Hello all. I have been waiting for SGP to make the crystal screen protector for the prime. While browsing for accessories I came across this promising prospect. This screen protector is not made by SGP but it way be worth your consideration. This brand is advertised as Armor Suit. I am going to order mines now and will provide and update on its use.

Update 2-11-2012
I received mine yesterday at work. As soon as I got home I opened the package and applied the new screen protector. The instructions recommend keeping the tablet off for about 24 hours after application before use. I did miss one part of the instructions which says to wet both sides of the screen protector. Make sure you do this because it will help you remove the liquid and bubble better with the rubber card. It has been over 12 hours since the application and it is curing nicely. I still have about 10 tiny wet bubbles that I am hoping will dry out before I say that it is perfect. One thing I did notice when I removed by prime from its folio case is that I had a tiny scratch a quarter of an inch up above the Asus logo. I was very upset about that because I handle my tablet like a baby, unless somehow the scratch was caused my the inside material of the case. Anyways, the good thing about this screen protector is that now you can no longer see the scratch. If this continues to cure like I hope it does, I will order another one for my girlfriends prime. Did I mention that wifi and GPS performance also improved after the application ??? Lol jk. The screen did lose a little of its smooth glide when swiping with your finger but that should improve over time. Touch response has been the same otherwise. I will provide an update in a couple of days once it has cured some more. If any of you reading this have purchased and installed the product, please provided your experience. I would like to know if the quality is consistent.
***Important***
Just an FYI to those who use the keyboard dock and are considering installing this screen applicator, removing the prime in and out of the keyboard dock is extremely tight and is marking up the screen protector film where the dock and screen meet. I am going to contact the manufacturer about this to see if they are aware of this issue...

looking forward to your update! only problem i have with their listing on amazon is that i says its non sticky, but also says its self healing... i sell screen protectors in a sprint store. from my experience, the self healing ones tend to be the orange peels and rubbery (sticky) kind. but if im wrong, please let me know! interested in this!

Will do, I received my order confirmation last night. Standard shipping so maybe sometime next week I will have it.
Lifetime warranty means you'll ruin 5 of them just trying to install them! This is why right now I'm not wearing a condom on my Prime. If I can't get the perfect screen protector on there perfectly then I just won't do it at all. I'm fairly careful with the front and I may eat my words one day.
Mine should be here today thanks to prime shipping I will give my feedback on this protector later this afternoon
Ok abit of an update, just installed the protector first impressions are this
Install was the best ive done in about 10 protector installs over the years, protector comes off the backing with very little pull, enough solution that i was able to wet my fingers twice and soak the adhisive side and front side well enough that it only took one attemt to postion the protector to the screen and boom it was done after a little squgiing with the rubbery card they give you, i had 3 tiny bubbles that came out easily then 2 slightly smaller bubbles along the top rim that im just gonna have to wait out till tomorrow
So so far im enjoying it, havnt noticed any imperfections, cut outs were extremely accurate now to just wait
Edit: The feels exactly like the screen if not a bit smoother at the moment not sure if this will remain but its pretty slick at the moment

Sending a thanks your way for your update. Later this afternoon I still had a couple of bubbles that I was to impatient on waiting to see if they would dry out and disappear so I decided to apply some of the solution on top of the surface and opted to use a credit card to push out the remaining bubbles (I did not like using the included rubber applicator much.) One Important item that I did not realize until now is that getting the tablet to dock with this screen protector is really, really tight. This may be a deal breaker for some. I don't use the keyboard dock all the time but it looks like the constant swap will make the screen protector look a little beat up at the bottom...

If it's clear and not matt, hows the anti fingerprint part of it working out?
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
It seems to resist printing fairly well, I'd say it really only has showed them with hard swipes of the finger such as maybe playing fruit ninja for abit but just normal presses it rarely leaves one

That's understandable. This is my first time using a wet screen protector. I wasn't concerned about damaging the prime because I have the accidental protection plan.
Do you have to pay for the replacements? I know most of these "lifetime replacement" types you have to pay $5-$10 just to get them to mail you a new one.

aww thanks dood! i totally forgot about the protection plan! did you go through squaretrade?
back on topic: went with an Acase matte anti glare, dry install. took literally over an hour to get it perfect, but i did it. wish it woulda been easier, but im just too shy of the wet installs...
I'm looking for a top quailty anti-glare screen protector. I mainly want the anti-fingerprint part of it, but I like the matte screen look too. I had a Acase one on there, but the anti-fingerprint wasn't that great. I really wish Realook would come out with one for the Prime, b/c their's are awesome (have it on my phone). Realook (http://www.realook.us/dales_html/) has almost a textured feel to it, which is beyond awesome for keeping finger prints off. I have a email into them now to see if they plan on making one for the Prime.
I'm also thinking about NuSheild too:

I can tell you the armor suit does very well reducing finger prints. Your fingers glide smoothly across the screen. Now this is something I am going to try my best to describe, when typing ( I use thumb keyboard) you sort of get what feels like a slight rubber bounce with each press, I actually like that. Obviously its going to feel different then just typing on the glass but for me it works.
Tempered glass screen protectors. Anyone using them? I have put one on my iphone 5s and was really impressed. Found a no name brand and it worked well for $6. I can't pay alot for them. Goes against that sale instinct in me!
So it made me look for one for the mega. I had a cheap glare free plastic one on temporarily which was fine, but I wanted a glass one. Hard to find. Here's what I bought. $12.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111253895644?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Put it on last nite. I used the hinged method, with an extra piece of tape on the free side for precise placement. It went on beautifully, but I thought I was sloppy cause I saw a fingerprint after application, and I was really mad at myself. But I was so meticulous, I couldn't believe it.
The more I worked with it, I saw it wasn't a fingerprint, but a portion of adhesion that didn't stick the size of a fingerprint. I worked it more, maybe the warmth of my fingers finally got it to adhere. So I was not sloppy afterall. If you have this problem, just give it a little time. I almost was tempted to lift it and clean, resisted the thought, and I was rewarded for my patience. It's a perfect application 8 hours later.
I'm a perfectionist.... Couldn't do it lol selling my mega anyways

I can never fit a screen protector without getting a bit of dust underneath it, I'd hate to do that with a glass one.

I have applied 2. the iphone was perfect, the mega ended up with 1 tiny speck of dust on the top- off the screen, in the black perimeter. It only bothers me cause I know it's there. lol. If you use the hinged method, with that extra piece on the free end, and use a tape roll on the screen (tape rolled around your finger with the sticky side out) after you clean it, and right before you peel stage 1 on the protector do it again, you should be good. There are some pretty inexpensive glass ones now available. No way would I try it with a $30 one. I paid $12 for the mega one and that was big $$ for me!! lol
I also hear if you put your screen saver on after someone showers in the steamy bathroom it cuts down on all the dust! (tip from G) I never resorted to this, wanting to be comfortable at a table that has been cleaned well.
you need to use the hinge method, with some tape on the side of the sceen protector/phone before you peel of the bottom part, but theres another trick i learned which i practice and lets me put a screen protector 100% perfect...
you do all this in the bathroom, before you do tho, you turn on the shower with hot water, and let the room get steamy.. picks up all the flying arrownd dust, and your screen protector will be 100% perfect.
try it on, thank me later.
I have one of the screen protectors, i can say they are awesome, they make your screen feel so buttery smooth, I bought the Glass.m one and i havent got any finger print mark or oil, or even dust applying it.

Absolutely!!! If you mess up the application, you chalk it up to experience. Although if you are careful, check out videos on youtube, and follow the tips here, you should be good for a terrific application! Just be mindful of dust. That's your worst enemy and will create bubbles. So dust proof all you can. I work on my kitchen table that has been dusted and windexed. dust off all my tools and use tape rolls. roll the tape around your finger and pretend you are removing dog hair. But it is invisible dust. Then go for it! I never tried the shower trick. I hear it really helps. but again, make sure the surface you are working on is really clean. Good luck!
I found mine on ebay. Amazon has them, but charges shipping.

Tepshine / PThink Glass Protector - Good!
Got this one for my i527 a few days ago:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICZ4GE6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Went on very easily once I removed the hard shell case I had on the phone. Comes with moistened cleaning cloth and microfiber cleaning cloth and I didn't need to mess with hinging or scotch tape or anything else. Used both cloths to clean the screen and quickly applied the screen protector and NO TRAPPED DUST.
It's only been a few days, but no bubbles, no slipping, and everything seems to work with no lag. Even hovering still works.
-Z
just got mine from overseas for a whooping penny. Only problem is the button is sunk down a little bit. guess ill get use to it. putting it on is easy. you can lay it on and slip it around before you push on the middle to get it to set. mine came out perfect
Just be careful on where you get it, I got my first one and the glass got messed up from the cleaning I did and when I tried to get the lint hair out of the adhesive part of the screen it broke. Now on to my second glass (privacy shade) and the only defect is that it is a little too thick for touch response but it serves it's purpose (touch still responsive at times)

i have it on my Mega ( i9205 ) and i must say it saves the life of the screen. dropped it several times and only thing that breaks is the temperred glas so i ordered several times on ebay and apply goes easy, just clean the screen and see if the bottom and the top fits then drop it on the screen
it will apply by it self in a minute
then just gently push it till all ends are applied.
and to be sure use a hair dryer over it.
got my 3rd tempered glass now since 26-05-2014 and still no scratches/burst of something weird its just perfect.

to make sure it sticks good on the screen because it has a sticking layer and since its glass it.
thats how i did mine, took me not even 10 minutes to apply and its perfect applied
Ok so I got this today (surprised because it just mailed yesterday)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CDVZAH6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So as far as fitment goes, it fits perfect. It allows for the Spigen thin fit case to go on just fine. It covers all the areas of the screen. I am however not a fan that the camera does not have a cutout.
Secondly I am most definitely not a fan of the dot matrix on the display. It doesn't detract from the screen when on but it definitely is noticeable when off.
Third, touch sensitivity is definitely inhibited in the bottom right corner of the protector (hitting return or smilies). Also, it's hard to bring up Samsung Pay easy pay feature as well.
Fourth, when typing there is a slight sound of the protector hitting the screen (I don't think there is adhesive on the screen part and only on the black areas).
I really had high hopes for this protector but overall I'm a bit meh with it. I want just glassglass, clear no dot matrix and adheres. I might try a regular just part of the flat glass.
EDIT
After running the protector now for a couple of days I can honestly say I am going to get rid of this and based on other reviews out right now, go with a plastic protector.
I went out yesterday and it was a nice sunny day. I pulled my phone out and immediately saw the dot matrix display even with the phone on (and it actually made it a little more difficult to see things).
EDIT 4/4/16
I got the new updated version of the protector. They have done some things to try and improve it and it is marginally better than before but the deractors are still there.
Touch issues still present in the bottom right and along bottom edge of the screen, dot matrix still there (albeit a lot less pronounced than before). It definitely is thinner than before (but still thick enough to notice when touching the home key.
All that aside, it is definitely one that I can deal with for a while until something else comes along
The search for something that fits continues!

Just got mine.. Got it installed & then immediately ripped the piece of **** right back off.. I can echo all the same negatives & then add that it is thick enough that it was difficult to get the fingerprint scanner to work. The adhesive is a sticker that is indeed placed just around the black parts. Also of note is that this DOES NOT contour to the screen. It is just blackened where you would otherwise see the halo effect.
Bummer. I had high hopes here. Guess I'm glad I never got a reply when I emailed them as per their instructions.

lol I never saw that deal till afterwards. I paid full price for mine.. I have requested a return on this thing. So not worth the money. the ones that dont give full coverage would be better.

Since I didn't pay for it, I'm going to leave it on until I can find a partial coverage one that works.
Just received mine too. Similar thoughts.
What I like:
- The ports and cutouts line up very well with the device.
- Screen is very smooth and feels much like the actual screen itself
- Did not degrade touch sensitivity for me. Sounds like this might be hit or miss, but for me I didn't notice any difference, I specifically tested corners and borders. ** After more use, I have noticed degraded touch sensitivity along the corners and lower portion of the screen
- Fairly thick, I prefer this but this is subjective
What wasn't so great:
- Dot pattern can be seen and is very noticeable. Not nearly as noticeable when the screen is on however.
- Adhesive only on the edges and bezel areas. Again, for mine it does not make any noises when I tap the screen but I also would prefer a screen protector that adheres to the entire screen.
- ** Decreased touch sensitivity
Overall assessment: A few minor issues but I'll definitely be keeping it on. For those who use the fingerprint reader, it may not be the best choice it makes just enough of a thickness difference to make the home button actuation feel different. I like the thickness however, and it actually matches the Samsung clear case very well.

Let me know. I received one of the first "freebie" ones....ended up taking it off, as I couldn't deal with the dot matrix combined with the missed taps I was experiencing. Never got anything else about a new version, so I guess you're a lucky 2 time guinea-pig

Touch issues still present in the bottom right and along bottom edge of the screen, dot matrix still there (albeit a lot less pronounced than before). It definitely is thinner than before (but still thick enough to notice when touching the home key.
All that aside, it is definitely one that I can deal with for a while until something else comes along

Glad to hear it's better than it was. I've since moved to the S7 Edge. Unfortunately, seems nobody has been able to make a competent Tempered screen protector for that device lol.
the official oneplus 5 screen protector is about 2mm too small and doesn't fix the phone all the way around. It's supposed to be "3D" so it would hug the screen all the way around, but ends up pushing up on all sides because of the shape of it causing bubbles. I've attached several pictures showing that the application of it is perfectly centered in the pictures of the home and ear speakers. there's also a black border all around the screen protector on all the non-screen parts which ens up actually cutting off a few pixels around the entire screen..... you can see it completely cuts off a '0' in the recorder app, and the app drawer's scroll bar is almost completely cut off as well....
I've contacted OnePlus support and they declined my rma claim stating the below:

which is laughable.... not just for the fact that they refused to acknowledge the issue, but the video is really low quality and is for applying a plastic screen protector to the oneplus one........ gee thanks support...

Thanks for the heads-up man! I was about to order it.
I installed mine yesterday. I also have the black parts cutting off the pixels on the sides..
I ordered a Nillkin today, hoping it will fit better.
Totally agree. Watched this video by @niijonodhg , saw it in his thread and it turned me off it totally! £18 for that crap? Bit disgraceful tbh. Purchased this Orzly one instead. Had it for my op3, and another video by the same guy said it was better then last year and he preferred it then the 3d glass one!
This was already known about and was shown in the video below...
It showed similar problems to their previous ones, namely when you're on the bootloader screen the protector cuts off some of the text because it's protruding onto the actual display area. He also showed the same problem as you @Nomelas, whereby the edges were not adhering properly.
I've got the Orzly protector (none of the cases I've ordered have arrived yet sadly) and it seems great (it does show fingerprints a little and there's a tiny bit of rainbowing), it's 2.5D rather than 3D, it also has a black border on it but it doesn't protrude onto the screen like the official one it also seems to be the favoured protector on the forums at the moment, here's a review of that one.
@niijonodhg (aka Absolutely Savage on YouTube) made these and is apparently doing a series of reviews, all very helpful
Here's the obligatory Orzly official application and test video:
They also show how well it works with a couple of the official cases.
I bought the original tgsp from OP.
I would not recommend that one.
Hard to apply without air on the sides/corners.(No dust)
And covers way too much of the screen!
Still trying to get my money back. As it is way too much for such a bad design.
If I keep the phone I will try to find a good replacement.
I honesly not sure why they are still selling them. Like most people in this thread already say. Orzly's TGSP does a much better job.
I have used same protector on OP3T and already installed to OP5 also.
Cutting couple pixels is said on product information. Im assuming you all readed it before ordering so you should know that. Also i dont have any bubbles, nice and clean installation without any issues so bubbles are user installation fault.
Comparing this to Orzly:
OP:
+ Adhesive on full screen part: its harder to install but really clear visiblity on screen, no gap between tgsp and screen and no oil slicks.
+ Really great oleophotic coating
+- Cutting off less than mm from both sides of screen. Its told on Oneplus website whem ordering (product information). Its so small that it dont bother me almost at all.
Orzly:
+ Dont cut as much as OP's own.
- Glue/adhesive only on edges which will cause small gap between screen and tgsp=not so clear visiblity as it would be if adhesive would been full screen. Also big possiblity for oil slicks. Also possiblity to pull of easier.
- Bad oleophotic coating

I got it in the bundle with the case, ear buds and 150mm extra dash cable (but no extra adapter....) and while it was basically free, I'm still pissed at the false advertising.... why would they sell a defective product? its a clear rip off. They probably made them all and by then it was too late so now they're trying to get rid of them, greasy imo.....
If it wasn't for this one (major) flaw, I'd say it would have been an amazing screen protector. I'll probably still use it until it scratches or breaks then get that orzly one.
EDIT: also, I'm pretty positive that disclaimer was NOT there when I ordered my phone on the 20th:
Disclaimer
To ensure the curved screen protector offers optimal protection while maintaining the sleek look of the OnePlus 5, the colored border extends over the edges of the display by approximately 0.9 mm.

Disclaimer was there same time when sales started. How i know? I ordered exactly same package than you!
Tell me how it's defective product? Because you messed up installation and got bubbles? That dont make product defective. Cut off is intentional, otherwise they wouldnt manage to do full adhesive, only side ones which is bad.

yeah I guess I lack the Doctor Strange ability to bend reality... my bad.
On another note, it's funny how a 3rd party can make a better fitting screen protector. I'll definitely be getting the Orzly.
And for the price, you'd think OnePlus would put a bit more R&D into it, like using a ruler.

Funny how you are crying how defective product is and when you are asked what makes product defective you answer with some stupid comments. For me it looks now like its defective because you messed installation and you didnt read disclaimer when you ordered.
You are free to buy what ever you want. My opinion is Orzly isnt better that OP's own, your opinion is that it is better and im fine with that.

I have seen all of videos but still dont see anything which would show about defective product. Maybe your piece was. Mine is just perfect without any bubbles.
It isnt design flaw, it was meaned to be like that because you wouldnt get full adhesive without it. It they would leave that area clear it would been look ugly because of halo and people would start cry. They choosed to not use "glue on sides" method as they even know that method is bad and screen wouldnt be as clear as without protector or with full adhesive screen protectors.

Well if i would need to choose between these:
1. Full adhesive: Drawback it will cut off your screen about 0,3mm per side but you have really clear view of your screen and no gap.
2. Side glues: No screen cut off, but gap between screen snd tgsp and because of that not that clear view either.
I would definetely choose option 1. They didnt have options if they wanted full adhesive.
Cut-off is so small that it wont even bother me and many other user as almost all apps has gapps on side before real content shows. Ofcourse i would like without cut-off but it dont bother me and i still prefer OP's official because of full adhesive and best oleophotic coating i have seen.
BTW, Orzly for OP3/3T had cut-off too. It was only like 0.1mm from both sides but it still was cut-off. And im almost sure they still have it, especially when OP5 is littlebit smaller than 3T was.

It's more like 0.9mm on EACH side which is very significant actually if you consider 401 ppi on the screen meaning you get almost 30 pixels cut off from each line from left to right. Factor in the height of 1920 pixels you lose 57,600 total pixels on your phone. Now, take into account there's a total of 2,073,600 pixels on the screen, you actually lose close to 3% of your total screen behind unnecessary screen protector bezels.
Hell, I'd gladly take 0.1mm over 0.9mm
Fought with oneplus and they now approved my claim for a replacement. Seems they at least acknowledge the issue but I doubt a replacement will solve anything. We'll see when I get it I guess.

good for you. I am in the process of fighting with them too because after my flawless installation, there began to accumulate dust under where the proximity sensor is. They told me its my fault because there was dust underneath before i installed it. wtf.
i have never dealt with such inept customer "support" I tweeted, chatted, emailed and called them today and supposedly a supervisor is reviewing my claim.
I have not taken it off yet, because despite its flaws, it adheres to (almost) the whole screen, and while i have orzly waiting, i cant stand the rainbow oil slick due to the lack of complete adhesive.

That also is happening to me. I'm going to hold onto the replacement and I bought the orzly to try out. We'll see which is better. Either way I'll have one extra of each after replacing this one.
Just returned this from Amazon.

Unfortunately the outer 4mm does not stick down because the outer edge of the screen is slightly curved.
I'm sure the same will apply for every glass protector.
Having the same issue with this one too.
The SP is too big - so edges wont stay stuck down - even though they have been sized considerably smaller than the actual front glass area.
I have also ordered a non-glass SP - but the only one I could find was matte / anti-glare... Most of the previous anti-glare SPs I have tried mess up the display quality too much. So, not holding out too much hope for this one...
Was searching for a case while out shopping and while in a office depot type store they suggested a liquid screen protector. Turned out they offered the service in store and the employees all genuinely seemed enthusiastic about it having it on their own phones.
Never heard about it, cost was £10 so thought why not with little or no other options.
How a nanotechnology liquid can protect against scratching I'm not sure but better than nothing.
I got an antiglare one which really helps. Was in a pack of two. Tried the first one and was having the same issue as op. Cut the second one to my needs, still not neat on all the edges but it wont come off and fulfills its job.
Update: I received the matte one and fitted it.
Coverage is acceptable and the anti glare effect is not as bad in terms of graininess and impact on screen quality as others I have used.
But it does not look as good as the best one (cant remember the brand) I used previously.
I did not get it 100% perfectly lined up - so it is not sticking down perfectly along one edge - probably because it is not correctly centered and overruns on that side.
The other 3 sides are stuck down well.
Early days - but its a pack of 3 - so I can have another attempt if this one starts lifting...
Last Friday I also ordered some clear SPs from Ebay - in case the matte ones were rubbish.
I ordered this three pack - and the ones I received are Techgear brand. I have not fitted them yet - as I want to see how I get on with the matte ones.
However, I have used Techgear SPs on several phones over the past few years and they are generally of a reasonable quality....

I sent my M8 back - it would not resume after pausing a HD Netflix movie (despite resetting and re-installing etc).
So if anybody wants the above unused pack of Techgear SPs and you are based in the UK - just reply here to claim and then drop me a PM with your address. I will stick a stamp on them and send them your way..
Cheers.

So, are these downloaded or realtime streaming? I am using downloads during my commute.
I tried 3 different titles in HD - and older Black Mirror episode and two more recent Stranger Things 2 episodes. All do the same - they play ok, until I pause and turn the screen off. But when I turn the screen back on, the screen stays black - I can see the Netflix controls but they don't respond. I waited several seconds but still nothing. I then have to return to the home screen, open Netflix again , goto downloads and resume whatever I was watching. And since I have to pause and resume several times during my commute the whole routine becomes a bit tedious...
And when you add the occasional Bluetooth headphone connectivity issues - the M5 was no longer worth keeping.
Who knows maybe I will revisit in a few months time - after a few firmware updates....
Streaming. Will have to try downloaded and see if I have the same problem.
Has anyone sourced a decent screen protector for the M5 yet? I got mine a couple of days ago and I'm terrified of getting the screen damaged.

I use BROTECT® AirGlass® Premium Glass Screen Protector Clear, seems ok, easy to apply, flexible enough to lift it up to pick out dirt trap under while installing it.
It claims to be glass, yet flexible. I tried to bend and fold a bit of left over and it cracks like glass. However when I burn it, it melt like plastic. So I am not too sure if it is glass or plastic TBH.
I really need to get one soon as I made the mistake of thinking that it would have a factory fitted film-type one, like the one on the P20 Pro. But after finding a minute scratch on mine yesterday, I've found out to my cost, that it hasn't. It mustn't have gorilla or any other sort of toughened glass either.

Then go get one, anyone even the cheapest plastic film will protect your screen than bare back. You can find others that may fit better later on. One thing is not to expect full glass edge to edge protection, the glass is curved, so even if it is just display edge to display edge, I am happy.

I've just ordered the brotect airglass from amazon so thanks for the recommendation. It's a bit pricey compared to other protectors, so I'm hoping it's a case of "you get what you pay for". I already got the official Huawei flip cover so this has given a degree of protection in the meantime.

No problem. Good luck with your installation. I wet applied mine and only got 1 dust under mine. Given how flexible it is, I use a needle to lift it and another needle to remove the dust. Now it just looks perfect with no air bubbles or dust.

Great call on the brotect protector. I was a bit dubious of it at first as there was quite a lot of detritus and dust on the surface of the protector when I took it out of the packaging. But I managed to get it fitted with no dust particles or bubbles. It would've been easier to line up if the starting end was switched to the fingerprint detector end as well. But the end result is very good.
