Which glass screen protector?

Hi,
I've had a Nillkin glass screen protector on for a few months, and the glass has slowly started to lose its sticky around the corners and keeps air bubbles all the time. It's also got a slight chip on one of the edges.
So I'm looking for a replacement, preferably one that doesn't have a cut out for the light sensor.
I don't particularly want to pay £30 for a spigen one, especially if it goes the same way after a couple of months. So I'm looking for around £15/$20. At the moment I'm looking at the Glass-M one, but would appreciate some other recommendations? Ideally one available in the uk that I don't have to import from the states or HK.
Thanks

Here's a good start, on top of the many threads specific to the different brands:

Iloome flex is what I use.

I can recommend the Glass-M 0.15mm glass. Great fit and feels great on being so thin. I purchased from a Hong Kong seller on eBay for £9.50 delivered and delivery was only 1 week or thereabouts.

thanks
Thanks for the links =)

I was looking for a Nillkin tempered glass because it's way cheaper than Spigen, but then, after reading some reviews about webs spider and other issues, I decided to buy the glass-m 0.15mm for a few more bucks.
I am very happy with my choice, it's perfect

Well, im looking for one glass too... I have been looking for the shield armor one (or something like that, I don't remember the name of it) I see many reviews and looks like works very good on the iPhone... I don't know if buy it or no (25$), what you say?

Thanks for the replies - can I just confirm the GlassM one doesn't have the cut-out for the light sensor?
Also, would the thinness of this not go against any additional protection from dropping that the glass ones tend to offer?

The Glass-M only has a cut out for the earpiece.
With regard to drop protection. I don't think there will be much in it. A serious drop on any glass protector will break it I believe. Its mainly for scuff and scratch protection. I went for the thin 0.15mm option because I wanted the phone to be as close to naked as possible.

I'm more thinking about the screen underneath the protector. Although not guaranteed, the "extra protection" offered by a glass protector is one of the draws for me.

I'm not sure a glass protector will protect much against a drop onto a concrete or hard surface from height. I think it all depends on how it lands, the glass protector will protect against scratches and scuffs should it survive the impact from the fall.

I'll tell you which one NOT to buy.

The cutouts are on the wrong side of the screen protector. It would have fit perfectly if it werent for this issue. The adhesive side has both cutouts on the wrong side of the protector, its like it was made backwards. Seemed good quality for 8 bucks but its unusable.

As this thread is dedicated to glass screen protectors, does anyone use a glass screen pro with a tpu case?
I'm tempted by the iloome flex but unsure if my case will case the protector to raise at the edges

I'm using the Anker glass screen protector - it feels better than the stock screen and when the coating rubs off or it gets broken/scratched you can replace it with another one for around £12. I've already had the stock Nexus 5 screen coating rub off.
No drop in image quality at all. I really wasn't sure about it but there is no downside to it.
It works perfectly well with my Nexus 5 Cruzerlite TPU Case (A2) and the combination means the phone is pretty much bullet proof whilst still being slim and lightweight.

I've been using the MIME Feather with the Diztronic TPU case for a couple of months now. I've had zero issues with this combination.

[Q] CHEAP but RELIABLE tempered glass and case

Hello,
my newly purchased OnePlus One is on it's way and since our beloved bacon has that protruding display that it is kind of out of the body of the phone I'd like to buy a tempered glass and a good+cool case that will hold my OPO and protect it against screen shattering, scratches and other damages.
Please, if you can suggest me something cheap and good, add links.
Thank you very much.
God bless you.

Get things from eBay and be very careful not to drop the phone

Super cheap, easy to put on (Non Wet) . fits one plus one screen perfectly.

Nillkin frosted in black with a orzly tempered glass, It provides a good amount of security. After almost 1 year, no scratches on the glass and I've dropped my phone a while biking a few times and it looks brand new. Plus the phone looks hella sexy in the nillkin, it feels great too

Hi!
You can either buy a cheap glass or a good quality ones pleae note you will get cheap one for around 3 dollars they look the same as expensive one but the real difference will be visible when you use it the really cheap one will have bubles and most of the cheap one are either not tempered at all or not properly tempered so they will break. They wont have anti fingerprint coating and also wont be scratch resistant.
Remember at the end of the days its a glass and almost all glass will look the same but even there are different qualities the best once are from Japan.
We as novoice wont know the difference that includes me hence we suggest branded stuff which are expensive but tried and tested and trusted

GUYS PLS CHECK OUT A BRAND CALLED CASEBASE FOR ONEPLUS GLASS SCREENS
they do two for the price of one and the fitting is spot on. Feel free to trash me here online if you find it to be a bad fit
good videos on youtube as well

Okay so I'm reporting back with the case and tempered glass that I ordered (mentioned above).
Both the case and the glass fit perfectly and are looking very nice together. (That orange case, man, is beautiful!)
So actually I'm satisfied!
Thank you everybody for your suggestions. Hope these suggestions will once come handy to new users.
God bless you all.

I generally don't use screen glasses and back covers but wanted to buy a back case for this phone since it has a slippery back. I am not finding any good ones since the phone is new. Waiting for sometime is the best option as of now. I would be glad if spigen comes out with back case for this mobile. In my limited experience with back cases, Spigen is the best.

The recently launched LG Q6 is every consumer’s dream because of its affordable prices, design, and features. To save any smartphone from accidental damage, it is necessary to safeguard it with the protective cases. For LG Q6, I would suggest that you should go for the Tauri wallet case.

Get the spigen slim armor. Its awesome for this phone.

Question Protecting Oneplus 9 pro

Hi guys and sorry for my short English, nobody is perfect, I am French...
I look forward to buy the 9 pro but I would like to protect it from the beginning with a flip cover and also a screen protection. So when and if you know good protection tools for the one+ 9 pro thanks to share your advices here.

Welcome to XDA! Once sales start, then cases and screen protectors will be posted in an Accessories section.

Screen protection is on from the factory.

yes I hear about that but I think that it is only a plastic film unuseful in case the phone falls on the screen and I thought that a tempered glass or a polymer protection would be quite better; no !?

cases are being sold for some time, got 9 and 9Pro transparent case on the way in case I will buy the phone Factory foil is enough for me, on each phone. Still in good shape on 8Pro. I think they're thinnest, most comfy and don't break edge gestures or fingerprint like those expensive foils and glasses. Worthless investment if you ask me, by the time it scratches you can have a new model already..

thx for your answer. The protection given with the phone is it just a film or is solid, I mean in case of falling does it protect from the ground impact and avoid the screen to break or does it only protect from scratches?

Scratches. If you're that worried, you need a huge rigid case or flip case, as glass cover will cover you only to some extent (a bit extra protection, the few extra cases where you'll be breaking the glass cover only). People who claim were saved by glass cover only usually cannot prove the glass would break without it.. and that is why the cover business works well. I prefer comfort, and light weight (i count every gram), and out of my dozens phones in decades, i fatally dropped NONE so i RISK it happily, if my next 1400$ flagship will break one day after buying, i can't care less, because i saved so much money not buying expensive screen protection in the past. But that's my philosophy.. It's not my recommendation. My enemy is scratches from keys and pockets. I just need a foil. Thanks Oneplus and Samsung for providing it for free

Buy a case Buy insurance!
Glass backs break easily, thanks to an insurance company my Oneplus 9 pro will only cost about $100.
My OP 8Pro was totaled because of a cracked back panel.

As the one above me said, spend some bucks and buy insurance. Pair that with a sandstone case and the pre-applied protector, and you will be good for at least a year.
It would be shame to cover that gorgeous screen with some clunky tempered glass protector.

I just bought a Caseology Parallex off Amazon. It is a nice case. I had it on other phones.

Close enough! I am Mexican

I looked at the Caseology Parallex on Amazon and might buy that. But I think I'll wait another week or two and see what else is available. It comes with a clear TPU case, so I'll just use that if I don't have a permanent one yet.
I don't really care for screen protectors because they ruin the impressive touchscreen experience for me. I read there's a factory applied screen protector, so I'll see how that works. I will probably get a protective film (or glass?) for the camera because my current one got a little scuffed up in the 2 years I've had it. Does anyone else use a protector for the camera?

I also wonder. I plan to create a plastic square that will protect outside the case hole, because I am afraid that a glass or tpu protection might decrease photo quality

The ones I was looking at on Amazon have cutouts for the camera, just like the cutouts for camera or speaker on a regular screen protector. So there's no glass over the camera itself, but the raised area around the camera is protected.

I've been using Gadgetshieldz screen protector for my One Plus 9 Pro for more than 5 months now, it does provide good protection against scratches but also protects the display from edge-to-edge.

Question Outer/Cover Display Screen Protector

Can anyone recommend a tempered glass or other quality screen protector for the outer cover display? Something that you've personally used and can vouch for.
Thanks in advance!

Whitestone has a ez screen protector and also a liquid adhered protector. I have installed ez one without trouble since a few days before official release and it's still holding strong. You also get 2 for like $10 so you can't really beat it

Looks like it might have trouble fitting properly if used with a case. The black border looks problematic. Have you used it with a case and, if so, do you have any pics or comments on that? Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out the best front screen protector as well. I would prefer tempered glass but have only seen a couple and not in stock at the moment. Still have the stock one on it but it's starting to bubble and peel/Crack on the sides.

I'm using these white stone dome front tempered glass screen protector. I got two of them for $10. They work decent with a case. But make sure it is a minimalistic case like the Samsung carbon fiber.

I am currently using samsungs silicone case and there is no problems with it coming off. Have not tried with a heavy duty case but I honestly don't see it as a problem

I got my leather case (samsung one) today and love it. However as soon as i applied it the cover screen plastic protector came off in the edge so i just removed it.
since it seems pretty thick on the inside - is there any 9h glass available yet which fits with the case? Or can i go to a samsung store and they reapply the plastic one on the cover screen?
i dont mind paying

I'm using the Whitestone glass screen protector. NOT the EZ. I've used it on all my phones since it was first released, including I Note devices and the Z Fold 2.

I use this for Extra protection

Whitestone Dome Glass UV.

I'm waiting on these to get delivered to me today actually. The stock one on my front screen is starting bubble and peel up on the side. My case kinda covers it up but the stock one is also picking up quite a few scratches. Hopefully these will do the job. Isn't that easy to fine a good tempered glass screen protector for this device. Spigen looks to be coming out with one but not available yet.

I'm using the Ringke Slim and I really like it. I ordered the Spigen S Pen case, but it won't ship for another week or so. Looks bigger than I'd like, but definitely need something I can switch to when I really need to carry the S Pen and don't want to have it loose in a pocket.
I also ordered the official Samsung Aramid case (which also won't arrive for another week or two). Based on the reports I've read and the pics I've seen, the Aramid appears to be the slimmest case available for the ZF3. I hate bulky cases, especially on a device that's as large as the ZF3, so I'm guessing I'll probably settle on the Aramid for 90% of my daily use.

Great case. No scratches. Not sure how anyone scratched their Fold with this case. You'd have to be pretty damn careless to do that. I used the adhesive strips.
