the official oneplus 5 screen protector is about 2mm too small and doesn't fix the phone all the way around. It's supposed to be "3D" so it would hug the screen all the way around, but ends up pushing up on all sides because of the shape of it causing bubbles. I've attached several pictures showing that the application of it is perfectly centered in the pictures of the home and ear speakers. there's also a black border all around the screen protector on all the non-screen parts which ens up actually cutting off a few pixels around the entire screen..... you can see it completely cuts off a '0' in the recorder app, and the app drawer's scroll bar is almost completely cut off as well....
I've contacted OnePlus support and they declined my rma claim stating the below:

Thanks for the heads-up man! I was about to order it.
I installed mine yesterday. I also have the black parts cutting off the pixels on the sides..
I ordered a Nillkin today, hoping it will fit better.
Totally agree. Watched this video by @niijonodhg , saw it in his thread and it turned me off it totally! £18 for that crap? Bit disgraceful tbh. Purchased this Orzly one instead. Had it for my op3, and another video by the same guy said it was better then last year and he preferred it then the 3d glass one!
This was already known about and was shown in the video below...
It showed similar problems to their previous ones, namely when you're on the bootloader screen the protector cuts off some of the text because it's protruding onto the actual display area. He also showed the same problem as you @Nomelas, whereby the edges were not adhering properly.
I've got the Orzly protector (none of the cases I've ordered have arrived yet sadly) and it seems great (it does show fingerprints a little and there's a tiny bit of rainbowing), it's 2.5D rather than 3D, it also has a black border on it but it doesn't protrude onto the screen like the official one it also seems to be the favoured protector on the forums at the moment, here's a review of that one.
@niijonodhg (aka Absolutely Savage on YouTube) made these and is apparently doing a series of reviews, all very helpful
Here's the obligatory Orzly official application and test video:
They also show how well it works with a couple of the official cases.
I bought the original tgsp from OP.
I would not recommend that one.
Hard to apply without air on the sides/corners.(No dust)
And covers way too much of the screen!
Still trying to get my money back. As it is way too much for such a bad design.
If I keep the phone I will try to find a good replacement.
I honesly not sure why they are still selling them. Like most people in this thread already say. Orzly's TGSP does a much better job.
I have used same protector on OP3T and already installed to OP5 also.
Cutting couple pixels is said on product information. Im assuming you all readed it before ordering so you should know that. Also i dont have any bubbles, nice and clean installation without any issues so bubbles are user installation fault.
Comparing this to Orzly:
OP:
+ Adhesive on full screen part: its harder to install but really clear visiblity on screen, no gap between tgsp and screen and no oil slicks.
+ Really great oleophotic coating
+- Cutting off less than mm from both sides of screen. Its told on Oneplus website whem ordering (product information). Its so small that it dont bother me almost at all.
Orzly:
+ Dont cut as much as OP's own.
- Glue/adhesive only on edges which will cause small gap between screen and tgsp=not so clear visiblity as it would be if adhesive would been full screen. Also big possiblity for oil slicks. Also possiblity to pull of easier.
- Bad oleophotic coating

I got it in the bundle with the case, ear buds and 150mm extra dash cable (but no extra adapter....) and while it was basically free, I'm still pissed at the false advertising.... why would they sell a defective product? its a clear rip off. They probably made them all and by then it was too late so now they're trying to get rid of them, greasy imo.....
If it wasn't for this one (major) flaw, I'd say it would have been an amazing screen protector. I'll probably still use it until it scratches or breaks then get that orzly one.
EDIT: also, I'm pretty positive that disclaimer was NOT there when I ordered my phone on the 20th:
Disclaimer
To ensure the curved screen protector offers optimal protection while maintaining the sleek look of the OnePlus 5, the colored border extends over the edges of the display by approximately 0.9 mm.

Disclaimer was there same time when sales started. How i know? I ordered exactly same package than you!
Tell me how it's defective product? Because you messed up installation and got bubbles? That dont make product defective. Cut off is intentional, otherwise they wouldnt manage to do full adhesive, only side ones which is bad.

yeah I guess I lack the Doctor Strange ability to bend reality... my bad.
On another note, it's funny how a 3rd party can make a better fitting screen protector. I'll definitely be getting the Orzly.
And for the price, you'd think OnePlus would put a bit more R&D into it, like using a ruler.

Funny how you are crying how defective product is and when you are asked what makes product defective you answer with some stupid comments. For me it looks now like its defective because you messed installation and you didnt read disclaimer when you ordered.
You are free to buy what ever you want. My opinion is Orzly isnt better that OP's own, your opinion is that it is better and im fine with that.

I have seen all of videos but still dont see anything which would show about defective product. Maybe your piece was. Mine is just perfect without any bubbles.
It isnt design flaw, it was meaned to be like that because you wouldnt get full adhesive without it. It they would leave that area clear it would been look ugly because of halo and people would start cry. They choosed to not use "glue on sides" method as they even know that method is bad and screen wouldnt be as clear as without protector or with full adhesive screen protectors.

Well if i would need to choose between these:
1. Full adhesive: Drawback it will cut off your screen about 0,3mm per side but you have really clear view of your screen and no gap.
2. Side glues: No screen cut off, but gap between screen snd tgsp and because of that not that clear view either.
I would definetely choose option 1. They didnt have options if they wanted full adhesive.
Cut-off is so small that it wont even bother me and many other user as almost all apps has gapps on side before real content shows. Ofcourse i would like without cut-off but it dont bother me and i still prefer OP's official because of full adhesive and best oleophotic coating i have seen.
BTW, Orzly for OP3/3T had cut-off too. It was only like 0.1mm from both sides but it still was cut-off. And im almost sure they still have it, especially when OP5 is littlebit smaller than 3T was.

It's more like 0.9mm on EACH side which is very significant actually if you consider 401 ppi on the screen meaning you get almost 30 pixels cut off from each line from left to right. Factor in the height of 1920 pixels you lose 57,600 total pixels on your phone. Now, take into account there's a total of 2,073,600 pixels on the screen, you actually lose close to 3% of your total screen behind unnecessary screen protector bezels.
Hell, I'd gladly take 0.1mm over 0.9mm
Fought with oneplus and they now approved my claim for a replacement. Seems they at least acknowledge the issue but I doubt a replacement will solve anything. We'll see when I get it I guess.

good for you. I am in the process of fighting with them too because after my flawless installation, there began to accumulate dust under where the proximity sensor is. They told me its my fault because there was dust underneath before i installed it. wtf.
i have never dealt with such inept customer "support" I tweeted, chatted, emailed and called them today and supposedly a supervisor is reviewing my claim.
I have not taken it off yet, because despite its flaws, it adheres to (almost) the whole screen, and while i have orzly waiting, i cant stand the rainbow oil slick due to the lack of complete adhesive.

i have emailed Zagg the makers of the invisibleSHIELD which you can get for many htc device and others.
the problem is that on zagg's site for the htc hero Here only have an option for "Screen Coverage $14.99" and not for a "FullBody Coverage"
so i email them this
Hi
I'm very interested in a getting a "invisibleSHIELD" for my new phone the HTC hero. The problem is as i can see you only have a "Screen Coverage" option.
So i would love to know when if ever you're going to add a "Full Body Coverage" for a HTC Hero.

Hello Harry,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are Zealous About Great Gadgets! My name is Stephen and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
We had a device in our office when we created the design last week. The reason why we only offer the front screen is because when we placed the invisibleSHIELD on the back, it peeled the paint. We are doing more testing on it, because the device we received was a dummy so we want to make sure with the actual device. We do not have a time frame of when we will have that testing done, because the device is expensive, it will take awhile to figure it out if it is necessary or not.
I do apologize for the inconvenience as it is not the answer you were hoping for. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us again.
Thank you for choosing ZAGG. We appreciate your business!
All the best,

and all i can say is Where the f is this paint it's made of metal and rubber (i have one and i fell NO paint)
anyway this may help someone
the white version is coated with teflon which is the current slippiest substance known to man. I got a feeling that they might have trouble sticking stuff with contact glue.
yeah thats exactly what they told me. That they had tried to stick a shield but it would not work....
I actually saw some full body coverage on eBay but don't see it listed on the official Zagg site yet. So not sure if it's legit or not.
EDIT: My bad - the eBay listing isn't the ZAGG InvisibleShield, just a similar product by Clear Protector. URL: http://www.clearprotector.com/htc-hero-extended-protector.html

Cheers - I ordered the Clear Protector instead. Not a fan of Zagg IS.
I got a invisibleshield from zagg- hugely unimpressed. They are a nightmare to apply (literally hours), they *gain* air bubbles over time, the edge accumulates dust and dirt, and the adhesion clearly isnt that great- the top corner of mine has moved, crinkling that edge. Sure, nothing's going to get scratched but this is totally not worth it.
in its defense, it doesn't show smudges easily, which is nice. But thumbprints are just as bad as without the shield, making that more or less moot. I'm going to get a soft pouch instead and would reccomend the same to others.

Seconded, I got one for a friends LG Cookie not long ago and it was terrible, although it didn't take me long to put together it just didn't even seem like it was worth the money for what it did and made the phone feel too weird. Not too long after the edges started to peel, get a pouch.
Hi,
Recently I ordered the invisibleshield full body coverage (http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-hero-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php) on zagg web site and didn't seen the warning about the paint:
Warning! If you have a painted HTC Hero, the invisibleSHIELD could peel the paint
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I own the white version of the Hero but I didn't know what they mean about "peel the paint"....
So I contacted them :
Question:
Hello,
Thanks for the reply but you don't answer my question. The fact is that there is a problem with the full coverage and the HTC Hero:
According to Zagg web site: "Warning! If you have a painted HTC Hero, the invisibleSHIELD could peel the paint"
So my question was more precise: will the painting be damaged by the full coverage on my htc hero (the white version)?
Best regards.

Answer:
Hello,

The warning is for those that customize or modify their HTC Hero with acrylic paint. The invisibleSHIELD will peel it, the warning does not state, it will peel the paint of the device. I hope that clears up any worries that you have, if you have any other concerns, feel free to contact us again.
Thank you for choosing ZAGG. We appreciate your business!

Well....I think it's a weird answer because I'd never heard about that kind of customization and because the warning only concern the hero
Anyone think (like me...) that it's not safe for the teflon (and not for the acrylic paint as supposed by zagg...), to use the full body coverage according to the warning ?
I applied the Zagg 'full cover' to my Hero last night, it was dead easy to apply, but I'm rather unimpressed with the design. They go to great lengths on the website to stress how the IS wraps around the device keeping it safe, but not on the Hero, the edges - the bits that are going to be the most susceptible to chipping and knocking - are left uncovered.
It hadn't occured to me before I applied it, but I hope the screen doesn't become too 'tacky' to glide a finger across, as that would rather defeat the object of a touchscreen!
Applied my clear protector last night (screen only, didn't apply the back film) and I must say I am impressed with the slickness of the material's texture - in comparison to the Zagg I.S. it is a lot smoother when sliding your finger/thumb across it. One thing though is that Zagg I.S. is cut a lot better than the Clear Protector but it's not too bad. If I was going to choose between the two, I'd definately go for Clear Protector.

what do you mean? The invisible shield doesnt provide a full coverage of the phone? I am still deciding between clear protector and invisible shield.
I also have a clear protector.
At first I wasnt too impressed. The cut on the screen is around 1mm too small along each edge, and a few mm short in length on the rear.
Althought after a few days it has grown on me and seems a part of the phone, phone has lost its smooth touch on rear case, but the protector is very protective!!! I tried a knofe on it as they do on youtube vids. And it really does do a great job, shame it doesnt protect the edges where it would be likely to get damaged when dropped.
Just received an email from Clear-Coat today, who manufacture a similar product, saying that they now have a version for the Hero:
http://www.clear-coat.com/product.php?productid=616&cat=51&page=1
While I was waiting for the InvisibleSHIELD to arrive, I managed to scratch quite noticeably to the right of the speaker outlet (i.e. the metal panel just above the screen). My fault, fair enough. However, I was a bit disappointed when I received the shield as this little metal panel around the speaker is the ONLY area that no protection was supplied for at all.
I figured that I was just going crazy - why leave such an obvious place unprotected? Looking back at zagg.com, it's actually reasonably clear from the picture of the Hero on their page so my fault for not researching properly.
Maybe the shield can't stick to the metal but it's a bit of a shame.... I also have an InvisibleSHIELD for my BlackBerry Bold and was quite impressed that in addition to the big chunks of shield for the larger areas like the back and screen, little bits of cover were supplied basically to make sure as much as possible of the whole body and frame is covered. It also seems a better fit than the Hero shield - adding to a previous comment, it's not quite as good a fit as I was hoping.
I also have the Zagg Invisble shield, but the metal parts are uncovered.
For me it is important to protect the whole phone. That's why I buy the full body. But they have left de metal parts uncovered! And that for $25
Ok so I got this today (surprised because it just mailed yesterday)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CDVZAH6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So as far as fitment goes, it fits perfect. It allows for the Spigen thin fit case to go on just fine. It covers all the areas of the screen. I am however not a fan that the camera does not have a cutout.
Secondly I am most definitely not a fan of the dot matrix on the display. It doesn't detract from the screen when on but it definitely is noticeable when off.
Third, touch sensitivity is definitely inhibited in the bottom right corner of the protector (hitting return or smilies). Also, it's hard to bring up Samsung Pay easy pay feature as well.
Fourth, when typing there is a slight sound of the protector hitting the screen (I don't think there is adhesive on the screen part and only on the black areas).
I really had high hopes for this protector but overall I'm a bit meh with it. I want just glassglass, clear no dot matrix and adheres. I might try a regular just part of the flat glass.
EDIT
After running the protector now for a couple of days I can honestly say I am going to get rid of this and based on other reviews out right now, go with a plastic protector.
I went out yesterday and it was a nice sunny day. I pulled my phone out and immediately saw the dot matrix display even with the phone on (and it actually made it a little more difficult to see things).
EDIT 4/4/16
I got the new updated version of the protector. They have done some things to try and improve it and it is marginally better than before but the deractors are still there.
Touch issues still present in the bottom right and along bottom edge of the screen, dot matrix still there (albeit a lot less pronounced than before). It definitely is thinner than before (but still thick enough to notice when touching the home key.
All that aside, it is definitely one that I can deal with for a while until something else comes along
The search for something that fits continues!

Just got mine.. Got it installed & then immediately ripped the piece of **** right back off.. I can echo all the same negatives & then add that it is thick enough that it was difficult to get the fingerprint scanner to work. The adhesive is a sticker that is indeed placed just around the black parts. Also of note is that this DOES NOT contour to the screen. It is just blackened where you would otherwise see the halo effect.
Bummer. I had high hopes here. Guess I'm glad I never got a reply when I emailed them as per their instructions.

lol I never saw that deal till afterwards. I paid full price for mine.. I have requested a return on this thing. So not worth the money. the ones that dont give full coverage would be better.

Since I didn't pay for it, I'm going to leave it on until I can find a partial coverage one that works.
Just received mine too. Similar thoughts.
What I like:
- The ports and cutouts line up very well with the device.
- Screen is very smooth and feels much like the actual screen itself
- Did not degrade touch sensitivity for me. Sounds like this might be hit or miss, but for me I didn't notice any difference, I specifically tested corners and borders. ** After more use, I have noticed degraded touch sensitivity along the corners and lower portion of the screen
- Fairly thick, I prefer this but this is subjective
What wasn't so great:
- Dot pattern can be seen and is very noticeable. Not nearly as noticeable when the screen is on however.
- Adhesive only on the edges and bezel areas. Again, for mine it does not make any noises when I tap the screen but I also would prefer a screen protector that adheres to the entire screen.
- ** Decreased touch sensitivity
Overall assessment: A few minor issues but I'll definitely be keeping it on. For those who use the fingerprint reader, it may not be the best choice it makes just enough of a thickness difference to make the home button actuation feel different. I like the thickness however, and it actually matches the Samsung clear case very well.

Updated my review with thoughts on outside usage. This is not that great when trying to view your phone in sunlight.
check this one out, it dosent have any dot matrix

Let me know. I received one of the first "freebie" ones....ended up taking it off, as I couldn't deal with the dot matrix combined with the missed taps I was experiencing. Never got anything else about a new version, so I guess you're a lucky 2 time guinea-pig

I got the new updated version of the protector. They have done some things to try and improve it and it is marginally better than before but the detractors are still there.
Touch issues still present in the bottom right and along bottom edge of the screen, dot matrix still there (albeit a lot less pronounced than before). It definitely is thinner than before (but still thick enough to notice when touching the home key.
All that aside, it is definitely one that I can deal with for a while until something else comes along

Glad to hear it's better than it was. I've since moved to the S7 Edge. Unfortunately, seems nobody has been able to make a competent Tempered screen protector for that device lol.
So who is going to be the first to try it for the S8? If you do can you report in case compatibility as well?

too expensive!!!
I just ordered one. Will update you when I get it and try it.
Ok, I'm intrigued. Please do report back.
I'll be getting mine Friday for the S8+. I'll report once I get it installed.
this is the first time seeing a screen protector getting applied like this... wow. although it is expensive, I would still buy it if it works well.

Wow all this for a glass screen protector? Looks promising tho
Seems very interesting; subscribed!
Don't ship to the UK ?
Thanks OP. Ordered mine. I tried Zagg and Gadget Guard curved glasses (both insanely priced around $50) , and although they fit nicely, the touch sensitivity becomes inconsistent, making those screen just a source of frustration. I got rid of them within hrs. Hopefully this company figured out a solution

Yeah I am debating on getting it. I've been through 4 glass screen protectors already though and I'm hesitant to spend more at this point. Right now I am running Illumishield maximum coverage aquashield with a commuter and its working out very well.
I ordered one and will be here tomorrow. My concern is how do you remove it if you want to replace it? That glue they use looks like Bondic. Bondic is a UV activated glue that hardens under the UV light and is incredibly strong. Before i apply it i need to find out what it is and if i can be easily removed if it breaks or gets all scratched up.

Very good point. Thanks for the info on the glue. According to the mfg, it can be removed., but the referenced scraping method would destroy the LCD glass.
"How can Bondic® be removed from smooth surfaces?
We recommend the use of scrapers. Giving the Bondic® a short, sharp shove from the side dislodges it cleanly from the base. Any remnants left behind can be easily removed with conventional cleaners."
They also mention using chemical agents. I've used acetone in the past to dislodge epoxy off my eyeglasses lenses, and it worked very well. It may be worth contacting them and ask more info.

When they mention scrapers, my assumption would be that they are referring to plastic tools/scrapers (think drywall spackle applicator). If this is the case, then you would need to be Hercules to damage Gorilla Glass with a plastic utensil.
If you have ever removed paint over spray from glass windows, then you'll understand my thinking. The paints sticks like glue, but one solid push in a single direction removes it fully with no residue.

After reading this, I may return mine when I get it tomorrow. Not sure I want to risk not being able to cleanly remove it. I usually keep my phones for about a year and then sell them and I don't want to not be able to easily remove this thing.

Just to clarify, I don't think that it's anywhere near this difficult. I was just responding to the post I quoted who was talking about damaging their screen because the company mentioned scrapers. The protector and all is residue is supposed to be able to be removed with nothing but force, and "household cleaners" if any residue remains.
Mine arrived today. Haven't opened it. Debating whether I want to apply it since my IQ Shield full body is already perfectly applied. May wait for more feedback or I might get really bored and just apply it.
You're struggles are over! I have been looking for the best screen protector for edge devices and I had to tell everyone. No more touch sensitivity issues, no pressing harder, no more bouncing screen, and no more popping off screen protectors. The Whitestone Dome Glass Screen protector is the best! I made an install tutorial because the worst part is installing it. It's complicated, but watch my video for tips and tricks and you will be an expert in no time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaNK59tMsBQ
Warning: As seen in the video at the 10:26 mark it is very important as a beginner that you make sure the surface is level (Use a physical bubble level and have business cards nearby) and leave the alignment bars (Plastic L Shapes) on during the curing process with the UV light, otherwise the screen protector may slide off of the phone. I was doing this for a friend at his house with the table he had, therefor as you saw at the 10:26 mark it began to slide away. Me doing so many installations I was use to this sort of thing happening, and quickly corrected the issue. I find the alignment bars to get in my way when moving the screen to the most case friendly position. However when I started out I did use these alignment bars, think of them as training wheels. Just be sure when you manually align the screen protector that the alignment bars are not lifting out of their 3 bumps and that they are not lifting your screen. Make sure your surface is level otherwise the adhesive could pour over the edges of the phone. Business cards help immensely, along with not working on installation in the middle of a 2 piece table.
Review
Before I continue please keep the "It's too expensive" posts out of here. Other glass screen protectors, Otterbox, Zagg, ect are the same price. You are paying $45 to protect a $800+ phone. Insurance is a $200 deductible. So it's not expensive compared to paying a deductible. You also get an added bonus... The UV light can be used by women or given to women as a gift to dry their nails. Oh you're a guy and have no use for it? Ever had a car windshield chip?
You can get a repair kit and use the UV light to dry the resin, ever paint? UV light to dry the paint, UV light to dry glue, UV light to tan your wedding ring finger... Just kidding don't do that last one. Anyway now that I got that out of the way I came from a S7 Edge and my struggles to find the perfect screen protector were very difficult. I am extremely OCD with my phones and worried so much about cracking the screen. I used the Otterbox Defender after trying screen protector, after screen protector, and after getting frustrated with the touch screen sensitivity issues with the Otterbox Defender due to the built in plastic screen protector and dealing with dirt and easy scratches, I went back to my Note 4. Then the S8 came out and I again attempted to go to an edge phone, and after purchasing the Whitestone screen protector I will say it's made the phone feel just like I never had a screen protector at all. I no longer have a screen protector that for some silly reason only had glue around the edges which made the protector springy/bouncy on every touch. Not to mention that most times the protector would pop off due to lack of glue. This isn't a problem with the Whitestone due to the fully adhesive protector. There's no touch screen sensitivity issues and it feels like I am touching a naked screen. Plus my edge features actually work.
Q&A
Q: What cases work with it?
A: Otterbox Symmetry and Commuter, defenders do not work. I haven't had any other case tests, I am about to purchase the Mophie battery case and test it out. If you have any cases that work well, please let me know so I can get a compatibility list going
Confirmed List
Commuter
Symmetry
UAG
https://youtu.be/sScL3ZyGTgI
Q: Can I put a case on after installation?
A: No you need to wait 24 hours for curing.
Q: Can I use the phone after installation?
A: You will need to wait 1 hour.
Q: How long should I set aside time for install?
A: If you have never done it be prepared for around 1 hour plus the 1 hour wait after before you can use your phone
Q: Do you know if there is a warranty on the product?
A: I'm not sure, I couldn't find anywhere on there for warranty info. I know I received a cracked one and ended up having to purchase another one, file a claim on Amazon, and send the cracked one back.
Here's a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:

Sorry can't edit previous post.
Install done.....successful! The biggest part is applying the epoxy, it is very thin, almost like water. Slowly loosening the cap on the epoxy tube and leveling the puddle is crucial to success. So do it slowly and use cards to level the puddle before releasing the remainder of the ep oxy. Then make sure it flows to the entire screen and you are golden. This video with tips is golden.

Hello TheGame7, this is Whitestone.
Thank you so much for taking interest in our product and making such detailed instructional video for installing the Dome glass! Your video was exceptional, the tips and tricks you covered were very clear and precise. We were pleasantly surprised. As you mentioned in the video, we have made modifications to our installing procedure and the tools as well since the initial launch. The only thing we would like to point out is that you should NOT remove the align bars (the plastic things) before curing the adhesive. Experienced people such as yourself will have no problem manually aligning the glass, but some people may panic or completely butcher the installation if they see the glass slipping away. Also, if the glass moves towards the speaker, the adhesive may flow into the speaker or buttons (if applicable). It will not damage or break the device, but it could result in discomfort while using the device.
If you have any questions or feedback that you would like to give us please do so!
Thank you
P.S. We apologize for not being able to directly link our Facebook page. We have just started using xda to communicate with the public and we cannot post external links at this moment.

Wow I can say I am pleasantly surprised. I didn't think that I would catch the attention of Whitestone themselves. Absolutely brilliant idea with the screen protector I must say! I really appreciate the positive feedback and will make note of your feedback in the topic and video! I do typically remove the alignment bars pre-cure as they get in my way for aligning below the camera. They tend to lift up and sometimes lift the screen protector up while I adjust towards the edge of the camera. My video is the perfect example of making sure you have a level surface and I will make a note in the video and in this topic that newer purchasers of Whitestone will want to have a physical bubble level nearby to complete the task or potentially have level issues as shown in the video or to be sure and keep the alignment bars installed and make sure to keep an eye on the edges for any possible lifting.
@Whitestone Dome Glass
Will there be replacement screen sets be available in the future? So glass, loca glue, alcohol pads and microfiber cloth? Since the curing light and rigg are re-useable it could means easy replacement at much lower cost.

Since the replacement kit is only 5$ cheaper than a new kit (on amazon) it might be easier to buy a complete kit and sell the uv light to a woman who wants to use it for her nails.
The replacement kit should not cost more than about 10$, imho

To anyone wanting to know the Mophie S8 and S8+ cases work great with this screen protector! I'll make a review video soon for it. The top of the case separates and you slide your phone in (no more plopping it in and out of a case hoping it doesn't touch the screen protector) then you slide the top down and it fits perfect. It's a 3300 MAH battery pack and from 25% with the phone on, it got me to 90% while I was using the phone. It also feels like it matches with the curvature of the phone. I recommend trying it out in store, as it is a bit heavier, but no where near as heavy as a ZeroLemon 10,000 MAH battery I had for the Note 4. Attached are some screenshots with the case and screen protector. Oh the speaker redirect to front is really nice too!
Here's a review of the Mophie case with the Whitestone:
Hi
I've bought one, but I mixed two align bars and now I don't know which align bar is for top and which is for the bottom. They are a little different. as you can see in pictures one has a small sticker attached to it at 45 degree angle while in the other one it is attached straight.
can anyone help to place these correctly?
If fitting this goes horribly wrong, or if the protector gets damaged in an accident later, how easy is it to remove it again after the glue has cured and will any residue be left on the screen?

Look at this video, this will answer your questions, it's very clear
It does seem to stick very well to your phone so that's good, I hate the usual (crappy) tempered glass protectors that only have glue on the sides... 1 "wrong" case and *pop* there it goes :/

do you mind sharing how's the alignment of your protector? mine doesn't seems to fit along with the case
I used to use these on my old 1+1 as they often have them on offer which makes them one of the cheapest and decent protectors.
Had a 90% off code (Take90) through today so thought I'd have a look if they have anything for the 1+5.
They only have a plastic film protector for the 1+5 showing in their site.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/OnePlus-5-Screen-Protectors-p/oneplus_5_screen_protector.htm#.WapXoiPTVnE
However when selecting that a Spartan glass option comes up at 29.99 (buy 2 with the code to work comes in at $6) the pair, which again is incredibly cheap.
I haven't ordered one yet to see if it's real or just a website error (shipping to the UK takes weeks and costs more than the protectors).
Wondering if anyone else has tried it stateside?
I may order them anyway, I seem to be amassing a collection of bits of sticky edged glass, so another one won't hurt.
I've ordered one. For a tenner I'll risk it. These used to be really good. Had one for my one plus one.

Taken the plunge too, will see how they fit, still looking for that perfect glass, thinking I will end up with just a decent TGSP and use my Fitbag for protection in pockets.

I've got a couple of these on order, although right now I'm fairly happy with my Nilkin/Otterbox combo gave up on the full 3.5D coverage ones, first one arrived broken, second one had debris already on the adhesive before lifting from the plastic.
Well mine has turned up today.
Compete utter sh#te..
It's about 3mm narrower than the screen (not the bezels the actual visible screen)
There's no borders but there's obviously the original screen exposed on the sides
I'm going to demand a refund.
Sorry if anyone else ordered one based on this thread. Very disappointed
Might be able to see the edge and how much is exposed on the right here.
Not the best quality photo, taken with my shield tablet..

Look like a similar cover to the Nilkin tbh. I'm happy with that as a solution, compared to the dark borders. The Otterbox case I use offers enough protection to the very outer edges due to the depth and my most likely damage would come from a more central hit/scratch.
I've received mine today and the result is similar I'm afraid.
I'll leave it on for a day or two but I reckon it'll come off since it doesn't cover the screen properly.
I really don't understand why it's this hard to make a screen protector that fits properly. Maybe OnePlus just gave the wrong measurements to all the OEMs?
In any case...
Pixel 2 out soon. Maybe that'll be an option.

You have to buy two products in order to get the code "Take90" to work
Same as Nilkin with an extra cutout for the ffc and proximity sensor. It's probably one of the best tgsp right now, full coverage units are currently all worse than this.
