Hi guys, which do you think is better? Matte screen protector or tempered glass? I don't really care about the clarity though, just smooth. And for case, any to recommend which does have sufficient protection? My ringke fusion transparent has been destroying my flash..
I'm also looking answer for this. Anyone can advice?
For screen protector, I use Gearmaxx tempered glass, which I absolutely love. Keeps the premium glass feel, but also offers drop protection against the screen. It also does a great job neutralizing fingerprints.
For a case, I use incipio dual pro which offers great drop protection, but doesn't add too much bulk. The black version of it also keeps the high end look of the device.

Or you can buy a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector, I bought mine for only $15, and it's absolutely worth it, orders of magnitude better than regular screen pros.
And BTW, matte screen protectors actually reduces screen quality specially in high ppi screens, so they are a big no no.
Are tempered glass 9h "matte screen"? Also, do you have protector glass for the back or do you have a casing for it? It seems there is some issue finding the right casing which allows the charge flip cover to open and has an opening for magnetic charger.

They are not matte, but seem to have a little bit less glare than the "naked" screen. They feel like the original screen, but due to the special coating are harder to get dirty and easier to clean. I used to have a matte screen protector on PDA few years ago and it was a nightmare in terms of screen clarity - pixels were distorted.

OK... The main reason why I'm looking to buy a tempered glass is get rid of it being a finger print magnet.. The protection added is nice too.

It is much better with glass screen protectors containing oleophobic coating (probably most of them, if not all). As they are so cheap, just purchase one and try it..

Most of the tempered glass protectors which I've seen had oleophobic coating. For example:

Hey everyone!
I read everywhere online that the 3/3T and the 5 share *very* similar screens. So similar, in fact, that they may very well have exact identical dimensions as well as being 2.5D.
So...with that in mind...
Anyone think the 3/3T screen protectors will fit the 5? Cases won't since the 5 is thinner, but maybe the SPs ?
Thoughts?

I think the phone is gonna have the same problem the 3t had. There won't be any good choices. Even the official one for the 5 has the same black border that caused blocked pixels on the 3t official tempered glass screen protector. Are those black borders really necessary?

Yeah, I know. For my 3/3T, I had finally *settled* on a Best Skins Ever (same as ZAGG) since it would stick everywhere and had no halo effet. Not glass, but still not so bad.
There's nothing out yet for the 5 so I was hoping to order another 3/3T Best Skins Ever for my 5.
Different screen protectors.

does the "best skins ever" screen protector and the body protector stick on the 3T properly?
i tried tempered glass and regular screen protector but all came off on the edges because of the 2.5D.

It does. It's very nice, much more so than half-assed 2.5D glass protectors with halo and dot matrix effects.
Can't speak for the body protector as I'm only using their screen protector (I use a Spigen case for the body).
If you have ever used ZAGG protectors, they're the same.
They're a wet application, as well, so that's something to consider if you're not cautious.

Whole screen covered, yes.
I'm at work right now and only have my own phone as a camera, so when I get back home, I'll use my extra phone to snap a pic and share tomorrow.

If it's the same as Zagg, does that mean that it has the orange peel effect too?

Yes, same orange peel as ZAGG. I don't mind it too much, though, as it's not that bad, but definitely nowhere near as nice as a tempered glass SP.
Here's the pic that you requested

Here's a picture of my OnePlus 3T with the BSE on.
It's been applied for about 5 months, now, with general use.
There are no bubbles, I just couldn't be bothered to dust it before snapping the pic

I hear you on the orange peel... On my "flat" screened phones, I always use glass SPs, but since the OP3/3T were curved, I preferred orange peel over having ****ty halo effect and dot matrix and lifting corners and what-have-you...
I wished the OP5 would have a flat screen, but alas, it's not the case

So there's no perfect phone? I was looking at the S8, but I don't like the curved screens. The Oneplus isn't curved much is it? I'm very sensitive to light and have to use an anti glare screen protector or else my vision goes double.
I wonder if @intelliARMOR will develop a screen protector for the OnePlus 5. Got their products for my old Nexus 6P and the quality and customer support was simply amazing! I've seen they already have a protector for the 1+3, maybe they'll update their intelliGLASS for this occasion.

OnePlus screens have been working fine for me, however I simply wish it was easier to find decent glass SPs.
Maybe OnePlus 6

Agreed, their glass SP was perfect on my 6P. However, the 6P also had a flat glass screen, which the OP5 does not

I can confirm the official TGSP for the 5 has the same pixel blocking issue. I didn't own a 3/3T, but I did just look up the photo of what you mentioned, and sure enough, I've got the same issue. Wish Orzly would make a completely transparent one like their one for the OPO (rocked it from October 2014 until now and it's been perfect).
Hello,
I'm looking for a good film screen protector, I'm not a fan of tempered glass. I got some protectors off Amazon, but they are really bad. As in they don't look uniform, rather porous, especially when observed in sunlight. Plus it's difficult to slide the finger, impossible if the finger is moist for whatever reason. The most annoying thing about them is that using OP gestures navigation hurts my finger, because the protector's bottom edge is rather sharp and the finger hooks on it. The factory installed protector was good, but it was easily scratched in the pocket and I had to replace it.
People tend to recommend one from Gadgetshieldz, can someone confirm it's free from the mentioned downsides?
use protectionfilms24 web site. they have good quality film
You should try Gadgetshieldz
I can confirm that it is the most amazing screen guard you will ever use. I have been using it for many years now, And I do not recommend any other brand. I have experienced it for years now. That product has no downside.

Did you got a casefit one or normal?
Personally I've used Skinomi skins on my last two devices because they're case-friendly and because Skinomi truly will send you free replacement screen protectors for any reason. I like the one for the 6T because it doesn't include a thin strip of material above the front camera and rather follows the bottom of the teardrop shape. The downside to skins like these is that any really narrow sections quickly stretch out and become disgusting, but the Skinomi skin for the 6T doesn't include any such segments.

Hello,
I found Spigen screen protection, but I don't have more idea.
I only suggest Gadgetshieldz because it has more good reviews and users.
Has anyone use liquid screen protector on the LG V60? I'm more interested in the screens for the second display. If so which kind did you use. Thanks in advance for your response.
Sounds like a waste of money. Magic liquid that keeps a rock from breaking your screen. The glass protectors are best. But you cant use two. It wont close right and will eventually damage the hinge. I use one on the secondary screen because it gets flipped to the back and the phone is often set down on it. I use a flexible plastic screen protector on the main screen. Even a thin plastic protector has a tint but of give and can protect against impacts to some degree. At BEST a liquid screen protector will be like a. Car wax. It does a little something but is nowhere near what a piece of glass over your screen does. At worse its a bottle of rubbing alcohol.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking glass on the main screen and film on the other screen.

I use glass on both and just never "shut" the screen. I always fold the screen to the back when I just want one display. To me the front screen is completely worthless and I'd prefer having glass on both.
That's an option that I hadn't considered.

Every glass screen protector I've tried so far is raised on the edges and has a halo effect I can't stand it. Which ones are you guys using for the main screen and does it have the halo effect?

I don't think the screen is curved. I ordered a regular glass screen protector from Amazon and I get no Halos at all.

Hi, I find the standard transparent cover that comes with mi 11 lite too thick, it makes using gestures difficult since the edges stick out too much. Anyone found a thinner transparent cover that does not stick out beyond screen?
Thanks

Then you can try a screen guard which is thin enough for you. I bought one from Gadgetshieldz because they provide a liquid screen protector which also covers the back of the phone and gives good protection.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I probably wasn't quite clear, I would maybe attempt a thicker screen protector to avoid the case sticking out beyond the screen protector.
Or preferably get a thinner case, the enclosed protection case is too thick for the nice thin phone. So where could I find one?

I suggested this because it is the thin transparent cover you asked for, visit the website so you can get an idea because it is a self-healing protector as mentioned on their website.
