I ordered 2 devices, one with dual screen, one without (I think the white is gorgeous and no white dual screen, so didn't bother). However, the dual screen one will be more for home use. So when the phones are "out and about" what case options are there? I have googled, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, but really only found clear rubber, which I already know from experience will discolor over time. How long til we get viable options for cases with such a new phone? I for sure need cases since these glass phones like to get up off surfaces. What's everyone else looking at?

That is true. I'll keep that one in mind. Ebay is full of ones from China. Um not in this climate right now lol. But before I can even start using the phones, I gotta have some sort of protection lol
So I ordered this case so I would have something to put on it until my dual screen case arrives. It was the only one that could be here this weekend. The screen protectors I ordered are a month out on Amazon. On ATT you get the phone, then register on LG site to get the dual screen case, 3-6 weeks delivery, sadness.

Coming from a G8, it's quite a bit heavier, and larger than I'm used to ATM lol not risking it. Have had in my possession 2 days and haven't even turned it on. Lol

Nice! I wrote IQ Shield to see if/when they have plans to release protectors for this device. "at this time we don't know if we'll release protection for this device" well boo on you IQ Shield. I've had them on every device since they went full curved screens (back to what, the V20? Altho that curve wasn't as severe as these latest devices, still a flat protector refused to stick) and actually dropped my G8 down a set of three concrete steps. Protector took every ding, and screen still flawless. Slap another one on and done. Glass protector would have shattered first step and screen on second and third lol

Tired out the new case. The side leave a gap between the glass protector. I might stick to the TPU case until something better.

I thought about waiting for the case, but just couldn't do it. I have never used a phone without a case, so it does feel kind of wierd, but I'll manage till Sunday, then the longer wait starts on the dual screen case. Why couldn't ATT bundle it with the phone like T-Mob? Ugh
I used to house my LG phones in cases made by TetDed. They are really just thin, molded shells covered with soft and grippy dead cow skin (real leather). Sadly, they didn't make a case for the G8 (either of them). I have emailed trying to convince them to make some for the V60.

Do you have bubbles under the protection? Do you see the protection or is your shield really invisible ?
For my first two devices I used Brando anti-glare protectors (shop.brando.com.hk) and was very happy. It was a couple of years ago though, so they may have changed since.
But whatever you do, don't buy Proporta!
Their protectors are too small for the screen of the TyTN, and when (on their recommendation) you return the protector they will not send you a replacement. And when you tell them how unhappy you are with the situation they just stop answering your emails.

If applied properly & very carefully, then there are no bubbles. I have none, and it's transparent.
I use exim screen protector. I can definitely recommend it to anyone.
i agree with tiatrop,
i use the exim SPUC screen protectors on all my devices.
you can peel them off and reapply them,
the instruction says you can even wash them, but i've yet to try it.
and any bubbles when putting them on, can easily be pushed out.
I agree with bamse, I've been using Brando for years, I did try another brand on my C500 a couple of years back, they didn't come up to scratch. I'm using on my herm, no probs no bubble (you need to spend a little time carefully applying).
Boxwave has some good screen protectors. I'm using their crystal clear on my 8525 now and had the anti-glare on my HP iPAQ.

I washed mine once. It fell on the carpet so you can imagine the things that got stuck there! Damaged the corner a little bit but it was completely reapplyable, and I managed to get all the dust out with scotch-tape. Hence my recommendation.
Wow, thank you all for you recommendations. I definitely check them out.
But is there a way to apply a SP, without having bubbles? What you mean exactly with "carefuly"?
Do you use credit cards for that? I red that credit cards for appling are an evil thing.
I guess it's tall order to say make a youtube tutorial, haha...

I actually had this on my previous 8525 that I had to send back for warranty replacement. It is a booger to put on..took me a good half hour to do it right. The cutout pcs are not all exactly perfect but fit good enough. I really like it. It held up very well, gave the phone a slick glossy finish and made for good traction when I would set my phone down on my center console in my truck.(previously if I tried that it would slide(actually fly) off the vinyl covered console if I hit the brakes too hard or turned a corner too fast... with the Shield on there it never slipped. I am going to order another one now for this warranty replacement as well..just been waiting to make sure this device didnt fail before installing another shield!

I've been using screen protectors for some time now on my previous and current PDA's and phones; HP has a nice system of protectors that have grids on the removable side to assist in visually getting the best fit. Would never use my 8525 without one... and yes, anything like an old credit card, cut to the right size, will work to get air bubbles out.
But thanks to this thread, I've now ordered the Bodyshield; if it's all it's claims to be, AND with a lifetime guarantee, it should be worth the $24.95.

It does not come with tools, but the instructions recommend a credit card. Note that this is re-applyable if U have bubbles on the 1st try.
So my 2 day old Note has a hairline scratch that is only visible with the screen off in the right light. I am told that if I get this screen protector it will more than likely hide the scratch, and obviously prevent new ones. I'm curious to hear if others have this and like it. I have never used a screen protector because I don't like the way they look and feel, but apparently this screen is very easily scratched, despite me only keeping it in my pocket by itself.

Yes the Zagg or any Zagg type screen protector will make any light scratch invisible. I was the guy who posted about a scratch . Anyways my Zagg came in like a day after it happened, I put it on and I cant even see the scratch.

Yes it does and it kinda sucks, I always buy BSE skins (Best skins ever) but they only have the international version atm.
Have the Zagg Dry Invisi-Shield installed on mine, front and back protection, and both he dry and wet install shields leave little indented marks when you use the s-pen because they are soft. At first its barely noticeable but the little grooves build up over time. Just something to consider, depending on how much you use the s-pen.

I wish they would have just left the s pen off because I'm never going to use it. It should just be a smartphone, not even tablets come with stylist pens now days. Oh well, I'm still really enjoying the phone. Can't wait for ICS to come out and fix the stutter/non responsive bugs when flipping through home pages.

I went to Best Buy and and exchanged the phone for a new one because of the scratch and bought the InvisibleShield. I'm not crazy about the Orange Peel look, but it's better than the scratched screen look.
i have the shield on mine as well........after having the rocket for 5 months and not having a case nor a screen protector i had to get one for the notes awsome screen.
and the S-pen is Great. i use it for texting and everything. the write to text is pretty accurate and fast when you get used to it. my only gripe is that with the Zagg shield the pen does not flow quite as smoothly so it hickups here and there when not applying just the right amount of pressure.
I actually wish that it had the physical home button like the Intl version. I saw some neat tips and tricks -such as disable touch screen -which would be great for movies, etc -especially with children...
I went with the Rearth Ringbo screen cover. Cant comment since I ordered it this AM.

I just learned after buying the Invisible Shield that even though they offer a lifetime "free" replacement, it costs $4 for them to ship it to you and you have to pay to ship it back. In what world is that free?

I bought the Zagg tonight, installed it and thought I had it on perfect! Was all proud of myself. Went to go turn the screen on and all these rainbow colors and weird looking dots all over between the screen and shield! I was so pissed. I think I sprayed too much of their liquid on. I should have just paid Best Buy to install. What a waste of money. $22 down the drain.
bought some screen protectors on Amazon to get here Thursday and then 6x off of eBay. I don't care if I have to replace one a month. I'm not spending $20 anymore on one screen protector.
Zagg has also started making an HD version of there screen protector, this one does not give you the orange peel look like the old ones. Right now i think it is only for the Iphone but give it some time they will probity start making them all like that.
The verizon branded S8 screen protector is great quality, cheap and easy to install. (I purchased it for $26 on the VZW website)
All you have to do is clean up your phone real nice
Then set it inside of the guide piece that comes in the box.
Take off the plastic from the sticky side and set the screen protector on the guide.
Push down on the protector and take off the plastic from the upper side of the protector and BOOM you're done.
It fits in cases without lifting and doesn't cover any of the sensors.
The only complaint I would have is that you can see some dots in direct sunlight but that's a non-issue if you turn the brightness up or just don't be in direct sunlight
Let me know what you guys think. I recommend you try one for yourself. Looks better in person. sorry for the giant pics
If you have any questions about it let me know. Oh and there are no dead spots for touch and it responds no loss in sensitivity.
it is full adhesive on the entire protector? I just looked it up on my corporate Verizon site and it has a Samsung part number so I am pretty sure this is the official glass screen protector that samsung was rumored to be coming out with. I went ahead and ordered it since I get a discount. Part number for anybody interested :SAMDM1PKGSPBK

Apparently Verizon brands all their generic stuff similarly. The guy at the store told me they do the same for all brands. That being said this thing is more trash, screen sensitivity is worse than the GPEL I had on. Funny thing was right after install it was perfect and its slowly getting worse.

I got the Iluvvitt and ZAGG tempered glass. Both are basically crap. They are designed the exact same, with the adhesive only being on the edges. The result is a constant halo effect, and because there is a slight gap between the phone screen and the protector, you get a "rainbow effect" when you turn the phone at different angles. Same exact problem with all of the glass screen protectors and my LG V20.
Yeah the reviews for the verizon one are terrible. Is it the the curved display that has made it hard to make a good tempered glass protecter for S6, S7E, & S8?

From what I've seen, yes. For some reason they can't or just don't put adhesive on the whole protector, only the edges.

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.

Yeah I went for it as well.
Will see when they turn up.
If no good, it'll go with my collection..

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.

Looks like mine will be here in the next two days according to the tracking.
I'll update the thread with pictures when it does.
I just ordered and the discount code still worked. less than 7 bucks for two.

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.

XtremeGuard always sells complete and utter sh*t. Any company that has 90% sales once a month is lying to its customers and does not deserve my business.

Put mine on today after receiving yesterday.
Worst protector ever! Huge halo and cuts off a portion of screen like the million. Do not buy! I've already asked for refund.

So I wanted to get one but I don't have a credit card and shipping is 8 dollars!
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.
Hi all, been using OP phones for a while now, and since the 3, it has been really impossible to find a good glass screen protector worth the money, as we all well know.
I have then gave up on them and have decided to try a film type, since I take good care of my phones and really never drop them.
So I usually don't take the time to write about that, but really I feel like I should say good things about this one brand (first time using those "wet application" protectors, so the same may apply to other brands, I'm just happy with this one on first try).
First, they do free shipping anywhere in the world. The protector and small accessories come in a simple hard back enveloppe. I think that's good for us, as well as smart.
Second, and linked to the first point, they have a good customer support. My problem was that when entering my shipping address, I could not select Hong Kong as a "country". So I emailed them asking about this, and within a few hours, I had a nice reply and the customer rep had activated HK in the drop down.
Then the product itself.
It is not too hard to apply, really. Follow the steps and you'll be good. They recommand to wait 8-12 hours to turn on the phone again, but I need my phone as an alarm clock, so I waited like 2 hours and all is well. All in all, doing it in the evening, it took maybe 30 mins to install (with waiting to dry up a bit).
The film sticks well, even on the edges of the screen, and it is hard to tell it is there (well, under low angle light, you can notice a very slight "orange peel" effect). On the other hand, touch feeling is really as if there was nothing there.
I tested with the slim official OnePlus cases, as well as the official carbon bumper case, and no problem to notice at all. I also have a Spigen case, but I don't dare trying it, it looks like it "crawls" up a bit much on the edges of the screen. I expect that any slim cases, or those that are not too tight on the edges won't be a problem.
I also ordered one for my wife's S8+, and have installed it as well. Will post pictures this evening when she gets home and I can use her phone for pictures, so you can see how it looks. (for her, I took a full body coverage, and I'll post some pictures of that, so you can see how it goes, and how it looks on different phones).
So all in all, I liked the company attitude, the price (8 GBP for my screen only coverage for OP5, and 12 GBP for S8+), free delivery and of course the product itself.
Let me know if you have questions, I know I personnaly am always looking for info before trying those protectors. God knows I've wasted enough money on many useless ones :crying:
Edit :
have added pics so you can see how it looks (the slight orange peel effect), and also how it goes really fully to the edges
Woow it looks really good!

It does, yes.
I've been using that for a few days now and it's really hard to tell it's there.
Also something I noticed with usage is that it's very fingerprint resistant. Maybe better than the naked screen in that respect.
Can't really comment on long term durability but at least it's very good at the moment.
Having a discount of 25% today i took the risk and ordered it
Oh cool, hope it'll work for you as well as it does for me
I have a spigen case too, you sure you don't want to try it ahah?
is it like rhinoshield or is it like screen protector for scratching?

Nice! Thank you I'll see to buy this screen protector, nillkin's one is really too small, cutting the screen is annoying :crying:
Are we talking about the neo hybrid case? ;p

It's very exact fit lol, so the protector must be very well aligned. But the protector is so thin that it just stays under the lips of the case.

Yep
I personnaly have the rugged armor
Can't say about that one!
I ordered it long time ago. Haven't tried it yet. I have nilkin glass now. Since I want to protect whole screen and I have a otterbox case... I will apply film soon. Fingers crossed
Ordered one today, got tired of every single tempered glass protector that has adhesive only on the sides and lets the dust go under the screen.. Let's hope this is as good as advertised!
Yeah, let us know if it works well for you guys too
Ordered! Waiting on shipment
Mine arrived, pretty simple package but it made its way to Hamburg Germany without problems :laugh:
Will apply it when in clean surrounding ;p
