Hey everyone, I wanted to provide some commentary briefly on the accessories I received for my One X yesterday from HandheldItems.com.
I ordered:
(1) black HTC One X TPU Case (Product Code EcHtcOneXTpuChkBlk) and
(3) HTC One X Matte Anti-glare Screen Protectors (Product Code HhiHtcOneXScnMat/HhiHtcOneXScnMatX3)
Comments:
First, the TPU case is good. It fits the ports wiht appropriate cutouts, it fits uniformly over the front of the device, and it looks nice. It is a glossy TPU case (I have seen some cases that are matte or are a mix of matte and glossy - this one is completely glossy). It provides several millimeters of depth to the front of the device to keep the screen from resting on whatever surface you might place the device down on. Also, the camera opening on the back of the device is such that it conforms to the camera lens surround and provide depth such that the lens doesn't touch whatever surface the phone is resting on. It does not however provide as much lens coverage as, for example, the Casemate Barely There cases. But it was also less than half the price of that case.
The screen protectors are unfortunately another story. The matte finish is nice and it reduces reflections considerably. Like any matte protector, it is evident that there is a screen protector on the device and the clarity of the screen is affected, but only minimally. If you're a purist though you may not like the look - I have always preferred matte screens. The fit is the problem with this product though. They are too long. To get the screen protector to adhere fully at the top of the screen, the bottom corners push off the screen onto the phone body and do not adhere. I tried two different screen protectors and had the same result (I ordered the three pack). Also, the screen protector only conforms to the curve on the top of the screen, not the bottom (I tried screen protectors in both orientations and it seems clear that the curve of the screen at the top of the phone is slightly more pronounced than the curve of the screen at the bottom of the phone). Also it would be nice if they were slightly wider because as is if you are slightly to the side then the full active portion of the screen will not be protected (there is only approximately 1mm of margin left/right).
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to share as I didn't have an opportunity to take any but I think my commentary will give you the necessary info. I'll try to take some pictures this evening unless someone beats me to it.
Here are some pictures of the phone with the case and screen protector. Handhelditems.com is working with me to eliminate the concerns I have with the screen protectors.

So with the screen faced up, the lens cover doesn't touch the table, right? If so that would be fairly adequate protection (As it has been for my Optimus 2X). Does the screen protector fully adhere to the screen? I've had problems with phones that have curved edges on the sides of the glass. It makes it impossible to use static-based screen protectors and I'm no fan of the ones with water application.
some close up pictures for the camera lens area would be appreciated...good and short review...by the way,what's the price?
Just a simple review of the 3D mask film, the product comes with all the neccessory stuff to make the application easy for the user.
The brand is from skinplayer and use material from a company called max film, item is made in japan and packaged in korea.
cost is a little more that the sgp and comes only with one protector.
bubble removal stick
dust removal
sticker to help position the screen and screen protector
cleaning cloth
first look at the protector looks just like a ordinary PET material sp, there is 3 things that stands out this product from the other offering like tridea, sgp and AT.
patented design for easy apply
99% total full edge to edge coverage
hybrid crossed between normal PET and wet apply like invisible shield (my personal opinion)
applying the protector is very easy, the most important is to have a total clean screen free from dust or what evers on the screen.
Removing the center part of the pre-screen protector and slide the protector in place, either just use the supplied protector tabs to hold in place or just touch the center and the screen protector starts to stick to the screen.
pressing down the center then slowly remove the two sides of the pre-screen protectors.
using the bubble remover to get all neccessory bubbles out and to push the edge of the protector to cling onto the egde.
the protector is dry apply and does have a self healing surface, you can see this when using the bubble remover.
The protector has a smooth finish, and is bubble free (well so far), without looking at the cutout from the speaker, camera hole and home button, you won't noticed you have a screen protector on, it's totally glossy clear.
I want to buy one.. but nothing shows up searching for skinplayer hd s3 in goolge =[

Seems easier to apply it, but still the same. Protector is a protector, nothing more than that.

Unless there is an authorised dealer, no you won't get it, but ebay soon or later should have them, i've seen ebay with skinplayers products before.
hey are you still using this screen protector? i just wanted to see how it was holding up so far. edges peeling, yellowing screen, or anything?
also how is this protector at preventing fingerprint or smudges?
thanks.
Have anyone of you guys experienced bubbles underneath the installed glass? The reasons sellers would say is that our phone is curved and that's why it doesn't stick properly. Well, the edges of our phones are almost similar with iphone 6s & 7 and even 8. I dont see any bubbles on their glass?
Temporary fix is by applying olive oil (saw it on YouTube)
Is there any shop online selling reliable glass?
I've bought something similar to this:
https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Full-Tempe...485504&hash=item4673658643:g:rw8AAOSwd3dZZJHl
No bubbles appeared. Hope you can find something that works for you.
You normally wouldn't not face air bubbles issue if your tempered glass is fully adhesive.
For curved screen, you need use your fingers / palm, apply some force from top to bottom swipe to push the air bubbles out while apply, having your nail at the another end (bottom) to ensure the tempered glass's edge is not closed before your another fingers / palm yet to swipe until bottom. (Generally on flat screen, you can apply force to middle, to force the bubbles out to edge, since it's curved, it not possible).
*Note: for side-adhesive only, it's almost impossible to get (0) air bubbles. Unless you use something like you mentioned in your post.
Hope this helps.
Using this one currently, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ger...mi-Mi-A1-6-5X-For-Redmi-Note/32848554909.html (After 6 glasses in 2 months this seems the best for now).
Placed with a LOT of care could be great. It has adhesive in borders and glass part sticks like normal tempered glass. You need to hold the borders and press from the middle, so bubbles go out from mid to borders.
Other full screen covers that are made from plastic are not recomended. I tried a lot, (the ones with annoying little dots pattern), sticks only in sides, mid is full of bubbles (not to talk if it catches a little humidity, OMG) and touch sensitivity is compromised.
There may be more brands with similar products (we all know how chinese manufacturers works) but its really hard to tell which is the good one from the seller pages, its a trial and error.
poke pinch them with a fine nedel to press out the air =P

There's a new screen protector. It's called Nano Glass Protector. Has no bubbles after installation. Bought it at my hometown's Mi Store. Looks something like this (pic)
Hey guys! Just thought I'd share my experience trying to hunt down the best screen protector for my Galaxy S10e.
After trying about 4 different glass protectors all with pinch hole camera cut outs and being dis satisfied with the look and feel of the edges I decided to try one that came with a solid glass that covered the front entirely. It also had a super thin black boarder that I wasn't entirely convinced I was going to like.
Turns out it is AMAZING!! Phone looks literally as if there is nothing on. Edges are completely smooth so no more scratchy feeling whenever I slide my finger to use the edge display or gesture navigations.
Totally felt I had to share this! You can search for it on Amazon! :highfive:

Sorry wasn't sure if I could share a link i just added it to the OP. Yes it is case friendly and I belive the black border covers a super small part of the screen that is a fraction of a millimeter. When using edge lighting all you need to do is increase the thickness a bit.
However it does not get in the way at all and from my experience it is way better than other screen protectors I have tried that have transparent as they reflect the light at angles. Also the borders look terrible during the day, you can clearly trace it with your eye. This one literally reflects no light and looks like if there is nothing on it at all (the black border provides this effect)
Furthermore, this one comes with a plastic frame that makes placement and alignment such a breeze!
Hope that helps!

Got the Nillkin glass protector -> https://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=6425
It's covering the whole display, with black borders around it(they eat 1-2mm from the actual display).
Very happy about it. Bought it at a locat shop with about 20 euros.

I Love this screen saver
amFilm for Samsung S10e by TechMatte
Very easy install with alignment tool, nice squeegee tool got all the bubbles out. Looks excellent after install was complete. Will update in a few days to see how it look after a few days of use but so far so good. Was probably the easiest Tempered glass screen saver I have ever installed, very satisfied
Bought this exact screen protector because I wanted something inexpensive and without a cam cutout (I'd rather deal with an additional layer of glass on a front camera I anyway never use than with dust piling up in a tiny cutout). Well, I don't share OP's enthusiasm. A corner started to shatter appart after only a week, and I didn't even drop it or anything. It was in the same pocket as my lighter which might be the culprit but c'mon, if it can't handle a lighter and turns into a H8 shards dispenser that soon, how is it supposed to prevent scratches on the screen ?
Another corner got damaged after a 50cm (metric FTW) drop on wooden floor and I decided to get rid of it altogether.
It's cheap, it's easy to apply, it looks good (although the black border overlaps the screen by maybe half a millimeter), and it might last a bit longer for someone less careless than I am, still not a viable long term option according to me.

Sucks you had a bad experience with it. So I ended up reaching out to them after myself finding my screen protector had cracked and they sent me another one for free.
It probably isn't the strongest screen protector but it's cheap, easy to install, and looks great! It's TRUE the protectors with the hole punch are a haven for dust and just look hideous in general.
If you stumble across a better screen protector I'd love to hear about it! Perhaps I'll try it out next if this one tanks on me again
Cheers!

I should receive one from LK in a couple days, let's see how it holds. I cannot ask for a replacement, I'm french and they offer replacement only in america, but this time there's 3 in the package.
Does the amFilm protector black edge cover visible part of the screen like Nilkin does? Nilkin protector black sides cover also OLED visible screen (half mill on each side).

Yes it does. I have one installed now and it cuts off a sliver on each side
There's been a lot of discussion about the screen protector on this phone. Removing it, not removing it, replacing it, etc. I bought my ZF2 second hand, and the previous owner had already removed the factory screen protector, so part of that decision had been made for me. He had replaced it with a matte screen protector, inside and out.
Honestly, I TRIED to get used to it. I WANTED to like it. It felt nice and there were no fingerprints. But if you watched a movie, it looked like an 80s VHS bootleg copy.
So I removed the screen protector and could instantly tell why people love this phone naked. The screen is genuinely beautiful. But I just can't take a chance at scratching it, so I replaced both screen protectors with the Gobukee screen protector.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KRXVXFT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_EiwZFb0ZWH70Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Installation is a dry installation, and is very similar to the Ringke Easy Dual screen protectors, but instead of the whole thing being sticky, there's only a strip that sticky to align it. I actually prefer the Ringke method, as it removes dust on the whole screen as you align it, but fortunately I didn't have any dust issues with these when installing.
Like all dry install TPU screen protectors, I had some bubbles after installation, but after 24 hours they were all gone, and I was left with a perfectly clear and smooth surface. Maybe not as smooth as glass, but it's very, very close. I'm not sure if I would be able to tell the difference between this and bare glass.
It's still a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but comparing it to the demo unit at Best Buy, which still has the factory screen protector, this one is MUCH better at repelling fingerprints. And it seems easier to clean as well. And it definitely feels much better.
As a bonus to an interior and exterior screen protector, it includes a skin for the back glass and the hinge. The hinge skin is just almost invisible once installed and doesn't affect the folding action at all. I haven't used the rear skin, as the previous owner installed a matte rear skin, which I actually prefer on the back glass.
If you're on the fence about removing your screen protector, because the factory one is terrible, but you still want protection, I can highly recommend the Gobukee screen protector.
This was NOT a paid/sponsored review. I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully help others.
When this screen protector wears out, I will likely try the Ozero, since it gets pretty decent reviews.
With you on this one...just installed the front and inside and they are way better than the factory installed ones and are not at all rubbery like the factory. I loved not having the screen protector on but these are as close to not having in on there as possible.

I agree. I really like it. I've been using these TPU protectors for a while on my other devices. I've used them on the S10+, Note 10+, Note 20 Ultra, and now this device. I usually use the Ringke Easy Dual protector, but it's not available on the fold yet. But I'm convinced they're all mostly the same, just different brand and packaging.
I bought this screen protector for my fold but unfortunately my experience of it was poor. Its a shame as the install went perfectly because unlike two other brands I tried, the Gobukee is actually designed specially with the Fold in mind. What I mean by that is the two halves you remove before the protector sticks to the screen (as in tab 2 and 3) run parallel to the fold crease. This means you can push the squeegee and therefore the protector into the crease.
Honestly, the install was great and I was thrilled to finally find a protector for this device that wasn't poor. Unfortunately my hype was short lived as after having the device folded for 5 minutes, the protector developed a clear band of purple and green tinting where the crease is. You'll have to excuse the poor picture quality as I only had my work iPhone 7 to hand.

Not at all. I literary can't tell the protector is there.
Plus, mine didn't split parallel the fold, it actually split perpendicular to it. Also mine has a hole punchout for the camera. Either you're using a different brand, or a different iteration of it.
On mine, you removed the back sheet, which exposed a slightly sticky strip on the screen protector that ran left to right and was located in the upper half of the protector, if I recall correctly.
Once it was aligned, you removed a second bottom layer, exposing the real screen protector adhesive. This was done in two halves as you said, but the splet ran side to side, not up and down like the screen fold.
Step one was

Thanks for your detailed response and I'm glad to hear you achieved a good install, as you say, it appears that this brand has different variations. Here's the link to the one I bought - you'll see from the pictures in the listing that there's an adhesive column that sticks into and parallel to the crease.
I did indeed remove the top layer, as you say, after removing said top layer it was hard to even see there was a protector installed.
I've even looked on Amazon UK for other listings for the Gobukee protector and came across one that at first, looked similar to the listing you linked to in regards to it having images of the packing which the listing I originally bought from didn't. However, that listing then also shows the protectors that look to install the same way as the original one I bought (adhesive strip running parallel to the fold). There was also a review that said a rainbow effect appeared but clicking on that to read more of the review took me to a completely different and positive review.
I've also tried the Newzerol and Miimall protectors but these are the same protector but in different packaging. These do two halves that run perpendicular to the crease but the biggest issue I had with these was they showed lines left by the squeegee, even days after the install which is strange considering how delicate I am when applying them to such a delicate device.
Edit - okay, so I've ordered the second one I linked to because the listing seems different enough to hope I get one line yours. As you pointed out, my original one did not have a cut out for the camera and this is reflected in the two listings - one shows no cut out, the other does. Perhaps they revised the product after feedback about the fold issue and also added a cut out? I'll update the thread with how I get on.

Yeah, the listing for the one I bought shows the hole cut out. But when I look at the UK listing it doesn't. That's weird. Doesn't make sense to make different variants for the UK.
Now, I do have faint lines from the squeegee. But you have look at you screen at an extreme angle, and get a light to reflect right on them to see them. I don't know if I could even photograph them.
Let me. Know how the second order goes. I'm genuinely curious.
Okay so the screen protector came today and wow, I'm extremely impressed and very happy that I now have a screen protector on this device.
This Gobukee protector was very much different than the first one I bought from Amazon UK (so there's two different variations on the same Amazon UK store), in the following ways:
The protector comes with a hole punch for the camera for the inner, large display
The install method is different, essentially this display protector anchors at the top near the selfie camera
The install went really well, initially I was left with a fair few bubbles around the crease but these disappeared after 30 mins of trying to work them out with the squeegee and leaving it for an hour open.
You'll see from my pictures that you can't tell there's a protector on at all and it feels much better than the stock protector that comes in the device. Also, unlike the original Gobukee protector, no rainbow discolouration where the device folds.
I wouldn't dare not use a protector on either display on this device. Even with Gorilla glass Victus on the front and not putting this device in any pocket with items that could scratch the display, the front display has picked up some very faint hairline scratches. Not a big deal as you really need to look for them at the right lighting angle to see them but if the front display can scratch then the inside display definitely can. Plus dust and debris can easily get to the inside screen due to the large gap between the two halves near the hinge.
So Mr. Orange 465, thanks for bringing this protector to my attention and leading me to discover there were different versions doing the rounds.

Awesome!! I'm glad you found one that works!!
I just installed the Ozero about five days ago. I noticed yesterday that it was starting to peel up on the edges right at the crease. Planned to change it out this weekend. Then today I opened the phone and the Orzero completely let go at the crease. From top to bottom it came loose from the screen. I'll try to post a pic tonight of it when I'm home and have access to my other phone.
I'll try the other Ozero screen protector I have and hope this was a fluke, since I love how smooth these feel, but if the next one lets go like this one, I'll go back to Gobukee. I never had an issue with them.
Got so tired of the crappy internal screen protector and finally (hesitantly) removed it and replaced it with the healing shield matte screen protector from Amazon. The install went flawlessly outside of a few bubbles on the edges which hopefully go away in the next couple days. It's such a night and day difference. Before I avoided using the large screen cause I hated the feeling of it and OH MAN all those fingerprints.....now, although the screen isn't as sharp, it still looks great to me and is silky smooth AND no fingerprints anywhere. I know there have been a lot of complaints about it lifting after a couple days or weeks so I'll be cautious, but for now I love it.
Hi, any updates on this screen protector? Any bubbles appeared along the crease or corners etc? Thanks...
I just tried put this screen protector. It does bubble slightly from the top of the crease when open.....sometimes. sometimes I'll open it and it's fine. However this is much better than many of the other clear protectors I've tried. Seems slicker and more scratch resistant than the others as well to me. I'm actually going protector free for a little while and see how I like it. I think I've tried 8 or 9 screen protectors now. I'm more partial to the matte ones for fingerprint reasons.

No bubbles or peeling at all. I actually removed it to try the Ozero brand screen protector, but that one actually would shrink on really cold days, and would come completely loose at the fold when opening.
So I switched back to Gobukee and haven't had any issues at all. Best screen protector out there, in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply... I'm guessing the rear screen protector, if it has one, doesn't actually fit the whole of the rear? Thanks .. trying to find k e that covers all the rear of the phone (other than the camera)..
Can anyone provide some new links for the screen protectors, this ones are not available. I need to replace my interior screen but the ones i see are not so good

Okay so the screen protector came today and wow, I'm extremely impressed and very happy that I now have a screen protector on this device.
This Gobukee protector was very much different than the first one I bought from Amazon UK (so there's two different variations on the same Amazon UK store), in the following ways:
The protector comes with a hole punch for the camera for the inner, large display
The install method is different, essentially this display protector anchors at the top near the selfie camera
The install went really well, initially I was left with a fair few bubbles around the crease but these disappeared after 30 mins of trying to work them out with the squeegee and leaving it for an hour open.
You'll see from my pictures that you can't tell there's a protector on at all and it feels much better than the stock protector that comes in the device. Also, unlike the original Gobukee protector, no rainbow discolouration where the device folds.
I wouldn't dare not use a protector on either display on this device. Even with Gorilla glass Victus on the front and not putting this device in any pocket with items that could scratch the display, the front display has picked up some very faint hairline scratches. Not a big deal as you really need to look for them at the right lighting angle to see them but if the front display can scratch then the inside display definitely can. Plus dust and debris can easily get to the inside screen due to the large gap between the two halves near the hinge.
So Mr. Orange 465, thanks for bringing this protector to my attention and leading me to discover there were different versions doing the rounds.

Hi, please could you provide a link to the version that works for you in the UK.
I'm looking to add a screen protector to the inside screen and haven't found a decent one yet
