Hi all,
So this is one that seems to have had a lot of interest all over the internet. Lot's of people pointing me towards it as if it was the saviour of OnePlus 5 tempered glass screens. So I ordered, expecting the best.
AND boy did Nillkin make me wait, it took a few weeks to get here, so when it finally did the hype was almost too much to bear!
Applying it was pretty straight forward, but as soon as I unboxed it I knew I would be disappointed with the results. It's not a full body tempered glass and I'd always prefer a full body tempered glass if I'm going to bother. After seeing what happened with the SLEO Tempered Glass it was pretty much inevitable that the same would happen here.
To be completely transparent, I applied and re-applied the screen 3 times to make sure I had the best placement. This was to be completely sure that it was my placement that was off and that's why I was getting the HALO effect.

As you can see in the images above and the video below, once applied you get an always present HALO effect around the edge of the screen. Also because of the thinness of the OP5 black border the clear screen doesn't actually reach all the way across, meaning if you're wanting to tap something on the edge of your screen you may struggle!
Anyway take a look at the video and you'll see it in live action. This screen is not for me, but if you want to give it a try I've included the purchase links in the description below the video on YouTube!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Saw your tweet and then this video confirms it. I'm going to stick to my Orzly TGSP.

Yeah, my hunt continues for the perfect screen. Can't see it ending any time soon, I've also gone back to the Orzly for now!
Sigh, why can't there be a good full screen tgsp. Sticking with my orzly. Its the best of a bad batch ATM.

Clove sells a universal cut-to-fit mirrored screen protector from Echo, for £6 gbp. As if our HD's weren't sexy enough already. I'm going to try one of these. I think I'll just stick the full sheet on, then trim it with an exacto knife. But I'm worried about trimming the small receiver speaker hole. Any suggestions?
with a scalpel?a pointed one...
why not use the original screen protector as a template?
although i would imagine you will need a sharp blade, a good eye and a steady hand to not make it look like a pile of poop
i would think these protectors are meant for those screens that are recessed rather than full frontal (oo eerrr) like the HD is

I bought one of these on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Mirror-Screen-P...h=item220335185106&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
Fit is perfect (no camera hole), but the colours on screen are a bit weird and screen seems darker. Took it off after a week or so.
Ebay...

whats the screen like when backlit? is it clear? what about texture when scrolling and using stylus?
I had this installed on my HD 2 weeks back. looks nice and shiny, but thats all to it. (bought from ebay)
Drawbacks:
1. The mirror coating is not smooth all over, if u see the above pics, u will see distortion in image on the upper right corner.
2. Very Very bad under the SUN! i really have to cover it totally with my hand, or take it in under a shade to see the screen. (u win some, u lose some!) Good for a few days as a fancy, but then now i am going to remove it off and put a normal clear one again. Had it running all the time on Full brightness - load on battery too! Its good enough indoors with full brightness only, cant use the Auto Brightness control.
I have this on my wife's iphone too, which i got from Javoedge - very good quality that is, and no distortions, but it is a bit thick!
I finally decided to get the white carbon fiber ghost armor to put on my phone. Sorry for the crappy pics right now, will upload better ones when I get my hands on my camera.
What I paid: 37$ for the entire job, it was a definitely a little pricey but I think it was worth it... considering that was including installation... and that now my phone looks SICK. The carbon fiber job doesn't really offer that much protection against drops but it is scratch resistant and pretty durable. The kit will include ghost armor though which you can put underneath and the carbon fiber stuff on top.
If you guys want to just buy it and install it yourselves here is a coupon code for 20% off: Ga4life.
Here are a couple pictures:

EDIT: my bad needs to be moved to accessories section -.-
Great product. Got mine done at the mall, got a pretty awesome deal [free]. It looks awesome, but I would never try to put it on myself, and I put on screen protectors daily. It fits the phone perfect, keeps it protected, and it still works in my car dock. Mine's black, but your pics are busted, so I'll throw some in. A couple of them I was just playing with my new camera, so had to do the double color long exposure, and show it off, lol.
wth howd u get it done for free? nd idk if this one peels im thinking about the black one!
Read the sig, it'll make since. I don't think you'll have a problem with it peeling, mine is on there very well, and shows no signs of degrading in any way, and I've had it on for over a month.
I don't understand why the kiosk at the mall in CT says they don't make them for the gs II. They claim nothing will stick to the textured back yet the ghost armor website clearly sells them.
Wtf.

Ok... after having a tpu cover for several months i finally took it off and gone nekked.. it's my day 2 and boy it sure does feel pretty good in the hand and i'm loving the fact that i can always glance at it and admire its build quality and the overall looks of it. Although don't get me wrong...even though covers serves your cell extra protection from slippage, nicks etc it still won't prevent it from damages like scratchess and i'm just not a fan of slight bulkiness. what's your take on this???

I have a tpu case myself and as much of a keep it bare kind of guy HTC did a stupid thing with making the touch screen higher than the body itself. But the tpu case I'm a fan.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!
I have a TPU cover with translucent back that shows the rear and HTC logo. I mostly have it on for work and when working out. I go naked whenever I go to restaurants or out in public and just slip it in its Nexus One like "Andy" pouch.

What's up guys!
Long time reader and advice-taker, first time poster (as far as I remember ) so I figured I'd make myself useful and review my setup right now. Over the past year and a half my EVO 3D has seen its fair share of drops and scratches. I finally decided to invest in a case, so after having read many reviews I decided to buy the Seidio SURFACE case with kickstand, along with a Banggood privacy screenguard for kicks. After having had the case and screen protector for two weeks now, I'm extremely satisfied with not only the quality of the two, but the new aesthetic appeal to it. The matte of the case matches perfectly with the matte look of the screen protector, making it look like a COMPLETELY new phone. I immediately starting receiving compliments from my friends who would say things like "Whoa, what phone is that?" and "Did you get a new phone?" who had seen what my banged up phone looked like prior to the case. Along with this newfound aesthetic appeal is the functionality of the case; the stand is sturdy and provides multiple viewing angles (a feature i thought I'd never use but actually do) and of course, the case protects the phone. It has survived a drop or two knick-free. For a total of around $30 I'm extremely satisfied.

Hiya Mate
Looks slick , have just ordered 3 of the screen protectors and about to order the case , one question what is the view like when the screen is on

Many Thanks

Hey guys,
Got this from Devilcase - a taiwanese case manufacturer.
Just fitted it, seems nice and high quality. Aluminium, with rubber pads in strategic places where it makes contact with phone itself

8bit, apologies for the late response.
I got it directly from devilcase at their website. http://www.twdevilcase.com/en/
Yes, I also got their full coverage screen protector (its in the photo if you look closely).
Overall, the alum frame is really nice, top quality, and perfect fit, but it does make the already large phone a little larger. Small hands need not apply at all.

You sold me on it :victory:
I'd like to ask if the bumper affected your reception? And does the tempered glass have some halo effect around the boarders? Got my Nillkin tempered glass and was so disappointed. After installing it, I just removed it. So much halo effect haha
