Could someone tell me if it is normal that I have some bright spots (about 1-2 mm thick line from left to right up to rounded corners situated above the camera). This line is most visible from angles when I touch this place by finger (the cause is probably natural grease) but when I clean it with microfiber cloth then the bright line dissapear.
Is it possible that oleophobic layer was incorrectly applicated ?
I have to say that M20P (with leather pouch) has 3 days and of course it has not any scratches absolutely.

Hi,
my mate20pro had a problem with oleofobic layer resulting in two areas (on the top and on the bottom) getting dirtier and hard to clean.
I barely hoped to get the screen replaced but instead they've given me a new phone.
Good luck with yours!

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.

clear protector over IS?

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.
So thought I'd share this as I think I have figured out the best way to stick one on without bubbles!
Before anyone states that a screen protector is pointless because there already is one on blah blah, I disagree because I just like the reassurance that if the screen gets scratched it doesn't matter. Plus that preapplied screen protector is very good and well applied (obviously) so its a waste just to use that as a protector alone.
On my older phones I have always ended up scraping the screen protector because the bubbles annoy me so much, and they're a pain to apply. But with the XS I tried and got it perfect, thought it was just luck, but did it again and achieved a good result again.
First turn of the phone for 10 minutes (apparently the heat can cause bubbles) Wash your hands, clean a desk area and take your top of (wear a tshirt)
then clean the screen, its obviously but really clean it (I use a wet wipe and then dry it off with a clean cotton top) if you have the special cloth use this too.
Get a lamp and shine it on the screen check for any streak marks and polish these away until the screen is perfect. Blow gentle to remove any dust particles small hairs etc. I have found in the past that bubbles often have a hair in the middle of them which prevents the protector from not properly sticking.
Now the tricky bit, pull at the '1' tab to remove the protector sheet, but do this with that side facing downwards (so that any dirt in the air wont land on the sticky side) and lower it towards the screen.
Align the corners with THE TOP of the phone next to the sony logo and curve the protector so that the top of the protector touches the screen (the area around the speaker grill and logo. Double check that everything is aligned so it will fit perfectly when you lay down the rest of it. Don't worry about any bubbles here as they can be squeezed out easily (due to the speaker grill).
Now grab a card of some sort, my driving licence seems to work best and place it where the top of the screen protector has been applied. With the right hand keep holding the protector at the edge of it, and with your left hand firmly press down the card and slide towards the bottom of the phone. (be firm at this point don't worry the screen will be fine it can take this pressure!)
Slide all the way down and look at your job. hopefully there should be only a few bubbles around the edge, if there are ones in the centre then carefully peel it up and try again. (don't touch the sticky side obviously and make sure you don't touch the screen.
The bubbles around the edges and around the speaker grill can be squeezed out using the card. Go over it a few times and then pull the protector sheet '2' tab off. And there ya go a nicely applied screen protector!
I tried to be as detailed as possible but may post pictures later if people require them.
So Jank4AU was gracious enough to send me a SuperShieldz TGSP for the XL he was sent wrongly (thanks!)
I compared it to some other brands side by side and realized they are all the same exact cut. Except this one was a tad thicker and the edges were really smoothly rounded. I also noticed it wasn't picking up fingerprints like some others and decided to install it on my device as soon as I unboxed it. I turned on the shower for some steam to cut down the dust before installing. With plenty of lighting, I tried to align it as best I could, but the shadows played a trick depending on which angle you look at it.
It fit quite nicely, better than I expected and no haloing effect. I'll attach some pictures, let you be the judge. (you can see the album HERE)
Purchased the orzly full coverage in black and received it today. The cutouts are perfect and was super easy to install. Come just shy of the edge of the glass panel so most cases with a minimal lip should fit just fine. The black one of a true black though and the black pixel is more of a charcoal color. But with the amount of coverage I don't notice it that much. The dot matrix under the LCD portion of rather annoying and VERY easy to see in direct sunlight buy not as noticeable at night or indoors. I have no haloing as of yet. There is also no adhesive around the proximity sensor.

I just installed my white Orzly TGSP yesterday. Does the black part of yours cover any of the pixels on your screen? The white part of mine actually hides a tiny bit of the screen on all sides. I have about a perfect install with all cutouts perfectly centered, so they were good with that okay but I'm not sure I like the screen being covered by the opaque area.

Looks good. If the fit and stick is as good on the non-XL, I may consider the Supershieldz if Inskin can't resolve my horrible haloing with theirs.
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.
Hi everyone, it really not bothers me too much so I am not replacing it, but wanted to confirm with others if they had the same issue (or if this is normal/to be expected). When I opened my S23 Ultra packaging and removed the films I noticed a few vertical stripes on the sides of the phone, except the left side. One on the top, two on the right side and two on the bottom. They are not irregular, it is like a pattern, i.e. they are equally distanced from left and right edge of the phone at the bottom, as well as on the right side (all closer to the side edges than the center). It is just difference in the color and standing like a stripe of a darker tint.
I am wondering if this could be result of the packaging process or maybe they didn't wait enough time when assembling and packaging the phone. Anyone else observed this on their S23 Ultra? I can post photos however have already applied an extra tempered glass that covers the screen's curved edges too and a hard-to-remove case below it so do not want to risk bubbles, etc.
Many thanks.
Don't see anything like that on mine... Picture of it could help a lot what to look for...
Are you sure this wasn't the clear protective stickers that are around the edges of the phone, which need to be peeled off?
I removed these when I've got the phone. Here are some photos taken with the case, the stripe-like deviations are still visible though subtle. I may be wrong but have the feeling there was some kind of a film, plastic or paper attached to the phone's frame (or else) before they placed it in the box for packaging; it's like it was not yet ready (dry), but I may be wrong.
I think you are talking about signal antennas. It's completely normal.
It's normal - antennas. Even every phones with metal frame looks similar.
Yep it is antennas..
