Hi, I've bought recently this phone and wanted a sturdy screen, preferably a glass tempered one but I've got no idea what brands to go for or if those that you can buy cheap on ebay are enough. I'm a bit clumsy so the possiblity of it slipping out of my hand by accident and falling on its screen is there. If anyone can give some input based on experiences, that'd be great.
Cheap plastic ones from amazon always seem to work fine on all my devices.. When they get scratched I have no issues throwing on a new one.
They are cheap but keep the screen flawless

hi, i am using nillkin H+, i bought it from amazon
Things i liked in this Nillkin :
1) my friends tempered glasses catches scratches, fades after long time use (4 months) and makes screen unusable in rain, but as nillkin is having real nano coating it helps me to operate my phone even in rain with out much problem
2) i bought a tempered glass before worth 270inr from ebay it was good to look, but when i was about to remove it as its not having Nano coating on it, then i observed that it cracked and formed small powder fragments on edges when i tried to remove it with hard plastic :silly:
later i installed nillkin, had to remove this also as i didnt manage to fit it perfectly on my screen.. i used the same hard plastic, this time Nillkin tempered didnt break nor atleast formed any tiny fragments, i lifted it and set again with out any problem
these are my observing on my tempered glass
I bought a tempered glass one for around $3 on eBay, haven't gotten it yet. I don't know if the more expensive ones are better, but better can mean 2 things. Either that it's stronger, so won't break easily; or that it protects the phone better. I doubt one will protect the phone more than the other.

I do the same thing. No problems yet.
I bought a nillkin H+ but removed it after a while because the phone screen is much less oleophobic. With the screen protector on, the fingerprints were extremely annoying, at least on my sample.
So can anyone recommend a really good high quality glass screen protector without flaws? If there is none then i'll order motorola official flip shell...

The $3 ones on eBay don't have flaws. I have one and I know other people who have them, no one has any problems with them. Just first learn how to put it on so you don't break it.

Undersized
I bought a tempered glass one from an online (no brand). It's undersized, about 1.5mm all around. Probably useful to allow a case to grip the front edge, but the description didn't say so. I feel cheated, but for the price it'll do.
My previous tempered glass ones (branded) were excellent protection, and felt better on my finger than the plastic ones.
[edit] I forgot to say, the shape is one with cut-out north of the top speaker, rather than the others I've seen with speaker hole.
Moto G Premium Quality Screen Protector is Anti Glare Matte edition in my recommendation.
it Protects your device from scratches & dust. Easy to Apply , Fits perfectly and requires no cutting. Comes with a cleaning cloth and application card. Easily removable with no sticky residue or marks
Tempered glass screen protector from amazon
I've been using a SPARIN tempered glass screen protector since I got my moto g in August. (It's about $8 on amazon; unfortunately I can't post a link, but it should be easy to find)
I've managed to crack it in at least 8 places (my phone falls a lot), but it hasn't picked up any scratches yet, and it's protected the actual glass underneath. If you're even a little proficient at holding things, it should be fine.
Snakehive protector
I've only had it a few days, but I bought a Snakehive tempered glass protector for my new G3, from their Amazon store. Very pleased so far. It has cutouts for the mouthpiece at the bottom and for the earpiece, light sensor and camera at the top, although at the top it doesn't surround them for some reason, but that's only a couple of milimetres uncovered. It was a breeze to put on when compared to film protectors. I laid it over the mouthpiece and it simply eased itself into place over the rest of the screen. Seems a bargain at the current £3.95.
I'm wanting to get the flip down case from Snakehive too, assuming they get more stock in.

First day of smartphone, yes good idea to have a screen protection. But now with gorilla glass, useless.
It's my point of view.

I used and have a Mr shield or something like that from Amazon super easy too install i've had no bubbles when placing it on the phone also bought a case where there was enough space that should it fall on the screen side it's not touching the floor I've dropped my phone about 5 times over the course of a year. Took off the case and replaced the screen protector and it still looks like brand new minus where I've blindly inserted the USB cord.
10 days to 1 year since i purchased the device . never used any screen protector and been 8 month since i didnt use any case either.
no scratches

my phone has some minor scuffs and little bend on bottom right corner but thats coz the phone fell from above 5 feet . must say the build quality is very solid
Honestly, you just don't need them these days. Had my G3 6 months, not a single scratch and I am hardly careful with it, gets thrown in pocket with keys and lose change, and dropped often because I am clumsy. Plenty of dents along the bezel but screen as good as new.
Received my OTAO Tempered Glass for my Note 8 Today. The Product arrived quickly and was packaged well.
The Package Included : (1) Installation Tray, (1) Glass Protector, (1) Cleaning Cloth, (1) Alcohol Wipe, (1) Sticker for dust/lint removal,
(1) Instruction Card W/Photos, (1) Thank You Card with Contact info for OTAO.
You can purchase them from here : https://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Pro...=1517931940&sr=8-3&keywords=otao+glass+note+8
The un-boxing was fun, was able to lay out everything and see what all came with the product, packaging felt premium and was well tailored to a Note 8 customer. The process to get the tray over device and screen protector on was slightly awkward and honestly if you have a steady hand you could install it without the tray IMO. I used the tray and the protector was installed perfectly center and square so at least there was 0 risk in getting it crooked or anything.
I was really worried about going to full glass protector on a infinity type screen. The curved glass has been hell to cover with anything but liquid glass (that provided 0 real protection) and not interfere with touch / operation.
The screen protector has glue 360* around the glass so there is not any movement or feeling of it being loose or poorly seated. I read other reviews where the glass had become loose or cracked and I can attest that this should NOT be the case. The only way its breaking is a drop or accident that resulted in a good bit of force onto the screen/glass. This protector IS case friendly as well, I tried it with my OtterBox as well as my UAG and neither case lifted or pushed the screen protector in any way!
Overall im really glad I tried the OTAO branded protector, as all the others do NOT have a 360* seal or the ability to work with many cases on the market, and OTAO has both and a really good price!
Check out the photos i took so you can see what to expect! The case in the photos is the UAG Clear Smoked Case btw!
Pros:
Actual Tempered Glass @ a Fair Price ( Under 15$ Shipped )
Has adhesive around the entire glass ( 360 sealed )
Touch response was unaffected / no gaps or air
Cons:
Tray is a little awkward to use, I would say try to do it without if you feel comfortable.
Adhesive around edges seems to be grabbing some lint / hair over time, kinda annoying
Screen has "Dot Matrix" and is slightly visible and certain angles.

I had one like this, another brand, it broke easy. So my question is, did you break it yet?
Mine popped off in 3 days

I did not break it, i had it on my device for 30 days, it was really a decent glass protector, but like me2151 said i did notice the adhesive wasnt nearly as strong as i would have liked.
Otherwise it was a nice all glass protector.
I did not like i could see the dot matrix, and the installer tray was garbage.
Otherwise at the cheaper price compared to the white dome, and seeing people complain about it at 60$ + , its worth the investment for a cheaper one that may last 1/4 of the time but be easily replaced and nearly 1/6 the cost.
I'm on my second one. Not because it broke, but because it popped off when I dropped my note and I got dust beneath. Finally changed it yesterday after weeks with the dust. I know I prolly have micro scratches. I really like this one. But, oh well...
Interesting thoughts.
I am getting a new Note 8 tomorrow and this is in my shopping cart. I have been wondering about this as I have heard traditional screen protectors don't work well on the rounded glass.

Wondering if you guys are using the phone with or without screen protection? I just got my phone and just love the way it the screen feels without anything else on it. Will the screen get scratches easily without protection? I'm not sure what kind of glass this is.
no matter which glass is, sometimes get scratches... no one screen 100% scratch protected...

Yeah, i'm using a tempered screen protector
I'm using without screen protector. No scratches, but I take care of my phones well. (Except for when I dropped metal on my last phone and broke part of the screen, but surely I won't do that twice)
The Mi Mix phones are very prone to screen breakage, so take any and all precautions.
I shattered two screens on the Mi Mix, one that the digitizer stopped working (a 3.5 foot drop), had film type screen protector.
I tried the Mi mix 2, and used a glass type screen protector. The phone had the original Mi Mix 2 case, and had a drop, the screen protector broke... sheesh.
I now have the Mi Mix 2s, and I ordered an aftermarket case that surround the top edge of the screen creating a lip (the phone laying flat on a flat surface, the screen will not touch).
I bought liquid screen protector, and gave the phone screen 5 treatments over a 12 hour period.
I also installed a glass screen protector while I wait for the 5D screen protector to arrive in the mail.
I am compromising less on the case this time, and going for more protection. In the past, I have used the oem case, keeping everything slim and compact. But because these phones are not easy to service (parts are hard to come buy, and tech are not all capable of working on these phones), I am waiting on the newest case to arrive. I went with a clear tpu bumper type case, that has added protection on the corners, comes with metal button backing for magnetic holders, and a ring holder.
Screen protector will help, but a proper case is mandatory.
Cheers,

The case, for me anyways (I had on a Mi Mix) is not enough protection in drop. I had THAT type of case, on my Mi Mix and the screen and digitizer broke from a 3.0' drop onto tile floor, hit the corner of the phone screen (it was a dead drop fall, not a toss type fall) rendering the phone completely inoperable.
The Mi Mix is / was a heavy phone, and the Mix 2 & Mix 2S are no light weights either.
I have to go with something that has a little more corner edge protection (a fall landing on the corners is a no mercy fall, it will probably sustain damage), whereas if the phone lands on it's edge flush there is considerably less damage sustained.
I wish TECH21 would of made a case for the Mi Mix 2s, there suspension absorption design is second to none, and they look amazing to boot.
Cheers
The problem with all the screen protectors i bought so far is that they all seem to be build for the mix 2, not the mix 2s. And the display of the 2s is slightly larger so there is no 100% percentage coverage in any of them. Have the phone for about 2 weeks now, already changed 4 glass protector, all of them suck because they are a little bit smaller than the screen or the roundness of the corners is smaller than the actual screen. Awaiting for alien surface to possibly launch a protector dedicated to mix 2s. Until than i'll rather risk and use the phone with no protector than use it with a ugly as hell one.

I was talking about protectors made for mix 2 being sold as compatible fir mix 2s and they just aren't. I should know sice I exauasted all the mix 2s variants being sold in my country and for the sake of experimenting i bought 2 models for the mix 2 hoping they'll fit somehow the mix 2s. Well they don't. I am still hopeless in finding a screen protector that doesn't look an feel like crap for this phone. At least one bought directly from vendors in Romania wherei live. Never had this kind of problem with the mi5 that i previously used. And i feel reluctant i paying 15 dollars for shipping from Amazon or eBay since i have no way of knowing those are any better than the ones i bought so far. So if anybody has a good protector with the link from where it was bought... Feel free to help. Thanks v

With installation applicator, I can install the screen protector on my Mix 2s so easily. And the quality of the screen protector is decent so far. Would recommend it.
Since you are asking the link, and you are from Romania, you may want to order it from Amazon UK. Here is the link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C7115LH

Thank you for taking the time to post this!
This is by far the best screen protector for mix2s i've seen. Thanks again for your trouble to post it!
Meanwhile i got this
https://aliensurface.ro/produs/xiao...-hd.html#/26-alege_acoperirea_telefoane-ecran
It's made by some Romanian company but it's an interesting concept. It looks great on the phone, it feels great, unfortunately it's just plastic not glass, so I fear it has zero protection against drops, but other than that it's a great product. And no, the phone was not damaged in any way while I had to spray the liquid on the screen to install it.
Without a case? TG(Tempered Glass) protector is a must have.
With the default case, one could get away with a plastic protector. I would personally still get a TG one though.
With a case that offers good protection, a protector might not be required.
Disclaimer: That is my opinion, and should not be taken as facts.
I had a mix 2 before this and let me tell you, you will get scratches no matter how careful you are. My gf bought an iPhone 8 plus at the same time I got mi mix 2 and hers looked much much worse, but you do get fine scratches over time. The ceramic on the back is really tough though.
Hello,
Just wanted to share my experience with tempered glasses on Mi9se.
First I tried this one:
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07P88H5GC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It was quite ok, but covered only the screen part which is on, not the bezels.
It cracked when I tried to clean it up so I bought an other one.
As I knew Nillkin's reputation on cases, I bought this one:
https://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=6461
This is the best! Covers very well the screen and bezels, the camera, and even the camera on the back of the phone.
Don't know about the strenght yet, but I definitely recommend it.
Used Nilkin glass for 1.5months now and after 1 month I wake up and find air inside or whatever that I couldn't push out. On the top the air hole appeared as well a week later. The glass cracked in my pocket while sitting whole day in the office lol. My previous glass that I used for 2.5 years didn't get air trapped inside (I had problems applying but after few days of pushing hard it never lost contact with the display)

That's a shame. Did you have the H+ pro or H flat edge? I hope mine won't end like yours.
Would be great if xiaomi built some tempered glasses themselves. I had one from oneplus on my oneplus 5t and it was very very good, despite the quite expanssive price.

H+ pro
lol so after seeing I hit dead end and that I can protect this phone I decided to peel this protector off. I was very gentle but immediately after raising it just snapped in half (no sound no nothing just the line that bends extremely easily). Feels very soft stuff like some soft plastic. It's a shame that for few weeks there was no signs of any trapped stuff and later air would get in micro dot that I couldn't get rid off and whole big air gap would reaper shortly after

Good. I just ordered one. Also the H+ pro with curved edges.
It has arrived.
I was able to put it on without any dust nor air beneath. So far so good.
Putting on the camera protection was a bit finicky for me. But I have that on too now, without dust nor air. I needed multiple attempts there. Cleaning that with a wet wipe (both sides) works very well for a restart though. I would probably not do that with the screen protector.

Hello, you know that glass can be adapted to my 9se from other brands
Hi guys. As the factory screen protector is garbage I am looking for options. Some I found on amazon.de, however it seems like they should be compatible with Mi10/Mi10 Pro and Mi10 Ultra, didn't know they all have the same screen dimensions and curvature. I would be keen to get a hydrogel type of coating, preferably for front and back, but I realize it may be challenging to find. I wil appreciate if somebody can recommend anything.
I asked liaow who don't stock them. Other Mi phones have the same screen dimensions though..
So I just bought the ones for the mi 10 / pro, they fit perfectly

Is it a glass one or flexible? I don't care for flexible screen protectors at all because they don't protect from screen shatters as much. And just because a flexible one fits doesn't mean a tempered glass one designed for a slightly different phone would.
Obviously you've not seen the other thread on this but I swapped mine for a hydrogel one a couple of weeks ago. Got mine from AliExpress for 10 ultra, fit superb and of course with hydrogel, you can remove and put back on, any bubbles go after a couple of days if you do get any when fitting and the best thing, they are really good at self healing. Took 10 days to arrive but well worth the wait.

I've ordered a screen protector from amazon UK.
It says it works on the Ultra, the Pro and the plain Mi 10
I'll report back if it works I think you can use any Mi 10 range protector. (for what it's worth gsmarena comparison backs this up)
Well it sucks. Did not reach all around the screen. It also didn't seem tall enough. Be wary of buying a Mi Pro protector

ah well, that sucks. I remember my Note 8 and 9 tempered glass protectors never worked with cases, so i went for the gel screen protectors which worked with any case.
after 6 months i went to tempered glass and bare back with a grippy sticker.
i think this phone might be the same, leaving the original protector on and using the 6 cases i have, then no case with tempered screen protector
you can buy uv screen protector on taobao.com or aliexpress.com
The original factory screen protector is indeed not the best. It's a dust magnet for some reason, and scratches easily. I took it off and replaced it with a tempered glass one made for the 10 pro. Fits like a glove.

link, please?
I've ordered one of these from Amazon UK
Quite happy to use hydrogel, the only dislike on this one is the cut-out for camera... previous one for Find X2 Pro didn't have that which made for a cleaner finish.
Follow-up: Horrendous bit of kit, don't get this one! The USB plug moves around and the poles to line up the protector don't line up the punch hole correctly. All sorts of other problems, but those are the main two.
Where did u order it? Could u please leave a link?
Just got this IMAK hydrogel protection. Applied it a couple of hours ago. It has cutout for front camera. It is easy to align and apply, and fits very well to the edges of the screen. It covers curbed part of the screen as well. Just watching how quick remaining bubbles are going away. Amazing. I hope that the edges of case would not touch the edges of protection. Have to wait a little bit more in order to check this.
