Screen Protectors for the Mi 5 Plus? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Accessories

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone has found any good screen protectors for their Mi 5 Plus, I'm looking for one and have no idea what ones are good/bad out there because I know with my Pixel 2 XL there are loads of really bad ones and a few good ones, some really good like the Whitestone Dome glass.
Unfortunately Whitestone don't sell protectors for this phone and I can't find any LOCA glue protectors anywhere, I am going to have a case on my phone so I need a protector that isn't full size rather a slightly smaller one. I also want it to be full adhesive without a dot matrix visible...
Any suggestions?

I got myself one from eBay. The Brand is Nillkin, they are very easy to setup and also saved my smartphone a couple of times.

Did anyone get the zagg tempered glass screen protector?

So far I've tried 5 different screen protectors and they've all been garbage. I want to try the Zagg one but don't really want to waste 40 bucks on something that's hard to return if it sucks.
Has anyone used it? Does it cover the screen properly?
No, it doesn't. I've got about 0.5 mm of uncovered AMOLED on each side.

Yeah i have one on right now and it's garbage

Thanks for the replies. Wonder if anyone is going to just make a damn glass screen protector that curves so it fits this screen. I'd spend a decent amount of money on that.

I voiced the same thought in another thread. Seems like that would solve quite a lot of TGSP problems considering more and more phones are being made with 2.5D glass.

Could you possible elaborate on which particular brands of screen protectors you got? You know, for research purposes
No, but I was there when my brother and his SO both put zaggs on their piXeL and they did end up with the slightly exposed screen on either side. Very very poor work by zagg. PeehPs even more troubling was that they each had multiple protectors simply not adhering at the edges, which was frustrating. They went to Verizon to complain and were given free exchanges since the verizon folks said lots of people (of all phone types) had been having these exact issue with the zaggs recently. Definitely not touching them myself.
[2-Pack] Google Pixel Screen Protector, Dmax Armor [Tempered Glass] 0.3mm 9H Hardness, Anti-Scratch, Anti-Fingerprint, Bubble Free, Ultra-clear - Noticeable screen on both sides of a perfectly centered protector.
Pixel intelliGLASS HD The Smarter Galaxy Glass Screen Protector by intelliARMOR To Guard Against Scratches and Drops. HD Clear With Max Touchscreen Accuracy. - Noticeable screen on both sides of a perfectly centered protector.
[2-Pack] Klearlook Google Pixel 9H [Scratch Proof & Ultra Clear] Tempered Glass Screen Protector - This was the closest to covering the whole screen, but still not quite. Might have just stuck with this one if I'd realized the others were gonna be worse. Still would have bugged me though.
Google Pixel Screen Protector, Fosmon 3 Pack [Full Screen Coverage | HD Crystal Clear] TPU Sticky Coating Screen Shield for Google Pixel - This is not a tempered glass protector. Because it's so thin it was impossible to get off it's adhesive covers without touching the sticky side, also impossible to get it down centered and without bubbles because it was too thin. But it did cover the entire screen properly.
Google Pixel Screen Protector (5")[2-Pack], ILLUMI AquaShield Full Coverage Screen Protector for Google Pixel HD Clear Anti-Bubble Film - I bought this one the other day but it has not arrived yet. Figured i'd give the wet apply one a try because I can at least center it and it should cover the whole screen. I'll have to see how it feels though.
I put on a wet-apply protector the other day and am quite happy with it. I went with the Skinomi MatteSkin.
I've used matte protectors before and never stayed with them. I'm finding I really like this one, though. It has a satin kind of look that goes well with the black leather skin and colored "G" logo (Slickwraps).

I haven't tried the zag, but I'm using the SuperShieldz and it's pretty good.

Are they any good screen protectors out there?

I've been reading all the threads in the forum after I brought my OP 5 yesterday (supposed to arrive to me in the next 2 weeks) and I cant find any solid recommendation.
There aren't any brands making screen protectors to our devices and even less reviews.
-I saw people saying to stay away from the original screen protector made by Oneplus due to the few millimeter lost cause by it.
-I looked on the Orzly screen protector and it looked quiet well but after searching the web I saw multitude negative reviews due lack of adhesiv, dot metrix and rainbows showing up on the screen. but some other who claims the protector is completely fine
In conclusion: In the Glass screen protectors section, there is no good product that will be fine with guarantee ?
If so, there is any other kind of screen protector (not glass one's) such as Skinomi or IQ Shield that are recommended?
I have to order any kind of screen protector as soon as possible before my device will arrive.
thanks for your professional support !
Every single option, glass or TPU, sucks. The best option is the non-glass protector that ships applied to the phone. Baby that one as long as you can.

I would agree with you, when it wouldn't collect more dust than a vacuum cleaner.

Still the best, even covered in 2" of lint lol
As much as the screen protectors suck, the Orzly is stil the best of the bunch. I have it installed with no rainbow effect in the middle. Again, I think this is a case of people who have the issues are the ones you see. It depends on how you install it I guess. I know a few others who have also installed it without the rainbow, but I know people who have installed it and have had the rainbow. At least it is a fully screen protector, that doesnt cut off a millimeter of the screen basically, and at least they aren't a company that blames the user for obvious issues with their TGSP *cough* Oneplus *cough*
Take it from someone who has been through 5+ different screen protectors... About the only one that was semi worth a damn was Orzly. You run into ones that don't fill the entire screen and leave the edges exposed, don't stick, cover the front camera or ones that just flat out don't end up sticking. I wish I didn't end up taking off the one that the OP5 came shipped with but oh well lesson learned. As I said as of right now the only semi decent one is Orzly but even that one I had issues with the glue towards the edges peeling so the screen wouldn't respond because the protector was coming off the screen a little. Still though - Orzly or Manufacturer screen that was originally on the one are your best options at this point.
I really like the IQ branded film protector. I've had no problems with it and I only really notice it when I swipe along the edges and feel the film.

I'm using the clear one. It's definitely not as smooth as glass but it's smooth enough. It's more smooth than a glass screen without a oleophobic coating. Fingerprint residue is minimal. The only case I have is the sandstone one from OnePlus and I have no problems with it.

Using the clear IQ protector here too. So far it's the best I've found. I've used the official TGSP, Orzly TGSP, and a couple other cheaper TGSPs. The wet application film screen protectors are the way to go for this phone it seems. Helps a lot with finger prints and I haven't had any issues with it not being slick enough.
think ill just go nude and use a thick case lol. haven't had any scratches on my s8+ which also has gorilla glass 5.
man do i hate how all phones have curved glass of some sort.
Damn those curves.. Let's hope that maybe in a few weeks we will finally get a proper screen protector.

I went and removed the factory installed protector, it was a bad idea. Now I have small hairline scratches on the bottom right corner. I've now ordered a tempered glass in Amazon to hide the scratches.
The one that came with the phone is fantastic imo. I haven't enjoyed tgsp since my nexus 6p because of the 2.5D curved glass craze, no tgsp fits any phone good anymore. Axon, Samsung (ROFL, you thought OUR screen was bad?) , I haven't looked at the screen protectors for the G6, but the screen doesn't appear to be 2.5d so that's a step in the right direction..
When my stock screen protector gets unusable, I'll buy the 30$ crash guard from rhinosheidl ?????? Just to see if the hype is real...
Unless someone already has photos of it....

No idea whatsoever, my stock screen protector from oneplus is still in fantastic shape, so I don't imagine ordering four a couple more months at least.
The ones for the oneplus 3 are 13 dollars on amazon, and ship with prime in the US.. So I imagine in a few weeks the price will become more better.
I've recently seen this on the taobao site. GOR branded TSP. I've used their flat ones on other phones and am quite satisfied with the performance. They have 2 versions, one with the black border, one with a edge sealant sort of thing. I'm planning to get the sealant version next month since my option to add items for cheap shipping is exhausted for July....
If anyone's in China or has bought one, some feedback would be appreciated.

Cases and tempered screen?

Hello,
I recently bought a Nokia 7 plus and as I don't want to break it, I'm searching for a case and a tempered screen to protect it.
Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere a tempered screen designed for the Nokia 7 plus. Moreover, Nokia doesn't even have official
cases for this model.
The only case that fits me is the Nokia 7 plus case cover frosted from NILLKIN, there is not much to choose from.
Where did you buy your tempered screen and case?
Thanks,
Try AliExpress.
Cause Nokia 7 plus Chinese version starts sell one month ago, there are bunches of cases and tempered screen on taobao (AliExpress).
Haven't found a good case / screen protector yet.
I just ordered the liquid nano screen protector stuff from Spigen - I know the liquid screen protector stuff is hotly debated, but according to many reviews it at least provides SOME protection - its obviously not going to be as good as a dedicated glass screen protector.
For cases, I'm still using the one it shipped with (in Germany) while I look for a high quality new one (cough SPIGEN cough..).
Keep us posted if you find a high quality nice case!

Hey zambda, about that Nillkin case for the Nokia 7 Plus, does it have raised bezels so that the screen is kind of protected when I lay the phone down on the front side?

No, it's on the same level as the glass. Only protects side and back. Not the top and bottom.
Screen protector is to small and not really protective.

I got the liquid screen protector from amazon.de as well. It came overnight! The one I got is actually also made by spigen.
Unfortunately the liquid is never going to be as good as an actual glass or plastic film you put over your screen, but it is definitely better than nothing. Just google (or search on amazon.de) "Spigen Liquid Nano".
I still have not, hwoever, found a good and pretty case that will ship to Germany at a reasonable time

As I said in the other post:
I got the Nillkin case from here: http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...plus-accessories/nillkin-nokia-7-plus-frosted
It took 10 days for delivery.
Case looks great, a pity it hides the Nokia logo on the back.
I buyed a brando tempered screen protector a got it. TRied to put the glass but at border at glass not fit right ( i think beacuse it litle curved a glass edges )...
just bought this today, and the units here in the Philippines do have the free transparent case. no screen protectors or tempered glass available, though
I posted some pictures of the Nillkin case in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/accessories/review-nillkin-super-frosted-shield-t3785439/post76411830#post76411830

I need Screen protector!!

My device is new but I know all the tempered glass protectors are awful for this phone and dropped fast from the screen...
Whitestone dome is expensive for me.. but it was worth it?
I want good screen protector please.. glass is not good for this phone? maybe I need clear protector or matte? silicone?
UV light is a good option or the liquid water scratch the screen?
Please advices!!
Search on AlieExpress for Liquid Tempered Glass for Galaxy S9. You can even choose Case friendly or normal type of glass. Price is around 10$.

I'm using the Whitestone. It is expensive but if you do it right it will be the only one you need for the life of the phone. I have one on my s9+ and on my note 8. If you but an 800€/$/£ phone there is no reason to cheap out on a screen protector and case.
this whitestone is good? but I read of users that have bubbles after a few days of use..
why so expensive? durable for drops?
how is the warranty?
Bought a few protectors from aliexpress for about 1.5€ each. Finally managed to apply the third one correctly and its absolutely great. Will definitely not protect against drops and shattering but they do their jobs against scratches.

You can use any other tempered glass with UV glue, just as whitestone and avoid buying the expensive one, just use loca glue and a cheap (but good) tempered glass, google "DIY tempered dome glass for S9".
I ordered the Whitestone and installed it.. amazing screen protector I ever used..
I use the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin. It is relatively thin.
I use Crocfol screen protectors since ages. They're a foil so they go around the edges of S8 and S9 perfectly. Work as good as a tempered glass protector. Spigen has a similar product.
They're long lasting, self-reparing, don't take anything away from screen sensitivity. A bit pricey, around 25€ for a set with 2x front 1x protector plus something they call "liquid glass" which you can apply directly on the screen to eradicate micro scratches and seal your screen again, but absolutely worth it. I applied the first set immediately after my S9 arrived half a year ago and still have it on without it coming off around the edges or getting dull from scratches.
I had an accident and dropped my S8 full speed on concrete out of hand height, all it got was a tiny crack on the backside (2mm maybe). So if you don't like glass protectors this might be a very good choice for you.
I ordered the Spigen Neoflex
skinomi this is my go to screen protector. works with any case and when u scratch it it comes back to the original shape, more like gel on top though you don't notice it. It has life time warranty, easy to apply and the price is decent. all those aliexpress , ebay screens dont make sens any more. i mean you spend a 500 600 on a phone and you wont spend 10- 20 for something decent at least.
I used this and it works just like WhiteStone at a lower cost. Liked it so much I purchased two just in case.

I've got the supacase unicorn beetle. Has good case protection, very light and built in screen protector. Couldn't ask for much more.
Hi I ordered this screen protector and it seems nice ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsun...var=442089289527&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 )
Search term : "s9 tempered case friendly full glue"
It's very glossy, not fingerprint resistance but it sticks very well to the glass, bubble free (except the red circled areas ), and absolute no problem with touch responsiveness (I enabled touch sensitivity).
Now it's been about a week installed so drop, scratch and water resistance testings are not done yet
Works good easy to install no Fuss. www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7M061/
I am really impressed with this $16 TGSP from Amazon, US.
[url]https://www.amazon.com/G-Color-Screen-Protector-Galaxy-S9/dp/B07MDBYBH3[/URL]
It is a full glue and was an easy install and feels better than the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector that are on my and the wife's Note 9s. It does not show grease from fingers, like the Whitestone, either.
I wish they made it for the Note 9.

Iphone Xs Max screen protector is usable on 3a XL

So, I ordered a case and a set of screen protectors on Ebay. But being so picky of not using my pixel without screen protection, I went shopping and found an iPhone Xs Max tempered glass screen protector for $3 at a local TJ Maxx, and what do you know, it almost fits completely there is a small gap, but this is just a temporary fix until I get the Pixel specific ones.
Edit:
It is actually the Xs Max screen protector.

Mind sharing a picture? I'm curious to see the small gap and if it might cover anything necessary to leave open on the 3a XL. Namely, if it's the kind of thing where I can hunt for an iPhone XS screen protector that happens to have a gap in necessary places it might work better.
I currently have a cheap Chinese one on the screen and it has pretty bad edge lift. I've got another couple coming tomorrow that I'll try, but if I can find a decent iPhone XS or similar that is actually good quality and fits... must be better than cheap Chinese crap until we get good options, right?

For three bucks, I don't mind the small, maybe 1-2mm space in top and bottom. The speaker grill is open. The only thing is that the front facing camera is below the screen protector, but I believe it's a fixed focus one so I don't think it will affect it at all.
There is a small part that looks like an air bubble at the bottom right side, which is my fault. I lifted the screen protector after it was on to reposition it and that is where I slipped my fingernail to lift it.

Yes. It does. But I don't mind. It's a temporary solution and camera shots look ok.

Thanks for this info. I went to TJ Maxx and got one of these screen protectors and it works well. The gaps don't bother me at all. The selfie camera works fine through the protector as well.....
That fits it very well, the gap isn't that much larger than the actual 3a xl screen protector I have on.
The small gap actually makes it case friendly, plus the screen protector is full glue so there is no air between it and the screen. That means no rainbow effect, and no dust in between.
