Any glass recommendations for the BLU R1 HD device?
I am looking for the same. I found some on AMZN but dont know if to bite the bullet on them.
Amazon Screen Protectors
Honestly I wasn't going to put one on, because for me it's just a cheap backup, But after one day of use I already have a few very small scratches on the top right hand corner, Gorilla Glass 3 isn't doing great and my OCD is already bothering me.
If I get scratches on the actual screen area I'll lose it lol
On Amazon their are three choices and honestly they very well may all be manufactured by the same company based on the listings
BLU R1 HD Screen Protector [Tempered Glass], Popsky 0.26MM Ultra Thin 9H Hardness High Definition HD Scratch Proof Premium Screen Protector Glass Protective Film $8.50 w/ Shipping
[2 Pack] BLU R1 HD Screen Protector, Nearpow® [Tempered Glass] Screen Protector with [9H Hardness] [Crystal Clear] [Easy Bubble-Free Installation] [Scratch Resist] $9.99 - Free Prime Shipping
BLU R1 HD Tempered Glass Screen Protetor, Vikoo Scratch Proof 0.26MM Ultra-thin 9H Hardness Shatterproof High Definition HD Ultra Clear Screen Protector Glass for BLU R1 HD Phone - $8.30 with shipping
They are all 0.26MM
They all have 2.5D edges (which should match better with the 2.5d screen
They all have oleophobic coating
They all list Anti scratch/shatter/explosion.
My advice would be that if you want a backup protector and have prime go for the second one, otherwise the last one is 20 cents cheaper and most likely they are all the same screen protector just repacked by different companies which is extremely common. For a buck and some change more I'll probably go with the second one and let you know how it goes.
I ordered the one from Nearpow. I will update this when it comes in and I install on my BLU R1 HD.

Looking forward to your review as I'm looking at that one myself.
I got this one early on.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I61Y33Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When I received the product, it didn't look like the one in the picture. Honestly, the shape and the cut outs looked like the other ones you listed. Fit was horrible. The Blu has a lot of curve and the edges weren't able to seal. Lots of lift around all the borders. Hopefully, these other ones are better.
Any updates on best screen protectors, no scratches yet, but i have saw a post or two about how easy this screen scratches.
The one I purchased arrived last night and I took off 6 for a .99$ plastic protector that I bought. That protector never say well so I gave the glass a try. Unfortunately the glass one sat just as poorly. Where the cut outs were for the camera and the LED the glass did not fit flush against the phone and showed as it was lifted.
I have taken both off and am just using the phone naked.
IMO
In my personal experience *most* screen protectors are created equal. My sister bought one off Amazon for 10$ and I bought one for 1.50$ on Ebay, When they arrived her's was in a fancier box but inside the boxes they had almost exactly the same contents. I tried scratching mine with a knife, and it didn't scratch (so it was glass). I'd say it is worth the risk (only 1.50 shipped in the same time as amazon one)

I bought the nearpow one and the fit was awful, because of the 2.5D glass it just didn't adhere on the sides at all and it wasn't even close to full coverage. I've chosen not to worry too much about the screen, it's a $60 phone.
I just bought a cheap case that has a bit of a lip to stop the screen from touching stuff. If I place it face down for example.

Same, because the phone screen is not square in the sides the protector don't adhere like it's supposed too
Does anyone like the nearpow ones from amazon? I bought the box with two of them but haven't put one on yet. I'm wondering if it's even worth trying since reports so far don't seem to good. I can see where it might be more challenging to make them for a screen with rounded edges. I have two of the phones now and like them very much so am interested in protecting them.
I purchased this one:
"BLU R1 HD Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Vikoo Scratch Proof 0.26MM Ultra-thin 9H Hardness High Definition HD Ultra Clear Screen Protector Glass for BLU R1 HD Phone"
from amazon.
Does not fit cleanly.
Given all these reports I am beginning to wonder if these are even tested or manufacturers just assume it will work once cut out to size.
Sadly, i'm just joining in the bad news. I purchased the Qosea Ultra-thin 2.5D 9H Hardness Crystal Clear Scratch Resistant Tempered Glass Screen Protector for BLU R1 HD and so far it-s the same result, it doesn-t stick on the edges because of the curvature of the screen. I'm still using it because i don't want to ruin the screen so i'll be waiting for the confirmation of a tempered glass that actually fits the screen properly.
I'm a bit baffled reading all the comments here and on amazon. It truly seems like nobody tested these things. I-m starting to think there are fake commenters because each glass protector have at least one 5 star review telling about how amazingly fits. Followed by nothing but unsatisfied people.
I have had mine since release and it's still in good shape. Don't see a point in getting any protector for such a cheap phone.
Well it's not exactly tempered glass but the reviews are better as to fit. Apparently it's a hard plastic. I'm getting this phone for my kid so something needs to go on there becasue he's not exactly not clumsy.

I am considering picking up a OnePlus 5 since they have the student discount right now and am wondering, what is the recommended tempered glass screen protector and case to protect the phone.
I love Nillkin tempered glass screen protectors for the OnePlus One, Nexus 5, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but it seems they really dropped the ball on the OnePlus 5. The screen protector doesn't even cover the whole screen! Then there's Orzly which covers the screen but the quality itself is not as great. So who does that leave then? What would you recommend?
I also don't know what case to choose. I was thinking of picking up the Nillkin Super Frosted Shield Matte case, but I wanna see what other alternatives XDA likes.
To be honest, the Nillkin is probably the best at the moment, it's got full face adhesion unlike a lot of the others which only have adhesive on the black borders, which means the main screen hovers slightly above the phone's screen which gives a rainbow effect when you use it. It's also compatible with pretty much every case because it's not pushing up against them like a lot of the others. The only thing about it is you can see dust around it as it doesn't reach the edges but this doesn't affect it's use and can be cleaned with a good wipe (I recommend these).
Spigen cases are nice but seem to be the worst for lifting the edges of any larger screen protector (including the official one).
The official screen protector from OnePlus is not compatible with the Otterbox case so remember that when you make your choice, both companies have stated this.
As for cases my personal favourite is the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I just love the way it looks.
I agree with @djsubterrain. Go for the Nillkin.
But if you want a tgsp which covers all of the screen, I recommend you this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-automatic-adsorption-tempered-glass-t3660494
This tgsp is full adhesive, not only on the black borders. It fits perfectly with the sandstone case from OnePlus.
If you go with glass screen protector, don't get any of the ones that go edge to edge, they all suffer from the same problems such as dust getting underneath and the rainbow effect. As the others mentioned, the Nillkin is your best bet for glass.
As for cases, Spigen always makes good high quality cases and they have a couple of models available, I just recently got the Ultra Hybrid Clear case. I know clear cases tend to turn yellowish with time, but I like to show off my Dbrand skins.
Hi everybody.
I have been testing a couple of screen protectors in the past and wanted to share my experince with you.
The best one in my opionen is from SAMSUNG itself. It simply has the best quality. If you buy it on amazon its only $11. (http://amzn.to/2xGpWWs) I think for 2 screen protectors thats a good value for the money.
I even made a video review about it to tell what I like about it. If you are interested in it you can watch it here:
https://youtu.be/S2ixW_dvx8s
What are your experiences with screen protectors? I am curious. Share your opinions here
Though mine isn't really a screen protector, I am using the lifeproof case for my S8. Have been very happy with it. The screen protector built into the case is already curved so it fits easily. People have complained about issues with the curved part of the touchscreen and responsiveness. I have not experienced this issue at all. I have always had good luck with the Zagg Glass Protector with other phones, not sure how that is with the S8. Something to potentially look at for people.

I see. THe big problem with most of the screen protectors for me was that most of them could not hold to the edges and came off pretty early. So that's a big criteria for a good screen protector. THe one by samsung still covers my whole front after months which is one of the many reasons I like it so much.
Glass protectors are to thick and make the phone too thick in my opionion. But maybe I should give it another shot..
yes but glass protectors are designed to protect your screen in an accident, the normal film ones you have will not protect your screen from accidental damage, i presently have a htc phone with a glass screen protector on it and it has saved my phone many times as the glass screen protector cracked but the screen underneath was unmarked. I know have a samsung s8, i bought two glass screen protectors from amazon uk, the reviews were made by 72 viewers and almost 100%. i fitted the screen protector perfectly and it didnt stick to the curve edges and was very unresponsive to touch , i sent them back for full refund which i got. most importantly most of the reviews are fake reviews, amazon should stop this. ive left my feedback on amazon.
These flimsy plastic screen protectors make no sense to me. Your phone glass is already harder than anything you'll throw into your pocket. The metal on your keys and **** can't scratch your screen anyway and all these would do is protect from scratches by getting scratched themselves.
People want screen protectors to protect from cracking and shattering the phone not to protect from scratches. The screen is already mostly scratch proof unless you're rubbing it up against a pointy edge of some harder glass which I seriously don't think you'd be doing.
Anyone try Nano Fix it?

best Screen Protector for the S8
I almost feel bad that I underestimated the installation part as I almost wanted to throw the first screen protector I used. If done correctly and patiently, you will have a premium looking phone. Don’t rush it if you don’t want to regret it. So for you guys who are afraid of the “wet installation”, give it a try. It was a bit difficult for me, but I’ll do it again if it means maintaining the high quality of my Samsung Galaxy S8. And besides, the S8.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07DF82TJ3/ref=sspa_mw_detail_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought this one, though I will give it a try. It works perfect and holds very strong as well. I bought same brand for s7 edge and it is the same quality.

i tested this one works perfectly
the guard actually sticks to the device via glue with UV just like whitestone one but is lot cheaper
I don't use any screen protector, I realized that touching and stroking the screen was very sensational.
I can totally agree with you. In the past, I've always used multiple screen protectors.
I have my S8+ device a bit over a year now and I can see only a micro-scratches, which are invisible in the daily usage.
Besides, what's the point of buying screen protectors for, let's say 50$ and replace them every year? I'd rather save this money and buy sooner the new, fresh model.
Hi. I would like to know what you all end up using on your screen. I just bought me an S8+ and are desperately looking for a good screen protector that i can use with a case.
Please enlighten me
My mother and I have had the S8 since release. We have never had an issue with breaking the screens until this phone! The Zagg one on release day absolutely stunk as the adhesive was only on the curved part of the protector leaving the whole screen non responsive to our touch. Since then we have been daring and been going without one. Within the last 3 months my mother dropped her phone twice. The phone was replaced at a $149 deductible the first time. I refuse to pay it again until I can find a screen protector that works!
Please help!
Full adhesive, curved edges, perfect glass cover.. Can be purchased from Home Depot or Amazon!
Samsung Glass Screen Protector - Ultra Thin Tempered Glass with Easy Applicator and Cleaning Kit - Smudge, Fingerprint, Scratch and Shatter Resistant - ProGlass by Tzumi
Doesn't make since to make another thread, but I'm looking for something that's similar. Preferably one that is case friendly, doesn't ruin touch sensitivity, and doesn't have a weird cutout for the sensors at the top. I bought the Pro Glass one in the above post, but it wasn't case friendly.

As far as I know, having tempered glass only won't help when the phone drops.
For myself, I watched several people try drop testing S8 using rhino shield bumper case (can search on YouTube). I too, have one, but since I don't like the glass back getting smeared with fingerprint, I go to otterbox defender (a hefty one), and finally to spigen tough armor (the one I currently use).
For record, I have dropped my phone twice (forgot whether using defender or rhinoshield), without any tempered glass, and the phone is still working without flaw.

Neither is wasting money on cheaper versions that just don't work. If this one actually prevents screen damage without compromising the user experience then it's a good investment.
I bought these.. pretty good in my opinion, for the price

What case are you using with your GOBUKEE?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074SJV133/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got these. There is about ~1mm gap between top and bottom edges clearance with spigen tough armor on. The sides of the glass are almost right on the edges of the case. I don't recommend using it without a case or with rhino bumper bc it doesn't go to the edges and feels weird bc of the extra gap. It does come with a tool that clips onto the phone to line it up perfect. I'm happy with it.
I'm using a Spigen case. I do have an S8 active, so the case is different, but Spigen makes great stuff
Incipio Plex Plus Shield Edge is awesome, had mine for a couple months and it's still attached lol
I purchased these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078W2LZM6?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd
It may be a PET protector but it does the job and is super thin and case friendly. Another aspect is that it's cheap! 3 for 8 bucks and was easy to install.

Spigen offers a tempered curved protector that fits. Mine cracked after 2 months, still usable. Experienced a few spots in the corners where touch responsiveness is decreased.
What is the best Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S8
I've always admired how my friend’s phone looked so seamless and smooth, it always fooled me thinking that his screen protector came with the phone when he purchased it. To my surprise, he installed it himself. Now I’m not a bad friend, but this guy can get excruciatingly stupid at times. I thought if someone as dense as him had managed to somehow not mess up with wet installation, how hard can it be?
I got the Ounier screen protectors, a squeegee, a tiny piece of cloth, a manual, and a small bottle spray solution. I’m the old-fashioned type, I never even knew that “wet installation” is actually a thing if not for my buddy. All these items looked so weird to me. I’ll never understand how people come up with this stuff but if it works, then it's fine with me.
My device is new but I know all the tempered glass protectors are awful for this phone and dropped fast from the screen...
Whitestone dome is expensive for me.. but it was worth it?
I want good screen protector please.. glass is not good for this phone? maybe I need clear protector or matte? silicone?
UV light is a good option or the liquid water scratch the screen?
Please advices!!
Search on AlieExpress for Liquid Tempered Glass for Galaxy S9. You can even choose Case friendly or normal type of glass. Price is around 10$.

I'm using the Whitestone. It is expensive but if you do it right it will be the only one you need for the life of the phone. I have one on my s9+ and on my note 8. If you but an 800€/$/£ phone there is no reason to cheap out on a screen protector and case.
this whitestone is good? but I read of users that have bubbles after a few days of use..
why so expensive? durable for drops?
how is the warranty?
Bought a few protectors from aliexpress for about 1.5€ each. Finally managed to apply the third one correctly and its absolutely great. Will definitely not protect against drops and shattering but they do their jobs against scratches.

You can use any other tempered glass with UV glue, just as whitestone and avoid buying the expensive one, just use loca glue and a cheap (but good) tempered glass, google "DIY tempered dome glass for S9".
I ordered the Whitestone and installed it.. amazing screen protector I ever used..
I use the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin. It is relatively thin.
I use Crocfol screen protectors since ages. They're a foil so they go around the edges of S8 and S9 perfectly. Work as good as a tempered glass protector. Spigen has a similar product.
They're long lasting, self-reparing, don't take anything away from screen sensitivity. A bit pricey, around 25€ for a set with 2x front 1x protector plus something they call "liquid glass" which you can apply directly on the screen to eradicate micro scratches and seal your screen again, but absolutely worth it. I applied the first set immediately after my S9 arrived half a year ago and still have it on without it coming off around the edges or getting dull from scratches.
I had an accident and dropped my S8 full speed on concrete out of hand height, all it got was a tiny crack on the backside (2mm maybe). So if you don't like glass protectors this might be a very good choice for you.
I ordered the Spigen Neoflex
skinomi this is my go to screen protector. works with any case and when u scratch it it comes back to the original shape, more like gel on top though you don't notice it. It has life time warranty, easy to apply and the price is decent. all those aliexpress , ebay screens dont make sens any more. i mean you spend a 500 600 on a phone and you wont spend 10- 20 for something decent at least.
I used this and it works just like WhiteStone at a lower cost. Liked it so much I purchased two just in case.

I've got the supacase unicorn beetle. Has good case protection, very light and built in screen protector. Couldn't ask for much more.
Hi I ordered this screen protector and it seems nice ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsun...var=442089289527&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 )
Search term : "s9 tempered case friendly full glue"
It's very glossy, not fingerprint resistance but it sticks very well to the glass, bubble free (except the red circled areas ), and absolute no problem with touch responsiveness (I enabled touch sensitivity).
Now it's been about a week installed so drop, scratch and water resistance testings are not done yet
Works good easy to install no Fuss. www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7M061/
I am really impressed with this $16 TGSP from Amazon, US.
[url]https://www.amazon.com/G-Color-Screen-Protector-Galaxy-S9/dp/B07MDBYBH3[/URL]
It is a full glue and was an easy install and feels better than the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector that are on my and the wife's Note 9s. It does not show grease from fingers, like the Whitestone, either.
I wish they made it for the Note 9.
