What's up with the ridiculous pre-applied screen protector?

I thought that I could get used to it, but my fingers get caught up on it ever time I swipe, and the two lines on the screen it creates are obnoxious.
Was OnePlus being cheap here, did they make a mistake, or is a proper screen protector just not feasible because of the increasing curve on the edges of the screen?
I don't want to get ripped or end up in a worse situation by buying their tempered glass or third party protectors of they are thicker and have the same dimensions...

They intended the screen protector to be there just so people have one on their phone. They weren't trying to prevent you from enjoying it obviously. It is for protection. From what I heard, people love the screen protector. Granted it may not be perfect but they did try. I have a protector for my One and the protector is a bit small for the screen but that's because of the way the phone was built. I'm assuming its the same way for the 3. Filling out the screen to the edges with a screen protector just warrants more cracks when you look at it from an angle. Just because it is a little lacking doesn't mean it won't protect your phone.

Screen protectors on a phone with 2.5D glass is pretty difficult to do well. Even the plastic/film protectors will lift at the edges..

Not sure what you mean by how the OnePlus One was built, I have a screen protector on mine and it covers the screen and bezels comfortably, it's never been an issue.
On my OnePlus 3 there are two black lines within the screen because the protector is so narrow and now those lines are also accumulating debris. No need to be so blindly loyal to a smartphone company. I love the phone, but I just wanted to know if all screen protectors on the market for the OnePlus 3 will be this narrow or if OnePlus just ****ed this up.

Can you just peel off the screen protector? I did that with my Op2.

The OP3 has a 2.5D screen (Like the Nexus 6 does) and having a protector go from edge to edge without having massive airbubbles around the edges is extremely hard. Lookup the "halo" on Nexus 6 and you'll see why they didn't

That's not a screen protector. It's just packing. You are supposed to peel it off and toss it immediately you open the box.

The screen protector is thin and unobtrusive. I hardly notice it's there, except when I go to write the screen with my shirt and feel grateful I don't have to worry about scratching it. I don't find the barely noticeable lines near the screen edges annoying; certainly, scratches on my new phone's screen would bother me much more.

I agree the screen protector is not anything you want to keep, but admit it is nice that it is there at least. When I got my Oneplus One within the first week I put the tiniest of a little scratch on my screen from my keys in my pocket. No one else sees it but I know it is there. All that because I was waiting on my tempered glass screen protector. So, until I figure out which brand of tgsp I want to put on this thing I am glad it is there...but yeah my fingers are not smooth on this thing.

Agree with you on ateast the effort from OP. However I am not very convinced about its usage. Shouldn't gorilla glass 4 protect itself from minor crap like scratches?
On tempered glasses, reading a lot about Nillkin H+ Pro. You can check it out.

Yeah I have been reading about those too and contacted them. They actually have the "Frosted " case for the 3 too just not on the site. Suppose to order the 2 and leave in the notes you want the 3. Lot of people here at xda seem to like that case too. I personally have not used them yet. I have a PTHINK tgsp on my One and LOVE IT! It feels better than the factory glass. Already contacted them and they have not started making them for the 3 yet.

I had the same issue on my moto x gen2. Was worse when I used tempered glass. The curve on the edges of the screen make this difficult. With this being gorilla 4 glass I'll remove my protector on op3 once I get my dbrands skins on.

Couldn't agree more! Now I'm just a redneck who wears bibs all the time so I need something to protect the screen from the buttons on my bibs. I tried at least 2 times to appy tempered glass to my 1+ (who the hell came up with those stupid tabs?) only to FAIL. I found a simple solution- buy a flip cover. Now it takes a little getting used to, but it works very well. The only issue I had was on the rare occasion that I needed to put it my pocket, I made sure that I didn't have anything eles in there with it. But after 2+ years of going commando with my 1+, I can say that screen protectors are a waste of money!

Just found this on Amazon. Tempered glass Supposed to work well with the round edges.

Samsung screen protector

Picked up the Samsung Screen Protector yesterday - knew it was a plastic one not tempered glass, but after experiencing issues with the tempered glass protectors on my wife's S7 Edge I thought I'd just go with the one Samsung sold.
Unfortunately I'm not happy with it at all - looked fine on the phone by itself, but kept lifting up on the edges as soon as I put a case on it (Spigen Slim Armor)
So given the choice of screen protector or case - I think I'll go with case.
Even when I pushed the edges down while the case was on it still kept lifting - this is what it looked like after an hour in my pocket:

So if you're considering the Samsung branded screen protector - beware.

Shoot, I literally just ordered one. About to cancel. Thanks for the heads-up.

I got one of these as well. Took it off after a day because it looked awful. Currently running naked which makes me nervous

Nothing was available when I preordered the phone. So I ordered the Liquid Nano stuff from Amazon. It's supposed to fill in any of the imperfections in the glass and help prevent cracks and scratches. So far so good, but it hasn't been a week yet. I'm a little skeptical but I haven't seen any screen protectors that look worth a damn. I don't believe we'll ever see a good curved glass protector, one with adhesive on all sections of the glass. I will say the liquid nano seems to repel skin oils really well and it says it'll last 2 years. I'll give it a month before I say it's good or not.

Where did you buy it?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Bought this too. It's fully compatible with the Ringke Slim case since it doesn't lift around the edges. The only issue I've had with this screen protector is that the edges seem to collect dust - after 2 days, it looks like there's a thin white border all around. At least it doesn't lift with my case.

The Suprecool Screen Protector for S8 Plus in itself is great, I cannot even feel it, and it feels like it will be at least some form of protection, I have yet to drop it, and don't really feel like testing my Phone.

Can clearly see that it's your case peeling the protector, get a new case that doesn't lift the protector off, apply it correctly and you will have no issues.
Im using the same protector but with the clear case from Samsung wich doesn't peel the protector like yours is doing, no issues, ill take one pic tomorrow.

I ended up getting a pack of these after I posted on April 24th and I was able to successfully install the first one flawlessly and it's still on looking great. No peeling or anything. Wasn't hard to install either. Had a few small bubbles that disappeared within an hour.

I think it's not available in India
Edit:- Here it is.. but I have doubt that it's not genuine because all 38 reviews from out side of India

I use the official Samsung Screen Protector and also use the Alcantara case and have had no problems. In fact, all the cases I've used have had no problems with this screen protector. There is a very slight edge lift on all the edges, but it shouldn't interfere with the screen and it shouldn't continue past the bezels. Mine was installed in the Samsung Store by an employee.

This lip on all the edges was actually my problem, in fact it was a little bit more pronounced on the right edge; but you could feel it clearly when swiping and it obviously collects dust in time, looking more and more terrible....

Thanks!

Got this and no issues with it yet. The screen feels more natural (like the actual phone) as opposed to the spigen one i used - which ironically the reason why i changed was because it was lifting after a coupe of hours.

the case is the issue - not the screen protector.
Re the nano liquid - waste of money. Mine slide down my ironing board when I folded it, and gently hit the floor and folded face down onto wood flooring - result was a chip in the middle of the glass. These merely help to keep the screen a little cleaner. Thats all.

Best case and curved glass screen protector combo

Looking for a good curved tempered glass protector (tried 2 different ones and they've both gotten dust under them in less than 48hrs and the corners have the annoying sticking/clicking issue) and a case that won't push on the glass as I suspect that's my biggest issue, my current case pushes against the glass protectors i've tried and doesn't allow them to fully adhere.
Currently have the spigen rugged armor on my phone, it was just the first one i've tried (and we all know it takes trying several before we find just the right one) so let me know what case/glass combo you've got that's working perfectly for you!

My Pixel 2 XL hasn't arrived yet but from my experience with my S7 edge I never found a good curved screen protector. Unfortunately the curves mean that adhesion to the screen is terrible, touch response problems and/or dust under the screen is unavoidable.

I have Amfilm updated version and Spigen Neo Hybrid. They are perfectly matched, with no lint traps along any of the edges. Only part of the phone with no protector coverage is the small gap between the speakers and the case lip.

I got a weird no brand NXET 3D curve and it's not that bad, waiting for a VRS Design black case and an IntelliArmor that should be a worthy combo

I had to abandon my first screen protector because my Spigen Rugged Armor was pushing on the sides, causing it to click and lift up. I'm waiting on my IntelliGlass 3D protector to ship. Hopefully that ones a tiny bit narrower as I like my base, but would like to get a protector on as well.

Whitestones are good on the Samsung. Though the price is high and the install is a little tougher. Hopefully we get a Whitestone for the 2 xl.

amFilm Tempered Glass paired with the Suensan TPU case is absolutely perfect, in my opinion. The coverage is as close to 100% as you are going to get. The amFilm protector (version 2) has excellent adhesive and doesn't get smudged up with fingerprints. The Suensan TPU case is a very firm fit with excellent responsive buttons. And I was pleased to see that using squeeze for assistant doesn't push the case into the protector.
I HIGHLY recommend this combo.

Eh, in time that's bound to happen with any curved protector that only adheres around the edges. Dust always makes its way in at some point. This has been the case on my last 2 phones (OnePlus 3 and Pixel XL), no matter what brand I used, including Spigen, Orzly, amFilm etc.
With that said, the Version 1 amFilm for the 2 XL had terrible adhesive and the protector barely stayed on the phone. Within 2 days I had dust underneath. The only reason why I bothered with another one was because it developed a crack on the top corner, out of nowhere, and they sent me a replacement for free. The Version 2 is a whole different story and is much improved. It has the stickiest adhesive I've used on any curved TG protector in the past 2 years and has the most difficult to see dot matrix I've seen on any prior protector.
Overall, it is a great option and I'd buy it again if I had to. I'm almost 2 weeks in with no dust underneath and while I know it's inevitable that some will make its way in, I don't anticipate it happening any time soon.

Spigen Rugged Armor paired with Moshi IonGlass

I'm running with the Diztronic and a temporary Zagg. All of these first-run TGSPs are horrible and rainbow like crazy but I don't think I can do any better at the moment.
This dot matrix craze has poisoned the entire market.

I don't know what you mean. I just checked and it's available on their website.
I got it from local TELUS (canadian mobile provider) store. TGSP has adhesive just around borders but it's great and most important... no dot matrix.

I'd love to know more about the Moshi molded TGSP for the P2XL. I've got a Zagg / Invisible Shield on mine now -- installed courtesy of Verizon (while I choked on the price), along with a Speck Presidio case. The phone is protected, but the Invisible Shield is NOT the right fit for the nice curved screen - it's flat, can't extend to the curved edges, catches dust, etc. However it DOES protect the screen for the moment.
Anyway - the Moshi protectors are here:
https://www.moshi.com/moshicom-ionglass-screen-protector-pixel-2-xl
I'd just love to see some reviews before dropping another $35 on yet another accessory. Does the curved shape match the edges of the P2XL properly? How do the cutouts fit? What's it like having only the edges stuck down (is that how it works?) and do you see gaps in the middle?
It shouldn't be so hard / painful to get a properly fitting TGSP for a new flagship phone like this!

Best Screen Protectors

Alright so I have always used bodyguardz screen protectors for all my devices so I figured I'd get one for my pixel 3 xl too. Well it's garbage so I need suggestions and figured others would find this info useful. All that said, let's get some suggestions and reviews going and see who's got the best product out there.

Here is the fit of Bodyguardz protector. Garbage as you can see.

I get the feeling that Whitestone Dome will be our only practical option like with the 2 XL. Whatever I got from Amazon is hot garbage as well.

Honestly, I think I would be okay with that. It's much better than the ones with the adhesive only on the sides. Thank you for the pics.

I agree. Given the current terrible alternatives, I think the bodyguardz protector is the best bet to hold us over until Whitestone releases a protector for the 3 XL.
Does anyone have a link for the bodyguardz protector? I can't find it on Amazon.

Yeah, with how well the Whitestone protectors did on the 2 XL, I find it very hard to believe they aren't going to do something for the 3 XL, as well. I'm planning on going with a sub-par protector just to hold me over for a month or so, until Whitestone or something similar is released for a more long term solution.

Yeah, with how well the Whitestone protectors did on the 2 XL, I find it very hard to believe they aren't going to do something for the 3 XL, as well.

Is the zagg full adhesive? I thought I read somewhere it was. Between that and the $45 process tag and skipped right past considering it.

It's full adhesive and way over priced but I got it with a deep discount. I manage our work Verizon account and picked it up while ordering some other hardware for staff. It does overlap some where the screen curves so there are places it does not stick but covers the viewable screen area. Zagg also includes an alignment tool so that is nice but in short I wouldn’t recommend it at this price point. I’ll try to get some pictures alter today.

Yeah the price is ridiculous. But thanks for the info. I’d be curious to see the pics and see exactly how it fits. I just can’t believe how much these manufacturers are missing the mark... I’ve never bought a screen protector before from either that doesn’t actually fit the intended device

I love the ArmorSuit screen protectors. I've been using them since the 6P, after the previous brand I used disappeared, and haven't looked back since. They're thin, fit well with no size/cut issues, have no orange peel effect, rainbowing, etc.
Caught it this morning, but if you order through Amazon, their case friendly fit is dirt cheap, too. $3. Wish this was active last night when I placed an order through their website. Hopefully I get mine shipped soon because the TGSP I got as a temp doesn't fit with a case, and isn't cut properly to account for the slightly curved edges.

I think it will be whitestone also. Mine on the 2 XL was great. I tried the Verizon one for short term protection. They tried to put it on twice but both resulted in raised edges so they are going to refund it. Whitestone tweed this AM they will have it in Nov. https://twitter.com/whitestonedome/status/1053272064881254400

I bought these until Whitestone comes out. I was actually quite surprised how good they were. I mean it's not perfect but full adhesive. Sticks good on the edges. Coating isn't bad.
I'm a screen protector snob and I'm almost okay with it. $7.00 for 3 of them makes a great temporary until Whitestone comes out.

This is great news!
My phone arrives today. I have an IQ Shield tempered glass protector here waiting. However, the reviews of it have started rolling in and they are HORRIBLE (Amazon link). It's so bad that Amazon stopped selling it.
So last night I went up to a Verizon store and picked up one of their pricey tempered glass protectors. It's only going to cover the usable area of the display and probably won't stick in some places, but it will hold me over until Whitestone releases their solution.

I've always used the Spigen GLASS.t protectors but they're not out yet for the Pixel 3. In the mean time, I'm using this ESR Tempered Glass protector...
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H8ZNZJ8
Despite the negative reviews, it's working perfectly for me. I'm using the Google Fabric case with it and my only issue there is that the case lip isn't tall enough so when you put the phone down face down, it's the protector that's resting on the surface. We'll see how long the protector holds up.

I got the SuperShieldz screen protector (2-pack). It's utter garbage. Doesn't fit properly and interferes with touch.
I also tried the Tektide protector. It's slightly better touch-wise, but somehow it covers the ambient light sensor so the screen is always dim. Also, the adhesive is pretty ppor.
Both were cheap, but definitely no long-term solution.

[REVIEW] UltimateShield Tempered Glass Screen Protector OP7 Pro

This will be a short review which hopefully helps OP7 Pro owners wether they should buy the tempered glass protector from Ultimate Shield or not. Please take your time and read the whole review
PRODUCT PAGE
https://www.ultimateshield.co.uk/products/oneplus-7-pro-tempered-glass-screen-protector
This might be the time to add that Ultimate Shield did not tell me to write this, I bought the screen protector because I have used their OP5 tempered glass in the past and was satisfied with that one. In case the pictures don't show on your screen, I've attached them in a zip file down below.
What do you get?
For £11.99 (~14€ / ~15$) and free worldwide you get one screen protector, instructions, dust removal stickers (which I forgot when taking the picture), a microfiber cloth and a wet cloth.
I bought it because I wanted a tempered glass screen protector which is curved so I can protect the whole display including the curved edges.

}
What about applying it?
The instructions are basically useless, since we're dealing with a screen protector which sticks to the phone with the adhesive side, so no bubbles, no "vacuum" or anything like that, as long as the display has been cleaned before nothing can go wrong, just make sure that the side slim black bar is alined with the top of the phone. Oh and you should remove the preapplied screen protector before putting this one on the display. After that it is important to apply preassure on the border of the screen protector to make it stick, and this is where things get critical, at least that is what happened to me. Even though it looks like I've prefectly placed the glass on top of the display some parts of the protector simply won't stick, or at least stick for a few minutes. I have added some photos where you can see a tiny gap. Keep in mind that I have applied A LOT of pressure on those parts, more than enough. The screen protector has rounded corners and a curved edge, it covers about 99 percent of the display.
What about colours and sharpness of the display with the screen protector?
After applying the screen protector I haven't noticed any kind of weird colour shifting or rainbow effect. It still looks as sharp as before, but due to reflections the edge of the display has some minor rainbow effect. I only notice that at a specific angle and when the background is white. Oh and it doesn't seem to cut off any part of the screen.
What about the fingerprint reader?
After deleting the old fingerprints and adding new ones with the screen protector applied the fingerprint scanner works 99/100 times, it might take a split second longer than without it, but I didn't have any issues.
What about the touchscreen and gestures?
This is where I got frustrated. After using the phone with the tempered glass I instantly noticed that the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as it was before. "alright", I said to myself, "It is completely normal that it feels different now". Unfortunately this is why I would personally not buy this screen protector again. I had to apply more pressure than ususal when tapping on an icon and so on. Sometimes the touchscreen didn't register even though my finger clearly touched the glass. This was very annoying when using the keyboard, in almost every sentence at least one or two characters where simply missing because the touchscreen wasn't as responsive as before. Same story with gestures, you need a lot more pressure and when swping up or down in order to open the app drawer or notifications it sometimes works but sometimes it takes up to three tries in order to get the gesture to work. In comparison, without the tempered glass screen protector I had no issues at all.
SUMMERY
Applying it was easy but when I did it it didin't stick as good as I hoped it would. The tempered glass screen protector doesn't really change colours, which is a good thing. THe touchscreen experience was comparable with one of those older smartphones where you had to use more force and it wasn't as accurate. Overall, I can not recommend it for the price, unless you use the touchscreen with a lot of force. If you think that I didn't apply it correctly feel free to "call me out" in the comment section and tell me how you would have done it.
UPDATE
Since the tempered glass didn't stick very well anyway I went ahead and carefully removed it and moved it about 1mm downward. Unfortunately the touchscreen is still not responsive enough to use the keyboard without any issues which is why I contacted Ultimate Shield directly via Email. (still waiting for them to reply)
FINAL UPDATE
They answered and after looking at the images I send them they said that it might be faulty because according to them the black adhesive should stick much better than it did in my case. They were kind enough to give me a refund! If you bought one and had a much better experience please tag me so I can quote your opinion!

Probably cus it's not full adhesive. We need to wait for Whitestone or something like that

Probably, I think my application was good, I guess the adhesive can't do the job when it comes to the curved edges...

Too bad OP didn't release one at launch. I assume they will down the road like they did with the 6T.

Well the 7 is just the 6T, so they just have to update the packaging

Not trying to be funny but was there an indication on the protector as to where the top/bottom was?

Well the flap of the protective foil that was on the the glass was probably the indicator.
That and the fact that the bottom part of teh black frame was way wider than the upper part...
About 2mm of black adhesive on the buttom and 1mm on the top...
EDIT:
It wouldn't make sense to aline the the thicker black line with the thin bezel
I've sent UltimateShield an email concerning this issue.

I've ordered same protector for delivery tomorrow, getting the phone today so I'll give it a go, how is it with cases or have you not checked? I've ordered the Ringke Fusion-X too so would hope they'll work together.
Watched this video of the PureGear protector, from XDA fave TK Bay, which looks mucho pricey but seems to play nicely with, at least, official cases.

the glass doen't fully the cover the display, there's about 1 to 1.5mm between the tempered glass and the frame of the phone, I can use the transparent TPU case that came with the phone without any problems

Thank you for your review. I currently have a film on my screen now. I was thinking about purchasing a tempered glass shield for my 7 pro especially since T-Mobile has the Puregear one on sale for 10 bucks off (if I'm not mistaking) but I'm not sure.

I actually ordered the same tempered glass,but I noticed that it wasnt clear and that the black outline on the edges was the adhesive. It doesn't truly embrace the curved screen, but you can use it for the back of your phone. I glued to the back of my 7 Pro with the clear case on. Your phone will look like a beast

interesting approach xD

I'm waiting for this to show up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP5KJXV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seems like a Whitestone clone. Hoping it's decent.

Got one too. Install was super easy but like said in OP, sensitivity gets way worse. I would not recommend.

Do you know if the product is in stock?

Looks like the OP product was replaced by a newer full adhesive version:

The screen of my 7Pro looks like new. I never used a screen protector. Just the sandstone hardcase for the back.
