Attached are the photos of the 6T solid suit and the impact screen protector that I just installed this morning. The solid suit feels amazing and the screen protector is film and feels like glass, but is definitely not glass, just so there is no confusion there. It does seem to go from left edge to right edge completely and where I placed it seems to cover the entire screen top to bottom. The slider on the case really works and the buttons are fantastic; smooth and clicky, not at all hard to press. I love both and I'm glad I got them ordered on Black Friday now because two protectors and a case was not inexpensive but they are both super high quality and way more affordable than the glass one from T-Mobile so I'm happy with my purchase. If you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them!
Also, don't mind the doggo, she likes being in pictures.
Can u tell me how the side buttons are? Are they still clicky? Or are they mushy like the stock case that comes with the phone....
And how's the slider button? Is it flimsy?

The buttons are great, I handed someone else my phone so two people could verify that they are very clicky and easy to push. The slider has some play in it up and down but it does work correctly when it hits the slider on the device. No issues with functionality at all this is a really great case.

I tried crashguard on op6 and hated it. I think I'll like the solid suit better. Thanks for the pics. Screen protector is intriguing also, seems very clear....
Thankfully I waited I can get the print backs now. Just waiting or one particular one to be available
Is the screen protector you have on This one? It says "Not Full Coverage" on it... I can't see clearly on your photos how close to the edge of the screen the screen protector comes to... I had the same impact screen protector on my old Samsung Galaxy S7, and it didn't even cover the full screen on the left and right, which is the reason I didn't order this screen protector for my 6T..
how slick is the screen protector compared to the pre-applied plastic one from OP?

Sorry about the late response I'm traveling abroad. I have the impact screen protector as the tempered glass one is for the back I think. Anyway, as far as not full coverage I think what they mean is that it covers the visible screen but not the edges past that. It doesn't extend fully top to bottom either but it does cover all the visible screen space as far as I can tell; no obvious cutoff of the screen though it does require precise placement to line it up properly.

Much slicker definitely. Feels like glass but definitely doesn't get rid of oil the way glass does. It feels good to the touch and it is very strong as I dropped on a stool and it bounced onto a hardwood floor right after that. There was no damage to the screen, but the protector did crack so I'll replace it when I get home. It did very well holding up to direct impact on a metal stool; lived up to the hype for me.
Can u take better pictures of the screen protector again?

The impact resistance shatters? I thought it was some type of plastic film.

I also purchased a SolidSuit (with the lens mount) for my 6T and while I like the build material, I don't like the little details. Let me explain:
1) The back of the case has this weird look and feel like it's made from three separate medium-fiber density board with a black sticker over it. I can actually feel the transitions between the three pieces and I don't like it. See the attached picture.
2) There is a noticeable gap at the top of the phone where the back meets the bumper edge. However, on the bottom, it's completely flush. My pockets are clean, but somehow dust and small particles find its way into that tiny gap. Ugh,
3) The special lens adapter is amazing since I am now able to mount the Moment 18mm WIDE V2 lens. However, since the bayonet mount sits so far away from the camera lens, it creates vignetting. FYI: The OP6T and the OP6 share the same lens adapter. I bought both. They are labeled differently, but they are identical in every way: height, mounting point, etc. If they did this correctly, the adapter for the OP6T should be SHORTER since it does NOT have the same camera height protrusion as the oneplus 6.

It didn't shatter really, it just cracked along a seam where the impact was. When I get back home in two days I'll try to get pictures of the crack and the screen protector.

O.K. Peeps, after not installing clear coat because of its poor coverage, and after getting exasperated with i.s. because of the white screen edge issue, I ordered the "clear protector" from ebay. This comes with seperate screen shield, and so avoids those installation issues. The material seems slightly harder than the i.s. equivalent - which had "pitted" from use of the stylus. The only issue I have had is the inability to stick the top edge of the back shield effectively. I had the same problem with the i.s. I feel this is a design fault - they should make the shield for the top edge come down slightly, instead of the back going up slightly, if that makes sense. Overall though pretty good.
However I received a set of three Boxwave protectors today, and though I didn't mind the clear protector screen shield, would rather have a slightly clearer and harder surface. Wow! The boxwave is easy to put on and looks great. As a tip, when applying run a hot tap and get the room steamy, stops dust floating around. I have managed installation with only one ginger hair stuck beneath the shield ( shaving debris ).
Pretty happy with my protection now. Clear Protector gives I would say 98% coverage, doesn't cover the usb arear, and small areas at the corners. However it loses marks as despite hours of trying I still can't get those back top edges to stick properly. I'm gonna shoot clear protector an email and see if I can't get a replacement.
Boxwave 10/10.
If the sticking issue was addressed, this would be the perfect protection solution, imho.

what do you mean it had a separate screen shield? does it mean for the front, there are 2 pieces (1 for screen and 1 for area around screen)? Any orange peel effect? So overall you would recommend clear protector over IS?

Yes there are two pieces for the front.
Less orange peel.
After a couple of weeks of being in a silicon case, and a little saliva (!) the back edges have also imrpoved.
It is far better than i.s.
Hi
Can you post some pictures of Clear Protector? I've ordered and applied I.S. but like almost everyone I'm really disappointed!

Good to hear, have ordered.
This is just a quick post with my comments on the invisible shield, in case it's useful to somebody looking for a screen protector...
Pros:
- Thick, feels very protective. No worries about putting it in a pocket and getting it scratched from keys or change
- Air bubbles really do work themselves out after a few days of use, even on a completely ham fisted install!
- Doesn't affect screen, you can still see it in daylight without rainbow or mirror effect.
Cons
- B****rd to install. Way fiddly because of all the little corner flaps and cut out bits.
- Slightly sticky to the touch means finger glide action isn't what it could be. Also scrolling with a stylus seems much more hit and miss than without the protector
- Not particularly cheap.
I'll be keeping mine - I'm mainly concerned about protection (which it should excel at) and with a little adaption you can get used to the decreased screen sensititvity. I find using the back of the fingernail to scroll actually works better than a finger.
As an aside, the best protector I had in terms of a balance between feel and protection was a generic cut-to-size one from Palm! Unfortunately it only covers the display part of the TP2 front, it's not big enough to cover the whole front.
Hope that helps someone!
Marc.
Hmm, i was thinking just installing the back part for scratch protection and keeping the normal screen protector that comes with it, i find that the protector that comes with it gives it that capacitive feel to it in that the screen doesnt push in as it used to without the protector ... because honestly i dont think the screen feel and senstivity is something i can compromise .. my 2 cents

I forget to inform them not to apply the Raceshield screen protector as it is too thick and it gives a funny and unresponsive feeling when you touch the screen.
I might change the screen protector to Martin Field instead.

Invisible Shield protect your device from scratches only.
If it falls onto the ground, it'll damage your phone for sure.
Get a pouch or a case if you need that kinda protection.
i have just installed the invisible shield on my touch pro2, not particularly hard, because I have lots of experience installing these.
But if you are a noob, it will be very tricky.
Even if you install it properly, you might still get dust or dirt underneath, and you may not realize it until it has dried up, which is too late.
I got some big bubbles underneath, waiting for it to dry.
I would only recommend the invisible shield for the back part, as for the screen, it is better to stick with a regular screen protector.
Scrolling and figure gestures are not as smooth if you use the invisible shield,
i will post pics up later! cheers.
I put my IS on last night. My impressions:
1. The back fits very nicely.
2. The front doesn't fit quite as well, but you can get it on with enough patience.
3. There are a few small bubbles, I'm still waiting for them to go away.
4. Today the bubbles are still there, and the front has a rather sticky feel to it. I don't like the feel.
5. The back cover sticks very well to the gell pad I use in my car. (bonus!)
6. I don't like the ridges on the sides left by the front cover.
7. If the bubbles don't disappear completely, I will find a replacement for the front cover.
Doesn't the phone come with a proective cover on the back already and a screen protector for the screen? I would have thought that would be enough?

The 'cover' on the back is just part of the back's design.
And the screen protector that comes with the phone, well, not sure about everyone else, but mine peeled off within a few days of it going in and out of my pocket.

The "cover" on the back, which can sorta be seen when you look at the volume rocker doesn't come off, which is why I said it's just part of the design.
You can place any protection you want on it.

Also, not just what it looks like on the physical device, but some good pictures of what the SCREEN looks like with phone on? So many screen protectors distort the screen image (thinking to my mother's ipod touch screen protector that makes the pixels all rainbowy and aliased looking) and I have yet to see ONE picture of what the actual display looks like when the screen is on.

Sorry, I have no photos to offer. I can tell you that the screen does look a bit "rainbowy" when I have polaroid sunglasses on. (When driving) It's enough to be a minor annoyance, no more. Still very easy to see the screen, which is a big plus comin from a Tilt that could not be seen at all in my roadster.
Also, as a general follow-up to my earlier rant-
All the bubbles have worked out, and I've grown accustomed to the sticky face. So I will keep the IS on my TP2. I really likethe idea of the phone being well protected from all the abrasive items that find their way into my pockets.
Zerolemon 9H Ultra Glass Armor: Tempered Glass Screen Protector
Unboxing:
I received a review unit from Zerolemon. The screen protector was sent in a bubble wrapped package. The packaging on the screen protector itself is thin poster board with plastic cut outs for the various pieces. It came with the screen protector itself, a small micro-fiber cloth and an alcohol wipe.
Installation:
Zerolemon has installation instructions printed on the poster board packaging. I didn’t need them, but for though who do, the instructions don’t make sense at all. Luckily the pictures convey much more than the written instructions do.
I applied the screen protector in my bath-room after I had the hot water running in the shower for about 10 minutes to minimize any dust particles that were in the air. I tried using the micro-fiber cloth to clean the screen of any residual oil and particles. It did a good job getting rid of oily residue, but is horrible at picking up dust, which might be due to the cloth being tiny (2”x2”). Then I used the alcohol wipe to wipe down the screen one more time. That did the trick. It removed the rest of the particles.
After taking a plastic film off the screen protector I placed it on my phone. The great thing about it is that you can move it slightly to get it to fit perfectly then tap the middle of the screen and the screen protector will adhere to the screen like magic! I didn’t have any issues with bubbles.
Initial Impressions:
The screen protector is much thicker than a plastic one. It somewhat hides the home button because the screen protector is thicker than the protruding button. Not really an issue with me because I actually prefer that so I don’t accidentally press the home button when the phone is in my pocket, but it might bother others. Powering on my device and testing the responsiveness of the screen, the first thing I noticed how nice it felt to touch. Feels just like the glass on the phone. With the rounded edges I wasn't able to feel where the screen protector started and ended from edge to edge of the phone.
The screen’s responsiveness was noticeably diminished. All gestures and taps had to be deliberate for the phone to register the touch. I use the S-Pen quite often to create illustrations on the device. For regular navigation using the S-Pen it operated like normal, but I noticed that I had to push harder while doodling on the screen or using the hand writing recognition. Due to the diminished responsiveness I did have to go into “Settings>Controls>Auto-adjust touch sensitivity” and enable that option so that the screen would return to normal.
Viewing angles are comparable to naked screen.
I will update again in about 2 weeks after I’ve had more time to put it through the torture test of life.
Any info on how thick it is, it looks exactly like the same as the MIME Feather Glass. I use the s-pen with the MIME and I didn't have to turn up the sensitivity but it's only .15mm thick.

It's 0.3mm according to their website.
I hope to be receiving mine soon and will comment on the touch screen responsiveness as well. I currently use a 0.4mm thick glass screen protector (it started to bubble randomly, so I needed a new one anyways), and haven't noticed any reduction in responsiveness, so hopefully my experience will be able to provide a different experience than the OP (especially as I'm going from glass to glass, while it appears as though OP went from plastic to glass, which in my opinion is an incomparable difference).
I just received my review unit as well. It's very thin and barely noticeable. I'm using it with my ZeroLemon Extended Battery and it fits perfectly under the case. I haven't had screen responsiveness issues as mentioned in the OP.
I'll post pics up a little later.

The screen protector wasn't built in on my case.
If yours has one built in, then you should probably remove it.

I got my review unit today and its pretty good. Mouahmong's review is almost spot on. If you know how to apply a screen protector you are good to go. However, if you have never done it before, watch a Youtube video because the instructions shown on the inside of the package are terribly written.
My advice on applying (especially if your house/apartment or wherever you live is dusty) do it after a hot shower. Doing so will let the dust settle.
The screen protector does have somewhat rounded edges so it's not sharp unlike some other cheaper tempered glass screen protectors. However, with a 0.3mm thickness, you won't even be able tell.
I didnt have much of an issue with the home button after applying the screen protector. Some other brands will provide a stick on item to put on top of the home button so its easier to press, but with this screen protector being pretty thin (0.3mm) you wont need it IMO.
Other than that, so far so good. If I find any cons, I'll update this review.

Here are some pics with the Tempered Glass Screen Protector paired with the ZeroLemon Extended Battery/Rugged Case. This thing is very thin. The previous glass screen protector I had installed was too thick and caused the top corners to lift up. No problem here. Fits like a glove.
Installed the zerolemon screen protector a few days ago and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT with my 10,000 mah battery and rugged case! I never liked screen protectors because I thought they took away the OEM glass feel and clarity. I now admit my past reservations were completely wrong and I will never have my phone screens go naked again! The zerolemon glass screen protector fits like a glove with the 10,000 mah battery and rugged case and I would strongly recommend the protector to everyone who owns the rugged case to give this a shot. Last thing, the cost of this is better than most of the other name brand protectors out there.

Haven't tried it in sunlight but it should glare just as much as the regular glass.
This isn't a anti glare screen protector.
So far it does well in direct sunlight. Minimal glare. Similar to stock naked.

It is the same as the OEM glass screen, no better and no worse. I think the glass protector feels smoother than the OEM screen. Maybe it's because the oleophobic coating was starting to wear off but I swear the new screen protector feels buttery smooth when I swipe my finger or use the s pen.

People recommend installing in the bathroom because steam from the hot water will prevent dust particles from floating in the air.

I love it so far. The packaging is nothing fancy but the product is top notch. I previously had the Nillkin tempered glass and this one is identical to it which is a good thing. All the cutouts are perfect. It feels just like the naked screen. The price is very much reasonable unlike those other brands selling them for $20+ and the quality is the same.

I just received my review unit and will update this thread with my review in a few days. I did notice though after installing the screen protector there is a "bubble" in the top portion of the screen right overtop the notification panel and directly under the Samsung logo. I thought maybe I installed it wrong or slightly sideways so I very gently pulled it back up making sure I didn't touch the sticky backing and realigned the glass with the home button and pressed it back down firmly. The "bubble" is still present but a tad smaller then it was originally. I kept rubbing the screen hoping to eliminate the bubble like other brand plastic type screen protectors and no dice. I will give it a few days and hopefully it will work itself out. I hope I didn't somehow get a "defective" glass that wasn't completely flat which is causing this bubble. See attached pic showing the "bubble" and the packaging stating it has "Bubble Free Installation". [emoji53]

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.
ab7casper said:
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.
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.

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.
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

Any rainbow?

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
Ultimate Shield Tempered 9H Glass screen protector
Hey guys, here is my review of the Ultimate Shield Tempered 9H Glass screen protector and I must say - I'm converted!!
Read on....(also see the attached pictures)
Contents:
- The tempered glass screen protector
- Screen cleaning cloth (wet)
- Dust stickers
- Microfiber cloth
Installation:
Be sure to do this in as dust-free environment as possible. I like the kitchen for this reason (no carpets for me there), or the bathroom works great too as you can use the steam from the shower to help any dust settle whilst you complete the install!
1. Using the wet cloth helps to give the screen a good clean removing any oily fingerprints and/or dirt.
2. The dry cloth dries the screen (don't worry, the wet cloth doesn't 'wet' it that much!) and the dust stickers are there to ensure any last little bits of dust aren't present.
You'll want to spend time on ensuring there are no little bits on your screen as this can spoil the look, at least to those who won't be able to stop noticing that little eyelash hair in the middle of the screen!
3. Carefully remove the protective layer of the screen protector, keeping the exposed glass side facing down. There is a slight adhesive, of some form, which any bit of dust/hair ending up there may be tricky to remove so make this step as swift as possible, taking extra care. Keep your thumbs/fingers away from that side of the glass to avoid any fingerprints getting stuck there, holding the protector by the side only.
4. Lower the screen protector towards your phone, but don't place it on quite yet. Really line up the protector, looking at it from directly above and I'd recommend using the camera cut out as the guide. Ensure the selfie-camera lines up nicely in the hole but also that the full length of the protector runs parallel to the phone.
5. Once you're happy with the alignment, place the protector on the screen, with the selfie-cam side down first, then slowly but firmly lowering the rest of the screen protector down. Or to say another way, press the top of the screen protector down and then press towards the lower end of the protector, until you reach the bottom speaker end.
6. Some bubbles may be trapped underneath the screen. Don't worry! Use your finger/thumbs to firmly yet carefully press out the bubbles, pressing it out toward's the edge of the screen. You can also wrap a credit card in the dry cloth, and use that as a way to force out some air bubbles.
If you're not happy with the alignment and/or have anything stuck under there, then it is possible to remove and reapply. Do this very carefully though, by using your nail to lift it up from the corner, taking extra care not to fingerprint that side of the protector. Use the dust sticker to remove any bits. Though again, be as quick as possible as whilst that side of the protector is exposed, more stuff might land there!
Impressions:
From being a long time user of the film screen protectors, those being 'wet installed' etc. I must say I have been converted! I did have my hesitations about using glass protection, as a while back I used one and it failed to impress me. Previously I had found this type of material, glass vs plastic film, would add a mirror-like reflection to the screen, even more so than the Gorilla Glass screen that the device already had. Also, with my love of AMOLED devices I found glass screen protectors would detract from the 'deep black' the screen would display, and make such colours more of a grey, which affected viewing pleasure.
But not with this one!!
Feel - I instantly fell in love with how this looked and felt. It has no loss of sensitivity and I have not felt the need to have to swipe harder or change the way I interact with the phone. It feels just as responsive as it did prior to installation!
Looks - There is no glare/mirroring effect and so as far as it's looks are concerned, it's practically invisible! The screen colours look as vibrant as they did before and blacks still look as deep as they did
Fit - As you can see I have this installed with this rugged case and it fits PERFECTLY. This case slightly lips over and so there is no dust being trapped around the edge of the screen protector. I'd presume it will also be compatible with other cases too, as it is full coverage, going right to the edges with it's own bezel, not just covering the screen.
I highly recommend the use of this screen protector, for the added peace of mind that the screen is further protected against scratches etc.
Any questions please do ask!
@cd993 thanks for the nice review. I also normally don't like the complete glas, but bought a similar one. I'm also quite happy with it except one thing which disturbs me a little bit. Mine has the black frame around it ( which is in itself not a problem) and this is taking away just a tiny bit from the screen (maybe half a millimeter on the left and right). Is it the same with your one ( from the pics it looks like it also has the black frame). That it take away a bit of the screen is only noticeable when using apps which really starting text completely on the left side ( like the netguard log for example )

Thanks! To be honest I don't think it does. I've just looked at various apps, such as matlog/play store etc and no noticeable screen cut off

Thanks, I maybe give that one a try then . Just to make clear for everybody. The app in the pic I attached in my former screenshot really starts at pixel 0 on the left side... It's really not a lot what's missing....

Thanks for the review mate!! I've used US's products before and I think they're the best screen protector I've ever used.
Ordered mine 2 days ago and can't wait for it to be delivered, I miss the sensitivity and feel that those usually have.

Email them, perhaps they'd be willing to...
I have applied this protector too....
Always had phones without screenprotector because I hate them... It takes away the feel of the phone... Bubbels underneath glass etc etc.
Bought it because I saw some scratches on the screen coming.
So after this positive review gave it a try. But man I must say it's a great quality.
Applying is very easy off course look for dust... Becaue I had one.... Took it off which is very easy to do... Rinsed it off under water....
Take two was a succes.... Didn't dry it just putt it on the phone and wipe wipe wipe and a lot of patience....and rubbing. It was bubble free.
But glad I did it.... In fact I find the screen better looking.. Bit of 3d effect...
Fp and typing is as normal.
Only con its a bit heavy....
Don't compare this to a 5 dollar screenprotector which is also the reason why I hated them.

Glad you like it! Yeah it really is a great screen protector, basically looks the exact same with it on and barely noticeable!

Is your screen protector from spigen?
thanks.
I'm using a chinese version but have some issues. The protector have some kind of bend and it causes a bubble impossible to remove just in the front camera. Because of that my front cam don't focus right.
That's the one:

@cd993 from the pictures you attached it seems the screen protector has real curved edges. Am I right or is just my impression? If you could add more pictures where we can see how curved are the edges without the case, I would appreciate.
I'm looking for a good screen protector that has curved edges so I can use a slim cover.
Currently I have a Cafele full screen protector (bought on AliExpress for 4 USD), which is good and has a nice feeling, looks very similar to this one, but it doesn't have curved edges and because of that it doesn't stick very well in the corners, if I use a slim case.
Thanks.

Hmm I remember then being curved yes, but no overly so.
Either way I certainly recommend it and fitted it great, as well as being case friendly, in my experience
