Hey guys,
Thought I'd share my experience with this screen protector.
I've tried damn near all available on the market (tempered glass specifically) except the official OnePlus tempered glass. None were up to par. They all only have adhesive along the edges only which imo is a poor desicion. I see no plus to this.
The ones i tried all got dust under in a matter of days, and some even fell off completely after small drop tests.
Although this spigen is not a tgsp, it's is worth every penny. Application was easy, the wet application makes it to where alignment is 99 percent perfect. It covers at least all of the lighted display, of course it doesnt follow the 2.5d curve.
After application it took a couple hours to clear up any haziness that remained after squeegee/drying process. Don't apply too much pressure as I seem to have wrinkled a corner.
All in all, very satisfied with the product and will continue to buy after they get ugly...unless they make a perfect tgsp im the future.

It's pretty much the same as the one comes pre-installed on the device.
Hoe does this protector goes with dust? Not underneath, bit on top? The pre installed protector is a real dust catcher ...everything I get the phone out of my pocket I have to clean the screen from dust

Its far less of a dust/lint magnet. Id say 80 percent less attraction.
I just bought this protector as well, and installed it today.
It is exactly the same size as the pre-installed protector, which personally I like. That avoids issues with the curved screen, but is still large enough to protect the screen adequately when using a case. Of course the second benefit is that this is a case friendly screen protector. I have a cheap black TPU case similar to the spigen rugged armor, and they fit together without issue.
This is one of those healing/indestructible type protectors that have been around awhile, like an IQ Shield. I have used these on older devices, although I upgraded to TGSP on my last phone. I would have bought a TGSP for this phone, but apparently, the manufacturers have no clue what they're doing. I do like this type of protector. It is a wet application. This protector makes the screen appear slightly textured when viewed from extreme angles, but not much viewed straight on. I need to give it a full day to dry before I get too critical of it. The package came with two, and I'm likely to use these until a decent TGSP rolls around.

Yup, forgot to mention that. Still don't have any cosmetic problems with the film. Even the wrinkle I mentioned in the first post has corrected. I can actually see the film "heal" when I scratch it with my nail intentionally.
1 day followup: All the bubbles have disappeared. There is still very mild visible distortion that is present with every protector of this type. It doesn't bother me, but screen clarity perfectionists will probably complain. Again, its not a TGSP, but its great for what it is. No other issues.
Really waiting for it to get released in Europe.. So far only America, India as far as I can see. :/

You could go for the ultimate shield, which is basically the same type of screen protector.
Unlike the spigen it covers the whole front, I mean the area below the fingerprint scanner especially.
I don't know if there is any difference in thickness or coating.
The ultimate shield also has the same "orange skin effect" that was mentioned earlier in this thread, but u will barely see it when using your phone.
How's the scratch resistance on this one? I'm on my last Orzly TGSP, which lets in dust from ever side, I'm looking for alternatives that at least don't scratch.

After a quick clean an inspection i noticed one single micro scratch. This is since day before original post.
Just installed this today. Haze from the liquid went away within hours and so far so good!
There is an "orange peel effect" and it doesn't feel like glass but those are a given, and expected, so no points off for these two things.
It's much better than any tgsp that I've tried, simply due to the fact that it's edge to edge. I couldn't stand
1. The lack of adhesive on the sides
2. The sides being significantly cut off
The "wet install" allows for you to have a perfect install as well, as you can slide it around and adjust it perfectly, before finally setting it in place.
I'll see how it holds up over time and will update this post if anything unusual happens with it!
I will also try and get some pics soon (if I remember lol)
For those of you with this screen protector, how did you end up aligning it correctly? There's a small amount of space around each cutout and I found with my initial installation that while those were lined up, with the Rugged Armor case installed I had a small gap on the right side.
Amazon's instructions say to install with the case already on but Spigen's does not so thought I'd ask how others got theirs to line up correctly.
I installed one of these tonight. I did it with the Spigen case installed, and centered the protector on that. Waiting for it to cure and lose the bubbles. It didn't look that bad to start and 3 hours later it is looking better.
At this point I would pay a premium for flat glass! I just don't enjoy these phones like I used to without a nice perfect TGSP!

I removed the case and wiped it down with the cloth. I left it out of the case to dry / cure.

On the Spigen install video at install.spiegen.com for the case friendly S8, they show putting it on with the case on. That's what I did. Spigen calls it full coverage but compatible with Spigen case.
After installing it then removing the case for drying and curing, the bubbles disappeared after about 18 hours, but I have one piece of trash trapped. After putting the case back on, it seems compatible but the film goes out to the border of the Spigen case without touching it, except it barely touches on the bottom. It is a very close fit, I believe putting it on without the case would cause problems with alignment.
Overall not bad, it is easier to align the film with the case on. The touch feel is OK for me.

How about checking the Skinomi thread in this very first page of this section ?
I just orderded some screen protectors from ebay hong kong. 11.99 for 3. ill let you know how they work.
Good Screen Protector
Ordered one from Amazon made by Aurum(do a search). It came quickly and I am very happy with it, wished I waited a few days, they have a deal going on with it.
It says its made from Japanese PET, in my experience it is better than those "military" strength ones like Zagg etc(bad evo 4g experience). This one has a dry application and protected on both top and bottom by covers (a protector for the protector). Ships from the US.
I have the Skinomi. I'm happy with it, but it does not appear to help with glare or screen angles (though, honestly, I only used it for a few minutes before installing the protector).

Go with the Skinomi one. It's cheap (relatively if you consider lifetime free replacement) and if you don't botch the installation it looks fantastic. And... you don't have to wait three weeks for something to come from China.
Don't get me wrong, I buy stuff from China sometimes but only when I can't get it here or if it's a lot more money to get it from here.
Anyone have recommendations for screen protectors? Looking for helping with anti glare and no finger prints on it. Any info would be great. Thank for all the feedback so far.

The Skinomi one requires a WET application, that then has to dry, do you really want to spray some liquid on your new g-tab? I tried this on my Evo installation was a pain but then my fingers got stuck scrolling, so I learned my lesson and stick to the PET material which has a silicone coating for smooth movement
Aurum Screen Protector
You are right, I have the Aurum one from Amazon on my G-tablet, and there are no holes, but I do not see a difference in camera performance. The protector covers bezel to bezel. I've used the camera with and without the protector, all I know is that it is as grainy before as it was after the Aurum screen protector. I do not use the camera(I really do not need anyone getting scared looking at me) so it's fine by me, it the smoothness of movement that matters.
just my $0.02, but why not use the one by Zagg....?..

Thanks for the info, Traderny. Would you say that the Aurum screen protector allows for smoother gliding movements than the unprotected GTab screen? I'm hoping to find something that provides a nice swipe feel. Too often my fingers would "stick" to the naked screen or (less so, but still) the Skinomi protector.
My .2 cents

Wet application screen protectors have been around for a while and it has been shown to not be an issue if you follow the directions on installation. There are thousands of people that have used wet installation screen protectors here in the gTab forums that have reported no residual issues with the gTab during/after application.
Also, you don't spray liquid on the gTab, rather you're supposed to spray the liquid on both sides of the screen protector before application and dab up the excess liquid as you work it to the edges with the provided plastic card.
I've used both PET and this style of screen protectors on devices before and I prefer this over the PET as I have found the PET style protectors to be too shiny for my tastes.
Among the most helpful reviews for the PET protector on Amazon there are these comments:
1.) Good product, but a pain to put on. Just the slightest piece of dust will cause an air bubble.
2.) According to the packaging, this item is "Finger print free" and "Bubble free application". I experienced both. I would NEVER purchase this product again or recommend it.
Just goes to show you that people will find something to complain about no matter what the product is.
Protectors Protect
My experience with screen protectors on cell phones is that they are only good to protect the screen from damage. All of them will show fingerprints, smudges, grease and oil. This is esp. true with a touch screen. it's like wearing glasses you got to clean them alot. So save time money and headache by putting a microfiber cloth in the bag with your Gtab.
I went with the Exim anti-glare screen protectors, but did have to wait for shipping from China. I bought a complete skinomi skin set, and promptly botched the wet application of the screen protector, but since I wanted the anti-glare it just meant a week wait for the Chinese Air Mail which I had already ordered.
Overall I like the Exim, it was easy to install without any bubbles, though you might want to trim the corners a bit as its a very tight fit. I ended up cutting them off after applying it because I had the screen on perfectly without a single dust mote making a raised area. I don't mind a poorly cut corner, but do wish I had just done a quick trimming beforehand as I wasn't perfectly centered.
2 for $12.99... Was worth the wait.
Hey Naieve,
does it really help with the anti glare issue? Also does it have any issues with the touch screen interface? Is the screen protector to thick that it doesnt detect your finger movement on the screen? Any help on the finger print issues haha?
It helps some with the glare, definitely diffuses the light, but it looks more like a compromise in between a clear protector and some of the very heavy anti-glare screen protectors I've seen. I like it because of this actually. As to issues with the touch screen, I spent some time googling before buying, and while I forget where I read it the fact is there is no difference while using this protector. Even a light touch still works just fine. I wonder if that is the reason this AG protector diffuses less light, as I have heard of some AG protectors being too thick and screwing up touch. It does still show fingeprints, but its not that bad and is easy to clean. Definitely less noticeable than just the screen itself.

I said I would update once my Aurum arrived. Like others have mentioned, there is no cutout for the camera or sensor - I don't know what effect that has nor do I really care. I never use the camera anyway.
The protector itself fits perfectly on the screen - it is so perfect that I had trouble aligning it properly and i would get halfway done installing it and notice it was running off the side of the screen slightly.
It took a few minutes to install because I did want it to be perfect. Now that it is installed I am really happy with it. My fingers slide better across the screen and there are far less fingerprints. I am happy with my purchase.
iLLumiShield - PET Film - Front & Back - $13.95
"...perfect fit. Almost too close so you have to be pretty precise putting it on. Front and back. I've also been using a pen with it and no scratches except when my pen had a metal burr on it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
eBay "Explosion Proof" - 0.4mm Tempered Glass - Front - $10.95
"It feels nice when you put it on...I like the feel of it better than the normal screen. It was hard to install well for me but probably not as hard as I made it out to be. I had it perfect but removed it to get the thing from under it out and that is where things went wrong."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Armorz Stealth Extreme R - 0.4mm Tempered Glass - Front - $49.95
"...a bit on the pricey side but i love it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glass-M Premium - ???mm Tempered Glass - Front & Back (single pieces available) - $31.50
"I have Glass-M front+back for mine and I absolutely love it. (Removed factory ASF as well). My notes
* It is really smooth. Like freshly made toffee it is so smooth it feels faintly greasy (but it is not). On an almost completely flat table the phone will slowly slide across the surface by itself due to a slope you can't see (be careful)
* I believe touch sensitivity is improved. Finicky DPI sliders in Paranoid Android setups give me no trouble now - before jumping 239,243,241 when I really want 240 dpi exactly. Pencil also works perfectly as a stylus.
* I believe screen brightness and clarity are improved. Subjective and probably due to removal of the ASF (and its invisible tiny scratches)
* Extra glass makes the phone a bit thicker but also much stiffer and I liked this. I also have a Z1 and I miss how solid that phone felt in my hand. Ultra always felt a bit too flimsy (bendy). I also had to widen the slot on my DK30 (sandpaper glued to a flat stick aka big emory board)
* Getting alignment correct is tricky - glass-M slightly smaller than the phone screen edges. Mine went on crooked but I can live with that.
* No dust or bubbles in mine. Used the shower trick of old school film photographers. Long hot steamy shower will effectively clean the room of even tiny dust particles.
* Removing the ASF is a truly harrowing experience (see the other thread). Halfway through you *will* have an "Oh God what have I done" moment. Still totally worth it.
Hope my ramble helps someone. In summary really happy with the Glass-M."
Hey guys,
I'm getting to the point where I'm looking for a high quality, preferably tempered glass, screen protector. My ASF is getting more and more ****ed up day by day (I'm starting to see how bad it really is). I've done some research and found the screen protectors that appear early on in google's search results and through various XDA threads, but I'm curious what other people are using/have used.
I've decided to put this thread together so there can be a repository for screen protector information. This way people who want to protect their ZU from day 1 or those who are going to remove the ASF and cover the phone with something else can have a centralized place to get the information they need.
If you don't mind, please reply to this thread with information regarding the screen protector you are currently using or have used, what kind it is (PET, tempered glass, other), price, the link to purchase it, pictures (if possible), and what you thought of it/if you recommend it.
I'll update the thread (post 2) with the information as it comes in. Hopefully this can help everyone.

How can you tell if you would prefer to not have the ASF if you haven't removed it? Given the seemingly widespread issue of XZU breaking I'd be pretty leery of removing the ASF unless a very sturdy case was going on. I was tempted to try out a product from Armorz which I think was called Tech R(?) - it's 2 tempered glass pieces for back and front - but Iwasn't sure how much support this would give against twisting.
I'm intending to put on the Skinomi Techskin tonight before I go to bed as it's recommended to leave it for 5 hours or so to dry.

I know I'd prefer the ASF removed because of how it looks. It's beat up and scratched, and I've babied this thing. Plus, it's plastic. Glass > Plastic. It's not going to be any less sturdy without the ASF. It's not like a tiny 0.4 mm piece of plastic is going to provide any sturdiness. All it does is contain the glass fragments from flying anywhere if the screen were to break.Underneath the ASF is normal smartphone glass (don't know if it's Gorilla Glass or another brand).
Putting a tempered glass protector on it would definitely make it more sturdy. That's the point, it's tempered.

Atfolix is pretty decent quality. Just switched today.from.anti reflex to crystal clear. Anti reflex is nice when being outside in the sun, but it really weakens the quality of the screen,it looks quite blurry. And what is most annoying... Using pens and stuff on the anti reflex protector will basically lead to drawing on the screen protector.
Crystal clear is perfect.wouldn't notice it's there at all.
I've used atfolix on all of my phones and never had any problems. Very easy to apply, very scratch resistant.

So I put the Skinomi Techskin on. I have since removed it.
Impressions were thus: Applying the protector is simply a matter of misting the adhesive side of the film (liquid is supplied, I believe it's just water and surfactant), applying it to the device and waiting.
As far as optics goes I could not tell the difference between viewing the screen with it off or on the device after it had "cured" (Skinomi's word). Touching it felt like touching a layer of soft rubber that had a tiny bit of grip. I found it didn't impede me in any way but I prefer the feel of other screen protectors and of course no screen protector.
I had to remove it in any case as I got a speck of something underneath it that I couldn't remove but I think I would've removed it in any case due to the feel of it.

In about a month I'll come back and leave some details on the protector I just ordered off E-bay. Set me back $24, and goes by the name "Glass-M Curvy Border Tempered Glass Screen Protector".
I'm weary of E-bay and all it's anonymous vendors - but MIME/Ghost was out of stock and Bodyguardz doesn't have a glass protector for our device so E-bay it was!

There are some experiences with it and other protectors posted in these threads:

Here's what I posted back in March:
I applied Glass-M screen protectors on both the front and back of my phone yesterday, and have been very happy with it so far. It's added a little weight, but it feels sturdier and more premium than before, and looks better than the plastic screen protector I had previously. The touch is also a lot smoother than the plastic one, which was a bit rubbery. I installed mine on top of the ASF, both front and back, since I didn't want the "harrowing" experience of removing it. I feel like it's protected well enough to do without a case, though I may get a slim one to cover the edges of the phone as well. Highly recommended. :good:

I haven't changed my mind, and also got a Muvit Bimat case, which has been a perfect combination. It still looks new.
Hi Guys,
Since there is no good tempered glass or screen protector available for the S7(not edge), Spigen has one but that's way too expensive and I wasn't able to find an authentic one in the market. Has anyone tried protectors and skins by GadgetShieldz? Here's the link-
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
The plus is that if the product is as good as they are describing then it covers the sides too. The con is that there is no actual proof or hands on video regarding the same+it is still expensive atleast for me but there's no other alternative.
Thanks
I just ordered the matte and the ultra clear screen protectors. I didn't buy the body because I have a Rhinoshield bumper and back protector. I'll post a review once they arrive.
Good product the body shield is
Have been using the Gadgetshielz full body protector for 6 months now. It is quite good and the cuts are precise. Quite a lot of work, applying them is. Be patient after applying, in a week or so, the bubbles and wobbles will sort themselves out. Was hard to believe when I completed installation and saw what a mess it was.
That doesn't look like tempered glass. I will NEVER go back to the flimsy protectors. Too many issues with bubbles, etc. But, I have yet to find a tempered glass that full covers the edges. It's more of an issue when things are right at the edges (such as text) that makes it difficult to read, but I'll take that as it's rare knowing that I have a tempered glass protector on that does a better job of absorbing the shock of a drop.
Using their screen protector, with my rhinoshield bumper case and no bubble. Wanted glass first but all those that I bought, the case lifted them or they had the big halo, lifting all around cause the curve screen.

They are working way far better than the TGP.

Hi Guys,
Since there is no good tempered glass or screen protector available for the S7(not edge), Spigen has one but that's way too expensive and I wasn't able to find an authentic one in the market. Has anyone tried protectors and skins by GadgetShieldz? Here's the link-
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
The plus is that if the product is as good as they are describing then it covers the sides too. The con is that there is no actual proof or hands on video regarding the same+it is still expensive atleast for me but there's no other alternative.
Thanks

Thanks mate. I bought two and will report when it arrives
So, here's why review-
Finally ordered them. It was my first time that I was installing any sort of protector and I was super nervous. The protector kept coming off. I had to wet it with the solutions many times. I drove out the bubbles as many as I could but the end result was way too foggy and messy. But after 48 hours everything was gone, except few dust and fingerprints particles which are my fault BTW there's a huge particle of dust on the back button. Can I lift it up just a tad to remove it? I still have the solution, I am planning to wet it to reapply. Will it work?
Also can anyone suggest a good cover for S7? My current one is a chinese one, but I think it will remove the side protectors if I take the phone out few times because with the side protectors the sides bulge out a bit. @r3xx3r @ere1nion
Any way to get the same cover in India?

I searched for a month, ordered like 10 different tempered glasses from various websites but they all sucked. GS's protector is not a glass but it is the best alternative to a glass.
An out of context question, what are these four stripes/white lines located on the top and bottom side of the phone for? Just along the charger and speaker in the photos below-

Those plastic lines are antenna separators. The frame of the phone is used for different antennas, so they must be separated.

An update, I used my phone with the Samsung Gear VR yesterday and when I removed it the protector from the upper side of the phone, where the front camera is got removed I tried to paste the same but it is full of bubbles now . Is anyone else using GS's protector with VR?

Correct it is not. I use the Otterbox Commuter and Otterbox Defender so this is not an issue for me particularly. I had a partial screen protector on already so no shift in change for me there either. I just received mine in the mail today. The back application was by far harder than the front. I didn't get it perfect. It's the material used on the back. I will not be testing this screen protector but I feel confident with it on. Hopefully it will never need to prove itself.
So, my protector is screwed thanks to Gear VR, it kept on removing the upper part of the protector every time I put the phone in the Gear VR or took it out. Has anyone tried the so called buff guard(a type of tempered glass) which covers the whole screen even the edges? Is there any alternative for the GadgetShieldz protector?
My wife just upgraded to an S7 (tried the Moto Z and it was too big, bulky and heavy for her). She wanted a tempered glass screen protector, but not like the one I have (which doesn't cover the entire screen due to the curved edges of the S7).
After much research, I found the amFilm glass protector was one that was listed in many top-10 lists as being excellent. This covers the entire glass but gives room on the edges for cases. My wife has a Speck Candyshell case for her phone and the screen protector works fine with it. My only issue with it is that on the top and bottom (which is fully protected), it's colored. So you have to choose the correct color based on your phone (black or gold). I don't understand why it has to be colored. Why not make it all clear so you can see the actual color of the phone? But it DOES cover the entire screen unlike the earlier brands that came out. And it was very easy to apply and there are no bubbles at all. Touch response is excellent from what I could tell. I tested it and couldn't find any "soft" or "blind" spots that didn't react and I just lightly touched, so it was pretty good. I'll wait and see how it goes with my wife after she's had it for awhile. It also comes with a lifetime warranty for the purchased product. That means, and they state this in the documentation that comes with the protector, that the warranty does NOT apply to a warranty replacement item. So that means, if you've swapped out your initial purchase with a warranty item, you'll have to purchase a brand new screen protector to get a lifetime warranty again. That is pretty standard across most things like this, so I have no complaints.
Here is the gold colored one that I ordered and installed since she has a gold S7:

Thanks for such a detailed review. There are many protector glasses of that sort available in India, all of them are manufactured in china, but not the brand which you have mentioned. The reviews of the chinese one's is pathetic. So, I didn't go for them. Can you please check and confirm whether the phone fits fine in Gear Vr with the protector that you have installed or not?
This one, though its for the Edge model, looks tempting but I will wait for an early bird's review before ordering the one for the non-Edge version which should be available by tomorrow-
http://www.amazon.in/CEDO-Samsung-G...ems&ie=UTF8&qid=1489471980&sr=1-4&keywords=s7
So I received the 3D tempered glass yesterday and applied it.
Here are my thoughts:
It ships pretty quickly (at least in India) and comes in a nice box for safety.
The tempered glass is really nice to touch and feels solid and smooth.
All tools provided are really nice quality. Although, I was expecting an alcohol swab as well which wasn't included in the box.
Applying the screen protector is.. HARD. Only proceed if you're really experienced with applying one. I've applied over 20 protectors by now (I know it's not a lot, but hey!) and they were nothing compared to this one.
Before applying the TGP, make sure you wash your hands, switch on as many lights as possible, switch off the fan/reduce the AC blow as you don't wanna mess up with lint on your phone.
The amount of bubbles that come on the screen are just crazy. Thankfully they'll provided us with a squeegee which helps nicking the bubbles down. Keep in mind, it is a crazy task. I took approx 20 mins to remove all the bubbles. Hell! they were difficult to squeeze out.
Pro tip: Clean your TPU case thoroughly before applying the TGP otherwise the amount of dust which comes along is crazy! Trust me, I regret not cleaning it. Caused me to nick a small part of my glass which looks ugly now, but I think I can live with that.
I'd say the TGP is not the 'perfect' fit when you're trying to install it with the TPU case on. Otherwise, it looks and feels good with the case and a perfect fit when everything is done.
It does have thick borders. Nothing that'll make you go crazy. It'll cover a tiny bit of screen from all sides. So, in Chrome, I can't see the scrollbar after applying the TGP. At the bottom of the screen, it's a bit more curved which can lead to approx 0.1mm of text being cut off. Nothing major.
If you guys have any other questions, fire away!
Does the phone feel more thick?

Kinda, yes. It is glass so obviously it's going to add little weight and thickness to the phone.
I can say one thing, it's a million times better than the factory screen protector.
I had a lot of grief applying mine, gave up in the end and binned it, I followed none of the instructions above!
Oh and I had a hangover...so £20 down the toilet.

In what ways is it a "million times" better?
I also put it on my phone---I've done lots and lots of these before, including whitestone dome. The oneplus was quite tricky. I still ended up with two bubbles along the right side where the black border is. Won't even squeeze out. That sucks. Otherwise no complaints. Don't even notice it's on. I especially like the smoothness of the edges. Makes offscreen/edge gestures nice---no sharp edge.
Overall, I'm pretty "meh" on it. I'd love a dome but they said "not doing it".
why are the borders black? I mean, if they were transparent they wouldn't block anything from the screen. For me, the black boarders are a high design fail.

Not sure but it's mean to improve the 3D effect.
The only question I have for you is if you can apply mine for me? Haha I'm super OCD about the way my screen looks but I'm not very good at screen protectors...

Haha! I wish I could. I'll give you one advice though, don't apply the screen protector if you're super OCD about it. Reason? I got two bubbles pop in after 24 hours of applying. Granted that I just had to press on the screen again to make them disappear but the glue randomly comes off I guess? Also, it's **** hard to apply it for anyone.
I was surprised at how easy I found it to apply, maybe because I have messed up so many in the past!
I feels great, I love it. Tiny black border, but it doesn't bother me at all.
I just got mine in the mail and applied it as soon as I got home and washed my hands. Set everything out and set about putting it on. I've applied tons of protectors and skins. Tempered glass are my favorite to apply because of how easy they are. As others have said this one gave me a little tight, the glass is stiffer than anything I've worked with before. Or maybe it just feels that he way, but the free bubbles remaining absolutely required the squeegee tool to niggle them out. I've gotten them all out now and I love this protector. I dropped something on my standard protector like the week I bought the phone and it cracked the protector so I've been waiting for this to come.
It does add some thickness obviously, but it's not too bad. I have the fabric backed case and the sandstone case and it sits exactly at the edges of those cases.
As to the question of the black border, I'm trying to see if I can see anything missing and I can't tell yet. I've tried angling the phone and trying to look "under" the edges but couldn't see anything. I know with previous curved edge screens the border was there to hide the fact that it wouldn't fit exactly "flat" on the border. The black edge hid the halo ring, not sure if that's the case with this protector though since I've read they will be coming out with a full clear one, although I'm not a 100% on that source. I'll post pics shortly.
They may not be top quality all I had to take the photos with was my wife's tablet at the moment, but should give you an idea of what it looks like. Showed pics with both cases and naked.
i just got mine and finished applying it. It does take patience for sure, i had a ton of bubbles but patience, the microfiber, squeegee and fingernails and they are all worked out and it looks perfect. by far the best despite the small bit of loss from the black border.
My screen protector came like this. It seems like the adhesive was spread unevenly or something. I'm currently waiting for the response from OnePlus support.
I purchased and applied one as well (USA). It's by far the best one I've tried so far, but it's a downright awful screen protector as far as an OEM accessory goes.
Save your money for now, like most OnePlus stuff you'll need to wait a while for them to realize their mistakes and come out with a proper implementation.
The mounting process is by far one of the most difficult and involved I've ever experienced. The printed instructions are missing so much detail, but thankfully it directs you to a video. I followed the video as exactly as I could. The screen protector comes mounted to a very rigid "plate" of plastic and is firmly adhered to it. Removing it from this plate takes so much force that I was worried I would break the screen protector at times. Due to this it takes quite some time to remove it safely, which gave plenty of time for the adhesive side of the protector to be exposed to the open air for dust and debris to get in. The point of the usual flimsy plastic sheet on the adhesive side of most screen protectors is that you can fold it over and slowly peel it off as you apply the glass. OnePlus seems to have decided to re-engineer the application process for no apparent or advantageous reason, resulting in an inferior and flawed process.
Like OP said, there are so many bubbles to remove after the initial application. The black edges are there to conceal the fact that the protector cannot perfectly adhere to the curved edges of the device's screen. These imperfections bleed in air under the protector and hours after installing it I had to keep going back and working out bubbles.
For how much these things cost there are so many issues is laughable.
It comes packaged nicely...

It's probably due to how firmly glued the screen protector is to that plastic plate. The adhesive probably tore off while it was being removed.

I thought of that too. It wasn't an issue with the OnePlus 5T screen protector and sure as hell it shouldn't be an issue at all at that price. I'm hoping that OnePlus will step up in this situation.
I've seen gaps in the adhesive on other screen protectors before. The PureArc for my S9+ had it and that had a traditional backing

I bought one of these and some of the ones of Amazon the OEM was definitely disappointing the application process alone was horrendous..the ones on Amazon all have the same issue that the in display fp reader is almost non operable after a while...even though I have re-registered my print multiple times...for now I'm just gonna go screen protector less till better options become available.

Ultimate Shield Tempered 9H Glass screen protector
Hey guys, here is my review of the Ultimate Shield Tempered 9H Glass screen protector and I must say - I'm converted!!
Read on....(also see the attached pictures)
Contents:
- The tempered glass screen protector
- Screen cleaning cloth (wet)
- Dust stickers
- Microfiber cloth
Installation:
Be sure to do this in as dust-free environment as possible. I like the kitchen for this reason (no carpets for me there), or the bathroom works great too as you can use the steam from the shower to help any dust settle whilst you complete the install!
1. Using the wet cloth helps to give the screen a good clean removing any oily fingerprints and/or dirt.
2. The dry cloth dries the screen (don't worry, the wet cloth doesn't 'wet' it that much!) and the dust stickers are there to ensure any last little bits of dust aren't present.
You'll want to spend time on ensuring there are no little bits on your screen as this can spoil the look, at least to those who won't be able to stop noticing that little eyelash hair in the middle of the screen!
3. Carefully remove the protective layer of the screen protector, keeping the exposed glass side facing down. There is a slight adhesive, of some form, which any bit of dust/hair ending up there may be tricky to remove so make this step as swift as possible, taking extra care. Keep your thumbs/fingers away from that side of the glass to avoid any fingerprints getting stuck there, holding the protector by the side only.
4. Lower the screen protector towards your phone, but don't place it on quite yet. Really line up the protector, looking at it from directly above and I'd recommend using the camera cut out as the guide. Ensure the selfie-camera lines up nicely in the hole but also that the full length of the protector runs parallel to the phone.
5. Once you're happy with the alignment, place the protector on the screen, with the selfie-cam side down first, then slowly but firmly lowering the rest of the screen protector down. Or to say another way, press the top of the screen protector down and then press towards the lower end of the protector, until you reach the bottom speaker end.
6. Some bubbles may be trapped underneath the screen. Don't worry! Use your finger/thumbs to firmly yet carefully press out the bubbles, pressing it out toward's the edge of the screen. You can also wrap a credit card in the dry cloth, and use that as a way to force out some air bubbles.
If you're not happy with the alignment and/or have anything stuck under there, then it is possible to remove and reapply. Do this very carefully though, by using your nail to lift it up from the corner, taking extra care not to fingerprint that side of the protector. Use the dust sticker to remove any bits. Though again, be as quick as possible as whilst that side of the protector is exposed, more stuff might land there!
Impressions:
From being a long time user of the film screen protectors, those being 'wet installed' etc. I must say I have been converted! I did have my hesitations about using glass protection, as a while back I used one and it failed to impress me. Previously I had found this type of material, glass vs plastic film, would add a mirror-like reflection to the screen, even more so than the Gorilla Glass screen that the device already had. Also, with my love of AMOLED devices I found glass screen protectors would detract from the 'deep black' the screen would display, and make such colours more of a grey, which affected viewing pleasure.
But not with this one!!
Feel - I instantly fell in love with how this looked and felt. It has no loss of sensitivity and I have not felt the need to have to swipe harder or change the way I interact with the phone. It feels just as responsive as it did prior to installation!
Looks - There is no glare/mirroring effect and so as far as it's looks are concerned, it's practically invisible! The screen colours look as vibrant as they did before and blacks still look as deep as they did
Fit - As you can see I have this installed with this rugged case and it fits PERFECTLY. This case slightly lips over and so there is no dust being trapped around the edge of the screen protector. I'd presume it will also be compatible with other cases too, as it is full coverage, going right to the edges with it's own bezel, not just covering the screen.
I highly recommend the use of this screen protector, for the added peace of mind that the screen is further protected against scratches etc.
Any questions please do ask!
@cd993 thanks for the nice review. I also normally don't like the complete glas, but bought a similar one. I'm also quite happy with it except one thing which disturbs me a little bit. Mine has the black frame around it ( which is in itself not a problem) and this is taking away just a tiny bit from the screen (maybe half a millimeter on the left and right). Is it the same with your one ( from the pics it looks like it also has the black frame). That it take away a bit of the screen is only noticeable when using apps which really starting text completely on the left side ( like the netguard log for example )

Thanks for the review mate!! I've used US's products before and I think they're the best screen protector I've ever used.
Ordered mine 2 days ago and can't wait for it to be delivered, I miss the sensitivity and feel that those usually have.

Email them, perhaps they'd be willing to...
I have applied this protector too....
Always had phones without screenprotector because I hate them... It takes away the feel of the phone... Bubbels underneath glass etc etc.
Bought it because I saw some scratches on the screen coming.
So after this positive review gave it a try. But man I must say it's a great quality.
Applying is very easy off course look for dust... Becaue I had one.... Took it off which is very easy to do... Rinsed it off under water....
Take two was a succes.... Didn't dry it just putt it on the phone and wipe wipe wipe and a lot of patience....and rubbing. It was bubble free.
But glad I did it.... In fact I find the screen better looking.. Bit of 3d effect...
Fp and typing is as normal.
Only con its a bit heavy....
Don't compare this to a 5 dollar screenprotector which is also the reason why I hated them.

Is your screen protector from spigen?
thanks.
I'm using a chinese version but have some issues. The protector have some kind of bend and it causes a bubble impossible to remove just in the front camera. Because of that my front cam don't focus right.
That's the one:

@cd993 from the pictures you attached it seems the screen protector has real curved edges. Am I right or is just my impression? If you could add more pictures where we can see how curved are the edges without the case, I would appreciate.
I'm looking for a good screen protector that has curved edges so I can use a slim cover.
Currently I have a Cafele full screen protector (bought on AliExpress for 4 USD), which is good and has a nice feeling, looks very similar to this one, but it doesn't have curved edges and because of that it doesn't stick very well in the corners, if I use a slim case.
Thanks.

But can you tell me if you recall if the edges were really curved?

Hmm I remember then being curved yes, but no overly so.
Either way I certainly recommend it and fitted it great, as well as being case friendly, in my experience
