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!

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.
does the invisibleshiled protect my device when it´s falling down to the ground?? or will the phone be damaged??

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.

Does the cover on the back come off? I'm confused now.

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.
could anyone please post some pictures of the invisibleshield on tp2??

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.
Hi guys,
Is there a pre applied screen protector on the Tablet S? Looking closely at the corners of the screen to does look like it but I haven't found any confirmation of this. I have a scratch on my screen and would obviously like to fix that.
Note that it was exactly like this on my Sony Ericsson Xperia arc where I just removed the pre fit screen protector and found a perfectly unscathed glass screen below. SE however declares that they apply a "shatter proof film" to avoid cracked glass displays
Can anyone confirm for the Tablet S? Has anyone tried to remove it?
Thx
Mine never came with one lol
Are you sure? Looks exactly like my phone. You would never have guessed it is there and you need to look really closely.
I bought one last week, and I can confirm there is a screen protector on the Tablet. I bought it in The Netherlands
- SnEAky
Yes, there is indeed one applied from factory, just as there was with my Xperia Play. I did go ahead and add an anti-glare protector on top of mine so I essentially have two protectors on mind now, but I think for most the hassle and frustration of trying to apply a protector without dust/air bubbles etc, simply isn't worth it as you are already protected.
There is a screen protector on the Tablet S just like most of the Android phones from SonyEricsson.
It is quite different from what you can get in the market. The screen protector from the factory is to prevent cracks or breaks. The screen protectors selling on ebay or whatever amazon are for anti-scatching.
I was recommended not to removed the factory screen protector on my X10 once before but I did it. After removing the screen protector, the glass is quite fragile like iphone's. It ends up with cracks at the edge when I dropped my phone from my pocket. Because I was sitting at that moment, the height is approx. 30cm.
Sorry for my bad english.
Mine has a screen protector. It's a 16gb one from the US.
Thanks, looks like the scratch is just on the screen protector then which is good news
On Xperia phones we know it's fine to remove (providing you don't drop it) but would like to hear from someone with a Tablet S. The my scratches aren't big enough to motivate the increased risk of breaking the glass, yet at least..
I have scratch on my screen already, so worry... now since everyone said there is a screen protector I feel better...
It seems redundant to put another screen protector over the factory installed. I can tell there is one on mine since it feels like plastic when I touch the keyboard...Is everyone still putting the sony screen protector over the factory installed?
I did, but it was a b*tch to do so with all the bubbles. But I managed to get them all, but one. See no reason why not use an extra screen-protection when you got one.
Has anyone managed to get this screen protector off the screen? It's a terrible dust magnet so i want to get rid of it and put on the "other" sony one.

I used a fine kitchen knife and peeled it of gently. I did it on the sony lcd-protection. Not the pre-installed one.

Have you found that the sony screen protector has reduced screen sensitivity... especially when typing?
can't said that I had. Did not play around with the screen before i placed the protection over it. It feels fine and responsive. The only thing is that it gets a little harder when it's hot outside and your hands gets warm, but that goes for all touch-devices I guess.
ditto
the matte finish is worth any loss in sensitivity, its fine with the official sony extra cover on and the matte is a BIG diff.
In fact it was a major selling point for me IMO, saw it in store next to the samsung tabs and the glare was hilarious. It wasn't until I was checking the box contents that I realised that the matte finish was due to an extra cover, but since that was part of the deal I didn't care. I didn't realise that it would have any impact on touchscreen sensitivity (?), in my experience with other devices I've not seen such an effect.
I also bought the matte one and applied it over the "other" (since there seems to be no way to peel it of) screen protector. The matte finish is great, and the touch feeling is much better than before. The original screen felt sticky and kind of rubberish when swiping with the finger, the matte one feels more dry. Great improvement!
Didnt get one in the Netherlands, but myn Tablet was a Demo machine in a store
I bought the official Sony protector and I actually really don't like it. I got it on with no bubbles or dust, and the matte finish looks nice when you put it on and feels nice when swiping etc.
Unfortunately, in my case, the touch sensitivity took a steep dive and made swiping vertical lists, vertical combo boxes, etc a real pain to do. By far the worst thing I've found is that the official protector leaves horrid fingerprint marks all over the screen, which kind of ruins the Sony's lovely sleek and shiny looks.
I love my Tablet to pieces, but the official protector I bought here in Australia is truly dreadful.
Don't be a fool, leave the factory applied protector on. It would be like peeling the safety film off of your windshield on your car. There is no practical benefit from doing it.
Either buy a clear aftermarket one or the matte Sony one, but don't degrade your tablet. If you have kids, however, encase it in carbonite ASAP.
Hi
I have this case :
https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s8-case-crystal-shell
I tried both Samsung original plastic screen protector:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKnJsETNYQ
And the olixar case friendly glass screen protector.
Both suck. Either the touch is bad either the case lifts it up.
Can anyone recommend me a screen protector that will get a long with my case? or any combination of screen protector and a case that will work together?
No glue / wet apply please. Only conventional stuff
Thanks
From what I have seen the gpel case friendly screen protectors seem to be about the best option.
They come in clear or black edges I hear the clear shows dirt build up around the edges
Do you mean this one
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Friendly-Tempered-Satisfaction-Guarantee/dp/B06XWMZG5N
Cause it's rating is pretty poor
Whitestone dome?
How badly does it affect the touch?

Not at all... Touchscreen works perfectly. And works with lots of cases https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
It only takes some time to install it correctly, you can't rush it and expect great results.
But you better check some install videos, and the topics here on xda. Since this is glued to the screen, not just a strip on the edges, this feels as good as the naked screen and no dust can get beneath
I prefer something without glue/ liquids..
Whats the best dry apply option on the market?
It's wet apply, but I've had no issues with this one besides it taking a little extra time to adhere to the curved edges. it's been perfect on my case (not the same one) and looks good as well. Lifetime warranty too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072B8MLF3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was just curious that how many of you use your phone without any protection? I just started using like that and it feels really nice. The hyper-cut diamond finish gives a good grip to the hand.
I really like the feel of the phone in the hand, nicest I've had to hold, and is the only phone I ever use a case with...I just know if I leave it out the case there will be an expensive accident.
I use it without cover but with a glass screen protector
I don't use any glass or cover. I buy nice designed phones to feel the nice full metal unibody with a slim design.
If i would like to feel any cheap, fat plastic body i can buy a phone with a cheap plastic body.
I use xtremeskins UK sticker on top of back of my phone and plastic film screen protector as the one preinstalled has worn out. I have black carbon fibre version of the sticker with red accent on camera lens (which actually matches power button colour ) it looks cool and gives that extra grip.
Here is a link to website:
https://www.xtremeskins.co.uk/products/huawei-p10-skins?variant=36513341329
You can see for yourself how will your phone look like before you buy the actuall skin. The quality of a skin is amazing ,it's hardly add any bulk to the device and it does make it feel better in hand as well as add that extra wow factor when you pull out your phone from pocket.
I received my P10 on Thurs 07/12 and wanted to get a few opinions on whether i should remove the factory fitted screen protector prior to applying a glass screen protector or if i should just clean the factory fitted protector with the alcohol pads/swabs provided and stick the new glass screen protector on top?
Does the factory fitted protector reduce the clarity/sharpness of the screen in any way?
Would this be adequate:

Kind Regards
I'm using the original Huawei Flip cover and a full glass screen protector. As an electrician my hands aren't clean Everytime I grab my phone and sometimes I need to put some tools in the same pocket as the P10 is in.
But I hate the glass protector even it works very well. There's a black border around the whole protector and after a few month the protector doesn't fit perfectly anymore, it moved a bit to the left. The transparent part of the protector is a bit smaller than the screen and this is kind of annoying especially know it's moved.
I don't want to use a protector, but I think I need one. I don't want an ugly scratch on the screen.
Hi,
I removed the factory installed film in the screen and replaced it with a matte IQ Shield protector. It's great. It's not glass, but it has no reflections. Like most laptops.
Hello im Veronica and this is my first post owing this phone and im loving it! i bought a glass protection that come is curve design but it didnt fit well bubbles of air started to appear and i took it off
Have you tried the liquid protection ? i dont know the name of the product but is a liquid you put in the screen and it makes it hard
Please help me what do you use to protect it?
I use the uv Loca glue and glue on the curved tempered glass protectors on mine
Hi veronica. I own now an s8, but my previous phone was a galaxy s7 (the flat one), in which I had a tempered glass protector. But now, with the curved display of miss s8, the tempered glass I've found are not so great. I really don't recommend the liquid protection , that supposed nano tech solution. I've seen it, and its effects are practically none. U can't tell when u you've applied or not.
As the previous post says, the better solution is to take a tempered glass and UV glue between that and the gorilla glass, and dry it in the UV lamp. That way, u get a better protection, but need to try take out the air bubbles that may get in the process before dry.
I'm sorry if my English can't be excellent, because it's not my original language.
Greetings to u.
I also would be interested in mounting a tempered glass screen protector with a liquid adhesive and then drying it with a UV lamp. The end result looks very good, but I wonder if it does affect the screen of the phone. In case that I would like to remove the foil or replace it ... I do not know if the adhesive is "peaceful", if it leaves residual traces or I risk of having to change the touchscreen at the same time with the glass: D
I'd like to buy this: https://bit.ly/2SSQMZT (Aliexpress).
To be honest, the Spigen NeoFlex is the absolute best option in my opinion. I normally do not like these "Self-Healing" type but, it has been amazing, stays on all corners and I can continue to use my very light but very protective Spigen case as well. I normally do not like cases but the one I use is okay, especially since I have already shattered the front and rear of the phone once. Don't want to do it again.
I second this...

I've tried about 6 different tempered glass protectors, and all have either made it very difficult to pull down the top menu, or have gotten dust/lint behind the screen. Went to the Spigen NeoFlex 'film' and never looked back. In fact, I just ordered another set of them because I got polyurethane fingerprints on the screen while doing a wood railing. I had zero problems, it doesn't affect touch sensitivity. I will say that getting the sides to stay took a few minutes of work, but once stuck, it has stayed that way for 8 months so far. I paired it with a Spigen LiquidArmor case. I've dropped the phone onto my ceramic floors several times already and had no damage to the phone. I use wireless charging with no problems.
