I'll be the guinea pig for this one, I'm always impressed with Spigen products so fingers crossed on this. Looks like it has much narrower borders and a neater notch cutout ?

Oh cool I've been waiting for this. Wasn't happy with the Oneplus glass tbh but I've used the spigen on my P20 pro before and it was just perfect for me. Hope this one performs as good.
Let us know how it is. Curious to know if it will work with cases since they claim it does. The TGSP I have now peels up with all of my cases.
Any news on this? I'm super curious....
So, super impressed. Absolutely no adhesion issues on the sides or anywhere else for that matter.
The borders are noticeably smaller than the Orzly protector I had previously.
I'm using this with the Spigen 'Liquid Air' case from Amazon so no issues with compatibility.
I had a couple of air bubbles to work out but this was easy enough.
Fingerprint scanner doesn't seem any less responsive.
The only minor thing I'd say is that I've noticed my phone is attracting more dust and lint than previously but not the end of the world.
Sorry about the poor pictures, my old Xiaomi Mi5 is showing its age.

I'd say no, if it does you are talking a fraction of a millimeter - virtually unnoticeable.
The Orzly one bugged me because how bulky it made the notch and ate into my status bar, not an issue now. Plus the fact it didn't stick at the sides ?

Well the protector has a couple of large tabs coming off the top and bottom so that you can line it up then they just peel off with the top film, they aren't great - found it difficult to see where I was landing on the notch but managed to get away with it ?
If you keep a case on then there isn't too much margin for error although I'd recommend heavily cleaning your case as the last time I did it with the case all sorts of crap got hoovered up by the protector ?

I can also confirm. This TGSP works very well. Full adhesion (even after refitting the glas because i had to remove dust). Bubbles also go away pretty easily.
I didn't notice the black border covering any screen at first. But now i notice maybe one pixel beeing cut off on the sides - barely noticable at all.
Thanks for testing! I bought a second one as backup - just in case.

No worries, I'm just happy to have something decent now. That Orzly one was so bad they refunded me and withdrew it from sale How you finding it for attracting dust? I'm constantly wiping mine around the edges.

Question, does light bleed out the side with you? Literally just noticed it there - both sides you can peek under the black borders? Funky.

Yeah, same here. Although i only see it in one specific angle. The lip on my case kind of hides it a little.
My guess is, thats how all the SPs with a black border work - they are not really adhering to the border and are more or less giving the illusion of having a "full screen protection" because of said black border.
The lightbleed is only noticable when looking directly from the side - otherwise not noticable at all (even if pitch black).
The only negative point i see at the moment, is that dust accumulates in that space. Seems to be easily removable though....
Edit:
Regarding the dust: It seems kind of ok. I am getting some dust. But it's easily cleaned off.
I would almost say that it was the same with the preinstalled screen protector from OnePlus.
Edit No. 2:
Added some pictures. Sorry for the quality. Only have a ****ty webcam on my notebook.
Is it available in Spigen US online store? Searched for it but unable to find this one.

I've recently purchased some black glass screen protectors from CASEBASE.
Fitment is perfect no issues for me.
I do believe they are thinner than others or at least 1 of the thinnest.
They are £6.99 for 2 on ebay.
Just giving you the heads up to protect your op5's
If you found this useful tap thanks
Managed to take some photos on a budget tablet (sorry if pictures are not very good quality)
Looks good.
Can't believe the screen protector supplied with my OP5 is shows signs of peeling. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet!

No peeling on this what so ever and it seems to fill the screen more than that 1.
I've never applied a tempered glass before. Easy enough?

Mine is exactly the same with a slight lift along the bottom edge of the screen. The 3T I had briefly was much worse as the lift was top and bottom.
It's the curse of the 2.5D screen and a slightly misaligned or badly sized protector.

No I've not noticed any loss of screen none that I'm aware off as I make sure the screen is lit up when I'm installing it.
There's certainly no lift it fits perfect.

Hello,
there is glue just on the black side of the glass or everywhere (even in the middle) ?
Beside when you look at your phone with a white background, is there some oil effect ?
I got a glass from Orzly and i got all those issues...

Do you find the screen hard to see in sunlight with this protector on? I seem to struggle to see and brightness is on full. Also I have started to see some bleed on the edges. Do you think the CASEBASE is exactly the same as orzly ? As if orzly is better I might purchase that.

No, there will be not. Okay well if they change adhesive/glue type.
Working thing would need to entire tgsp be adhesive. Or maybe Whitestone style, they have somekind of different glue system which you dry with UV lamp.
But really oil slick comes because glass is just touching screen part thanks to glue on the sides only. So it leaves really small gap between tgsp and glass and if you havent cleaned your screen like some sort un-humam/robot which is really impossible, there will be oil slick.. Maybe not right after you have installed it but soon. Some manufacters (like Orzly) makes "dots" to prevent oil slick. It basically lift really really littlebit tgsp from phone's glass surface so tgsp wouldnt touch screen surface. But then people are crying about visible annoying dots on tgsp.
Thats why Oneplus official tgsp is adhesive from entire glass. But because of OP3/3T/5 style (glass starts bending before screen ends) they needed to cut about 0.4mm from both side with protectors black borders to not produce halo.
So none of methods what different manufacter use, isnt good enough...
Oh i forgot ones without black borders. Either they will end before screen ends or they will cover entire screen but leaves on sides.

They had the matrix dots on the CASEBASE but they don't seem to help the rainbow affect. Whitestone is the way to go I was tempted to get that kit for my s8+ but I found a protector that worked for the s8 even with its big curve.
I'm very surprised there isn't any perfect 1s for oneplus 5. The CASEBASE is close but not quite there. Fitment in it is good.
I think I'll end up with some tpu on it ?

Yeah dots should theoretically help on oil slick and prevent them but it wont delete those entirely and my personal opinion is that it wont help at all.
Orzly's last year model for 3/3T had also dots and oil slick so im not confident that it would be better for this They still have dots, thats what i know for sure

What company the tempered glass is of?
It is simply amazing how trashy most of the oneplus 5 screen protectors are. Just ordered idlehands tempered screen protector (goo.gl/i9x6xS) and it didn't fit as it claimed to (even the preview pictures show this!). The blacklines on the protector are spaced enough and go cover up part of the display! Most others are apparently trashy and low rated.... Anyone have luck? Having removed my factory screen protector, my screen is now vulnerable!

You should see the first glass protector I got, it wasn't even close with how much screen was lost.
But from what I've heard, even the official OnePlus glass protector covers the screen on the edges, doesn't it?

Assuming your referring to the Orzly tgsp, I'm surprised with your comment that it covers part of display screen. In the review video from the post in this XDA section, the review shows the Orzly installed and the bootloader screen displayed. The bootloader's left side text gives zero room for a screen protector to overlap and the video, to my mind, shows zero overlap of the text. Are you positive you applied it as well as the reviewer?
I've order the Orzly and am waiting for it to arrive so hopefully I'll get the same results as the reviewer and a couple of the installers who had zero rainbow effect. If it doesn't work out I'll be going back to a film screen protector as I've used on my devices for many, many years. The Orzly is my first tempered glass protector.
I'd like to echo the calls above: any good experiences with any plastic SPs?
I was happy with the preapplied SP, but I was putting some stuff (nice beermats I was nicking from a pub!) in my pocket and I managed to lift it on the bottom right, and it got covered in pocket crud straightaway. So I replaced it with the official OP TGSP, which I'm sort of 80% happy with. I have two (v small) bits on the right edge where it won't stick to the screen, and the borders covering the display bother me, particularly when I can't see the scrollbar to show me where I am in a page. Fond memories of my Nexus 5 and its perfectly flat display, I only ever needed one TGSP and it fit like a dream!
So what I'm looking for is ideally a) a TGSP with no border, as close to edge-to-edge coverage as possible without unstuck bits at the edges, and full screen adhesive so no rainbow effect. Failing that, option b) a plastic SP with coverage as good as the original preapplied one. Any tips? Preferably ones available from Amazon UK.
Many thanks in advance.
For me plastic SP are way better in looks.
Also never took the original one from OP devices.
But what's the plastic SP offers to OP5?

Yeah, I got it direct from OP as part of a bundle when I got my 5. I already knew it covered part of the display though, it says so clearly on the product page on their website. The one advantage it has over third party ones is that it's fully adhesive, so no rainbow/dot effects.

Here is a link to the Orzly tgsp on YouTube. Starting at the 4:27 mark he boots into the Bootlader screen and checks for screen protector display overlap.
I'll surely post my impressions once I get the Orzly tgsp myself but the video would probably give you all the info you need. Also here's the Orzly's amazon link and the XDA thread for this product. There is differing opinions but on the whole it seems like the only reasonable tempered glass option for the OP5.
I'm willing to try Nillkin's one ... I saw there is already a review of it in this forum, but I think i'm still gonna try it as it has no black border ( hate that ).
But still, from all reviews so far, Orzly SP looks like the best SP currently
I've always had great results with Skinomi, both their TechGlass and TechSkin. They currently don't offer the TechGlass for the OnePlus 5, but I just finished applying their MatteSkin protector and it installed perfectly . If they ever do release the TechGlass for the 5, I'll be picking one up.
Edit: I emailed Skinomi Customer Support about a TG protector and received this reply.
"Hello,
Thank you for your interest in our products.

The Nilkon one sucks.
I received it yesterday, 1 side does not stick whatever you try, glass does not cover the entire screen so you get an horrible rainbow effect since the screen protector edge ends still on the display..

seems to be the only one that is good so far... even with its flaws (oil/rainbow stain, fingertips on the glass, ...)
Just on balance: Phone manufacturers (lots of them) have gone with this 2.5D curvature and obviously it's a tough thing to make the perfect fitting cover out of glass, so none of them are going to be perfect. What's the obsession anyway? It's just a protective cover. I've had the Orzley for a few weeks and it works great. Since mostly people with bad experiences are posting in forums (go on and check out any thread and see how many threads are saying "this works fine!"), you can't tell much from this thread except to only stack up bad experiences. It sure doesn't attract dust or prints.
Here's my experience: I applied it using the "steamed up bathroom to settle dust" technique, it took maybe 45 seconds to apply, went on perfectly. It is designed not to overlap any case, and only to "meet" the visible part of the screen. Yes it's close, but not as bad as the OP one. I've never heard a tap from the glass protector. I've never seen a color or rainbow on it, nor any dust underneath. The edges are sticky after 2 weeks. If you think about it, no adhesive that is removable is ever going to be able to hold down a piece of cut tempered glass in a way that doesn't create at least a bubble somewhere, not that it's a big deal. I don't think I've thought about the screen protector once until I read this thread after I applied it.
For some of us, the Orzly works fine. I'm going to take a wild swing and guess that I'm not the only person that this SP works for. I've used it with two cases and it works perfectly with both of them. One is a bumper like case from OP https://oneplus.net/oneplus-5-silicone-protective-case, and the other was one I got for nothing with the OP (A folio case?) . I'm fairly sure the Orzly will work with any case because it doesn't extend over the edges.
If you are one to believe every bad review will be your experience then just stay with the factory applied plastic. It works fine but you'll likely have to clean it pretty often since the fingerprint attraction is high. Other than that, it's fine. It might not help you if you drop it as well.
Iqshield. Good coverage, smooth feeling. I like their products
Hey guys,
Thought I'd share my experience with this screen protector.
I've tried damn near all available on the market (tempered glass specifically) except the official OnePlus tempered glass. None were up to par. They all only have adhesive along the edges only which imo is a poor desicion. I see no plus to this.
The ones i tried all got dust under in a matter of days, and some even fell off completely after small drop tests.
Although this spigen is not a tgsp, it's is worth every penny. Application was easy, the wet application makes it to where alignment is 99 percent perfect. It covers at least all of the lighted display, of course it doesnt follow the 2.5d curve.
After application it took a couple hours to clear up any haziness that remained after squeegee/drying process. Don't apply too much pressure as I seem to have wrinkled a corner.
All in all, very satisfied with the product and will continue to buy after they get ugly...unless they make a perfect tgsp im the future.

It's pretty much the same as the one comes pre-installed on the device.
Hoe does this protector goes with dust? Not underneath, bit on top? The pre installed protector is a real dust catcher ...everything I get the phone out of my pocket I have to clean the screen from dust

Its far less of a dust/lint magnet. Id say 80 percent less attraction.
I just bought this protector as well, and installed it today.
It is exactly the same size as the pre-installed protector, which personally I like. That avoids issues with the curved screen, but is still large enough to protect the screen adequately when using a case. Of course the second benefit is that this is a case friendly screen protector. I have a cheap black TPU case similar to the spigen rugged armor, and they fit together without issue.
This is one of those healing/indestructible type protectors that have been around awhile, like an IQ Shield. I have used these on older devices, although I upgraded to TGSP on my last phone. I would have bought a TGSP for this phone, but apparently, the manufacturers have no clue what they're doing. I do like this type of protector. It is a wet application. This protector makes the screen appear slightly textured when viewed from extreme angles, but not much viewed straight on. I need to give it a full day to dry before I get too critical of it. The package came with two, and I'm likely to use these until a decent TGSP rolls around.

Yup, forgot to mention that. Still don't have any cosmetic problems with the film. Even the wrinkle I mentioned in the first post has corrected. I can actually see the film "heal" when I scratch it with my nail intentionally.
1 day followup: All the bubbles have disappeared. There is still very mild visible distortion that is present with every protector of this type. It doesn't bother me, but screen clarity perfectionists will probably complain. Again, its not a TGSP, but its great for what it is. No other issues.
Really waiting for it to get released in Europe.. So far only America, India as far as I can see. :/

You could go for the ultimate shield, which is basically the same type of screen protector.
Unlike the spigen it covers the whole front, I mean the area below the fingerprint scanner especially.
I don't know if there is any difference in thickness or coating.
The ultimate shield also has the same "orange skin effect" that was mentioned earlier in this thread, but u will barely see it when using your phone.
How's the scratch resistance on this one? I'm on my last Orzly TGSP, which lets in dust from ever side, I'm looking for alternatives that at least don't scratch.

After a quick clean an inspection i noticed one single micro scratch. This is since day before original post.
Just installed this today. Haze from the liquid went away within hours and so far so good!
There is an "orange peel effect" and it doesn't feel like glass but those are a given, and expected, so no points off for these two things.
It's much better than any tgsp that I've tried, simply due to the fact that it's edge to edge. I couldn't stand
1. The lack of adhesive on the sides
2. The sides being significantly cut off
The "wet install" allows for you to have a perfect install as well, as you can slide it around and adjust it perfectly, before finally setting it in place.
I'll see how it holds up over time and will update this post if anything unusual happens with it!
I will also try and get some pics soon (if I remember lol)
For those of you with this screen protector, how did you end up aligning it correctly? There's a small amount of space around each cutout and I found with my initial installation that while those were lined up, with the Rugged Armor case installed I had a small gap on the right side.
Amazon's instructions say to install with the case already on but Spigen's does not so thought I'd ask how others got theirs to line up correctly.
I installed one of these tonight. I did it with the Spigen case installed, and centered the protector on that. Waiting for it to cure and lose the bubbles. It didn't look that bad to start and 3 hours later it is looking better.
At this point I would pay a premium for flat glass! I just don't enjoy these phones like I used to without a nice perfect TGSP!

How'd you end up getting rid of the excess water? Did you remove the case after putting on the screen protector?

I removed the case and wiped it down with the cloth. I left it out of the case to dry / cure.

On the Spigen install video at install.spiegen.com for the case friendly S8, they show putting it on with the case on. That's what I did. Spigen calls it full coverage but compatible with Spigen case.
After installing it then removing the case for drying and curing, the bubbles disappeared after about 18 hours, but I have one piece of trash trapped. After putting the case back on, it seems compatible but the film goes out to the border of the Spigen case without touching it, except it barely touches on the bottom. It is a very close fit, I believe putting it on without the case would cause problems with alignment.
Overall not bad, it is easier to align the film with the case on. The touch feel is OK for me.
So I received the 3D tempered glass yesterday and applied it.
Here are my thoughts:
It ships pretty quickly (at least in India) and comes in a nice box for safety.
The tempered glass is really nice to touch and feels solid and smooth.
All tools provided are really nice quality. Although, I was expecting an alcohol swab as well which wasn't included in the box.
Applying the screen protector is.. HARD. Only proceed if you're really experienced with applying one. I've applied over 20 protectors by now (I know it's not a lot, but hey!) and they were nothing compared to this one.
Before applying the TGP, make sure you wash your hands, switch on as many lights as possible, switch off the fan/reduce the AC blow as you don't wanna mess up with lint on your phone.
The amount of bubbles that come on the screen are just crazy. Thankfully they'll provided us with a squeegee which helps nicking the bubbles down. Keep in mind, it is a crazy task. I took approx 20 mins to remove all the bubbles. Hell! they were difficult to squeeze out.
Pro tip: Clean your TPU case thoroughly before applying the TGP otherwise the amount of dust which comes along is crazy! Trust me, I regret not cleaning it. Caused me to nick a small part of my glass which looks ugly now, but I think I can live with that.
I'd say the TGP is not the 'perfect' fit when you're trying to install it with the TPU case on. Otherwise, it looks and feels good with the case and a perfect fit when everything is done.
It does have thick borders. Nothing that'll make you go crazy. It'll cover a tiny bit of screen from all sides. So, in Chrome, I can't see the scrollbar after applying the TGP. At the bottom of the screen, it's a bit more curved which can lead to approx 0.1mm of text being cut off. Nothing major.
If you guys have any other questions, fire away!
Does the phone feel more thick?

Kinda, yes. It is glass so obviously it's going to add little weight and thickness to the phone.
I can say one thing, it's a million times better than the factory screen protector.
I had a lot of grief applying mine, gave up in the end and binned it, I followed none of the instructions above!
Oh and I had a hangover...so £20 down the toilet.

In what ways is it a "million times" better?
I also put it on my phone---I've done lots and lots of these before, including whitestone dome. The oneplus was quite tricky. I still ended up with two bubbles along the right side where the black border is. Won't even squeeze out. That sucks. Otherwise no complaints. Don't even notice it's on. I especially like the smoothness of the edges. Makes offscreen/edge gestures nice---no sharp edge.
Overall, I'm pretty "meh" on it. I'd love a dome but they said "not doing it".
why are the borders black? I mean, if they were transparent they wouldn't block anything from the screen. For me, the black boarders are a high design fail.

Not sure but it's mean to improve the 3D effect.
The only question I have for you is if you can apply mine for me? Haha I'm super OCD about the way my screen looks but I'm not very good at screen protectors...

Haha! I wish I could. I'll give you one advice though, don't apply the screen protector if you're super OCD about it. Reason? I got two bubbles pop in after 24 hours of applying. Granted that I just had to press on the screen again to make them disappear but the glue randomly comes off I guess? Also, it's **** hard to apply it for anyone.
I was surprised at how easy I found it to apply, maybe because I have messed up so many in the past!
I feels great, I love it. Tiny black border, but it doesn't bother me at all.
I just got mine in the mail and applied it as soon as I got home and washed my hands. Set everything out and set about putting it on. I've applied tons of protectors and skins. Tempered glass are my favorite to apply because of how easy they are. As others have said this one gave me a little tight, the glass is stiffer than anything I've worked with before. Or maybe it just feels that he way, but the free bubbles remaining absolutely required the squeegee tool to niggle them out. I've gotten them all out now and I love this protector. I dropped something on my standard protector like the week I bought the phone and it cracked the protector so I've been waiting for this to come.
It does add some thickness obviously, but it's not too bad. I have the fabric backed case and the sandstone case and it sits exactly at the edges of those cases.
As to the question of the black border, I'm trying to see if I can see anything missing and I can't tell yet. I've tried angling the phone and trying to look "under" the edges but couldn't see anything. I know with previous curved edge screens the border was there to hide the fact that it wouldn't fit exactly "flat" on the border. The black edge hid the halo ring, not sure if that's the case with this protector though since I've read they will be coming out with a full clear one, although I'm not a 100% on that source. I'll post pics shortly.
They may not be top quality all I had to take the photos with was my wife's tablet at the moment, but should give you an idea of what it looks like. Showed pics with both cases and naked.
i just got mine and finished applying it. It does take patience for sure, i had a ton of bubbles but patience, the microfiber, squeegee and fingernails and they are all worked out and it looks perfect. by far the best despite the small bit of loss from the black border.
My screen protector came like this. It seems like the adhesive was spread unevenly or something. I'm currently waiting for the response from OnePlus support.
I purchased and applied one as well (USA). It's by far the best one I've tried so far, but it's a downright awful screen protector as far as an OEM accessory goes.
Save your money for now, like most OnePlus stuff you'll need to wait a while for them to realize their mistakes and come out with a proper implementation.
The mounting process is by far one of the most difficult and involved I've ever experienced. The printed instructions are missing so much detail, but thankfully it directs you to a video. I followed the video as exactly as I could. The screen protector comes mounted to a very rigid "plate" of plastic and is firmly adhered to it. Removing it from this plate takes so much force that I was worried I would break the screen protector at times. Due to this it takes quite some time to remove it safely, which gave plenty of time for the adhesive side of the protector to be exposed to the open air for dust and debris to get in. The point of the usual flimsy plastic sheet on the adhesive side of most screen protectors is that you can fold it over and slowly peel it off as you apply the glass. OnePlus seems to have decided to re-engineer the application process for no apparent or advantageous reason, resulting in an inferior and flawed process.
Like OP said, there are so many bubbles to remove after the initial application. The black edges are there to conceal the fact that the protector cannot perfectly adhere to the curved edges of the device's screen. These imperfections bleed in air under the protector and hours after installing it I had to keep going back and working out bubbles.
For how much these things cost there are so many issues is laughable.
It comes packaged nicely...

It's probably due to how firmly glued the screen protector is to that plastic plate. The adhesive probably tore off while it was being removed.

I thought of that too. It wasn't an issue with the OnePlus 5T screen protector and sure as hell it shouldn't be an issue at all at that price. I'm hoping that OnePlus will step up in this situation.
I've seen gaps in the adhesive on other screen protectors before. The PureArc for my S9+ had it and that had a traditional backing

I bought one of these and some of the ones of Amazon the OEM was definitely disappointing the application process alone was horrendous..the ones on Amazon all have the same issue that the in display fp reader is almost non operable after a while...even though I have re-registered my print multiple times...for now I'm just gonna go screen protector less till better options become available.

First time for me to use a screen protector. I've used the factory ones on my previous OP devices (6T, 6, 5T, 3). The 6T screen protector appears to be utter crap. After one month of normal usage it not only developed a few small bubbles but also a nice tear in it right over the keyboard making it a downright nuance to use. I could deal with the bubbles but the tear in it was the catalyst to get rid of it. Iit was like a zit and was rough to run your finger over while using keyboard. No bueno.
So I dug around a few threads didn't see much success. Poor fitment. Poor seller. Rainbow effects. etc. etc. etc.
Decided to make a trip to my local T-Mobile store. Bought the Puregear unit they had in stock. It's a bit pricey $39.99+tax but fits like a glove. Screen looks nice. The stock case fits over it without anything obvious protruding.
Other than cost cannot complain. Weird it's not listed on Puregear's website...
EDIT: Edited as I got a second camera to take the photos of it on the OnePlus 6T.
So is it slightly wider than the screen? Cause it looks very similar to the Nillkin which is only 10 bucks.
I think it lines up well with the screen. For some reason the last photo I put up isn't showing so I"ll throw it here.
Upon further inspection, there may be a faint rainbow effect actually on the edges.

Go to my post 294 for some tips. Make sure you align it perfectly. There is really no room for error on the sides.

The puregear doesn't do it that badly and not near the top. It's on the sides near the middle and minimal at best.

The top and bottom of the Nillkin are perfect it's just the sides that are not forgiving it skewed to one side. If you align it as close to perfect you will be happy with it.

You win some you lose some. Opted to pay for easy return and easy testing. I use the phone enough that I didn't want to wait thanks to the stock one getting messed up badly.
Now, I need to find one for the OnePlus 6 (not the 6T). My wife wants one for her device. Any recommendations on that front?

Don't have a 6 but Nillkin I think makes one for the 6 too.
By the way if you are happy with yours that's all that matters. I was real close on buying the Puregear. If the Nillkin did not work out I would of bought it too.
I went with the official op6t tempered glass protector. Works great perfect fit.

Thanks a lot it seems like the best choice after the PureGear one
I just picked up a Puregrear today and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. The install was fine and adheres smoothly without any bubbles. But it's slightly too narrow. It fits well on the top and bottom but on both sides there is a sliver of visible screen that is not covered by the glass. It's not all that noticeable if looking directly dead on, but if the phone is even slightly angled you see thick line across the screen and it's a little annoying.

I also just applied a Puregear and have a small strip on the right side of the screen that isn't covered, but on the left side it lined up. I had also ordered and returned the XtremeGuard TGSP because it didn't cover the entire screen, and the Puregear does significantly better despite not quite covering everything.
Overall, I really like the look and feel of the glass compared the preapplied protector, and I don't notice the uncovered part unless I look for it. I'll keep it for now, but if I needed a new protector I'd probably try the official OP glass or whatever else is performing well for other folks here.
FWIW, I was able to use a coupon code to get a $10 discount when I ordered it from their website, so at least I didn't pay full price.
