is full of bubbles now . Is anyone else using GS's protector with VR?

Correct it is not. I use the Otterbox Commuter and Otterbox Defender so this is not an issue for me particularly. 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-

Hi all,
I'm looking for a good glass screen protector that covers the whole screen (usually they are ones with a black or white border), but I'm really struggling to find good makes. I tried a protector from LK, but the glass was pretty cloudy and had a 'rainbow' effect raising our from the centre of the protector, it also turned out to be a disaster to remove, with the strong adhesive leaving adhesive marks and shattered glass as I tried to remove it!
Anyone else had any experience with other protectors and could make a recommendation?
I tried the 2 from Nillkin, but only one had full coverage with black edges. The glass was fine, but the edges looked cheap and tacky.
There is a video of full screen glass on YT and the guy that posted the video has posted videos here (unofficial Huawei), but he's just a shill and has no interest in answering questions, just promoting products.

I use Mofis tempered glass (full coverage). It's working like a charm.

He called Jozinek in this forum.
---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------
A friend of mine got this brand, he got it from china, it's called called smartdevil, although it's only a OEM brand, anyway, it includes a frame for accurate placement of the protector, full coverage glass protector with about 1/2mm rim to accommodate a case, liquid filler to fill up the sids rim.
no link will be provided unless you intend to flight to china to buy it, just to let you know they are available so may be some searching you can find it online or similar item since it's only a oem product.
I also had a horrible experience with the LK screen protector. Rainbow effect in the middle and really annoying adhesive at the top and bottom. The transparent screen itself was also not very clear.
I then switched to an OMOTON brand one and it is amazing! Fingerprint and smudge resistant. Fits perfectly, full coverage across the screen. Looks sturdy. Cutouts perfect. Only downside is that it ends a bit short at the top and bottom, so still exposed there unless you use a case with a lip.
Avoid LK, and give the OMOTON one a try.

Glad I'm not the only one with a bad experience with LK. Looks like the transparent Omoton protectors that don't cover the full screen are easy enough to find, but I'm struggling to find the full coverage one where did you get yours from?

I got my OMOTON screen protector from Amazon (prime delivery - fulfilled by Amazon). You're right, it isn't full coverage (smaller than LK's one). But its close enough to full coverage if you have a tpu case that has a good lip.
Yesterday I got my Omoton tempered glass (Amazon.co.uk), and I am dissatisfied - the glass does not fit properly on the display (air space on both sides)...
This is Nillkin's. Similar size* but adheres perfectly (sorry for crap picture).
I also tried their 3D version (full screen) but it makes the phone look very cheap.
*Actually the Omoton looks wider.

What was it about the 3D version you felt looked cheap? Was it easy to remove the screen protector?
Right now I'm using the GhostShield by TechGear. They are relatively cheap and difficult to install, but after watching a video on installing them, it was a little easier. They are extremely thin - almost invisible and are self healing, but any dust caught under the protector will result in a bumpy surface. I'm also not entirely sure how great the protection is they offer. My Ringke Fusion case started lifting the to corners of the protector, but I think I stretched the protector (really easy to do with a membrane protector this thin!) slightly as I tried to get the bubbles off the surface.
Still looking for the best solution to protect my screen...

The plastic borders. It was very easy to remove as the plastic borders don't really have much in the way of adhesive.
I will try a Cafele next, when I can be bothered to order one.
Just got both of these two delivered from www.taobao.cn
first one is a anti blue ray with installation frame for exact right positioning and liquid filler for those air gaps along the edges of the protector, the second one is a normal tempered glass protector as a two piece package with the same accessories.

I got Omoton full coverage tempered glass but i am afraid its not compatible with silicone cases? It is good screen protector but sadly not ideal for cases.
It looks like cases lift screen protector on edges slightly so air gets underneath... Any good screen protectors that are not full coverage so i can still use case?
I bought the nilkin glas but the black borders around the screen protector takes a lot of screen space, I don't recommend it!
Sent from my VTR-L29 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Benks have a really good one, it's a full coverage with white or black boarder (adhesive covers throughout the whole glass, not just the edges), just like those on the iphone, it curves and cover the edges.
Benks have two version, KR PRO this is also full coverage, glass & plastic sided and XPro+ full glass coverage.
I am using the Benks XPro+ full glass cover and I think it's great. It's a 3D glass screen protector, covers the screen perfectly, right to the edges, with no air bubles. Also it has an oleophobic coating.

its a good product, i just got a spare one yesterday incase I need it, slightly cheap than my first one.
When I first got my S8+, I was worried the back glass would scratch easy (turns out I was right ), so I wanted to protect it, even though I knew I would have a case on it. I've seen dirt get between phones and cases before and cause horrible scratches.
I first tried a clear wet application skin from BSE, but I could never make it look right. The midnight black shoes every imperfection and bubble, whereas my wife's Orchid Grey looks perfect with the skin on. You can't tell it's there, even on the sides.
So I began thinking it would be nice if someone made a tempered glass protector for the back. The sides are curved, but so is the screen, and there's plenty of TGSPs on the market. But I couldn't find any.
Then last week I saw one on Amazon. It comes with a full screen TGSP, a TGP for the back, and a TGP for the camera. Link is below.
It appears the back protector is like other TGSPs. It has no glue on the middle, just along the edges. That's not a big deal, as I would apply it like I did my TGSP. I would remove the adhesive strip on the edge and use LOCA to adhere it fully to the phone. Most camera lens TGPs get horrible reviews on Amazon, so it would likely go in the trash.
I'm trying to decide what to do. Here are my pros and cons, but I wanted everyone else's opinion, and also want to know if anyone else has any experience with this set. Again, I'm currently using a TGSP for the screen, so this is a question about the TGP for the BACK.
Pros:
*Protection for the back cover as well as the front.
*Protects from scratches and adds some drop protection
*Protectors are both glass, so it would still feel like a naked device.
*Back protector is Crystal clear, and with LOCA, would show off the beautiful black back glass without any bubbles, glare, etc.
*Glass doesn't get marks and dents like wet application protectors.
Cons:
*It would (probably) be too thick to use a case, so increased chance of damage if dropped.
*These TGSPs typically use cheap oleophobic coatings, so it would still be a fingerprint magnet on the back.
*This would leave a ridge around the screen and the back protector, so it MAY make it uncomfortable to hold.
*No protection for the side frame
*It will scratch (but can always be replaced
*I wish the cutouts were more precise. I'd like three separate cutouts for camera and sensors, not one big one. Would make it more seemless.
Again, looking for other thoughts and opinions and any experience.
No offense, but if all you have to say is that you go naked and have no scratches, or that you don't like screen protectors, then please don't reply. I'm not interested in a screen protector debate. I'm only interested in your opinions about this particular set and using a protector on the back. Also, I know about the liquid nano stuff and have no interest in it. I've seen all the reviews.
Thanks!

I was thinking about the same thing, this post is very helpful.
Mr Orange, I am thinking on the same lines as you were. Did you end up buying the JimBird TGSP? If so, what are your opinions of it and how well did it work for you? It seems like something simple to offer, but so hard to find. Thanks!
My current phone is a Nexus 6P and I have been using a Spigen case + an intelliArmor tempered glass screen protector. Both products are excellent and I have been thrilled with them (and the phone), but the battery is starting to go on me so I figured it was time for a replacement. After some research I settled on the XZP (G8142).
I was able to order the Spigen case for the XZP, but intelliArmor does not make a screen shield (that I can find), so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Supershieldz before.
I looked at getting the Skinomi skin and just using the part for the screen along with the Spigen case, but I really prefer tempered glass.
Looking forward to my first Xperia phone!
** UPDATE **
The protector, phone, and case all came in. The Spigen case is top notch as expected, as is the phone itself.
The screen protector is also fantastic. I tried putting it on the recommended way (using the guide stickers), but I could never get the right alignment using this method. I ended up free-handing it and lining it up as best I could, and I think I got within a half millimeter or so of a perfect application (the bottom is perfect, the top speaker is slightly off but not enough to be annoying or obstruct the speaker). There were absolutely no air bubbles to smooth out, which surprised me.

Both products are excellent and I have been thrilled with them (and the phone), but the battery is starting to go on me so I figured it was time for a replacement. After some research I settled on the XZP (G8142).
I was able to order the Spigen case for the XZP, but intelliArmor does not make a screen shield (that I can find), so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Supershieldz before.
I looked at getting the Skinomi skin and just using the part for the screen along with the Spigen case, but I really prefer tempered glass.
Looking forward to my first Xperia phone!
** UPDATE **
The protector, phone, and case all came in. The Spigen case is top notch as expected, as is the phone itself.
The screen protector is also fantastic. I tried putting it on the recommended way (using the guide stickers), but I could never get the right alignment using this method. I ended up free-handing it and lining it up as best I could, and I think I got within a half millimeter or so of a perfect application (the bottom is perfect, the top speaker is slightly off but not enough to be annoying or obstruct the speaker). There were absolutely no air bubbles to smooth out, which surprised me.

Is the adhesive just on the edges of the Tempered Glass? Is there some oil-like residue between the screen and glass?
I purchased a very similar Tempered Glass protector to the Supershieldz version and found the adhesive is just on the edges, top/bottom/left and right but the entirety of the screen, where the border is not is free to flex and obviously, with the gap that exists without adhesion has an odd oil-like residue, which many users reported.
I have had my XZP for a week now and have not even used it because I want a proper Tempered Glass protector which has received good reviews, along with a folio/wallet/flip case which has a strong latch/magnet to protect the phone overall, along with waiting for a DRM/TA fix before I stop using the Z5P and move onto my XZP.

Mine has the glue on the edges but there's no oil or anything in the middle.
It looks very similar to the Supershieldz one, might even be a rebrand. It's under the brand name "Panzer Glass".
It works pretty much flawlessly.

The one I purchased is very similar also, but has the cut-out where you can see the Sony 'logo'. Reviews are poor for those, everyone has observed the same issues as myself. I have purchased several other Tempered Glass Protectors, still waiting for them to arrive, different styles and brands to see which is the best fit with the best coverage. I will report back.

I didn't actually notice if the adhesive was along the edges or the entire piece of glass, but it seemed like the whole piece had adhesive when I peeled off the protective plastic before applying.
I have been using the phone with the protector for about two weeks and here are my observations:
I have moved my thumbs with ample pressure across the face of the protector to see if the glass shifts or moves. It hasn't budged.
No oily residue or weird artifacts.
The fit is quite nice. Without a case, the edges would be noticeable, but with the Spigen case on you can hardly tell there is a screen protector.
In bright/direct sunlight or when you hold the phone in bright light just right you will see a grid of dots on the LCD screen - I don't know if this is because of the protector or the screen itself. It doesn't bother me as it is not noticeable the majority of the time.
My account is too new to link to external sites, so just search supershieldz xperia xz premium on Amazon and it should come up.

Appreciate the feedback. I have just taken possession of a Muvit Tempered glass, it is clear without any borders but just the same as the rest. Everyone I have tried thus far has adhesive only on the edges, the larger portion of the screen is free to flex and move and due to that, requires a firmer press and in doing so, you hear a crisp packet like noise, a sort of crunching sound. Really annoying me now, but it is due to the curvature of the screen that we are seeing a lack of good quality glass protectors. For the Z5P I found P-Think on Amazon to be the best, yet to find any suitable candidates for the XZP.
I will order a double pack of Supershieldz soon.
I was just curious that how many of you use your phone without any protection? I just started using like that and it feels really nice. The hyper-cut diamond finish gives a good grip to the hand.
I really like the feel of the phone in the hand, nicest I've had to hold, and is the only phone I ever use a case with...I just know if I leave it out the case there will be an expensive accident.
I use it without cover but with a glass screen protector
I don't use any glass or cover. I buy nice designed phones to feel the nice full metal unibody with a slim design.
If i would like to feel any cheap, fat plastic body i can buy a phone with a cheap plastic body.
I use xtremeskins UK sticker on top of back of my phone and plastic film screen protector as the one preinstalled has worn out. I have black carbon fibre version of the sticker with red accent on camera lens (which actually matches power button colour ) it looks cool and gives that extra grip.
Here is a link to website:

You can see for yourself how will your phone look like before you buy the actuall skin. The quality of a skin is amazing ,it's hardly add any bulk to the device and it does make it feel better in hand as well as add that extra wow factor when you pull out your phone from pocket.
I received my P10 on Thurs 07/12 and wanted to get a few opinions on whether i should remove the factory fitted screen protector prior to applying a glass screen protector or if i should just clean the factory fitted protector with the alcohol pads/swabs provided and stick the new glass screen protector on top?
Does the factory fitted protector reduce the clarity/sharpness of the screen in any way?
Would this be adequate:

Kind Regards
I'm using the original Huawei Flip cover and a full glass screen protector. As an electrician my hands aren't clean Everytime I grab my phone and sometimes I need to put some tools in the same pocket as the P10 is in.
But I hate the glass protector even it works very well. There's a black border around the whole protector and after a few month the protector doesn't fit perfectly anymore, it moved a bit to the left. The transparent part of the protector is a bit smaller than the screen and this is kind of annoying especially know it's moved.
I don't want to use a protector, but I think I need one. I don't want an ugly scratch on the screen.
Hi,
I removed the factory installed film in the screen and replaced it with a matte IQ Shield protector. It's great. It's not glass, but it has no reflections. Like most laptops.
