Otterbox Achiever + Stock Screen Protector Advice - OnePlus 5 Accessories

I've been reading/watching many different reviews regarding tempered glass for OnePlus 5 here and in other websites.
Currently, it seems that there isn't a decent full-covered tempered glass .
Should I just order Otterbox Achiever and just retain the stock screen protector that OnePlus 5 comes with until a decent full-covered tempered glass comes out? I know that case and screen protector protect different parts of the phone but I don't want my future phone to be defenseless.
I'm willing to listen to your suggestions.
Thank you!

Tempered glass is great, rellay protected many of my phones. Currently I have a Orzly tempered glass on my Oneplus 5, I also bought an otterbox but it raises the glass. It sucks that one has to choose between otterbox protection and tempered glass protection.

I also want a tempered glass but the reviews on Orzly are bad. I've read that it's only good at the start but as hours or days pass by, dust will get under it or the glue will start to come off, etc. There were also reports of rainbow effect.
What's your experience?

I have some rainbow effect. The biggest problem is that it is not compatible with the otterbox. The otterbox raises the orzly tempered glass. Does anyone know of a tempered glass that works with otterbox? I guess some do but that is the kind which has black frames that cover some of the screen.

I think there's no otterbox-compatible full-cover tempered glass right now. That's why I'm thinking of dropping the idea of tempered glass for now and just buy otterbox.
I'll just change case when there's a good tempered glass.

I've gone the route of the Otterbox and the Nilkin TGP which isn't ideal as it's not a full screen protection (but is full adhesion with zero rainbow) BUT it covers the majority and the Otterbox will do the rest.

If it is alright, can you give us pictures of your OP5?

I have an Otterbox and temper glass. I watched a YouTube video comparing the temper glass with a lot of cases and validated that it fit. I feel as though his review was solid and honest and I've been happy with the combination and would recommend it.
However, I do see microdots in full sun exposure but it's not enough for me to complain about. It doesn't pick up finger prints or smears either. I do see from time to time an "oil spill" effect but it goes away after being out of my warm pocket for a few moments. Afterall, then adhesive is only around the edges so this oil effect is expected to me.
I put my protector on as straight as I could however, I could have done better (does come as a two pack) Thus, maybe once a week I do have to reseat the case because it does appear as though the case grabs on to the glass only by the volume rocker, which already is the most flimsy part of the case. Again, not a big deal for the added protection that I want and it rarely happens. Besides, you should be cleaning your case once a week anyways so there.
Hopefully that's helpful. Here's the YouTube link-
https://youtu.be/Ei4woZ7ZRJU
I like to note that the Spigen case supposedly works too however, I haven't broke down and bought one yet.
If anything, not to hijack, I wouldn't buy an Otterbox. It's too filmsy around the volume rocker. It needs a harder TPU shell.

Sadly only other photo taking device I have is my PS Vita so quality isn't great but you can clearly see the edges etc, fortunately the protection of the Otterbox gives about a 2mm lip as well so likelyhood of hitting the unprotected parts is slim.

No worries. The pictures are still clear.
Hmmm. I'm a heavy watcher of anime in phones when I'm traveling by bus or train so I guess, I'm gonna pass with Nillkin.
Thank you very much!

Yeah understandable, it's annoying that there seems to be no perfect solution to this, I've heard the RhinoShield Crash Guard is a possible assuming you also put a skin on the back to protect that.
I'm happy with the solution I have as I feel it gives the best possible protection right now, although appreciate it's not ideal for media consumption. Good luck in finding what suits you best :good:

Yes, I agree. It's kind of disappointing that it's been months since the release of OP5 and there are still no decent tgsp.

should i remove the screen protector?

I find that the (plastic) screen guard that's provided with this phone is a major smudge magnet. I'm thinking of removing it. I'd like any feedback from anyone who has already taken it off.
Cheers.
UPDATE: I went ahead and got 9H Glass cover. 2-pack for $8 on Amazon. Immensely better than the plastic this phone ships with. I highly recommend doing this, even if you don't personally see a problem with the plastic cover. I promise once you see the difference you'll agree it was worth it.
So happy I posted this question.
Thank you all for your responses!
There doesn't seem to be an oleophobic coating on the display because they expect you to keep the screen protector on. So taking it off might result in even more smudges. Personally, I didn't find the screen protector that came pre-installed to be a smudge magnet. I actually found that it reduced them. I'm not saying the protector necessarily has an oleophobic coating, but that I didn't have a problem with smudges on it. The only reason why I took mine off was because there was some black dust underneath the screen protector and I couldn't get it back on without more dust appearing under it. So I just removed it completely. You might have to buy another screen protector of your choice that will better repel smudges to your satisfaction.
I've taken mine off because I scratched mine with a paper towel (like wtf?) but now I wish I haven't, because things stick to the screen easier. So unless you have an alternate screen protector ready, I'd recommend not.

Thanks. This is information I didn't have. I have a couple of other devices with no plastic cover; I don't have the smudge issue with them. But if there's no coating on the h5, then it's probably best to keep it on.
Buy a tempered glass protection, that's cheap and protect very well the screen (ebay, amazon, aliexpress bangood, etc....) keywords : phone name + "tempered glass" or "9h"

Had various of those. All broke either in my pocket or by a slightdrop (dropping it on the table from like 4cms high. It doesnt protect against smudges very well. Got a plastic matt screenprotector. Tempered glass is a waste of you money in my opinnion.

Plastic is not the same feel as glass on the fingers (don't know how to explain it better in english), and it scratch must faster.

Bought a generic 9H on eBay for 1€
I also have a transparent silicone case for the same price
I also bought the Nillkin 9H, but the other is still good so....
I took my plastic screen protector off the moment I got my tempered glass screen protector. Couldn't really remember how the original one felt since I only had for a very short period of time. That said, I recommend taking screen protector off for something better.
The stock screen protector is trash, all it does is act as a fingerprint magnet.
I did go to a Nillkin 9H. Wow - 90% reduction in smudges, and it is more sensitive than the stock plastic. Dropped the phone a few times, no issues. I do have an iPacky thin case, and it shows the abuse of daily use, but survives fine. It is also very thin. The thick cases defeat the whole purpose of our slim beauty.
I found that replacing the factory plastic screen protector with a high quality glass screen protector makes it a little better in terms of less fingerprint smudges and protection.

i took it off and you get some scratches but not allot. if you look at the jerryrigs video he tested it and its as strong as gorilla glas. So you can take it off. i took mine off because there was a huge scratch in my screen protector and i could not live with that.

I would wait to get a tempered glass, just to prevent any scratches on the LCD

I have literally never used any screen protector and have never had issues. However, YMMV. I immediately took off the screen protector that came with it. I did buy a nice cheap protective case from Amazon prime. It has enough lip to protect the screen and I always make sure not to put my phone in the same pocket as my keys or sharp items.
using honor 5x without screen protector since months, no scratch at all.
bt the back side got a couple of scratches from my bike keys

Best Clear Case and Screen Protector for the S8

So I'm getting my S8 today but I still don't have anythong for its protection.
1.) What is the best CLEAR case for this device that gives it basic (slim but not too slim)? I also want to have that raised lip for the fingerprint sensor in the back.
2.) For screen protectors, is Temperd Glass recommended for curved devices? If so, which one is best?
I want to have the total cost for these at a minimal as I don't feel like spnding a lot just for the these basic accessories.
Thanks for the help!
Well I wasted almost 30 bucks on screen protectors and the only thing I can say is DO NOT buy any 3D tempered glass that is supposed to cover whole front. The main problem here is the adhesive which is located only on edges of the protector. There is air between screen and protector, which sometimes decreases touch responsivity, forcing you to apply some pressure in certain areas so that the input is registered. Also, most of these 3D glass protectors collide with many cases, so they simply don't work. Personally, just go for some decent case that will secure your device from drop, like RhinoShield or Spigen Neo Hybrid. If you care about design and don't want to lose it, go for something clear and thin/ultra thin
I bought a Baseus case from eBay and lobe it so much. So thin and light and matches perfectly. They are in Amazon too.
Also works with my Darth Vader skin that I have on the back so it still shows that off.

So are you saying not to go with any screen protector at all? Does this apply to the usual "flimsy" screen protectors as well?
Definitely do not buy any harted glass. I have ordered 3D TPU film that has adhesive on whole surface it will ship on thursday so I will tell ya if it works or not

I strongly thinking of going back to no protector. I tried glass and the White Stone dome one was great except the glue on the side kept chipping out and looked terrible. I've got a film protector on now from Best Buy Canada and again it feels so crappy compared to the naked screen. If I remove it I'll still be careful but I do have insurance just in case. I already don't use a case (only a skin) for the very same reason...that I want to enjoy the feel and look of this beauty, not cover to up to protect it for someone else in the future.

I did that with my HTC 10 for a year for the same reason and it has no scratches or micro-abrasions at all. I think it's pretty safe to assume the S8 will be no different. As for going caseless... I wouldn't recommend that for a device mainly made of glass lol. Check out the Supcase review I just posted and try it out if you like. If not, return it or at least you'd have something to put on your phone when you're going somewhere or doing something that may cause you to drop it.
Buy yourself genuine samsung screen protector tpu version and genuine samsung light case.....or silicon case genuine.... all goes 100% together.

Right, I don't have a doubt regarding their genuineness. It's just that there are other screen protectors like the Spigen Neo Flex that costs $8.99 for a 2-pack as well. Same goes for the clear cases, there are others that are significantly cheaper than the Samsung. So I'm just wondering how do these fare with the official Samsung ones. Any thoughts?

i absoultly love it, its offer all the feature's im looking at case (thin, clear and lift on top and bottom of the screen)
im gonna order the Spigen liquid Crystal as well. as the reviews says its very good case. (remindes the Ringke features)
I'm using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I think it a great case. I had the same one on my S7 Edge for a year.

I just finished installing the Whitestone Dome tempered glass screen protector. Initial thoughts so far is it's the best on the market hands down. Make sure you check for case compatibility before you purchase it though. The price is a little steep at $45 but well worth it IMO. The adhesive is under the entire glass and uses a UV to cure. Clarity and touch performance seem to be spot on. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Z...+galaxy+s8&dpPl=1&dpID=51W7ozwV4HL&ref=plSrch

Me too, in Midnight Black color! Very elegant and nice.
Haven't understand yet if the clear back will become yellow or not in time...
About the screen protection, I'm a tempered glass lover. Since I've been using them I've saved all my old phones.
I've tried some curved glasses on my S8, but finally the Zagg Sapphire Curve is available in Europe and I've ordered one!
I know, it's not glass, but it's supposed to be harder then glass, and got now it's the cheapest solution for having a protection this good that adheres to all the device's screen.
And I've seen that it's case friendly and that not that bad in touchscreen sensitivity!
Will let you know

The Spigen ultra hybrid on my S7 Edge stayed pretty much clear the year I had it. I'm using a Armorsuit Military screen protector. It's not glass but it will do for now. It's really difficult to find a tempered glass protector for a curved screen. It seems like all if them are junk. I wait and let others experiment until there is one that really works without issues.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XXTRWBL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For clear case, my recommendation would be the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear or the Otterbox Symmetry Clear. The otterbox is slightly chunkier but not much.
As for a screen protector I've tried the Samsung official one and the Spigen Neo Flex.
The Samsung one is a dry application and therefore is extremely difficult to get on right without dust spots. I tried it on 3 different phones and didn't get either of them right, even with the dust removal sticker.
The Spigen Neo Flex is a wet application which is far better cause when it dries out it leaves no dust spots or air bubbles. But imo the corners aren't a perfect fit for most cases. Again I tried a few and even with Spigen cases the corners lifted on all of them. A little trimming of the corners with a scalpel solved this. This protector isn't as clear looking as the Samsung dry film but is of the "military material type" and so self heals with any minor dings and scratches. I'd trim the corners a little (follow the contour of the corner and trim off a mm or two) before applying this for best adhesion on all corners for a case. It def has a slightly different feel to screen but at rhe moment I think this is the best solution of at the moment to protect out precious S8 screens.
Hope this helps.

Are they any good screen protectors out there?

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....

Any idea when the crashguard is shipping. I don't wanna drop that type of money without looking at reviews.

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.

Its says in the description, "Not edge to edge protection. (NOT FULL COVERAGE)" so there is no false advertising

I'm using the GlazedInc Curved Tempered Glass on my note 7 pro. It's Rs.450 but it has actual 2.5D Curved Edges (Unlike the typical flat edge glass) and the black borders don't intrude into the display. Have done a detailed review on the channel so you guys can see the same.

I tested this today and have to say really impressed for now.
It works solid, fits well, handling is nice, not too heavy and decent sturdiness. The glass screen guard is great as well and display is not impacted at all.
See pictures on how it looks.
This guy did a video on it. Watch if you know Hindi.
For the tempered glass, I got "Micvir Edge To Edge Tempered Glass" from Flipkart.
It's good; has a proper cutout for the earpiece and doesn't block the notification led. Doesn't come with screen wipes though.
Still looking for a case.

How has your experience been so far? Do you have the side edges of the display slightly cut off because of the black borders on the screen protector? Any other comments?
Best tempered glass
glazedinc tempered glass is the best one it's quality is good as nilkin glasses, it's full glue and it has a real curved edge which perfectly aligns with the phone's 2.5d curvature, but it's only available in their website.

I ordered this armour type case from Amazon.in for ₹ 439. Hard, durable build and fits well too. Has a ring holder in the back which can be used as a kickstand too. Not too much heavy like the other armour cases. Display is protected too with around 1.5mm raise and camera lens is protected too. I would recommend this case to everyone.

These are all same generic tempered glass. Just the seller is changed. If you want best protection, buy something from nilkin. Glazedink also make pure edge-to-edge tempered glass. They are worth the money.

Question Tempered glass screen protection with the official Samsung leather case

Hi all,
I have a spigen neoflex TPU protection on my s23 ultra, with a plastic spigen case.
I've bought an official Samsung leather case, and it seems really nice.
But, the neoflex is a bit to short on the sides, so that my finger feels the border of the screen protection every time I swipe left or right.
So, I would like to replace the neoflex with a tempered glass protection.
Do you know one who will fit well?
I have had a really bad experience with an Oppo find X5 pro : I've tested 5 tempered glass brands and every time my beautiful official Kevlar case unglued the tempered glass in the corners...
Thank you for your help
Whitestone dome or Spigen have been the best in my experience.
Avoid amfilm at all costs.
I have domeglass with leather samsung cover. In my opinion everything is fine. Of course glass not cover full screen and is about 1,5 mm smaller than all screen - safe "bumper" for covers.
I have too spigen optic armor and with domeglass is perfect fit, no one gap between case and glass but I seldom use this spigen.
Since S23 Ultra has a curved screen, I dont really think you should get a tempered cause either they dont cover the curved area or if they do, I dont really trust the protection they offer. For Curved Screen, I suggest getting a Screen Protector Film just to be safe. There is a Full-Body Screen Protector from Gadgetshieldz that covers the screen and other parts of the device like the sides, back and camera. Cases dont necessarily help with the scratches cause Ive seen multiple devices getting permanent marks inspite of the cases mostly due to the dust and things. So best to keep everything protected with either a Skin or a Full-Body protector. They also provide Skins if thats what you prefer.

Exactly, I saw too. Refers to people who don't pull off case for months to clean

Yaa I swear. All my previous devices had this issue. Ive used the best of the best cases and they still have these tiny scuffs which are permanent. This reduced the resale value of my devices and thats when I opted for this Full-Body Coverage cause I really dont mind spending a bit more to avoid these permanent damages. Im thinking of getting it wrapped with Skins next time.
So I am happy with still good stick fabric foil around frame .
Sometimes better use only minimalistic covers, not too bulky and happy with device than see scratches or crack after more time with angry tell "what was it for all this protections"

Both screen protectors and skins they provide barely adds any bulk. they are literally as thick as a sheet of paper and I dont think you can go any thinner
