Do these have a slight curve on the bottom to properly fit the SanFran because in the pic they look straight?
TIA
Yes they are curved at the bottom, I guess they just used a stock image for the advert.
Additionally I should add that they are obviously cut for the SF as they are longer than the i900 ones that people have been using & they cover the whole screen, including black surround right up to the buttons.
They are currently £4.95 for 6 including postage, they must be popular as the price has risen since I got mine.
Excellent, just what I wanted to know, TYVM.
The cheapest I think
I found this "standart" ( samsung i900 ) screen protectors on eBay.
Item id 200542528537
Just 1.44$ for 5 items + Fiber clothing. Ordered but didn't received yet.
Hi all, this is my first ever post:
I find a Samsung i900 screen protector fits perfectly, I have one on my ZTE Blade now!
If anyone has noticed, Invisibleshield is selling Screen Protector or Full Body made especially for ZTE Blade.
Does the screen without the protector get scratched very easily? I just bought my Blade and not sure if I should buy the protector or not.
I had the protector on my Omnia 2, but I thought that the screen on Blade is better.
Even if the screen is tough, it's common sense to protect it. A screen protector worth a couple of pounds might just save you having to replace the screen/phone.
Use them all the time screen is still as new and I use my step for work

Dont like my protectors from ebay because I can only use every second .
The stickers on the protectors leave big marks on them.
I dont like to use screen protectors, the screen never feels right.

Cheap screen Protector in ebay
To day I found 5x screen protector in ebay just under 10 bucks.
I think it will be good and it is anti glare as well.

I let the Verizon salesman get me to buy their overpriced protectors (3 for $15...) I really don't like it. It's as wide as the screen, but long enough to cover the Verizon logo on top, and the softkeys on the bottom. It has cut outs for the camera and the light sensor.
What I don't like, is that despite the best efforts of the Verizon salesman (and he did try his hardest, there isn't a spec of dust under the cover) the edges don't stick. This is because the phone's glass curves to the edge. This leaves a tiny bit of the protector that isn't stuck down. Not only does this look bad, but it's also going to attract dust and pocket lint to get in there.
Furthermore, the screen protector also detracts from the aesthetics of the phone, it shows finger prints much more than the gorilla glass 2 does, and it adds a very slight color tint.
I think I'm going to remove it and just go without.
If you like Zagg then xtremeguard already has the DNA protectors available. Current sale means they are only 5 bucks a pop. I have used them before and was very pleased.
That is strange I got the Verizon screen protectors and don't have the issue ..however mine isn't edge to edge .. did he give you some type of aftermarket or does it have the droid stamp on it ..?

The Verizon protectors not covering the entire screen (not edge to edge, only the part that's illuminated) is a deal breaker for me. I'll just keep shopping around.
Also, I have nothing against Zagg. I've used Zagg on two devices and they held up great without any of the (noticeable) orange-peeling effect I've read about. My only big complaint with them is the outrageous price.

I am patiently waiting for sgp steinheil, and a decent sleeve.
screen protector
The ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Screen Protector is the best!
Are screen protectors even necessary? I owned my DROID X for 2 yrs without a screen protector and it looked as good as the day I bought it. That only had Gorilla Glass 1, it looks like Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be thinner is all, and I assume the same strength.
I am not for one going to put one on. Besides I love how silky smooth the screen is, and despise others with their sticky rough screen protectors.

Because of the curved edges the display has, I doubt there will be ones that will cover the whole thing, unless they come curved... I don't use screen protectors, but for those that do, that's most likely all you will get.
The more I use the phone, the more I'm thinking about just skipping the screen protector this time around. It seems pretty substantial on its own and the great, smooth feel is something I wouldn't want to lose (along with the clarity of the awesome screen, too).

Do any of you guys that don't have screen protectors on have any scratches yet? I know it is not supposed to scratch but that's not always the case. I currently have the Verizon one on mine.

Like I said above, I'm currently not using a protector and I have been shoving it in/pulling it out of my pockets and even dropped it on a wood floor (screen down) and no nicks or scratches...so far.

I just can't use screen protectors no matter what. Some of them have a haze foggy look to them, others feel a tad sticky, and sometimes I'll have the tiniest dust particle under the glass or just a small bubble around one of the edges. <<<---- Each, and everyone of these drive me nuts! Also the touch never feels the same, or as smooth. I don't know about most of you, but I'm very anal about my phones, and never had any glass damage, or scratches for that matter.
My final word.... GO NAKED!!!!!!

I work in construction sites a lot. And I use my flash light app a lot. I will sometimes lay my phone screen down above the ceiling. There is always metal shavings and chunks of cement up there and I do not have the smallest hint of a scratch on my screen. I have also dropped it on concrete and asphalt, still nothing.
I honestly think it is a sales gimmick.

I have a Gnex right now... went naked with that and it was a mistake. I have 2 or 3 small hairline scratches and I take pretty decent care of my phone. I dislike screen protectors but I dislike scratches even more.
i've had an old LG Xenon (text phone) i had a cheap case on it which i ended up destroying after repeated drops on concrete, I've even cracked the screen a little on the side with the case and screen protector on, but after all of that i went naked anticipating an upgrade, but i've dropped it off a 2nd story porch straight down onto concrete with screen face down and not even a scratch. I think that the screen itself will survive alot of impacts, it's the rest of the body (as well as the corner of the screen) that can't take the damage.
I'm going no screen protector, but will put a case on it once the one i want comes out. I dont believe it makes enough of a difference to counter the cons of it.
Hey people, just wanted to do my part and contribute.
Xtremeguards https://www.xtremeguard.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=droid+dna has the Droid DNA wet apply screen protector on sale for $1.50 (originally $15) with free shipping. Just enter in code "70OFF1" at checkout. I bought 3 of them. Hope this helps someone. I haven't personally had experience with xtremeguards but I've used xoskins, another wet apply option and it worked pretty well.

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.

Hardly used my v30 for 2 months and the oleophobic coating is already gone. As soon as i wipe the phone screen with a clean cloth and use it for 5 min, i already see fingerprints on the whole screen. Anybody experienced this? Any resolutions? Don’t seem to find tempered glass anywhere for this phone as it has curved screens.
If you live in Europe this may help: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B077JYR4BL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also it's possible to order from USA or other countries in the World but there are shipping costs (example: USA 9€+5€ (aprox. 16$))
I use this glass and I'm very happy with it.

When I first bought my phone a year ago, I had the employee at Verizon put on a tempered glass covering for me. He did a good job, but the glass eventually started coming loose around the edges, letting dirt, fuzz, hair and small things get under it somewhat. Very irritating. The glass only had a small line of glue around the outer edge to hold it on. It finally fell completely off about a month ago.
A couple of weeks ago, I went back into a Verizon store to see if they could put another tempered glass covering on for me. But, I've found that the American Verizon stores that I went in does not carry any or very little LG accessories such as tempered glass covering. What I finally did was have them put on a "liquid glass" covering for me. This was quite expensive having them do it in store, but I think you can probably order it on line a lot cheaper.
The draw back is, I think, a big one. It is on there permanently. I don't know if there is a way to get it off if you get scratches on it. After 3 weeks or so, mine is still looking pretty good with no visible scratches, yet. It wipes off pretty clean, still (don't know how long all this will last).
It's an option if you can't find tempered glass.

Just noticed that my 2 months old P30 screen has a lot of scratches, some of which are pretty bad. Considering that my 2+ years old Nexus 5X didn't have a single scratch on it when I compared it earlier tonight, I'm highly disappointed at how fragile the P30 screen is. I'll have to look at a screen protector to limit the damage.
So do yourself a favor, even if like me you never used screen protectors with your previous phones, it's pretty much essential with this phone. I'm a bit pissed off right now that such an expensive phone is already quite visibly damaged so early despite me being rather careful with how I carry my phones.
That's why there is a screen protector on the P30 out of the box. Atleast for the one i got aswell as a friends one.
The cheapo screen protector that is pre-installed in the box scratches really easy and fast... But it's a screen protector
You sure the screen is scratched and not the pre-installed protector which you might not notice yet?

i took mine off, keep it pocket with keys coins ect. not a scratch on it lol. i cant stand screen protectors, first thing i do on any phone is take it off
u are right though, i knew at least of few people who mistakenly thought their screen was cracked for a long time not knowing it was their screen protector lol. one woman at work went to upgrade after it was "cracked" for a year, and the person in cell store took the protector off and she was stunned lol
No, it was definitely the screen - I removed the original screen protector as these are more intended for shipping protection than real day-to-day usage protection.
I bought a TPU screen protector from Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07N2R48T3/ ), and installed it a few days ago. In addition to protecting the screen, and it's also nearly invisible, I'd say it hid the fast majority of the visible scratches. There's just an area of the phone that has wider damage that still be seen when under the correct angle/lighting, the other scratches are no longer visible under the TPU protector.
This being the first time I ever used a screen protector, I'd say my installation isn't perfect (there are 3 or 4 small bubbles that won't go away, but they are all on the outside, and only one is over a visible part of the screen). But the final result looks much better than before, so I'd say that even on an already damaged screen, these TPU protectors are a good way to hide the damage.
Think I also figured out how it got damaged - this new jacket has a small metal press button at the top of the inner pocket. It's roundish and shouldn't normally damage a decently protected screen (like my former Nexus 5X), but the P30 fragile screen really didn't like it...
Do yourself a favour and get a case that covers the whole phone. I've had my p30 lite for a few days and the back is already shattered! Can't believe it!!!

I find these too bulky, they ruin the look and feel, and they often interfere with the use of gesture-based navigation. I prefer a low-level bumper like posted in this thread (that Aliexpress one is working great for me so far) combined with a discrete TPU screen protector.
The screen protector came with a bumper case BTW, which they recommend using for the couple of days following the installation of the screen protector. I will return to my previous bumper case afterward, but I'd say if someone doesn't already have one, the one included with the screen protector is good enough (unless you drop your phones a lot). It's just not as discrete looking as the Aliexpress one.
Anyone has a yellowish tint on bottom of the screen? It's noticeable on white background.
Why are you asking this everywhere, in every thread?
why the f*** you ever remove original protector,they are perfectly applied and with no scratches after many months of use ?!

This is not a fault of the P30 - the side-effect of more shatter-proof glass is that it is slightly softer and more prone to scratches. This is well-known with other devices too (remember when Galaxy Note owners were moaning about this?)
With the P30 and it's completely flat display there is no excuse for not using a glass screen protector if you want to avoid scratches. Personally I thought the factory screen protector was fine, and it lasted me a good month before I even bothered installing the glass screen protector I bought on day one.

My wife laughs at me but I never took off the plastic cover that came with the phone -- the one you're supposed to peel off when you first open the box with your brand new phone. It's still on there like 8 months later and has only developed one small bubble at the top left. I love knowing I have a perfectly pristine screen just under that plastic. The fingerprint scanner works fine as well.
