It is simply amazing how trashy most of the oneplus 5 screen protectors are. Just ordered idlehands tempered screen protector (goo.gl/i9x6xS) and it didn't fit as it claimed to (even the preview pictures show this!). The blacklines on the protector are spaced enough and go cover up part of the display! Most others are apparently trashy and low rated.... Anyone have luck? Having removed my factory screen protector, my screen is now vulnerable!

Orzly is the best one I got out of 3 I tried. If the black lines on the side cover any if the screen at, it's very very minimal.

The lines fully enter the onto display, which immediately makes my display area a few (about 4-5 from my own judgement) millimeters smaller. This is unacceptable imo.

You should see the first glass protector I got, it wasn't even close with how much screen was lost.
But from what I've heard, even the official OnePlus glass protector covers the screen on the edges, doesn't it?

it's the same with any 2.5D screen. every single SP is gonna have a flaw of some kind.
Any non glass/film that you recommend?

Assuming your referring to the Orzly tgsp, I'm surprised with your comment that it covers part of display screen. In the review video from the post in this XDA section, the review shows the Orzly installed and the bootloader screen displayed. The bootloader's left side text gives zero room for a screen protector to overlap and the video, to my mind, shows zero overlap of the text. Are you positive you applied it as well as the reviewer?
I've order the Orzly and am waiting for it to arrive so hopefully I'll get the same results as the reviewer and a couple of the installers who had zero rainbow effect. If it doesn't work out I'll be going back to a film screen protector as I've used on my devices for many, many years. The Orzly is my first tempered glass protector.
I'd like to echo the calls above: any good experiences with any plastic SPs?
I was happy with the preapplied SP, but I was putting some stuff (nice beermats I was nicking from a pub!) in my pocket and I managed to lift it on the bottom right, and it got covered in pocket crud straightaway. So I replaced it with the official OP TGSP, which I'm sort of 80% happy with. I have two (v small) bits on the right edge where it won't stick to the screen, and the borders covering the display bother me, particularly when I can't see the scrollbar to show me where I am in a page. Fond memories of my Nexus 5 and its perfectly flat display, I only ever needed one TGSP and it fit like a dream!
So what I'm looking for is ideally a) a TGSP with no border, as close to edge-to-edge coverage as possible without unstuck bits at the edges, and full screen adhesive so no rainbow effect. Failing that, option b) a plastic SP with coverage as good as the original preapplied one. Any tips? Preferably ones available from Amazon UK.
Many thanks in advance.
For me plastic SP are way better in looks.
Also never took the original one from OP devices.
But what's the plastic SP offers to OP5?

Not completely sure about the Orzly, but the screen protector I got is very similiar. Do tell me if the black edges (lines) go onto the display or not. I have provided a link to the amazon store for it (do note I cannot post links due to this account being new)

Yeah, I got it direct from OP as part of a bundle when I got my 5. I already knew it covered part of the display though, it says so clearly on the product page on their website. The one advantage it has over third party ones is that it's fully adhesive, so no rainbow/dot effects.

Here is a link to the Orzly tgsp on YouTube. Starting at the 4:27 mark he boots into the Bootlader screen and checks for screen protector display overlap.
I'll surely post my impressions once I get the Orzly tgsp myself but the video would probably give you all the info you need. Also here's the Orzly's amazon link and the XDA thread for this product. There is differing opinions but on the whole it seems like the only reasonable tempered glass option for the OP5.
I'm willing to try Nillkin's one ... I saw there is already a review of it in this forum, but I think i'm still gonna try it as it has no black border ( hate that ).
But still, from all reviews so far, Orzly SP looks like the best SP currently
I've always had great results with Skinomi, both their TechGlass and TechSkin. They currently don't offer the TechGlass for the OnePlus 5, but I just finished applying their MatteSkin protector and it installed perfectly . If they ever do release the TechGlass for the 5, I'll be picking one up.
Edit: I emailed Skinomi Customer Support about a TG protector and received this reply.
"Hello,
Thank you for your interest in our products.

The Nilkon one sucks.
I received it yesterday, 1 side does not stick whatever you try, glass does not cover the entire screen so you get an horrible rainbow effect since the screen protector edge ends still on the display..

seems to be the only one that is good so far... even with its flaws (oil/rainbow stain, fingertips on the glass, ...)
Just on balance: Phone manufacturers (lots of them) have gone with this 2.5D curvature and obviously it's a tough thing to make the perfect fitting cover out of glass, so none of them are going to be perfect. What's the obsession anyway? It's just a protective cover. I've had the Orzley for a few weeks and it works great. Since mostly people with bad experiences are posting in forums (go on and check out any thread and see how many threads are saying "this works fine!"), you can't tell much from this thread except to only stack up bad experiences. It sure doesn't attract dust or prints.
Here's my experience: I applied it using the "steamed up bathroom to settle dust" technique, it took maybe 45 seconds to apply, went on perfectly. It is designed not to overlap any case, and only to "meet" the visible part of the screen. Yes it's close, but not as bad as the OP one. I've never heard a tap from the glass protector. I've never seen a color or rainbow on it, nor any dust underneath. The edges are sticky after 2 weeks. If you think about it, no adhesive that is removable is ever going to be able to hold down a piece of cut tempered glass in a way that doesn't create at least a bubble somewhere, not that it's a big deal. I don't think I've thought about the screen protector once until I read this thread after I applied it.
For some of us, the Orzly works fine. I'm going to take a wild swing and guess that I'm not the only person that this SP works for. I've used it with two cases and it works perfectly with both of them. One is a bumper like case from OP https://oneplus.net/oneplus-5-silicone-protective-case, and the other was one I got for nothing with the OP (A folio case?) . I'm fairly sure the Orzly will work with any case because it doesn't extend over the edges.
If you are one to believe every bad review will be your experience then just stay with the factory applied plastic. It works fine but you'll likely have to clean it pretty often since the fingerprint attraction is high. Other than that, it's fine. It might not help you if you drop it as well.
Iqshield. Good coverage, smooth feeling. I like their products

So after experiencing first hand the poor figment of any tempered glass screen protectors I have deiced to create this OP. I have purchased 3 types of plastic screen protectors from amazon to see which if any will be a suitable replacement. I figured if I buy some and they are terrible I can always return them.
1. Mr Shield clear:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OD...416363968&sr=8-1-spell&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
I had high hopes for these after buying them for my Nexus 9 and having s good experience. The ones for the Nexus 6 are a far different story. The fitting is so poor they cant cover my display. I believe that these were cut very poorly because you can't align them properly to fit even with their tiny size. They have a nice feel and are easy to swipe back and forth on while using the office but if they can't protect my screen then there's no point in having it. (Pictures coming soon)
2. iSmooth:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O3OSBHI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416364063&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
3. icarez: (coming Wednesday)
These looks just the the Mr Shield screen protectors above, except they are packaged better and come with better instructions. The downside is that they are again cut very small. I have learned that this is due to the curved nature that the ends of the display have, but its rather unfortunate that we are left with a screen that can't be fully protected. These also have a better feeling that the Mr. Shield protectors.
4. Spigen Crystal:
http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Spi...533171&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+crystal+nexus+6
These are the best plastic screen protectors by a long shot. The fit and finish is far superior to any of the other brands that I have tried thus far. They are very thin compared to the other 3 I tried above. The costing allowing your fingers to slide across it with ease for people who prefer the gesture typing. The screen protector does cover the camera, and proximity sensor. Don't let this discourage you because they both work fine on my phone. The fit is much closer to the curves without causing issues. There is a fix for people with proximity sensor issues in the tempered glass OP. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a nice quality screen protector.
Update: from what I have seen, the Spigen is still your best bet. I have a couple as backups and I couldn't be happier. TG has been and still is very hit and miss but you can't go wrong with the Spigen Crystal screen protectors. I have no issues with my proximity sensor for FFC and its the only screen protector I've used since discovering it.
feel free to add your own choices and a brief description about the quality and whether or not you would recommend it.
I got the iSmooth protectors. A little difficult to install, but quite good once they're on. They feel almost like glass, they have a coating on them to prevent fingerprints too.

i ordered the invisible defenders. should be here tomorrow just ahead of the phone. never used them before as i've always gone with spigen, but since they're not shipping until next week i went with these. from a spec perspective, they sound every bit as good as the spigen crystals. i'll find out tomorrow/friday

Let us know how they are. The Spigen ones are good from past experience ( I won't buy their TG again) I hope they are offered with prime to make shipping faster.
I was planning on getting a glass protector, but after reading several posts here I see that is a bad idea.
I normally bought Zagg with my S4, but I'm not really sure what kind I want to get with my new Nexus 6. I absolutely HATE finger prints so anything that gets them easy is a no go for me.
for anyone that bought from SuperShieldz on amazon they just sent me this:
Dear Customer
We would like to inform you that the nexus 6 screen protector we sent to you is incorrect for the camera lens. The proper one will be send to you on Next Monday. Sorry and we apologize for any inconvenience.
Best Regards,
Ann
I would stay away from the iSmooth screen protectors. Received mine today and they are not properly aligned for the front camera as the protector covers it. Only reason I'm not returning is because I need something on the phone until the other screen protectors I ordered arrive.
My Xtreme Guards had the wrong camera cutout also. If all these companies have the wrong cutout, were they given the incorrect dimensions from Motorola when they all started cutting these out?

According to iSmooth, yes that's exactly what happened.
Thank you for purchasing our Nexus 6 screen protectors and writing a review on your experience with them. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced thus far with our product. Since we are extremely fanatical about our customers, I wanted to reply back to you so I could explain the errors behind the engineering of the Google Nexus 6 screen protectors.
I will point out that in order for us to get to market by the Nexus 6's launch date sometimes we have to make an educated guess with our screen protectors. This time, we failed with our cutout design.
Below are the key points that will point out where our screen protectors were either botched or made to fit this new device and the reasoning behind it:
1.) The cutout for the camera is a full camera width to the left of the actual camera -- this is obviously a mistake. However, the clarity of the screen protector will still insure that the camera is NOT affected by the screen protector. It is just customary that the cutouts exist. However, there will still be a little notch for no reason on your screen protector. We sincerely apologize for this error.
2.) The screen protector will NOT go "edge-to-edge" but that was done on purpose as there is a curved edge on the Nexus 6.
3.) If it did go "edge-to-edge", then the screen protector will lift up on the edges as it would not properly adhere to the curved edges.
4.) We decided that 95% coverage on the phone was better than having faulty screen protectors.
5.) Our screen protectors were also meant to work with cases which means if we DID cover the edges of the screen, then the case would force the screen protector to lift and cause a lot of bubbling and ruin the screen protector.
Please know that getting a revised cut of our Nexus 6 screen protectors is top priority at iSmooth - our customers are our #1.
If you would like to receive these updated screen protector cuts when we receive them, please email [email protected] with your name, mailing address and Order Number. When we receive them we will promptly email you and mail those corrected screen protector replacements out post haste with absolutely NO charge to you.
Or, should you need anything else or have any other concerns at all, kindly contact me at that same email address - I sincerely want to help and make this situation right by you.
Have a nice Wednesday and I hope to talk to you soon,
Channele

I'm updating the OP it appears like there will be no good screen protectors that are edge to edge with the exception of wet install ones which are a nightmare. I wouldn't risk a wet install with FF speakers but that's just me. I may just get a dbrand front skin to cover the gaps.

Thats what I am worried about the most. The speakers are rather large and I've had bad experiences with wet install screen protectors. They killed my LG G Pad 8.3 (even when I barely put any solution on it, some managed to get into a small gap). Anyway I guess I'll see what else is available.
i just need any of the three screen protectors i ordered to show up. This POS one they put on the phone out of the box is killing me. I swear, would it kill moto (or any other manufacturer) to at least put a half way decent one on the device out of the box?

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.

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-
http://www.amazon.in/CEDO-Samsung-G...ems&ie=UTF8&qid=1489471980&sr=1-4&keywords=s7
I've been reading all the threads in the forum after I brought my OP 5 yesterday (supposed to arrive to me in the next 2 weeks) and I cant find any solid recommendation.
There aren't any brands making screen protectors to our devices and even less reviews.
-I saw people saying to stay away from the original screen protector made by Oneplus due to the few millimeter lost cause by it.
-I looked on the Orzly screen protector and it looked quiet well but after searching the web I saw multitude negative reviews due lack of adhesiv, dot metrix and rainbows showing up on the screen. but some other who claims the protector is completely fine
In conclusion: In the Glass screen protectors section, there is no good product that will be fine with guarantee ?
If so, there is any other kind of screen protector (not glass one's) such as Skinomi or IQ Shield that are recommended?
I have to order any kind of screen protector as soon as possible before my device will arrive.
thanks for your professional support !
Every single option, glass or TPU, sucks. The best option is the non-glass protector that ships applied to the phone. Baby that one as long as you can.

Still the best, even covered in 2" of lint lol
As much as the screen protectors suck, the Orzly is stil the best of the bunch. I have it installed with no rainbow effect in the middle. Again, I think this is a case of people who have the issues are the ones you see. It depends on how you install it I guess. I know a few others who have also installed it without the rainbow, but I know people who have installed it and have had the rainbow. At least it is a fully screen protector, that doesnt cut off a millimeter of the screen basically, and at least they aren't a company that blames the user for obvious issues with their TGSP *cough* Oneplus *cough*
Take it from someone who has been through 5+ different screen protectors... About the only one that was semi worth a damn was Orzly. You run into ones that don't fill the entire screen and leave the edges exposed, don't stick, cover the front camera or ones that just flat out don't end up sticking. I wish I didn't end up taking off the one that the OP5 came shipped with but oh well lesson learned. As I said as of right now the only semi decent one is Orzly but even that one I had issues with the glue towards the edges peeling so the screen wouldn't respond because the protector was coming off the screen a little. Still though - Orzly or Manufacturer screen that was originally on the one are your best options at this point.
I really like the IQ branded film protector. I've had no problems with it and I only really notice it when I swipe along the edges and feel the film.

I'm using the clear one. It's definitely not as smooth as glass but it's smooth enough. It's more smooth than a glass screen without a oleophobic coating. Fingerprint residue is minimal. The only case I have is the sandstone one from OnePlus and I have no problems with it.

Using the clear IQ protector here too. So far it's the best I've found. I've used the official TGSP, Orzly TGSP, and a couple other cheaper TGSPs. The wet application film screen protectors are the way to go for this phone it seems. Helps a lot with finger prints and I haven't had any issues with it not being slick enough.
think ill just go nude and use a thick case lol. haven't had any scratches on my s8+ which also has gorilla glass 5.
man do i hate how all phones have curved glass of some sort.
Damn those curves.. Let's hope that maybe in a few weeks we will finally get a proper screen protector.

I went and removed the factory installed protector, it was a bad idea. Now I have small hairline scratches on the bottom right corner. I've now ordered a tempered glass in Amazon to hide the scratches.
The one that came with the phone is fantastic imo. I haven't enjoyed tgsp since my nexus 6p because of the 2.5D curved glass craze, no tgsp fits any phone good anymore. Axon, Samsung (ROFL, you thought OUR screen was bad?) , I haven't looked at the screen protectors for the G6, but the screen doesn't appear to be 2.5d so that's a step in the right direction..
When my stock screen protector gets unusable, I'll buy the 30$ crash guard from rhinosheidl ?????? Just to see if the hype is real...
Unless someone already has photos of it....

No idea whatsoever, my stock screen protector from oneplus is still in fantastic shape, so I don't imagine ordering four a couple more months at least.
The ones for the oneplus 3 are 13 dollars on amazon, and ship with prime in the US.. So I imagine in a few weeks the price will become more better.
I've recently seen this on the taobao site. GOR branded TSP. I've used their flat ones on other phones and am quite satisfied with the performance. They have 2 versions, one with the black border, one with a edge sealant sort of thing. I'm planning to get the sealant version next month since my option to add items for cheap shipping is exhausted for July....
If anyone's in China or has bought one, some feedback would be appreciated.

Has anyone bought this yet that is on XDA? I just purchased it and should get it Monday. The reviews look like it's pretty awesome, especially the customer images of it.
I'll definitely report back with pictures and case compatibility. I have the Orzly Fusion and Sandstone from OnePlus.
Pictures are down in the post.

At first I heard the popping noise, and was like oh no... But then I used a hairdryer and pressed down a little bit and it's no longer popping. The protector fit perfectly, each cutout was in perfect alignment, and the cutouts are smaller than the Orzly which makes it look a lot better without having huge areas for error. The glass itself feels great, not quite as good as the actual screen but close.
I definitely recommend it after these first couple of hours.
The second picture (taken outside) with the Orzly Fusion case, the first (inside) is with the One Plus Sandstone case. When I switched cases, the popping came back, so that just means the Fusion case was holding down the sides enough to keep it all stuck down, which works for me as I rarely have my case off.
I can update again later on if anything happens. I've already broken 3 TGSP already.... Haha

Thank you, I am curious how it would come out. The pictures don't show the halo or oil effects because the screen is off and to the side in the reviews!
I wouldn't just look at the best reviews to be honest, you're always best to get a feel for all the reviews, especially this one:
I was looking for something with full coverage and the 3d edges, which this has, but after 1 day there is dust under the screen protector and it makes a clicking noise when pressed in a majority of the bottom 1/4 of it. I'm using the oneplus silicon case so its not an issue with the case pressing against it and lifting it up either, and it's lined up very well, as this isn't my first screen protector installation.

That makes it sound like it's similar to the Orsly protector as in it looks great at first but then the sides will let in dust. Also, some of the names in those top reviews look dodgy and are probably fake accounts, they're all one single name like "Sally", Amazon doesn't follow those naming conventions, it's usually "Sally.B".
I'm guessing it'll be great at the start but you'll have problems with it adhering to the edges and you might hear clicky noises and have lack of responsiveness according to the less than 5 star ratings, let us know though?

Definitely. I'm still using my cracked Orzly right now. I'm scared to take it off cause it's my 3rd TGSP I've had (2x from Orzly and 1x OP TGSP [lasted 2days]). With that track record, my screen is bound to get shattered.

I've got an Orzly on mine just now with dust under the edges and an official TGSP from OnePlus still in the box cos I want to wait for the Spigen Neo Hybrid to be released and don't really want to use it until that's bought and on the phone.
It seems to be an issue with all of these protectors with the black surround, they only have adhesive on the edges so don't always keep it attached to the screen and dust ends up getting under the protector because it's flexed when you hold the case. Really think OnePlus needs to have a look at their screen design with the next phone and try to work better with these manufacturers' protectors.

I whole heartedly agree. Looking at how mine is cracked, it's almost aligned with the volume up/down button (two cracks btw), and the crack that is all the way through the protector aligns almost in the center of my volume down button... Which we have to hold down to boot into recovery manually... Which I do a lot. I have the fusion case from Orzly, which fits perfectly with the screen protector. I'm starting to think it fit too perfectly, and the pressure from holding volume down and power button at the same time caused the cracks.

It's not at all about working with these TGSP manufacturer's. It's the stle of glass they are putting on the phones (2.5d glass). ALL phone OEMs need to stay FAR away from 2.5d glass. There is no reason EVER to use 2.5d glass. This is why the TGSP don't work with the phones. This all started with the Note 4. You'd think these companies would learn not to use these type of glass on the phones.
I received the TGSP early. Soo...here up. The pictures. It is pretty awesome, not gonna lie.
At first I heard the popping noise, and was like oh no... But then I used a hairdryer and pressed down a little bit and it's no longer popping. The protector fit perfectly, each cutout was in perfect alignment, and the cutouts are smaller than the Orzly which makes it look a lot better without having huge areas for error. The glass itself feels great, not quite as good as the actual screen but close.
I definitely recommend it after these first couple of hours.

No rainbow, at all. No dots either.
With the no dots though, its causing that popping sound. It's not that bad and not noticeable at all with the case on.
This might sound pretty ridiculous, but it's really reflective. I don't need a mirror anymore.
Update.
I am noticing some small dots now, and I've had my case off all yesterday and today and very minimal popping.
This TGSP is really clear. I really like it. I still recommend.

does it have adhesive across the entire glass or just the black edges?

Not the entire glass, which is causing the popping as its not very sticky.
been using it since last night. It's OK.
It is a quality piece and does cover the entire screen. Doesn't hinder screen usage (that much) but I don't like the bubble (more like air gap) between the screen and protector as only the blacked out edges adhere to the glass. and yes it makes popping noises and finger taps are loud too. Using with spigen rugged.
Its weird but not bad. I'll still probably end up switching to something that bonds to the glass. Any suggestions?
Mine has gotten a lot.... A LOT of dust under the screen near the fingerprint sensor, and going up. I'm going to take it off tonight and wash it with water and see if there is something that can be done with its unstickiness to make it better.
I can confirm that it is not compatible with the OtterBox
I also bought this tgsp only found 2 issues
1 lack glue so don't stick very well and makes poping sound when touch the screen ( I'm thinking on putting some glue, but don't know which one don't harm the screen)
2 the bezels cover like 2-3 pixel lines at lateral edges like op3 official curved does.
I'm using it with J&D cover and fits perfectly, as mentioned in post above, is not compatible with OtterBox case
Hey guys,
Thought I'd share my experience with this screen protector.
I've tried damn near all available on the market (tempered glass specifically) except the official OnePlus tempered glass. None were up to par. They all only have adhesive along the edges only which imo is a poor desicion. I see no plus to this.
The ones i tried all got dust under in a matter of days, and some even fell off completely after small drop tests.
Although this spigen is not a tgsp, it's is worth every penny. Application was easy, the wet application makes it to where alignment is 99 percent perfect. It covers at least all of the lighted display, of course it doesnt follow the 2.5d curve.
After application it took a couple hours to clear up any haziness that remained after squeegee/drying process. Don't apply too much pressure as I seem to have wrinkled a corner.
All in all, very satisfied with the product and will continue to buy after they get ugly...unless they make a perfect tgsp im the future.

It's pretty much the same as the one comes pre-installed on the device.
Hoe does this protector goes with dust? Not underneath, bit on top? The pre installed protector is a real dust catcher ...everything I get the phone out of my pocket I have to clean the screen from dust

Its far less of a dust/lint magnet. Id say 80 percent less attraction.
I just bought this protector as well, and installed it today.
It is exactly the same size as the pre-installed protector, which personally I like. That avoids issues with the curved screen, but is still large enough to protect the screen adequately when using a case. Of course the second benefit is that this is a case friendly screen protector. I have a cheap black TPU case similar to the spigen rugged armor, and they fit together without issue.
This is one of those healing/indestructible type protectors that have been around awhile, like an IQ Shield. I have used these on older devices, although I upgraded to TGSP on my last phone. I would have bought a TGSP for this phone, but apparently, the manufacturers have no clue what they're doing. I do like this type of protector. It is a wet application. This protector makes the screen appear slightly textured when viewed from extreme angles, but not much viewed straight on. I need to give it a full day to dry before I get too critical of it. The package came with two, and I'm likely to use these until a decent TGSP rolls around.

Yup, forgot to mention that. Still don't have any cosmetic problems with the film. Even the wrinkle I mentioned in the first post has corrected. I can actually see the film "heal" when I scratch it with my nail intentionally.
1 day followup: All the bubbles have disappeared. There is still very mild visible distortion that is present with every protector of this type. It doesn't bother me, but screen clarity perfectionists will probably complain. Again, its not a TGSP, but its great for what it is. No other issues.
Really waiting for it to get released in Europe.. So far only America, India as far as I can see. :/

You could go for the ultimate shield, which is basically the same type of screen protector.
Unlike the spigen it covers the whole front, I mean the area below the fingerprint scanner especially.
I don't know if there is any difference in thickness or coating.
The ultimate shield also has the same "orange skin effect" that was mentioned earlier in this thread, but u will barely see it when using your phone.
How's the scratch resistance on this one? I'm on my last Orzly TGSP, which lets in dust from ever side, I'm looking for alternatives that at least don't scratch.

After a quick clean an inspection i noticed one single micro scratch. This is since day before original post.
Just installed this today. Haze from the liquid went away within hours and so far so good!
There is an "orange peel effect" and it doesn't feel like glass but those are a given, and expected, so no points off for these two things.
It's much better than any tgsp that I've tried, simply due to the fact that it's edge to edge. I couldn't stand
1. The lack of adhesive on the sides
2. The sides being significantly cut off
The "wet install" allows for you to have a perfect install as well, as you can slide it around and adjust it perfectly, before finally setting it in place.
I'll see how it holds up over time and will update this post if anything unusual happens with it!
I will also try and get some pics soon (if I remember lol)
For those of you with this screen protector, how did you end up aligning it correctly? There's a small amount of space around each cutout and I found with my initial installation that while those were lined up, with the Rugged Armor case installed I had a small gap on the right side.
Amazon's instructions say to install with the case already on but Spigen's does not so thought I'd ask how others got theirs to line up correctly.
I installed one of these tonight. I did it with the Spigen case installed, and centered the protector on that. Waiting for it to cure and lose the bubbles. It didn't look that bad to start and 3 hours later it is looking better.
At this point I would pay a premium for flat glass! I just don't enjoy these phones like I used to without a nice perfect TGSP!

I removed the case and wiped it down with the cloth. I left it out of the case to dry / cure.

For those of you with this screen protector, how did you end up aligning it correctly? There's a small amount of space around each cutout and I found with my initial installation that while those were lined up, with the Rugged Armor case installed I had a small gap on the right side.
Amazon's instructions say to install with the case already on but Spigen's does not so thought I'd ask how others got theirs to line up correctly.

On the Spigen install video at install.spiegen.com for the case friendly S8, they show putting it on with the case on. That's what I did. Spigen calls it full coverage but compatible with Spigen case.
After installing it then removing the case for drying and curing, the bubbles disappeared after about 18 hours, but I have one piece of trash trapped. After putting the case back on, it seems compatible but the film goes out to the border of the Spigen case without touching it, except it barely touches on the bottom. It is a very close fit, I believe putting it on without the case would cause problems with alignment.
Overall not bad, it is easier to align the film with the case on. The touch feel is OK for me.
