Hello.I ordered from amazon.de Anker tempered glass and PULSARplus TPU. Easy glass installation with no bubbles what so ever.I did not align the glass perfect with the Nexus 5 so i had to ``ajust`` the PULSARplus case with a lighter around the inside edges of the case.But everything is in order now and i love the phone even more and is safe and secure.I recommend both the Anker tempered glass and PULSARplus TPU .
What i noticed: -Anker tempered glass has a ``border`` around the glass 1/4 of an milimeter that does not stick and have no glue on it and in time it will collect dust.But this is how Anker made the glass.
- very very smooth
- very good Oleophobic Coating
PULSARplus TPU - very good and well made case
- the buttons are perfect and coverd and separated.
I bought this tempered glass screen protector-
Weili's Pro-Glass Premium tempered glass screen protector
A Pro-Glass is made with specially processed glass to protect Screen of the device from shocks and scratches. It is very effective in absorbing the impact.The Pro-Glass is transparent with silicon properties on the adhesive side. The static clinge between the Pro-Glass and LCD maximizes touch-screen sensitivity.
Features:
The Pro-Glass is perfectly transparent.
Oleophobic coating: Anti Fingerprint coated layer for resistance against smudges and fingerprints.
Surface Hardness: 10H(at the front written 9h)
Slim chemical treatment processed Tempered glass (Thickness 0.33mm)
Anti Shattered Film.
Sensitive touch.
So far working very good. Price was 300tk (about 4$), bought it from Motaleb plaza in Bangladesh.
I've got couple of cases and screen protectors, for anyone interested here are my observations:
Note: links to products are random, do your own search before buying.
1. Nillkin Super frosted case, purchased for 4.7 eur
Pros:
- good fit
- comes with a soft screen protector
- hard case
- rubbery non slipping surface
Cons:
- bundled screen protector is is smaller than the actual display and scratches extremely easily, smudges quickly, hard to clean
- rubbing against the surface can irritate the skin as it's a bit harsh/sharp
- uncomfortable to hold for prolonged time due to above (ebook reading)
2. Imak hard "cowboy" case, purchased for 6.1 eur
Pros:
- hard case with good fit
- non slippery, sandpaper like surface
- no sharp edges anywhere
- bundled with a soft screen protector (didn't try it yet, but probably the same as Nillkin)
Cons:
- probably none
3. Noname "Luxury Ultra Thin Soft TPU Silicone Matte Rubber Case Cover" for less than 1 usd
Pros:
- extremely pleasant to touch, probably the best of all cases
- good fit, really thin
Cons:
- soft case, can deform over time
4. Noname "For Xiaomi Mi A1/5X Luxury Plating Clear TPU Case Shockproof Soft Rubber Cover" for 2.3 usd
Pros:
- none really
Cons:
- standard clear TPU case, thicker than other
- blue color is in fact purple
- slippery when wet
5. Gadgetshieldz ultra clear screen protector for 8.95 usd
Pros:
- full display coverage
- doesn't impact touch response
Cons:
- complicated wet installation
- a bit rubbery feel
- some edges are not fully glued even after more than 12 hours
- doesn't fully clear up, heavily distorts the screen even after few days (diffraction of pixels?), very visible with white color on the screen. It should be hard to peel off from the display, but it gets off with almost no effort, so shield probably isn't fully compatible with Mi A1 display (or its coating).
6. Full cover tempered glass screen protector, pack of 2 for 2.5 usd
This one didn't arrive yet, but I have very similar protector on another phone
Pros:
- easy installation
- full coverage
- real glass, oleophobic, feels like "naked" screen
- scratch resistant
- cheap
Cons:
- breaks easily
- glass itself is not glued to the screen (only the black/white edges)
- sometimes visible dotted pattern (touch sensitive layer)
- adds a bit of bulk to the phone (not an issue while using a back cover though)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Considering price and "performance" ratio, my picks are #2, #3 for case and #6 for screen protector.

The full screen protectors I've tried suck since you can clearly see the dots and a rainbow effect. It looks terrible. On the HTC 10 my full screen protector didn't have those dots.
I just wished there was a glass screen protector with oleophobic treatment (has the screen has) so it wouldn't get so much smudges, anyone knows one like that?
Cheers

I've seen/had full screen protectors with
1. clearly visible dots, no rainbow
2. almost invisible dots with rainbow
3. almost invisible dots with no rainbow
All of them were extremely cheap and eBay listing seemed to be the same or very similar product. No idea how to distinguish them.. Once I receive the batch for A1, I'll confirm if it's with visible dots and rainbow
Btw. IMAK PRO+ full screen protector might be what we want, in the descriptions it's mentioned that whole protector is glued to the screen, so it shouldn't show any adverse effects. Maybe I'll try it later when I run out of cheap protectors.
ordered one of this case, wait it arrive at me.
i think its a nice case, i bought it before for my friend redmi 4x, will make the phone a little thick.

Thanks, if you try it please tell me if it's good. I've never spent more than 1 dollar on a screen protector since I tend to think they are all the same.

Update about:
5. Gadgetshieldz ultra clear screen protector for 8.95 usd
It doesn't fully clear up, heavily distorts the screen even after few days (diffraction of pixels?), very visible with white color on the screen. Probably isn't fully compatible with Mi A1 display (or its coating).
However customer service was very nice, they sent me another shield, which unfortunately showed the very same problem. We agreed on refund (I will need to send used shield back). I can recommend the company, but not the product, at least with our phone.
I've tried a full coverage glass screen protector for my HTC 10 which didn't have micro dots, didn't have rainbow effect since it had glue in all the glass, not just the sides, it was perfect. For the Xiaomi Mi A1 I've come to the conclusion that there is no full coverage protector like that, they all have those stupid micro dots, makes the screen look terrible and I've decided that a smaller screen protector, which dosent cover the all screen, is the only way to go.
If someone finds a better full coverage protector please share with us.
Cheers
Here is my tempered glass and cover

I have same .. and it looks good
Hi, i want share this product with you. I ordered it from here https://flosmall.com/products/xiaomi-mi5x-flos-tempered-glass-screen-protector or you can also order it from here https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076J6N1TB
It includes TPU case, tempered glass, dust-absorber, wet and dry wipes, Wiping cloth with good packaging.
TPU case has protectors for the audio jack and the USB connector which is very good. TPU case stays well in hand. Volume and power buttons are working good.
You can choose white or black glass.
Here is some specs about tempered glass:
9H super hardness, anti-scratch and anti-explosion
Super extreme thin, display the original color of the phone screen and offer the sensitive touching
Anti blue laser and anti radiation protection
2.5D Arc, smooth edge design to anti-prevent hand scratch
Get your phone protected with this product completely with good price! I give 4,5/5. :good:
EDIT: added more pictures with glass and TPU case installed.
I've tried the two screen protectors from RhinoShield. One is a polymer film and the other is tempered glass.
https://rhinoshield.io/pages/shop/Google?device=google-pixel-2-xl&category=screen-protector
The tempered glass (pic 1-4) was great even tho it uses dot matrix and is not full adhesive (only adhesive around the edges) because whatever they did with the dot matrix they did right. There was no loss in touch sensitivity (rare for a dot matrix protector), it felt great to touch, it's not edge to edge so it is compatible with cases and fingerprints were easy to wipe off. However, because of the edge only adhesive, when I dropped the phone and it bottom planted onto the floor, the screen protector literally just popped off. That was concerning because if it was say a 'tumble' drop versus a face plant or bottom plant, the screen protector could pop off at first impact which leaves the screen unprotected the rest of the tumble. I wish they come up with a stronger adhesive material for these types of screen protectors. Otherwise, as far as glass goes, UV tempered glass is the only way to go but there's the added risk of the adhesion liquid damaging your phone.
The polymer film is my favorite of the 3 I tried (pic 5-6). It is not a wet applied TPU protector and it is not your usual plastic film protector. You apply it like a regular plastic film protector, but it is much thicker and it actually provides impact protection like a tempered glass. If you see my other review on pixel 2 xl cases, you will see that my phone has endured many drops and I'd say this screen protector has done its job. This polymer material feels very smooth to touch, much better than the Sparin wet applied protector that I used. It is not edge to edge, in fact it leaves quite a bit of the curved edge exposed in comparison to the Rhinoshield tempered glass but that means it is case friendly. I am not as concerned about the edges and corners since I expect my case to provide impact protection those areas. This is the one that I kept on the phone and it has been for the past 10 months.
Lastly, the Sparin wet applied screen protector (pic 7-8). There's not much for me to add as it carries similar pros and cons as other wet applied protectors. It provides full coverage but left a little bit of space to be case friendly. How it handles impacts, I would never know but I don't expect much from these types of screen protectors. I was surprised as it actually felt pretty nice to touch and the orange peel affect wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. It came off after a week or two as I really only used it to tie me over until the Rhinoshield stuff arrived. It was easy to remove and left no residue.

What the Rhinoshield polymer looks like now 10 months later.
Hi. I've been looking for a good screen protector that feels as nice as tempered glass but doesn't need me to shell out 50 bucks. I was wondering how the polymer one feels compared to the tempered glass? Also, how is the clarity? I have the Am Film with the dotted matrix and the clarity is just awful.
