I'm currently running this combo and I honestly don't believe that I could be happier with anything other than my Black UAG case with the "Nillkin Amazing H+" Tempered Glass Protector. Everything looks GREAT, feels like it could be an oem "industrial" variant of the Note 3, and best of all, SUPERIOR protection all around the phone. I feel much, much more confident about the security and durability of my phone now that I've got it completely wrapped up all the way around. The Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP is a very solid, yet buttery smooth, screen protector that bonds to the screen sooooo well that no one else even knows that I've got a TGP on the front screen. The edges of this protector are sooo smoothly rounded over to where it meets the edges of my Note 3 that you don't really feel any gap in screen coverage at all. You can run your fingers up the side of the phone and they just glide right on up and over to the front of the phone ALMOST without even knowing that the TGP and the frame of the phone are totally separate pieces.
At first I was skeptical that this would work with my UAG case because before I had any kind of screen protector on the phone, it was already a very tight squeeze to fit it in the UAG case. I felt almost certain that any added thickness to the phone itself(the thickness of the TGP) would render my UAG case useless, but that was not the case. Yea, it took a tad bit more wiggling the phone around while trying to stuff it in the UAG case, but it popped right on in there just fine.
Everything fits together just wonderfully and I'm 100% satisfied that I went this route. I have no doubt in my mind that my VERY expensive Note 3 is protected from any drops, scratches, etc.(...not waterproof though =/ ) about as well as it's ever gonna be. Before I had my phone wrapped in this kinda of stellar protection, I would hardly let anyone use my phone for anything at all, let alone even touch it! But now, I feel comfortable enough that I don't hardly hesitate when 4-year old son asks me if I will let him hold my phone to flip through picture albums, watch his favorite movies and TV shows, play Angry Birds, or even draw me a silly picture with the S-Pen. If I ever, and that's big "IF", find myself in the market for a case/screen protector combo for this phone again in the future, I can just stop the search right there, dead in its tracks.....I'll be ordering the UAG case and Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector and calling it a day!!
....and one more thing....you better believe it...given the product availability and high rate of tech advancements we're currently experiencing, this combo WILL be part of my "arsenal" of accessories for my next phone, whatever that may be...Note 4?

So tempted to get one too after seeing so many positive reviews on UAG case. But there's one thing that bothers me according to some reviews on amazon, has UAG revised on the design and left a cutout for the thermal sensor below the bottom right of the bezel?

yes...
I have the same combo but my tempered glass is brando 00.2mm. No problems with fitting and doesnt bury the home button. You will not even notice that it is tempered glass since it is soooo thin. I suggest you consider it.

Where did you get your Nillkin TPG? I've looked on ebay but they all ship from China. I know they are Chinese but I fell more comfortable when they ship from the US. UAG cases are awesome btw. I have the white and black one.

I ordered mine with my Amazon Prime account in the weeeee hours of Thursday, January 16th around like 3:00am-4:00am and got a knock on my door from the UPS man the very next day, Friday, January 17th around 2:45pm....that right there is why I LOVE Amazon Prime!! =) Given that, you don't need to worry one bit about putting your money out there on Ebay to a sketchy/iffy merchant on the other side of the planet in China, while not really knowing if you'll receive your order in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month...or hell, quite possibly not even at all !! That's why I always try my darndest to stick with the "Fulfilled by Amazon" items on Amazon.com. Sooooo, anyway...lol...I got a little side-tracked there...my bad! :silly:
Anyway, what I was gettin at, was where I got my Nillkin TGP. I ordered it on Amazon and it was a "Fulfilled by Amazon" item, so I didn't have much of anything to worry about there. Just to make things a LOT quicker and a little bit more simplified for ya, I'll point ya in the right direction. Seriously though, click the link to Amazon at the bottom of this post, check out the Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP listing, gravitate the cursor on over towards the right side of the page and click "Add to Cart" and be done with it. A few days later when you receive it and carefully install it, you'll be looking this thread up to tell us just the same type of things that I also mentioned in my previous post..guaranteed.(Well, assuming that everything went well regarding your order, packaging quality, and item shipment, etc.)
Yea, it may only have a few customer reviews SO FAR, but take that with a grain of salt. As soon as I can get a spare chance, I'll also be adding my review for this Nillkin TGP. So don't hesitate to order one of these! Assuming that you know how to install it properly, or at least if you don't already know, do your homework and read all the advice here on these forums, read the instructions that come in the package (if you need to) and take your time putting it on your screen and you should be as happy of a customer as I am! Sooo, anyway, here's the link,,,,finalllllyyyy!!! lol :good:
Amazon: "Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Protector"

Hi All,
Can someone please recommand me a good protector? I'm currently using the Smartphone Experts one...the material does a great job in reducing smudges and oil marks but I strongly recommend against that brand because it looks like it was cut by a 5 yo with safety sisscors. The non straight cuts and horrible fitment doesn't bother me too much as the Innocase covers the edges, but it causes the protector to be lifted around the entire edges. This drives me nuts as I'm pretty anal regarding cosmetics.
I know there's the Brando (?) one, but haven't found any reviews regarding quality..any others?
Thanks,
I've used only three brands of screen protectors... I can recommend that Clarivue is the best of Stock T-Mobile Screen Protector and Zagg. Clarivue is simple and is anti smudge/glare to apply to your phone and much tougher than T-Mobile Screen Protector, but Zagg is even more protective but it has issues like orange peel and the screen is very sticky and hard to apply, and it doesn't look so good with smudges and oil marks. The worst of all is the screen protector is very hard to slide your finger or even stylus around.
Just ordered. Thanks for the recommendation!
It's on sale for $10.99 for 2 + 10% discount (code: Clarivue7) + free shipping = $10.38/tax!!
I also found a great detailed review here.
Edit - can't post link..but you can google "Clarivue Anti-glare screen protector for Droid" posted on androidforum
I have been using the Boxwave anti-glare screen protector and I think it is an excellent product but I do not like their customer service. Just recently I noticed a scratch on my LCD so I email Boxwave to send me a replacement.
It took them 3 days to return my email, and I ended up playing a cat and mouse game with them to send me a replacement. Keep in mind everytime I sent them an email it took them 3 days to get back to me. I first opened a case with them on 4/05 and finally as of yesterday they accepted the RMA and will send me a replacement.
That is very poor customer service due to the time frame. They do not even post phone #'s to call them directly. I really cannot tolerate poor customer service and I will be doing business with them again. I've dealt with ZAGG, bodyguardz and Phantom Skinz. None of them took this long to take care of an issue.
As I said if you want a nice anti glare screen protector try Boxwave's, but if issues arise don't expect them to handle it any time soon.
I read good things about Boxwave too, but $15.55 each shipped is a little too steep for me. According to ppl who have used both, quality between the 2 is minimal. :fingers crossed:

Cool, hope you respond to this thread again when you get it and give us your review
So I received my Clarivue Anti-glare protectors today. I must say the whole order processing/shipping process was very fast.
Comparing this to the SPE protector, physically, the material is noticably thinner which makes the touchscreen a bit more responsive. As for cut, this one is better, but still not perfect comparing to Seidio or OEM...but it's ok because my Innocase covers most of the edges. One thing that bugs me is the bottom is straight cut (not cut around the horns by the buttons), which I don't like.
I've been putting on protectors for years, yet I still suck at it. Took me about 10 tries...kept getting dust in between. Since it's static, I washed it a few times with soap and water and it held up fine. I also applied it when it was still a little wet. I want to note that this protector is cut very well, no rough cuts meaning no lifts/airbubbles around the edges like the SPE.
Performance...well, I'm quite disappointed. Yes, it's thinner so it's more responsive, but I never really had any complaints/issues with the SPE one in that department. HOLY COLOR BLEEDING!! With Anti-glare protectors, it comes with it. The SPE one had it, but not enough to ever bother me, but this one, it's pretty bad. Also, on white (ie email), you can really see the red/white/blue. I'm going to keep it on and see if my eyes adjust..if not, I'm going to try the Brando one or go back to the SPE.
Note, for the TP2, I've used OEM, Seidio, SPE, flea market special and now Clarivue.
Edit - Since it's a thread on anti-glare/smudge, I should mention that it does very well at hiding fingerprints. Oil/face prints is ok, hides it better than reg protectors like it should. As for glare..not sure yet. I'm a hermit working in the flippin bat cave so I'll see sunlight when I leave work.
Update - it's only been a couple days and it already got a bit scratched. only wear it saw was in and out from my pocket...not amused
Pro-Tech Seems to Work
I've used Pro-Tech screen protectors for my last three phones -- works great: put it on once (carefully! follow directions!) and forget about it. About $10 for screen protector, and mine still look good after a couple of years each. Makes a good anti-smudge surface.
http://www.protechyourdevice.com/servlet/the-496/Protech-Invisible-Protection-Screen/Detail
figured id chime in on the screen protectors ...ive used about 3 different brands and finally bought the skinomi tech skin it was on amazon for 9.95 + ship and it comes with a lifetime replacment warranty ive had it for nearly a month now and although it doesnt help with the glare as much and shows finger prints .....i myself have personaly ran it through the paces ...i used my car key for a stylus one day ....just to see and sure enough it scratched it to what i thought was unrecoverable and then i plugged it in over night and when i woke up in the morning the screen was as clear as it was the night before so i wiped the fingerprints off of it and tried again
I have been using the ClearProtector for about a month now, and really like it so far. The fitment is just slightly off, but not so much that it would be a problem and it's very tough.
I personally LOVE my Ghost Armor. I used to only use Zagg, but I do not like the very rapid discoloration, the "orange peel" texture, and the stickyness of the film. Ghost Armor is clearer, thinner, smoother, and it doesn't give you that sticky feeling when you run your finger across it. It fits VERY well, and if you have a kiosk in your mall they will apply it for you in about 20 minutes. This also means if they mess up the application of the protector, they will just use a brand new one and fix it for you!
Go with Clarivue Anti-Glare!

I ordered the Clarivue Anti-Glare with the same deal back in February. (Except no tax, so my total was $9.89 for 2 screen protectors.) HERE is link for CDMA version. Other versions available at www.clarivue.com.
I love it! It makes screen glare almost nonexistent. Best of all, no fingerprints! As an added bonus, the tactile feel of the protector is nice, sort of like running your finger over fine paper. After a day, you don't even notice the difference.
Some people claim to experience a very slight "wet" or "halo" effect. I don't see that normally, unless I have strong reading glasses on, and then I only slightly notice it. In any event, it is not enough to defeat the positives.
All in all, I highly recommend the Clarivue Anti-Glare Screen Protector! I've used daily since February and am still on my first of 2 protectors. And with the deal, it's even better!
So I recently just bought the Sprint Lg G3 and I loved it. I felt very insecure using my phone bare naked and didn't feel comfortable putting it in my pocket in fear of scratching the back or the screen. Within days of having this phone, I have already scratched the back battery plate cover (very minimal though).
So I went ahead and bought the Spigen Slim Armor case along with the iCarez tempered Glass Screen Protector. Both go well with each other.
-Spigen Slim Armor Case: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQI2LNQ/ref=twister_B00M8RXZ64?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
-iCarez Tempered Glass Screen Protector: http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Scratch-Bubble-free-Fingerprint-Protector-Replacement/dp/B00KGSW734/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1420355354&sr=1-1&keywords=icarez+lg+g3
I have loved both products since I received them. The Spigen armor fits on so well with all the right cutouts (perfect). It doesn't make the phone that fat honestly. The iCarez screen protector is amazing as well. It comes off very easily if you peal the edge with your fingernail which helps when applying the screen. I would highly recommend the iCarez tempered glass screen protector to all G3 owners out there. The quality of the glass is amazing and feels just as amazing as the original screen. It has all the right cutouts and is very easy to install with no problems with air bubbles (but be careful of dirt under the screen).
I'd highly recommend the Spigen Slim Armor to anyone looking for a case.
This is the second phone I have had using a Spigen Slim Armor case with (Samsung GS4 was the first) and I agree with IamFlynn. The case is very nice, great fit, great quality, and it makes the device just slightly fatter than without. It feels like a very expensive case once it is on the phone. As soon as I got the phone, before I left the Sprint store, it was already on. I haven't taken it off much since it feels so good on the phone.

I've had 2 slim armor cases (N5 and this one) and they have both been extremely slippery. So much so that it has actually caused me to drop the phone in times when I normally wouldn't. As for drop protection, I can say this case on my G3 isn't the greatest. It slipped out of my hand once and hit asphalt. The first bounce seemed to do a good amount of protection, but the phone came out of the case and landed separately from the case. I've since gone with a different one with more texture, but this is a slick looking case indeed.
i love this case but i have to agree that it is a little slippery. One thing that really bugs me although i highly doubt that they considered it when designing the case is that i cannot prop it up on something unless the angle is just right because of the hard plastic it just slips. I like to watch netflix when im cooking or what ever and getting this thing to sit upright is chore. But ive had the case since day one and in every other way i love it.

OMG! Me too! haha. My old case for my Epic 4g Touch had a rubber case and allowed me to because of grip but this case just doesn't but I still love it!
I've had the gold case since November and the back gets really scratched up just from being in my pocket.

I'm starting to notice that as well, it stinks but I'm okay with it for now.
I've only had mine since the week before Christmas and mine is all scratched too. Love the case though. Really compliments the phone.
I've had this case for a few months and love it! I've several phones and cases over the years and this is by far my favorite. It forms extremely well to the phone and it isn't too big or bulky.
Per what others have said, mine has a few scratches but that's what cases are for. Just means it's doing it's job LOL

After the comments on here and a typical YouTube research I ordered the Ultra Hybrid case. Looking forward to it. I've had the tempered glass for it and I strongly recommend it to anyone that has a G3
So like me i am sure you all went thru a lot of glass and plastic screen protectors for your galaxy S7 and nothing fits right or feels same.
Here is a new one by CORAL

Here is a video review by our own ebpman

Hopefully i was able to help you all out!
EDIT UPDATE:
Review for the Coral Tempered Glass
#1 Looks 8/10- It dosent look exactly like the phone, so its like putting a case for the front as well. However dont get me wrong it does look very good so i will give it an 8 since it does not preserve the samsung color all the way but it comes very close.
#2 Design: Idk how i can rate this one. It is shaped just like the phone screen so thumbs up i guess.
#3 Functionality: Flawless touch screen experience. This field will get 10/10
#4 Compatibility: Already tried it with other cases, about 5 of them (i work at Verizon) and it works well with all of them. I can see it being a problem with some off brand super tight cases though. I tested it with UAG, Incipio, Speck, Spigen, Case Mate.
#5 Protection: It makes my phone feel very secure and is a solid over all product. so this is one place it gets 10/10 for sure. It is 0.26 MM which is thinner than 0.33 MM regular glass we are used to but if the glass was any thicker i dont think the cases would fit it, so i do believe its the perfect thickness.
Overall its a 9 depending on how it does with my cases but i am sure it ill pass with flying colors.
Will do a more in depth review once i get back home from work tonight or tomm. Will post pictures
I am using it with an otter-box commuter right now and its working great. Also idk how many of you saw this but here is the video of our very own ebpman who did a review on one as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Fzelt0l9s
Another review by @seoulbrova https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70dP...ature=youtu.be
P.S: I have more cases coming in oblique and caseology and all so ill post how those work with this here.
These companies should probably have options where the samsung logo gets hidden.

would you really like that?? i kind prefer mine as if there is nothing on the screen to preserve the orignal look. But then i am also the person whos like BEFORE and is against the after
Ordered one, hope it's as nice as it looks.
Are there any distributors of Coral products in Canada? The shipping costs bring this to about $60 CDN, which seems a bit high for me. Also, is Coral associated with Leaf (perhaps owned by them)?
I wanted to order this, but even with the $5 off coupon, it adds up to $30+. They charge $4.50 for first class mail shipping, which is ridiculous. $32 for a screen protector is a bit rich.

Please let us know how it fits! It seems like all the manufacturers are having problems with those curved edges with not only tempered glass, but also PET. Those slightly curved edges are making it difficult to find any screen protector that is full screen and doesn't have edge lifting or issues with cases. This is the first company with a full screen tempered glass protector that actually has a video of it on the s7 and addresses those issues. Still, it will be good to hear from someone that has tested it first hand that isn't paid by the company.

Is it ? everytime i ship something using first class mail it always ends up being over $5 honestly i cant comment on the weight as idk if i have ever shipped anything which weighs like a tempered glass but oh well i wont complain if it works properly, otherwise back it goes lol.
Whats with colored screen protectors this time around?
Are they trying to hide the rainbow effect?
I can confirm that this tempered glass protector would fit as advertised because i bought the plastic ones and they fit perfectly. Heres the link. I purchased one and should arrive in a week. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/17175543...49&var=470968620531&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Just bought the gold, will update on how it looks.

Interesting, is that a knockoff Zagg? Not that the brand matters. As long as it fits, protects the screen and doesn't interfere with the touch sensititivy, I don't care about the brand. Maybe mfg finally figured out how to make these for the curved glass. However, the title states for Samsung Galaxy S6 S7 and I've seen plenty on Amazon that state full coverage for Galaxy S7. Then based on reviews, it seems they just rebranded an S6 protector. It does state beneath the title, [tested on Galaxy S7], and also gives the option to select S6 or S7. I hope it fits! If so, it means that there will be a lot more of these available and prices will come down. If you bought the PET one, did you notice any edge lifting?
@ -Gir-, in the video it actually shows the rainbow effect, so no, I don't think that's it. Maybe it helps with aligning it? I don't know, and it does seem sort of unnecessary. The one in the ebay link also has colored borders.
Dam, no getting these in the UK? I checked the site and they only ship to the states.

I am waiting on the glass one to arrive. I bought a 3 pack of the plastic ones and stuffed one of them up but second one fit on perfectly. Using a Spigen case and no screen lifting. Touch sensitivity is smooth as it is off. No problems at all
I got my onyx s7 yesterday, 1st day out of the house. Rocking a spigen case (need to change the case, rear is clear plastic and very slippy) add to that the screen is naked, im scare of breaking it.
Ive akways had tempered glass on my s5 and had no issues. ordered the crystal spigen but desperate for a tempered glass one in the uk
will wait for a price drop, they sell other items on amazon for much less. obviously this will be higher than most but hoping a small drop will happen soon
keep us posted on field tests

I can confirm that this tempered glass protector would fit as advertised because i bought the plastic ones and they fit perfectly. Heres the link. I purchased one and should arrive in a week. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/17175543...49&var=470968620531&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Looks like that one only ships in Australia, which is shame for me here in Canada. The price seems much better than the one from Coral, but maybe there is a quality difference. If I was in Oz I would likely order this one and try it out. The price of the Coral one is too high for me to order it right now.

Thanks, but looks like that one also only ships within Oz. I decided to order this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Galaxy-Protec...458707412&sr=8-8&keywords=screen+protector+s7
I'll report back once I get it and (try to) install it.

Hope that Jetech works for you! Just checked again on Amazon and it looks like there are quite a few options now with the same description as the Coral one; namely 9H hardness, oleophobic coated and full coverage (Sorry, can't add urls, newbie poster, long time browser). Also, all seem to have the colored borders. Prices seem to range from about $8.99-$29.99 (Checked Amazon UK and there seems to be a few on there too!). I have noticed that like the Jetech, most of these state the thickness is 0.3 mm, which one reviewer stated made pressing the home button difficult for his fat fingers. Curious to know if anybody else has had that issue before. It seems this is a common thickness for the tempered glass. My last one had a gap under the home button so it wasn't an issue.
@ Leeum, thanks for the update on the fit of the plastic ones. Good to know you didn't have issues with edge lift with the Spigen case.
@ StickyGeko, I had the same case and almost dropped it first day! Immediately ordered another case and only kept that one on there long enough for the new one to arrive. Ended up going with the Spigen Slim Armor. Still a bit smooth for my liking, but it seems to have just a bit more padding.
Hi all,
it would be nice if we could compile a list of the accessories we're happy with.
I'll start with the official case. It's really snug and feels good in your hand, and (as opposed to the official case of the original Swift) it doesn't crack when you look at it crossly Really happy with it, endorse it without reserve. (You need to like flashy orange, though )
EDIT: this one: https://www.pdashop.be/product/759010/wileyfox-swift-2-swift-2-plus-back-cover-oranje.html
Okay so for the cases:
My device came with the official one (in grey color), and after a month or so the power button came off, it didn't seem very strong at first and I knew that was going to happen at some point. Still, not disappointed with it but I didn't feel like it was "protective enough".
So, I went ahead and bought this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/WileyFox-Olycism-Shock-Absorption-Resistant-Transparent/dp/B06XG78G9B/ which came yesterday, and it definitely feels more safe now. Official case feels too plasticky for me, and I've always been a fan of this gummy style of cases. The cutouts for buttons and I/O are perfect, and align perfectly with the device. It doesn't feel too much thick either, so it's definitely a plus. It has a bezel protecting the screen in case the phone falls to the floor, so yeah. I don't regret spending 6 bucks on it in sale.
I can provide pics of any of both, if someone needs it.
I've got a clear one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132114205792 , which seems to look very similar to the case shared by linuxct . Fits well and cut outs are good.
Need to buy some screen protectors soon..

I got one of these:

It fits good and the possibillity transport debit cards or paper money without a wallet is nice. Unfortunately the seam dissolves a litte bit but that can beficed with a fire lighter or a drop of superglue.

Are they snug enough? I bought one that looked like these on e-bay for my original Swift, and it wasn't really tight enough. Just tight enough in fact to remain on the phone, but it felt quite loose.
Anyone know a good fitting tempered glass screen protector for the 2X? Al the ones I found are too big (edges don't curve down) and don't stick very well.
Wileyfox themselves have just released a screen protector for the swift 2x I've just ordered one. I've tried loads bought off eBay and had refunds for all of them as the fit has been terrible.
I bought a soft screenprotector from Screenknight. Fits very well and is smooth (after I peeled the protection layer off haha). I don't like the soft feeling, but it's better than an ill fitting tempered glass one.
I'm just gonna order the one on Wileyfox's site and report back when I receive it.
- Edit -
I received the screenprotector.
Good quality and very easy to apply.
After application you see a little oily residue under the screen. I hope that will disappear after a while.
Cool thing is that the logo on the bottom is shiny, so it's more visible than the dark logo.
I too got one of the Wileyfox screen protectors for the swift 2x it has the slightly oily look underneath it too. I thought it was a fault and got a replacement but the second one is the same. It does seem the best fit out of all the ones I've tried so far. The oily look is only visible when the screen is off. I do have a screen knight but have never applied it as I didn't fancy getting the phone wet.
Another one here with the slimy look under the screen protector. Fits nicely and like already said, looks nice too.
Got one of these as a case
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071LDGHTQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Awful. Looks smooth in the piccys but the back has quite sharp edges.
This was the reply from Wileyfox about the "oily" screen protector issue.
"Other than making sure your screen is clean and then reapplying the screen protector there isn't much else I can suggest I'm afraid."
Not a big problem anyway.
Dropped my phone on a sand path with pebbles. My screenprotector flew off. Cracked.
Not a scratch on my screen or case
Been walking around without screenprotector since. The screen is much more responsive compared to with the screenprotector.
I think I'm gonna leave it like this. If my screen breaks, I just get it repaired or get a new phone.
Hi folks,
I'm used to using TGSP, and I bought one of the OP TGSPs for the 6T, but for now I'm leaving it unopened. I actually like the factory-applied plastic film, except for the fact that it picks up scratches so easily.
Is there a more durable or self-healing plastic that has that same slick feel and edge-to-edge coverage? I'd like to replace my factory one with a similar-but-less-scratchable alternative without adding the thickness of glass and without losing edge to edge coverage.
I've read lots of these threads but there are so many opinions and most of the action is around TGSP.
I'm in the US, so please focus on ones available here.
My current best guess from Amazon is the IQ Shield one.
Thanks!

I couldn't find one like stock so I opted for a glass one mad by SuperShieldz.
I had used them before.
Works pretty well and I'd give it about a 4.5/5.

Been using the one you posted for a month now and it's great. Perfect fit and even covers a lil bit of extra room at the bottom so if you're using nav gestures you won't be peeling at the bottom of it.
I used to use Armor Suit film protectors exclusively on all of my phones. May want to give them a look. I never had any issues with them at all.

I'm using that one now. Closest to the stock one. Doesn't scratch easy at all. First try had 3 specks under by earpiece. 2nd attempt I have 1 speck in middle but it's liveable. I would definitely recommend it. The tgsp just blocks the edges. I didn't even have to retain fingerprints
Ok, I ordered it. Will install this weekend. Kinda scared to remove the factory one but it's already scratched after a month, and my phone lives in a case most of the time.
Will report back how it goes. Is it wet apply or dry?

Last night I removed the pre applied protector and put on the IQ shield one. It was an easy wet apply process. Got it on fine though maybe close to a mm too low; after it had mostly dried out by this morning I had a bit of an edge at the bottom where the screen curves. I burnished it down and hope it will stay. The protector is pretty full coverage, with a notch for the camera.
It was easy to work out the few bubbles while everything was wet, and I looked at the phone on edge using light reflections to see bumps to be squeegeed out. As expected there was some distortion while it was still wet, so I just set the phone aside until morning.
Fast forward 10 hours, and the distortion is gone. There is a definite orange peel "microbump" effect on the screen protector surface; hopefully that will diminish as it continues to dry out.
It's also not as slick as the original pre applied protector, at least not yet.
Let's see how it goes and will report back in a few days.

Approaching 48 hours. The IQShield protector is doing well. It feels a bit slicker to my touch than it used to, perhaps due to a slight haze of finger oils after being used for a while, or perhaps because it's fully dry now.
It still has the orange peel ripple effect on the surface. I'm attaching a picture of what a reflection of light looks like on it, so you can get an idea:
View attachment 4696222
The material is soft; if you drag a fingernail across it, it will leave a trail until it squishes back out. This is the "self healing" property. Reminds me of the coating on the screen protector I had on my 3T.
I was hoping for a smoother, "harder" surface with the IQShield, but it is a high quality product. If you are looking for a full coverage plastic screen protector and like the slightly squishy self healing type, this one is a no brainer. Excellent wet apply process and it seems robust. If you are looking for "a replacement for glass, but something that won't break" this probably isn't for you.
I'm going to live with it for a month or two and see how I feel. I may eventually remove it and replace with a glass TGSP.

Thanks for your review/input. I was torn between this or the Skinomi one. I had a TGSP before from Omotion with the oem case and it landed face first and cracked the digitizer because it sat flush with the lip of the case. It was my kinda my fault though because I knew this and was waiting on my Rhinoshield bumper and couldn't wait to slap on my TGSP. Anyways got it fixed and always kinda wanted the orangy look because I never could afford Zaggs years ago [emoji38]

I remember the Zagg protectors! Had one on my DroidX in ~2010. Good product but it absorbed dye from my holster case and got gradually darker in regions of it where it had most contact with the inside of the holster. I sent it back eventually and got a free replacement; good warranty. I hope this IQShield one won't darken...

Couple weeks in now. Really liking the self healing protector. Sure it has a bit of orange peel effect but that doesn't impact use. It has held up well so far.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
I will have the wet imak film protection any time now, though I wonder if I apply it or keep the stock one.
For people who applied third party film protection do you recommend it or no difference with stock?
IQshield is self healing and soft squishy not flat like the stock one. I like it after some use.

Doesn't fully cover the visible screen area, same as many cheaper protectors.
Im in the same boat as OP.
Really liked the pre-applied screen protector the 6T came with (does Oneplus not sell that one?)
Lasted about 2 months, but I really liked how clear it was.
I ordered the IQ Shield one, and while good, it has the orange skin effect going on that the included didnt have. Any recommended options for clear flim protectors for the 6T?

Yep, put mine on today, it sucks. Doesn't cover the whole screen, makes it look a little grainy, just a crappy product. Yeah maybe it's super strong but what's the point of it makes using the device a poor experience?
