Screen Protector Recommendation - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I bought a RN5 Global recently and just got my screen protector glas from Amazon.de. Im pretty disappointed with it. Only the black frame sticks to the phone and not the whole display. It has small dots all over the glas which you can see on sunlight. Colors look washed out and the glas is smearing like crazy compared to the default screen. You have to clean it all the time, even with clean hands or you wont be able to see anything anymore in sunlight.
I was hoping someone here can give me a recommendation for a very good screen protector without any of these issues that fits properly. The shop should also be able to deliver to Germany.

i got it from a local store for like $18, full coverage and so far so good and its a bit tinted somewhat that makes viewing at sunlight more tolerable to read than without it. if u want i can get it for u and shipped it to germany,

Get the official one from xiaomi its cheap ($2)
Its plastic but saves the screen from day to day scratches and you wont be needing glass protector for shatters because if you drop your phone both get damaged anyway.
Xiaomi sells 2 or 3 screen protectors in one package ($2) and it sticks really well.

[Q] Another screen protector question

So I got me 2 units of SGS2 this week, gonna surprise the hell of my dad
However, I'm too worried about its screen. I've read the post, it goes about 75% AGAINST (or just dont feel like using) screen protectors and 25% FOR screen protectors...
Now heres the thing. I got some chinese brand (like them all) protector, similiar to MUVIT (at belcompany). I also ordered from ebay a different brand (claimed to be as smooth as the screen itself).
I have only installed the first I got from belcompany (not invisibleshield, but shield"something"). It definitely reduces screen smoothes. Dry finger cant slide properly on the screen (dry - as in, washed with soup and completed dried by towel).
next week I'll recieve the ebay ones I've bought - but I'd ask this anyways ... What do we do about it? Should I apply the protector and reduce the screen feel or apply it?
Can we definitely say that the protectors help us overcome scratches, or can we trust Gorilla glass to do its job?
Thanks
After watching a few youtube videos (guy puts his keys and coins in a bag with
The phone and shakes the hell out of it) I feel safe to have the phone without a
Screen protector. Just the plastic on the back to worry about imo.
I've had lots of screen protectors for other phones, some don't show any
Scratches and some look like stained glass after one day. I can't be bothered to
Be changing it every week. I did cut out a little square from an old one to cover the
Camera lense tho, theres no way to know if thats gorilla glass.
Wow ... I loved your answer
so I guess I'll stick with the current cover until ebay shows up, and then see if its any good (and how much it reduces the orginial screen smoothness). If I dont like it, I'll just go commando.
Should find some for the camera lens, I agree.
Thank you for your answer.
The screen get scratches, i already have 3 of them, i don't know if it's the screen or the coating but i ordered a brando ultraclear SP for protection, i wouldn't afford another scratch

Scratched OP3

Hi
While I was waiting for my tempered glass to come, I ended up with a scratched phone. The weird thing is that I was very protective with it, but who knows what went wrong. Anyhow, the scratch is pretty small and on the top left but it is deep enough in order to be seen from a bright wallpaper. Do you have any idea how to hide it as much as possible or any anything else? (Google is a mixed bag of opinions)
Thanks
PS. The tempered glass has yet to arrive. :crying:
PS2. It is pretty damn expensive to change the screen
I ordered a origibnal OP tempered glass protector with my OP3. The quality was pretty crappy as it splitted at the side after 3(!) weeeks. I googled a lot and it seeemed that nillkin.org sells the best screen protectors. I ordered 2 and after a month they arrived from the other end of the world. DON'T BUY that crappy protectors from nillkin.org as they don't fit the screen at all! I'm very upset and they regeret to give me my money back. Nillkin.org betrayed me for nearly 30 bucks!!!
I'm using the phone without screen protector for about a week now and the feeling is just awesome. I don't care about some scratches as for the first time I can see and use the full display size.
I used my HTC One S without protection for about 3 years and it only got 1 noticeable scratch. OP3 got a 2,5D display and infact all screen protectots will be crap. Its sad but its true.
Sand I find is the most common pocket content that's hard enough to scratch gorilla glass things. (most keys and coins won't)

Tempered glass screen protector

As we all know, nowdays glass screen protector is probably best way to go.
OP will sell their official protector as they did for OP5 (already on the site). In this case you would expect top quality accesories and we all know how it went with 5.
For me it was no go with protector for ~20 euro that cuts off ~1mm on each screen side.
Here is my question, how it will go this time? how do you think? Maybe someone can provide some insight from their own sources?
As for now, from what i managed to find: it will cut less screen or even nothing (hope).
Later on, please also post your alternatives from 3rd party.
I actually think they might have an easier time with them, they can just produce a protector that covers the whole front of the phone now (No home button/FP Reader) which should reduce any stress fracture areas and make it easier to produce. Due to the change it might be some time before we see an official one.
Judging by the collection of crappy protectors produced for the OP5, hopefully the 5T won't have protectors that only adhere round the edges.
Honestly, I've been quite disappointed by the OP own's glass screen protectors.
After trying a few of the aftermarket ones (Ozry and co.), with varying mileage, I finally went nake.
Still curious to see how that's going to work on 5T.
W!
I dont need the curve screen. Give me the flat one Oneplus! Tempere glass on OP5 is a nightmare.

Same here. I still have to find a TGSP that doesn't have the rainbow effect and that covert the whole front of my OP5.
Have tried multiple ones from eBay and all of them have the stubborn rainbow in the center of the screen.
I officially hate those curved displays.
When I remember my first OPO, and than my OP2... ah, nostalgia.
I honestly love my oneplus branded tempered glass on my OP3 and OP5. The "it blocks pixels" thing is WAY overblown. Yes, you'll lose 1-2 rows of pixels, but it doesn't affect useability at all. They cover the whole screen, use adhesive on the entire protector, no halo effect, and if you use a oneplus branded case, the seam between the protector and case is so tight you can't even tell the phone is in a case.
10/10 would recommend to anyone without hesitation. I've tried a lot of the aftermarket stuff and it's all trash.
I have ordered the op5t glass however I'm sticking to the plastic protection that comes with device

Our friend here got it before me. Good to know tho, look 4:03. Mine is at home aleady, after weekend I will write mine opinion.
Anyone have experience with these people and what they offer :
https://www.moutfitters.com/
This morning, I applied my OnePlus branded tempered glass screen protector. I really like it, although there is one spot next to the volume rocker that will not stick down, causing a small halo effect in that spot. I can only see it when the screen is off, so I'm not going to worry about it. This screen protector feels very nice, especially compared to the plastic one that comes on the phone. I recommend that anyone looking for a quality screen protector, buy the one from OnePlus.
I bought the op glass screen protector and the sandstone case when I ordered the 5t. I will keep the factory applied screen protector as long as possible, but its nice to have a back-up. I do think it is cool that the supplied case acts as a guide for installing the op glass preotector.
I too bought the sandstone case/tempered glass protector combo and must say the fit and finish is superb. The screen protector went on perfect thanks to the supplied case acting as a guide and it is 100% bubble free. With the screen protector in place the sandstone case mates perfectly and you can tell they were designed to be used in conjunction with each other. The case looks good and gives the phone a nice grip but I highly doubt it offers any thing besides scratch protection. I will be switching to a more protective case as soon as a good one is available.
From my Google Pixel and Oneplus 3 experience, the official case and screen protector was the best. It's a little bit high on price but it will protect your device longer lasting and like the charm. So, this time for my upcoming OnePlus 5T, I'm going to buy 3D tempered glass screen protector.

Official Glass Screen Protecter - Manchester UK - Help?

Dear fellow 5T owners. I have had a bit of a saga with getting a glass screen protector fitted. I've been to three o2 stores in the UK that sell the phone and the official oneplus screen protector and at three stores they have stuffed up the screen protectors either with dust/bubbles/hair and i've spent hours trying to find a store that can actually fit one right. Anyone have any advice on anyone in the area who can _actually_ do it without ruining it?

Just curious, how much are these places charging/are you spending each time?
This isn't a reply that will answer your question as such, but I've had a bit of a saga with screen protection generally. I've finally (possibly) settled with am Invisible Shield high quality plastic film screen protector, as I just wasn't happy with glass ones. For me, yes they sound good in theory and look nice, but the highly reflective surface and loss of the beauty of the AMOLED screen put me off them. Not to mention the rainbow effect I had.
So my reason to respond really was just to throw it out there, have you considered a non glass protector? As I applied mine myself (a wet installation) in my bathroom full of steam from the hot shower and it's applied perfectly. It is even compatible with my case, though this was a cheaper case comparable to the Spigen Rugged Armour case, but unfortunately with that one it started to lift up at the edges a bit.
I am SO tempted just to go 'naked' though though I do like having this extra protection. My previous phone was the Galaxy S8 which only had 1 small light scratch from my cat walking on it, other than that I treat it well and I didn't feel the need for a screen protector.
Apologies again for not actually assisting with your question, though wanted to discuss the topic at the very least...

Doubts about the screen

Hi, I'm really frustrated about the Samsung s8 curved screen and before buying the s8 I was always a Sony guy. My question is if the screen is curved on the edges? How the screen protectors are working on it? I don't want to buy a curved screen cellphone again. To much random touch.
Thank you and sorry for my bad English.
I have yet to receive mine but from what I've read the screen is curved and is a pain to get to work with the screen protectors that are available on day 1. The first reviews have started to come and they all seem to be 1 star on Amazon: either you get a product that sticks well but is visibly and annoyingly smaller than the screen, or something that peels off on its own at the borders...
That's very disappointing as I can't imagine using a phone without a screen protector these days. If anyone found a good solution, please come forward!
I confirm the phone edges are just a little curved at the sides, so no like samsung edges, no random touch etc but that's enough for tempered glass screen protectors to don't stick perfectly at the sides (even if I bought a protection smaller than the phone front panel, which is covering only the real screen area) so it looks bad from an aesthetic point of view. damned edged screens hate them! nevertheless apart from this I am loving this phone so far, got it yesterday! :good:
just got one today, looking forward to using it once its charged!
