I am looking for a screen protector
- with no front camera cutout
- that supports fingerprint unlock
What did you guys buy? What do you recomend?
Using the nilkin ones, but they don't cover the full glass and has a black bezel. I usually don't like those with the bezels as they seem to have something to hide there. Switching over to a full glass with UV glue one in a week's time, fingers crossed.
the nilkin ones have no cutouts and fingerprint works perfectly. similar to the full glass one that i just bought.
both bought on my local ecommerce store, but here's the link anyway for the full glass one, https://shopee.sg/Full-Cover-UV-Tem...reen-Protective-Glass-i.262589788.13832922399

Thanks, I might get some nilkin.
Also please report back to us about the tempered glass with UV glue once you get it.
The nilkin one isn't really tempered glass though, and after some time, it yellows out but not too big of an issue for me, was just surprised when I took it out.
The UV tempered one feels great and I love that it does not have the black bezel. However, not sure if it is just this brand or me but the glue might not have cured well, and the edges are coming off.

However, everything else is working great. In fact the front camera is better when compared to the nilkin one which causes a bit of a flare, wasn't too sure if it was like that from the start since I don't use the cameras often.
So currently I have switched back to the nilkin one, and noticed that the provided kit is slightly off, you'd need to shift it higher a little and it would be great which was what I did.
I guess the quest for SP has come to a pause for now.
But I did go on a bit of a hunt for the SP and their review, and with this being a China phone, the best place to search was on Taobao, and see if I can find something similar on Aliexpress. Finds below.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004346010642.html - one of the top ones, and seems pretty decent but pricier, from SmartDevil
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003187657681.html - 50/50 on this since the description images were similar and all, but that's about it. reviews from a russian didn't seem too good though.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003142091232.html - this looks okay, in terms of review but it might be one of those which only has glue around the edges, and you have a thin gap between the glass and the phone.
Apart from that, some learnings for the UV application ones.
It removes very well, and pretty much like a regular SP, kinda just a bit more DIY where the factory doesn't set the glue for you and the protector sheet (pretty smart, and cost-saving for them IMO)
When applying the glue down, videos show to have one big puddle in the middle or 3 smaller ones along the long axis of the phone. You have to make sure that your phone is leveled and not tilted else it will just flow off.
You have to then accurately set the glass down, and not move it or even press on it as this is what causes the bubbles, I've learnt.
Thereafter, apply the UV for a good 10 minutes without touching the device.
For the bubbles, what I tried was pressing them out to the side, and trying to fill with more of the liquid but doesn't quite work as well. That's it for now.

Installed and am very impressed. Gives the device a RUBBERY feel. I ordered the Full Body shield, and the part that covers the touch screen is great. I was concerned that touch sensitivity would be lost...contrary, it seems to work better!

I put the kit on mine yesterday. It is kind of a pita, but worth it in the end. Plus, allegedly, lifetime replacement.
this thing gets bad reviews. and also my buddy had one on his tp2 and the thing kept coming off, sounds like a good skin but i think ill pass

As long as you order through their website and you send back the damaged cover, they are pretty good about the warranty, however you still have to pay shipping. I hosed mine up installing it because it was for the Topaz and not the Pure which has a little different shape, and they replaced it.
When I installed mine, I powered it down and removed the battery, as you are to have the shield wet on both sides. I only had one piece that I had to remove and reinstall the following day, and that was no problem. I will admid that it was a PITA to install, I'm a tad older than most people playing with this phone and my eyesight ain't what it used to be, so the little pieces were a bit difficult for me, but I got 'er done!
Hi,
I'm considering to buy one of these full body protectors for my Touch Diamond2. I'm really confused because there are many of them and there are many reviews which say very different things. The first thing I noticed is that "wavy" effect. I could live with is if it was only on the back cover but it seems that the effect is on the screen too. The second thing is that it actualy doesn't cover whole device, it left the corners uncovered and I really don't want to have a 1 mm uncovered space on the edges of the screen.
So now I have original HTC screen cover on and I'm very satisfied with it and it seems to me that it is the best screen cover. However, there is no cover for the back so I need to buy one.
I found these full body protectors and I really don't know which to choose:
1. InvisiebleSHIELD of course http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-diamond-2-gsm-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php have seen very different statements
2. GadgetShieldz http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/htc-touch-diamond-2-protective-skins-screen-protectors-covers-cases-shields.html some say better then IS some worse
3. Ghost Armor http://www.ghost-armor.com/htc/htc-touch-diamond-2/prod_279.html?review=read didn't see much reviews for Diamond 2 so if any of you have any experience with it please tell me
So can you please recomend me which one is the best option?
Thanks
i've been using invisible shield for about 2 months now. if you install it right, it's a great product. about a month ago i had some software problems on my at&t pure and it required me to send it back for warranty. that's when i learned that zagg's warranty doesn't just cover damage, it also covers if you have to send you're phone back for repair. they'll send you a new fully body cover as long as you remove the old one and send it back. don't know much about other phone protectors, but why would i need to if zagg is doing a great job? (and no i don't work for zagg, i just like their product)n
I installed the screen protector and will be sending it back. As far as protection, it appears to perform very well. Unfortunately my finger jumps across the screen and will not glide. The orange peel effect is horrible. Anyone thinking about getting this should use it for the full cover and not for the screen protector. I used to use cellet for my screen covers but my local Fry's didn't have one for my Pure so I tried zagg. I've ordered the 3 pack from Att, so we'll see, only $10 and free shipping. Will report back later.
Bozo does not even have instructions in English...wtf

I've had one on for a while now. It does take about an hour to put on. After a few months, it's starting to peel off. I suppose I can send it back in for replacement, but it's an effort.
While its great to have rubber sides for grip. On my screen it should be damn smooooth.
Now to find one I like.
i just tried the ZAGG Invisible Shield on my pure.
The install was simple.
I do not like the protector at all, it has a rubbery texture that makes the stylus stick, skip, and jump. it also has a very bumpy(orange peel) finish to it.
I am sending it back and getting a couple of three packs of the protectors from at&t, they are cheap and slick.

When I first opened it, feeling the screen protector, it feels thin compared to the Anti-Glare I had on my iPhone 4 from Power Support USA. This screen protector seems like a fingerprint magnet, more fingerprints on the screen protector than the phone. The feel to it is smooth, not like those "military grade" plastic feel like from InvisibleShield, ClearProtector, etc.
What it includes: 2 Screen Protector and Instructions, along with 3 piece of paper (Installation guide, Feedback, and 15% coupon)
Quality: 8.5/10
Packaging: 10/10
Easy to Install: 7/10 (10/10 for me, since I'm used to installing screen protectors)

2 Screen Protectors
On the phone
Hi:
I bought these also. It went on perfectly (on the second try, I ruined the first one ). Not even one bubble.
Looks, clear and nice.
IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean. Fingerprints everywhere.
And, even if you want to clean it, you have to rub and rub to get it clean.
I would NOT buy these again because of the smudges.
I do have one question for you, since you said you're an expert at installing screen protectors.
Is it possible to remove the screen protector without damaging it, so it can be reused. I have to exchange my phone.
Is there any way to clean a screen protector that got lint on it (on the adhesive side) when trying to apply it? I read somewhere scotch tape works, but it didn't work for me. Because if I could get the lint off, the first screen protector I tried to apply would be good.
Thanks!
I personally don't see that this screen protectors are reusable.. I tried it once with Power Support USA by using water to wash off all the lint, letting it dry a little bit, not completely all, and then apply it back up, works, but might have 1 or 2 bubbles.
If you peel it off and get dust on the back side of it, use magic tape to remove the dust. Works good as a prep before applying them to get any dust or lint off the screen.
^Yup
My installation process:
1. Wipe screen as clean as possible with a microfiber/glasses cloth
2. Get some magic/scotch tape and use the sticky side on the screen to remove any leftover dust/lint throughout the screen, especially on the sides/edges.
3. Remove the "2" side first, or at least that's what I always do.
4. Remove the "1" side and start applying on the screen protector on slowly, removing any air bubbles if there is any.
Always try to install it without any air bubbles.
what case is that?
SGP Neo Hybrid
It's for the international version, fits perfectly just that it covers the top noise canceling mic.
Hard to tell from the pics, but does it cover the entire screen? A few protectors I've seen have a cut out for the speaker at the top but cut out everything above that. I believe the Belkin is like that. Also, does the protector have a cut out for the front facing camera, or does it go over it entirely?
^^it covers the whole screen
Alright, looks like the U Ultra is going to have curved edges, so let’s make a mega thread here for screen protectors. Since the edges are curved, we’re either going to have to make do with the non-full screen, or the protectors with the black borders and dot matrix.
Please leave links in the comments to the protectors that you are buying, and then please leave reviews after you get a chance to apply it. I’ll edit this main post every now and then with good protectors that are proven to work.
Thanks in advance everyone!!
Hi there,
Good idea for a thread.
I received this from a friend in Taiwan.
http://imgur.com/a/dnvgj
It IS full coverage, and has adhesive on the black areas as well as the clear areas. When stuck on well, there is no rainbowing, or other visible artefacts. However, my personal application was not great, I got a speck of dust and a strand of lint so i have 2 air bubbles in those spots.
Fit is pretty good. Cut out for LED and ear piece, and clear windows for the back and multitaks keys. Camera is also covered. Extends to about 1mm from actual edge.
Unfortunately, I havent been able to find this online.
Just bought this.
Will return to you when received

I'm ordering this and will report back if the results are good. This glass screen protector claims to fully cover the device. Too many screen protectors for this device don't cover the screen or completely around the home button

Strange as they shipped me a different brand altogether than the one specified on Amazon listing. It covers everything but only has adhesive on the black areas?? Either way it's not bad for what it is
Here's the bottom piece and it has no bubbles. I'll update later as wear and tear naturally happens. If your looking for full protection and still be case friendly. This is currently the best we have
Hi HTC community. I've just got this phone for Christmas. So far so good.
I'm seeing your opinions about the screen protectors, and I get the impression that the overall quality is alright in several models. But it's been a while since you last posted here and wanted to know if you have changed your mind or you still consider those protectors a good buy.
Thanks in advance!
I also bought the phone recently and this protector is working well for me without affecting colors.

Does anybody know of screen protectors which are not just transparent but have some artwork or fake speaker grills to cover the ugly top and bottom bezels?
i found really good smartphone accessories reviews on this website - https://aaaccessory.com/

I have had this case for two weeks now.
Pros
- Great build. Feels like a quality case which is expected from Spigen.
- Does not add too much bulk. I also have a Spigen Liquid Air case and the difference is not too drastic.
- Good lip on the front for protection. You can lay the phone face down w/o worries.
- Kick stand is decent. A little flimsy, but it holds.
- Alert slider cutout is great. I don't have to dig into it to move it. Operates like normal.
Cons
- Adds bulk. If you are looking for a slim case, this isn't it.
- One color choice. Gunmetal is the only option right now. It looks nice, but I've always gotten the black on black series. I emailed Spigen about it and was told at the moment they don't plan on releasing more color options.
- Buttons are flush without deep groves on indicators. Just like the Supcase many times I don't know which volume button I am pressing until I press it.
- Back plastic will get a lot of micro scratches. Only way to combat that is to either lay it on soft surfaces or place it face down. I've had this series before and Black hides scratches pretty well. They show up on Gunmetal.
Thanks for the review. I've been using it for about a month now and for me it's a bit too bulky TBH. I will still use it every now and then when I need a proper protection but it's really not too comfortable to hold when typing for example. It kinda cuts into your small finger on the bottom of the phone because the TPU case has an aggressive edge where your small finger is holding.
Other than that a decent case which offers great protection. You can even place a.piece of metal between the plastic and TPU back to use it on a magnetic car mount for example. Doesn't have the best grip there because it's kinda heavy but usually gets the job done.
Did anyone test it with Official OP 6T tempered glass?

Oh yes I completely forgot to mention that. I do find that holding the phone and typing for 5 minutes causes my pinky finger to become sore.

I have. Didn't work for me. Ended up replacing the official OP6T TG with an IQ Shield.

Hey y'all,
Just got a Pixel 4a and thought I'd post some of my experience with some accessories since we are all getting new phones here.
Way back when I got my Oneplus One, RhinoShield came out with a screen protector that I really liked have got one for every phone since. They have videos of hammering the screen as hard as they can and in my experience, that video matches reality. Obviously don't go around hitting your phone with a hammer, but I have done that several times still Here is my review of the Rhinoshield for the Nexus 5X: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/accessories/review-rhinoshield-case-bumper-screen-t3340693 (they've improved/fixed all my concerns I had back then years ago)
The screen protector has excellent clarity, and the camera cut out is well done.

They added some extra space on the bottom so the swipe up gestures on the new versions of Android are natural.
It's a plastic screen protector, which means it won't crack like the glass ones always do. From having these protectors for over 7 years, they do eventually scratch but I prefer some little scratches to a glass screen protector cracking constantly. And from working at BestBuy Mobile, my experience is that the glass protectors don't provide much impact protection to the actual phone's glass.
The installation is pretty easy. They provide a kit with a microfiber cloth and dust stickers.
I got some of their cases this time around since the Pixel 4a is so small. I haven't had a case on my phones for years (only the Rhinoshield screen protector), but thought I'd give the case a try and I really glad I did because I would have bent my phone in half without it the other week on a hike (more details further down).
Here's all the stuff I got:
I got their carbon fiber case:
So I went hiking the other week and I had this case on my Pixel 4a. On the way down the mountain, I slipped on some rocky terrain while the phone was in my back pocket with the back of the phone facing away from me. I landed with the back pocket hitting the edge of a flat rock. It must have put some pretty big forces on the phone because it actually bent the phone a little!! It bent it as if you put the phone screen up on the edge of a desk with half of it leaning off the desk, then pushing down on the phone that is off the desk.
Luckily, the case protected the phone well enough where I could bend the phone back to normal easily. Other than some indention marks on the back of the case (only visible at the right angle) everything is all good! The carbon fiber is a great backing. Pixel 4a's do naturally bend pretty easy (judging from how easy it is to bend it with my hands). I'm glad the Pixel 4a does have a good amount of bending tolerance because I could see the screen separating from the body such a little before I bent it back. I'm also glad I had mine protected decently! I've been using it for a while now and it's all good!
