[Q] Any good screen protectors out there? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I'm looking for a good screen protector for the SIII mini. Do you guys have any recommendations?
I have bought this case to protect the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057793 , but I guess a good screen protector is always handy..
Thanks!
Sven

I've heard some good things about this http://www.amazon.co.uk/disGuard-Anti-Reflective-Screen-Protector-Samsung/dp/B009P493TQ/ref=tag_stp_s2_edpp_url brand of screen protector for a different device, but the front glass element is quite scratch resistant (Some places say it's Gorilla Glass, others that it's not). but I've tried scratching it with various metallic objects to no avail.
I think between that and the flip case, you're covered.

That's right no gorilla glass just a good scratchproof glass. You may not need a screen protector.

Thank you both!
Seen the price & the nice layout of the protector, I think I'll buy it anyways to be sure.. Worst case scenario, I could still throw it away if it's too ugly..
Sven

For those who are interested: as you can see on the attachment, the screen protector isn't as nice as shown on Amazon. It doesn't cover the whole front, however it's nice enough IMO..
The cover is matte, so it reduces visibility a bit. I don't have experience with matte protectors, but as I'm still able to use my phone at the lowest contrast, it's OK.
The protector is very easy to apply. It said on the packaging that all (small) bubbles should be gone after 2 days. Mine has 1 bubble, but as I look closely it's because of a very little hair.. Too bad that the bubble is 1mmx1mm for some dust of 0.1mm..

How about diamond screen protector? Is it available for s3 mini?. I saw my friend used it in his s2 and quite good. scratch proof.

Verizon G2 Tempered Glass and Diztronic Case Review

Ok I have purchased hohoo 9H Tempered Glass Screen Guard and 2 Diztronic Cases (Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case and Diztronic High Gloss Clear (Frosted Matte Inside) Flexible TPU Case)
First, the Hohoo Screen Protector...I had little trouble putting it on cause the Hohoo Screen Protector width size was exactly the size of the screen...so I spent a lot of time aligning it perfectly...but after I put it on the screen response with the protector on was good and the screen looked exactly the same as the screen without any protection. Just one thing that is bothering me is that on the top of the protector It doesnt stick well so it makes air gaps...If the air gaps were not big i will not care that much but right now it is coming down all the way to my front facing camera. when I press down on the gaps it decrease and as times goes by the gap gets bigger... I have contacted the seller and see if this is a defected product or not...so I will know pretty soon if i need to live with this or not. But in overall performance of this screen protector is really good in my opinion.
Second, the Diztronic Cases...With Hohoo Screen Protector the case fits really nicely. Its really slim case with good grip on the back. The matted black one was little bit more slippery feeling than the clear case. But the Matted black looks better than the clear one in my opinion.
All the cut out holes were perfectly aligned. This case will protect against everyday use scratches but if you drop the phone i dont think this case will protect it from saving your phone. Overall, if you want a slim case that doesnt any much bulk and protects every corner of your phone get it...if you think you will drop the phone get more bulkier case like otterbox or incipio dualpro.
I have order another Tempered glass protector called "SNP Glass Premium Tempered Glass"...It should be arriving soon so I have to see if that is better than Hohoo protector.
I have put links to the products that I have bought and some pictures.

the diztronic matte case looks really nice, probably gonna get that. Wish it didn't have the logo there but otherwise it is exactly what I want in a case for my G2. Had the Diztronic case for my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and it didn't have any logos, was hoping the logo was only there as a watermark in the Amazon photos but oh well, still want it.

It is a really good case compare to the options that there is for the verizon version. I really dont see any other that is slim as this case with decent protection. In my opinion...the logo looks not to bad....I thought about getting the poetic palette case...but it doesnt protect the bottom and the top so i skipped on that one.

I would like to know which glass screen protector is better. Please let us know. Thanks
Are you leaving the blue protector on the camera ring intentionally?
Is the Hohoo screen protector really tempered glass?
From here it lists it as PMMA.
http://www.amazon.com/Enhanced-Optical-Bulletproof-Protector-Optimus/dp/B00G46WQRE
PMMA is plexiglass.

No. I dont think it is glass...cause I think they are made by using PMMA. Its basically acrylic.
and it doesnt quite feel like glass, but close though. I might be wrong but i think this is a film that has 9h hardness made with PMMA, but with all the characteristic as the tempered glass. Im using it so far and had really no problem on the sensitivity or visual. The screen protector doesnt get scratches and it feel so much better than the cheap screen protector films.
One problem for me is that my screen protector's top part of the film was keep having gaps...so I emailed the seller...and they told me they are going to ship me a new one. In my opinion if you want to get a characteristic as tempered glass protector with less money go for this screen protector. If you want the real tempered glass screen protector then this is not for you.
I still havent received the other tempered glass protector...so until that comes im going to leave this protector on.

I left mine on. I have a Incipio Blue Feather case, and it kinda matches. It also protects.
I even have the plastic stickers still on over my back buttons. They never came off and don't interfere. so why not?
I'm getting interested in some glass SP. I have a cheap Verizon one on there now and its ok. I've seen the ones with the colored (white/black) edges that cover up the logos, which looks REALLY good. Basically looks like a whole new bevel. Have you tried those?
I'm currently looking for some comparisons. I know our screens are hard because of the tapered edges.

Ok the ones with the colored edges tempered glass protector...Well I had that kind of screen protector for my verizon galaxy nexus. The makers were from xgear...and I really didnt like it since it cracked so easily after little bump to the edge of the screen protector...so if you are thinking of buying xgear's tempered glass...i really dont recommend it. (http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/fantom) <-- This is what I have bought...They claim it is 8H harden protector...but in my case it was really looked really weak tempered glass. It covered the whole surface of the phone but it crack easily. I had two of the same tempered glass (one black and one white) and both crack easily.
I saw this --> (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LG-G2-T...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item4aca615c3b) on ebay...and was going to try it out if neither of the two tempered glass protector didnt work out for me. But only one came but it didnt fail me yet so no need to buy it right now.
But you have to think though if the screen protector is covering the whole screen you have to get a case that doesnt interfere with the screen protector. So back when I was using verizon galaxy nexus, I used cases like the poetic palette case, which has really minimum protector for the phone.
In my opinion...I really dont recommend xgears tempered glass protectors...I think they are really weak made...I personally recommend the Korean brands...or if spigen's tempered glass protectors if they make it.

Anyone a clue which is the best screen-protection for HTC? And where to get it?

It depends on what you want for your screen protector.
There are many options, from your basic cheap clear screen protector to your expensive InvisibleShields. There isn't a "best" option, but it just depends on how you want the screen to feel.
- Spigen makes an excellent anti-fingerprint protector. It's a matte finish to cut down on fingerprints and smudges but also doesn't terribly distort your screen like a cheaper matte protector will.
- XtremeGuard is a nice alternative to InvisibleShield for full body protection. Although it's made of a tough material, you may not like the added friction to the screen. It is a wet-apply protector which can cause issues if you are not comfortable with putting on screen protectors.
- Tempered glass protectors are nice to keep a smooth feel on the screen, and resist scratches a bit better than a typical clear plastic protector will. Getting one with tapered or rounded edges is suggested as it will help resist cracks/chips over time, but of course it can still be damaged.
- Then you have basic clear screen protectors. You can go cheap, with random brands on Amazon, or you can go slightly more expensive like a Spigen Ultra Crystal. The cheap ones are generally fine, but can scratch a little easier and sometimes give off a "rainbow" reflection when you view it from the side with the screen off.
If you're in the US, you can purchase any of them off Amazon.

[Review] Zerolemon Ultra Glass Armor 9H | Post All Reviews Here!!!

I have been asked by @ZEROLEMON_OFFICIAL to start a thread for the purpose of posting reviews of their Ultra Glass Armor 9H tempered glass screen protectors for the HTC M8.
***DO NOT START A SEPARATE THREAD FOR THE PURPOSE OF WRITING YOUR OWN REVIEW. ALL REVIEWS OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD GO IN THIS THREAD ONLY. ALL OTHERS WILL BE REMOVED BY THE MODERATION TEAM***
My review is as follows:
I received my tempered glass screen protector in the mail the other day. Everything was neatly packaged and included everything to install the screen protector. The wording of the instructions on how to install the screen protector was a bit confusing, but I've used a screen protector before so I knew how to install one. The only real issue I had was getting the protective film off the sticky side of the screen protector itself. The pull tab-style sticker came right off but the film itself remained, so I had to use a fingernail to pick at the edge of the film and then finally remove it. The screen protector went right on and looks great. I've only noticed a couple of issues, those being the screen protector seems to have a bit more glare than the actual screen of the phone, but I didn't find this to be an issue when viewing the phone in various lighting conditions. Also, it does seem to pick up dust fairly quickly. Overall, for the price you'd pay at an online store like Amazon, I don't think you'll find a better value tempered glass screen protector. Pick one up for yourself and see:good:
Amazon currently has them for $8.99.

Thanks for your feedback. The pull tab-style sticker should be able to stick on the film so the film will be easy to peel off. Maybe you are just unlucky, sorry. Below is the revised version of instruction which will be applied to the new batch.
1.Please wipe off all fingerprints and oil stains from the screen with the included alcohol swab. Wipe the screen with the included microfiber cloth for drying.
2.Place phone on flat surface with screen facing up. Peel the first plastic adhesive off and align the screen protector edge with the phone's edge.
3.Gently place the screen protector on the screen. The screen protector will automatically adhere to the surface of the screen.
4. If there are bubbles between the screen protector and the phone, please use a flat card to gently push out the bubbles to the edge of the phone.
5. Installation complete.
Those instructions are much better:good:
OMG INCREDIBLE!! Of all the shields I have had, this is surely my last from anyone. I am sticking to Zerolemon from now on. My other shields was fingerprint magnets, not this one. Easy to put on, and thinner than any other shield. Here is my 5 Star review from Amazon:
""I got the shield today, it was a snap to install. Thinner than my Chinese shield, and surprisingly almost fingerprint proof. The one thing I hated about my last shield was it attracted all my fingerprints. I always was cleaning it. But this one doesn't seem to even know my fingers even touched it. I can see the prints after heavy use, but so easy to clean, and barely visible, it is remarkable. This has got to be the best shield out there. And I have had one on all my phones. But now, this is probably going to be the only one I will have in the future. It's like touching the glass without any shield. Only con is that it seems to attract dust. But given that it is so invisible to the sight and touch a little POOF and no dust at all, I think it is static, because it is new, and will soon wear off. But if you need a shield, heck, YOU DO NEED A SHIELD!! This is the one to buy...""
This has attracted my attention. It is the best one I have ever had on any of my phones. (Now if you can make those camera lens covers from this material, I would be extremely happy) :laugh:
I received mine on Saturday. Beautiful packaging. The instructions where a bit on the small side, but its pretty self explanatory. The application went well enough, but keep in mind that this glass seems to be cut exactly the same size as the glass on the M8. So when you start to apply it make sure it starts exactly where it does on the phone. If you are even a little pulled away from the start of the glass on the opposite side of the glass it wont stick down because it will be slightly on the speaker grill. After getting that straightened out it looks incredible. For the price you cant go wrong.
Anyone who knows how to take care of a phone knows you need a screen protector.
Scratch proof glass just isn't after enough time has passed. But there's a reason manufacturers stick with glass for screens. It's tactile, your finger glides over it with silky precision. It gives the phone a solid and dependable touch to it. A solid reassurance. Most importantly, glass gives the best transmission of light from the underlying pixels so it makes the display look vibrant.
Then you have to slap some cheap plastic on top of it, This was far easy to apply to the phone. The glass and the phone join together like magic, after you have aliened it over the phone the two bond together, the Best part is there isn't a bubble beneath it, which I can't stand in plastic screens.
This is a revolutionary product. I love it. There are only a few cons to having this is an ever so slight increase in thickness in your phone. Plastic screen protectors are negligibly thick but glass has to be a bit thicker to be effective. Personally, I like the added thickness, modern phones are, to me, increasingly flimsy feeling. This gives it a bit more substance (My case still fits without issues as-well). I have also found 2 out of 4 corners are a little sharp and could of been slightly more rounded.
Overall this is one amazing screen protector and I look forward to showing it off on my phone.
How many taken part in this thread actually paid for theirs? Given that ZeroLemon were offering free units in return for reviews. It's hard to determine genuine positives from this thread. Has anyone compared this product to the others such as Nillkin (arguably best tempered screen protector), Mime, Zagg etc.

I have had the Nilkin on my M8, saved the screen when it fell on the floor when I was in the doctors office. But it was thicker, and always showed my fingerprints. This screen (Even though I didn't pay for it) is the best I have had. I have had tempered glass on my screens for a couple years, almost always the cheap ones from China that takes 6+ weeks to get here. This one is local and cost is similar, would I have bought it? I don't normally shop Amazon, so unless it was on eBay I probably would not, unless I seen it on someones device, or at least heard good news about it. I didn't even know that the glass resist fingerprints. Would I but another? Yep... I have already showed it to a friend, and she is going to get her M8 this weekend and order this shield. Because it is a lot better than the one on her M7. So even though you might think that the review is biased because it was free, it isn't. It is a good shield and not bad on the price either.... :good:
I got mine in the mail today.
1. It is awesome. It covers the entire glass portion of the front of the phone. Not just the active LCD area.
2. It is extremely smooth. This makes it feel as if it is not there.
3. It's oleophobic coating is superb. Haven't seen a single finger print.
4. It is extremely clear, I cannot tell it is there.
5. I have it paired with the Otter box symmetry case and feel as if my phone has the ultimate protection.
6. The only draw back was during the installation I kept getting a raised corner. This was because Tue glass is cut to very small tolerances and matches the M8's screen perfectly. I had to slow down and focus on what I was doing.
All in all I am pretty happy with it and will be buying a second one to keep as a backup. I see this protector lasting the life of phone and keeping the resale value in since the screen will be in perfect condition whenever it is peeled off.

I understand your concern. We are sending free samples in exchange for an honest review. We do not send samples to everyone, only legit users. You guys are welcome to compare our screen protector with other brands.
I have received my tempered glass protector from Zerolemon. Before I start I'll say that it was sent for review on condition that I review it. They told me to make an honest review, and never set any guidelines which leaves me to do and say whatever I'd like. I am in no way obliged to give a good review as they have nothing on me and have not told me otherwise.
The protector arrived in excellent, eco-friendly packaging that was simplistic yet effective in explaining what the product is and how to install it. Right away I could tell that the glass protector was of good quality and not simply a Chinese knock-off. I have used dozens of protectors including Spigen's $40.00 Nano slim, and this is comparable, if not better given the price.
The protector installed without a hassle, and aligned IDENTICALLY with my screen. The cut-out is perfect unlike other protectors, and offers maximum coverage with no exposed areas of the screen.
Included in the package are an anti-bacterial wipe and cloth to make sure you screen is very clean before installation. Once done, you take off the back film from the glass protector and simply let it adhere to the screen of your M8.
Again, this review was is in no way dictated by ZeroLemon, and I could of written anything I wanted. In fact, I already had another tempered glass protector installed so I didn't even need a 'free sample'.
I give this product a 10/10 simply because it's of top quality, and for the price, you cannot beat it.
I have recently received an ultra glass 9h tempered glass screen protector from zerolemon about a week ago. Upon first glance the packaging is well put together with the screen protector placed securely inside. The packaging comes with the tempered glass protector, a microfiber cloth, and an alcohol wipe to clean the screen off. The directions can be kind of confusing if you have never applied a screen protector or a glass screen protector before as they seem to be worded weird. If you apply to protector properly it looks extremely nice and feels as if there were no protector on it. The one thing I do not like about this glass protector is that it is a little on the thick side. With a case on the phone thou you don’t really notice how thick it is, but I do not use a case so I can feel the thickness of the protector. Without the case I need to be more careful when I put it and pull it out of my pocket to make sure that it doesn’t peel off or catch on the inside of my pocket. I have also noticed that this protector can have a little bit of glare in direct sunlight or light unlike the screen with no protector on it but it’s not that bad. All in all this a fantastic screen protector and for $8.99 you can’t really beat the price for any other screen protector, especially a glass protector. I would recommend this protector to anyone who wants to get a glass protector and give it shot!

Real World Use - PASS!!!
Ok, i was normally running naked since i've had my m8 and got a .10 cent chine film screen protector for a while but it fell off on one of my trips to the beach. I contacted zerolemon to inquire upon the free product.
Fast forward a week and i got it 3 days ago. Putting it on was a snap, its very precise with its cuts. My crappy chinese case was very close to not fitting but it did with a little adjusting.
Now yesterday at santa cruz my girlfriend put our phones on trunk lid area while we grabbed our stuff. She grabbed her phone and we started closing the lid and foolishly we slammed the trunk 2 times. i eventually notices my phone and immediately freaked out, but fortunately the only cracks was 3 in diff areas, and my actual screen was unharmed. If it wasn't for this product i would have a cracked phone right now and im still rocking my slightly cracked glass armor until i order a new one soon.
I'm giving this screen 10/10 across everything just for saving my ass. I highly reccomend this screen
Now that is a test I don't want to try. LoL

Just place cards, not really phony. If you wanted to test it out free, then you need to review it, good or bad. But so we was ask to post a temp review on there till we get the screen and check it out. Once it is checked out, the tester can go back and edit his review to show what he/she feels about it.

Unbelievable. A "temp" review? Why not let people review the item after they actually use it, instead of telling people to leave 5 star reviews for an item they don't even have yet?

Recommended screen protector?

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Thee one and only,,,,but more importantly expensive whitestone dome screen protector is probably the most I've heard of working...45 to 50 dollars tho
Any you can recommend about $20 and under?
First I tried the Spigen NeoFlex film screen protectors and they are garbage. Then I ordered a cheapo full cover tempered glass screen protector from eBay and it works great.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Full-Cov...ector-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-/332345555824
I've only been using it for about a week so I can't say how well it will keep dust out. Sensitivity is great, I don't notice it's on at all. It's not Anti-glare or Anti-fingerprint but it's only $8.
I'm using the i-blason tempered glass.
Under $20, it's still on, doesn't interfere with the screen.
It's still going to collect fingerprints and smudges due to the oils in our skin, but it wipes off easily.

There are plenty of discussions under the accessories section
But I'd say don't bother. I had one tempered glass protector on for an hour before it annoyed me too much and I removed it! Destroys the feel and use of the phone.
I have been buying the RhinoShield stuff for my stuff and its held up really well for me.
rhinoshield.io is where you'll find it.. (I havn't logged in long enough that I forgot my account info :/ )
edit: found my login info so now I can add the link:
https://rhinoshield.io/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8
Plus, nobody else's stuff has any evidence that even suggests it actually works.
I havn't tried it for the note8 but I came by this thread while I was researching if anyone had so figure I'd mention it. It is expensive to get the whole kit (screen protector, bumper, and in this case rear glass protector), but I found it worth it..
I have a cheapo '2.5D' glass and its doing well. Touch response is worse mind.
There is a speaker hole at the top; this needs covering with a bit of tape or you wil get dust between the screen and the protector.

I purchased a relatively inexpensive TG protector. While it exhibits many of the drawbacks of TG protectors that aren't full-adhesive (i.e. all of them except the Whitestone Dome), it doesn't have quite the "rainbow effect" that I've seen with other protectors.
Its real downside, though, is its slickness ... I need a more paper-like surface to better control the s-pen. Just the tiniest bit of friction would help. I'm thinking that I may have to go to a film protector rather than TG to get that, though. Does anyone else have this issue with TG protectors?

I just received an IQ Shield Matte screen protector and I'm really disappointed. It screws up the colors and whites have a rainbow effect to them. I took it off and now I'm looking for a new one. I'd like one that is:
1. Anti-glare
2. Anti-fingerprint
3. Clear and doesn't screw with this beautiful display.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Ever since the introduction of the edge curved screen (and I have owned the lot) I have never found a decent screen saver. It is a subject on every forum here on XDA and concerning all the Samsung edge models.
I have taken recommendations only to find them useless. Some use a glue, some have a dotted appearance after application some just suck period!
I used a partial screen saver once that just covered the centre of the screen but even that proved awful. Even used Samsungs own on the Note 7 and though that was not glass it also was horrible.
If any peer here does find a working screen protector PLEASE let us know.

Whitestone is the best.
I like the Spigen NeoFlex, it's been great so far for me. Went on easily, hasn't peeled off the corners/edge (and I use the Spigen Tough Armor case) and after the 12 hours to settle on the screen it looks great and writing on it with the s-pen feels good too. My personal opinion and the only one I've tried so far on my Note 8

Can the Whiitestone be removed once it's been glued to the Screen?
yes
I got the Bodyguardz glass protector sold to me at the AT&T store (lazy me). The guy installed it and it's ok. Glass protectors have an innate problem in that they sometimes don't transmit touches to the touchscreen itself. This one is no different but it does fit well. And it has a lifetime free replacement policy. I'll keep it to protect my screen.

Tempered Glass or Hydrogel screen protector

I've been thinking of getting something to protect my precious and the original plastic one has lots of scratches on it.
so Tempered glass or Hydrogel film?
I've been doing research on this question too. It's like a mixed reviews. But a commonly seen answer is that they regret getting the hydro gel version and stick to the conventional tempered glass as some buyers indicated after a few days, the edge came off peeling and trapping dust while some others has high static attracting dust and easily scratch.
I usually prefer Tempered glass.
Always glass, clarity and feel always superior to film.
A good brand would be Nillkin - I buy this off Ali express. The oleophobic coating is great and you can actually feel the smoothness difference vs a $2 cheapo glass protector.

I have bought it for multiple previous devices and am waiting for my Mate 10 glass delivery.
It is fragile though, have to be careful not to place it on the table face down with any sand or grit, it can scratch. Usually I have a case with a bit of a lip to protect it.
Obviously it can crack if you drop it also.

Anyone found a tempered glass protector that actually does not lift on the sides? Such a pity if one uses a glass that doesn't cover the whole display.. =(
Changed mine over to 9h yesterday. Just feels so much better than the plastic film.

What brand did you get and does it cover the whole screen?
Ozero 2 pack from Amazon. Not a bad glass. No rainbow on the screen just a little thick. Like someone else said it makes you feel like your pressing into a hole with the thicker glass. They should taper the protector around the navigation button to make it feel better. Yeah covers all the screen. Except the bottom of the navigation button.

Can you post some pictures of the screen protector installed? I'm looking to get a screen protector myself but they are a number of brands I dont know and no reviews for any of them yet.

Hi !
I agree with you. I've talked to the seller and the their Mate 10 Pro Amazing H+ should go on sale. I'm gonna get one.
My Mate 10 Pro hasn't arrived yet, I'm getting Moka brown color ^^ but for sure Nillkin is good

Already got mine more than a week ago. Bought off aliexpress.
Unfortunately this time the glass is ever so slightly less than the full width of the phone - my P9 Plus Nillkin glass was edge to edge of the screen. About 0.5mm less than each side of the screen. I suspect this is because the no side bezels makes it hard to extend the glass all the way to the sides otherwise it might be non compatible with cases.
Not too irritating but definitely noticeable. Small halo effect as usual.
But overall the smoothness and the oleophobic coating definitely trumps the factory plastic protector. Still worth the buy.

Today i tried KONIX glass protector, (i guess this is just a generic glass, packed into some brand - just like many of screen protector in the market)
Just like any other 2.5D glass protector, it wont be able to cover the screen edge
But it still fit quite well, and the touch response is unaffected, or even better than on plastic (included) one
Glass cut is nicely rounded without sharp edge though, so i think this one is well manufactured
Here's some pics

Thanks... Wanted to see the one that @Cccmachins has because I ended up ordering the same Ozero TP... Guess I'll have to wait till I get it to see and decide if that works or if I need to keep looking.
The ozero just has a black frame around it so it just hides the edges of the screen completely, so you are actually losing a tad bit of screen real estate. I also bought one on Amazon that does not have the frame like the ozero and the entire edge is lifted up all the way around my screen. I think I'd prefer the plastic ones and just replace them from time to time...

That sucks... The tempered glass screen protector manufacturers seem to have a hard time making them fit perfectly on these curve edge phones... It's either to small or not sticking on the edges...

Even the stock screen protector doesnt fully cover the edges. Is the nillkin tg the same or worse than the original SP in covering the side? Do you think the UAG plasma case is compatible with the nillkin tg?
i prefer this protector 9h tempered glass, it cover all the front, very clear also in sunlight, anti fingerprint. i buy it from local market, very satisfied

Hello friend, as a seller, we have talked to countless manufacturers to find the perfect screen protectors for our clients. As now phones screen bigger and bigger, resolution values are higher also. It is so necessary to get a high quality screen protector to protect the high valued smart phones. And the meanwhile, the screen protector cannot affect the touch sensitivity of phone screen , cannot decrease the brightness of the phone screen. So really it is not an easy solution.
Anyhow, we used to struggle which one is better? Tempered glass or hydrogel screen protector? Tempered glass is more thickness to 0.33mm, while hydrogel usually under 0.2mm, tempered glass cannot be full screen protector, while hydrogel can be full screen protector. Which is such a pity tempered glass cannot be full screen. Still except this flaw, other aspects is much much better than hydrogel protector. So we stick to tempered glass screen protector for Huawei Mate 10.
Here is what we prepare for our clients.
Flos®Huawei Mate 10 Transparent Full Protection Tempered Glass Screen Protector HD Anti-Scratch-[2 Pcs]
And we offer express shipping to Europe/USA within 1 week at 2usd shipping fees.
Also we are on Amazon for Europe.

You know,
Sometimes its hard to trust a manufacturer, who despite promise the fine quality of their product, yet still manage to slip a typo on their commercial material,
Your images misspelled "tempered" as "temepred" and it doesn't sound convincing at all for me :silly:
