Looks very interesting. I wonder how well it works. I beginning to hate how my current screen protector is crinkled on the corners.

Its a replacement oleophobic coating. Oil and fingerprints. It wont protect from scratches.

When I first bought the phone I used it without a case for a short time and there were microscratches all around the front and back. I've never had a phone in recent years that scratches this easily. So I've used the spigen liquid both on the front and back and I haven't seen any new scratches for a while. Then I put a screen protector film both on the front and back to be sure.
So this liquid seemed to protect from microscratches, but don't expect it to protect your phone from anything more than that.

It would provide very minor scratch protection by refreshing your oleophobic coating and making it slick, but like you mentioned, it won't protect from a real scratch.
There are some ceramic clear coatings for automotive paint that would probably provide stronger scratch resistance, but I'll tell you right now, they are DAMN expensive. $70+ an oz.
If you just want to redo/refresh your oleophobic coating, there are cheaper ways. Fusso makes a coating kit for tablets that will last you the lifetime of your phone and probably your next 2 devices as well.

This has the same properties as the ceremic coatings I use for car detailing, it is more than just a coating. It will protect from scratches but understand it will wear off.

Did it cover or hide the previous micro scratches? I recently got a Google Pixel 2 XL and in less than a month i have numerous scratches on the bottom side of the screen, was thinking if this would be able to cover the previous scratches.

For those who have applied, any updates? (now that it a few months old by now)
I am thinking about using it.

I would like to hear any updates on this as well.

I've had this on my S8+ for a month and a half or so.
Applying the "screen protector" was super simple. You just wipe your screen off with one wipe and then apply the coating. All-in-all it took me a minute of application time and I gave it ten minutes to sit before I used the microfiber to wipe off the "excess".
The coating is very hydrophobic, which means basically nothing to me because I don't go around dumping liquids on my phone . It did nothing for my existing micro-scratches, I was hoping that it would fill them in at least a little bit but they're just as bad as they previously were. It seems to help prevent new ones, though. I treat my phone terribly (in and out of my pockets with no case or other screen protection) and I haven't noticed any new scratching since I applied the coating. With that being said, I'm not convinced that it would stand up to anything that would result in major scratching. If I were more concerned about the safety of my phone I would definitely be looking at getting a traditional screen protector or a good case.

Galaxy Note 2 - Wrapsol Review

Hey guys,
I've had my Mac protected with Wrapsol since i bought it in august. Had the film replaced once under warranty when i was replacing my hard drive. It's a great product, great warranty, and great customer service.
So on black Friday i Purchased my Note 2 as well as a Wrapsol for it. The second i tok the Note 2 ot of the box, i installed the wrapsol. Overall its great. I love it. I usually hate screen protectors. (Hate Zagg for yellowing and grip-ness, hate military shield for marks that are left with your nails, and hated the Moshi antiglare. All were on my S3).
This one i truly love. It was my second experience every with their "Dry application". (the mac is a wet application). Had zero bubbles in the front. Had 3 bubbles in the back that went away after a few hours. everything is protected. Your nails don't leave marks in it. and the film doesn't yellow over time. No marks left in it by the S-pen. No rainbow effect. Also IMO, Smooth as glass, not like the zagg shield. Also, no texture to it and no orange peel. They give you a life-time warranty. Even if you peeled it off yourself cause you installed it incorrectly.
The only thing i didn't like about it were the side protectors. They're a PITA to install, and the edges on them are annoying. so i took them off.
and best of all the film didn't lift when i installed my new Speck candyshell case. (awesome case, but gets scratched way to easily. )
Here are pictures:

Speck CandyShell after 20 hours of use. with a million scratches on it already.
Wow!..nice 1 there..really looks smooth & flawless..it also covers most of the screen,unlike most of sp out there..thabx for the review..& the case is really nice,xcept for the scratch-prone..
..sent from my Behemoth N7100..
Currently have Spigen Ultra-Oleophobic installed. I'm actually quite happy with it because my installation was good, and it is resisting fingerprints very well. But your review of Wrapsol had me want to try it. It seems that Wrapsol is much thicker and would provide better protection for the Note 2's large screen. The Ultra-Oleophonic does scratch a bit with the S-Pen, but it seems that I can wipe the scratches away.
Anyway, what do you think? Would you recommend a switch to Wrapsol? :laugh:

Completely agreed. Sp oleophonic does scratch a bit, not horrible but its there. I'm super careful where I put my phone, always in my front pocket by itself.
Please update this thread whether it produces scratches or not later.
How's this protector holding up? Anyone else have it on their Note2?

Did you get the ULTRA or the CLEAN version? I want to order it and am looking for one that will feel as close to the glass as possible.
I ordered the ultra last week off ebay for $16, I should get it by thursday, when I do, ill comment back with pictures

I've been beyond pleased with my SGP Oleophobic. The scratches have not been a problem. It would appear it's not really scratches because it can be wiped off and not permanent.

Have the JLG on mine and have been very happy, but ordered the Wrapsol protector as a back up since mine is getting a little scratched up.

I may just have to get one. The sound of "feels like glass" is really appealing.

[Q] Should I keep the plastic wrapping on my tablet as a screen protector?

Since my tablet is rather brand new, I decided not to remove the plastic wrapping that has 90% of the tablet covered up.
I managed to poke a few holes for my headphones jack, the USB socket for my USB cable to charge and move files around, and the last two slot holes for my keyboard dock.
I wanted to know if this is okay as an alternative to dirt-cheap screen protectors for finger smudges and small drips of water?
Below are some of the pictures:

And here's the many fingernail scratches the plastic wrapping had endured from my usages.
Why are all the screen protectors jerky and rubbery? Skinomi, ZAgg, fosmon. Anyone care to add one to the list. Go right ahead.
I honestly don't know what it is with screen protectors I've tried.
The one I had for the tf101 was fine. The fosmon for the n7 was OK.
Ive found just giving it a good rub down with a microfibre cloth is good. Skinning it is cool looking but kind of flaky. It already looks cool. A nice case or hopefully some decent screen protector will come alongalong but don't spend too much money on a screen protector cause I for me its been 3 strikes. Or maybe I'm not getting it.
So, the plastic wrapping that came with the tablet is good enough for the job? I shouldn't buy screen protectors?

The wrapping is crap mate. Peel it off. This device doesn't need a screen protector IMO.
I agree. Screen protectors are like wrapping that new comfy couch in plastic to protect it (uhuuuuu!) totally ruining your enjoyment of it! Tear the wrapper off and enjoy the gorgeous screen, get a microfiber cloth for the fingerprints - as long as you don't drag keys or screwdrivers across the glass nothing will happen to it.

Hm...
My last experience with a Corning Gorilla Glass without a screen protector for my HTC phone resulted me having multiple tiny scratches made with just my fingernails scratching the surface while I was scrolling up and down on a website. So this is why I'm a bit worried.
No! keep it on! Put the tablet back into its original packaging box after every usage for best protection too. Just joking.. Honestly, just go naked.. Enjoy your device at its best.
Ok, keeping it on. Thanks for your suggestion.

Boo.... Peel it off. Seriously it doesn't need it on
I have this fosmon screen protector. Was a set of 3 for about $8 I would have to agree naked is best but I decided to give the second fosmon a try after reading that some of the screen protectors have to cure or set before they harden. Not sure if this is the case after the hell I've been through with the first ones. This one is OK. Has some bubbles I didn't put it on properly but feels decent. I'm getting a replacemnet from Skinomi so ill be giving that another try then let you know. Then if it is rubbery does not cure or harden then ill put the 3rd fosmons on. But Naked is better. I actually kind of like the screen protector. Then I know its safe.
The 700 fits the 701.
i bought the screen protector from caseen. it`s good and i prefer the protector on, sure it reduces the color a touch, and feels a little different but a good one will do wonders when you have had it 6 months and there's feint touches showing. because chances are they would be there on the screen if it didn`t have the protector.
however since my tablet is in repair and i lost the second backup sheet in the pack i now have no protector i guess when it comes back.
I`m also assuming it will come back just as fault as the original so i am therefore not bothered about the protector,
i will wait for this trio book and perhaps upgrade to that after waiting a few months and seeing how it goes games wise and build quality wise. I wonder how a celeron performs graphically in an android?

The Best Mi 9 Lite screen protector

This is not a simple 9h protection glass, it is a complete kit !!!
There comes a beautiful plastic box that contains: 2 protective glasses for the Mi9 lite, 2 protective glasses for the rear cameras, two cleaning kits for the pre-installation display, two bottles of liquid for the positioning of the cam protection slides and finally a practical plastic frame that guides the installation of 9h glass.
The instructions are very clear: clean the screen with the appropriate kit, place the guide frame on the phone, take the 9H glass, remove the protection of the "adhesive" side and simply placing it in the guide frame this is adsorbed by the display in perfect way without some bubbles. The glass covers the entire display except about 1 mm above and below leaving a small "gotch" for the front cam. It is fairly oleophobic and no sensitivity is lost to the touch screen nor does it create problems with the front imprint. I would buy it again with my eyes closed ... in fact ... there is no need because there are 2 glasses of glass !!!

Its almost pointless to have these types of glass protections on already toughened screen and camera glass. I'd buy a leather case for the phone instead because if you drop the phone on a hard surface, the scratches would be the least of your worries.
It may eventually get sand-like scratches overtime but they are not noticeable at all unless you look by side with screen off at light, there are a thousand more chances to the break the screen than getting a noticeable scratch on it.
Still up to you to use or not.
I bought cheapest one to try out, I have yet to apply it.

I understand where you guys are coming from but, I did an experiment with my Redmi Note 7 vs all other cell phones I've owned in the past....I put a tempered glass on it.
So far, I've replaced 4 tempered glass protectors ( in the year and a half I've had this phone) due to cracks.
My child ran at me full speed to give me a hug at dance class while I was sitting down...that was crack #1...other times 2-4, were accidents where a heavy object either fell on my screen or I dropped the phone face down breaking the protectors.
Each time I wondered what would happen if this were the actual glass itself?! I don't want to know!!!!
Did the protectors pay for themselves several times....HELL YES!!!
I know I didn't want to deal with replacing broken screens etc.
I can and have done these repairs numerous times in the past with other phones.
This time I am proud to say I have and never will have to repair my still flawless phone or screen due to:
1. Having a good time glass cover immediately from day 1 (Teebo brand)
2. Having my phone in a case also immediately from day 1
Is that extreme... probably but I can attest that the next owner I sell my phone to will be happy the phone is near mint condition as a result...as always YMMV

Really nice case. Looks nice, it is very slim and has a great greep.
The only thing I am concerned is its margins/edges around the screen. For example factory (transparent) case has edges at the corners, so If you put the phone face down, the screen is not touching the surface.
The edges of carbon fiber case are barely palpable, so if you lay the phone face down I think the chances are high that you will eventually end up getting some scratches depending on surface.
Is there any feedback about this case?
I have original xiaomi flip case for Mi 10 Ultra, the issue is, it does not protect Camera lens.
I have all 3. This case is thinner than factory included case. Camera bump will touch the surface if lay the phone down. But, I apply tempered glass lense protector. Fits perfectly well.
Unfortunately adding optical elements introduces more refraction and increases the chances of ghosting and flaring. Best not to do this... physically protect it with a raised guard instead.
Almost all phones already have built in lense protectors.
Interesting fact, real carbon fiber is an effective radio frequency EM shield; it behaves like solid metal.

Yeah, I would not do it either.
Eventually I had applied hydrogen protection to the screen and switched to carbon fiber case. I like it more than factory/transparent one.

Unfortunately there not a lot of case choices. My favorite case is the Zizo Bolt but no model for these phones.
All screens need some kind of physical protection or they will get scratched.
On an old S4+ with a failing display I tested how long it go before getting scratched, less then 6 months.
With protector 4+ years and no scratches.

I have been using a note 9, for 2 years, last year with no protection. No scratches so far. Well, I am veeery cautious But Gorilla Glass 5 is really good. My wife does not care about her phone that is also GG5, she drops it periodically on concrete floor, carries it with keys of all kinds. No scratches so far. It is really amazing. Basically this example made me remove my protection from my Note 9. Wwll, I paid tribute to Ultra by applying basic protection, but I think I will eventually remove it
^One grain of sand is all it takes.
Keys and coins aren't hard enough... sand is.
Gorilla glass's scratch resistance isn't much better the ordinary glass.

Accessories Ringke Onyx for pixel 7 with "dual easy film" screen protector

I bought this case and screen protector from their official site. if anybody is going to get it, pay attention to the screen protector installation instructions. the screen protector, if applied correctly, is hardly noticeable. its smooth for the touch but if you scratch it with four fingers it creates a gouge that disappear after a while (depends on how deep the scratch is). i don't like it as much as i like glass protectors, but its better than nothing since i got the impression that the glass protectors are not playing nice with the fingerprint sensor. other than that it is a solid case as far as i can tell. i had a cheap clear TPU case until i recieved this case. the TPU case is so tough and big that the device felt like those anti tank rugged phones. the ringke is much more elegant and refined on the edges, i like it and recommend it. i had ringke on my nexus 4 and it was and still holding on without disintegrating in the test of time.

This is the case I ordered and I'm looking forward to getting it tomorrow, didn't get it with a screen protector tho. Hopefully it's a good case either way
ringke make awesome case, I been using them for years...I love their loop hole design for lanyard...cant beat it for 14 bucks
I ran that screen protector for like 2 days and it started to peel, fp reader didn't work with it either
Absolutely loving the case! So much grip! It also looks premium so that's nice too

i think if you are using it without case or with case that has almost no lips, then you might peel the protector from the swiping actions. Mine is still pristine for almost 2 weeks, with a ringke case obviously
Case looks ok, however I like better if there is all around extra lifting for protecting the screen. I am using Spigen Liquid Air, nothing special it protects. Using on P6 as well and already smashed the phone on concrete several times when felt out from pocket during riding motorbikes). Unfortunately, Speck does not make Presidio Grip case for Pixel 7 that would be my no 1 choice.
Screen protection: Reminds me for L&K protectors, but biggest downside that will pill up from sides (depends on case) over time. There are similar non glass protectors using GEL to stick properly to screen, those will not pill up easily. Got on P6 like that, and still holds after a year usage.
Possibly the best case for this device, bought off your recommendation and loving it. Why other cases not covering the camera visor the same exact way?....
Just ordered the case based on the reviews here and in the webpage. I also ordered the camera tempered glass protector. Currently, I have the Spigen rugged armor case and Spigen glass screen protector
